Chapter 161: Evil Woman, Release My Junior Brother

Although there were no clouds in the sky above the Fog Plain, lightning could be seen.

The mighty lightning gathered in the sky above the Fog Plain, dispersing the spirit fog. The 10 divine beasts' avatars could be vaguely seen soaring in the sky, emitting a fearsome aura.

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader had submerged his whole body within the lightning and heavenly aura. He was as majestic as a deity that had descended, full of energy.

He had already set up the Divine Firmament Heaven Refining Array, and he had been dispersing the spirit fog for one day and one night now. The spirit fog within the Fog Plain had already thinned by many times, and one could even vaguely see into the depths of the plain.

To that, the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus both felt extremely shocked as this was simply going too smoothly, to the point that it was unreasonable.

A great demon, a Divine Binding Vine, was in the depths of the Fog Plain. This was not a secret between the top sects in the Eastern Wilderness.

As to why the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, which was beside the Fog Plain, had not annihilated and brought the Fog Plain under its control, it was simple. The Divine Binding Vine had been cultivating for thousands of years in the plain and had long transformed it into her domain.

Most of the Fog Plain was Lu Ji's land, and she could control it at will. The spirit fog Lu Ji released would even affect the divine consciousness of many Sages. In addition, her natural divine ability, Ground Burrowing, allowed her to be able to travel anywhere within the Fog Plain. Thus, even if human Sages were to make a move, they might not be able to subdue her, not to mention she had the hidden card of the Divine Devouring Vine bloodline up her sleeves.

Initially, in the Sacred Leader's and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' minds, a normal Sage would need months to be able to clear the fog.

Although the Sacred Leader had brought the 10 Lightning Emperor Flags, and his speed was increased by many times, he would need at least three days and nights to be able to completely destroy the fog array that Lu Ji had set up.

This spirit fog array, which could cover even the sky, was something she had been reinforcing for thousands of years, after all.

Also, in the process of dispersing the fog, he still had to avoid accidentally injuring Shen Tian.

Nonetheless, the two of them had never thought that after just one day and night, he would have almost finished refining the spirit fog array of the Fog Plain. It had almost completely disappeared.

There was only one possibility—no one was reinforcing the spirit fog array anymore!

In fact, when the Sacred Leader activated the Divine Firmament Heaven Refining Array, indeed, he did not sense any resistance. As such, the Sacred Leader took a look at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and kept quiet, but what he meant was already obvious.

You see? I said that there is no need to worry at all. That unlucky demon has already died because of Tian'er. Now we need to hurry and find Tian'er, to allow him to feel the warmth of our sacred ground.

Being Senior and Junior Brothers for 1,000 years, Azure Lotus could understand his look in an instant.

Unfortunately, Azure Lotus was stubborn.

So what if a drastic change did happen in the Fog Plain? Can you guarantee that this change is related to Shen Tian, or confirm that Shen Tian is the final winner?

Azure Lotus was a little envious. Frankly speaking, he did not wish for anything to happen to Shen Tian, but he also did not want him to obtain a fortuitous opportunity. That was because he had already seen what the Sacred Leader had recorded—it was all because of his rejection that Shen Tian had not become his disciple.

Azure Lotus thought that Shen Tian was a bottomless hole when it came to consuming resources, and he would definitely become even unluckier as he cultivated the Tinder Sutra.

However, facts proved that Shen Tian was the Son of Providence, and he had also encountered a fortuitous opportunity in this experiential journey.

But this fortuitous opportunity was not related to Azure Lotus at all, so wouldn't he regret it for life?

No one realized that the Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus were communicating with their eyes.

Zhang Yunxi looked at the spirit fog, which was becoming thinner, and her eyes were filled with passion. "Father, can I go in now?"

Currently, the Fog Plain was only left with some extremely thin spirit fog, so its influence on cultivators was already not that strong.

The Sacred Leader nodded slightly. "I can already sense Tian'er's specific location. All of you wait here."

Azure Lotus started thinking.

According to Junior Brother, this kid has most likely encountered a fortuitous opportunity! You wanna let me wait here... You're really cunning, Junior Brother! You want to hog all the benefits for yourself!

At that thought, Azure Lotus said righteously, "Junior Brother, you were injured severely from setting up the array formation. In my opinion, you should rest in Fog City. Let me go and find my Martial Nephew!"

The Sacred Leader looked at Azure Lotus coldly. How could he not know what his Senior Brother was thinking of?

If he were to let this person go find Shen Tian, the latter would definitely be safe, but not even a Forgetting Pill would be left for him!

The Sacred Leader replied coldly, "It's okay. Although I have injured my vitality, I can recover after resting for a few years. It's totally worth it to save Tian'er! Such a small matter, there's no need to tell Tian'er and make him worried."

After finishing, the Sacred Leader looked at Azure Lotus. "I have already sensed where Tian'er is. I'll go and find him now."

Then, the Sacred Leader unleashed a heavenly light and flew toward the Fog Plain with Zhang Yunxi.

Azure Lotus scolded him for being a sly old fox before leaving a gold light trail as he chased them.

Only Qin Yundi, Eunuch Gui, and the others were left. They all heaved a sigh of relief.

"Saint Shen Tian is amazing. The Sacred Leader was actually willing to sacrifice his vitality to save him."

"Master Celestial is Master Celestial, indeed. He is totally safe even after barging into the depths of the Fog Plain alone."

"Fog City's sudden rescue was indeed due to Master Celestial's involvement. Master Celestial's abilities are really astonishing!"

"Since the Sacred Leader is going personally, His Highness will be safe. Concubine Lan would also be happy if she knew!"

At the Fog Plain's depths...

Shen Tian had already left the mountain valley and came to a leveled ground. A crimson flame was burning in front of him, silently moving with the wind.

That's right, that ball of fire was one of the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origins' fragments, and it was also the last piece that Shen Tian had found.

While the Sacred Leader had been refining the spirit fog the past one day and night, Shen Tian had not rested either. He had completely searched the mountain valley, ensuring that he had not missed any spot.

He had started collecting the Nan Ming Li Fire.

When Sword Venerable Qian Yang had died, his Nan Ming Li Fire's Origins' fragments had been scattered everywhere. Most of the fragments had landed near the mountain valley, so Shen Tian could sense them.

Under the Tinder Sutra energy's guidance, Shen Tian had quickly found the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origins.

Meanwhile, this ball of flame in front of him was the last Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin fragment he could sense.

Shen Tian carefully refined the Nan Ming Li Fire using his Tinder Sutra, and a special form of energy surged throughout his body. He could sense that the fire within him was burning even hotter.

Among the Five Elements, fire corresponded to one's heart, which was the organ that provided blood for the body.

Currently, Shen Tian's heart was being strengthened by the Li Fire, and he could feel that he had become even more powerful than before!

He even had the itch to try battling with a Perfected Immortal!

Of course, only a try that would result in death...

Shen Tian took a wooden box out of his Archeon Sea Ring. Golden bones were within the box. They were extremely hard and emitted ripples of the true Sword Dao.

Shen Tian speculated that these should be Sword Venerable Qian Yang's broken bones, what remained after his death.

Since Shen Tian had obtained most of the Nan Ming Li Fire, he should build a grave for him due to sentiment and reason. Thus, in the process of collecting the Nan Ming Li Fire, he had also collected Sword Venerable Qian Yang's remaining bones.

After digging a hole using the Divine Devouring Vine, he buried that box. Then, Shen Tian found a stone and sliced it into the shape of a long strip. He raised his Lotus Shooting Gun and wrote six big words—Grave of Sword Venerable Qian Yang—on the stone's surface.

Next to the big words, he wrote "—erected by a fated person, Shen Tian" in small size.

I took your Nan Ming Li Fire, but I buried you. Thus, we don't owe each other!

Just when Shen Tian wanted to heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly thought of something.

No! I'm too careless! How could I leave my name? What if Sword Venerable Qian Yang had an enemy and saw this tombstone? By then, wouldn't that enemy think I had inherited Sword Venerable Qian Yang's arts and come to take revenge on me? Wouldn't I have become Zhao Hao's scapegoat? No, no, this is too dangerous!

At that thought, Shen Tian changed his name "Shen Tian" to "Zhao Hao" in the "—erected by a fated person, Shen Tian".

Yeap, this looks better.

Wait, this is not right either. Aren't I causing trouble for Brother Zhao now?

Shen Tian placed his hand on his chin and looked at the tombstone. He was deeply conflicted.

At that moment, a silver figure suddenly descended from the sky. There was a huge lightning White Tiger avatar behind her, and she was emitting an aura of fury.

"Evil woman! You dare to snatch the mask I gave to my Junior Brother! What did you do to him? Hurry and release my Junior Brother! If not, I'll chase you to the end of the world!"

Just as she finished, this powerful woman had already descended. Her fist, which was as ferocious as a tiger, headed toward Shen Tian!

When she threw the punch, Mixed Divine Lightning surrounded her whole body, and she was like a ferocious tiger pouncing on food.

If she was not Zhang Yunxi, who else could it be!?

Chapter 162: This Setup Seems Too Illogical

Shen Tian had his whole mind fixed on thinking how to best set up the gravestone for Sword Venerable Qian Yang when the change occurred.

His instincts made him take a leap back—but of course, how would he be able to handle Zhang Yunxi's infuriated attacks anyway?

Shen Tian quickly threw the stone in his hands at Zhang Yunxi and whipped out the Black Tortoise Shield to block Zhang Yunxi's advances.

Boom!

How could a mere gravestone fend off Zhang Yunxi's attacks?

The moment it came into contact with Zhang Yunxi's fists, the whole stone burst into fine powder.

Shen Tian couldn't even have time to feel sorry for Sword Venerable Qian Yang before he felt yet another hit against the Black Tortoise Shield—it felt like a truck had bumped against the shield.

His entire person was blasted back by hundreds of meters. By the time he managed to steady himself, both his arms felt numb with ache, and he almost couldn't hold onto the Black Tortoise Shield.

Sssss!

I have to give my hat off to Senior Sister!

Such brute strength, such scary advances!

But before Shen Tian could finish his admiration, his face paled behind the mask because he saw that Zhang Yunxi's aura got more formidable.

For heaven's sake, after acquiring the Mixed Divine Lightning, Senior Sister's abilities have increased by leaps and bounds.

Not only did she manage to attain the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage, but she also has the Mixed Divine Lightning to protect herself. This means that if she used the Mixed Divine Lightning now, she could easily suppress other cultivators who attained the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage!

Much as though Shen Tian's abilities had increased after his adventure at the valley, he was also afraid to face such a shrew. Most importantly, Shen Tian was still wearing the Spirit Venerable Divine Water's armor—how on earth would he dare to battle with Zhang Yunxi in this state?

As such, the situation became like this—while Zhang Yunxi's advances became more ferocious every blow she dealt out, Shen Tian was too scared to be recognized that he had to retreat repeatedly.

It was obvious as to who was on the losing end between the two of them.

"Damn it, you b*tch! You even took my Junior Brother's Black Tortoise Shield! Where is my Junior Brother Shen Tian? Hand him over NOW!"

Zhang Yunxi was too stuck on the conventional mode of thinking, and it never occurred once to her that there might be other possibilities. She was undoubtedly certain that this blue-armored lass in front of her was the demon that ruled the Fog Plain.

If not, why would the token of love that she had given to her Junior Brother and his Black Tortoise Shield end up in "her" hands!?

Junior Brother Shen Tian must be held captive by her. Once I beat this demon, I will be able to save him!

Wait a minute...

At that moment, something came to Zhang Yunxi's attention from the corners of her eyes—she saw a new grave beside them.

Her whole body shook, and a scary thought leaped up to her mind.

Can it... can it be that Junior Brother Shen Tian has already come to harm?

At that thought, a huge wave of sorrow and hatred washed over her.

Powers that were never seen before erupted from her body and the Mixed Divine Lightning covered her entire torso.

A shimmering Golden Core rose up from Zhang Yunxi's body, emitting majestic divine lights. However, this Golden Core was cracking up—broken fragments peeled off from the Golden Core's surface, revealing another even more brilliant Golden Core hidden within it.

Yes, that's right—Zhang Yunxi had made a breakthrough in the middle of this battle!

She had evolved further from her current status of the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage and attained the Golden Core Nine Refinement Stage.

The present Zhang Yunxi was no longer inferior to Fang Chang—more accurately, she had surpassed him in power!

At the same time, both the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stood facing each other in mid-air.

The expression on the old Taoist priest's face was too interesting for words to describe. Meanwhile, one could see the heavenly aura on the surface of Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader body vibrating so vigorously that it seemed ready to explode at any time.

Azure Lotus' mouth twitched. "Junior Brother, do you think that fellow down there is him?"

The Sacred Leader replied, "He-cough, cough, no, that lass cannot be Shen Tian."

Glee was written all over the old Taoist priest's face. "Stop lying. Do you honestly think that I believe the Phoenix Feather Mask can shield against your divine consciousness?"

The Sacred Leader tried to keep his usual aloof stance as he replied, "That demonic lass is not Shen Tian!"

"Junior Brother, are you sure? Surely, I believe you can see that this armor set is a supreme-grade Spirit artifact. No demons could own that!"

"...Well, I believe Tian'er must have encountered some extreme danger then. He must have no choice but to equip that armor set. It's at times like these that we need to do our best to protect his identity."

Azure Lotus mocked, "So, the Son of Providence can also meet extreme crises?"

The Sacred Leader replied coolly, "Well, can't you sense the extravagant aura Tian'er's body is emitting?"

At that, the old Taoist priest's forehead creased up. He turned back and stared intently at Shen Tian, and shock took over his initial doubtful expression.

When extraordinary items were just being refined, the person who obtained them would not be able to contain all of their auras.

For those of high cultivation levels, such auras were very obvious.

As such, when Azure Lotus observed more closely, he was shocked to discover that just in a few days, there was such a drastic change in Shen Tian's aura.

What the hell!? Did he go and ransack some sacred grounds during these few days that he went missing?

How come there are suddenly auras of Spiritual Wood and Exceptional Fire emitting from his body? The grades of those items are quite advanced too!

Azure Lotus felt that the Azure Heavenly Fire he possessed might be of a lower grade than what Shen Tian possessed now.

At the same time, he also sensed that Shen Tian's constitution had changed to that of the Little Five Elements Yang Divine Lightning Constitution!

But a few days before, that lad only had a normal constitution. How is it that he could develop a Yang Divine Lightning Constitution in just a few days? What kind of fortuitous opportunities did he meet with exactly!?

After all, out of all the talents the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had seen throughout the ages, there were only a scarce few people who possessed the Yang Divine Lightning Constitution.

Not to mention that Shen Tian had developed such a constitution just at the Foundation Establishment stage—this was unheard of!

Azure Lotus stared at Shen Tian with bloodshot eyes.

"This lad, he... he..."

Seeing how Azure Lotus was unable to complete the sentence, the Sacred Leader replied nonchalantly, "So, what do you think of him now? I have already said before that Tian'er is the Son of Providence. Senior Brother, do you believe it now?

"The Fog Plain's master has gone missing, and it was most probably Tian'er's doing. In front of those who have great providence, cultivation levels are like nothing!"

The old Taoist priest swallowed and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

The Sacred Leader replied calmly, "Xi'er is too impulsive for attacking Tian'er just like that. But I daresay Tian'er's capabilities might be on par with her, and he can get out of this fix by himself.

"Senior Brother, let's just wait and see what will happen. Leave matters to me, and don't act by yourself. Remember, now what we need to do is to be mindful of Tian'er's dignity."

Back on the plains, Zhang Yunxi's abilities had a marked improvement after her cultivation was stabilized.

She attacked Shen Tian continuously, and every strike was fiercer than the previous one.

Shen Tian felt really resigned. He didn't know if he should fight back or not.

Oh, wait! Didn't I obtain the Divine Devouring Vine's Ground Burrowing skill?

Shen Tian finally remembered that he had this last life-saving skill.

He immediately stuck out his right hand, and a lush green vine shot out. The vine hit Zhang Yunxi's right fist, and needless to say, it was flung backward. After all, much as though the Divine Devouring Vine was powerful, Zhang Yunxi's cultivation was too high, and it was easy for her to defeat this vine.

However, the main purpose of Shen Tian releasing this vine was also not to beat Zhang Yunxi. That was too unrealistic.

The moment the vine touched Zhang Yunxi, Shen Tian's body flung out with it. He was actually using Zhang Yunxi's strength to quicken his retreat!

Following which, lush green vines stuck into the ground like growing spirals.

Just within the blink of an eye, Shen Tian disappeared in front of Zhang Yunxi, leaving no traces at all!

Zhang Yunxi looked alarmed as she requested, "Father, that demon had escaped by burrowing through the ground. Please subdue it for us!"

Despair washed over Shen Tian's whole body after he heard what Zhang Yunxi said from above the ground.

Why the hell is Master here too!?

After all, he was a Saint who had truly survived the tribulation transcendence and was much more formidable than the Vine Mother, Lu Ji.

Before him, Ground Burrowing would most probably not work!

Is it really set in stone that my reputation will be ruined today?

Just when Shen Tian was freaking out underneath the ground, he heard the Sacred Leader's serious voice ring out.

"Heavens is kind. I see that you had it hard to reach your current cultivation, and I really do not want to ruin it.

"Fellow cultivator, I shall give you an hour to release my disciple.

"Should Tian'er be missing even one hair, I will wipe out the whole Fog Plain and leave no living species!

"Remember, give him his rightful apology and send him out in a respectable fashion!"

The Leader's announcement was obviously siding with Shen Tian, and this made him really touched.

At the same time, Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief—he didn't expect that even his Master could not see through his disguise.

No matter what, that's great. I will just change my clothes and come out from another direction to meet them later.

My reputation is preserved!

...Hmm, but really, is the Phoenix Feather Mask so powerful that it can even hide one's identity from a Saint?

This setup seems too illogical!

Chapter 163: The Little Vine Cries

Shen Tian knew all along that the Phoenix Feather Mask could hide one's identity.

However, he did not expect that it could even obstruct the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader's inspection.

No matter what, it was good that he was not discovered—Shen Tian still cared a lot about his reputation, after all!

He started to change out of the light blue armor underneath the ground and put on his normal clothes.

Shen Tian then took out a mirror and observed his reflection intently, in hopes that no traces of his previous appearance were left behind.

At the same time, the Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus were not feeling that calm as they hovered in mid-air, especially the latter. He was green-eyed with jealousy at what he saw.

After all, ever since he had started cultivating the Tinder Sutra, he had been unlucky till now.

The only extraordinary item on himself—the Azure Green Sky Flame—was actually obtained before he had started cultivating the Tinder Sutra.

But just look at Shen Tian—not only had he obtained the First Essence Heavy Water, but he had now even obtained another two extraordinary items!

His providence made Azure Lotus so jealous that he felt like pointing up at the heavens and cursing it for being too unfair!

As for the Sacred Leader—being the more brainy person among the pair—he was able to process the whole situation in a more holistic manner.

Azure Lotus had only thought of how Shen Tian had managed to develop the Yang Divine Lightning Constitution and obtained two extraordinary items.

But the Sacred Leader noticed one critical point—that is, Shen Tian actually could merge all these items together!

One must know that such extraordinary items were makings of Heavens' will, and while they were extremely powerful, they were very hard to tame.

Normal cultivators would have a hard time refining them for their own usage, even if they happened to possess them.

For example, Azure Lotus had already refined the Azure Green Sky Flame, so his abilities had seen a marked improvement. Nevertheless, he might not be able to refine another extraordinary item should he come across it. This was because the refining process was never easy, and some might not even be lucky enough to endure the whole process.

Legends had it been that 3,000 years ago, there was this Godfiend cultivator who had tried to merge three extraordinary items together by force. In the end, the powers of all three items couldn't be contained, and the expert suffered a Qi Deviation during the process. His entire body had been destroyed!

Just imagine—if even such a mighty figure could fall to demise by trying to merge three extraordinary items together, then what about Shen Tian?

He was just a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he could already achieve what that expert was unable to do? How could anyone achieve that unless they had a constitution which was being favored by the heavens!

The Sacred Leader confirmed that his judgment of Shen Tian was accurate.

Tian'er will be our sect's future hope!

At that moment, the Sacred Leader was suddenly reminded of the fact that his Senior Brother, who always did not know any better and always foiled his plans, was still standing beside him. As such, he secretly sent Azure Lotus a voice transmission and told him of his suspicions.

"Senior Brother, I have already said my piece. Are you willing to help out Tian'er now that you have seen that he's truly the Son of Providence?"

Azure Lotus' face flushed red, and in his mind, a resolute voice rang out again—"If I regret, I am the son of a b*tch!"

All at once, he was caught between the dilemma of being the son of a b*tch and enjoying fortuitous opportunities brought by the Son of Providence, or being a poor old bloke with nothing but imaginary high aspirations.

I mean, I am a Heavenly Venerable, after all. I want my dignity too!

"Umm... For this, Senior Brother has to observe him more. There's no haste for such matters."

Much as though he was reluctant to concede defeat in front of the Sacred Leader, Azure Lotus had already consented to his Junior Brother's request deep down in his heart. This was because he knew that even though both he and Shen Tian were cultivating the Tinder Sutra, their different constitutions meant they would achieve vastly different results.

It was a known fact that most of the cultivators who cultivated the Tinder Body-Tempering Art would not see many effects, even though they might spend more than 10 times the amount of resources Azure Lotus spent.

Azure Lotus knew that he was already considered the more talented one amongst this group of cultivators—his cultivation process had been considered really smooth. In fact, he might have been the favored one among his peers!

Yet he knew very well that when he had reached this body-tempering realm, his own abilities were never as strong as Shen Tian. All else aside, he wouldn't even have dared to try refining three extraordinary items like Shen Tian did, even if these items were placed in front of him!

This was because the powers contained within such items were so strong that if one did not handle them well enough, they might trigger self-explosion!

Even those who had already surpassed the Transcendence stage of the Godfiend Body Tempering skill might die on the spot during the refining process.

After all, it would definitely not be fun having powers exploding within one's body. This was an entirely different matter from great powers exploding outside of one's body.

This was the reason Azure Lotus was taken by shock when he saw that Shen Tian had actually successfully refined and contained all three extraordinary items within his body. He had always felt he was a talent in this field. Yet now, he was like nothing when compared against Shen Tian!

If not for the fact that he had once made the oath of being the son of a b*tch, he would have fought to get Shen Tian as his disciple!

As such, the old Taoist priest was caught up with mixed feelings of awkwardness, indecisiveness, regret, and jealousy now.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yunxi's aura finally stabilized as she calmed herself down. She came before the new grave, and worry was written all over her eyes as she stared at it.

The Sacred Leader guessed what his daughter was thinking about and commented, "Don't overthink. The person being buried in this grave is not Tian'er. Tian'er is still safe as of now."

His words made Zhang Yunxi's eyes brighten up. "Is it? Then I shall go and rescue him now!"

The Sacred Leader turned his head to another side and reassured her, "Don't act impulsively. With me around, no demons will dare to play tricks. I can feel Tian'er's aura. He has been released by the demon and will come to us soon."

Just when he finished his words, a voice rang out from behind a nearby hump.

"Master, Martial Uncle, Senior Sister, that demon has released me."

Shen Tian walked out in his usual white robes and strode confidently toward them. As he was feeling rather sheepish, he tried to hide his embarrassment by walking as manly as he could. After all, Zhang Yunxi had just battled with him recently. He was too afraid that she could sense anything from the way he walked and made the connections.

However, Shen Tian was trying a tad too hard. In fact, this made the way he walked seem extremely awkward.

Using a common internet slang from the 21st century, Shen Tian was walking in such a fashion that not even his kins would recognize him—like the way Conor McGregor walked[1].

Yet to the Sacred Leader and the rest of the people at the scene, this did not seem weird at all. After all, they felt that it was logical for their Saint to display such a confident disposition.

Though Shen Tian met their expectations previously, they had always felt he was too low-key and seemed rather easy to bully.

But now, such a Shen Tian was perfect—he had the looks of an immortal and seemed like a war of god descending to earth, ready to take over the world with his might!

This was exactly how the Saint of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground should behave like. In fact, the Sacred Leader was feeling extremely pleased.

Indeed, the ancient teachings have not failed me. Tian'er is one who will rise up to great heights!

And now that Tian'er has become our sect's disciple and obtained such great fortuitous opportunities, he is obviously on his path to greatness.

With him supporting our sect, we will have chances of ruling over the whole of the Eastern Wilderness again!

Ripples were seen on the heavenly aura on the surface of his body, as the Sacred Leader imagined about the bright future.

He commented to Shen Tian, "Tian'er, I hope that the Vine Demon did not harm you!"

A slight tremor ran down Shen Tian's spine, and he hurriedly shook his head.

"Oh no, of course not, how would she dare to harm me! I only told her that I am the disciple of the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader, and she was so scared that she released me at once!"

Everything might go wrong, but flattery would not. The Sacred Leader had rushed all the way here to save Shen Tian, and although he didn't provide any actual help, Shen Tian still appreciated the gesture and would, of course, speak nothing but good words about him.

He would definitely remember this favor that was shown to him.

Shen Tian's words made the Sacred Leader even more pleased. The ripples on his body's heavenly aura shimmered even more brightly.

He nodded his head and said, "Since Tian'er is safe now, then it's time I start reasoning with the demon king of this Fog Plain. How dare she, a mere half-Saint, dared to attack my beloved disciple!"

10 Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags shot out and froze thousands of kilometers in the near vicinity.

Terrible lightning gathered in the sky above, and it was as if the heavens were meting out the punishment.

About a few kilometers away, a certain little vine stuck itself arduously into the earth. It tried its best to absorb all the Spirit Qi it could get from the Spirit Stone Vein beneath the ground and looked forward to its growth.

"I will never admit defeat. The heavens are unfair to me, and I shall prove myself by cultivating to become an immortal! I will change my destiny!"

Right after it made the announcement, the sky darkened above her, and lightning flashed past the sky.

Heavens' wrath filled the vicinity as if it would come crashing down any time.

At that moment, that little vine was stunned.

Two strings of milkish-white liquid flowed down from its body.

It looked like it was crying.

I only made a small proclamation to myself. Why, why strike me down for this?!

He was known for his signature stride, where he tilted his head up and walked while swaying his body from left to right in an exaggerated and overconfident manner.

Chapter 164: First Senior Brother... First Senior Brother Suffered a Qi Deviation

Seeing that the Sacred Leader insisted on finding trouble with Lu Ji, Shen Tian wiped his sweat. He had no idea Lu Ji had escaped with the tiny bit of her body left. He thought she had been eaten.

What if the Sacred Leader cannot find her after searching the valley of fog? Will he think that I'm disguised by that demon?

Shen Tian was terrified by his thought and said, "Master! Relax! Relax!"

The lightning aura around the Sacred Leader flickered. "Don't worry, Tian'er. I've got your back!"

It felt good to have such support, but that was not what Shen Tian needed now.

"Master, it's okay. Although Mother Vine Lu Ji captured me by mistake, she did not hurt me at all. Let's forget about her!"

Zhang Yunxi frowned upon hearing it.

Why is Junior Brother shielding that demon? He seems weird today...

Sssss!

Is Junior Brother under some kind of illusion technique of the demon?

Zhang Yunxi secretly cast a seal that could remove illusion techniques on Shen Tian.

Oh, it feels so good!

Shen Tian felt his body get lighter.

Zhang Yunxi asked again, "Junior Brother, are you sure that you want to let her go?"

Shen Tian nodded and replied, "Master is the Sacred Leader. He cannot take back his word. When that demon let me free, she mentioned that there was a Spirit Stone Vein in the valley not far from here. She is willing to give that to me as compensation."

Upon hearing the words 'Spirit Stone Vein', the old Taoist priest was excited, "Spirit Stone Vein? Where? How big is it? Is it enough for us?"

Shen Tian said helplessly, "It should be quite big since a big demon like the Mother Vine could cultivate in it."

The Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian carefully and asked, "Did she really give you the stone vein willingly?"

Shen Tian nodded guiltily. "Maybe... She felt guilty?" As your disciple, I'm willing to give this stone vein to the sacred ground. Take it as a token of gratitude for saving me."

The Sacred Leader shook his head and said, "Since it was given to you as compensation, it belongs to you. The sacred ground will not take it.

"Never mind. Since the demon wants to repent for what she did, I'll give her another chance. She'll go free today. However, if I catch her doing such a thing again, I'll not forgive her!"

The little vine on the far end of the plain was relieved to see the lightning disappear.

It was so scary! I thought it was going to strike me again! Even the Heavenly Dao did not want to exterminate me!

Although I have successfully undergone Nirvana, the Nirvana Spirit Water was taken away by that evil woman!

But the essence of my bloodline is still preserved! As long as I have this Spirit Stone Vein, I'll get all that back! I'll not let fate decide what I can become! I'll become stronger after 3,000 years!

Just as the little vine was imaging how she would dominate the Eastern Wilderness, she started shaking uncontrollably.

A man covered in lightning and heavenly aura was coming her way. His face was covered completely. However, the little vine could tell that the man was very strong.

Lu Ji would not have been able to beat this man even before she was injured. Presently, she was just a little vine that could barely handle a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Damn! Why is a human Saint in the For Plain! Why does he want to bully me!?

Just you wait! After I have cultivated for 3,000 years, I'll kill every single one of you!

Lu Ji was talking to herself before she felt the earth started to tremble. She felt something moving vigorously underneath her, something huge and had a very bad feeling about it.

What is this Saint doing now? Even he is robbing me now!?

A gigantic green crystal was pulled out of the ground and floated in the air. It was covered in dense Spirit Qi—simply approaching it would make one feel refreshed.

It was the Fog Plain's Spirit Stone Vein, and the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader was absorbing it with his mighty prowess.

This Spirit Stone Vein was priceless and very valuable!

A few small kingdoms could be bought by the Spirit Stones present in the vein alone.

What was more important, the Spirit Stone Vein could absorb the wastage of Spirit Qi present in the surroundings. If it was placed in the sacred ground, it could enhance the Spirit Qi present there. Thus, the entire sacred ground could benefit from it.

Azure Lotus was very jealous.

This stone vein smells so good! I want to suck it dry!

Why did I not take Shen Tian as my disciple? I could have at least 40% of this Spirit Stone Vein that way!

Indeed, Azure Lotus was very jealous now. However, he was not the only one who felt frustrated. The one who felt most frustrated was not even a human. It was the little vine that was stuck in between the sunken soil.

It looked at the giant Spirit Stone Vein floating in the air in despair, feeling its whole life was meaningless now.

The entire Spirit Stone Vein is gone! Not a single bit is left!

Humans! You are so despicable!

You took my Nirvana Water! You took my Divine Juice Wine! And now, you want to take my Spirit Stone Vein!?

Although I'm not human, you guys are really inhumane!

Karma will find you one day!

The Heavenly Dao is so unfair!

The little vine looked at the Spirit Stone Vein helplessly, full of hatred and resentment. However, no one knew about it as Jiu'er was too far from there...

The huge Spirit Stone Vein shrank in the Sacred Leader's palm and eventually became palm-sized. The Sacred Leader had employed a special spatial skill—he placed the vein in the void and compressed the void to get this effect. It was very similar to how Azure Lotus had handled the Great Golden-Winged Eagle.

However, compared to the stone vein, the Great Golden-Winged Eagle was so much easier.

"Tian'er, I'll plant this at the Saint Mountain when we get back." The Sacred Leader continued. "There will be two stone veins in the Saint Mountain now. The original one belongs to the sacred ground, and this one belongs to you."

Shen Tian was very touched. Honestly, he had been prepared to give everything to the sacred ground. He would be extremely happy if he got 30% of the benefits. He had never dreamed that the Sacred Leader would give him the entire stone vein!

He is such a good leader! I'm so touched!

Shen Tian said excitedly, "Master, how can I take everything for myself!"

The Sacred Leader patted on Shen Tian's shoulder and said, "Why not? I think you deserve it.

"You are the Saint and eventually will become the Sacred Leader. You must treat the sacred ground as your own home.

"What the sacred ground has is what you are going to have in the future. Anyway, it is your fortuitous opportunity, to begin with. You can accept it with pride.

"Once you reach Immortal Ascension, we will be so proud of you. This stone vein is nothing compared to that."

Azure Lotus got even more jealous upon hearing the Sacred Leader's piece.

I want to treat the sacred ground as my home too...

Why must I be scolded for taking some Spirit Stones from this 'home'?

Junior Brother, you are so biased!

The Sacred Leader Token suddenly vibrated, and Zhang Yunting's anxious voice sounded.

"Father! Father! I'm Yunting, can you hear me? There's an emergency! First Senior Brother had a hunch a few days ago and tried to reach the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. But today, he suffered a Qi Deviation, and... his Golden Core broke!"

Chapter 165: I Need To Be Responsible?

Fang Chang had suffered a Qi Deviation while attempting his Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage and his Golden Core broke as a result?

Everyone was very worried about Fang Chang's condition when they heard the news.

The Golden Core was a cultivator's cultivation foundation, and the tool helped them understand the Heavenly Dao. Once the Golden Core was broken, it would be a disaster for the cultivator—one could lose their life from that!

Not everyone was like Shen Tian, who had survived 88 times of Qi Deviation. What was more important was that a broken Golden Core was worse than a Qi Deviation.

The Sacred Leader was worried too upon hearing that Fang Chang had suffered a Qi Deviation.

His heavenly aura flickered as he said, "Alright, I understand the situation already. Yunting, go to Junior Sister White Lotus with Fang Chang and ask for her help. I will take a look at him when we get back."

The Sacred Leader seemed extremely calm. He maintained his chillness despite the sudden bad news.

He stored his Sacred Leader Token and said, "What were we saying just now? Oh, the stone vein. Tian'er, do not reject it. It is yours. Let's finish this discussion and go back to see Fang Chang together."

Shen Tian was shocked to see how calm the Sacred Leader was now.

Master, are you sure you want to save Senior Brother Fang Chang? Why are you so calm?

Shen Tian felt that if he did not keep the stone vein, the Sacred Leader could spend hours convincing him now. He was utterly helpless. Shen Tian wanted to help Fang Chang too, so he decided to keep the vein.

Shen Tian said, "Since Master insists, I'll keep it then. Let's go back and check on Senior Brother now."

The Sacred Leader shook his head. "Don't worry. Junior Sister White Lotus knows what to do. Since I'm here now, I'll bring you guys back first. It is safer that way."

Then, a door appeared in front of the Sacred Leader. The moment Shen Tian was near the door, he was sucked into it and disappeared from the plain. Azure Lotus and Zhang Yunxi entered the door too.

Some strange lights flickered before they were in Fog City.

Upon seeing that Shen Tian was back, everyone in the city jumped in joy—some even started tearing up.

"Master Celestial is back! He is back! It is Master Celestial!"

"Master Celestial was wearing a mask when he was performing fortune-telling. How do you know it's him?"

"Please, your brain! Just look at that face!"

"Master Celestial is so handsome! How could a mask hide that? Nonsense!"

"I recognize Master Celestial too! No one could be this charming other than him!"

"Master Celestial! It's me, Wuxia! I swore that I would marry only you! Do you remember me?"

"Brother Shen, I have recovered my cultivation and am part of the Celievers now!"

"Master Celestial, our Favored Ones group is very well-known in Fog City now!"

"Yes, indeed. I've been recounting your miracles these few days."

"Me too! My book, How I Met Your Master Celestial, is published!"

"Same for me! I've helped too!"

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for keeping His Highness safe!"

The entire Fog City was thrilled to see Shen Tian.

Some Celievers were cheering for him, while some females even tried to take advantage of him in the crowd. Some others tried to stand beside Shen Tian but were pushed away by the crowd.

Shen Tian's return overjoyed the entire Hidden Fog Country.

Zhang Yunxi frowned upon seeing the crowd around Shen Tian, especially all the females. A flash of silver lightning ran through the ground toward Shen Tian.

Tsss!

After a moment of shock, the crowd surrounding Shen Tian was pushed back, their hair standing up from the static electricity.

Zhao Hao and Xue Wuxia made their way slowly to Shen Tian, overexcited at that.

Xue Wuxia said, "Master Celestial, do... you still remember me?"

Shen Tian looked at Xue Wuxia and was surprised to see how... common-looking she was.

Big eyes, sharp chin, tall nose... Just like all the other good-looking girls! How am I supposed to remember you?

Shen Tian mumbled, "Erm... I think I remember you... You are..."

Xue Wuxia's excitement reached its peak. "Yes! I'm Xue Wuxia! Master Celestial still remembers me!"

Zhao Hao looked at Xue Wuxia like a jealous husband and walked up to Shen Tian too. "Brother Shen, what about me? Do you remember me?"

Zhao Hao? How could I forget about you!

Shen Tian was excited to see Zhao Hao too.

He was right, indeed. Zhao Hao had a bright future. The halo on Zhao Hao's head was now pure golden. He had managed to overcome this hurdle and would have a smooth-sailing life in the future!

Zhao Hao was just as beneficial to Shen Tian as Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi. Many good things would happen to him, and Shen Tian could freeload his providence in all those occasions!

Shen Tian smiled and said, "Brother Zhao must be joking. How could I forget about you? Did you follow my instructions and restored your cultivation?"

Zhao Hao replied emotionally, "Brother Shen, you are so amazing! I do not know how to repay your kindness. I'll just kowtow to you!"

Then, he knelt down.

However, Shen Tian did not dare to accept that as he was just someone with a dark green halo! If this man with the golden halo was to kowtow to him, he would be in big trouble!

Shen Tian quickly helped Zhao Hao up and said, "Brother Zhao, that's not necessary. I was just doing what I could to help you. There is no need to be so formal. If you are really keen to repay this kindness, just help me when I need your assistance in the future."

Zhao Hao felt that Shen Tian was right. He should actually do something to repay Shen Tian. Then, Zhao Hao had an idea.

"Brother Shen, how about let me be your follower? I have nothing to repay your kindness. But I'm willing to follow you around for three years. I'll follow whatever you instruct me to do without complaint! Although I'm not as gifted as Brother Shen, I'm still the most talented person in Hidden Fog Country. If you need any help around here, I'll be the first one to help you out!"

Zhao Hao was very straightforward—he just wanted to repay the kindness. However, the others were not happy about it.

Liu Taiyi took out a notebook and wrote Zhao Hao's name on it.

Shopkeeper Song sighed. There's another one here to flatter Master Celestial...

Even Eunuch Gui stared at Zhao Hao. 'If you need any help around here, I'll be the first one to help you out!'? Are you trying to make me lose my job?

Shen Tian was utterly helpless, seeing Zhao Hao was this serious about it.

I'm just here to share your providence! Why am I stuck with you now?

What? I need to be responsible for you now? I really cannot do it!

Chapter 166: Father, Senior Brother Cannot Make It

Shen Tian was thinking of what excuse to use to reject Zhao Hao when someone appeared. He looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Nine-Yang Battle Constitution?"

The Sacred Leader was well-read in all kinds of ancient books and was very knowledgeable. He had read about the Nine-Yang Battle Constitution in one of the ancient books. It was said to have the same principle as the Huge Sun Saint Constitution. It was just one of its variations.

Although it was not as powerful as the Huge Sun Saint Constitution, it was strong enough to overpower most of the world's spirit constitutions. Even Fang Chang's Fire and Earth Dual Lightning Spirit Constitution was no match to it!

If the sacred ground could recruit him, his presence would be invaluable. He could eventually become one of the sacred ground's strongest protectors!

Thus, the Sacred Leader asked slowly, "Tian'er, who is this?"

Shen Tian had no choice but to explain, "This is Zhao Hao. I met him in Fog City the other day."

Zhao Hao added, "I wish to have a chance to repay Brother Shen's kindness!"

Shen Tian's luck stunned the Sacred Leader. Not only had he managed to obtain a Spirit Stone Vein and two precious items, but he had also unearthed a genius follower with the Nine-Yang Battle Constitution!

According to Zhao Hao, Shen Tian had given him a few instructions, and he recovered his cultivation miraculously!

It was like Shen Tian was the Son of the Heavenly Dao itself!

Tian'er must be a blessing to our sacred ground!

The Sacred Leader replied, "Sure! Zhao Hao, you are fated with the sacred ground. You can join us. Are you willing to be my disciple, becoming my fifth true disciple?"

The Sacred Leader's proposal astonished Zhao Hao. He hesitated for a moment. In the cultivation world, a master was like a father to cultivators. He could not have another master without the previous one's permission.

Zhao Hao was Sword Venerable Qian Yang's disciple, so he found it morally wrong to acknowledge a new master now.

But it's such a good opportunity...

Then, a weak voice sounded in Zhao Hao's mind. "Accept the offer."

It was Sword Venerable Qian Yang.

The Sacred Leader observed Zhao Hao before he calmly transmitted to the Sword Venerable, "Friend, there's barely anything left of your soul. If you want, you can use the Soul Palace in the sacred ground to regain your power. When you are ready, you can become a ghost cultivator or find another suitable body."

The two of them communicated through their spiritual power and came to some kind of agreement. Finally, they had a deal.

Zhao Hao was sold... Cough, cough, sent to the sacred ground by his master. The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader would be his new master, and he would cultivate lightning arts.

Zhao Hao was looking forward to being in the same sect as Shen Tian. He finally had the chance to repay Shen Tian for what he had done.

Zhao Hao was excited and showed off in front of Xue Wuxia.

Hahaha, the tide is turned, and I've finally beaten you! Now, I'm in the same sect as Master Celestial, and he is my Senior Brother! What about you?

Indeed, Xue Wuxia was very jealous of him. Nonetheless, she was not the only one. Azure Lotus' green monster became uglier too. His jealousy sprang from the fact that the Sacred Leader had accepted yet another genius as his disciple.

I'm starting to think that I'm a fake elder in Divine Firmament...

How I wish I could have so many disciples with a bright future!

When he is old and fails his Tribulation Transcendence, they will be there to take care of him. Unlike me, I have nothing! There's no other way than Immortal Ascension!

Zhao Hao bowed to the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader and followed behind Shen Tian.

The Hidden Fog Country's king walked up to Shen Tian and asked if he was willing to have a golden statue built in his honor.

Naturally, Shen Tian wanted to reject the idea.

I'm just a Foundation Establishment cultivator! What if my providence is too low to have such honor and backfire?

Just as Shen Tian about to reject the proposal, the Sacred Leader spoke. "Tian'er, accept that. According to ancient books, it would be beneficial to you when tons of people make offerings in your name."

The Sacred Leader believed that Shen Tian was the Son of Providence, so it was alright for them to build a golden statue for him.

Shen Tian had no choice. "Alright, but make sure the statue includes the mask as well. Try to be as low-profile as possible."

Shen Tian took out his Phoenix Feather Mask and showed it to the king.

"Alright, Master Celestial. I'll ask the best sculptor to do it."

Well, I will definitely give emphasis to Master Celestial's essence! The Phoenix Feather Mask looks so good on Master Celestial! It gives prominence to his transcendent self!

The Hidden Fog Country's king was willing to build hundreds of statues of Shen Tian after knowing the relationship between him and the Sacred Leader.

Gold was not precious in the world of cultivation. It would be more valuable to be favored by the sacred ground. As long as he had the chance to flatter Master Celestial, money was not something to worry about!

When everything was settled, the Sacred Leader Token vibrated again.

Zhang Yunting's voice sounded. "Father! Father! This is Yunting. Can you hear me?"

The Sacred Leader replied, "Yes? Are you at Junior Sister White Lotus's place?"

Zhang Yunting said, "We are there already. But Aunt-Master White Lotus says that Senior Brother's injury is too serious. She tried her best and could only prevent the wounds from getting worse. There's nothing much she could do. When can you guys be back? Senior Brother is vomiting blood now. He is in great pain. What do I do?"

The Sacred Leader replied, "Relax! Do not panic. I'm on the way back. I'll reach White Lotus Mountain soon. Do not panic!"

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader kept the token and looked at the king.

"I'll take my leave now. You guys continue to discuss the details on Tian'er's golden statue."

The king promised to provide the best resources he had.

The Sacred Leader used his mystic art again and brought the others back to the sacred ground. He planted the Spirit Stone Vein down at the Saint Mountain and left.

Although he had abandoned his feelings, he was still worried about Fang Chang.

Many true disciples were around the White Lotus Mountain.

Fang Chang was very arrogant in the sacred ground and did not have a good relationship with others. However, suffering a Qi Deviation while trying to reach the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage was a shocking piece of news, and everyone wanted to know the latest information.

Shen Tian sat on the Saint Mountain's Enlightenment Stone, moody. He was holding a chrysanthemum and counting its petals.

"My fault, not my fault, my fault, not my fault..."

Shen Tian was only thinking about one thing now.

Am I the one to blame for Fang Chang's Qi Deviation? Is it because I took away his fortuitous opportunity?

Oh, I feel so bad for him!

Chapter 167: Bodhisattva Kuduo

It was reasonable for Shen Tian to have such thoughts.

Technically, Shen Tian had only snatched others' fortuitous opportunities twice after he had transmigrated.

Once was when he had obtained the Demon Book of Hyuga before Qin Gao. That had resulted in Qin Gao receiving a harsh beating.

The second time was now that he had obtained the Divine Devouring Vine's silver liquid, which was supposed to be Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity.

As a result, Fang Chang had suffered a Qi Deviation immediately. His Golden Core was now broken, and he was on the verge of death now.

He had snatched the fortuitous opportunities twice, and both times the original owners had suffered almost immediately.

It was just too much of a coincidence!

Although the 13th Prince had been well-educated, the books he had read were just common ones. Shen Tian had no understanding of the silver liquids.

He planned to secretly bring the liquid to Fang Chang's room, and from there, he would share the providence with him. However, Fang Chang was in the White Lotus Mountain's 'ICU ward' now.

The Sacred Leader, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and White Lotus tried their best to save Fang Chang. However, there was no good news at all.

Thus, Shen Tian was really concerned about this matter.

Of course, Shen Tian was worried because Fang Chang was his Senior Brother, not because he was afraid of losing someone whose providence he could freeload.

Well, I should go to White Lotus Mountain and check on him. He is my Senior Brother, after all.

Worse comes to worst, I need to see my Senior Brother for the last time before he dies!

Shen Tian sighed and used his flying sword.

A huge crowd surrounded the White Lotus Mountain, but they were not allowed to enter. Only the true disciples had the eligibility to enter, and there were very few of them.

Li Yunfeng, Qin Yundi, Zhang Yunxi, and Zhang Yunting were present, together with Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao was here not because he was worried about Fang Chang. He just felt that being here allowed him to integrate into the group faster.

Shen Tian landed and asked, "How's Senior Brother Fang Chang? Update me."

Li Yunfeng's face was filled with sorrow. "Senior Brother, you are finally here. Poor Fang Chang, what a tragedy..."

Shen Tian decided to ignore Li Yunfeng. He had no time to listen to whatever he was trying to say. He looked at Qin Yundi and asked, "Yundi, you are an honest man. Tell me, what's the situation now."

Li Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, feeling insulted and threatened.

He would seek revenge if someone else treated him in that manner. Unfortunately, Shen Tian had beaten First Senior Brother before, so Li Yunfeng did not want to mess with him. He had an ominous feeling that the outcome would be a nasty one if he tried to pick up a fight.

Qin Yundi quickly answered, "The Sacred Leader and Martial Uncle Azure Lotus have been inside for two hours. Nothing happened in these two hours. I think First Senior Brother is not healed yet."

Zhang Yunting added, "Sigh... First Senior Brother is too stubborn! He is too proud and refused to cultivate the forbidden sutra we gave him. Instead, he tried to forcefully refine his Golden Core. As a result, he suffered a Qi Deviation and broke his Golden Core."

He genuinely worried about Fang Chang as they were like true brothers.

Shen Tian felt helpless too. Although he had suffered plenty of Qi Deviations before, those brought minor injuries. What Fang Chang suffered was way worse.

Cultivating to the Qi Refinement stage was not a big deal at all. It was the most basic step. One could consider themselves as real cultivators when their Dharmic foundation formed their Golden Core, and Divine Emblems started to appear on it. Thus, the Golden Core was no different than a cultivator's heart.

Fang Chang was in a perilous situation now since his Golden Core had broken.

Shen Tian wanted to help, but he had no idea what he could do.

At that moment, a ray of light enveloped the White Lotus Mountain. It was a golden Buddhist light, and its radiance lit half of the sky. At the same time, 800 Arhats and other guardians stepped out of the ray of light.

Sanskrit sounds suddenly reverberated the place as if Buddha was chanting sutras to redeem the world. Then, the wooden fish released rhythmic sounds, and a monk in a white robe appeared out of nowhere.

He was sitting cross-legged, with a giant Bodhi Divine Tree avatar behind him.

When the wind blew, all the leaves started moving, and it radiated more light.

When the monk appeared, it seemed like the entire world was rid of all troubles.

The young monk was too outstanding, and everyone was looking at him.

Zhang Yunxi said to Shen Tian, "This is First Senior Brother's friend, Bodhisattva Kuduo. He's the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's Bodhisattva, the strongest one in this generation.

"Sonic Thunder's Sacred Leader has personally taught him the Great Sonic Sutra and the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra. These are the best arts they have.

"However, Bodhisattva Kuduo does not like sitting down and reading books. He is more of a hands-on type of person.

"His Mighty Dragon Demon Subjugation technique is extremely powerful. He's ranked 2nd on the Golden Core List, surpassing our First Senior Brother."

Zhang Yunxi's introduction was short but provided critical information to Shen Tian.

Shen Tian concluded that this Bodhisattva was an extraordinary individual. One had to know that millions of Golden Core cultivators resided in the Eastern Wilderness. Thus, the Bodhisattva was really amazing to rank second among so many Golden Core cultivators.

Shen Tian asked quietly, "Senior Sister, why does it seem his cultivation technique is different? Why does he have an avatar as well?"

Zhang Yunxi looked at Bodhisattva Kuduo and said, "Well, you will find out soon."

Bodhisattva Kuduo sat down in mid-air and slowly floated onto the top of the mountain.

He was good-looking and gave off a friendly vibe. He smiled and started to rub his rosary beads, and then the avatar disappeared immediately as though it was just an illusion.

Bodhisattva Kuduo heaved a long sigh.

"I'm so bored! Master punished me to copy the entire sutra!

"Fortunately, Fang Chang suffered a Qi Deviation, and I managed to escape from him. Thank you, Fang Chang!

"Sister Yunxi! Hello! I haven't seen you in half a year. Do you want to test out my skill now?

"Erm, are you new around here? Your looks are comparable to mine. How should I address you? Do you want to test out my skills too?"

The monk's sudden change of demeanor astounded Shen Tian. He stared at the rosary beads Bodhisattva Kuduo was holding and asked, "What was that avatar just now?"

Kuduo smiled. "That's my Master's item. What you saw earlier was just an illusion."

Chapter 168: Big Dipper's Saint, Chen Zhongtian

Bodhisattva Kuduo explained, "I have never liked Buddhist scriptures, so I could not form the Bodhi avatar. The avatar just now was cast by my Master, an illusion stored within these Bodhi beads. Master had said that I was too easygoing. As the Bodhisattva of a sacred ground, I did not have the magnanimity and..."

Speaking till here, Bodhisattva Kuduo seemed to be unable to think of a suitable word.

Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. "Posh? Grandeur?"

Bodhisattva Kuduo hurriedly nodded. "That's right, posh and grandeur, but what does posh mean? Sigh... Never mind! Anyway, Master demanded that I must activate the avatar when I am outside. Otherwise, he won't let me leave, and I will be punished by copying the Buddhist scriptures' passages. He's simply heartless!"

Seeing Kuduo, who felt he was very wronged, Shen Tian could not help but secretly mourn for the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground.

The Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground is so tragic to have such a Saint!

As the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's Bodhisattva, isn't fronting your responsibility? If you don't show off your power, who would know of Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's name? Right!

One had to know that Buddhism's cultivation method was the art of relic merit. It was different from the way of Dao.

The Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground originated from the West Desert Paradise. They were a foreign sacred ground.

As the cultivation art of relic merit had yet to take firm root among the masses, it was not easy for them to find disciples to cultivate Buddhism. Thus, presently, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's Bodhisattva, who was traveling, was extremely important!

If, while wearing clothing as white as snow, the Bodhisattva could flaunt his power as much as possible, then naturally, the sacred ground would have face.

However, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground just had to have such a blockhead. He traveled to many places, killing demons and fiends, thus accumulating merit, but he just did not know how to be a poser. Such an honest person, how could he help his sect to promote Buddhism and expand the sect?

The Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's leader had no other choice but to make a Buddhist artifact and force Bodhisattva Kuduo to bring it if he had to go outside. Thus, it could be seen how helpless the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground was to the point of going nuts with such an honest and upright Saint.

However, even though Bodhisattva Kuduo made the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's leader feel so resigned, his position was still as firm as a rock that no one could threaten it. That also reflected from another aspect the talent and strength of Bodhisattva Kuduo—it was indeed quite astonishing.

Yeap, both have well-developed limbs but a moronic head. The same dislike for reading books and always being punished to face the wall.

Shen Tian confirmed that this fellow was Fang Chang's 'true' brother.

Just as Shen Tian was commenting about Bodhisattva Kuduo in his heart, the doors of the White Lotus Mountain's secret room gradually opened, and a few people walked out.

The person walking in front was the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader. He was surrounded by lightning and heavenly aura, majestic and unfathomable.

Meanwhile, on the Sacred Leader's left and right were the old Taoist priest, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and a dignified woman in white, respectively.

That woman wore a long white dress, and her ink-black hair covered her shoulders. It was as if a fairy had descended.

Her face was not as exquisite as Zhang Yunxi'a, but she emitted a holy, motherly radiance. It made one feel close to her just by looking at her as if they were related.

The white-clothed woman was the Peak Leader of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's White Lotus Mountain—Heavenly Venerable White Lotus.

She was the kindest and most gentle elder in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, as well as the dream lover of countless disciples.

As compared to other elders, who were discreet in speech and manner and always held themselves aloft, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus almost never got angry. She was easy to approach.

At the same time, as she mainly cultivated the Butterfly Immortal Sutra and White Feather Medical Sutra, she was also proficient in the art of healing. All of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's disciples would go to the White Lotus Mountain to heal if they were injured or poisoned. That was also the reason why all of the Divine Firmament's disciples treated the White Lotus Mountain as a holy land.

Every female disciple in the White Lotus Mountain was extremely popular in the sect!

Upon seeing the few elders coming out, Zhang Yunting and Kuduo hurriedly walked up to them.

They said simultaneously, "Master/Sacred Leader, how is Senior Brother/Fang Chang's injury?"

Their words were filled with concern, but the looks they gave each other were not that friendly. That was because Zhang Yunting thought that the reason his Senior Brother was this simple-minded was largely because... one takes the behavior of one's company!

Meanwhile, Bodhisattva Kuduo thought that Zhang Yunting would just read ancient books and was simply an enigmatic person.

He had taken a liking to Fang Chang at first sight, and they often learned from each other by having friendly spars. He was extremely annoyed with Zhang Yunting, who was always following Fang Chang around!

Thus, every time Zhang Yunting and Kuduo met, they would definitely bicker.

However, this time, it was rare to see that they did not argue anymore.

The Sacred Leader looked at Kuduo calmly. "So it was Bodhisattva Kuduo."

Kuduo replied respectfully, "I greet the Sacred Leader. Please forgive me for coming without invitation."

The Sacred Leader said, "Not at all. I am very relieved that Chang'er has a good friend like you. It's a pity that Chang'er's injury has only barely stabilized. He is still unable to meet guests, so I'm afraid you won't be able to see him."

Bodhisattva Kuduo took out a small golden bottle. "I heard that Senior Brother Fang Chang is in trouble. I specially asked for this Golden Body Potion from my Master. I hope that it can be of some help."

The moment that the Golden Body Potion appeared, it was as if chanting sutras' sounds could be heard.

A faint fragrance escaped the jade bottle, and it made one's body feel extremely comfortable. That was the ultimate treasure of their sect, the Golden Body Potion. It was the supreme treasure for those cultivating Buddhism to gather their relic and form the Golden Body.

Only when the Holy Monk passed into parinirvana could they create a little by consuming the Golden Body's essence.

To the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground, each bottle of Golden Body Potion was their core resource—its preciousness was immeasurable. Even Bodhisattva Kuduo, the core inheritor, could at most use a small bottle.

Bodhisattva Kuduo was actually willing to give a whole bottle of Golden Body Potion to Fang Chang to help him heal. One had to say, the brotherhood of these two bottom-feeders was truly deep!

The Sacred Leader said calmly, "I appreciate your kindness in Chang'er's stead. However, Chang'er's injury was because his Golden Core had cracked. The Golden Body Potion is the supreme treasure to strengthen one's body. Thus, this Golden Body Potion would not be of much use to Chang'er's injury. Bodhisattva, please keep it and use it yourself!"

Bodhisattva Kuduo instantly pulled a long face. "Even the Golden Body Potion is useless? Is it possible that Fang Chang is going to die?"

Upon hearing Bodhisattva Kuduo's words, Shen Tian facepalmed.

This Bodhisattva was really straightforward...

Although what he said was not wrong, he actually said in front of the Sacred Leader that his disciple was going to die?

With such a Bodhisattva, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's hope of promoting Buddhism in the Eastern Wilderness was most likely an unachievable dream!

It was fortunate that the Sacred Leader had cut off his emotions and desires, so he was extremely rational. Thus, he did not think what Kuduo said was inappropriate.

He replied calmly, "It's unlikely to result in death. But his Golden Core cracked, so it's challenging to keep his cultivation.

"If Chang'er is lucky, maybe, he might cultivate again in the future.

"If Chang'er is unlucky, he will most likely not be able to cultivate anymore."

Once the Sacred Leader finished, everyone's minds were weighed down with anxiety.

To cultivators, especially a top genius of the Eastern Wilderness like Fang Chang, being unable to cultivate was simply like turning into a good-for-nothing. If he had to live like this, it would be better to die directly!

Such a result was too cruel to Fang Chang, who firmly believed he was "invincible"!

In an instant, the mood in the whole White Lotus Mountain turned heavy.

At that moment, starlight cascaded the White Lotus Mountain as a Big Dipper avatar illuminated the sky with its starlight.

The seven stars shone radiantly, vaguely gathering to form the shape of a huge spoon. It seemed to have the great grandeur of "scooping the countless stars in the sky at once"!

That's right—another guest had arrived on the White Lotus Mountain!

Chapter 169: Righteous Spirit, Qi Shaoxuan

As the avatar of the Big Dipper could be seen, a man wearing silver battle armor appeared. His eyebrows were sharp like a sword, and he had star-like dazzling eyes. His whole body was surrounded by starlight.

The moment he appeared, the Big Dipper avatar shone even more radiantly, as if the god of stars had descended. He seemed to be of around the same age as Zhang Yunting and others, but his aura was mighty. It was vaguely even stronger than Bodhisattva Kuduo.

This man appeared at the White Lotus Mountain and bowed to the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader. "I am Chen Zhongtian from the Big Dipper Sacred Ground. I greet the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader!"

Although he was bowing, his presence still compelling, he did not restrain his aura at all. Evidently, his aim for coming to Divine Firmament was not as friendly as it seemed.

The Sacred Leader looked at Chen Zhongtian coldly. "Not bad, you've already reached the Nascent Soul stage."

His words left all onlookers astonished, secretly becoming more vigilant.

The Big Dipper's Saint, Chen Zhongtian, was originally ranked 4th in the Golden Core List. His talent was only below Qi Shaoxuan, Bodhisattva Kuduo, and Fang Chang.

However, Chen Zhongtian did not continue staying in the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage like the others. Instead, he resolutely decided to break through to the Nascent Soul stage with Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage as his foundation. Thus, Chen Zhongtian's strength had increased by many times. He was no weaker than the three geniuses who previously overshadowed him.

Most likely, even if Bodhisattva Kuduo went all out, he might not be able to match up to Chen Zhongtian and might even be defeated badly.

Chen Zhongtian turned and glanced at Bodhisattva Kuduo. He smiled and said, "I did not expect for Senior Brother Kuduo to come here too."

Bodhisattva Kuduo replied in an angry tone, "Why? Even you can come to muddy the waters, why can't I?"

Chen Zhongtian chuckled. "I'm not here to cause trouble, don't speak nonsense!"

As he spoke, the Big Dipper's Saint took a small jade bottle out of his ring and gave it to the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader respectfully.

Chen Zhongtian introduced, "I heard that Senior Brother Fang Chang's life is in danger from failing to break through to the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. It really hurts to hear that.

"This is the supreme treasure, Nirvana Holy Liquid, that Senior Brother Shaoxuan had entrusted me to bring to help heal Senior Brother Fang Chang.

"Such a precious treasure contains limitless vitality and can even heal Dao injuries. Maybe, it can be useful to Senior Brother Fang Chang."

Once Chen Zhongtian finished, the sound of someone taking in a sharp breath resounded. It was the astounded Li Yunfeng.

Upon sensing the puzzled looks of the surrounding people, Li Yunfeng explained, "He's really generous!"

Zhao Hao asked in curiosity, "Why? Senior Brother Yunfeng has heard of such a thing?"

Li Yunfeng nodded. "Naturally, I am the Divine Firmament Know-It-All! Do you know what the Nirvana Holy Liquid is? Do you know how precious it is?"

Seeing that everyone showed him the "please start your performance" expression, Li Yunfeng started to talk tirelessly and vividly.

"The Nirvana Holy Liquid is a supreme treasure that can only be formed if plant-type demons willingly sacrifice themselves and refine their own essence.

"Some powerful plant-type Demon Kings might choose to undergo Nirvana and enter deep sleep, awaiting their chance of resurrection.

"They would refine their huge body into the purest energy essence to be consumed during Nirvana.

"Normally, only plant-type demons at the peak of Soul Formation and above can undergo Nirvana.

"Also, the plant demon must choose to create the Nirvana Holy Liquid willingly for it to have satisfactory efficacy.

"If you were to force plant-type demons to undergo Nirvana, how would it be possible that they would be willing, right?

"That is to say, for the Nirvana Holy Liquid to be formed, three conditions must be satisfied.

"Firstly, finding a mighty plant-type demon with cultivation level at the peak of Soul Formation or above.

"Secondly, that demon must willingly undergo Nirvana and refine their body into the Nirvana Holy Liquid.

"Thirdly, in the short period where the Nirvana Holy Liquid is formed, one must find the Nirvana Holy Liquid and collect it.

"As long as one of the three conditions is not satisfied, then it will be impossible to obtain the Nirvana Holy Liquid. The conditions could be said to be harsh."

Upon listening to Li Yunfeng's description of the Nirvana Holy Liquid, Shen Tian had mixed feelings. He looked at the Sacred Leader and Chen Zhongtian standing at the side silently.

He saw that the Sacred Leader had opened the bottle containing the Nirvana Holy Liquid.

Instantly, the rich, fragrant scent of spirit herb spread throughout the room.

Shen Tian was extremely familiar with such a fragrance, but it also seemed a little different.

Shen Tian could vaguely see that there was liquid within the bottle the Sacred Leader was holding. However, that liquid was not silvery-white but pink, extremely illusory.

The Sacred Leader nodded slightly. "This Nirvana Holy Liquid should be created by a mighty demon at the peak of Soul Formation stage.

"If I'm not wrong, this should be the Holy Liquid created by a Peony Flower Demon undergoing Nirvana. It is quite rare."

Chen Zhongtian stared at the Sacred Leader. "The Sacred Leader is amazing, indeed. I admire your broad range of knowledge."

The Sacred Leader said, "This Nirvana Holy Liquid is very useful to Chang'er. I am grateful to the two Saints."

Chen Zhongtian replied, "I am but just running an errand. I could never be in possession of such a supreme treasure. Truthfully speaking, this Nirvana Holy Liquid is actually Senior Brother Shaoxuan's gift to Junior Sister Yunxi. Gentlemen desire a kind and beautiful woman. Shaoxuan Shaoxuan has always admired—"

Before Chen Zhongtian could finish, the Sacred Leader interrupted him. "What do you mean?"

The Sacred Leader looked at Chen Zhongtian coldly. "Why is Qi Shaoxuan not here to say this himself?"

Chen Zhongtian replied respectfully, "Sacred Leader, please calm down. Senior Brother Shaoxuan is preparing for the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage!

"He heard that Senior Brother Fang Chang had suffered from Qi Deviation from when trying to break through to the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. He's worried that Junior Sister Yunxi might be worried due to it."

"Thus, he immediately asked me to bring this Nirvana Holy Liquid and rush here to save Senior Brother Fang Chang.

"When Shaoxuan Shaoxuan succeeds in achieving the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage, he will definitely come to ask for her hand personally."

Chen Zhongtian might sound polite and appropriate on the surface, but if one carefully analyzed, then it would not be hard for them to understand the hidden meaning.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was one of the oldest amongst all sacred grounds. Meanwhile, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground and Purple Mansion Sacred Ground were both relatively new sacred grounds.

The sacred grounds' relationships were complicated. Naturally, some were close, and some were in conflict.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and Purple Mansion Sacred Ground were not on good terms, and they secretly competed against each other.

Currently, the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had a peerless genius, Qi Shaoxuan, who was said to be blessed by the heavens and had the Ancient Thearch's talents.

Meanwhile, in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Fang Chang, who was the strongest disciple, had suffered from Qi Deviation when trying to reach the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.

One was about to exceed the limits and reach the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage, while the other had failed when at the Ninth Refinement Stage. With the rise of one genius and fall of the other, the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to display their strength.

Thus, the so-called desire to marry Zhang Yunxi might really be what Qi Shaoxuan wanted, but more importantly, it was to purposely provoke the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

The Sacred Leader held the Nirvana Holy Liquid coldly, and lightning shot out of his palm. The jade bottle was instantly destroyed, and the pink liquid the size of one's palm floated in the sky.

The rich, fragrant scent could be smelled in the whole White Lotus Mountain, and countless people started desiring it.

The Sacred Leader said coldly, "Everyone says that Qi Shaoxuan is the Son of Providence, but I see this is all there is to him.

"He wants to marry my daughter with this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid? Have the both of you 'Saints' seen what a true fortuitous opportunity is?"

Chen Zhongtian explained, "Sacred Leader, you must be joking. This is the legendary Nirvana Holy Liquid! Just a drop can save one's life, and a bottle of it is already a priceless treasure! Besides Qi Shaoxuan, who could be this generous and righteous? Who could just give such a priceless treasure?"

Chapter 170: Handsomeness and Aura Domination

Evidently, the Big Dipper's Saint was a loyal supporter of Qi Shaoxuan, and he immediately beamed with joy when mentioning his name.

"This holy liquid is enough for Senior Brother Fang Chang to stabilize his Dao injury. At the very least, it can help him survive."

"Qi Shaoxuan has said that this Nirvana Holy Liquid he gifted to Junior Sister Yunxi is only to show his sincerity. If Junior Sister Yunxi is willing to marry him, then more holy liquid is nothing difficult. This could allow Senior Brother Fang Chang to recover completely, and it may not be impossible for him to even reach the Nascent Soul stage."

A confident smile was plastered on Chen Zhongtian's face.

It's Zhang Yunxi's luck to be able to be liked by Senior Brother Shaoxuan.

In Chen Zhongtian's mind, just a Zhang Yunxi was not good enough for Qi Shaoxuan at all. Nevertheless, since Qi Shaoxuan had ordered him to go to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to ask for her hand in marriage, Chen Zhongtian would not go against his orders.

Although they were both saints, Qi Shaoxuan had the "Thearch's talents", so they were not on the same level at all.

Chen Zhongtian was the first Saint to choose to follow Qi Shaoxuan.

In the future, when Qi Shaoxuan becomes an invincible Sage, I will become the most important follower. Would I still lack fortuitous opportunities?

Frankly speaking, the holy liquid Qi Shaoxuan had gifted to Divine Firmament was just a drop of what he possessed. In fact, he had obtained a total of about 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid during a certain experiential journey.

Divine Firmament's bottle only contained just 500mL.

Meanwhile, Chen Zhongtian had also been given 500mL.

Due to those 500 grams of Nirvana Holy Liquid, Chen Zhongtian could complete his breakthrough to the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage and be ranked 4th in the Golden Core List.

Without the Nirvana Holy Liquid's help, he could at most enter the top 10 of the Golden Core List with his true strength. It was also due to that that Chen Zhongtian did not have the extravagant hope of breaking through to the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.

After stabilizing at the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage, he had chosen to enter the Nascent Soul stage resolutely.

In his mind, as long as he rode on Qi Shaoxuan's coattail, achieving Immortal Ascension was just but a matter of time!

Upon hearing Chen Zhongtian's words, Zhang Yunting frowned. "This lackey, Chen Zhongtian, is too treacherous.

"All of the Eastern Wilderness' sacred grounds' core disciples know that our First Senior Brother is deeply in love with Xi'er.

"First Senior Brother had always been conceited. Losing his cultivation was enough to upset him, not to mention depending on Xi'er to survive.

"What bullsh*t is he spouting! If Xi'er is willing to marry Qi Shaoxuan, he will be able to obtain more Nirvana Holy Liquid? If Brother Fang relied on Qi Shaoxuan's Nirvana Holy Liquid, then it would be useless even if he recovered his cultivation or reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. He would definitely be unable to accept that, and thus mental demons would form to haunt him!"

Zhang Yunting had inherited the Sacred Leader's habit of "Like reading books, read good books". Thus, he could clearly see through Chen Zhongtian and Qi Shaoxuan's plan.

Nonetheless, even if he knew that those two were up to no good, they could not turn against them. On the contrary, they had to thank them—be it in terms of formality or sentimentality, what Chen Zhongtian did was appropriate.

This was a blatant scheme with two options—either forgo Fang Chang's life and reject the Nirvana Holy Liquid or endure the humiliation and accept the Nirvana Holy Liquid if they wanted to save Fang Chang.

As for the possibility of those Soul Formation elders directly making a move to teach Chen Zhongtian a lesson? Well, that could not help save the sacred ground's reputation at all. On the contrary, if they did that, it would make them lose face even more badly since Chen Zhongtian had come as a well-mannered guest. At the same time, Divine Firmament would be stigmatized as a sacred ground that bullied the weak.

In that instant, everyone at the White Lotus Mountain peak was filled with righteous rage.

Well... only the emotionless Sacred Leader and shameless Azure Lotus were still calm.

The Sacred Leader put away the Nirvana Holy Liquid calmly. "Although it is not enough, thank you. As for the matter between Xi'er and the Purple Mansion's Saint, let Xi'er decide for herself! I would not act in an arbitrary fashion."

Seeing the Sacred Leader store the Nirvana Holy Liquid without hesitation, Chen Zhongtian could not help but be stunned.

This didn't go as planned!

I have already flaunted so straightforwardly and even arrogantly belittled Fang Chang.

As the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader, shouldn't you express angrily that you won't accept this humiliation? Then throw the Nirvana Holy Liquid back in rage, and tell me that you don't want it and make me take it back?

This way, I would be able to bring the Nirvana Holy Liquid back.

However, what kind of person is Senior Brother Shaoxuan? How could he take back an item he had given? Since the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground wouldn't accept it, Senior Brother would most likely give it to me.

Chen Zhongtian had engaged in his wishful thinking, but he never expected his grand plan to be overturned. He stood at his spot, dumbfounded. He was in a daze as he did not know what to say.

After a long time, he swallowed his saliva. "Sacred Leader, this bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid is a gift for Junior Sister Yunxi."

The Sacred Leader nodded. "I know, I am only helping Xi'er to keep it. Why? Is there a condition for the gift that the Purple Mansion's Saint gave to Xi'er?"

Chen Zhongtian's face instantly turned red. "There... There is none."

The Sacred Leader said, "Since there is none, then do you have any more questions?"

Chen Zhongtian took a deep breath. "Senior Brother Shaoxuan and Junior Sister Yunxi are simply a match made in heaven.

"Sacred Leader, are you really not going to consider it? Senior Brother Shaoxuan said that as long as—"

The Sacred Leader interrupted Chen Zhongtian. "Frankly speaking, my daughter already has someone she likes."

After saying that, he gradually turned to look at Shen Tian. "Tian'er, come here."

In that instant, everyone focused their attention on Shen Tian, to which the latter helplessly sighed.

Honestly speaking, he was extremely unhappy now.

Why did I have to encounter such a cliche plot of fighting over a girl? Couldn't there be any new methods for courting envy?

The Sacred Leader could just directly chase Chen Zhongtian out of the sacred ground after taking the item, but he just had to single me out and make me face that fella!

Shen Tian had already thought of the subsequent plot. One possibility was that he would be humiliated by Chen Zhongtian. However, if that was the case, the Sacred Leader would be upset, the Saintess would be upset, everyone would be upset!

By then, would he still be able to stay in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground? It was simply a matter of losing face!

The other possibility was that Shen Tian had to think of ways to return the humiliation and show off the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's strength. However, the Purple Mansion's Saint would definitely hold a grudge against him if that was the case.

By then, they would come to seek him for revenge. If the young one failed, then the older and more powerful ones would take action—one after the other, extremely annoying!

Shen Tian, who was filled with helplessness, walked before the Sacred Leader. "Greetings, Master."

The Sacred Leader nodded in satisfaction. "Big Dipper's Saint, this is my sect's new Saint, Shen Tian.

"The Saint's coronation is already being prepared, and the invitations to the major sacred grounds will be sent soon.

"Meanwhile, he is the one my daughter likes."

Chen Zhongtian stared straight at Shen Tian. Frankly speaking, he had not noticed him previously. Now that he stood in front of Shen Tian, Chen Zhongtian suddenly felt a humongous pressure, nonetheless.

There... There is actually someone with such extraordinary handsomeness!? His presence is simply too astonishing! Especially the outstanding and elegant temperament he is giving off!

Chen Zhongtian even thought that this person was even more like the reincarnation of an immortal with a heavenly aura than Qi Shaoxuan.

It's no wonder Zhang Yunxi likes him!

Darn it! How did the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground find such an extraordinary Saint!? Just what are those disciples in the intel-gathering department doing!?

Chen Zhongtian felt that he no longer had the upper hand.

His aura was being suppressed while he was starting to feel ashamed of himself!

He had... lost his arrogance!

Chapter 171: Please Take A Look, Is This The Nirvana Holy Liquid?

Shen Tian was extremely conflicted as he had to face the Big Dipper's Saint. He was thinking of how he should humiliate Chen Zhongtian and make it seem as if it was something natural.

Meanwhile, in Chen Zhongtian's eyes, Shen Tian had an "indifferent and aloof" expression.

As expected of the Divine Firmament's Saint. Not only does he have a dignified and imposing appearance, but he's also neither conceited nor rash. He must be extremely open-minded.

Chen Zhongtian inwardly admired Shen Tian.

Although the Big Dipper and Divine Firmament were not on good terms, the sacred grounds' evaluations of each other were basically the same. It would not be too biased because of one's position.

In Chen Zhongtian's opinion, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's true disciples were basically useless, and his belief intensified when he brought out the Nirvana Holy Liquid, which was a part of Qi Shaoxuan's fortuitous opportunity.

He used a blatant scheme to suppress the Divine Firmament, and those true disciples had let their emotion get the better of them, completely unable to conceal their anger. Their mindsets could not be compared to the Sacred Leader—this sly old fox—at all!

On the other hand, this new Saint's face didn't betray the slightest hint of anger. He just looked at Chen Zhongtian emotionlessly. Even Chen Zhongtian, who was proficient in reading others, could not guess what Shen Tian was thinking.

More importantly, Chen Zhongtian had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage faster than those of the same age, yet he was unable to sense Shen Tian's cultivation level when facing him.

This Shen Tian is as mysterious as a vast ocean or a black hole. I'm unable to see through him. He must be a fearsome existence, comparable to Senior Brother Shaoxuan!

No!

Chen Zhongtian shook his head forcibly.

This is a misconception, an illusion that this fellow has cast on me!

How could I question Senior Brother Shaoxuan's authority just because this guy has a dignified and imposing appearance?

Senior Brother Shaoxuan is unique and unmatched! So what if this fellow's cultivation level is quite strong and has a heavenly aura?

The most important thing in the cultivation world is one's divine destiny. Only if one is blessed by providence and encounters fortuitous opportunities will they be protected by the Heavenly Dao at all times.

Senior Brother Shaoxuan obtained about 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid on a random experiential journey. Can this guy do that?

At that thought, Chen Zhongtian finally calmed himself down. "Senior Brother Shen, I've often heard about your great name."

Shen Tian was still in conflict whether to offend Chen Zhongtian, so he replied out of reflex, "Where did you hear it?"

I was only making a polite remark! WTF do you mean where did I hear it? You're taking advantage of my polite remark!

Chen Zhongtian took a deep breath. "Senior Brother Shen, I mean, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Not for me," Shen Tian could not help but murmur upon seeing Chen Zhongtian's bright yet fake smile.

Frankly speaking, if Chen Zhongtian was only dissing Shen Tian himself, the latter might just laugh it off as Chen Zhongtian also had a pale gold halo. There was no need to have a dispute. The problem was, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground was dissing the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, making things difficult!

The Sacred Leader had called out Shen Tian to face Chen Zhongtian one on one. If he failed to meet up to the Sacred Leader's expectations, what if the Sacred Leader stacked the deck against him?

In the end, Shen Tian could only adjust his mindset. He had to be innovative and deal critical hits with each strike!

However, honestly speaking, it was really not easy to do it.

Just as Shen Tian was deep in thought, a drastic change occurred on White Lotus Mountain once again. A female disciple in white ran out of the secret room, her face full of panic and at a loss.

"Bad news, bad news! Sacred Leader, Martial Uncle, Master, First Senior Brother's Golden Core started to crack once again!"

Like a boulder falling into the lake, that female disciple's words resulted in a raging torrent.

The lightning and heavenly aura surrounding the Sacred Leader slightly fluctuated as he walked into the secret room. The old Taoist priest and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus followed closely behind.

The other true disciples saw that no one stopped them, so they also followed behind tightly.

This drastic change allowed Chen Zhongtian to heave a sigh of relief. He was under huge pressure when facing Shen Tian.

"Senior Brother Fang Chang is in danger? Senior Brother Shen, let's get to know each other later. We should go and see Senior Brother Fang Chang first!"

Shen Tian nodded and walked toward the secret room where Fang Chang was, extremely anxious. He was about to see Fang Chang and did not wish for anything to happen to him. He also did not hope that Fang Chang's Qi Deviation had something to do with him.

Although Shen Tian frequently deceived people to freeload their providence, he was a good person.

Everyone entered the secret room and quickly arrived at the White Lotus Mountain's core healing ground.

The Sacred Leader and others had already entered a special array formation space, which isolated everyone else. The array formation space was transparent, so Shen Tian and the others could see the scenery within—Fang Chang lying on a bed.

He had become much thinner, while his face was white as a sheet and seemed to have been injured heavily. Of course, that was not the main point—the important thing was his halo had changed.

When Shen Tian had first encountered Fang Chang, his halo had been pure gold. However, now, Shen Tian could see that Fang Chang's halo had turned to a mixture of gold and red.

Evidently, Fang Chang's providence was decreasing, the reason obvious. Shen Tian confirmed his speculation—it was because of him!

It seemed that the people from whom Shen Tian stole their fortuitous opportunities would not only face a decrease in providence, but they might even face a calamity!

The Sacred Leader took out the fist-sized Nirvana Holy Liquid within the array formation space. He refined the Nirvana Holy Liquid's drops, which in turn entered Fang Chang's body and restored the cracks.

Facts proved that the Nirvana Holy Liquid was indeed useful to Fang Chang as the hideous cracks on his Golden Core were being healed.

Although that was good news, brutal bad news followed—Fang Chang's injury had worsened, and 500mL of Nirvana Holy Liquid were not sufficient.

After the Nirvana Holy Liquid was completely absorbed, only a few of the cracks on his Golden Core had healed. According to the number of cracks on Fang Chang's Golden Core, this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid was not even enough to save Fang Chang's life.

Boom!

The door of the array formation space opened. Heavenly Venerable White Lotus walked out of it in a hurry, and she stared right at Chen Zhongtian.

"Do you still have any more Nirvana Holy Liquid? I can pay twice the price to buy it and also owe you a favor."

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was a famous expert doctor in the Eastern Wilderness, and her favor was quite valuable.

It was only a pity that Chen Zhongtian really did not have any Nirvana Holy Liquid left—that was a priceless treasure, after all.

He sighed and replied, "Heavenly Venerable, please forgive me. I really don't have any Nirvana Holy Liquid left, so I am unable to help. If time permits, I can rush to the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground and try to ask for more holy liquid."

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus shook her head. "It will be too late. Fang Chang cannot last without the holy liquid."

Chen Zhongtian thought, Looks like Fang Chang is going to die today.

Fang Chang's injury is severe, and his condition in critical danger. Without more than 25L of Nirvana Holy Liquid, it will be impossible for him to recover completely.

L of Nirvana Holy Liquid is so precious that even Senior Brother Shaoxuan will feel the pinch if he were to part with it.

In Chen Zhongtian's mind, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground should start making arrangements for Fang Chang's funeral. There was no need to persevere anymore.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Shen Tian's voice echoed.

"Aunt-Master White Lotus, could you see if what this bottle contains is the Nirvana Holy Liquid?"

As he spoke, a small jade bottle appeared in Shen Tian's hands. It was filled with a silvery-white liquid, full of vitality.

Chen Zhongtian was petrified at the sight of that!

Chapter 172: How Can I Accept This Much Of Junior Brother's Nirvana Holy Liquid?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The rich, fragrant scent permeated the whole room.

Chen Zhongtian could confirm that the bottle contained Nirvana Holy Liquid. Also, it was supreme-grade, a grade higher than the Peony Nirvana Holy Liquid.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's new Saint has also obtained such a huge fortuitous opportunity? How is it possible!?

Chen Zhongtian was questioning himself!

That's right! This fellow only has a small bottle of it. Senior Brother Shaoxuan has 50L of it. Senior Brother is still better!

After forcibly finding an excuse to comfort himself, Chen Zhongtian heaved a sigh of relief at last.

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked at the jade bottle in astonishment.

"Such pure holy liquid. Its quality is much better than that previous bottle. It's just... How much of it do you have?"

"Aunt-Master White Lotus, I assure you that there's definitely enough. I won't disappoint you."

Shen Tian opened the jade bottle, and a ball of silver liquid flowed out, floating in front of everyone. In that instant, an unprecedented rich, fragrant scent intoxicated everyone.

Its mere sight dumbfounded Chen Zhongtian—he even doubted whether he had grown a pair of fake eyes.

The ball of Nirvana Holy Liquid before them was at least 50L in weight. That was to say, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Saint actually possessed 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid. What was more astounding was that its quality surpassed the one in Qi Shaoxuan's possession!

For a moment, Chen Zhongtian started doubting himself. He remembered what the Sacred Leader had stated earlier.

The Sacred Leader had stated that he had not seen what a true fortuitous opportunity was.

Chen Zhongtian had been under the impression that it was just something the Sacred Leader had purposely said in anger. However, now, Chen Zhongtian could only feel extreme embarrassment, and he even wanted the ground to open up and swallow him.

The Sacred Leader had thought nothing of the 500mL of Nirvana Holy Liquid. Who told him to be so smug!?

Using 500mL of Nirvana Holy Liquid to ask for Zhang Yunxi's hand? He was just a joke in the Sacred Leader's eyes!

Chen Zhongtian could only feel his Dao Heart breaking apart.

The worst thing in the world was not others purposely flaunting in front of one. On the contrary, it was the other person simply not caring what the flaunter was doing and only thinking they were clowns from the start till the end.

Currently, these were Chen Zhongtian's thoughts. He was in a rather awkward position.

However, no one was interested in paying attention to him now as everyone was mesmerized by the ball of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

White Lotus' eyes lit up. "So much! Too much!"

Shen Tian stored the Nirvana Holy Liquid back into the bottle. "Use it to save Senior Brother Fang Chang!"

Frankly speaking, Shen Tian had wanted to share the Nirvana Holy Liquid with Fang Chang for a long time now, but he just could not find the chance to do so.

Fang Chang had still been undergoing emergency treatment for a few days now, so Shen Tian could not come into contact with him. Also, Shen Tian did not know that the silvery-white liquid was Nirvana Holy Liquid and could heal Fang Chang's Golden Core.

Since everything was clear now, Shen Tian was naturally willing to return Fang Chang's portion of his fortuitous opportunity. In addition, the holy liquid he had seen in Fang Chang's halo could fill a small pond, while all the holy liquid Shen Tian had obtained could fill a lake. Thus, even if he gave all of Fang Chang's portion back to him, Shen Tian was totally fine with it.

Of course, Shen Tian thought it was fine, but the others did not think that way.

Shen Tian's willingness to give Fang Chang the whole bottle astonished Chen Zhongtian.

The Divine Firmament's Saint is actually willing to give all of this priceless and precious holy liquid to save Fang Chang? He's really too noble, generous, and sublime!

Chen Zhongtian felt ashamed of himself. If it were him that had obtained so much Nirvana Holy Liquid, he would most likely not take it out. The same applied for the Purple Mansion's Saint, Qi Shaoxuan; even if his Junior or Senior Brothers/Sisters needed it, he would most probably not be this generous.

Not mentioning Shen Tian's other virtues, his magnanimity alone was enough to declare him as the winner of this confrontation.

Chen Zhongtian looked at Shen Tian's back blankly. His contest with Shen Tian had not even begun, but Chen Zhongtian knew he had already lost—it was an overwhelming defeat.

White Lotus took a deep look at Shen Tian before she brought that bottle into the array formation.

Chen Zhongtian considered after careful thinking, and then he walked to Shen Tian.

"Senior Brother Shen, I have lost."

What, you lost?

Shen Tian was completely bewildered.

What do you mean you lost? I haven't started flaunting! Why have you already admitted defeat? How can I humiliate you and complete my mission now?

Chen Zhongtian said in reverence, "Senior Brother Shen, I have a question. Could you please provide an answer for me?"

Shen Tian nodded. "Ask away."

Chen Zhongtian asked, "Senior Brother Shen, how could you give that much Nirvana Holy Liquid without hesitation? The Nirvana Holy Liquid can heal Dao injuries, and it could be said to be a priceless treasure. Is it because of your deep brotherhood relationship that you are this generous?"

Shen Tian looked at Chen Zhongtian as if he was looking at a dunderhead.

"The Nirvana Holy Liquid is a medicine. Isn't medicine's purpose to heal injuries and sickness?"

Shen Tian's words resounded within Chen Zhongtian's mind as if it contained some kind of truth. Chen Zhongtian seemed to have understood something and fell into a daze.

At that moment, the secret room's door opened once again, and White Lotus walked out.

She said helplessly, "That foolish Fang Chang said he did not want to owe you such a big favor. He said that the Nirvana Holy Liquid is too precious. He won't be able to return it, and in the future, you might need the Nirvana Holy Liquid too.

"That kid just had to hold out and not use the Nirvana Holy Liquid. We can't force him."

Shen Tian listened to White Lotus, utterly dumbfounded.

This idiot! You're about to die, but why are you still dead-determined to save face!?

Shen Tian looked at the transparent array formation and noticed that Fang Chang had also looked toward the outside. A forced smile was plastered on his pale white face before his mouth started opening and closing as if he was speaking.

Shen Tian tried to read his lips and vaguely understood what he was saying—"The Nirvana Holy Liquid is Junior Brother's fortuitous opportunity. How can you share this much with me?"

The blockhead amused Shen Tian.

Why the f*ck are you not thinking about yourself instead!?

At that thought, Shen Tian took five small jade bottles out of his Archeon Sea Ring and opened them simultaneously. Then, five thick balls of Nirvana Holy Liquid floated around Shen Tian.

The extremely rich vitality filled the whole secret room, making everyone obsessed with it.

Shen Tian looked at the already stupefied Fang Chang and smiled.

"I still have more!"

After finishing, Shen Tian stored the Nirvana Holy Liquid back into the bottles and stuffed another bottle into White Lotus' hands.

"Aunt-Master White Lotus, I have enough Nirvana Holy Liquid. Please, you must save Senior Brother."

White Lotus gulped down her saliva and nodded heavily.

"Don't worry. This time it's difficult even if Fang Chang wants to die!"

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus walked into the secret room with two whole bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

The nerve-racking emergency treatment process started once again, but the atmosphere was tranquil. Everyone was looking at Shen Tian, dumbstruck and in disbelief, especially Chen Zhongtian.

He had already collapsed onto the ground. His eyes, which already betrayed his internal turmoil, turned blank.

"I must be suffering a Qi Deviation after failing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. What did I just see? At least 250L of Nirvana Holy Liquid? No, impossible, how could he have so much?

"Fake, fake, it must be fake!

"Ha, haha, hahaha!

"Mental demon illusion, begone!"

Chapter 173: I Wish The Both Of You Happiness!

Cultivation was not just to increase one's strength but also their mental fortitude. Thus, the importance of cultivating one's mental fortitude went without saying.

Be it Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, or Golden Core, they were all cultivation realms inclined to one's strength. However, after the Nascent Soul stage, the cultivation of one's mental fortitude became even more important—one had to experience the mortal world to train their mind.

If the cultivator firmly believed in their own Dao, they would naturally be able to advance by leaps and bounds in the road of cultivation, improving greatly in a short period. However, if one started to doubt the Dao they had chosen, then mental demons would be easily formed and result in serious injuries.

One's Dao need not be of the Five Elements or Yin Yang. It could be something minor, such as the Dao of musical instruments, painting and calligraphy, or even the Dao of admiration toward powerful beings.

Rumors said that there had been a peerless emperor in the ancient period that had created the Heavenly Courts, unified the five regions, and had endless territory. That emperor had been invincible, and his believers had also advanced triumphantly in the road of cultivation.

In the end, there were even rumors that the emperor had brought all his followers to ascend to the Infinite Immortal Domain and begun a war.

Meanwhile, this legend, which was unknown whether it was true or fake, had also become a classic example of "When a man gets to the top, all his friends and relations get there with him."

Thus, many cultivators in the cultivation world knew their aptitude was limited, so they would not insist on taking the invincible Dao. Instead, they would follow those that were more powerful. As long as they were firm that their choice was correct, they could form their own Dao.

Of course, in theory, Saints and Saintesses would not choose this road as the sacred grounds had their pride.

The Saint/Saintess of any sacred ground was the most powerful genius in the 100 years of the sacred ground, representing its reputation.

They could choose any Dao to compete with other talents in the world, but only the Dao of being a follower was a taboo.

Naturally, since Big Dipper's Saint, Chen Zhongtian, had chosen to follow the Purple Mansion's Saint, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground had lost face. Even if the Purple Mansion's Saint had the Thearch's talents, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground was still unwilling.

As such, numerous people from the Big Dipper had been demanding to replace their current Saint. Nonetheless, Chen Zhongtian was powerful while the genius Qi Shaoxuan's light was too blinding, suppressing the idle chatter.

Even so, Chen Zhongtian was still upset that people were gossiping and speaking behind his back. He had convinced himself repeatedly that Qi Shaoxuan was a rare genius that could only be found once in 10,000 years in the Eastern Wilderness!

Senior Brother Shaoxuan is unique! He will definitely become a Sage in the future!

My choice proves that I, Chen Zhongtian, truly have discerning eyes that can tell greatness from mediocrity!

Only then did he forcibly stabilize his Dao Heart.

By continuing to apotheosize the Purple Mansion's Saint, Chen Zhongtian could continue to follow him without regrets. His belief was very firm, and the fact that Qi Shaoxuan was also generous, sharing lots of his fortuitous opportunities' gains, strengthened it.

Chen Zhongtian's rapid increase in cultivation due to that generosity only made his decision to follow Qi Shaoxuan even more determined.

However, Chen Zhongtian started doubting himself today.

Senior Brother Shaoxuan is the true Son of Providence! He is blessed by the heavens and has the talents of the Thearch.

I came to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground under Senior Brother Shaoxuan's orders, so how could I lose face?

Even Senior Brother Shaoxuan only has 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid, so how is it possible for this Shen Tian to have 250L? Also, the quality of these 250 liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid is even better!

What made Chen Zhongtian break down was that Qi Shaoxuan had only shared 500mL of Nirvana Holy Liquid with him after he had been following him for so many years. Yet, it was different in Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

Fang Chang's Golden Core had cracked after suffering a Qi Deviation, and the Divine Firmament's Saint just directly gave him 50L without hesitation!

He was just too generous!

Chen Zhongtian was green with envy—be it his heart or outer appearance, he was green all over.

In order to breakthrough from the Golden Core to Nascent Soul, one had to break their core and form a new soul. They had to use their soul's power within the Golden Core to form the Nascent Soul of Dao.

The newly-formed Nascent Soul was fragile, which was not only apparent in terms of one's battle strength. At the same time, the cultivator's state of mind that had just entered the Nascent Soul stage would also easily be influenced by their emotions.

Eastern Wilderness did not lack cultivators that suffered Qi Deviations due to doubting their Dao after just breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, normally, Golden Core cultivators that had just entered the Nascent Soul stage would enter seclusion to stabilize their cultivation level.

However, Chen Zhongtian had been in a rush to show off, so he had rushed to the Divine Firmament right after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

In the end, Shen Tian unknowingly showed off in front of him, and thus Chen Zhongtian started to doubt his Dao.

At that moment, his Nascent Soul cultivation level started to be unstable, while his state of mind became abnormal too.

Shen Tian did not have the time to care about Chen Zhongtian right now as he was immersed in the pleasure of his providence increasing.

Ah, this feeling is just too awesome!

This kind of feeling, wherein his whole body was relaxed and as if flying at the peak of clouds, 'forced' him to want to continue enjoying it.

As the silver Nirvana Holy Liquid entered Fang Chang's body, Shen Tian could see that the halo on Fang Chang's head started changing rapidly. The originally faint red and gold halo started to turn pure gold, and it shone even more brightly!

Meanwhile, Shen Tian's dark green halo turned even a deeper shade of green, and even red light was visible now.

That's right—red light!

Shen Tian's halo finally radiated red light!

Currently, Shen Tian felt really relaxed—he was really becoming lucky!

He could now be counted as someone blessed by providence as compared to normal people.

Everyone was silently staring at Fang Chang now.

After a whole bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid was used on Fang Chang, his Golden Core no longer had any cracks. On the contrary, his whole Golden Core had turned extremely smooth. His body also became buff and full of strength under the nourishment of the Nirvana Holy Liquid.

"Ah!" Fang Chang let out a loud roar, and his Golden Core suddenly emitted an eye-piercing bright light.

Immediately after, cracks gradually appeared once again. However, this time, it was not due to failure, but because he was refining his Golden Core.

That's right—after the Nirvana Holy Liquid healed his Dao injury, Fang Chang had profited from the misfortune. He had an enlightenment about the mysterious Dao, and thus, he was breaking through now.

The cracks peeled off and revealed the new Golden Core inside, which shone more radiantly before the ninth Dharmic mark slowly appeared.

Fang Chang was currently breaking through to the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage, and he had already half-succeeded.

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader nodded slightly. He took the jade bottle in Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' hand and crushed it.

The surging Nirvana Holy Liquid instantly flew out in the shape of a silver dragon and shot toward Fang Chang rapidly, wrapping him up. Endless vitality surged within Fang Chang's body, replenishing his consumption.

In that instant, his Golden Core surface's peeling process became even faster, and the Dharmic mark also became clearer.

The old Taoist priest, who was standing at the side, heaved a sigh of relief and secretly took deep breaths.

The scene of the Sacred Leader using the Nirvana Holy Liquid in such a grandiose manner left Chen Zhongtian slack-jawed.

Chen Zhongtian, who had recovered after barely stabilizing his Dao from being at a loss for more than an hour, directly rolled his eyes to the back and fainted when he saw such a scene.

The Sacred Leader took a look at Chen Zhongtian calmly, and the lightning and heavenly aura around him started to fluctuate.

A humongous Qilin avatar formed behind Fang Chang.

In that instant, Fang Chang was surrounded by golden lightning, as if the God of Thunder had descended. He let out a long roar, and eye-blinding radiance exploded from his Golden Core, and the aura his body emitted increased rapidly.

Boom!

The tide of energy exploded before Fang Chang landed on the ground heavily.

"Unfilial disciple, Fang Chang, thanks Master and Aunt-Master for saving me."

Then, Fang Chang looked at Shen Tian, who was outside the secret room. His eyes were filled with tears.

He murmured, "Junior Brother has given me so much of his fortuitous opportunity's gains, but I had wanted to compete with him to determine the winner all along.

"Be it in terms of strength, temperament, or broadness of mind, I have all lost.

"Junior Brother, you're the perfect match for Junior Sister Yunxi.

"I... wish the both of you happiness!"

Chapter 174: The Way to Fleece Sheep Wool

The secret room's door opened, revealing the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader and the rest of the people.

Fang Chang looked at Shen Tian with bright eyes full of gratitude, "Junior Brother, I will not waste much energy on words of gratitude!

"I, Fang Chang, shall remember your help toward me. In the future, Senior Brother will give up my life for you if you ever need it!"

Bodhisattva Kuduo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Chang finally survived the ordeal. In fact, it was a blessing in disguise, and Fang Chang now attained the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage!

He took out the Golden Body Potion from his bosom and pushed it toward Shen Tian. "I originally prepared this bottle of Golden Body Potion for Fang Chang to treat his injuries. But since he has recovered, I shall give it to Senior Brother Shen! Do accept it as a token of appreciation from me."

Bodhisattva Kuduo's action stumped Shen Tian.

What is this monk thinking about? I, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Saint, used my Nirvana Holy Liquid to save a fellow cultivator from my own sect. Why do you, an outsider, come and thank me instead?

What, are you Fang Chang's partner? So... you are thanking me as his family member now???

Shen Tian was thinking hard about how he should reject the gesture when Bodhisattva Kuduo pressed the bottle into his hands.

"Saint, please accept this. The Nirvana Holy Liquid which you gave Fang Chang is much more valuable than this Golden Body Potion. If not for your kind contribution, Fang Chang would not have been able to survive this ordeal. Then I would be really devastated!"

Bodhisattva Kuduo was really serious about what he said. He and Fang Chang were acknowledged as the most simple-minded duo out of the whole Eastern Wilderness cultivator experts stratum. The pair had thus developed a deep friendship over the years and cared for each other even more than those who were real couples!

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus spoke then. "The Golden Body Potion is an extremely sought after treasure for Godfiend cultivators who want to establish a firm foundation. It will provide great help for those who just attained the Transcendence stage and are trying to temper their physique.

"Martial Nephew Shen Tian, if you can use the Golden Body Potion in the tempering process, your physique will definitely be much better refined."

Bodhisattva Kuduo nodded. "Yes, Saint Shen Tian. Please, don't stand on ceremony with me anymore, just keep it."

Seeing that everybody was trying to persuade Shen Tian to keep the Golden Body Potion, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus couldn't help but feel extremely envious. After all, that was the precious Golden Body Potion, which could only be formed when some Buddhist experts exhausted their life's energies. And each time, only a little bit would be formed!

If only he could get this extreme-grade treasure, he could laugh even in his dreams!

Yet this lad is still standing on ceremony with them—well, he can give it to me if he really doesn't want it!

To be honest, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was feeling jealous... again!

"Hmm, since Senior Brother Kuduo is so insistent, then I shall not reject your kind gestures anymore."

Following which, Shen Tian took a bottle of the Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring.

"However, I cannot accept it for free. The Golden Body Potion is indeed useful, so how about I exchange it with the Nirvana Holy Liquid?"

The Sacred Leader nodded his head at that.

"The Golden Body Potion is a great Buddhist treasure, and its value is actually above that of the Nirvana Holy Liquid. Although Bodhisattva Kuduo only gave you one small bottle, this Golden Body Potion is extremely pure, and there are about a few liters of it in that bottle. If you want to exchange it with something of equivalent value, you can give back around 10L of the Nirvana Holy Liquid. That will do."

Shen Tian nodded his head and took out 15L of the Nirvana Holy Liquid from the bottle, placing it into another bottle.

"Senior Brother Kuduo, I am very honored to have met you, so please accept 15L of Nirvana Holy Liquid from me!"

Bodhisattva Kuduo was extremely astounded when he saw Shen Tian passing him the bottle.

Although it was true that the Golden Body Potion he gave Shen Tian equated to roughly 10L of the Nirvana Holy Liquid, one shouldn't just take this calculation at surface value. This was because the Golden Body Potion was most suitable for Godfiend cultivators to temper their bodies, but not for other purposes. This was its greatest limitation.

Meanwhile, although the Nirvana Holy Liquid was not as great as the Golden Body Potion at tempering bodies, it had the powerful effects of healing major Dao injuries, which was much more commonly encountered.

A bottle of the Nirvana Holy Liquid could save lives, and all cultivators could use it.

Bodhisattva Kuduo was almost certain that if he brought back this 15L of Nirvana Holy Liquid to the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground, he would be able to exchange it for at least eight or even 10L of the Golden Body Potion.

This was why Bodhisattva Kuduo was so shocked at how generous Shen Tian was.

"Er... This cannot do. No, I cannot take that much."

Yet Shen Tian wasn't thinking of all that. He was secretly very pleased with himself now!

This was because after Shen Tian took advantage of Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity and helped him regain his cultivation, his providence halo had started to emit red glows.

He thus concluded that it was a great idea to be on good terms with those favored people who had gold providence halos.

Shen Tian had a lot of the Nirvana Holy Liquid he had one pond of it in his Archeon Sea Ring, and he would really prefer to use 'gallon' as the measurement unit for this item.

But the Golden Body Potion would be very useful for Shen Tian, who had attained the Transcendence stage for his Godfiend cultivation.

If he got the Golden Body Potion, there would be a marked improvement in his physique. To Shen Tian, that meant a greater chance of survival as he roamed the world for fortuitous opportunities!

Moreover, Shen Tian had experimented before—the people who shared in fortuitous opportunities would have a better providence.

Since Shen Tian shared the Nirvana Holy Liquid with Bodhisattva Kuduo, the latter's providence should have a marked improvement.

Given such an excellent providence, and considering how Shen Tian had established a good relationship with him now, how could his fill of fortuitous opportunities from Bodhisattva Kuduo ever end?

One shouldn't just fish passively in still waters—they must think of ways to create fortuitous encounters for themselves!

Just like when fleecing sheep wool, one must also feed the sheep that provide the wool!

"Bodhisattva Kuduo, you treat Senior Brother Fang Chang as your brother, and so do I.

"So, doesn't it mean that both of us are also like good brothers?

"Since both of us are brothers, then please don't stand on ceremony for just this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid!"

With that, Shen Tian pressed the bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid firmly into Bodhisattva Kuduo's hands.

"If you find it too much, you can also give it to the rest of the disciples at the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground.

"After all, Sonic Thunder and Divine Firmament have always been on good terms, so it's really acceptable that you take this Nirvana Holy Liquid. Senior Brother Kuduo, please don't reject my gift."

Bodhisattva Kuduo pondered about it for a while and finally kept the bottle.

Shen Tian observed his head intently during this action. Indeed, the golden glows from Bodhisattva Kuduo's providence halo grew even brighter!

At the same time, Shen Tian's eyes brightened up—he felt like he was seeing his "sheep" growing more wool right before his eyes.

Shen Tian had an idea then—he started to divide up the rest of his Nirvana Holy Liquid in the original bottle into small bottles. Each small bottle contained about three or four liters of the Nirvana Holy Liquid, and he gave a bottle each to all those who were present in the secret room.

This group of people included Qin Yundi, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, and Zhao Hao.

When Shen Tian finished this action, he looked around and was glad to see that the whole secret room shone even more brightly with brilliant providence halos.

That was all his sheep growing fatter and "baa-ing" at him, and all of that sounded like bliss!

Meanwhile, the people who got the gift were flattered by Shen Tian's gestures. Even though they rejected him vehemently, they still held tightly onto their bottles—"Oh, how can I accept this, Senior Brother? You shouldn't share so much of your fortuitous opportunity with me!"

In essence, the whole secret chamber was encompassed by harmony and bliss.

At that moment, Jiu'er started trembling in his bosom. "Master, I sensed resentment."

Shen Tian was a bit startled, and when he looked toward the direction Jiu'er pointed out to him, he saw an old Taoist priest staring hard at him.

Correct, that was Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. Shen Tian swore he could see green lights of jealousy emitting from his eyes.

A slight tremor ran down Shen Tian's spine.

Gosh, I almost spelled doom for myself! How could I forget to give gifts to my seniors?

He immediately took three more bottles of the Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring.

In any case, he had about 200 bottles of it, so he did not mind at all to give them away.

Shen Tian gave each of the three bottles to the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader, and the other two Heavenly Venerables.

"Master, Martial Uncle, and Martial Aunt, I have prepared these three bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid for you."

Light ripples appeared on the heavenly aura on the Sacred Leader's body surface as he looked at Shen Tian's sincere expression.

He spoke calmly. "Tian'er is such a thoughtful disciple, and I feel very gratified by your gesture. But you should keep these items for your own use! After all, these are great treasures for healing injuries. Tian'er, you also don't have much of them, so you don't need to give them to me."

Shen Tian smiled when he heard the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader's words.

"Oh, this is just a small token of appreciation from me! Master, please accept it. Don't worry about me. I have more!"

At that, Shen Tian took 10 more bottles out of his Archeon Sea Ring.

All of them gave off the same rich fragrance and glowed with silver radiance.

At once, the whole secret room went still.

Everyone looked at the smiley Shen Tian, who looked ever more humble and innocent.

They had a burning question in their minds—Really, how much more of this Nirvana Holy Liquid do you own? Is there an end to it?

The Sacred Leader looked smugly at Azure Lotus, and there were slight tremors on his body surface's heavenly aura.

He really wanted to interview his Senior Brother how he felt then!

At that moment, in a certain corner of the secret room...

Chen Zhongtian stirred and regained consciousness.

Unfortunately, he witnessed what passed. The next moment, his body convulsed, and he dropped dead on the ground again.

Hallucination, this must be a hallucination!

What Nirvana Holy Liquid, all this is fake!

My idol, the Purple Mansion's Saint, has powers rivaling even that of the Heavenly Thearch. He can subdue all demons in the world.

How dare the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground delude me. Just wait till I light up my Holy Fire! I will rule the whole of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and make you all kneel in front of me!

Ha, haha, hahaha, hahahahaha!

Those who recite the name of Senior Brother Shaoxuan shall see eternity in reincarnation!

I have seen my path to Immortality in this façade, I am about to become an Immortal now!

Yes!

Chapter 175: Just One-Millionth Bit, One-Millionth Bit

No one really cared about Chen Zhongtian fainting because he wasn't being attacked by anyone at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

It was clear that no one could be faulted for this incident.

At this moment, everyone was reveling in happiness at receiving the Nirvana Holy Liquid gift. Shen Tian definitely scored more brownie points in their hearts, especially for Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, Zhen Zhijia, and their company. They were all the more devoted to Shen Tian now.

After all, they were initially mere ordinary cultivators staying within the Myriad Spirit Garden at the Country of Fire. The person with the most prestigious status amongst them would be Song Fugui, who was the descendant from the sideline of a minor cultivator family. But no one would have expected much of them.

If everything went according to normal tracks, all these people would have no chances of achieving the Golden Core stage, needless to say, have a glimpse of any more advanced stages.

But because they believed in Master Celestial, they had managed to obtain the Divine Lightning Origin from the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant and hence had gotten the chance to progress for their cultivation.

At the same time, they had even gotten to become the inner-sect disciples of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and earned the chance to cultivate the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.

If no mishaps happened in the future, all of them could become Golden Core Perfected Ones should they put in efforts for their cultivation!

And now, Shen Tian even gave them so much Nirvana Holy Liquid.

With this Nirvana Holy Liquid, they could build a better Dharmic foundation for themselves.

This meant that it might even be possible for them to become Supremacies with Nascent Souls!

And all this was due to Senior Brother Shen Tian.

To them, it seemed like the Heavenly Dao had started favoring them once they earned Senior Brother Shen Tian's trust and blessings!

They now recalled how Zhang Yunxi had chided them before—"Can sucking up to Shen Tian really help you achieve Immortal Ascension?"

And they would dearly like to reply to her now, "Yes, it can!"

Meanwhile, after Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus accepted the Nirvana Holy Liquid, the black halo on his head paled a lot.

As he weighed the jade bottle in his palms, the way he looked at Shen Tian changed to one of fondness.

Such a thoughtful and cute lad. Shen Tian is so much better than his Master!

He looked at Shen Tian and smiled amiably. "Tian'er, you indeed hold up to our aspirations.

"With you around, how will anyone doubt that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will not rise to great heights?

"By the way, Tian'er, we have a lot of Elders. You cannot forget them when and favor us more!

"Why don't you give me more of the liquid now? I will pass it to them on your behalf. I will put in good words for you too.

"Everyone knows me to be a trustable person. No Elders shall accuse you of being unfair then!"

The Sacred Leader spoke slowly. "Senior Brother... Please, restrain yourself. Bodhisattva Kuduo is still here."

Lightning crackled softly on the Sacred Leader's body surface as he continued, "Tian'er, keep the rest of the Nirvana Holy Liquid for yourself. This item is great for healing injuries, and you can use it to make many useful medicines. It will enhance the medicines' effects."

Following which, the Sacred Leader handed his bottle to Heavenly Venerable White Lotus.

"Junior Sister White Lotus is an expert at making medicines. I believe she will be able to put this Nirvana Holy Liquid to great use.

"And I agree that we cannot forget about the other Elders in our sect. So, Junior Sister White Lotus, I will have to trouble you to use this 100L of Nirvana Holy Liquid here to make Nirvana Pills and distribute it to the rest of the Elders.

"These pills will be of great help to all the Elders. At this same time, it will show Tian'er's filial piety toward them."

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked at the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader the way one would look at their idols, and there were bright sparks in her eyes.

She spoke resolutely. "Since Senior Brother took the lead, I shall use my bottle of the Nirvana Holy Liquid to make the pills too! 200L of the Nirvana Holy Liquid will definitely be enough to make pills for all the Elders."

At that, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus turned and smiled innocently at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.

All at once, the old Taoist priest's face darkened. He felt that he was being led into a trap by both of his juniors.

What are you guys implying here? Shen Tian took out three bottles, and he gave one to each of us.

But now both of you announced that you would 'take the lead' to donate yours to make pills? Isn't it like hinting to me to do so too?

But then, only you guys will know how you are going to distribute the pills!

Urgh, the two of you are so unscrupulous!

After being your Senior Brother for near to thousands of years, you two are actually trying to trick me! Don't you all have consciences?

Fancy choosing to say all that in front of the younger generation! Aren't you trying to embarrass me and coerce me into giving up my Nirvana Holy Liquid bottle?

Haha, you are belittling me! When have I ever cared about others' opinions of me!

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus looked down silently at his hands and pretended that he heard nothing.

Surprisingly, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's words did indeed remind Shen Tian of something.

Oh yeah, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has so many Elders and experts. All these chaps' providences must be quite good, and they are my potential "sheep"!

Well, it actually makes no difference whether I feed one or the whole herd of "sheep".

I should use this opportunity to establish a good relationship with them now so that I can share in their future fortuitous opportunities!

With that in mind, Shen Tian started fishing 10 bottles of the Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring.

"Oh dear, I am indeed careless to have forgotten the other Elders. Master, I hope you will forgive me for this. I will contribute all 10 bottles of the Nirvana Holy Liquid here to the sacred ground! Master, please help me distribute them to the Elders."

When Shen Tian finished his words, he saw everybody staring at him as if he was a monster.

The heavenly aura on the Sacred Leader's body surface started vibrating vigorously again. "Tian'er, are you telling me that you still have more of the Nirvana Holy Liquid?"

Shen Tian scratched his head and replied innocently, "Umm, well, just a little, a little bit."

The Sacred Leader shook his head then. "If you just have a little bit left, then keep it for yourself."

Shen Tian replied, "Master, I think you got me wrong there. What I mean is..."

Looking at Chen Zhongtian, who was regaining consciousness again, compassion flashed past Shen Tian's eyes. He sighed and continued. "What I mean is, all the Nirvana Holy Liquid that I took out previously is just a little bit of what I have."

With that, Shen Tian's Archeon Sea Ring shimmered, and 30 bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid flew out.

The deep fragrance emitting from the bottles condensed into a thick mist, and celestial beings' shadows were being vaguely seen.

It was inherent that all these bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid were as authentic as they could get!

Spat!

The Big Dipper's Saint puked out a mouthful of blood. His whole body seemed to shrink in size as he leaned forward on the ground, and he looked very weak.

The Sacred Leader announced calmly, "Please, get someone to send the Big Dipper's Saint back to the Big Dipper Sacred Ground.

"Remember to send him back while he is still alive and take note not to bump him into anything along the way. Or else we may be blamed for his injuries."

After which, the Sacred Leader turned to Bodhisattva Kuduo and commented, "Bodhisattva, since you are here today, if the Big Dipper Sacred Ground sends anyone to reason with us about what happened, pray be our witness and help us clear our name."

Bodhisattva Kuduo looked at the Nirvana Holy Liquid in his hands.

He then nodded resolutely, "No monk lies. I will be the witness that the Big Dipper's Saint suffered a Qi Deviation, and his Nascent Soul was being shattered due to his own doings. It has nothing to do with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground."

The Sacred Leader nodded his head in satisfaction. "Bodhisattva, you are a kind and just man."

With that, he turned back to Shen Tian.

To be honest, he felt rather complicated as he looked at his disciple now.

Although the Sacred Leader believed firmly that Shen Tian was the Son of Providence, he did not expect that Shen Tian would be that absurd to have collected so much Nirvana Holy Liquid.

When normal plant demons faced tribulation transcendence and went into Nirvana, they could at most form Nirvana Holy Liquid the volume of one or two storage spaces.

Until now, Shen Tian had already taken out Nirvana Holy Liquid, the volume of almost one storage space, and the liquid's quality was superb.

While I do have trust that Tian'er will bring the sacred ground to great heights in the future, his providence is too simply amazing!

All this seems like a dream, and we really are progressing too fast!

Oh no, I can't contain myself anymore—

Hahahahaha!

The heavenly aura on the Sacred Leader's body surface vibrated vigorously, but he still spoke in his usual calm manner, "Tian'er is really so thoughtful. I am very pleased with your attitude.

"However, the sacred ground has its own dignity. We cannot take advantage of you.

"How about this! For these 10 Nirvana Holy Liquid bottles, I shall keep them for you at the sacred ground.

"Should any Elders require them in the future, they can exchange them with their own treasures.

"And all the items that were collected will be given to you.

"As for the three bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid that each of us has now, we will not take them for free either.

"Let us discuss, and we will give you treasures equivalent to the Nirvana Holy Liquid's value."

When the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader finished, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and all the other disciples at the scene had nothing but respect written all over their faces.

How great it was that they had a leader who could resist the temptation of so much free Nirvana Holy Liquid!? They were pretty sure that such leaders did not exist in the world anymore.

He was fair and just and really treated disciples as his own children—it was no wonder that the sacred ground could become stronger and stronger under his guidance!

But of course, not everyone was impressed with the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader's actions.

For instance, a certain old Taoist priest felt like he could explode in pain when he heard his Junior Brother's words.

To be very honest, he felt like he was being targeted again.

This Second Junior Brother of his was truly cunning!

Wouldn't it be nice to just take the Nirvana Holy Liquid for free?

While Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shot several dagger-like looks at his Junior Brother, Bodhisattva Kuduo's expression suddenly changed.

The Bodhi beads on his neck shone, and a Buddha's shadow was seen vaguely.

Majestic and serious, this Buddha's shadow emitted countless rays of Buddhist lights, and merits circled this figure!

It was as if a real Buddha had descended on earth, and everyone had only respect for him!

This person was none other than Sonic Thunder's Buddhist Lord!

Chapter 176: Even the Buddhist Lord Is Envious

One had to say, the Sonic Thunder's Buddhist Lord did make quite an impressive appearance.

The illumination of his Buddhahood rank enveloped him, and a Dharmachakra[1] of cultivation merit was behind him, forming the reflection of the Buddha's land.

The sounds of reciting Buddhist scriptures could be heard as the humongous Bodhi Tree avatar, which could even cover the sky, radiating in all directions.

Eight golden holy dragons were enveloping the Bodhi Tree; each was over 300 meters in length and looked exceptionally powerful.

According to rumors, the current Buddhist Lord had already successfully cultivated the true body of the Buddha. He was a living Buddha, one of the most powerful beings in the Eastern Wilderness.

The Buddhist Lord was best in the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra, being proficient in all kinds of Buddhism principles and philosophy. He frequently visited other sacred grounds to discuss sutras and Dao with the Sacred Leaders, but it was rare for him to face defeat.

The Sonic Thunder's Buddhist Lord was one of the two Sages with great wisdom in the Eastern Wilderness' 12 sacred grounds. As for the other individual with great wisdom... it was none other than Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader.

Because of that, the Buddhist Lord had paid much attention to the next Bodhisattva.

The Buddhist Lord admired Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Zhang Yunting. He believed Zhang Yunting's father had influenced his wisdom and ability to cope with all matters with schemes and strategies.

The Buddhist Lord had always hoped for his disciple to be able to win against the successor of the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader when discussing about the Dao.

It was a pity that Bodhisattva Kuduo, who was of the same generation as Zhang Yunting, was completely a dunce—a barbaric monk without any wisdom at all.

The Buddhist Lord hoped that Bodhisattva Kuduo would be able to use Buddhism principles to win against the Dao of the Sacred Leader's successor...

Well, it was basically impossible to achieve it, so the Buddhist Lord had also given up. Since Bodhisattva Kuduo was unable to surpass Zhang Yunting, then he should learn more from Zhang Yunting!

Thus, the Buddhist Lord had sent Bodhisattva Kuduo to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to become friends with Zhang Yunting.

In the end, Bodhisattva Kuduo had not gotten close with Zhang Yunting. Instead, he had associated with Fang Chang. Also, the more these two blockheads interacted, the more simple-minded they became. In turn, that led them to be more daring, and they caused trouble everywhere non-stop.

Bodhisattva Kuduo had not learned the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra, which could impress and brainwash people. On the contrary, he just spent his time outside to slay demons and fiends.

One had to know that even demons and fiends had intelligence. Buddha was compassionate, so they should be given a chance to repent and become a good person.

You just go slaughtering demons and fiends every day and pull hatred for our Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground. What if those demons and fiends seek revenge?

Isn't it much better to bring the demons and fiends back to our sacred ground, to preach to them, and increase the sacred ground's strength?

The Buddhist Lord had wanted to tell these to Kuduo long ago but unfortunately could not do so. That was because, according to the traditions of Buddhism, such matters were irrelevant to the Buddhist scriptures.

It was something all mighty figures would need to comprehend on their own. These were the unspoken rules, so the elders were unable to intervene. They could only hint their disciples continuously for them to comprehend on their own.

Bodhisattva Kuduo, being a blockhead, could not understand the unspoken rules no matter what, which enraged the Buddhist Lord.

If it were not for Bodhisattva Kuduo holding a special, irreplaceable position in their Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground, he would have already accepted another disciple, not bothering with a fellow without the root of wisdom.

Buddha sounds echoed from the avatar that the Buddhist Lord had manifested; it contained great wisdom.

The Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura shone brightly, and the sound of Dao could be vaguely heard within the heavens and earth, dispersing the Buddhist Lord's sounds.

He looked at the Buddhist Lord and spoke calmly. "Brother Tianxiu, your understanding of Buddhism has deepened increasingly."

The Buddhist Lord revealed a knowing smile. "Thank you. My body's like a Bodhi tree. My heart seems a mirror to be. I'd always keep them fit and clean, not to let dust onto them creep.

"I am no genius. I have yet to grasp the most profound knowledge of the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra, so I dare not slack off for a moment."

Upon hearing the Buddhist Lord's answers, Azure Lotus' and Whit Lotus' facial expressions became serious.

Everyone knew that the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra was a supreme heritage. If one mastered the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra, then one could comprehend 3,000 sutras thoroughly in a day, directly becoming a Buddha.

One would truly become a Buddha, physically and mentally, free of earthly worries.

In the passage of 10,000 years, none of the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's Buddhist Lords could reach that realm. Thus, the difficulty of achieving that realm was self-evident.

However, the Buddha sounds accompanying the Buddhist Lord proved that he was not far from that supreme realm, just a step away.

If this step could be achieved, Buddhist Lord Tianxiu would most probably oppress the entire Eastern Wilderness' Dao cultivation system. Thus, Buddhism would outshine Daoism.

Naturally, such a situation was definitely not what the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground or any other Dao sacred grounds were willing to see, as their core teachings were different.

Just a branched-out Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground of the West Desert Buddhism Sect was able to oppress the sacred grounds in Eastern Wilderness? The Dao sacred grounds would lose all their reputation and face!

White Lotus Mountain's atmosphere froze as the two sacred grounds were secretly competing.

The Buddhist Lord did not regard himself as an outsider, so he smiled and said, "So how's Martial Nephew's injury?"

Before the Sacred Leader could answer, Fang Chang and Bodhisattva Kuduo walked toward them with large strides, their arms over each others' shoulders.

He grinned from ear to ear and bowed to the Buddhist Lord. "Thank you for your concern, Buddhist Lord. I have completely recovered."

The Buddhist Lord looked at Bodhisattva Kuduo, who had his arm over Fang Chang's shoulders, and his eyes shone. "You've recovered?"

It shouldn't be!

Bodhisattva Kuduo had begged the Buddhist Lord previously for the Golden Body Potion full of tears. He had even promised to the Buddhist Lord that he would read sutras properly in the future.

Although the Buddhist Lord did not believe Kuduo, he still gave him the Golden Body Potion because he knew it could not heal the Dao injury nor mend the cracked Golden Core.

Since Fang Chang could not survive for long, the Buddhist Lord did not mind being a good person and lending a helping hand.

What happened just now? Why is Kuduo with Fang Chang again? How did he recover?

Bodhisattva Kuduo seemed to want to show off to his master, so he took out his Nirvana Holy Liquid bottle.

He smiled and said, "That's right. It was because the Divine Firmament's Saint, Senior Brother Shen Tian, had a few thousand liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid. He shared 100L to save Fang Chang and even helped Fang Chang to reach the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage."

A few thousand liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid? In that instant, the Buddhist Lord was astounded.

Isn't the Nirvana Holy Liquid a supreme-grade healing treasure that even 250mL is difficult to obtain? So how could this unknown new Saint take out a few thousand liters?

The Buddhist Lord looked at the Sacred Leader. He was still holding his Golden Brahma Kamal Flower in his hand, but he could no longer smile.

"Dao Brother Longyuan, when did your sacred ground obtain a new Saint? Why have I not heard of him?"

The heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader started fluctuating. "Tian'er is my new disciple. His Saint coronation ceremony is going to be held one year later. The invitations will be sent out as soon as possible."

In the cultivation world, the mighty figures would enter seclusion for half to a year, or even tens, or up to 100 years. Thus, as long as there were important ceremonies, preparations had to be done at least a year before. The preparation for the Saint's coronation ceremony might start 100 years beforehand!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was one of the 12 sacred grounds, so the Saint's coronation ceremony had to be extravagant enough to keep the sacred ground's reputation.

The Buddhist Lord seemed to be deep in thought. He looked at Shen Tian, who was trying to keep a low profile, and his eyes lit up.

Such an incredibly handsome man! He is really suitable to promote Buddhism!

If he could enter our sect, he would be invincible in increasing the number of believers!

He wouldn't even need to cultivate the "Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra". He just needs to be handsome enough.

When he meets those female patrons, he just needs to smile and say, "Amitabha, you are fated with the Buddha."

Then in the whole Eastern Wilderness, the increase in the amount of loyal Buddhist believers would be tremendous. The whole sacred ground would thus become prosperous!

At that thought, the Buddhist Lord took a look at his dumb disciple, who had his arms around Fang Chang's shoulder, and vice versa. This disciple only knew how to laugh foolishly.

The comparison rendered the Buddhist Lord speechless, and he went green with envy!

[1] The Dharma Wheel, Dharmachakra, or Wheel of Dharma, is one of Buddhism's many sacred teachings. It is one of the most important and sacred symbols in the Buddhist faith as it represents Buddha's teachings.

Chapter 177: Bodhi Buddhist Scripture

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sonic Thunder's Buddhist Lord looked at Shen Tian, and then at Bodhisattva Kuduo. He became even more envious the more he compared them. The more he thought about it, the greener his complexion turned.

To think that such a handsome youngster is not a monk!

Frankly speaking, if the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was not one of the 12 sacred grounds, he would have already forced Shen Tian to join his sect.

Of course, although the Buddhist Lord was very envious, he maintained his majestic and dignified image as if he was a true Buddha!

He calmly looked at Bodhisattva Kuduo. "Kuduo, since Martial Nephew Fang Chang has already recovered, come back!"

Bodhisattva Kuduo pulled a long face. "Master, I have not seen Fang Chang in a long time. Can we stay in Divine Firmament for a few days and return later?"

The Buddhist Lord gave a knowing, compassionate smile. "You still have Buddhist sutras that you have yet to finish copying.

"Kuduo, you need to know:

'One's body is like a Bodhi tree; one's heart seems a mirror to be.

Always keep them fit and clean, not to let dust onto them creep.'

"You are the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's Bodhisattva. You have the responsibility of promoting Buddhism, and all the more, train oneself. You cannot slack off!

"As for reminiscing, you have ample time ahead. No need to hurry."

Kuduo's expression turned even gloomier upon listening to the Buddhist Lord's nagging lecture.

"Yes, I understand!"

He turned and looked at Fang Chang with great reluctance. "Fang Chang, see you next time then."

The Buddhist light covering the Buddhist Lord's body fluctuated slightly. He could not stand seeing this charade, and his figure gradually disappeared. He did not want to continue looking at them.

All good disciples belong to others... What a terrible feeling.

The rosary beads' light gradually dispersed, and the Buddhist Lord's figure and avatar slowly disappeared.

Only the Buddhist Lord's voice could be vaguely heard.

"Dao Brother Longyuan, I see that your Saint's root of wisdom is quite deep. If he's interested, he can come to the Bodhi tree of our sect for enlightenment. He might have some gains."

The moment the Buddhist Lord finished his sentence, everyone took in a sharp breath. That's because the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's Bodhi tree was extraordinary.

It was a supreme tree that had been transplanted from the depths of the West Desert Buddhism Sect. It was said that the Bodhi tree had supernatural powers and was among the Spiritual Wood List's top 10.

If one sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree, then they would receive enlightenment at a much faster rate. It could also enhance one's speed of cultivating any cultivation technique.

According to legends, a Buddhist Lord of the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground had stayed underneath the tree for seven days and nights, trying to attain an epiphany. In the end, he completely understood the Great Sonic Thunder Sutra and became a Buddha!

That was the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's most glorious period!

From then on, the Bodhi tree became the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's supreme treasure, and it was extremely respected.

Normally, only the Buddhist Lord and Bodhisattva would have the qualifications to try attaining enlightenment.

Who knew that today—the first time the Buddhist Lord encountered Shen Tian—would make such a temptatious offer!?

His admiration for Shen Tian was self-evident.

The heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader fluctuated slightly. He was evidently unhappy.

Tianxiu, ah, Tianxiu... You're trying to poach Shen Tian right in front of me?

Hehe, do you have a daughter?

Bodhisattva Kuduo was reluctant to leave, but he still bade his farewell since he would only need to copy the Buddhist sutras 1,000 times if he returned to the Sacred Ground in time.

If Sonic Thunder's Law Enforcement Monks were to bring him back, his punishment would most probably be increased to 10,000 times.

After saying goodbye to Fang Chang, he approached Shen Tian. "Saint Shen Tian, the amount of Nirvana Holy Liquid you've given is too much. I will share it with my juniors and seniors in Sonic Thunder, according to what you said.

"Also, I will tell them to chant sutras and pray for your well-being. Of course, I don't like chanting sutras, so I won't do it."

Shen Tian could not help but want to laugh with this blockhead before him.

Poor thing... He has to go back and do his homework so soon after coming in search of his friend to play with.

Shen Tian pulled Bodhisattva Kuduo to the side.

"Senior Brother Kuduo, I'll gift you a Buddhist scripture. Recite it to your Buddhist Lord. After listening to it, he might not punish you anymore."

Kuduo's eyes lit up. "Really? Saint Tian, please do not deceive me."

Shen Tian said, "Well, I'm not sure if it will definitely work."

Kuduo replied happily, "I'll just try it! I have nothing to lose, anyway."

Shen Tian nodded and whispered, "But you have to guarantee that you won't say I told you this."

Kuduo seemed to be in a difficult position. "What if Master asks me? As a monk, I cannot lie."

Shen Tian felt helpless and said, "Forget it then. Senior Brother, you can return and copy the sutras."

Kuduo instantly expressed his determination. "A monk should not stick to trifles! Saint Tian, I'll just say that I dreamed about it, how about that?"

Shen Tian smiled, feeling relieved.

Looks like he's not that dumb!

He activated his divine consciousness and transmitted a message to Bodhisattva Kuduo. He did not dare recite it out loud.

Who knew what the Buddhist Lord's reaction would be after listening to this Buddhist scripture? It was fine if it could enlighten him. Then, the Buddhist Lord's cultivation level would increase, and he would consequently commend Bodhisattva Kuduo. Thus, Shen Tian would then have formed a good relationship with Kuduo.

However, what if the Buddhist Lord felt that it was heresy? Shen Tian was not going to take the blame.

Anyway, I've given you the Buddhist scripture. Once you leave this sacred ground, it will have nothing to do with me anymore. Be it secretly saving it for yourself or sharing it with your Buddhist Lord, it is your choice.

Within the message Shen Tian had transmitted to Bodhisattva Kuduo, he first started with the declaration of passing the buck to Bodhisattva Kuduo. Only after accepting the hundreds of words of declaration of whose responsibility it was could Bodhisattva Kuduo see the Buddhist scripture.

After he finished reading the long declaration, he was completely overwhelmed. The good thing was he had finally reached the Buddhist scripture's part.

'Bodhi Buddhist Scripture'

Bodhi originally has no tree,

The mirror has no stand.

Buddha nature is always clean and pure;

Where is there room for dust?

The mind is the Bodhi tree,

The body is the mirror stand.

The mirror is originally clean and pure;

Where can it be stained by dust?

Bodhi originally has no tree.

The bright mirror also has no stand.

Fundamentally there is not a single thing.

Where could dust arise?

Search out Bodhi only in the mind.

Why toil outside in search of the profound?

Just as you hear these words, so practice;

Heaven then appears, right before your eyes1.

Sssss!

Wonderful! This Buddhist scripture is just excellent! Too ingenious! Extraordinary!

After reading that Buddhist scripture, Kuduo felt that his mind had been baptized.

He had also read many Buddhist sutras and scriptures in the past, but he felt they were all chaotic and very awkward-sounding. Not to mention understanding the meaning, even when reading a scripture, he would become tongue-tied.

However, this Buddhist scripture that Shen Tian gave him was completely different.

Although Kuduo could not understand it at all, he could read it smoothly!

It also rhymed1!

Yeap, such a good Buddhist scripture, I must inform Master.

At that thought, Kuduo hurriedly bade everyone farewell. He had to hurry and return to Sonic Thunder and give this scripture to the Buddhist Lord.

Bodhisattva Kuduo was full of anticipation while waiting for his wish not to need to copy Buddhist sutras in the future anymore to come true.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian looked in the direction Bodhisattva Kuduo left and secretly wished him good luck.

Fortune favors fools, and this blockhead's halo is very bright. Thus, he should be fine after giving him the Buddhist scripture since even a monster would not hurt its own offspring. Not to mention he is the Bodhisattva!

After Kuduo left, there were no longer any outsiders in White Lotus Mountain.

The Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian with relief, and his heavenly aura gently rippled.

He said calmly, "Tian'er, follow me to the Sacred Leader Mountain. I want to entrust you something important."

Entrust something important to me? What's something important? Your daughter's marriage?

Eh!? Why would I think in that way!?

It's very tragic if the woman is strong, but the man is weak in a relationship!

Chapter 178: I'm Really Not Son The Son of Providence

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader used his mystic art and made a portal out of thin air.

Shen Tian followed behind him, and both of them disappeared from White Lotus Mountain.

When Shen Tian opened his eyes, they were at the Sacred Leader Palace on Sacred Leader Mountain.

The Sacred Leader sat on the throne and looked at Shen Tian, his heavenly aura on the surface flickering.

Shen Tian had done great today, and even though the Sacred Leader had severed his emotions, he still felt very proud of him.

He felt especially good when he saw how Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus reacted.

He's the one who doubted my choice of person in the first place! Now he has missed the chance to have the Heavenly Dao's Son as his disciple. He must be so regretful!

Cough, cough... That's not important. I still have important stuff now.

He forced his heavenly aura to calm down and said, "I'm very pleased.

"Tian'er, not only do you have great providence, but you also have the heart to share it with others.

"I was right all this while. You are the most suitable candidate for being the Saint."

Shen Tian scratched his head and could not understand what the Sacred Leader was trying to say.

What do you mean by that?

I'm the Saint because your daughter brought me here by force, remember? Unlike others who became your disciples and then the Saint, I'm the opposite!

I became the Saint first before you took me in as your disciple. How did it become you chose me to be the Saint?

Also, why would Master think I'm blessed by providence? I was the most unlucky guy ever just a few weeks ago!

Even now, my halo is just a green one with red spots. That's far from the Son of Providence!

Shen Tian explained, "All thanks to Master's teaching."

The Sacred Leader was happier after hearing the response.

A handsome young man that is not arrogant! He is the perfect facade for the sacred ground. Lord Tianxiu, you must be so jealous now!

The Sacred Leader nodded in response. "Tian'er, you have brought us the Nirvana Holy Liquid and saved Fang Chang. Those are great contributions to the sacred ground. I'm a very fair person. What do you want as a reward? You can say it out with no hesitation."

Shen Tian's eyes lit up. Master is rewarding me? How can I just take it!

He thought for a moment and said, "Master, can I have some Immortal Metal? If Immortal Metal is not available, I'm fine with Mystic Earth too. I'm not very picky."

The lightning and heavenly aura surrounding the Sacred Leader started to flicker again. The bold request made him feel very helpless. All the items on the extraordinary list were very precious. These were treasures that cultivators could only obtain by luck.

Although the Nirvana Holy Liquid was precious, too, it was merely a consumable item. There was no comparison with extraordinary items.

Of course, if the Sacred Leader had the Immortal Metal or Mystic Earth, he would be more than willing to give them to Shen Tian.

However, he did not have any of them.

The truth was that when the sacred ground obtained these extraordinary items, the items would be used by the talented geniuses straight away.

Although a Grand Elder had some Mystic Earth with him, there was no way for the Sacred Leader to go against his own family for that treasure!

The Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian, feeling very helpless. He knew that these were the items Shen Tian needed to complete the set of Five Elements extraordinary items.

As his master, he felt very embarrassed for not being able to help his disciple.

Why isn't it fire that Tian'er needs...

If he needs fire, I can just trick Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus for it! I just need some Azure Green Sky Flame Origin to solve the issue!

The Sacred Leader calmed himself down and coughed. "Erm, I'll give them to you once they are available."

Shen Tian had a high EQ—'once they are available' meant that his master did not have them for now.

Shen Tian decided not to give his master a hard time and said, "I shall thank Master in advance!"

The Sacred Leader felt his cheeks were burning with embarrassment, "Is there anything you want? I'll provide whatever I can!"

Indeed, there was nothing the Sacred Leader was reluctant to give Shen Tian after believing he was the Heavenly Dao's Son.

He was even prepared to marry his daughter to him and hand him the sacred ground. An extraordinary item was really nothing compared to that!

However, as the sacred ground's Sacred Leader, he felt bad for not being able to give merit to his disciple!

Shen Tian thought for a moment and felt that his self-protection methods were not strong enough—he needed some upgrade.

Thus, he took out his Sword Master Token and showed it to the Sacred Leader.

"Master, this is the Sword Master Token made by Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan. It is really useful. May I know if there's anything similar to this in our sacred ground? I don't mind paying for it."

The Sacred Leader took a look at it and said calmly, "Although this Sword Master Token is well crafted, the attack it unleashes is too weak. I can seal three moves into your Saint Token, but each move can only be utilized once. Using external help too often is not good for you anyway."

Shen Tian was very happy to hear that. "Thank you, Master! How strong are these three attacks?"

"No one below the Saint realm can survive these."

Wow, that sounds good! That's so strong! I like it!

Although it cannot be used repeatedly, like the Sword Master Token, it's much more useful!

The Sword Master Token was literally useless when the opponents were too strong. But the three moves sealed in the Saint Token were like a nuclear weapon! Even Soul Formation cultivators were no match for it!

Seems like I made a wise choice coming to the sacred ground!

The Saint's Token flew out of Shen Tian's pocket and landed on the Sacred Leader's hand. The lightning and heavenly aura around him became a golden light and dived into the token.

As more of this golden light gushed into the Saint Token, three emblems appeared on it. There was a mysterious feeling about the emblems, and they looked extremely powerful.

The light slowly dimmed, and the token flew back to Shen Tian's hand. It felt slightly heavier.

The lightning and heavenly aura seemed much thinner. Obviously, the Sacred Leader had spent great effort to help Shen Tian.

Shen Tian quickly took a Nirvana Holy Liquid bottle out of his Archeon Sea Ring and said, "Master has used so much power just to help me, I feel bad. I hope you can have this Nirvana Holy Liquid to replenish your strength. I cannot have a peaceful sleep if Master refuses."

The Sacred Leader felt slightly touched and said, "Don't be silly. There is no need for that. You have given enough holy liquid to the sacred ground. Keep this for yourself!

"Actually, I have an important thing I need to discuss with you today."

Shen Tian had just gotten the reward from his master, so he replied without hesitation, "Master, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

The Sacred Leader said calmly, "After ten days, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Jade Lake Sacred Ground will be having a joint training.

"The location of the joint training is the Primordial Battlefield near the Country of Fire. All the cultivators participating will be below the Golden Core stage. Thus, Fang Chang, Yunting, and Yunxi cannot participate.

"Tian'er, I hope you can lead the disciples and perform well in the joint training. It doesn't matter to me how many fortuitous opportunities you guys manage to encounter. All I care about is the disciples' safety."

The Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian and said solemnly, "I'll leave those disciples in your hands."

Shen Tian felt that he had been tricked into this troublesome situation.

Primordial Battlefield? The one created by the evil cultivators from outside the country?

It was said that even Perfected Immortals had been involved in the battle.

After the intense battle, the Primordial Battlefield was formed.

Many bold cultivators would enter the battlefield and tried to find fortuitous opportunities for themselves.

In the end, no one ever returned. All of them became nutrients for that area.

Shen Tian felt that something would go terribly wrong if he led the disciples there.

My halo is just a green one with red spots. It's not safe at all!

Also, can't the joint training be at a safer place?

I think the Mirror Moon Lake near the sacred ground is good!

Why don't we go there instead?

Can we not go to that dreadful place?

Honestly, after encountering the Fog Plain incident, Shen Tian had decided to be extra cautious.

He only had one life, and he could not afford to risk it like the cultivators with great providence. If he tried to mimic them, he would simply just lose his life!

Thus, Shen Tian really wanted to tell the truth to his master.

Master, I can't! I'm really not the Son of Providence!

Chapter 179: Copying Buddhist Scriptures 10,000 times

At Eastern Wilderness' Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground, Little Spirit Mountain Boundary...

Buddhist light shone radiantly at the paradise the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground had created.

At the spatial door, which was the sacred ground's entrance, was a Seven Treasure Glazed Buddha Mirror. This mirror was inlaid with Purple Gold, Snow Silver, Azure Stone, Water Essence, Giant Clam, Coral, and Agate.

These were Sonic Thunder's seven treasures. They were all supreme-grade as compared to other precious treasures of the same type, and they were enhanced by Sonic Thunder's Holy Monks.

The Buddhist light would shine onto anyone that entered the door, and they would be able to forget all their troubles and have a calm mind, free of worries.

The light of this Glazed Buddha Mirror could reach even 100 kilometers away, covering half of the sky.

At the foot of the mountain in the distance were devout Buddhist believers. They were the most fanatic ascetic believers that had arrived at the sect after walking for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Among those people, there was no lack of cultivators who were quite powerful and could use Sword Kinesis Flight.

However, to express one's devoutness, they walked from tens of thousands of kilometers away and kowtowed with every three steps.

This was the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground. It belonged to one of the top supreme sacred grounds, even amongst Eastern Wilderness' 12 sacred grounds.

It had the West Desert Buddhism Sect, which had immeasurable resources and manpower.

Near the Little Spirit Mountain Boundary, at the Sonic Thunder Buddhism City's teleportation circle, Buddhist light shone from the void, brightly.

800 Arhats and other guardians appeared from within the light.

Sanskrit sounds came out of nowhere as if the Buddha was chanting sutras to redeem the world.

Then, the wooden fish started to play, and a white-robed robe appeared out of nowhere. He sat with his legs crossed, and there was a giant Divine Bodhi Tree avatar behind him.

The young monk was so outstanding that he attracted everyone's attention.

That's right—the exact same avatar, which did not change at all.

This white-robed monk was Bodhisattva Kuduo—he had activated the special effects once again.

However, the moment he appeared, believers instantly knelt down at the teleportation circle. They were praying softly, and their eyes were filled with craze. It was obvious that they were extremely devout.

Bodhisattva Kuduo seemed to have already been used to such a scene. He sighed helplessly and gradually left with the special effects still activated.

Shortly after he left, those believers also dispersed and gathered at a hidden alley. A bald person wearing a hat was waiting there.

"Your acting is not bad."

He held a bag of Spirit Stones and split them with everyone, one by one.

"Kongde, Kongyun, Kongse, the three of you have done well. Tomorrow, go and collect the high-level Secular Disciple token, then start the pilgrimage act. I have high expectations for you, so continue to work hard. Then, you'll have the qualifications to shave in the near future.

"As for the others, your act was either a little too perfunctory or too exaggerated. You still need to practice more."

The three young believers that had received more Spirit Stones were elated.

"Thank you, Master. We will definitely continue to work hard so we can shave and become monks earlier!"

Bodhisattva Kuduo did not know what was happening in that small alley. He had already reached the Little Spirit Mountain Boundary's entrance and went inside.

The scenery instantly changed, and Bodhisattva Kuduo appeared within a Bodhimanda filled with immeasurable light.

This Small World was different from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, which was filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs, clouds and rainbows. Instead, it was extremely extravagant and resplendent.

Bodhisattva Kuduo appeared before a magnificent staircase that reached the clouds. The stairs were a thousand feet wide. What was more astonishing was that the stairs were paved with gold and emitted immeasurable light.

Beside the stairs were other palaces, pavilions, treasure ponds, and a pagoda.

Those buildings were all embellished with the seven treasures—they were extremely dignified and did not need the sun or moon to shine brightly.

This was an extremely fragrant paradise as everything that could be seen was made with Infinitude Treasured Incense.

One would revel in the smell, which filled the whole world, while heavenly songs came wafted from the skies. What they heard would differ according to what they craved.

Bodhisattva Kuduo walked up the stairs toward the sky.

This was the Clear Conscience Stairs, and it used the Infinitude Gold to test if the believer's heart was firm.

The sacred ground would choose fated people every few years to walk the stairs.

If one's belief was firm and devout and had a selfless mind, they would have a chance to enter the sacred ground.

If one did not have a selfless mind or the aptitude for enlightenment, it meant they were not fated with the Buddha.

Of course, Bodhisattva Kuduo also did not know how he had finished walking the golden stairs in the past and came to the Sonic Thunder Temple.

It was like the Buddha had protected him as he did not feel any pressure at all. It had been so smooth that even he could not believe it.

Oh, my Buddha! At first, he had just wanted to try his luck and enter the sacred ground to scrape a living!

Presently, he was on pins and needles as he quickly finished walking the 10,000 golden steps.

Soon, an extremely vast and dignified palace appeared at the end of the steps, floating on the top of the clouds.

A humongous golden lotus flower, which was 100,000 feet in size beneath the palace, bloomed fully with twelve petals. That lotus flower was surrounded by endless Buddhist light and filled with the aura of merit. The whole palace shined brightly.

Meanwhile, on the beams of the majestic palace, which was hundreds of thousands of feet tall, was a tablet hung—Grand Treasure Hall!

Bodhisattva Kuduo was anxious, with a long face, as he walked toward the Grand Treasure Hall slowly.

Just as Kuduo was about to enter the Grand Treasure Hall, a voice resounded. "Bathe."

Kuduo's body trembled slightly, and he looked at the Seven Treasure Pond to the Grand Treasure Hall's left.

This pond was embellished with the seven treasures and filled with Eight Merit Water. It was the supreme treasure to cleanse one's mind and heart of the Buddhist sect.

Everyone had to cleanse their whole body using the Eight Merit Water in the Seven Treasure Pond before meeting the Buddhist Lord.

In fact, this was a custom that Kuduo disliked as he still had to bathe before meeting his Master!

However, no matter how much he disliked it, Kuduo still did not dare to disobey his Master. He could only go and bathe himself thoroughly.

After bathing and changing clothes, Kuduo took a deep breath and walked into the Grand Treasure Hall.

In the Grand Treasure Hall's center was a huge golden Buddha, hundreds of feet tall, sitting cross-legged.

Kuduo slowly walked to the center of the hall and obediently bowed. He said, "Master, I have returned."

The huge golden Buddha opened his eyes, with a Golden Brahma Kamal Flower in his hands, smiled, and said, "How much do you know about the Divine Firmament's Saint?"

Kuduo was stunned. "I met him for the first time, so I do not know much about him."

The huge golden Buddha's smile gradually disappeared. "Never mind. Go and copy the Buddhist scriptures!"

Kuduo became even more sorrowful. He was hesitating whether or not he should speak.

In the end, he still opened his mouth and said, "Master, I-I have something to say."

The huge golden Buddha said calmly, "Copy the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra 1,000 times. Tell me after you finish copying."

Kuduo's eyes turned red. "Master, what I want to say is related to the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra."

The huge golden Buddha stared straight at Kuduo. "Oh, is it possible you have some understanding of this supreme art?"

Kuduo braced himself to continue. "Yes, I have a Buddhist scripture to present."

As he spoke, Kuduo read the Bodhi Buddhist Scripture aloud in front of the huge golden Buddha.

After he finished reciting the whole Buddhist scripture, the whole Grand Treasure Hall instantly turned silent.

Immediately after, a blinding light exploded from within the huge golden Buddha. "How dare you! You actually tampered with the true meaning of our Buddhist scripture so that you wouldn't need to copy the Buddhist scriptures.

"I punish you to face the wall for three months and copy the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra 10,000 times!

"If you don't finish copying, then you're not allowed to find Fang Chang!"

Chapter 180: Sonic Thunder's Buddha Lord In Seclusion

Copy the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra 10,000 times!?

Upon hearing Lord Tianxiu's words, cold sweat broke out on Bodhisattva Kuduo's forehead!

Copy such a thick scripture 10,000 times? My hands will die from all the copying!

At that thought, Kuduo hurriedly said, "Forgive me, Master. I didn't write this Buddhist scripture."

The huge golden Buddha holding the Golden Brahma Kamal Flower replied coldly, "I know. It's impossible for you to write a Buddhist scripture that rhymes.

"Hurry and tell me who created this scripture. It's simply beyond the pale and twisting Buddha's true meaning!"

Kuduo said, "This... is something I heard from someone when I was sleeping."

The Buddhist Lord stared at Kuduo. "Who did you hear it from when you were sleeping?"

Kuduo was stunned. How should he reply?

The Buddhist Lord continued asking, "Why are you hesitating? Was it Fang Chang?

"You heard it from him when you were sleeping... Why? Have you slept with him on the same bed before?"

Kuduo said helplessly, "Master, you've misunderstood me. I meant I heard someone reciting it in my dream."

The Buddhist Lord seemed to be deep in thought. "You're right. You and Fang Chang are on the same level. He would not be able to write such a Buddhist scripture."

Immediately after, the Buddhist Lord stared straight at Kuduo. "Tell me, who created this scripture?"

Kuduo's expression turned more anxious. "Master, I swore that I could not reveal it."

The Buddhist Lord gave a knowing smile. "Was it an elder or disciple of our sacred ground?"

Before Kuduo could reply, he heard the Buddhist Lord say, "No."

The Buddhist Lord then stared at Kuduo again and asked, "Was it someone from another sacred ground? Which sacred ground? True Martial? Shu Shan? Grand Primordium? Zenith Heaven? Jade Lake? Divine Firmament?"

The smile on the Buddhist Lord's face seemed to be filled with wisdom upon noticing that Kuduo's expression changed slightly.

"As expected! It must be the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader that gave you this Buddhist scripture! He did study Buddhism before and is proficient in it."

"Eh? It's actually not the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader? It can't be Zhang Yunting, right?"

Kuduo was confused and worried as he looked at the Buddhist Lord, who was talking to himself.

Kuduo was not worried about the Buddhist Lord going crazy, but the fact that his Master's guess was actually getting closer and closer to the correct answer!

Senior Brother Shen, I really did not say anything. It's Master that seems to be proficient in our sect's mind-reading art.

"It's not Zhang Yunting? Not Fang Chang either? It can't be... Is it Zhang Yunxi, or... Shen Tian!"

That extraordinary good-looking face appeared in the Buddhist Lord's mind, and he fixed his gaze onto Kuduo's expression.

Hmph, this blockhead disciple can't hide anything. He shows everything on his face.

The Buddhist Lord sighed. "So the Divine Firmament's Saint gave it to you."

Kuduo started doubting himself.

Senior Brother, if I say I did not let out the secret, will you believe me?

He pleaded for mercy and said, "Master, the Divine Firmament's Saint is not our sect's disciple, and this was just a dream. I dreamed of the Divine Firmament's Saint, so this had nothing to do with him. Master, if you want to punish someone, punish me—"

Before Kuduo could finish, the Buddhist Lord interrupted him. "Shen Tian has a heavenly appearance as if he's a Perfected Immortal that descended in our world.

"He was also able to easily obtain thousands of liters of the Nirvana Holy Liquid. It is obvious that he is blessed by immeasurable providence—he is the destined main lead.

"Since such a person created this Buddhist scripture, is it possible that he has some sort of understanding of the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra?"

Fundamentally there is not a single thing.

Where could dust arise?

Fundamentally there is not a single thing.

Where could dust arise?

"Amitabha! After reading this scripture in more detail, it seems to make sense.

"Fundamentally there is not a single thing... Tssss, ingenious, it really is ingenious!"

The huge golden Buddha's expression was sometimes elated, sometimes sorrowful, and sometimes crazy. The Buddhist Lord had evidently received some kind of profound enlightenment due to this Buddhist scripture.

However, the tenet within this Buddhist scripture was conflicting with his own tenet of Buddhism.

The Buddhist Lord was in a conflict—he was having a dialectical debate within himself of the Bodhi's true meaning!

Kuduo was slightly panicking the more he observed his Master's ever-changing expression. "Master, this Buddhist scripture... Is it really ingenious?" he whispered.

The Buddhist Lord replied, "Yes, Shen Tian has great wisdom! He has yet to read the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra, but from just listening to the new Buddhist scripture he wrote, I can see his nature and understand his heart.

"Even I have been inspired by it. If he joins our Buddhist sect, he will definitely become a peerless Holy Monk. Sigh... Why did he have to join the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?"

Kuduo looked at the huge golden Buddha, which was full of disappointment, and whispered, "Master, this is all a dream, a dream that I had."

The huge golden Buddha looked at Kuduo coldly. He gradually stretched out his golden palm, which was ten feet in length, grabbed him, and lifted him up.

Immediately after, the other palm grabbed a small wooden mallet and heavily hit Kuduo's head thrice.

Kuduo held his head and said in surprise, "Master, are you transmitting an art to me through hitting me thrice?"

Buddhist Lord Tianxiu replied coldly, "I am hitting your wooden fish head[1]!

"You haven't learned any Buddhism principles, but you've learned how to lie. You're even trying to deceive me?

"Since young, I have traveled the world and encountered all kinds of people. I am endowed with high intelligence, so did you really think you could deceive me?

"A dream you had? Read more Buddhist scriptures daily to increase your intelligence and reduce your interactions with Fang Chang. The more you mingle with him, the lower your comprehension ability gets.

"Shen Tian has created such an astonishing Buddhist scripture, but you can't understand it at all and still ask me if it really is ingenious?

"Shouldn't you go back and have a thorough apprehension by yourself later? Why did I accept such a blockhead like you as the sacred ground's Bodhisattva?

"Leave! Face the wall for three months and copy the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra."

The Kuduo pulled a long face. "Isn't it ingenious? Why do I still have to copy?"

The Buddhist Lord held the mallet. "If you can say which part is ingenious, then you don't need to copy anymore."

Kuduo broke out in cold sweat upon seeing the wooden mallet in the Buddhist Lord's hands growing larger in size. "Master! Please have mercy!"

The Buddhist Lord grabbed Kuduo and directly threw him out of the Grand Treasure Hall.

"Scram and go face the wall, you blockhead!"

After throwing Kuduo out of the Grand Treasure Hall, the Buddhist Lord finally felt relieved.

The world is so beautiful, but I am so irascible. This is not good, not good!

After circulating the Bodhi Wonderful Sutra for a few cycles, the aura surrounding the Buddhist Lord calmed down once again.

However, a slightly green glimmer was still visible in the air, not reverting to its original color.

The Buddhist Lord sat crossed-legged and mumbled nonstop.

"One's body is like a Bodhi tree?

Bodhi originally has no tree?

"Which is correct, and which is wrong?

"Should I keep away from vanity and dirt, or let go of my obsession and just leave everything to fate?

"Buddha nature is always clean and pure;

Where is there room for dust?

The mirror is originally clean and pure;

Where can it be stained by dust?

"What does clean and pure mean? What is dust referring to? Is it possible that I've already completely gone astray from Buddhism's supreme path?

"Persisting in practicing Buddhism and abandoning human nature, is it also an obsession? Is it possible that the real Bodhi Dao is to be like Kuduo?"

The Golden Brahma Kamal Flower being pinched between the Buddhist Lord's fingers was withering petal by petal, while the Infinitude Avatar behind him was also falling apart.

Life and death, two auras—holy and demonic—were constantly created, destroyed, and reincarnated on the surface of the Buddhist Lord's body.

Before the Grand Treasure Hall's doors gradually closed, the Buddhist Lord's voice resounded.

"From today onward, I'll be in seclusion to meditate. I will not come out before proving Bodhi!

"Also, give the Sonic Thunder's Buddhist Token to the Divine Firmament's Saint, Shen Tian!

"The whole sacred ground will need to treat him with respect and courtesy!"

[1] Meant as a pun as monks use mallets to strike the wooden fish, but in this case, "wooden fish head" has another meaning which means blockhead

Chapter 181: Longyuan's Five Element Divine Armor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Buddhist Lord's declaration before entering seclusion astounded everyone in the entire Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground. Shen Tian, who was the center of the attention, did not know about it at all.

Presently, he was thinking of what excuse to use to prevent joining the Primordial Battlefield's Trial as he knew his luck was bad, and it was extremely dangerous to go there.

If he still rashly pushed himself to go under such a situation, he could easily die.

However, as the Divine Firmament's Saint, it was unsuitable to reject bringing Divine Firmament's disciples to the trial. It was something the Sacred Leader requested personally, so if he directly refused, the Sacred Leader might stack the deck against him in the future!

How about I use the excuse of receiving internal injuries when I was in the Fog Plain? Should I say I'm still recovering, and it will be inconvenient to go?

The problem was that this excuse was too ridiculous as he had just shown off a few thousand liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid an hour ago. Given that astounding amount of Nirvana Holy Liquid, it would be easy for him to recover even if his four limbs were chopped off!

How about breaking through to the Golden Core stage first in the next 10 days?

That's unsuitable too as it's as unnatural as suddenly mentioning to break up on 19th May1.

Not to mention the Primordial Battlefield only restricted one's cultivation level to be under the Golden Core stage—it was not that only Foundation Establishment cultivators could enter.

For an excuse that might not necessarily succeed, he would be risking his cultivation foundation. Hence, Shen Tian felt that it was not worthwhile.

Shen Tian said reluctantly, "Master, I just entered the sacred ground. My reputation and prestige are still lacking. I'm afraid that if I am to lead all the Junior and Senior Brothers/Sisters for the trial, it will most likely be difficult for them to accept it!"

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader replied calmly, "Who dares to refuse to comply? You are the Saint.

"Junior Sister Golden Lotus has been making the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans at full speed these days.

"Tomorrow, I will announce a 30% discount on the price of the Lightning Talismans and say that it was all due to you.

"Then, the Foundation Establishment disciples will all have the Lightning Explosion Talismans to protect them. Thus, they will be much safer during the trial. Naturally, they will be grateful to you."

Speaking till here, the heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader slightly rippled. "Tian'er, I believe in you. This trial is also a chance. I hope you can truly build your prestige. In the future, you still need to bring this huge sacred ground to prosperity!"

After listening to the Sacred Leader's plans, with the tone of a veteran, Shen Tian had no other choice.

The sacred ground has to develop, so I'm giving you some responsibility? What is this deja vu feeling?

Master, as the Hokage... Oh no, as the Sacred Leader, shouldn't you choose someone according to one's strength, reputation, or leadership abilities?

I just entered the sacred ground for a few days! Why do you already want to increase my responsibilities?

Such bias! Do you really not plan to consider your son's feelings? Senior Brother Yunting is your biological son—blood is thicker than water!

Shen Tian felt resigned as he said, "However, the Primordial Battlefield is full of dangers, I am fearful. I have no experience, so if we encounter dangers, it's fine if I die, as it's just me losing my life.

"I'm afraid that other juniors and seniors might perish due to my mistake. Even if I died, I would be too ashamed to face them!"

The heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader fluctuated even more strongly—he never thought that Shen Tian's sense of belonging to the sacred ground was this deep.

It was really Divine Firmament's luck to be able to have such a disciple!

The Sacred Leader said, "You don't need to worry about this at all. I have once calculated that you have the destiny of rising up to great heights. You are blessed by providence. You have now soared to greater heights, and according to your fate, you will be protected by the Heavenly Dao no matter where you go and turn calamities into blessings.

"Thus, the safest course of action for everyone will be to follow you during this trial. If you encounter dangers, I want you to keep yourself safe first.

"Since one's life and death are decreed by fate, every cultivator is already prepared from when they started walking the path of cultivation.

"I know you're kind and compassionate, but everyone has different destinies. As a higher-up, you should have the heart of a superior. Blindly pitying or helping might not be advantageous to the sacred ground's development."

The Sacred Leader's educational lesson made Shen Tian so confused he wanted to sleep.

He only wanted to ride on the coattail of those blessed by providence by sharing their fortuitous opportunities, then keep a low profile until he achieved Immortal Ascension.

Frankly speaking, things such as becoming the Sacred Leader to lead the sacred ground to prosperity, Shen Tian was really not interested. It was just too mentally taxing!

What is more important is the destiny of rising up to great heights? I have now soared to greater heights, and according to my fate, I will be protected by the Heavenly Dao?

You sure that you're talking about me and not Zhao Hao, who has a Master that just died?

Seeing that Shen Tian was not really interested, the Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled.

Suddenly, an image flashed in his mind—a pale blue battle armor.

A bright idea struck the Sacred Leader. "Tian'er, you've become much more powerful now, so you should change your battle armor. How about this, if you agree to lead the disciples in this trial, I'll give you a set of new battle armor. What do you think?"

Although Shen Tian was completely calm and composed, he wanted to laugh.

Why? Did Master rear turtles in the past?

Giving me the Black Tortoise Shield when I just entered the sacred ground, then gifting me the Black Tortoise Helmet when I invented electrolysis... Now that you need me, you plan to give me another set of Black Tortoise Armor?

Of course, Shen Tian only complained in his heart. He was still declining on the surface.

"Master, I definitely do not have such a motive. It's my duty to contribute to our sacred ground—"

Before Shen Tian finished, he saw that a golden battle armor flew out of the Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura. It was shining with incomparable radiance. This battle armor looked relatively impressive as it was surrounded by five-colored lightning, which included white, green, black, red, and yellow. Golden lightning was then created.

On this set of battle armor, the appearance of the five divine beasts' avatars—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Crimson Phoenix, Black Tortoise, and Mighty Qilin—could be seen clearly.

The design on the battle armor's helmet was a golden Qilin, quite similar to the appearance of the Qilin avatar.

The left armguard was like a dragon's back, and golden dragon scales covered the whole arm.

The right armguard was like tiger stripes, and the gloves were inlaid with knuckles as if they were the fangs of a ferocious tiger.

The combat boots were made by scarlet gold Divine Gold—the design was a Crimson Phoenix burning the sky, extraordinarily gorgeous.

Meanwhile, right in the breastplate's center, it was no longer the shape of a turtle shell, but a gold Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams, mysterious and unfathomable.

If the previous Black Tortoise Shield, Black Tortoise Helmet, and the new set of armor were put into a certain game as skin, then the Black Tortoise Shield and Black Tortoise Helmet would be gifted in the first recharge.

If it really did not work out, then it would be given as a reward for events.

Meanwhile, this whole new battle armor was something that a player would be willing to spend money to buy, even if one had to eat cup noodles for an entire month.

That's right—Shen Tian, who had been tortured by the appearance of his equipment for so long, was moved.

Shen Tian rubbed his hands together. "Master, how powerful are the defensive powers of this set of battle armor? I still have quite the amount of Nirvana Holy Liquid. Can I use Nirvana Holy Liquid in exchange for this battle armor?"

The heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader slightly rippled. "This battle armor is named 'Longyuan Divine Armor' and is most suitable for those with the Yang Divine Lightning Constitution.

"Tian'er, if you wear this set of Divine Armor and activate its defense at full strength, it will be difficult for those below the Soul Formation stage to injure you. At the same time, your battle strength will increase by leaps and bounds."

There was one more point that the Sacred Leader did not mention—this battle armor was the most handsome and coolest set in the whole Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

He did not even need to remind Shen Tian as he knew that the last point was the most attractive to Shen Tian.

Young talents such as Shen Tian wanted to show off their most impressive techniques, so unless it was a situation that did not allow it, who wouldn't want to wear the most handsome battle armor to enhance the desired effect?

He, Zhang Longyuan, was also once the most handsome man in the whole Eastern Wilderness when he was young!

The Sacred Leader firmly believed that Shen Tian, who was still young, would definitely be unable to reject such a temptation.

Indeed, after knowing that he could not exchange for this set of battle armor using Nirvana Holy Liquid, Shen Tian's expression instantly turned resolute.

He said righteously, "Master, as the Saint of the Divine Firmament, I am obliged to take up the responsibility of a leader.

"I am willing to set a good example for my Junior and Senior Brothers/Sisters and lead them in the trial 10 days later.

"I'll improve the prestige of Divine Firmament and definitely will not let you down!

"Of course, this has nothing to do with something like the battle armor!"

Never mind, I'll just go for the trial. At most, I'll just stay at the outer boundaries and control everyone from afar. I don't believe that accidents can still happen like this!

That's right. I think there was quite the good fortuitous opportunity in the Big Dipper Saint's halo. It is relatively useful.

Before the trial begins, let's go and reap the Big Dipper Saint's benefits first!

Shen Tian wanted to test if stealing others' providence would really result in a calamity for the person!

Since he's not one of us, there's no problem!

Chapter 182: Shen Tian, Hit Me With All Your Might!

The Sacred Leader was relieved upon hearing that Shen Tian was willing to lead the disciples.

To be honest, the reward for just leading the disciples was definitely not worth the Longyuan Divine Armor. The reason the Sacred Leader had directly used the Longyuan Divine Armor as a reward was to express his sincerity!

Ever since he and Sonic Thunder's Tianxiu had become the Sacred Leader and Buddhist Lord, respectively, they had been secretly competing with each other for hundreds of years. They were opponents but also soulmates—once the other person's aura fluctuated, they could guess what the other person was up to.

'Tianxiu, this bastard. It's obvious he has taken a liking to my lovely disciple. He must want to secretly let him become a monk, right?

Don't even think about it! I have directly given a set of Sage battle armor to convince him to stay! I'm that generous!

At that thought, the Sacred Leader's aura started to ripple.

He said calmly, "Tian'er, the grade of this battle armor is too high. Force out a drop of blood. I'll personally help you to make it recognize you as its master."

Shen Tian hurriedly nodded. He recalled that previously when his cultivation level was too low, he had squeezed out a large bowl of blood before being able to barely make the Sword Master Token recognize him as its master.

That made him feel weak from the loss of too much blood for quite a while.

The Longyuan Divine Armor in front of him was a true Divine artifact, way superior to a Spirit artifact.

If he had to do it himself again, he would most likely not succeed even if he became anemic.

Shen Tian followed the Sacred Leader's instructions and forced out a drop of blood.

The Sacred Leader took that drop of blood and injected it into the Longyuan Divine Armor.

Subsequently, thick lightning and heavenly aura surged toward that Longyuan Divine Armor, cleansing and refining it.

The mark on the divine armor belonging to the Sacred Leader was soon dispersed and converted to a mark belonging to Shen Tian.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian could also clearly sense that some kind of connection between him and that set of Divine armor was formed.

With just a thought, that radiant golden divine armor instantly dismantled.

Next, each part of the armor flew toward Shen Tian, and in an instant, that set of battle armor completely covered Shen Tian.

An unprecedented surge of energy was poured into Shen Tian—that was the power of lightning.

The Longyuan Divine Armor was the Sacred Leader's battle armor when he was young. Originally, it was an armor that was created specifically for the Yang Divine Lightning Constitution. Only the most supreme-grade Spirit Gold of the five types of metals, corresponding to the five elements, was used.

A high-level enhancement array was carved within the battle armor, which could strengthen one's battle power.

Shen Tian's strength instantly increased greatly after wearing the battle armor.

Of course, the increase in his strength was secondary. The most important thing was it was cool!

The instant Shen Tian wore the golden divine armor, he radiated bright flashes of Mixed Lightning.

The rustle of the mantle as white as snow landing onto him from his shoulder down perfectly defined what a chic appearance was!

Seeing the young man in front of him,

The Sacred Leader observed the young man before him and revealed an expression of amazement underneath the heavenly aura. Shen Tian's looks mesmerized him for a moment.

Such a handsome young man! Tian'er exudes peerless valor in this set of battle armor.

His charm is able to mesmerize all the Saintessed in Eastern Wilderness!

Tian'er's appearance is on par with mine! He is worthy of this divine armor!

The Sacred Leader said calmly, "Tian'er, how do you feel? Is this battle armor to your liking?"

Shen Tian nodded. "Thank you, Master. This battle armor is extremely powerful. I feel like I'm filled to the brim with strength!"

Shen Tian formed a small water mirror and was satisfied as he looked at himself in it. His whole body was covered by the golden divine armor, only exposing his handsome face.

Shen Tian's previous problem of conflict between appearance and power had been resolved.

Indeed, equipment that could not balance good looks and practicability was because not enough money was spent!

What do you mean the Black Tortoise Shield's and Black Tortoise Helmet's appearance could not be improved? Look at this Longyuan Divine Armor.

This golden Tai Chi diagram on the breastplate is quite cool! A Divine artifact is indeed a Divine artifact. I must give a thumbs-up!

The Sacred Leader said, "Tian'er, do you want to test out its power? Come and attack me."

After finishing, a golden barrier made of heavenly aura appeared in front of the Sacred Leader.

Shen Tian nodded and gradually stretched out his right hand.

Golden Mixed Divine Lightning jumped around on Shen Tian's fingers continuously. This Mixed Divine Lightning quickly gathered to form a huge Lightning Fist the size of a person's head.

The Lightning Fist was then rapidly compressed. When it was compressed to the longan fruit's size, it shot out at full speed like a laser.

Boom!

The lightning, which was only the size of a longan fruit, exploded with fearsome power.

The heavenly aura barrier was crazily trembling, and cracks appeared.

The Sacred Leader nodded.

"This attack could kill a Golden Core cultivator. Given your cultivation level, you're quite good to be able to control the Lightning Fist to such a precise degree. However, from what I see, this isn't Tian'er's limit! Come, use your full strength!"

Shen Tian was astonished.

I've already done my best to show that I was serious and had already exerted all my strength. But Master still saw through my action of not exerting my full strength, amazing!

Master is indeed Master. Looks like I have to give it my all!

Shen Tian clenched his fists. While wearing the Longyuan Divine Armor, he did the horse stance steadily. The golden lightning mark between his brows resonated with the Divine armor.

"Understood, Master!"

Shen Tian's whole body started burning with a golden aura flame. His vigor and lightning burned simultaneously, converting to the purest power.

The lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader started fluctuating vigorously—he was astonished!

Wth? Is this aura really something that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could have?

Even if he is dual-cultivating his Qi and body, has the Mixed Divine Lightning, or has the Yang Divine Lightning Constitution, it's simply too astounding and bizarre to be able to release such a powerful aura in the Foundation Establishment stage!

Originally, the Sacred Leader had only asked tentatively to see if Shen Tian could exceed his limit and display more strength.

In the end, after probing, his mental state of not being moved by emotions was nearly shaken.

Is this still a freaking Foundation Establishment cultivator? Go and take a look at the various major cultivation sects of Eastern Wilderness. How many Golden Core cultivators could be this powerful?

Shen Tian did not know that he had astonished his master. He was just worried that the Sacred Leader was unsatisfied with him hiding his true strength and thought that his master had seen through him already.

In reality, the Lightning Fist Shen Tian had released was just a normal attack that could be used instantly—it was just to clear the weaker monsters.

Meanwhile, now, he kept on accumulating his power by pouring in the energy of the First Essence Heavy Water, Divine Devouring Vine, and Nan Ming Li Fire into the Mixed Lightning.

Then through the art of entering Super Saiyan mode, he enhanced himself to the maximum. This was truly his most powerful battle state.

Frankly speaking, even Shen Tian did not know how powerful he was under such a state.

Currently, Shen Tian felt that he had reached his limit, and his body could not last anymore.

Extremely abundant energy filled his whole body, and it could surge out anytime.

Such a feeling made him feel the urge to release it. He looked at the Sacred Leader and put his hands together to form a calyx shape, and then he put his hands to his waist.

The almost endless golden lightning gathered in Shen Tian's hand and rapidly compressed.

Shen Tian shouted in a low voice, "Mixed—Lightning—Fist!"

As the last word "fist" was spoken, Shen Tian suddenly pushed both hands out to the front, and the lightning exploded!

Instantly, a radiant golden light filled the whole Sacred Leader Palace. The avatar of the five divine beasts could be vaguely seen in the air.

The surging golden lightning shockwave was like a tsunami, which seemed to be overwhelming the Sacred Leader as it advanced forward.

Shen Tian could only feel as if his whole body was drained completely, and he just fell to the ground.

No, I've already used my full strength, I can't do it any better. The strength of this attack, it should be... able to satisfy Master, right!?

Chapter 183: Those Who Speak My Name Get Discount

There was a blinding light in the Sacred Leader's Palace. Ten Divine Pillars appeared and absorbed the Divine Lightning that was spreading around.

A fort made of golden lightning appeared in front of the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader and blocked all the Lightning Fists that were coming in his way.

It was worth mentioning that previously when the Sacred Leader had been defending against the Fingertip Lightning Fist, the Lightning Fort had been shattered.

However, when facing the even stronger Mixed Lightning Fist, there was no crack on the Lightning Fort in front of the Sacred Leader.

After all the energy was absorbed, the lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader finally calmed down, and he spoke indifferently. "Not bad. That skill was up to my standard, but not as good as mine when I was at Foundation Establishment.

"However, Tian'er, you have to remember—Do not be complacent. There are many people in Eastern Wilderness, and there will be someone who is stronger than you somewhere out there.

"Although you are invincible in the Foundation Establishment stage, your enemy won't always be of the same stage.

"There was a Soul Formation Elder in our sacred ground that was invincible in his league. However, he was attacked by a group of Saint-realm cultivators.

"In the end, he tried his best but still lost the fight. He lost his cultivation and started over again with the Godfiend path.

"Thus, you have to remember—Do not be complacent and arrogant before you are stronger than everyone else."

Shen Tian felt slightly disappointed by what the Sacred Leader said.

This golden-halo Son of Providence is so bugged!

I'm doing my best here... I've merged the three extraordinary items into one and had the Longyuan Divine Armor...

But I'm still not as good as my Master when he was young... This world is too scary. I'll need to play safe here.

Shen Tian took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Master. Regarding the group of Saint-realm cultivators...

"They were so arrogant in attacking us, are we not going to take revenge?"

The Sacred Leader sighed. "There is no way we can get revenge. The seven Saints that attacked us hid their identities very well. They were very cautious.

"What's more important was that the said Soul Formation cultivator wanted his friend to escape first. So, he sacrificed all his cultivation to self-detonate and killed the attackers."

Wait... What???

Shouldn't the story be like the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is being bullied by other sacred grounds?

It should be—"My senior was being bullied by those sacred grounds and lost his cultivation, then I took revenge for him as his junior and destroyed all the enemies", no?

Why did it turn out to be the Soul Formation cultivator self-exploded in order to let his friend escape?

And he killed ALL the seven Saint-realm cultivators? Are you kidding!?

That was seven Sages that survived the heavenly tribulation! They were at the brim of reaching immortality!

Although it was not rare to see cultivators killing opponents that were stronger than them, each of the seven Sages could do the same when they were young too!

Not to mention that a Soul Formation cultivator killing a Sage was way harder than a Golden Core killing a Nascent Soul. Not to mention that he did it while he was outnumbered 1 to 7!

This senior must be so talented! I wonder how strong he would be without the incident.

However, even such a talented senior could end up losing everything... The cultivation world is really dangerous. I need to be extra careful in the future!

Either I'll be good with everyone, or I'll destroy them completely. I cannot afford to make any mistake!

Seeing that Shen Tian had understood, the Sacred Leader nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Tian'er, you don't have to be too worried. You are the Heavenly Dao's Son, born with great providence.

"Normally, you will be fine, and the problems will resolve on their own. Alright, it's time to go back and prepare for the trial!"

Shen Tian nodded and left the Sacred Leader Palace with his Lotus Shooting Gun. He stared into the blank space while heading back to Saint Mountain.

He felt very tired. Not only because he had overused his power, but he also felt very insecure by what the Sacred Leader had told him.

Even such a gifted Soul Formation Elder could end up like this...

The cultivation world is really not for people that do not have good luck.

Now I feel that my green-with-red-spot halo is no longer safe!

Shen Tian had already flown past many Spirit Mountains as he was lost in thought.

The Longyuan Divine Armor he was wearing had attracted the attention of many disciples.

"Damn! The armor looked so cool! It has the avatar of the Mixed Divine Lightning! That's so amazing!"

"Only our Saint could deserve such glorious armor! It looked so good on him!"

"Excuse me? What are you talking about? It should be—this armor deserves our Saint to wear it, okay?"

"That's right! He invented the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman after a few days he joined us, and he healed our First Senior Brother!"

"I heard that there was a Great Demon in Fog City, and our Saint was the one that resolved the issue!"

"What? Our Saint took care of a Great Demon by himself? Is he a Sage already?"

"Can you guys stop talking? Just look at how handsome he is!"

"Clothes make the man. Senior Brother looks so good in that armor! Oh, I'm fainting."

Then, a man carrying a sword on his back appeared.

"Guys, I have news.

"I've just heard that starting from tomorrow, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators could buy Lightning Explosion Talismans at a 30% discount.

"Of course, only those who are participating in the trial ten days later are allowed to buy. They are only allowed to buy 10 per person.

"I also heard that our Saint had started a Favored Ones group. They are recruiting right now, and many people have joined them.

"Even the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman's other inventor is in the group too.

"If you guys manage to join the group and work for him, he will bless you!

"What? You asked me so what if he blesses you? Of course! You get 60% off for Lightning Explosion Talismans! Is that enough?

"Hold on! I know you guys are in a hurry. Here is the application form.

"Those who want to join the Favored Ones group do not miss this chance!"

.At Saint Mountain...

Shen Tian sat on the Enlightenment Stone with his legs crossed and his hands playing with the Hariti Rosary Beads. He was recovering his dharmic power while listening to the others' reports.

Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, and Eunuch Gui were together with him. All of them felt that the Longyuan Divine Armor was perfect for Shen Tian!

According to Qin Yundi, this armor was worn by the Sacred Leader when he was young.

The Sacred Leader has passed his used armor to His Highness. It's obvious that he wants His Highness to take his place!

Eunuch Gui was smiling uncontrollably.

Her Majesty would be so happy for him if she knew about this!

Shopkeeper Song said, "Master Heavens, Haoran Mountain's Li Yunfeng wanted to join us recently.

"I believe our organization needs intel-gathering and leaders.

"Master Heavens, do you want to let Brother Li have a shot at it?"

Li Yunfeng?

Shen Tian started thinking after hearing this name.

The fellow who could 'keep secrets' well and is a news reporter?

Hmmm, I need to control how others think of me too.

He is talented, and I need him to be on my side!

So that in the future...

He will not talk bad about me!

Chapter 184: Capability Of Red Halo

At that thought, Shen Tian nodded and said, "Junior Brother Li is indeed talented. Since he wants to join us, then let him join. However! I have a condition. Tell him clearly that he cannot anyhow spread the Favored Ones' secrets after entering."

Liu Taiyi hurriedly took out a jade bamboo slip and recorded down: "Master Heavens does not like believers to anyhow spread core secrets."

Shopkeeper Song also nodded and said, " Saint Master Heavens, please don't worry. I've already told him that."

Shen Tian nodded and replied, "That will do. In a few days, I will need to take a trip outside of the sacred ground. In the period of time I'm not around, all of you must remember to be hardworking in cultivating. Use all the Nirvana Holy Liquid and increase your strength by as much as possible."

Frankly speaking, Shen Tian was still worried as Zhao Hao would also be present in the joint trial 10 days later.

This fellow was the typical MC who 'sacrificed' others—he had sacrificed his mother to turn into a genius and his Master to obtain the Nine-Yang Battle Constitution.

Although his halo had already turned pure gold, who knew what might happen!?

Let's observe him for a while first! I won't bring him along this time to be on the safe side.

After he finished instructing everyone, Shen Tian also recovered more than half of his Spirit Qi.

He took a deep breath and stored his Longyuan Divine Armor, turning it into a simple internal armor. That was the second form of the Longyuan Divine Armor. Although its appearance was not as cool and not as powerful as the first form, this form was low-key. It looked as if it was nothing special when wearing it, so it could allow Shen Tian to keep a low profile in dangerous situations.

After knowing that even a Soul Formation cultivator had lost all cultivation after being attacked by seven people simultaneously and had to cultivate from scratch again, Shen Tian had become even more cautious.

Aces up the sleeves that were exposed were not called aces anymore, so he felt he had to save countless aces up his sleeves.

After taking care of everything on the Saint Mountain, Shen Tian used Gun Kinesis Flight and left.

For this trip, Shen Tian did not plan to bring a group of people like before. That was because he realized that no matter how many he brought if it was time for him to be unlucky, he would still be downright unlucky.

Also, if he stayed together with a group of people blessed by providence, what if he became the scapegoat in the face of danger?

Just like when the Divine Binding Vines had attacked the city, Zhang Yunxi and others had been all fine, while only Shen Tian had been bound and brought away.

Thus, Shen Tian concluded that only weal could be shared when going out with lucky people, not woe!

As he flew on his Lotus Shooting Gun, Shen Tian quickly arrived at the Divine Firmament City's teleportation circle.

Although this time he was alone, Shen Tian was filled with confidence.

Firstly, although the Big Dipper Saint had a golden halo, it was still much dimmer than Fang Chang's.

Secondly, Shen Tian's halo was also shining with red light, and it was not that far from the Big Dipper Saint's pale gold halo!

Thirdly, and also the most important point, Shen Tian's ability had leveled up after his halo turned red.

Previously, although Shen Tian could see the fortuitous opportunities of those blessed by providence, it was only images. Such as the image above Fang Chang should be the fortuitous opportunity a few days later.

Shen Tian went to snatch it beforehand while full of excitement, but in the end, he had just nicely encountered the Divine Binding Vines attacking the city.

If it were not for Zhao Hao's providence saving the day at the crucial moment, Shen Tian might have already been sent to meet his mother in the afterlife.

However, Shen Tian discovered that he could determine the timing the fortuitous opportunity occurred after his halo leveled up.

After he had just shared the Nirvana Holy Liquid with Fang Chang, his dark green halo turned red.

Then, he discovered that the Big Dipper Saint, who originally did not have a fortuitous opportunity, suddenly had one.

Shen Tian guessed that as his providence increased, the period of time of fortuitous opportunity he could predict lengthened.

For example, when Shen Tian's halo was green, he could predict fortuitous opportunities within three days.

Meanwhile, now that his halo turned red, he was able to predict fortuitous opportunities within five days.

Why was he so sure it was within five days? That was because the Big Dipper Saint's fortuitous opportunity was five days later!

Shen Tian decided that he would quietly observe the situation for five days secretly. After he was completely clear about everything, he would wait for the fortuitous opportunity to occur five days later. He would then snatch the Big Dipper Saint's fortuitous opportunity by making a move right before!

Then, he would be able to prevent any uncertainties.

Sigh... It's still quite troublesome. It cannot be compared to when I was being a fraud.

It's just that it was completely impossible for the Big Dipper Saint to believe Shen Tian, and at the same time, he wanted to experiment. He wanted to see whether, after the fortuitous opportunity of those blessed by providence was snatched, they would really experience misfortune, as well as whether their providence would also decrease.

If not, Shen Tian would not do something this risky! It was all for experimenting!

After encouraging himself nonstop, Shen Tian slowly stepped within the teleportation circle. He saw some strange light before space was distorted and changed rapidly.

A few minutes later, Shen Tian appeared within a bright city.

Why would he say this city was bright? That was because there was no sun above the city.

Seven silver stars were floating on top of the city, and it was quite beautiful as the light shone from the stars.

This was the Big Dipper City, one of the Big Dipper Sacred Ground's affiliated cities. The Big Dipper Array was set up there.

The Big Dipper in the sky of the city was formed from drawing light from the real Big Dipper. Those who cultivated the Big Dipper Sacred Ground's techniques could get twice the result with half the effort when cultivating within this array formation.

Shen Tian looked at the Big Dipper in the sky and secretly admired it as he was rendered speechless with astonishment.

Not mentioning others, just the appearance itself looked flashier than the Divine Firmament City. It seemed as if heaven and earth were transformed.

Of course, heaven and earth could not truly be transformed, or else it would be too bizarre.

The fortuitous opportunity in the Big Dipper Saint's halo was not near Big Dipper City but in a remote, barren mountain. The only thing Shen Tian knew was there was a mortal city named Black Mountain City.

Shen Tian still had plenty of time, so he directly spent money to find the local tyrant force nearby.

After giving two Spirit Stones, he quickly obtained the map—to most people, two Spirit Stones were also money!

This local tyrant force's drawn map was extremely explicit. It was clear at a glance how to get to Black Mountain City from Big Dipper City.

The distance between Big Dipper City and Black Mountain City was not very far, just 2,500 kilometers.

After a short four days, Shen Tian had encountered a passing caravan, which took him to his destination.

That's right, four days! Who knew how Shen Tian survived these four days!

He originally thought that if he followed the map, as long as the direction was correct, then he could easily reach his destination by directly traveling 2,500 kilometers.

However, the mountains, demon beasts, wind, and sand of Eastern Wilderness had taught Shen Tian a good lesson.

One had to know that with the distance of a total of 2,500 kilometers, the deviation of even one degree would result in a huge difference.

Shen Tian felt that he was already quite amazing that he could find his way in four days after flying according to the map!

Although the process was difficult, he at least reached Black Mountain City.

Next, he just had to snatch the fortuitous opportunity at the right time. Then, this trip to the Big Dipper Sacred Ground could be drawn to a successful conclusion.

With an ideal longing, Shen Tian entered Black Mountain City. He wanted to find somewhere to rest first.

Black Mountain City was a small city, and most of the residents were mortals. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators were just a handful.

Shen Tian also did not bother to use Sword Kinesis Flight to stir up trouble, so he landed and walked toward the city.

When he reached the city gates, he saw something interesting.

It was a bounty notice—"Reward of 10,000 taels of silver to kill the demon."

Why did Shen Tian think it was interesting? It was because of the demon on that poster. It was that Mosquito Demon that Shen Tian had seen in the Big Dipper Saint's fortuitous opportunity.

That damned Mosquito Demon!

It actually caused me to be lost for four days.

Do you know how much I can earn in four days?

Unforgivable!

Chapter 185: How Many Good Deeds Did You Do in Your Previous Lives to Be This Handsome?

A huge black mosquito was drawn on the bounty notice. Its body was black and had six dark red wings as if they were dyed in blood. Its size was also quite humongous, tens of meters long, and when it was flying in the air, it was like a fortress in the sky.

Black Mountain City seemed to be extremely tiny before this Mosquito Demon. They were unable to resist at all, and it was a one-sided slaughter.

What, you ask how Shen Tian came to a conclusion from just a bounty notice's information?

It's very simple—murals of the black red-winged mosquito attacking the city were behind that bounty picture, and it was still being updated.

Also, to compare just how big that black mosquito was, the painter who drew the murals had specially marked the size ratio beside it.

Thus, Shen Tian secretly admired the painter—this was the rigorous attitude that a cultural creator should have!

However, Black Mountain City was still safe, meaning Shen Tian had not missed the fortuitous opportunity's timing. That was because in the scene of the fortuitous opportunity Shen Tian had seen in the Big Dipper Saint's halo, Black Mountain City had already become a dead city.

Corpses and bones were scattered everywhere within the ruins.

This tragedy was one of the important reasons why Shen Tian decided to intervene and snatch the Big Dipper Saint's fortuitous opportunity.

Shen Tian was not a saint. The cultivation world was about the survival of the fittest—it was the law of the jungle. Thus, he did not bother to get involved with those he could not see and did not know.

However, since there was a fortuitous opportunity in Black Mountain City, Shen Tian did not mind ending this Blood Mosquito Demon before the Big Dipper Saint.

Since slaying demons was considered a good deed, even if his providence could not increase, he could at least have a clear conscience.

Of course, it was also partially that Shen Tian wanted to vent his anger from being lost for four days.

Though that was just in passing, venting his anger was not a crucial reason to slay the demon.

Shen Tian walked to the city gates, but he was stopped by a man guarding the city.

"Stop! I see you're not a local, right!"

That man was rather burly, and he even had little Spirit Qi within him.

After Shen Tian tried probing, he realized that he was a weakling in the 3rd Firmament of Qi Refinement.

As compared to an expert like Shen Tian, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, a Qi Refinement cultivator was too weak.

Such a weakling still wants to stop me and demand a bribe? Is it possible that I finally encountered the plot of being able to flaunt my strength and slap him in the face?

Shen Tian was slightly looking forward to such a plot. He lifted his head to see the halo on the man's head and saw it was only pale green, so nothing would go wrong!

At that thought, Shen Tian revealed a smile. "Yes. Brother, how did you know?"

That man smiled and said proudly, "I have discerning eyes. You're this handsome, so if there was such a handsome man in Black Mountain City, how would I not recognize you?"

Shen Tian wiped his sweat and said, "Brother, you're indeed smart."

That man nodded proudly. "Don't flatter me. You can't enter the city!"

Shen Tian was stunned and said helplessly, "Why not? Am I breaking any laws by being this handsome?"

It was the first time Shen Tian heard that he could not enter the city because he was too handsome—these average-looking people were too much!

That man looked like he was annoyed, but he still explained, "Can't you tell after seeing the murals? A demon has been attacking the city the past few days!

"Seeing how handsome you are, it's obvious that you're the young master of a wealthy and influential family that went jaunting.

"However, coming to Black Mountain City now, what if the demon kills you? It's not worthwhile, is it?

"If you were ugly, then I wouldn't try to persuade you. If you die, just reincarnate into a different family.

"However, you're this handsome. Who knows how many good deeds you did in your previous lives to be this handsome. It would be a pity for you to be killed by a demon at such a young age. Don't be unreasonable and seek your own death!"

After finishing, that guard pushed Shen Tian away from the city. "Alright, hurry, and go home!"

After being pushed back quite a few steps by the guard, Shen Tian was completely dumbfounded.

He actually dared to push me!

He is just a weakling in the 3rd Firmament of Qi Refinement, and he actually dared to push me, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He's too presumptuous!

If not for my broad-mindedness, other Foundation Establishment cultivators would definitely teach him a lesson!

At that thought, Shen Tian nodded coldly. "Young man, you've attracted my attention."

After finishing, a radiant light exploded throughout Shen Tian's body, emitting a mighty aura.

The Azure Dragon avatar appeared behind him, soaring into the sky. Everyone in Black Mountain City could feel the oppressive dragon aura.

A few people in Black Mountain City were alerted and simultaneously shot toward where Shen Tian was. They seemed to be extremely excited.

"Welcome Immortal Senior to Black Mountain City! We've been counting the seconds to Immortal Senior's arrival, and Immortal Senior is finally here."

"Immortal Senior, the City Lord has already prepared a welcome banquet, ready to host Immortal Senior anytime."

"Immortal Senior is indeed from Big Dipper City. You have an extraordinary appearance, and it's as if you're a heavenly immortal that descended!"

"Immortal Senior, if you can defeat that demon, then you will be our Black Mountain City's great benefactor. We are very willing to erect a longevity monument for you!"

"Immortal Senior, may I know what you like? As long as you say the word, no matter if it's treasure and jewels, songs and dances, or beauties, we will immediately arrange them for you."

"Immortal Senior, you've come alone? Do you want a maid? My daughter is 18 years old and as beautiful as a flower."

All the cultivators who rushed to the city gates had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

In Black Mountain City, these people were either the patriarchs of some family or being provided for by the City Lord. They were all respectable people.

However, after sensing the powerful aura from the city gate, those respectable people who "enjoy high prestige and command universal respect" were fighting to flatter Shen Tian.

That was because they could judge that this person's strength at the city gate could easily dominate them.

Then associating to the fact that they had just submitted the "demon-slaying request" to Big Dipper City not long ago, these respectable people mistakenly thought that Shen Tian was reinforcement from Big Dipper City.

Everyone respectfully kowtowed behind Shen Tian. They looked like they were extremely polite and courteous.

Shen Tian instantly felt better.

This should be the treatment a Saint should receive! No wonder those novels about Gods of War could become popular!

Play dumb to prey on the powerful—preying on the powerful is the key!

Shen Tian revealed a mysterious smile. "There's no need for courtesy. I'm only here to slay the demon. What treasure and jewels, songs and dances, or beauties? They are all external things, so there's no need for them."

After finishing, Shen Tian smiled as he went up to the dumbstruck guard.

"You're quite kind-hearted. I've cultivated for 800 years, but this is the first time a Qi Refinement cultivator pushed me. You're quite daring."

Upon hearing Shen Tian's words, that guard's face turned as pale as a white sheet.

"Im-Immortal Senior! Please have mercy!"

The guard fell in despair upon sensing the other Foundation Establishment cultivators' killing intent in the surroundings. He was very clear how miserable one's end would be if one offended powerful cultivators!

When looking at that man, who was sweating profusely, Shen Tian's anger from being lost for four days faded by quite a lot.

Hmph! Who told you to bully such a handsome me? Who told you to stop me from entering the city.

And you even pushed me. If I didn't scare you to teach you a lesson, then next time, you might meet a surly evil cultivator, who would hold a grudge on you even if you meant well for the evil cultivator. You would for sure.

That's right! I'm doing this all for him with best intentions!

Seeing that the guard was frightened, Shen Tian patted his shoulder.

"Never mind. Consider you're fated with me, so follow me in these few days. Tell me everything about that Mosquito Demon. If you do well, then there won't be a lack of fortuitous opportunity for you."

Shen Tian's voice was cold and calm, but it made all the other guards, the masses, and even the officials all look at that guard.

Their eyes were filled with envy since Shen Tian was a powerful Immortal Senior that had come from "Big Dipper City"!

If the Immortal Senior could take a liking to them, it would be enough even if he just gave them a small opportunity!

They had been under the impression that this fellow would definitely die from offending the Immortal Senior!

Who would have thought that there would be such a plot twist? He could serve the Immortal Senior!

Such luck really made everyone jealous!

When everyone looked at that guard, their eyes were green with envy.

Shen Tian smiled. Sometimes, the enjoyment of being a powerful cultivator...

Was this simple, unpretentious...

And dull!

Chapter 186: Mosquito Demon

It was pitch black in Black Mountain City.

Shen Tian sat on his bed, with countless Spirit Stones placed beside him.

The guard looked at Shen Tian, eyes filled with envy.

When can I spend Spirit Stones like this to cultivate? It is beyond imagination!

Although spending thousands of Spirit Stones was nothing to a sacred ground's true disciple, many cultivators considered it a huge sum, nonetheless.

That was not surprising as one Spirit Stone was worth 1,000 taels of silver—only super-rich cultivators could spend Spirit Stones without worries!

The guard was born in a very normal family; thus, every Spirit Stone had to be spent carefully.

He was a team captain in the Black Mountain Army, and that was a middle-class rank.

However, his salary was still half a Spirit Stone per month! That was only 500 taels of silver.

If the army managed to hunt something outside of the city, he might get rewarded slightly.

However, the Mosquito Demon that kept appearing in the city occasionally had caused wide-spread panic. Thus, they had to be on standby and guard the city every day.

If the Spirit Stones Shen Tian spent for cultivation tonight were to convert to his pay, it would be a few hundreds of years of work. The money a rich cultivator spent on a single cultivation session could support a poor person for their entire life!

After the last Heavenly Cycle was completed, the Spirit Stones beside Shen Tian lost their luster.

Shen Tian let out a long breath as his depleted energy recovered slightly.

He looked at the guard and asked, "Young man, what's your name?"

The man replied carefully, "My name is Zeng Biao."

Zeng Biao?

Shen Tian took a red machete out of his Archeon Sea Ring and said, "This is an inferior-grade Dharma artifact. I'm going to ask you some questions. If your answers are satisfying, it will be yours."

Shen Tian had found this machete lying on the ground during the commotion in Fog City. He had plenty of Spirit artifacts with him and a full set of Divine artifacts, so Dharma artifacts like this were really useless to him.

However, an inferior-grade Dharma artifact worthed at least a few hundred Spirit Stones.

For Zeng Biao's income, it would take him many years to earn that amount without spending any money. In addition, an inferior-grade weapon was just right for him as he could not handle middle-grade or superior-grade weapons yet.

Also, with a higher grade weapon, other cultivators might have the intention of robbing him.

Zeng Biao's power would be increased by at least 50% with this inferior-grade Dharma artifact, and he would be much safer when he went out hunting in the future.

Thus, Zeng Biao quickly said, "I'll answer anything as long as I know the answer!"

Shen Tian nodded and continued. "Tell me all you know about the Mosquito Demon."

Although he already knew the demon's time of appearance and location through the Big Dipper Saint's fortuitous opportunity scene, he did not feel secure enough after the Fog Plain incident. Thus, he had to know everything about the Mosquito Demon, so the same incident would not happen again!

That's all? Zeng Biao was stunned by how simple the question was.

It's like giving me the machete for free! Seems like Master Celestial was elated with me thinking he's very handsome. I knew he would be generous since he looks so handsome!

Zeng Biao was thrilled that he had stopped Shen Tian and started talking about the Mosquito Demon.

"The Mosquito Demon appeared a few months ago out of sudden. Initially, it attacked the sheep and cows outside of Black Mountain City. It was not very strong, about a Qi Refinement cultivator's strength, so the city sent some elite Qi Refinement guards to eliminate it, thinking that it would be easy. Surprisingly, the Mosquito Demon was very cunning and killed all the guards instead!

"After that, the Mosquito Demon disappeared out of a sudden and was not seen afterward. Two months later, it reappeared in Black Mountain City. Its strength was at the 9th Firmament of Qi Refinement and could suck dry an adult in an instant!

"It started killing everyone it saw on the street, absorbed their blood, and soon reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Later, it defeated a few Foundation Establishment cultivators and sucked them dry.

"In the end, the City Lord, a Golden Core cultivator, appeared and only managed to chase it away instead of defeating it. Everyone thought that the demon would never return again.

"Unfortunately, our peace only lasted two months. The Mosquito Demon appeared again, halfway to Core Formation this time. Even the City Lord, who had formed his Golden Core hundreds of years ago, was defeated by the demon in that battle. The demon clearly overpowered him and was close to sucking him dry like the rest, so he detonated all his Dharma artifacts and managed to chase it away.

"Sigh... He was badly wounded and passed away a few days after the battle. Thus, there are no Golden Core cultivators in the city now.

"As you may know, Black Mountain City is a vassal state of Big Dipper City, and we have to pay a huge sum of taxes. In return, Big Dipper City will provide help if Black Mountain City needs it.

"Although everyone in Black Mountain City is worried about the Mosquito Demon, we aren't afraid as we sent someone to Big Dipper City to ask for reinforcements. Logically speaking, the Mosquito Demon will only return after two months, just like what it used to do."

In other words, as long as the Big Dipper City's Immortal Seniors reached there in time, there was nothing to be worried about!

However, Shen Tian knew that everyone had the wrong idea. That black red-winged mosquito was not as simple as they thought, and it would not appear in the city in two months' time. It would appear tomorrow at dawn!

The Big Dipper Saint would only reach the city the next morning when the entire Black Mountain City would already have been slaughtered. The culprit would be the Mosquito Demon, of course!

Shen Tian digested the information Zeng Biao provided him about the demon. He nodded and passed Zeng Biao the inferior-grade machete.

At the same time, Shen Tian transmitted a machete skill to Zeng Biao. It was something Shen Tian had learned when he was still in the Country of Fire. Although it was nothing compared to the sacred ground's heritage arts, it was good enough.

The 13th Prince may have suffered a Qi Deviation due to this art, but it was because his providence was lacking. It had nothing to do with the art itself.

Shen Tian decided to reward Zeng Biao as the latter had a very kind heart and good taste (for calling him handsome-looking).

Zeng Biao was very thankful as this art was much stronger than the one he cultivated now. He could obtain greater honor in the future with this art. It was a big fortuitous opportunity for him, indeed!

Shen Tian asked Zeng Biao to return home and cultivate this new art while he sat on his bed and prepared himself for war.

Shen Tian knew that the enemy could be here any second. He had to be ready for it!

The night fell...

The sky was covered in beautiful stars, and most of the people in Black Mountain City were asleep.

Shen Tian was still awake in the City Lord's residence. A golden flash of lightning suddenly shot up to the sky and exploded on top of Black Mountain City.

The thunderclap reverberated throughout the entire city, and the sound awakened everyone.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared outside of Shen Tian's room to find out what happened.

Shen Tian took a deep breath and walked out. He jumped to the roof of the house and looked at the sky from afar.

A swarm of mosquitoes was coming their way!

Chapter 187: Whale's Power

Everyone was shocked to see the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes.

There were too many of them, and each mosquito was extremely large. They did not look like mosquitoes anymore but more like giant lanterns!

A single bite from such Blood Mosquitoes could cost all the blood in one's body!

Some of these Blood Mosquitoes had the size of a grown man, looked terrifying, and had a stronger aura around them. These Blood Mosquitoes were equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator—pretty scary.

Black Mountain City had only a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, but there were at least 50 fully grown Blood Mosquitoes out there.

They were totally outnumbered!

Many cultivators stood behind Shen Tian and felt very depressed.

How can we even win? There is no way! The enemy is just too strong!

The City Lord collapsed on the ground, his legs shaking in fear. "How... How could this happen? My father had just chased away a pre-Golden Core Blood Mosquito! Why is this happening?"

The other cultivators said in desperation, "That's it for our Black Mountain City. There are too many of them!"

"There are about 100,000 Blood Mosquitoes out there! What should we do?"

"There's no other way! Let's abandon the city and run!"

"No! All my life's work, family, and home are here! Where can I run?"

The entire Black Mountain City was in chaos.

Some were thinking of fleeing the city, while others knew that they had nowhere to run, so their only chance was to defeat the incoming insects.

Shen Tian looked at the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes calmly, not panicking at all.

A sudden event like this was the most troublesome thing that could happen to a cultivator as there was little time to prepare for it.

As long as cultivators could know the events earlier, they would easily solve the problem!

Shen Tian had already seen the fortuitous opportunity in the Big Dipper Saint's halo, so he was well prepared for the attack!

He took a deep breath, and azure lightning surrounded him.

The I Divine Lightning (Wood) was forming around Shen Tian while dragon-shaped armor appeared on him.

It was the Azure Armor Formation recorded in the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.

Unlike the defensive Black Tortoise Armor, Azure Dragon Armor focused on healing and Spirit Qi recovery.

Shen Tian knew that he would fight a battle of attrition against many opponents. Thus, this formation was the most logical choice.

It was definitely not because the Azure Dragon Armor looked better than Black Tortoise Armor!

He yelled, "Everyone, please remain calm! I'm here! There's no way we are going to lose to them!"

Shen Tian took an azure formation disk out of his Archeon Sea Ring and placed it on top of the city fortress.

Then, an azure dragon appeared from the sky. Its roar was heard from miles away, and dark clouds gathered around it.

At the same time, azure-colored lights appeared in all four directions around Black Mountain City. A transparent energy shield appeared around the city and protected it by absorbing the Spirit Qi in the surroundings.

It was the Divine Firmament Azure Dragon Array, a weaker version of the protective array back in the sacred ground. Shen Tian was very interested in the protective array Zhang Yunxi had set back in Fog City. Thus, he had asked Qin Yundi to help him find Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus for an array formation disk in exchange for a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid before he reached here.

He had planted the disk the previous night, and all he needed to do now was to set the core disk in order to activate the array formation.

Why did Shen Tian only set up an Azure Dragon Formation instead of the Divine Firmament Protective Array?

First, Shen Tian was not strong enough to complete the full array.

Second, he wanted to bait the Mosquito Demon out!

After Shen Tian completed the array, the Blood Mosquitoes reached the city.

Boom!

Ripples formed on the array formation's surface, and strikes of lightning zapped around. Soon, countless Blood Mosquitoes were toasted by the Divine Lightning and fell dead on the ground. However, more Blood Mosquitoes flew up to take the spot of their fallen comrades.

Shen Tian took out his Lotus Shooting Gun and shouted, "Attack them! Use flying swords and arrows to attack them now while the array is still working! If not, we are all doomed when the array is broken!"

Shen Tian's words gave people the hope to live again.

Indeed, humans would have depressing thoughts when they were desperate. However, as long as they were able to see the light in the darkness, they would do anything to reach for that light!

Everyone in the city was working together right now!

Dharma artifacts flew out from everywhere and attacked the Blood Mosquitoes together with the rain of arrows that were pouring at the same location.

It was the cultivators in the city and the city guards.

Black Mountain City no longer depended on the Immortal Senior anymore—they were using their own strength to fend off these monsters!

Although each individual had negligible power in this battle, they were strong collectively as a whole!

Shen Tian looked at the guards and the rest doing their best to defend their home and felt very pleased.

These people are indeed worth my effort to save!

I'll fight to my heart's content too!

As more and more Blood Mosquitoes swarmed toward them, Shen Tian gave a scoff.

"Let me show you the power of a whale!"

Boom!

The Lightning Explosion Talismans exploded among the Blood Mosquitoes one after another without stopping. Each talisman caused a giant explosion that killed multiple Blood Mosquitoes at once. All the cultivators were shocked by this move.

Damn! This is the supreme-grade Lightning Explosion Talisman! It is worth a few hundred Spirit Stones per piece!

How many did he use just now? 1,2,3,4,5...

Shen Tian had used at least a few hundreds of them, and he had yet to stop!

The continuous explosion was like a firework display, stunning everyone!

This Immortal Senior from Big Dipper City is so rich!

How was that even a whale? He was more like a Game Master!

Anyway, how much is the reward for killing this Mosquito Demon? You are spending a few million for a reward that's worth a hundred? What's wrong with you!?

Black Mountain City's cultivators were touched by how generous this Immortal Senior was.

Some of them even started tearing—definitely not because they suddenly realized how poor they were...

Shen Tian had no idea that his action had caused such an impact on the poor cultivators. His focus was not on how much he was spending, as he only wanted to bait out the Final BOSS. Otherwise, he might be too late, and the real Big Dipper Saint could appear here!

He needed to kill their leader fast!

Chapter 188: You Are In My Range

There were just too many Blood Mosquitoes outside of the city, and they just kept coming.

Initially, the cultivators only thought that there were 30 to 50 Foundation Establishment Blood Mosquitoes. However, as they killed them one after another, new Blood Mosquitoes of equal power appeared again!

Apparently, the Blood Mosquitoes' numbers were way beyond their imagination.

Shen Tian took a deep breath and thought it was time to slowly reveal his true power.

He made a hand seal, and the Lotus Shooting Gun flew out. The gun made a few circles in the air, and dozens of Blood Mosquitoes dropped dead on the ground.

Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus had created this Lotus Shooting Gun, and it was very special. Not only did it contain Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans and Iron Essences in it, but it could be used as a flying sword to kill enemies too. It was almost impossible to find another weapon with such power on other Golden Core cultivators.

Shen Tian had much higher cultivation than the monsters, as well as a Spirit artifact. As such, the Blood Mosquitoes could only be tortured by him despite their numbers.

However, as Shen Tian killed more Blood Mosquitoes, he started to frown deeper.

The Mosquito Demon was still hidden in the dark, observing everything.

Honestly, Shen Tian was in a hurry as the sun would rise in just a couple of hours.

Then, an idea came into his mind, and he slowed down the rate he was throwing the Lightning Explosion Talismans.

At the same time, he controlled his Spirit Qi to allow his Azure Dragon Armor to look dimmer. He staggered toward the edge of the city wall and supported his weight with his hand on the wall. He looked very pale and was greatly exhausted.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him were very worried. "Immortal Senior, you should take a break."

"Yes, that's right. You are our last hope!"

"We will guard the fortress for now. Please get some rest first!"

"The Mosquito Demon is not here yet. You need to preserve your energy!"

"Leave it to us, Immortal Senior! We will stop all the Blood Mosquitoes!"

Shen Tian nodded and slowly sat down with a pile of Spirit Stones. He cast his Lotus Shooting Gun every few minutes to attack the Blood Mosquitoes.

The mosquitoes had a very fast response speed, so the attacks from normal Foundation Establishment cultivators mostly missed. As for the Qi Refinement guards' arrows, they were even less threatening for them.

Contrary, Shen Tian was so accurate that his gun never missed a single target.

One Foundation Establishment Blood Mosquito would meet its death with every shot Shen Tian fired. The black Lotus Shooting Gun was soon dyed red by the mosquitoes' blood. Nonetheless, the more Shen Tian attacked, the paler his face turned.

There was a limit to the amount of Dharmic powers and Spirit Qi in a cultivator.

Many sects would let the weaker cultivators attack their powerful targets first. This could weaken the target so that the opponent could not have the full power when they launched the main attack.

Shen Tian wanted the Mosquito Demon to believe that he was exhausted from the fight with the Blood Mosquitoes. He was still holding three Lightning Explosion Talismans, but he was too 'tired' to use them. The Azure Dragon Armor also started to disappear slowly at the same time.

Shen Tian looked like he was at his limit, so the Blood Mosquitoes stopped their suicide attacks and made a path in the middle. Then, a huge Blood Mosquito appeared among them.

There were three sets of wings on its back, and the generated wind was incredibly strong!

It looked at Black Mountain City before staring at Shen Tian with its eyes.

Everyone in the city felt despair after seeing the Mosquito Demon, especially the Foundation Establishment cultivators. They could feel that the demon had gotten much stronger now.

How did it manage to do it in such a short duration? It has the strength of a Golden Core cultivator now!

Initially, Immortal Senior could handle the demon without a problem. However, he was so exhausted now!

Who else could they depend on to stop this blood-sucking monster?

The mosquito looked down at all the people and spoke in the human language.

"I'm back! I'll take my revenge! All of you need to die!"

It looked at the Azure Dragon Array and scoffed.

It opened its mouth, revealing a red spear, which looked like the mosquito's proboscis. It was evidently a special weapon forged by its blood.

It was common practice for many demons to use their body parts as models for their weapons. However, no one could understand why this Blood Mosquito Demon had a special weapon. It was merely at Qi Refinement a few weeks ago!

How could it have forged a special weapon and reached Core Formation in such a short time? Was it one of the Demon race's geniuses? Was it having fun with them now?

Before they could obtain an answer, the demon started attacking the array. The spear had nomological powers, and it was more terrifying than sword kinesis.

When it touched the protective shield, a hole was torn immediately. The Divine Lightning tried to break the spear but failed, and in but an instant, the Blood Mosquito was inside the array formation!

After it entered the city, it transformed into a red-robed man with the bloody spear in hand and smirked at Shen Tian.

"Not bad. Not bad. You are powerful for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, humans are too weak!

"You guys have more privileges than us but are way more stupid. Why did you waste so many Lightning Explosion Talismans just to save those useless men? What a waste! All these men are my loots! No one is going to escape!"

Then, the man said in a threatening voice, "You will be the first!"

He turned into a red shadow and went for Shen Tian.

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators tried to stop the demon, but they were too slow.

The man appeared in front of Shen Tian in less than a second. His spear was an inch away from Shen Tian, and it was going to penetrate him at any moment.

At that moment, Shen Tian opened his eyes, and his Lotus Shooting Gun blocked the attack in the nick of time.

"Still wanna struggle?"

The Blood Mosquito Demon scoffed before waving his spear and smacking it on the Lotus Shooting Gun. In the next instant, he felt something was wrong, but it was too late.

A lotus flower suddenly appeared on the Lotus Shooting Gun's tip, while a green vine shot out from underground and grabbed on the demon's legs tightly. What's more, the lotus flower shot out an incredibly fast object!

Nonetheless, the Blood Mosquito Demon reacted quickly and managed to block the laser-like attack with his spear!

Clang!

The Blood Mosquito Demon knew something was not right after stopping the attack.

This Penetration Weapon Pin's power was way beyond his imagination. After blocking the first pin, the demon's entire body was shaking, and his grip on the spear loosened.

To his surprise, the lotus flower started spinning again and shot out another pin!

Damn! What kind of weapon is this? It can reload so fast? So unfair!

The Blood Mosquito Demon focused and prepared to block the second attack.

It's okay. If I can block one, I can block the second one too!

Unfortunately, the Blood Mosquito Demon fell in despair in the next second as he saw Shen Tian had a stack of Lightning Explosion Talismans in his hand!

Shen Tian smiled and said, "You... are... in... my... range~"

Boom!

All the talisman flew out and exploded at the same time. The place was set aflame in a second, and many body parts were strewn all over the floor.

The initially astonished cultivators were overjoyed when they processed what happened.

However, Shen Tian knew that it was far from over—the Blood Mosquitoes were still outside of the city!

Chapter 189: See Who Sucks Who Dry!

The Black Mountain City Lord walked toward Shen Tian, his expression extremely respectful.

He said seriously, "Immortal Senior, please accept a kowtow from me for helping our city to solve the Blood Mosquito Demon crisis, saving the city from misery."

After finishing, the City Lord actually directly knelt down toward Shen Tian.

Shen Tian smiled as he stretched out his hand to lift up the City Lord. "Don't kneel. You need to give money even if you knelt."

Give... give-give-give money?

The Black Mountain City Lord staggered and nearly collapsed to the ground. "Immortal Senior, we really do not have enough to repay you!"

Not to mention how high the Immortal Senior's appearance fee for slaying the Blood Mosquito Demon was, just the value of the Lightning Explosion Talisman that Shen Tian had used was enough to buy the entire Black Mountain City with remaining to spare.

The whole city bears a debt of gratitude for saving everyone in the whole Black Mountain City.

But for your loss in the use of Lightning Talisman, we really cannot afford it!

Even if you sold me, the City Lord, there wouldn't be enough!

Seeing the Black Mountain City Lord's terrified expression, Shen Tian's face slightly darkened.

"You can't afford it? Why place a bounty if you can't afford to pay the 10,000 taels of silver? I've done all that for nothing?"

Huh? 10,000 taels of silver?

The City Lord was dumbstruck.

"What? 10,000 taels of silver? So the payment that Immortal Senior is talking about is just 10,000 taels of silver?"

Shen Tian looked at the City Lord as if he was looking at an idiot. "What else did you think it was? You placed a bounty, offering money. I completed the task, so I want my reward. Is there any problem?"

The City Lord was rendered speechless.

So Immortal Senior, the payment you want is 10,000 taels of silver? Just this much!?

The 10,000 taels of silver can only be exchanged for 10 Spirit Stones! This amount is not even enough to buy one Lightning Explosion Talisman, you know!?

You've spent such a fortune to slay the Blood Mosquito Demon just for this bit of bounty reward?

No! Immortal Senior is definitely not this dumb! There must be a deeper meaning!

Right!

Immortal Senior is taking care of our Black Mountain City's dignity. He's using just 10,000 taels of silver to alleviate the tension.

No wonder he's an Immortal Senior from Big Dipper City. Not only are his moral compass and wisdom great, but he's also compassionate. He's doing so to prevent us from feeling guilty and ashamed!

I've understood, understood!

At that thought, the City Lord said respectfully, "Please wait a moment, Immortal Senior. I'll immediately go and bring you 10,000 taels of silver.'

Shen Tian shook his head and looked outside the city. "There's no need to hurry. That demon has not died yet!"

The demon is not dead yet?

The City Lord became anxious and hurriedly looked outside the city only to see that blood mist was rising from the plains outside the city.

Drops of blood were rapidly gathering from Blood Mosquitoes' carcasses, and immense pressure engulfed the entire Black Mountain City. It was at least 10 times more fearsome than when the Blood Mosquito Demon appeared!

A man wearing a blood-red robe appeared outside the Azure Dragon Αrray. He held a crimson spear and was emitting killing intent. His appearance was exactly the same as the Blood Mosquito Demon, but his aura was much more powerful than the deceased Blood Mosquito Demon.

He looked at Shen Tian coldly as if he was looking at a dead person, his killing intent dreadful.

"Detestable human, you actually dared to kill my child. I'll definitely suck you dry today!"

Supremacy Blood Mosquito instantly shot toward the city as he spoke, leaving a trail of bloody light.

The crimson spear he held instantly tore an opening in the Azure Dragon Lightning Array—the array was actually unable to even stop him for a moment!

Supremacy Blood Mosquito had scarlet eyes as he glared straight at Shen Tian. He hated Shen Tian to his core!

The Blood Mosquito Demon Shen Tian had killed was not his actual child—it was even more important than his blood-related child, however.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito had commanded this swarm of Blood Mosquitoes to attack Black Mountain City to obtain the blood of the entire city's cultivators and then use it to feed the Golden Core Blood Mosquito Demon.

The previous few times they had attacked Black Mountain City was just on a small scale, and they had not caused lots of trouble. Thus, even if Black Mountain City had requested reinforcements, they would at most send a Golden Core Third Refinement Stage cultivator.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito could effortlessly deal with that kind of reinforcement and even suck the person dry for nourishment.

Since Big Dipper City's Nascent Soul cultivators were not as common as marketplace cabbages, how would they possibly send them to Black Mountain City just to slay an "almost Golden Core" Mosquito Demon?

However, Supremacy Blood Mosquito had never expected Shen Tian to suddenly appear. Although Shen Tian's cultivation level had not reached the Golden Core stage, he had numerous treasures, such as supreme-grade Lightning Explosion Talismans. Most cultivators would use them as their aces up their sleeves to save their lives in emergencies.

On the other hand, this human cultivator just used them as his normal attacks, even throwing them stacks of them each time. Even Golden Core cultivators would be intimidated when facing such an attack!

Even so, it was not to the point where the Blood Mosquito Demon would instantly die. It was mainly due to Shen Tian, who was too cunning.

In the beginning, he had taken the Blood Mosquito Demon by surprise by using the Lotus Shooting Gun to attack it, and then he even used the Divine Devouring Vine to bind and control it.

The vines' toughness was so strong that even a Golden Core Blood Mosquito Demon was unable to struggle free. Thus, the Lightning Explosion Talisman's explosion sent it to the grave.

It faced death so fast that Supremacy Blood Mosquito didn't have the time to try saving it.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito stared right at Shen Tian and could sense that the vine was by no means ordinary.

It might... be the legendary extraordinary item—Spirit Wood!

At that thought, Supremacy Blood Mosquito revealed fervent enthusiasm.

If it really is a Spirit Wood item, then killing this kid might be able to make up for my loss!

While thinking that, Supremacy Blood Mosquito charged into the city, appeared before Shen Tian, and stabbed the crimson spear toward him.

In an instant, bloodlust filled the sky while a strong scent of blood pervaded the walls. The smell made one want to vomit.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito had a hideous smile as he could almost see the scene of Shen Tian being pierced by his Blood God Spear, then groaning and begging for mercy!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Tian, who had seen Supremacy Blood Mosquito rapidly closing the distance, was as if he had been dumbstruck by fear. He did not move at all!

Supremacy Blood Mosquito scorned in his mind, He's indeed a fledgling, green and inexperienced. He is facing a life-or-death situation, yet he is so scared that he forgot to dodge!

Haha, foolish human, die! I am going to suck you dry!

The crimson spear's tip, engulfed in dense bloodlust, distorted and shattered space. The stab's power was formidable!

Under Supremacy Blood Mosquito's staring gaze, the Blood God Spear heavily struck Shen Tian's chest. However, the scene of the Blood God Spear piercing through Shen Tian, which he had been playing in his mind all this time, did not become a reality.

Instead, a radiant golden Eight Trigrams symbol suddenly appeared on Shen Tian's chest. It kept on twirling and forming a powerful force of attraction.

Not only could it block the spear's strike, but it also sucked the Blood God Spear Supremacy Blood Mosquito was holding tightly, so much so he could not pull the spear back and retreat.

It got sucked in!

Supremacy Blood Mosquito was astounded.

How could this be possible!? How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator be able to use his chest to block my Blood God Spear? Is this guy's chest made of Immortal Metal?

Golden armor parts started appearing around Shen Tian one after the other, completely covering him from head to toe, making him look extremely valiant and impressive.

The sky was currently tinged crimson. When the first ray of sunlight shone on his battle armor, Shen Tian seemed radiant under the sunlight!

In that instant, it was as if Shen Tian was the God of War!

Shen Tian facing the bewildered Supremacy Blood Mosquito and smiled. "At last, you have finally appeared!"

While speaking, Shen Tian suddenly grabbed the Blood God Spear, not allowing Supremacy Blood Mosquito to pull it back.

At the same time, a greenish-black rope flew out from Shen Tian, rapidly entangling Supremacy Blood Mosquito's body. That was a Divine Binding Rope forged with a Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine. It was able to bind Nascent Soul cultivators—struggling free was a challenging issue.

Although it was unable to trap this Nascent Soul Blood Mosquito for too long under Shen Tian's control, he just needed this short moment.

Originally, given Supremacy Blood Mosquito's speed—if not for him being reluctant to let go of his spear—it would be way more challenging to use the Divine Binding Rope to imprison him.

However, after a wrong decision, it was not that simple for Supremacy Blood Mosquito to escape anymore!

The Nascent Soul Divine Binding Rope bound Supremacy Blood Mosquito's arms while emerald Divine Devouring Vine shot out of the ground and tied up his legs.

A familiar scene replayed itself as countless Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans flew toward Supremacy Blood Mosquito without caring about the cost.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito scoffed.

"Did you think the same trick would work on me? Laughable! Blood God Domain!"

Supremacy Blood Mosquito snarled, and his whole body shone with an intense red light.

Countless Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans exploded on Supremacy Blood Mosquito's body surface, but the Blood God Domain blocked them all. Thus, Supremacy Blood Mosquito wasn't harmed at all.

These Lightning Explosion Talismans were only meant to deal with Foundation Establishment cultivators, and only by stacking plenty of them would they be able to kill Golden Core cultivators. Thus, before this Nascent Soul Blood Mosquito, they were somewhat lacking.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito roared, and the Divine Binding Rope tying him up loosened slightly. It was evidently unable to last any longer.

"Human, I admit you're quite cunning and full of treasures!"

Supremacy Blood Mosquito looked at Shen Tian greedily. "It's a pity that your cultivation level is just too low. It's too much of a waste that you have these supreme treasures!

"Give up on resisting and just die! Seeing that you contributed this many supreme treasures to me, I can keep your corpse intact!

"That's right! Your battle armor was actually able to block my all-out strike! Only I am worthy of wearing such a supreme treasure! After you die, I'll treat it well!"

Hundreds of Lightning Explosion Talisman exploded and bombarded the domain barrier protecting Supremacy Blood Mosquito's body. This resulted in the Supremacy Blood Mosquito's barrier becoming much thinner.

Unfortunately, it was unable to completely destroy the Blood God Domain—this layer of barrier was just too strong.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito looked at Shen Tian arrogantly as he was about to completely free himself from the Divine Binding Rope and kill Shen Tian.

However, shortly after, the arrogant smile on his face froze.

"F*ck... F*ck you!"

Supremacy Blood Mosquito saw that eight short black guns floated behind Shen Tian, simultaneously pointing at him together with the Lotus Shooting Gun.

If that were not enough, Shen Tian threw more Lightning Explosion Talismans at Supremacy Blood Mosquito without minding the cost. At a rough calculation, there were 300?–500 talismans!

Nevertheless, they did not inflict lethal blows. They only served to continuously weaken the Blood God Domain protecting Supremacy Blood Mosquito.

The fatal blow was... a sackcloth-wearing stalwart figure floating behind Shen Tian.

That middle-aged man held a broadsword and slowly slashed down.

Sword Venerable Long River's sword intent swayed even the heavens and earth as an invincible blade aura suddenly appeared in the sky.

In an instant, it divided into two, and then three... Soon, there were millions of them. The blade aura actually formed a long river, which surged toward Supremacy Blood Mosquito.

If Supremacy Blood Mosquito was in his prime condition, he would have the chance to block this attack—he would at most be injured heavily.

Unfortunately, he had yet to completely break free from his restraints, and the Blood God Domain around him had also been weakened to the extreme due to the repeated explosions.

Thus, when facing Sword Venerable Long River's sword intent—released by the Sword Master Token's sword spirit—how could he resist? The river of blade aura instantly swallowed him!

Although Shen Tian was also within the river of blade aura's range, his Longyuan Divine Armor emitted a radiant glow. He was not afraid the blade aura would accidentally injure him as his armor was stacked thick enough!

As long as Shen Tian's Dharmic power was not depleted, even if he wore the Longyuan Divine Armor and stood there for Supremacy Blood Mosquito to attack, the latter could not injure him at all!

This was his source of confidence and the reason he was not afraid to face Supremacy Blood Mosquito!

After the long river of blade aura faded, Supremacy Blood Mosquito's multi-sliced and bloodied body appeared. Only his head could be still counted complete as a reddish-gold piece of paper was protecting it. He had barely managed to survive!

When the blade aura disappeared, that head hurriedly kept away the reddish-gold piece of paper and wanted to escape.

However, how could Shen Tian possibly mess up a sure thing?

The Purple Golden Hammer suddenly appeared in his right hand. In the next instant, he enlarged it by 10 times and hammered it down!

Duang!

In mid-air, Shen Tian smashed Supremacy Blood Mosquito's head to the ground—his whole head was completely muddled.

A long emerald vine suddenly shot out of Shen Tian's left hand and bound the Supremacy Blood Mosquito's head like a huge rice dumpling.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian also grabbed the reddish-gold piece of paper, which was surprisingly heavy. Through a rough estimate, the reddish-gold piece of paper's weight was at least hundreds of kilograms and above.

Shen Tian let out a satisfied smile upon seeing the reddish-gold piece of paper. He had come all the way to Black Mountain City for this!

Now that the treasure was in his hands and the Big Dipper Saint had yet to arrive, it could be said that he had succeeded.

After controlling the Divine Devouring Vine to pull Supremacy Blood Mosquito's head into his hand, he gently hefted the head.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito was filled with resentment and indignation.

"I would rather die than be humiliated! Human, you dare to be this disrespectful!"

Disrespectful? You, a demon, are talking about respect? Didn't you want to pierce me with your spear just now?

Shen Tian grinned and stuffed the Divine Devouring Vine into Supremacy Blood Mosquito's mouth.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to suck me dry earlier?

"I'll let you suck now! I want to see if you are going to suck me dry, or I am going to suck you dry!"

Mhm~

Mhmhm~

Mhmhmhm~

Supremacy Blood Mosquito cried tears of humiliation and struggle!

At the same time, 50 kilometers away from Black Mountain City...

The Big Dipper Saint was sitting cross-legged on a Star Chariot.

His Nascent Soul cultivation had recently been unstable, so he wanted to find some demon to vent. In the past few days, the Big Dipper Saint had basically accepted most of the missions that had to do with slaying Nascent Soul demons. Thus, he was heading to Black Mountain City today to kill the Blood Mosquito Demon.

Frankly speaking, he really did not think that a mere Blood Mosquito Demon, a step away from the Golden Core stage, was worth it for him to go personally. The main reason why he was specially going to slay the demon was that the Blood Mosquito Demon's cultivation speed was unnaturally fast.

In the short span of three to four months, the previously Qi Refinement demon had almost stepped into the Golden Core stage. As such, that made the Big Dipper Saint curious.

Was it possible that this demon had encountered some fortuitous opportunity?

Since he was free, the Big Dipper Saint had decided to head there.

Surprisingly, as he neared Black Mountain City, the Big Dipper Saint suddenly felt like something was wrong. A thick malicious intent surged throughout his body, making his heart skip a beat.

It was as if something bad was about to happen, and such a feeling was vaguely familiar!

The Big Dipper Saint could not help but be on guard. Nonetheless, after careful consideration, what could just a Golden Core demon do to him?

It must be that he was stimulated by the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's genius Saint, and his mental state had yet to recover!

I have to hurry to find some weak demons to bully and reclaim my superiority. Only then can I recover my "Heart of Invincibility" as soon as possible!

That's right, that's the plan!

Thinking till here, the Big Dipper Saint chanted a special incantation, and then the Star Chariot's speed increased greatly!

Chapter 190: Unregulated Driving, Saint End Up In Tears!

The Star Chariot advanced at maximum speed under the early morning's misty first glimmerings.

The four Single-Horned Flying Horses pulling the chariot were all mutated, and they had a single silver horn. As the morning light shone on the Single-Horned Flying Horses and vaguely reflected the stars, they seemed to be exceptionally pretty.

The Big Dipper Saint had especially changed his chariot after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage as it also represented the Saint's image.

The Star Chariot traveled at its maximum speed, which could reach 100 miles in just a moment.

Just when Chen Zhongtian neared Black Mountain City, his face suddenly turned solemn because all he could see was the color red, which was the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes. They were as concentrated as torrential rain, surrounding Black Mountain City from outside. It was a ghastly sight.

"Such audacity! There are actually demons that dare to attack the cities under my Big Dipper Sacred Ground's protection!"

Chen Zhongtian's eyes turned cold and emitted a murderous intent. He did not really mind demons killing humans, as in Eastern Wilderness, that phenomenon was just too common.

However, Black Mountain City was one of Big Dipper's vassal cities. As such, these Blood Mosquitoes surrounding and attacking Black Mountain City were akin to violating Big Dipper's dignity.

"They deserve death!"

Also, Chen Zhongtian had his own considerations. Although he was the Big Dipper Sacred Ground's Saint, his current status within the sect was not very high. That was because he would always follow the Purple Mansion's Saint as if he were the Purple Mansion Saint's vassal. He had put himself too low.

In addition, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground did not lack geniuses, and the majority of them was only slightly weaker than him. They could all threaten his status, so Chen Zhongtian felt extremely insecure.

Although the Purple Mansion Saint could provide some sense of security, it was still not enough. Therefore, Chen Zhongtian had to do some things by himself, such as... fighting to control public opinion!

Black Mountain City's calamity—the Blood Mosquitoes sieging it—was a good opportunity to accomplish that.

Initially, it was destined that the city would be strewn with corpses, and blood would flow like a river today.

However, due to the timely appearance of Chen Zhongtian, Big Dipper's Saint, he would wipe out the demons in time and save the millions of mortals in the city—an irrefutable deed of beneficence on his part!

Although such a thing would not benefit his Big Dipper Sacred Ground materially, it could allow the sense of belonging of the cities under it to increase.

Meanwhile, Chen Zhongtian, who "saved the people", would definitely be praised by the sect's elders. It may just be symbolic praise, but it was better than nothing!

Thinking till here, Chen Zhongtian was so excited that even his Nascent Soul felt thrilled.

With the Big Dipper Sword in his hands and riding the Star Chariot, he charged toward the densely gathered swarm of Blood Mosquitoes at full speed!

"Starlight from the Ninth Sphere of Heavens, become my sword!

With the Big Dipper as a guide, unleash your everlasting brilliant light!"

The Star Chariot instantly charged into the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes. Chen Zhongtian stood on the chariot upright, and the longsword in his hands released tens of radiant sword auras.

Those sword auras slew countless Blood Mosquitoes, which fell to the ground, showing their impressiveness.

Chen Zhongtian revealed a proud expression, but just as he was about to say something to show off in front of Black Mountain City's residents, he suddenly felt the chariot under him shake violently.

The four Single-Horned Flying Horses started convulsing crazily and let out a tragic neigh in the next second.

"Neighhh~"

Their fur, which was originally as white as snow, turned pitch-black and stood upright as if they were burnt mutts!

It turned out that the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes was too densely packed and blocked the Divine Firmament's Azure Dragon Array, which covered the city.

The four Single-Horned Flying Horses wanted to charge through the blockade of Blood Mosquitoes, so they did not reduce the speed at all. Thus, after they penetrated the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes like a hot knife cutting through butter, they directly collided with the array's protective barrier.

These four Single-Horned Flying Horses were of the most supreme-grade Star Unicorns species. They had an exceptional appearance, and their speed could be compared to those in the peak of the Golden Core stage.

However, their battle power was only equal to cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage's peak, or even weaker.

Meanwhile, after Shen Tian had subdued Supremacy Blood Mosquito, the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes outside the city had turned even crazier. Thus, Shen Tian could only activate the Azure Dragon Array without any other choice to the maximum output, not holding back anymore.

Even a Golden Core Third Refinement Stage cultivator would be severely injured by forcibly barging into a lightning array formation, at full power, not to mention just four Single-Horned Flying Horses.

When Chen Zhongtian realized that and wanted to save the four Single-Horned Flying Horses, those four supreme-grade flying horses with noble bloodlines had already started to emit the nice scent of meat...

Yeap, it's quite a fragrant scent!

Chen Zhongtian was in unimaginable pain due to his loss!

One had to know those were Single-Horned Flying Horses with pure Star Unicorn bloodlines as they were direct descendants.

They may be in the Foundation Establishment stage, but they had the potential to reach the Golden Core stage. If they were fed well, they might even reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if these four Single-Horned Flying Horses were still in their infancy stage, Chen Zhongtian had spent a large amount of money to barely be able to buy them. It was all to rear and feed them so they could grow up in the future. Then, he would be able to ride them and go out, showing off as a Saint.

Thus, the opposition voices in the sacred ground would also decrease greatly.

Naturally, Chen Zhongtian had never expected for his horses to collide with an array just after buying them for a few days!

The four treasured horses were all burnt by the lightning until they were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside—their delicious scent could be smelled from 10 miles away.

No matter how positive Chen Zhongtian was, he knew that there was no hope to save his treasured horses. He could only be full of tears...

Not only so, the chariot, which Chen Zhongtian had specially decorated gorgeously, had directly collided with the maximum-output Azure Dragon Array.

Originally, the Azure Dragon Array was already struggling to endure the Blood Mosquitoes' attacks. Now that a chariot, made of Spirit Gold, collided with it at such speed, the whole Azure Dragon array shattered, and the chariot also exploded into pieces by the last remaining power of the array!

Upon sensing the resentful stares from the people in the city, Chen Zhongtian was completely astounded.

Who am I? Where am I? Why is there an array here!?

My horses! Why are they burnt and emitting a fragrant scent!?

Chen Zhongtian stood there blankly and doubted himself.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian did not have that much time as the Blood Mosquitoes' swarm had already entered the city. If those Blood Mosquitoes, which could cover the sky, had their way with the mortals in the city, then there would be corpses strewn everywhere!

Although he could defeat Supremacy Blood Mosquito head-on, he could only protect himself in the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes.

In a short time, 100,000 to 1,000,000 Blood Mosquitoes had surged into the city. Even he found it impossible to annihilate them all in an instant.

Shen Tian started to rack his brain and suddenly knocked the hammer onto Supremacy Blood Mosquito's head.

"I know you definitely have a way to make all these Blood Mosquitoes retreat. Hurry up. If not, I'll kill you now!"

At present, not only had the Divine Devouring Vine tied up Supremacy Blood Mosquito's head like a rice dumpling, but it had also entered his mouth and restrained his Nascent Soul.

He looked at Shen Tian with resentment and sent a message using his spiritual power. "As long as you swear not to kill me, I will immediately make them leave."

Shen Tian's mouth twitched. "Heh, you still dare to threaten me? Alright, I swear that as long as you order all these Blood Mosquitoes to leave, I won't kill you!"

Supremacy Blood Mosquito thought for a moment. "You can't order other people to kill me either!"

Shen Tian hammered Supremacy Blood Mosquito's head. "Why do you have so f*cking much to say? I swear, do it already!

"Make those Blood Mosquitoes scram, or else I'll kill you and then wipe out those Blood Mosquitoes. At most, I'll have to use my ace up my sleeve!"

You still f*cking have an ace up your sleeve!?

Supremacy Blood Mosquito fell in despair upon hearing Shen Tian's words.

You're just a Foundation Establishment cultivator! Forget the fact that you can defeat a Golden Core cultivator, you still have two extraordinary items—Absolute Water and Spirit Wood—on you. Coupled with your Divine armor and that sword token, even a Nascent Soul cultivator could be killed by you. And you're still telling me these are not all of your aces up your sleeves?

Supremacy Blood Mosquito admitted defeat—what else could he do after encountering such a powerful and ruthless person?

"Remove that vine from my mouth first. Otherwise, I won't be able to use my mystic technique."

Shen Tian nodded and released the Divine Devouring Vine, which was binding Supremacy Blood Mosquito. However, he did not fully trust Supremacy Blood Mosquito, so he still aimed his Lotus Shooting Gun and eight Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns at Supremacy Blood Mosquito.

If he dared to try anything, Shen Tian would swiftly kill him.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito did not try anything as he used his divine consciousness to release a special wave.

The Blood Mosquitoes that had charged into the city and were fighting with the cultivators and mortals suddenly stopped attacking. They flapped their wings and flew outside the city, disappearing without a trace.

Shen Tian nodded in satisfaction. Then his Divine Devouring Vine stuffed itself into Supremacy Blood Mosquito's mouth again and reached the area between his brows to tightly bind his Nascent Soul.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito, "..."

He took a deep breath. "Didn't you say that you wouldn't kill me as long as I made those Blood Mosquitoes leave?"

Shen Tian rolled his eyes. "Did I kill you?"

Supremacy Blood Mosquito's mouth, which was stuffed full by the Divine Devouring Vine, twitched. What Shen Tian said did seem to make sense.

F*ck! Why didn't I force this kid to let me go just now?

Damn it! He's actually playing such a low-level word game with me!

Humans are indeed cunning! It's good that I still have something prepared!

Supremacy Blood Mosquito forced a smile and said, "Immortal Senior, don't you want to know what treasure is that reddish-gold paper?"

Shen Tian's mouth twitched. He already knew what was going to happen, so he had no anticipation at all. "I don't wanna know."

Supremacy Blood Mosquito was stunned. He laughed dryly and said, "Immortal Senior, please hear me out! I promise that you will definitely be interested after you listen.

"This piece of reddish-gold paper is not a normal item. It's the supreme technique, Blood God Sutra, that Great Sage Blood River had relied on to rule over the entire Eastern Wilderness and become famous 10,000 years ago.

Shen Tian was bored. "Oh! So what?"

Supremacy Blood Mosquito nearly went crazy.

Just who is this person!?

F*ck!

Great Sage Blood River was a Great Sage! Only a Sage that succeeded in transcending the Nine-Lightning Tribulation could have the qualifications to be named as a Great Sage!

Also, Great Sage Blood River was a presence who had unparalleled fame and was highly distinguished even amongst other Great Sages. He actually does not care about the ace up the sleeve of such a super-powerful being? Is it possible that he is the Thearch's son!?

Supremacy Blood Mosquito cursed in his heart, but to escape, he still forcibly said, "Immortal Senior, you might be unaware, but this Blood God Sutra is extraordinary. It can split your consciousness and blood to create a clone.

"In addition, the aura of the clone is exactly the same as yours. It's equal to having another life that the original consciousness can completely control!

"Even a cultivator with a cultivation level much higher than you would find it hard to differentiate. That Golden Core Blood Mosquito you killed earlier was actually my clone."

As Supremacy Blood Mosquito spoke, he stared straight at Shen Tian's face, hoping to be able to see Shen Tian reveal a surprised and moved expression.

If that was so, then he would have room for negotiations as the Blood God Sutra had a total of two pages. The page he had previously in his hand was just the foundation, and there was another page hidden in a place only he knew.

As long as Shen Tian showed interest in this peerless inheritance, Supremacy Blood Mosquito could take advantage of the chance to make Shen Tian swear again.

This time, he had to try his best to guarantee that Shen Tian would not be able to take advantage of him anymore!

However, what made Supremacy Blood Mosquito disappointed was that Shen Tian only took out a rosary bead and kept on fiddling with it. His expression was cold, as if he was not at all interested in the Blood God Sutra Supremacy Blood Mosquito had mentioned.

Finally, when Supremacy Blood Mosquito was about to fall in despair yet again, Shen Tian gradually opened his mouth.

"You just want to tell me that the *Blood God Sutra'*s page I have is incomplete. And, as long as I swear to let you go, you'll give me the remaining Blood God Sutra, right?"

Supremacy Blood Mosquito was astounded. "How did you know?"

Shen Tian smiled mysteriously.

Why do I know? That's because I have seen this scene already!

Shen Tian had seen in Chen Zhongtian's halo that the latter had encountered Supremacy Blood Mosquito, who was about to annihilate Black Mountain City.

Before Chen Zhongtian reached the Nascent Soul stage, he had been in the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage. Thus, even though he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, his strength was not something Supremacy Blood Mosquito could even start to compare.

He had easily killed the Golden Core Blood Mosquito Demon clone and detected Supremacy Blood Mosquito, who was hiding in a corner.

After Chen Zhongtian had defeated and captured Supremacy Blood Mosquito, the latter used the Blood God Sutra to negotiate.

In the end, Chen Zhongtian had agreed to Supremacy Blood Mosquito's request and let him go. Of course, the precondition was that Supremacy Blood Mosquito had to swear he would not teach the Blood God Sutra to anyone!

Shen Tian would not comment on the fact that Chen Zhongtian had let Supremacy Blood Mosquito—a demon that had committed numerous evil deeds and killed countless people—go for a peerless mystic technique.

Nonetheless, since Shen Tian already knew where the *Blood God Sutra'*s other page was, he naturally would not be tempted by Supremacy Blood Mosquito's conditions and let him go!

"Jiu'er, finish him!"

A mournful gorgeous female ghost gradually appeared from within the Hariti Rosary Beads. She held the Lotus Shooting Gun in her hands and stabbed it between the Supremacy Blood Mosquito's brows vigorously, activating the array formation!

Boom!

A Penetration Weapon Pin directly pierced through Supremacy Blood Mosquito's Nascent Soul, tearing it into pieces.

Supremacy Blood Mosquito was filled with resentment and hatred. "You! You swore that you wouldn't order other people to kill me!"

Shen Tian turned to look at the Black Mountain City coldly.

Although the order to make the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes leave was timely, quite the number of people had been injured or died within the city in just that few minutes.

While smelling the scent of blood in the air, Shen Tian fiddled with the Hariti Rosary Beads coldly.

"Jiu'er, you tell him."

The red-clothed female ghost slowly pulled back the Lotus Shooting Gun with a smile that made her seem perfectly harmless.

"Jiu'er is not a person. I am a female ghost."

"You! Humans are too cunning!"

Supremacy Blood Mosquito widened his eyes, his consciousness rapidly disappearing. He did not know even until death why such an extremely precious supreme inheritance as the Blood God Sutra did not move the human in front of him!

Is it possible that in this idiot's mind, the lives of those mortals are more important than a peerless immortal sutra?

Unfortunately, Supremacy Blood Mosquito's doubts would never be cleared. He still died in the end, under Jiu'er's gun, his grudge never to be resolved.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Zhongtian was completely dumbstruck. He watched everything that unfolded in Black Mountain City blankly, and he was having a headache at that moment.

What did I do?

There's originally a lightning array formation protecting Black Mountain City? I actually rode the Star Chariot and directly destroyed the array?

Not only did my four Single-Horned Flying Horses die in vain, and my Spirit Gold chariot get destroyed, but I also caused injuries and deaths?

F*ck!

Why didn't I use my spiritual power to examine the road before charging!? If the people in the sacred ground hear about this, won't I become a joke?

Chen Zhongtian broke down upon hearing the countless whispers and seeing the people's pointing fingers in the city.

What's worse, Chen Zhongtian suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It's him! It's him! It's actually him!

In that instant, Chen Zhongtian's mental breakdown... worsened!
