Chapter 191: The Big Dipper Saint... Also Cracked!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Big Dipper Saint saw Shen Tian.
Currently, everyone flocked around Shen Tian as he had killed Supremacy Blood Mosquito.
The surrounding young men looked at Shen Tian with eyes full of admiration while countless women looked at Shen Tian with eyes full of tender affection.
Chen Zhongtian instantly turned green with envy.
This glory and respect was originally treatment he should have received instead!
Because I was a tad late, I lost the chance to increase my reputation just like that!? Why aren't you, the Divine Firmament Saint, at your sacred ground, cultivating? You suddenly had to run here, a land affiliated to my Big Dipper Sacred Ground!?
Naturally, Chen Zhongtian was filled with resentment.
Jiu'er, who was beside Shen Tian, frowned. "Master, that powerful person has a lot of resentment."
Resentment?
Shen Tian looked at Chen Zhongtian, and his lips twitched.
F*ck! You are the one that drove a chariot right up to my array! It's already very good that I don't make you take responsibility for breaking my array and ask for compensation. Yet, you still resent me!?
However, upon seeing that Chen Zhongtian's originally golden halo had emitted red light now, Shen Tian felt that he should be broadminded and the bigger person.
Things like provoking or attracting hatred were just too childish. The best course of action was to retreat after obtaining benefits, then secretly develop and grow stronger!
Since Black Mountain City's calamity had been resolved and he had already obtained Supremacy Blood Mosquito's sutra, Shen Tian decided to leave. Unexpectedly, before doing so, he suddenly saw a frail figure rushing toward Chen Zhongtian.
"Damn bast*rd! Initially, there was no danger anymore, yet you just had to destroy the array! Shameless traitor! Return my mother's life to me!"
That was an early-stage Foundation Establishment young cultivator.
In Black Mountain City, he could be said to have a rare cultivation talent, no weaker than Shen Ao. Nonetheless, before Chen Zhongtian, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator was just too weak!
Chen Zhongtian's eyes betrayed a shred of ruthlessness. It had not been long since he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, so he was in a state in which his emotions were the most unstable.
Shen Tian had already ruffled his feathers a few days ago, and he even snatched his opportunity to increase his reputation today. Not to mention he had crashed his chariot.
Chen Zhongtian was still feeling aggrieved and upset!
What's worse, his mental demons were about to appear too.
Under such circumstances, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator actually dared to attack and provoke him?
You're courting death! Do you think I don't dare to kill people?
Blood rushed up in Chen Zhongtian's head. He gradually lifted his right hand and pointed it at that young man. In an instant, the young man, charging at Chen Zhongtian with Sword Kinesis Flight, was locked in the air by an invisible force.
Chen Zhongtian coldly flicked his finger, and a starlight sword aura was suddenly shot out, aiming at the young man's dantian. If that sword aura landed, even if that young man could survive, his dantian would shatter. He would become a cripple.
The young man glared at Chen Zhongtian—he did not fear death at all!
He and his mother depended on each other. The young man had found an opportunity to cultivate after much difficulty, allowing him to provide a good life to his mother.
Unfortunately, they had encountered the Blood Mosquitoes attacking the city. The young man had been on the city wall, risking his life to kill the enemies all this time. After much difficulty, he had managed to last until Shen Tian caught Supremacy Blood Mosquito, a breath away from resolving this calamity.
However, such an idiot riding on his chariot had to appear and crash against the Divine Firmament Azure Dragon Array, directly destroying it and allowing the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes in!
The young man's mother had also been near the city walls... so it didn't take long for a Blood Mosquito to directly suck half of her whole body's blood.
Seeing that his mother was on the verge of death and could not be saved at all, the young man fell into despair. Thus, how was it possible that he could continue enduring?
If I die, then I die! It's a pity I am incompetent and unable to take revenge for my mother! If there's a next life, I'll definitely take revenge!
Liang Chen gradually closed his eyes, but the impending bout of pain did not come.
A golden flash of lightning appeared in front of Liang Chen and crushed Chen Zhongtian's starlight sword aura.
Shen Tian, in his Longyuan Divine Armor, had a gentle smile on his face. "Big Dipper Saint, you don't need to be this ruthless, right?"
Chen Zhongtian's face turned serious as Shen Tian's Mixed Lightning Fist's timing was quite accurate. It was not that simple to intercept a swift sword aura in mid-air.
At least, one had to have a strong judgment ability!
Chen Zhongtian said coldly, "This person offended me, a Nascent Soul cultivator, and attacked me. It can't be that the Saint of Divine Firmament wants to protect him?"
Senior Brother replied helplessly, "This person just lost his close kin. It's natural for him to be angry. Senior Brother Chen, could you give me face and spare his life?"
Frankly speaking, Chen Zhongtian's mindset of being superior was extremely common in every world. Superior people did not need to care about the normal people at the bottom.
However, Shen Tian had not transmigrated for long, and his values were different from Chen Zhongtian.
Of course, there was another reason—the halo above Liang Chen's head was red with a green light. Although the current Shen Tian did not consider such a halo as being blessed by providence, there was no need to let go of a chance to form a good relationship with him!
Shen Tian stretched out his right hand and unleashed his Divine Devouring Vine to pull Liang Chen from mid-air, freeing him.
Immediately after, Shen Tian asked, "How do I call you? Is your mother still breathing? I might be able to heal her."
Liang Chen was moved to tears. "Immortal Senior! My mother is still breathing. If Immortal Senior can save my mother, I'm willing to become your slave to repay your kindness!"
Shen Tian stored his armor and followed Liang Chen down the city walls. He saw a woman around 50 years old lying beside the city wall, her face as pale as a white sheet. She had a visible injury—something had almost pierced through her body—but only a bit of fresh blood flowed out.
That was because the Blood Mosquito had already sucked large amounts of fresh blood, resulting in her critical injury. The middle-aged woman was already hanging by a thread, and she might stop breathing any moment.
The scene touched Shen Tian. He hurriedly approached the middle-aged woman and poured in his Spirit Qi to stabilize her breathing.
Liang Chen looked at Shen Tian and the middle-aged woman nervously. He knew that his mother had already lost too much blood. Even if Shen Tian kept on channeling his Spirit Qi, his mother could at most survive for another short period.
In order to save his mother, they would have to use precious spirit herbs. However, how could he obtain such a level of spirit herb in a short period?
He could only rely on Shen Tian now.
As Shen Tian poured his Spirit Qi into the middle-aged woman's body and roughly understood the extent of her injury, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The Blood Mosquito's proboscis had pierced through the middle-aged woman's body. Although this was indeed a fatal injury to a mortal, it was not difficult for Shen Tian to save her.
He took out a small jade bottle, removed the cork, manipulated a drop of Nirvana Holy Liquid, and fed that drop of Nirvana Holy Liquid to the middle-aged woman.
Chen Zhongtian witnessed the whole thing and started doubting himself.
Soon, the middle-aged woman's body radiated a bright green light, and the originally hideous injury healed at speed visible to the naked eye.
Meanwhile, her face, which was as pale as a white sheet, recovered rapidly, while new blood was created swiftly. Even her originally white hair rapidly turned black. It seemed as if she had turned 20 younger in an instant!
Exhilaration filled Liang Chen. He knelt in front of Shen Tian and wanted to kowtow. "Thank you for saving my mother, Immortal Senior! In the future, I am willing to be your slave to repay you, Immortal Senior!"
Shen Tian revealed a slight smile. "It's your filial piety that moved me. If you want to thank someone, then thank yourself. Everything happens according to one's destiny. Maybe you're fated with me!"
As he spoke, Shen Tian released an invisible force, which lifted the kneeling Liang Chen.
To be honest, the feeling of pretending to be an extraordinary expert was quite good—thumbs up!
However, at that moment, Chen Zhongtian's bitter voice echoed from the sky.
"Senior Brother Shen! This is the Nirvana Holy Liquid obtained from a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator undergoing Nirvana. You actually fed it to a mere mortal!?"
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?"
What a familiar gaze, familiar words, and familiar heavy blow...
The scene that Chen Zhongtian had witnessed at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground suddenly replayed itself in his head once again. He felt that his head was in a little pain, and his Nascent Soul seemed to be about to crack!
What a damned Son of Providence! He is so willful! I'm so jealous!
At that moment, more and more people crowded around Shen Tian, and they all knelt down in front of him.
"Please have mercy, Immortal Senior! Please help me save my father. I'm willing to be your servant and do anything you order to repay you, Immortal Senior!"
"Let me go first! My daughter is already on the verge of death! I beg you, Immortal Senior, please save her. I am willing to use my life in exchange for my daughter's!"
"Immortal Senior, please save my dog! My dog helped me to block the fatal blow!"
Shen Tian sighed.
Frankly speaking, upon seeing so many people begging for his help, he became softhearted.
Never mind. Not much of the Nirvana Holy Liquid will be wasted, anyway. I'll just consider it as accumulating merit on my part.
At that thought, Shen Tian flicked the jade bottle, and a small ball of Nirvana Holy Liquid instantly shot out of the bottle, surging toward all the injured people's bodies.
Even when the Blood Mosquitoes had breached the city, the ones that had stayed close to the city walls were either warriors resisting against the demons or people protecting their families.
Although Shen Tian was making a loss by using this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid to save people, he had a clear conscience!
The drops of Nirvana Holy Liquid entered every wounded person's body under Shen Tian's control, healing their injuries. There was even an abundance of life essence that allowed every injured person to obtain significant benefits from it.
In an instant, echoing words of gratitude resounded nonstop.
"No wonder he's an Immortal Senior from Big Dipper City. He's really compassionate."
"No, no, no! Didn't you hear just now? Immortal Senior is the Divine Firmament Saint, while the person that destroyed the array is the Big Dipper Saint!"
"Divine Firmament Saint? Does that mean Immortal Senior is not from the Big Dipper Sacred Ground? He went through all this trouble to help us slay the demons and solve our problem? Even at the cost of using all those treasures?"
"I'm moved, I'm too moved! The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is really kind and compassionate, unlike a certain sacred ground!"
"I agree! I agree! If not for this Immortal Senior passing by here when the Blood Mosquitoes attacked, by the time the Big Dipper Saint arrived, even our corpses would already be cold!"
Other than signing praises for Shen Tian, numerous people were whispering and making sarcastic remarks about Chen Zhongtian.
"So ironic! We offer almost half of our income as tax to Big Dipper City, but when things go south, we cannot count on them!"
"Tell you a joke—trust Big Dipper!"
"If not for the Big Dipper Saint destroying the array, not a single soul would have died!"
"My pitiful Rou'er! A Blood Mosquito sucked her blood dry, and not even Immortal Senior's treatment could save her in time! I have to go to Big Dipper City to redress this injustice!"
"Let's go together! I heard my master say long ago that the present Big Dipper Saint is a blockhead. He only knows how to follow behind the Purple Mansion Saint and suck up to him! He's simply bringing shame to the sacred ground!"
"Not only is he incompetent, but he even added to the trouble! More than half of the deceased this time are of his own doing!"
"That's right! The ugly always cause more troubles! Even the Divine Firmament Saint, who is as handsome as a heavenly immortal, walked into the city through the city gates. That guy just had to ride his chariot!"
"Comparisons are odious. They're both Saints, but why is our Saint this useless!?"
"My wife and children have all died! There's no point in living!"
"I want to go to Big Dipper City, spread what happened here today, and support the sacred ground's other true disciples to overthrow this incompetent ugly Saint!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Humans were creatures that could be easily influenced by emotions.
The Blood Mosquitoes had caused quite a number of deaths and wounded many others after the array's destruction. Since the culprit, Supremacy Blood Mosquito, had already kicked the bucket, the remaining anger was completely vented out on Chen Zhongtian.
Many people, whose kin had died because of the Blood Mosquitoes and Shen Tian could not save in time, hated Chen Zhongtian. Although most of them felt indignant but dared not speak out, plenty of people were thinking of ways to take revenge!
They wanted to spread what happened today to the best of their abilities and let more people know how incompetent this Big Dipper Saint was. Even if they could not make Chen Zhongtian pay a heavy price, they had to disgust him!
Numerous people throughout Black Mountain City were people whispering, either praising Shen Tian or cursing Chen Zhongtian. They all thought they were just complaining in secret, but what was Chen Zhongtian's cultivation?
He was a Nascent Soul cultivator, meaning his five senses were extremely powerful. He was slightly curious, so he used his divine consciousness to listen to their conversations, only to hear countless people cursing and calling him names, such as "idiot", "ugly Saint", "incompetent Saint", "sucking up to the Purple Mansion Saint" and so on...
The harsher the words were, the more they cursed!
The more what one didn't want to hear, the more they mentioned that!
What's worse, they got increasingly excited the more they complained...
Chen Zhongtian was so enraged his whole body was trembling from anger, and he spat blood out of his mouth!
Immediately after, Chen Zhongtian's expression changed dramatically because he could feel his originally unstable Nascent Soul becoming more erratic—a crack unexpectedly appeared too!
That's right—at that moment, Chen Zhongtian's Nascent Soul also cracked!
Eh? Why was the word "also" used...
"Senior Brother Shen, I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. If there's a chance in the future, I'll entertain you, Senior Brother."
The Nascent Soul's crack was not something insignificant. He might suffer from mental demons, which would cause him to have schizophrenia, or at worse, he might directly die. Thus, he had to hurry and find a safe place to enter seclusion to stabilize his Nascent Soul, as well as find ways to mend the crack.
At the very least, he had to prevent the crack from getting bigger.
After hurriedly bidding farewell to Shen Tian, Chen Zhongtian rode his Big Dipper Sword and dashed into the distance as if he was escaping.
Shen Tian narrowed his eyes while watching Chen Zhongtian's departing figure. He basically confirmed that the providence of the person whose fortuitous opportunity was snatched would indeed decrease.
Also, as one's providence decreased, that person would encounter unlucky things very soon.
Qin Gao and Fang Chang had been like that, and now Chen Zhongtian was the same too.
Shen Tian knew that if he gave a copy of the Blood God Sutra to Chen Zhongtian, the latter's providence would definitely increase greatly.
However, Shen Tian was curious about what would happen if he did not give the Blood God Sutra to Chen Zhongtian!
What will happen next?
Will Chen Zhongtian continue to be unlucky, or will he slowly recover his luck?
Hmm, this is an important new research topic.
Since the experiment was an ongoing one, Shen Tian thought of asking Li Yunfeng to pay more attention to gossip pertaining to Chen Zhongtian in the future.
Of course, these were all for the future.
At present, the main mission was to obtain the Blood God Sutra's remaining page as soon as possible. This mystic art was able to create a Blood God Clone by splitting the cultivator's soul and blood that could not be easily differentiated from the real.
To Shen Tian, who was about to enter the Primordial Battlefield, it was quite useful!

Chapter 192: No Other Choice, Can't Endure, Too Hot!
After bidding farewell to the masses, which were reluctant for Shen Tian to leave, Shen Tian departed.
What's worth mentioning was that he had an additional gain—Liang Chen—after saving the Black Mountain City's people.
Liang Chen just had to hang onto Shen Tian and repay him by becoming his servant as Shen Tian had saved his mother.
Shen Tian was extremely troubled because of that.
Just what could you do for me?
Feeling resigned, Shen Tian pretended to be cold and told Liang Chen to enter the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. If he could join the sacred ground, that meant he would still be fated with Shen Tian.
To Foundation Establishment cultivators like Liang Chen, it was not simple to head to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground from Black Mountain City. Nevertheless, given Liang Chen's providence, if he really wanted to go to Divine Firmament, it would not be too dangerous for him.
If Liang Chen could really arrive at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and join it due to Shen Tian, given his almost red halo and talent, he would be treated as a genius in the sacred ground.
Geniuses were always in demand.
The sacred ground's prosperity would not be feasible without peerless golden-halo geniuses, such as Zhang Yunxi and Zhang Yunting. Still, it could not do without the mainstay of red-halo geniuses either.
Of course, the more people blessed by providence, the better!
Shen Tian left Black Mountain City, flew to the north, following the scene in his memory. After roughly traveling straight for 300 miles, he successfully found a mountain valley. That made him even more certain that the reason he had been lost on his way to Black Mountain City from Big Dipper City was the map—it was too vague!
See? Now that I have a standard map, I found the place accurately!
This was an extremely barren mountain, and other than weeds, almost no living things could be seen. It was as if everything with vitality had been sucked dry!
It was not rare to encounter such a situation in the cultivation world. Plenty of poor cultivators with no Spirit Stones could only resort to setting up a Spirit Qi Gathering Array, which would gather the thin Spirit Qi in the surroundings to allow one to cultivate.
Of course, it was very troublesome to set up the array, and it would destroy the surrounding ecosystem.
At the same time, the effects paled in comparison with Spirit Stones' efficiency, so the cultivators of major sects would avoid doing such embarrassing things. It would disgrace the secs if others knew.
Nevertheless, as a demon, Supremacy Blood Mosquito had no inhibitions to do so. He had set up the Spirit Qi Gathering Array, gathering the Spirit Qi of an area spanning for tens of miles, to cultivate.
Even so, that was not enough to satisfy his and the Blood God Clone's consumption during cultivation. Otherwise, Supremacy Blood Mosquito would not have taken a risk in desperation and tried to wipe out Black Mountain City. He had wanted to use human blood to help increase the clone's cultivation level.
This barren mountain may be outrageously vast, but Shen Tian was not worried as he knew exactly where Supremacy Blood Mosquito had hidden the *Blood God Sutra'*s second page.
Shen Tian used Gun Kinesis Flight and quickly stopped at the hidden valley entrance, his eyes burning with passion.
The mountain was filled with Spirit Qi. Everything in the vicinity was lush green with flowers, whose fragrance pervaded the area—a stark contrast to the barren mountain's surrounding environment.
This place was evidently where Supremacy Blood Mosquito spent his cultivation sessions.
A simple array formation was still at the mountain valley entrance, emitting a blood-red light.
Shen Tian took a deep breath. His Longyuan Divine Armor appeared on him again, and the five types of lightning energy gathered within his hand.
"70%! Mixed—Lightning—Fist!"
Boom!
The golden lightning ball soared through the sky, and a pillar of light followed behind it. It was like a long golden spear that pierced into this hidden mountain valley with crushing force.
Although the array barrier was extremely tough, it could not be compared to the long spear's powerful piercing force.
The blood-red light was shattered and scattered in all directions. Shen Tian followed the Mixed Lightning Fist and directly charged into the mountain.
Whoosh!
I'm finally in.
Shen Tian could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Using 70% power of Lightning Fist was not that hard.
He might be a little tired, but he was far more relaxed than using 100% power.
"Although Supremacy Blood Mosquito was a Nascent Soul demon, the power of his array formation was actually this weak."
Shen Tian's mouth twitched. People would normally set up array formations that corresponded with one's strength or even stronger. Thus, if one could directly make a move, why would they still spend the effort to set up the array?
Supremacy Blood Mosquito's defensive array could at most stop Golden Core Third Refinement Stage cultivators. One had to say that the human race indeed had a unique advantage over other arts, such as creating pills and setting up array formations.
After destroying the array formation at the entrance, Shen Tian walked into the mountain valley. It might be because Supremacy Blood Mosquito had been extremely confident in his array formation that he had not set up anything else in the mountain valley.
Of course, it might also be that there was basically nothing valuable in the mountain valley.
As compared to the rich Celestial Water Grotto-Heaven, the mountain valley in which Supremacy Blood Mosquito cultivated was extremely simple and crude. There was only a small house in the middle of the mountain valley. It was also the Spirit Qi Gathering Array's focal point, so one could absorb the most Spirit Qi there.
Shen Tian did not walk toward that small house. Instead, he headed to the cliff at the side. He shot the Divine Devouring Vine out of his right hand, and as if a long emerald whip, it pierced into the cliff wall, stirring it up crazily.
Shortly after, deep holes were plowed on that cliff wall, and crimson light shone from within. It was a red page, completely the same in appearance as the Blood God Sutra page Shen Tian had obtained from Supremacy Blood Mosquito.
As Shen Tian stored this piece of Blood God Sutra page, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Immediately after, he used Gun Kinesis Flight and left.
Unexpectedly, he almost lost his way...
Shen Tian finally stopped on a mountain, used his Divine Devouring Vine to burrow into the ground, and created an enclosed Cave Abode about 100 meters deep into the ground.
Don't ask what if there was no oxygen—cultivators breathed in Spirit Qi!
After setting up a Presence Concealing Array in the surroundings, Shen Tian wore the Phoenix Feather Mask. When he confirmed that nothing would go wrong, he carefully took out the Blood God Sutra's pages.
The two blood-red pages were placed in front of Shen Tian, looking extremely light. However, that was not the case as each page actually weighed hundreds of kilograms. In addition, their materials' quality was definitely extraordinary, or else the page would have been unable to block the Sword Master Token's strike at full strength.
Shen Tian felt that if he could attach these two papers to his chest, they could act as breastplates...
As he circulated his cultivation technique, Shen Tian forced out two drops of blood from his right forefinger. Those two drops of blood dripped onto the two red paper respectively and were instantly absorbed.
Shen Tian suddenly felt as if the whole world was spinning, and the scenery in front of him instantly turned into a boundless sea of blood.
In that sea of blood, Shen Tian felt as if he could see countless living beings floating and sinking.
At the same time, obscure and mysterious incantations of the cultivation technique surged into Shen Tian's head, deeply engraved into his memory.
Two mystic arts appeared from the *Blood God Sutra'*s two pages, respectively.
The first page of the Blood God Sutra recorded the Great Blood Creation Technique, and its abbreviation was Blood Technique.
Using this mystic art could allow one to use their blood to create a perfectly compatible body with oneself. The aura, core, and everything else were exactly the same as that person's true body—it just did not have a consciousness.
Meanwhile, its cultivation level depended on how much blood one used—the more blood used, the stronger the body's cultivation level. At most, it could reach 70% of one's cultivation level!
Of course, if one was reluctant to use too much blood, they could first create a weaker clone. They could then use other people's blood to enhance the clone's strength and make it grow stronger swiftly.
The disadvantage was that a clone that absorbed others' blood would not be completely compatible. It could at most possess 30% of the cultivator's strength.
Supremacy Blood Mosquito had planned to let his Blood Mosquito Demon Clone use the people's blood in Black Mountain City to increase its strength. Or else, his blood alone would not have been enough!
Meanwhile, the second page of the Blood God Sutra recorded the Great Soul Separation Technique, and its abbreviation was Soul Technique.
By using this mystic technique, one could separate a small piece of the cultivator's soul and place it into the clone formed by the Blood Technique.
Thus, the cultivator would be able to control the clone through their soul fragment. Such a soul was a little like a puppet, and it was called—Blood God's Son!
The clone created through the Blood God Sutra's mystic art was fundamentally different from the Soul Manifestation in the Soul Formation stage.
Firstly, the Soul Manifestation of Soul Formation stage was not a pure clone—it was more like Dao's embodiment.
The number of Dao clones one could manifest depended on how many Daos one was enlightened in.
Meanwhile, the Blood God Sutra did not limit the number of Blood God's Son clones one could create. As long as one did not fear consuming all of their blood and suffering soul exhaustion, they could continue creating Blood God's Son non-stop.
Secondly, Dao Soul Manifestations must merge with the Soul Formation cultivators when they reached late-stage, completely becoming one. Only then could one break through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
Meanwhile, the Blood God's Son clones did not have such a restriction, and they could combine or split from the main body at any time. Even after surviving the tribulation and becoming a Sage, one would still be able to use this mystic technique.
Thirdly, the Soul Formation cultivator's Soul Manifestation was the Dao's embodiment, so it was vital to the main body. Once it was destroyed, the Soul Formation cultivator's strength would decrease greatly, and the cultivator's understanding of that Dao would crumble.
Meanwhile, for the Blood God's Son, after it was created, the main body would suffer from a lack of blood and a portion of the soul, which resulted in one's strength decreasing.
Nonetheless, as one continued to cultivate and replenish the lacking blood and soul, the main body's strength would recover. Therefore, even if the Blood God's Son clone was killed in the future, it would not really affect the main body's strength.
In a way, the Blood God's Son clone was more like a tool.
Finally, the aura of the Soul Formation cultivator's Soul Manifestation was obviously different. It possessed only a portion of the main body's aura, so other Soul Formation cultivators could easily differentiate it.
After it was killed, it would also automatically disappear and not leave any corpse.
Meanwhile, the Blood God's Son clone was different, as it was a body created from the main body's blood.
After it was killed, it would leave a corpse identical to the main body. Thus, when one encountered danger and was being hunted down, they would totally use the Blood God's Son clone to attract the attention.
No matter if it self-exploded or risked its life to cover a retreat, it would die a heroic death. The enemy might even praise it—"I respect you for being a man."
Naturally, the real body would have long hidden in safety. It was as safe as it could get.
Besides the true self, no one would know whether the one that died was a clone!
Extremely safe!
,000 years ago, Great Sage Blood River had relied on these two mystic techniques to go wherever and do whatever he wanted in the whole Eastern Wilderness.
He had crazily created Blood God's Sons and relied on these clones that did not fear death to provoke sacred grounds and flirt with Fairies. He had been extremely arrogant!
Each time powerful human cultivators had made a move, they would think that they had killed Great Sage Blood River.
However, in just a few days, a new Great Sage Blood River would appear once again.
At the time period when he had been his cockiest, he had even dared to sneak into the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground and steal their 12th Stage Merit Golden Lotus.
Although the clone had failed in the end, it had actually sucked until a great amount of the Merit Golden Lotus essence had been lost. As such, the 12th Stage Merit Golden Lotus had fallen to the 9th Stage, only to recover after thousands of years.
Even so, Great Sage Blood River had still been able to roam around freely outside!
In the end, he had ended up enraging the West Desert Land of Buddha!
All the cultivators had requested for the Supreme Holy Monk, who had comprehended the Karma Dao, to come out of seclusion.
Although forcibly using the Blood God's Son blood to calculate the place where Great Sage Blood River's main body had been hiding would severely injure the Supreme Holy Monk's core, he had not hesitated to do so.
That day, Bodhisattva shed tears, and Buddha was also enraged.
Nine ancient Buddhist Lords had blocked the entire area and trapped Great Sage Blood River within the Buddha Land using their palms. They had not even tried to ask him to repent and be saved and just sent Great Sage Blood River on his way.
Each of them had directly slammed down their palms and smashed Great Sage Blood River into mashed meat.
Thus, from then, Great Sage Blood River's legend ended there.
This Great Sage gave a perfect example of "No zuo no die[1]"!
In conclusion, this mystic technique was still extremely powerful.
As long as one did not offend those superpowers, one could basically get away with anything using the Blood God's Son clone.
Also, according to the Blood God Sutra's introduction, there were more than just two pages of the Blood God Sutra.
If one could obtain the other pages and obtain the remaining mystic arts, then within a certain radius, the main body's soul could even switch between Blood God's Son clones and the main body freely.
If so, then even if the main body was destroyed, the cultivator's soul could be resurrected in the Blood God's Son clone. Thus, one's ability to survive would increase drastically!
It was a pity that Great Sage Blood River had only obtained the first two pages—even he had not obtained the Blood God Sutra's remaining pages.
Had he collected them, even if the West Desert Land of Buddha made a move, Great Sage Blood River might not die
"Sigh... It's still a pity!"
Shen Tian felt the two pages in his hands and suddenly lost interest in them.
Why tell me something that I can't obtain!?
And it was specifically mentioned at the end of the second page!
Doing such a thing is simply the same as those bast*rd authors that leave their work unfinished!
Shame on them!
Forget it, happiness consists in contentment!
I just have to increase my providence to reach gold halo and above as soon as possible. I don't believe the remaining Blood God Sutra will not just obediently fall into my hands!
Shen Tian stopped thinking of other things and started to comprehend the Blood God Sutra.
What was worth mentioning was that Shen Tian discovered his comprehension skills were quite good, so understanding the Blood God Sutra was quite smooth.
Shortly after, he used a drop of blood mixed with Spirit Qi to form a little red man the size of one's palm.
Not only was this body small, but the aura it emitted was also pitifully weak.
Shen Tian estimated that even if he poured his soul into this small red man, he would at most be able to control it to do things like smashing cockroaches.
Looks like anemia is inevitable.
Shen Tian took a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring and took a deep breath.
I'll just do it! I have 20 more kiloliters of Nirvana Holy Liquid in my Archeon Sea Ring. I don't believe I can't replenish my lost blood!
Shen Tian threw caution to the wind and started drinking big mouthfuls of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
The overabundance of vitality energy exploded within Shen Tian's body, and he tried his best to absorb it all.
The Nan Ming Li Fire in Shen Tina's heart seemed to have gotten fuel and started to burn crazily. Thus, his heart rapidly produced blood.
If Supremacy Blood Mosquito witnessed the speed at which the blood was produced, he would most probably doubt himself.
This was just like the fundamental difference between a player who spent money and the other that didn't.
The whale was just faster, no matter the aspect!
As Shen Tian felt the Qi Aura within him burn more vigorously, his body turned extremely hot—it was as if there was a ball of fire burning.
The Hariti Rosary Beads started to vibrate gently, unable to endure such a boiling hot aura.
Jiu'er's soul controlled the rosary bead and slowly floated to the side. There was no other choice—she couldn't stand it anymore as it was too hot!

Chapter 193: Follow Your Instincts, There's Definitely a Fortuitous Opportunity!
As time passed by minutes and seconds, Shen Tian's face turned even redder while his body emitted extremely dense Qi Aura.
Finally, Shen Tian felt that it was time.
He gently gathered his sword aura and sliced his right wrist. Blood instantly splurged out and emitted the rich, pleasant scent of grass.
If there were demons in the surroundings, they might even mistake him for the flesh of Tripi?aka[1].
Since the Spirit Qi's quality in Shen Tian's blood was just too high-grade, even Supremacies and Perfected Ones would covet him.
Drops of fresh blood merged with the small red man.
Shen Tian activated the Blood God Sutra's mystic technique, and his blood rapidly fused with the small red man.
Shortly after, the small red man turned larger so swiftly that it was hardly visible to the naked eye. The aura it emitted rapidly grew stronger as well.
The color of its body also started to resemble that of a normal person.
The originally palm-sized red became as large as a normal person, but he was naked.
The aura he emitted was extremely similar to Shen Tian, just that his strength was much weaker and there was no soul within.
"Amazing!"
Shen Tian stopped forcing out blood, and the injury on his right hand started healing at speed visible to the naked eye.
He looked quite pale and grimaced in pain.
In that short moment, he had probably lost a large basin of blood. Even if he had Nirvana Holy Liquid to replenish his blood, Shen Tian still felt dizzy, as if he was anemic. Thus, he gulped down another mouthful of Nirvana Holy Liquid and started circulating his cultivation technique to absorb it.
"Sigh... I really should not anyhow let out blood. Even if I have the Nirvana Holy Liquid, it cannot instantly replenish the lost blood!"
The Nirvana Holy Liquid did indeed have the miraculous effect of reviving the dead and growing meat from bone, but time was still needed for it to be absorbed and come into effect.
If Shen Tian had only let out a bit of blood to merge with the clone, then the Nirvana Holy Liquid could have swiftly replenished it. The problem was, it was Shen Tian's first time. Thus, as inexperienced as he was, he carelessly let out too much.
According to Shen Tian's estimation, he had to spend at least a few days absorbing the Nirvana Holy Liquid to replenish the lost blood.
That was to say—he still had to endure the feeling of being anemic for a few days.
Sigh... I really don't want to!
The Blood God Sutra's cultivation difficulty was the harshest amongst all the cultivation techniques.
He spent a few days in order to form a clone.
From Shen Tian's point of view, this body possessed at most 50% of his true ability.
Suppose it had a portion of the extraordinary items' powers, as well as equipment such as the Black Tortoise Shield, Black Tortoise Armor, or Purple Golden Hammer. In that case, it could barely kill a normal Golden Core Perfected One.
Of course, if Shen Tian wanted to make it stronger, he had to feed this body even more blood. Nonetheless, its limit was around 70% of the main body's strength.
Naturally, the premise was that Shen Tian had to control it himself.
After pondering over it, Shen Tian started to cultivate the second mystic technique—Soul Technique.
Frankly speaking, Shen Tian was quite curious since it was a mystic art that enabled him to split a portion of his soul into the clone. Why was it named Great Soul Separation Technique and not Great Soul-Splitting Technique? Why was its abbreviation Soul Technique and not Separation Technique?
However, since the Blood God Sutra's author had named it so, he would just call it like that!
Anyway, Soul Technique was indeed better sounding than Separation Technique.
Shen Tian originally thought that after splitting a portion of his soul, he would definitely have a splitting headache worse than death.
In the end, after he prepared his heart and gnashed his teeth to start trying this mystic art, he discovered that this mystic art was not painful at all.
It's just... that his originally weak body from losing too much blood became even weaker from splitting a part of his soul.
Shen Tian forcibly endured the feeble feeling as his soul separated and that portion of the soul surged into the clone's body.
The clone's body started moving lightly as if it was endowed with life. It was an extremely miraculous feeling, like playing an online game.
Shen Tian could control that portion of the soul at will and thus control the clone.
According to the Dharmic formulation recorded in the Blood God Sutra, the clone shared its five senses with the main body.
That was to say, as long as the connection between the clone and main body was not cut off, then Shen Tian could see the clone's line of sight anytime.
Meanwhile, once the connection was cut, the portion of soul within the clone would disperse, and the clone would become a body that could no longer move.
Such an experience was just too miraculous!
Although Shen Tian was extremely tired, he could not help but want to try out and play with the clone.
Of course, he had to put clothes on this clone.
Otherwise, if he saw a body that was exactly the same as his but naked, he would feel that it was extremely weird.
It's not like it was a blow-up doll.
Shen Tian sized up the Blood God's Son after taking White Dragon clothes made of brocade out of his Archeon Sea Ring and let it put on.
He could not help but exclaim, "Tsk, tsk! No.1, you're really a handsome man."
The Blood God's Son in front of him curved up his lips and revealed a smile that could enchant Saintesses and Fairies. "You're flattering me. It's all because the main body's genes are good. My handsomeness stems from you."
Shen Tian shook his head and laughed bitterly. "Indeed, the clone would not lie."
On top of the Hariti Rosary Beads, which were at the side, a female ghost in red clothes watched Shen Tian conversing with his clone from a distance.
She wanted to remind him, "There's still someone—well, a ghost—looking!"
However... Master's clone is really good-looking, especially with no clothes. Besides me, I don't think other girls have seen Master's body, right!?
Sssss~!
I'm getting excited just from thinking about it!
In an instant, the Hariti Rosary Beads trembled slightly.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian did not know what Jiu'er was thinking.
He did a simple test on controlling the Blood God's Son and felt that it was quite interesting. Nevertheless, though it was quite fun, Shen Tian was simply too tired now. He had to have a good sleep.
Shen Tian activated a mystic art, and the portion of soul in the Blood God's Son returned to him. After that, he stored the body in the Archeon Sea Ring.
The Archeon Sea Ring could not store living things, but after removing his soul, the clone's body could be kept into the Archeon Sea Ring.
One had to say, the Blood God's Son was really a great invention as it was equal to having a second body.
In the future, if Shen Tian reached the Nascent Soul stage, he would not even need to steal another's body—he had a spare body himself.
Also, he would not have only one. He could have a few more spare bodies that could be used once he reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Wait! Why am I thinking of the possibility that my body might be destroyed?
What if they wipe out my Nascent Soul too? Wouldn't it be completely over for me then?
Sssss, this idea is very dangerous!
Never mind. Forget it, that cannot happen. It's better to keep a low profile and stay safe!
In the future, if there are dangerous places, I only need to let the Blood God's Son go and take the risk.
Shen Tian secretly decided before taking a huge soft bed out of his Archeon Sea Ring.
While lying on the bed, he summoned back the Hariti Rosary Beads. As he fondled with the rosary bead, he counted sheep and quickly entered a deep sleep.
There was no choice—he had lost so much blood at once that his condition was extremely weak. Even with the Nirvana Holy Liquid to replenish it, he had to spend time to absorb the Nirvana Holy Liquid!
In the depths of the underground, Shen Tian entered deep sleep.
The rosary bead, which was placed on his chest, was originally black, but now it seemed to be slightly red.
It was unknown how long had passed when Shen Tian slowly awakened. He stretched out and felt that he was in peak condition. The blood he had lost was also replenished, and after the deep sleep, he was completely refreshed.
The Hariti Rosary Beads in his hands were slightly hot.
Shen Tian put away the rosary beads and asked, "Jiu'er, how long did I sleep?"
A soft whisper echoed from the Hariti Rosary Beads. "Master slept with Jiu— slept for three days and three nights."
Sssss~!
Is it that exaggerated? I slept for three days and nights!? Shen Tian's mouth twitched. Then that means I nearly missed the Primordial Battlefield joint training?
Frankly speaking, before obtaining the Blood God Sutra, he had been looking forward to not going.
However, now, no matter how dangerous the Primordial Battlefield was, it's not as if he was going in himself.
With the chance to control the Blood God's Son like controlling a game character to follow those blessed by providence to a dungeon, there was no reason not to follow and freeload their opportunities!
That's right!
It's just unknown if the Blood God's Son was able to see the providence halo and fortuitous opportunity of those blessed by providence.
Hmm, let's try it if I have the chance.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Tian put away the items in the cave and used his Divine Devouring Vine to activate the Ground Burrowing Skill to return above the ground.
He took the Lotus Shooting Gun out of his Archeon Sea Ring, and after a simple calculation of direction, Shen Tian used his divine consciousness to activate Gun Kinesis Flight.
In an instant, he dashed forward by 900 miles straight, then...
He lost his way.
Who knew how other cultivators guaranteed that their direction was accurate without mistake when using Sword Kinesis Flight!?
Shen Tian had already tried his best to follow the direction marked on the map, but he still felt that mountains were all around him, while trees and stones were everywhere. They looked exactly the same without any reference object, so how was it possible for him to differentiate the direction!
At that moment, Shen Tian's Saint Token started vibrating gently.
Shen Tian went wild with joy and hurriedly activated the Saint Token's array formation to communicate with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
A figure that was enshrouded by lightning and heavenly aura appeared before Shen Tian. It was the Sacred Leader.
He looked at Shen Tian, his heavenly aura swaying.
"Tian'er, you make me proud."
"I heard that you saved a city of mortals in the territory under the Big Dipper Sacred Ground, and you even made the Big Dipper Saint lose face.
"Very good. This has already entered Yunfeng's ears, so I sent him to spread it to other sects.
"You've done well. We, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, should have the heart to care for all beings!
"You don't need to care about pressure from the Big Dipper Sacred Ground. I'll shoulder it for you.
"Remember, the sacred ground will always be on your side!"
Shen Tian could not help but be stunned.
OMG!
In just a few days, the things that happened in Black Mountain City had already been spread to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?
Is it possible that Chen Zhongtian has died from being enraged?
So, the reason for his death, the calamity Black Mountain City faced, was then instantly spread everywhere?
No, it shouldn't be. Or else, Master would not have said I had made Chen Zhongtian lose face.
Instead, he would have said—Master is proud of you for enraging the Big Dipper Saint to his death.
I think it's purely because Li Yunfeng this, bast— his speed for gossip is just superhuman!
One had to say that Li Yunfeng was indeed talented—he was able to pay attention to gossip of a far-off land!
No wonder he dared to say that he was Divine Firmament's Know-It-All and that he knew half of the things happening in Eastern Wilderness.
However, the most important thing was to return, so Shen Tian had no other choice but to say, "Master, I seem to have lost my way. Has the Primordial Battlefield joint training between our sacred ground and Jade Lake Sacred Ground begun?
Lost his way?
The Sacred Leader was slightly stunned, then his lightning and heavenly aura started fluctuating.
His firm voice echoed from his heavenly aura.
"It's okay!
"Tian'er, you're the Son of Providence, and you're naturally blessed with great providence. There's no need to hurry if you're lost!
"Don't trust in something like a map, just follow your instincts.
"I believe that you can definitely find the correct way or even encounter a fortuitous opportunity!
"There's no hurry for the Primordial Battlefield joint training. I'll make them wait for you!
"If you really encounter any fortuitous opportunity, then directly contact me using your Saint Token.
"I'll immediately open the spatial door for you to return, anytime!"
After finishing, the Sacred Leader's figure gradually disappeared, leaving Shen Tian stare at his Saint Token. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Follow my instincts? There's definitely a fortuitous opportunity waiting for me?
Master, are you serious?
I'm...
Really not the Son of Providence!

Chapter 194: Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage, Invincible In Eastern Wilderness
Big Dipper's bright stars shone above the Big Dipper Sacred Ground.
Big Dipper's Elders were gathered at the Sacred Leader Mountain's palace, where the Big Dipper Sacred Leader resided.
"What a shame!"
"You, a Saint, actually drove your chariot straight into another's array formation. Are you blind?"
"Hundreds of commoners died because of you, and the Divine Firmament Saint caught you red-handed!"
"Some people are spreading rumors, and more than half of Eastern Wilderness is aware of it. You brought shame to our sacred ground!"
"Chen Zhongtian, not only did you not fulfill the requirements of a Saint, but you have also repeatedly put us to shame. You don't deserve to be the Saint at all!"
"I concur! Chen Zhongtian had lost most of his cultivation and is no longer at Nascent Soul. He is not suitable to be the Saint anymore!"
"Yao Guang, Tian Qu, and Tian Xuan are all talented and hardworking. They are better candidates. Sacred Leader, I propose to replace the Saint!"
"I concur!"
"I concur!"
"I concur!"
"I agree too!"
The Big Dipper Sacred Leader remained calm while listening to the Elders' discussion.
It had been his idea for Chen Zhongtian to make friends with the Purple Mansion Saint. The Elders making noise right now were the Grand Elder's followers.
Although Chen Zhongtian had not committed any serious mistake, he had brought shame to Big Dipper as Shen Tian had caught him, and the rumors were spreading like wildfire.
All the sacred grounds would prefer to preserve their honor even if it would cost the life of a strong cultivator of theirs.
Chen Zhongtian had lost most of his cultivation level, and he had put shame on the sacred ground. Thus, it was natural for these Elders to pick on him at this time.
After all, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground was not as cohesive as it looked!
Although the Sacred Leader had the most power, it did not mean he could do anything.
A loud voice suddenly boomed out of nowhere. "The sacred ground is so casual in replacing your Saint?"
The voice outside of the Sacred Leader Mountain sounded very threatening.
The Elders panicked and swiftly exited the palace.
A golden chariot was hovering over the Sacred Leader Mountain, and it was radiating bright golden light. The chariot was rectangular in shape, and there was a mysterious array formation on all four sides. It seemed like a picture of a Golden Crow.
To their surprise, six Black Flood Dragons were pulling this golden chariot. Each of the dragons emitted a strong aura, and their power exceeded that of a human Nascent Soul cultivator!
The two leading Flood Dragons' second horns were even fully grown. They were no longer just Flood Dragons but true Black Dragons!
Their auras were comparable to peak Nascent Soul cultivators!
Six dragons pulling a chariot?
Whoever was here must be a strong cultivator that they had never encountered before!
Even a Soul Formation Heavenly Venerable could not make such a grand entrance. The dragons were very proud by nature, and they would never pull a chariot unless they were truly tamed.
There was only one person in the entire Eastern Wilderness who could have such power—the Purple Mansion's Saint, Qi Shaoxuan!
Qi Shaoxuan was wearing a Black Dragon Armor and holding a Heaven's Halberd. There was a giant avatar on his back. It was the picture of a youth standing on the clouds, with a black dragon flying beneath him, listening to his commands.
It was the one and only Dragon God avatar!
It was said that such an avatar would only appear after the cultivator had mastered the True Dragon Imperial Sutra from Black Dragon Island in the Northern Sea.
This meant that Qi Shaoxuan had already earned the Northern Sea's Black Dragons' recognition. He could even form a contract with a pure Black Dragon in the future.
When that happened, not only the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground but even the Black Dragon Island would protect him!
This man was not someone to mess with!
After seeing Qi Shaoxuan had come, all the Elders stopped talking.
Everyone knew who he was—the number one on the Golden Core List, as well the one that could potentially become the new Thearch.
As long as no accident happened to Qi Shaoxuan, he would become, at least, a Sage in the future. If everything went right, he could even become the Thearch!
He had a brighter future than all the Elders combined!
The Elders may be Nascent Soul cultivators, but they would not even manage to beat his dragon mounts!
It would be stupid if they continued to talk bad about Chen Zhongtian, who was Qi Shaoxuan's follower!
The Sacred Leader smiled and said, "May I know why the Purple Mansion Saint is here?"
"Hello, Big Dipper's Sacred Leader. I'm only here for two matters today.
"One, I heard that Zhongtian's Nascent Soul was damaged. I'm here to teach him the Nirvana Imperial Sutra to help him heal."
Everyone was shocked!
What a generous act!
Supposedly, the Nirvana Imperial Sutra could raise an entire sacred ground to new heights. He was going to teach it to Chen Zhongtian so easily?
They all knew that Qi Shaoxuan was only here to show support for Chen Zhongtian and would not teach him the full sutra. Nevertheless, it was still a fortuitous opportunity for Chen Zhongtian!
If he was lucky, he could become even stronger than before.
The Big Dipper Sacred Ground's Elders stared at Qi Shaoxuan. They knew what he was trying to do—he was merely showing support for his followers!
Anyway, he only had this follower who had a Saint's status in the entire Eastern Wilderness.
Qi Shaoxuan had to make sure this follower was well taken care of so that more people would follow him in the future.
The Sacred Leader smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your generosity. I'll thank you on Zhongtian's behalf."
The Grand Elder mocked, "The Purple Mansion Saint is generous indeed! Teaching an imperial sutra to others so easily."
Qi Shaoxuan looked at the Grand Elder and said, "It's just an imperial sutra. It's nothing compared to my friendship with Zhongtian.
"I like making friends very much, and I'll not be stingy with them.
"Brothers from the Big Dipper Sacred Ground, if you are interested in making friends with me, you can find me at my Purple Mansion Sacred Ground.
"I'll welcome you with my arms wide open!"
The Grand Elder said in an upset tone, "What about the other matter? The one you talked about earlier."
The Heaven's Halberd glowed, and a Golden Core appeared at Qi Shaoxuan's dantian. The Golden Core was covered in emblems and looked very mysterious.
What was shocking was that there were ten Divine Emblems on it.
Ten, Divine, Emblems! Tenth Refinement Stage!
The fourth refinement was considered Golden Core's peak, while Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage was the maximum a cultivator could attain!
However, that was only for normal cultivators. For a talented cultivator who aimed to be a Thearch, they would do anything to go beyond their abilities.
There was a saying in the Eastern Wilderness, "Only those who complete the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage can become Thearchs!"
However, no Thearch had appeared in Eastern Wilderness for 10,000 years, and no Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage cultivator for thousands of years.
Thus, no one was sure about the saying's legitimacy.
However, most talented cultivators would still aim for the Ninth and Tenth Refinement Stage.
For example, Qi Shaoxuan had completed his Ninth Refinement at the age of 18 and topped the Golden Core List. Unexpectedly, he spent another two years being a Golden Core cultivator so that he could exceed his limit and complete the tenth refinement.
Today, he had finally succeeded!
Qi Shaoxuan's achievement would definitely shock the five regions. In other words, Qi Shaoxuan indeed had the potential to become a Thearch!
The entire Sacred Leader Mountain was silenced.
The Elders were very salty about it. The Purple Mansion Sacred Ground was so lucky to have Qi Shaoxuan!
Since the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had this Son of Providence's backing, no one in Eastern Wilderness would ever go against them!
Qi Shaoxuan was very pleased with the reaction and smiled. He hopped off his chariot and said, "I have just completed the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage, and it is not very stable.
"Thus, I have decided to train through actual combat. I'll fight all the same tier cultivators in Eastern Wilderness and then head to Southern Border, West Desert, Northern Sea, and Middle Ground.
"When I'm invincible, I'll advance to Nascent Soul.
"I heard Big Dipper's Tiansha Array Formation is very powerful, and there are seven talented cultivators here.
"Yao Guang, Tian Qu, and Tian Xuan are even among the Golden Core List's top names.
"I would like to bet with half of the Nirvana Imperial Sutra I have here and take on the seven Junior Brothers at the same time.
"If I lose, I'm willing to share this imperial sutra with Big Dipper!"
Qi Shaoxuan's words were spread in the Big Dipper swiftly.
Eastern Wilderness, then Southern Border, West Desert, Northern Sea, and Middle Ground...
He would fight all the cultivators and prove that he was invincible before advancing to Nascent Soul?
What an arrogant guy!
However, Qi Shaoxuan sounded very confident. After all, he was truly invincible and only trying to prove this!
A new legend had appeared in Eastern Wilderness, so things were going to change!
At this time, Shen Tian was still lost.
Since he could not depend on his master, he could only rely on himself!
He continued to search for the right way in the wild.
The Lotus Shooting Gun was beginning to heat up from the friction with the air during the flight.
However, he did not meet a single human around the area. There were only demons and monsters.
In the end, Shen Tian gave up.
He took out the Saint Token and said, "Master, I give— I have found my fortuitous opportunity."
The Sacred Leader's hologram appeared.
"I'm very pleased, Tian'er.
"Your providence is way higher than I thought.
"You only get lost for a couple of hours, and you've found a fortuitous opportunity. Qi Shaoxuan is nobody compared to you!
"Stay where you are. I'm coming to pick you up."
The hologram faded away.
After a minute or so, a spatial gate appeared in front of Shen Tian.
"Come on, Tian'er, enter."
Seeing that the other side of the door was the Sacred Leader Palace, Shen Tian was very touched. He decided never to go out alone again!
Shen Tian had a strong desire to be stronger right now.
I need to be strong as quickly as possible so that I can learn this Mighty Prowess of spatial gate from Master!
I'll never have to worry about getting lost in the wild again.
Shen Tian appeared in the Sacred Leader Palace.
A man's face was right in front of him—an old Taoist priest!
Azure Lotus stared at Shen Tian and said, "You found a fortuitous opportunity so fast? What is it? Show me, show me! I promise I'll not snatch it."
The Sacred Leader said, "Senior Brother, you have to act like a senior.
"Whatever Tian'er received is his to know. It will be useful to him in the future if fewer people know.
"If you had read more about people with great providence, you would know that they have their own secret weapons and power.
"We need to respect that as seniors.
"There will be karma if we know their secrets."
Azure Lotus, "..."
The Sacred Leader patted on Shen Tian's shoulder and said, "Tian'er, can you tell me how big is your fortuitous opportunity this time?"
Shen Tian was puzzled by the question.
How big is the fortuitous opportunity?
How am I supposed to answer that?
As big as a cucumber? Or corn? Or eggplant? Or winter melon?
Normal big? Relatively big? Super big? Extra super big?
After pondering for some time, Shen Tian replied, "Erm... It's about the same as the Nirvana Holy Liquid!"
The Nirvana Holy Liquid increased Shen Tian's survivability drastically. He did not have to worry about getting hurt at all unless he was killed in an instant. There was nothing he could do then.
The Blood God's Son gave Shen Tian a clone that helped him escape life-threatening situations.
Thus, Shen Tian believed that these two were about the same.
Azure Lotus was shocked and said to himself, "As big as the Nirvana Holy Liquid... As big as a few hundred liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid!?"
Azure Lotus's eyes were wide open!
He remembered clearly that Shen Tian had at least 30 bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid, which contained 50L each!
Thus, he had at least a few kiloliters of Nirvana Holy Liquid with him!
Now, he had another fortuitous opportunity that was similar to that?
What the hell?
Only a few days have passed, yet he managed to be so lucky again?
Is he really the Heavenly Dao's Son like what Junior Brother said? That's so unfair!
Azure Lotus was regretful now. He had the opportunity to take Shen Tian as his disciple...
The Sacred Leader knew his Senior Brother was jealous. He said calmly, "Tian'er, Peak Leader White Lotus will lead the joint training in the Primordial Battlefield.
"You came back just in time. The team has not left yet. You can join Junior Sister White Lotus now."
Shen Tian nodded and said, "I'll go right away!"
Seeing Shen Tian leave the palace, the lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader started to flicker again.
The Sacred Leader bragged, "Senior Brother, I've told you!
"Tian'er found the fortuitous opportunity because I told him to follow his instinct.
"As I said, you need to read more so that you can contribute to the sacred ground!
"How are you feeling right now? Do you regret your decision now?"

Chapter 195: Full-Automatic Yin Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun
Shen Tian rode his Lotus Shooting Gun to White Lotus Mountain.
Currently, around 100 Foundation Establishment disciples were standing on White Lotus Mountain, their auras quite strong.
These disciples were the top 108 in the Divine Firnaments's Foundation Establishment list. They all had the qualifications to become true disciples of any other grotto-heavens and blessed-lands.
In the future, they could basically become Golden Core Perfected Ones.
Amongst them, those with slightly higher talent might even reach the Nascent Soul stage, becoming Supremacies.
Their talents were all better than Shen Tian's sixth brother, Shen Ao.
Don't think that this number was too small—one had to know that the Primordial Battlefield joint training occurred once every five years, and the disciples that had entered the trail last time had already broken through.
These 108 geniuses had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage within these five years—they were this lustrum's new Foundation Establishment cultivators.
It was already very rare to be able to have 108 disciples with the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Besides sacred grounds, most grotto-heavens would not be able to have so many talented disciples.
Among those 108 disciples, the person standing right at the front was a handsome young man with golden hair and narrow eyes. He was none other than Qin Yundi, and behind him were Eunuch Gui, Qin Gao, Song Fugui, and others.
They were the leaders of the 108 people and the first batch of higher-ups within the Favored Ones group.
What was worth mentioning was that these 108 Foundation Establishment disciples had already joined the Favored Ones.
Of course, the reason that they had joined the Favored Ones was purely that the Saint's personal charisma attracted them.
It's totally not related to being able to have a 40% discount when buying Lightning Explosion Talismans and Armor Penetrating Bullets after they joined the group.
Yeap, totally unrelated!
When they saw Shen Tian appear, the 108 disciples simultaneously made hand seals, and their swords behind them were unsheathed.
Clang!
A shiver ran down Shen Tian's spine.
Is it possible that they're annoyed from waiting and are prepared to kill me because I was late?
I was just late by a few hours! It's not like I did it on purpose! They shouldn't go this far, right!?
Luckily, those swords were not pierced toward Shen Tian.
All the swords formed a tidy "Tian" word in the sky, and under the shine of the sunlight, the blades' sharpness could be clearly seen—it looked extremely domineering.
Immediately after, the 108 disciples simultaneously shouted, "At the peak of immortality, look down on others, we strive to cultivate every day. Follow Senior Brother, and we will definitely achieve Immortal Ascension."
They pronounced every word precisely with the vigor and vitality of a tiger. It was soul-stirring!
Their words reverberated throughout the whole White Lotus Mountain for a long time.
That made one feel ardor and zeal coursing through their blood!
Every young face of the disciples was filled with self-confidence and brimmed with their youthfulness.
They were completely unaware of how chuunibyou the slogan they chanted was.
In the crowd, Shopkeeper Song's and Liu Taiyi's faces were filled with a proud smile.
After rehearsing for so long, at last, they did not drop the ball at this crucial moment.
The effort I spent trying to brainwash these disciples these few days was not in vain!
I hope that Senior Brother Saint will be satisfied with our Favored Ones' slogan!
Shen Tian felt a little guilty as he was welcomed by gazes filled with worship, admiration, and possessiveness.
Why do I have the feeling that I'm the leader of an evil cult? I won't be taken away by the relevant departments, right!?
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus at the side was smiling. She did not think what these young disciples did was not good.
Worshiping or chasing their idols reasonably helped the leader gather the people's hearts and shape their authority.
In the past, when they had still been young disciples, they had also crazily followed and worshiped those two.
It was a pity how those two Senior Brothers turned out.
One had been heavily injured after being surrounded and attacked by a group of Sages, so he had had no other choice but to cultivate a cultivation technique that was cursed. Thus, he became weirder and weirder.
Meanwhile, the other had shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the sacred ground, so he cultivated the Heavenly Dao Sutra, which cut off his emotions and desires in order to break through as fast as possible.
Now that almost 1,000 years had passed, these two Senior Brothers were no longer like their past selves that were young, frivolous, daring, and energetic.
Everyone had gradually become what they once disliked as time passed!
Now that she saw these young disciples so crazily acknowledging a leader, she felt as if it was like a lifetime ago since that many years had passed!
It was time for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's new soul to appear.
Shen Tian was blessed by providence and had unmatched handsomeness—he definitely had the qualifications to be such a person!
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus had a gentle smile on her face as she took out a milky white jade talisman.
She passed it to Shen Tian and said, "This is the Divine Firmament Teleportation Talisman. It can teleport the disciples within a 1,000-mile radius, directly back here with you as the center.
"The Primordial Battlefield is filled with unpredictable dangers. Please do not force yourself once you encounter dangers, just crush this teleportation talisman."
Shen Tian nodded. "Thank you, Aunt-Master."
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus revealed a satisfied smile and then took out a book that was as thick as a dictionary. "Also, this book contains some things to take note of regarding the Primordial Battlefield. You can read it slowly while on the way."
Shen Tian, "..."
After taking the heavy book, Shen Tian remembered his past that he could not bear to look back on.
Fortunately, Shen Tian could already use his divine consciousness to copy the information after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage,
In that case, it was not that hard to remember the key points of the book by looking through it once.
Once everything was ready, all the disciples entered the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel.
Right! Before the flying vessel started flying, the disciples in charge of inspection specially opened the Spirit Stone Cabin to ensure that there were enough Spirit Stones.
The Divine Firmament Flying Vessel finally left the Small World. It opened its protective barrier, and the gentle wind went through the barrier and blew onto the deck.
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus liked quiet, so she went into the depths of the flying vessel alone and entered seclusion to cultivate and create pills.
Instantly, those Foundation Establishment Junior Brothers and Sisters surged toward Shen Tian.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother! I've admired you for a long time! Can I have your autograph?"
"Senior Brother, I've just succeeded in learning the mystic technique Image Recording Crystal. Can I take a picture with you?"
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother! How do you maintain your skin? Can you teach me? Wow! it's really smooth to touch!"
"Senior Brother, I heard that you have a whole pond of Nirvana Holy Liquid, and you usually use Nirvana Holy Liquid to bathe, is it really true? How does it feel to use the Nirvana Holy Liquid to bathe?"
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother! I heard that you successfully reached Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage after Senior Sister Yunxi underwent dual cultivation with you. What do you think about Junior Sister me?"
Sssss~!
Shen Tian felt a chill down his spine upon hearing the Junior Brothers and Sisters' words beside him.
It's fine if it's just autographs and pictures as I am handsome. I can satisfy them.
But why are you anyhow touching me?
If it's not for you girls looking quite good, do you believe I will call the police?
And what do you mean I have a whole pond of Nirvana Holy Liquid, and I use it for bathing daily?
Just who on earth spread such an unbelievable rumor?
The amount of Nirvana Holy Liquid I had taken out in public is just 1,500 liters, okay? Although the 20 kiloliters of Nirvana Holy Liquid could indeed form a pond, using it to bathe daily is purely cooking up a story.
Letting others accuse me of something that I did not do, it's too much! So I cannot suffer this accusation! I'll try using Nirvana Holy Liquid to bathe tonight!
Anyway, after using it to bathe, its healing effects will not become weaker. It can still be used to save lives.
Mentioning about saving lives, who knows how the Big Dipper Saint is doing now.
Sigh... When this Primordial Battlefield joint training ends, I'll let Yunfeng go and ask around. He's an extremely precious research target. I'm relying on him for a breakthrough in my experiment!
Please do not die!
As Shen Tian coped with his Junior Brothers and Sisters' passionate questions and crowding, he let his mind run wild with thoughts.
Time passed quickly as they had a joyful and hurried interaction.
After a total of an hour and under the Heavenly Venerable White Lotus intervention, did everyone stop asking Shen Tian questions.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian finally had the time to enter his room and enjoy a rare moment of peace and quiet.
At that moment, Qin Yundi gently opened the door.
Shen Tian asked calmly, "Is something the matter, Junior Brother Yundi?"
Qin Yundi smiled gently with his narrow eyes. "Senior Brother, it's about the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun."
Realization dawned upon Shen Tian. "Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun? Oh, what a bad memory I have. I forgot to return you the eight Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns previously."
His Archeon Sea Ring shone, and the eight Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns appeared in the air.
Shen Tian smiled and said, "Junior Brother, confirm the number of guns. These eight Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns are returned to their rightful owner."
Qin Yundi's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly shook his head. "Senior Brother, you misunderstood me. I am not here to ask you to return the guns."
He seemed to have realized it was quite difficult to explain, so he directly took a short black gun out of his interspatial ring.
This short gun was overall quite similar to the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun, but there was an extra small round disk at the gun head, which looked just like a lotus.
Qin Yundi explained, "Senior Brother, you told me about the Fully-Automatic Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun's principle the last time.
"I have been researching with my mother these few days and finally created the first finished product, which is this Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun.
"There are 30 Spirit Gold Bullets within this Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun, and they can be completely shot within three breaths. Also, their degree of precision is quite high.
"Although its power is much weaker than a normal Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun, this can be compensated by shooting more.
"Meanwhile, as compared to the single-shot Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun, its fault tolerance rate is also higher."
Qin Yundi's joyful explanation astounded Shen Tian.
Awe-awesome Brother!
Just how long has passed? You even invented an automatic rifle!?
If you and your mother are given a little more time, will the both of you even invent things like armor-piercing bullets, explosion bullets, ground-to-air guided missiles?
The both of you are really too crazy!

Chapter 196: Jade Lake Sacred Ground, A Visit By An Old Friend!
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Clear and crisp banging sounds echoed from Shen Tian's room.
The narrow-eyed Qin Yundi smiled and said, "Senior Brother, what do you think about this gun?"
"According to your reminder, mother had specially added a noise reduction array formation that could prevent the gunshot from being too loud."
Shen Tian nodded, looking at the Dharma artifact shield that had obviously deformed from the shots. He was extremely satisfied.
Shen Tian had picked up that shield back at Fog City, and its former owner had most likely died. Thus, following the virtue of not wasting, Shen Tian had taken this shield.
Currently, bullet holes were obvious on that shield, and some even directly pierced through it.
It was obvious that the power of this Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun was quite good.
What was more rare and commendable was that the gun's recoil was not strong, so Shen Tian could completely take it.
Shen Tian shot that shield 10 times at once—each shot had precisely landed on the shield, not accidentally injuring Qin Yundi, who was at the side.
As compared to the normal Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun that had to wait for a while before being able to shoot the second shot, the durability and fault tolerance rate of the Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun were indeed much higher.
As this gun was just a sample, it was relatively crudely made.
However, only speaking from its function, its main performance was already that of an automatic rifle.
Qin Yundi indeed had the talents and coupled with the crafting skills of Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus, their research on firearms was very smooth.
Shen Tian could almost see a revolution by cultivators with low cultivation levels.
Of course, the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun and Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun might be extremely powerful amongst low-level cultivators, but they were destined to be unable to affect the entire cultivation world.
That was because oxygen and hydrogen with Spirit Qi, no matter how tightly they were compressed, they could only break through the Golden Core Restriction realm.
When facing Nascent Soul cultivators like Supremacy Blood Mosquito, it was difficult for it to have the surprise element and one-shot kill effect.
These weapons' attack speed was even unable to compare with the dodging and defending speed of Nascent Soul cultivators.
Supremacies could easily deal with these attacks.
If one wanted to threaten Nascent Soul Supremacy or Heavenly Venerables, most likely electromagnetic guns, laser weapons, or even nuclear weapons needed to be invented.
Whether nuclear weapons were even able to threaten Heavenly Venerables, even Shen Tian was unsure. That was because Shen Tian had witnessed the battle between Mother Vine Lu Ji and Qian Yang Sword Venerable—they could be called humanoid missiles.
Be it their attacking power or defensive power, they completely dominated Nascent Soul cultivators.
With their means, as long as they were not in the centermost area of the nuclear explosion, they would most likely be able to escape with ease!
As for nuclear weapons' most fearsome aspect, nuclear radiation, it was really not that threatening to cultivators!
Not to mention some powerful Supremacies were already able to hide within the void.
Thus, Shen Tian decided that the research on firearms would end here!
Anyway, in the future, if there were no accidents, he would definitely become a Soul Formation Heavenly Venerable.
If he freeloaded enough people blessed with providence, even surviving the tribulation to become a Sage and achieve Immortal Ascension were all possible.
In such a situation, there was really no need to invent something like nuclear weapons anymore, and it would even pollute the environment.
At the same time, making those high-tech weapons did consume quite a lot of time.
Alright!
Shen Tian admitted that it was actually because he could only make weapons using electrolysis with his level of knowledge in physical chemistry!
Which normal youngster would know how to make a laser cannon or nuclear weapons?
Even this electrolysis was something Shen Tian had barely remembered after looking at the scene of Qin Yundi's fortuitous opportunity.
As for the other knowledge, he had long returned it to his high school teachers!
After returning the Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun to Qin Yundi, Shen Tian said calmly, "Junior Brother Yundi, you've done well.
"This Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun's practicability is even higher than the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun. In the future, you can continue researching, but you must let Aunt-Master Golden Lotus pay attention to the core technology's confidentiality."
The narrow-eyed Qin Yundi smiled and said, "Senior Brother, don't worry, I know."
Shen Tian nodded. "Then, for our direction of research in the future, we can focus on improving the stability of the Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun.
"Also, there's no hurry to start selling the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun and Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun. The Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman is enough."
Although these weapons could only threaten weak Golden Core cultivators, cultivators below Golden Core were the mainstream in Eastern Wilderness.
The Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had invented was enough to seize most of the market for cultivators of low cultivation level.
That was enough!
If they recklessly also sold the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun, it would definitely draw backlash from the whole Eastern Wilderness' cultivators.
Others had worked hard for hundreds of years to reach the Golden Core stage, but a weakling in the Foundation Establishment stage was able to kill them with one shot? What would they think of it?
In the future, those cultivators who had poor talent just needed to train their bodies and prolong their lifespan?
In the course of time, wouldn't the Divine Firmament disciples be treated as offbeat heretics?
Thus, it would not be good for the sacred ground's development.
Although Qin Yundi did not know the reason for Shen Tian's decision, he firmly believed what his Senior Brother said must be right!
After storing the Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun into his interspatial ring, Qin Yundi nodded. "Alright. Senior Brother, I understand!"
Shen Tian nodded. "There are dangers everywhere in the Primordial Battlefield. Are our sacred ground's disciples well-equipped?"
Qin Yundi replied, "Yeap, Senior Brother. Don't worry.
"In this Primordial Battlefield trial, the Sacred Leader specially opened a 'loan channel' for all disciples that joined the trial. Everyone could borrow Spirit Stones and use them to buy Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans and Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning.
"Now, all the disciples are well-equipped with so much that they could even beat a dozen people themselves!"
Seeing Qin Yundi, who was full of pride, Shen Tian nodded in satisfaction.
Although Shen Tian did not want to be the leader, since his master had already handed these disciples into his hands, he had to do a good job. Or else, what if these guys encountered some dangers and resulted in heavy casualties? Then wouldn't he, the leader, need to take the responsibility?
After all, almost all the victims' families could not be reasoned with, regardless of whether they were ancient or modern.
Shen Tian pondered for a moment and still felt that they were not safe enough. Thus, he took a Nirvana Holy Liquid bottle out of his Archeon Sea Ring and another 100 small bottles.
Shen Tian split 1mL of Nirvana Holy Liquid into each small bottle and sealed them.
Instantly, 100 bottles shining with green light appeared in front of Shen Tian.
"Junior Brother Yundi, help me distribute these Nirvana Holy Liquid bottles to our Junior Brothers and Sisters. Just say that this is the benefit our Favored Ones group gives to everyone.
"Every disciple is limited to one bottle each, no one can take more than one, one cannot help others to take, it cannot be resold, and it cannot be gifted to others.
"Offenders will be expelled from the group. As for those with serious offenses, I will inform the sacred ground and expel them from the sect.
"You must ensure that every Junior Brother and Sister will be able to obtain this bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
"I hope that everyone can return safe and sound!"
The Nirvana Holy Liquid was obtained from Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity, so the ones that Shen Tian gifted the Nirvana Holy Liquid to would have an increase in their providence.
Although this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid was nothing to Shen Tian—these 100 bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid amounted just to 100mL—to Foundation Establishment cultivators, just one drop was enough to save their lives.
With such a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid in their hand, it might have great use during crucial moments!
Also, Shen Tian had other considerations. Now that they were about to enter the Primordial Battlefield, it was the moment where one's providence would be tested.
The providence of those disciples that received the Nirvana Holy Liquid would increase slightly.
It might be that little bit of increase that could allow them to escape from death or even encounter their fortuitous opportunity!
By then, it would be simple to obtain their trust by giving them the bottle for free.
Shen Tian might even be able to freeload some disciples' fortuitous opportunities, too—it was a win-win situation!
In addition, the Favored Ones' cohesion would increase greatly as well. In other words, it was killing several birds with one stone!
At the very least, if they encountered a disaster like that of Fog City, if there were casualties within the disciples, then Shen Tian would not be blamed. After all, he had already made "such a huge" sacrifice and shared such a large amount of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
Anyway, Shen Tian was definitely not going to take the blame at all!
In that short moment, Shen Tian had already calculated everything.
However, Qin Yundi obviously did not know Shen Tian's considerations, and he was currently extremely moved.
Senior Brother truly is awesome! His high morality reaches up to the clouds!
He is giving this much Nirvana Holy Liquid to ensure the disciples' safety. This is a total of 100 bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid!
Thinking till here, Qin Yundi felt that he must inform Junior Brother Song Fugui and Junior Brother Liu Taiyi of Shen Tian's sacrifice.
Yepp, I also have to tell Senior Brother Li Yunfeng after I return to the sacred ground.
However... he most likely did not even need to tell Li Yunfeng!
Senior Brother Li Yunfeng would know about it as soon as possible and then spread it throughout the sacred ground.
"Senior Brother, don't worry. I'll definitely ensure that every Junior Brother and Sister will be able to receive the Nirvana Holy Liquid you gave!
"This is not the Nirvana Holy Liquid. It's the earnest care you have for your Junior Brothers and Sisters!
"I'm touched, I'm extremely touched!"
His narrow eyes were filled with tears.
Qin Yundi walked outside resolutely while holding the 100 bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
Shen Tian looked at Qin Yundi's back as he left and felt that this fellow seemed to have been influenced by Shopkeeper Song and the others.
Suddenly, Shen Tian frowned.
Not good, I was in too much of a hurry!
I should not be in a rush to share the Nirvana Holy Liquid. 1mL per person is just too stingy!
If I had known earlier, I would have taken a bath using the Nirvana Holy Liquid and then share it.
By then, each Junior Brother and Sister would at least be able to have a cup of the Nirvana Holy Liquid!
Anyway, I can tell them clearly beforehand that I had accidentally bathed using this holy liquid, so when they use it, they should try their best to apply it externally and not drink it.
Those Junior Brothers that do not mind could have more Nirvana Holy Liquid, which I bathed with, while those that mind, I'll give them clean one but less.
Anyway, they're all men. They would not mind, right?
It's just that some Junior Sisters might not be willing. Junior Sisters prefer cleanliness, after all!
Of course, it might be that Junior Brothers are unwilling while the Junior Sisters fight over it.
As the trial was approaching, Shen Tian was slightly nervous, so he started letting his imagination run wild.
Meanwhile, at this moment, the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel was still rapidly advancing.
Near the Country of Fire, at the outer peripheral of the Primordial Battlefield...
Within a temporarily built town for the trial, there were plenty of disciples from Jade Lake Sacred Ground and other sects. They were already ready to enter the Primordial Battlefield.
There were only two hours left before the trial started.
However, one of the two major sacred grounds, Divine Firmament, had yet to arrive.
Many "genius disciples" of grotto-heavens and blessed-lands were already complaining.
"The trial is about to start. Why hasn't the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground arrived? They're just too arrogant!"
"Sigh, even Jade Lake Sacred Ground, whose ranking is higher than the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, has already arrived long ago. This time, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is indeed putting on airs."
"There's no other choice. At least two Thearch artifacts are needed to open the way into the Primordial Battlefield. If the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground doesn't come, are you going to open the way?"
"Did you hear? There's a new Saint in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. It's not Fang Chang, nor is it Zhang Yunting."
"Of course I've heard about it. I heard it was a nameless guy. His name was something like Shen Tian!"
"Nameless, are you kidding me? Do you know what notice the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground had recently released?"
"What notice?"
"Ha, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground released a notice a few days ago that their Buddhist Lord had entered seclusion.
"Before entering seclusion, he gave out an order to let the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's elders give the Sonic Thunder's Buddhism Token to the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian!"
"What? The Sonic Thunder's Buddhism Token? Isn't that the supreme treasure of the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground? They're actually giving it to the Divine Firmament Saint?"
"Looks like this Divine Firmament Saint is quite amazing! How high is his cultivation level? He must have already achieved the Nascent Soul stage, right?"
"I heard that he's only a Foundation Establishment cultivator and is going to this trial with us!"
"How is it possible!? Are you serious?"
As the many disciples were talking, a few young ladies gradually walked by.
The lady at the front was a girl wearing green clothes and looked ethereal, as if she was a fairy that had descended.
Spirit Qi vaguely gathered with each step she took, which formed the shape of a faint lotus flower.
She was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but she had such graceful bearing it left one amazed!
When she appeared, everyone stopped talking and looked at her in a daze.
There was no other choice. She was just too extraordinary and breathtaking.
Some cultivators that had some understanding of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground were secretly using their divine consciousness to explain to others that this lady was the disciple that had recently entered the Jade Lake Sacred Ground.
She had a special body constitution, which allowed her to have a high affinity with the Jade Lake Sacred Ground's cultivation techniques and had already been accepted as Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's disciple.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance was one of the few Soul Formation elders of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, her strength and status extremely extraordinary.
Thus, this lady's future achievements, who had become Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's disciple, definitely could not be underestimated.
Meanwhile, the place where she was heading was where the Grand White Grotto-Heaven disciples were located.
As she gracefully took step by step, she came face to face with the Grand White Grotto-Heaven disciple that was guarding the entrance.
She smiled slightly. "I am Jade Lake Sacred Ground's disciple, Xiao Ling. I wish to meet Senior Brother Shen Ao.
"Would Senior Brothers please help me pass on a message, just say... it's a visit by an old friend!"

Chapter 197: You're Unworthy To Pretend To Be Senior Brother Shen Ao!
Grand White Sword Palace...
At the outer perimeter of the Primordial Battlefield, the palace where the Grand White Grotto-Heaven disciples stayed...
At the back garden, there was a man in white swinging his sword.
The brilliant red sword aura gathered on the blades and pierced three feet away; the power of that attack was extremely domineering and unparalleled.
The illusion of a red sun could be vaguely seen formed on the blade of the sword.
"Chao Yang Sword Art, Second Technique—Sun-Piercing Rainbow!"
That man snorted, then that originally three feet long sword aura instantly increased several times, becoming as long as 10 feet.
As the huge sword aura sliced downward, it directly slashed an obvious chasm on the ground.
The power of that sword was enough to let mortals bow down and worship him!
After swinging that sword, the man's face seemed to be slightly pale. It was obvious that the attack's consumption was quite high.
He gradually walked toward a swordsman wearing a purple robe, bowed, and said, "Master, I have mastered my strike."
Supremacy Zi Yang Sun nodded and revealed a satisfied expression. "Not bad, not bad. You're able to learn the Chao Yang Sword Art's Second Technique in just a short half a month.
"Ao'er, you're indeed a promising disciple for Sword Dao. Of course, mainly it's because Senior Brother Chang He had taught you well!
"Senior Brother's evaluation of you is not bad. You can go to the back mountain more when you have time to train.
"You have to know of the mantra 'no pain, no gain'. You cannot slack off!"
Shen Ao's heart skipped a beat.
WTF? Go to the back mountain more to train?
You're too cunning! It's because you don't want to go to the back mountain that you make me the scapegoat!
Shen Ao could never forget what he had experienced in this half a month—it was not cultivating and Dao Seeking at all!
It was simply torture!
However, thinking that his Senior Brother, Li Changge, was still being tortured now, Shen Ao felt much better since he was not the most miserable one!
As he crazily complained about his master, he still had to go along with what his master said.
Shen Ao smiled and said, "Yes, Master."
Supremacy Zi Yang nodded in satisfaction. He was still very satisfied with this disciple he had accepted recently.
Although he had grown up in the palace, he did not have the bad habits of royalty. He was still calm, cautious, and humble.
Also, he was able to bear hardships when training swordsmanship. One had to know that the number of youngsters who could endure Senior Brother Chang He's training was in the few.
Supremacy Zi Yang believed that as long as Shen Ao continued persevering, he would definitely have the chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage and become a Nascent Soul Supremacy who would be respected.
By then, he might not lose to his so-called Saint brother.
Since the road of cultivation was long, one's background did not mean everything. The number of powerful cultivators that had risen up from insignificant backgrounds was not in the few.
Like Supremacy Zi Yang, many cultivators that had come from normal families all firmly believed so!
Thinking till here, Supremacy Zi Yang felt that he should encourage his disciple, Shen Ao.
He said calmly. "Ao'er, I'll tell you something about the Sword Dao!
"We, sword cultivators, should have unyielding pride. Our swords would rather break than be bent!
"As long as we keep our swords in our heart, their sharpness would be able to slice through everything!
"Although your talent is not high, as long as you're hardworking, you can definitely advance triumphantly on the road of Sword Dao and surpass all those so-called geniuses!
"Do you understand?"
In Supremacy Zi Yang's eyes, Shen Ao's talent was bad, as he could not be compared to geniuses at all. The Country of Fire was simply too insignificant as compared to the whole Eastern Wilderness, after all!
Shen Ao had already understood such a point in this half a month. He had also suffered a huge blow and was depressed because of that before.
However, now that he had heard his master's 'chicken soup', Shen Ao once again was filled with fighting spirit. He seemed to be deep in thought, and his eyes lit up.
"Thank you, Master, for your teachings. I understand! I will continue training my sword!
"One day, my swordsmanship will be able to slice through everything!"
At that moment, Shen Ao seemed to be enlightened.
Meanwhile, a disciple ran in from the back garden. "Reporting to Martial Uncle Zi Yang, a disciple from Jade Lake Sacred Ground has come."
Supremacy Zi Yang frowned. "Jade Lake Sacred Ground's disciple? Did someone from our sect cause trouble?"
That disciple shook his head. "No, the person that came was Jade Lake Sacred Ground's Fairy Xiao Ling. She said she's here to find Senior Brother Shen Ao.
"Also-also, I heard a certain Junior Sister from Jade Lake Sacred Ground say that Fairy Xiao Ling is also from the Country of Fire.
"She had always admired Senior Brother Shen Ao. Ever since joining the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, she had always asked around about Senior Brother Shen Ao."
Supremacy Zi Yang squinted his eyes. "You mean, Fairy Xiao Ling likes Shen Ao?"
The disciple scratched his head and grinned. "Anyway, that's what the rumors say. I think it's quite reliable."
Supremacy Zi Yang stroked his beard, smiled, and said, "Lead Fairy Xiao Ling and her Senior and Junior Sisters to the guest reception hall. Treat them with the utmost hospitality, don't offend them."
The disciple nodded and left.
Shen Ao frowned. He really could not remember that he knew a person named Xiao Ling.
However, with his reputation in the Country of Fire previously, it was indeed normal for girls to secretly admire him.
At that thought, Shen Ao's lips were slightly curved. "Master, this Fairy Xiao Ling, how should I deal with her?"
Supremacy Zi Yang's eyes were burning with passion. "Butter up! Butter her up!"
Shen Ao was stunned. "Butter up? What does that mean? Why do I have to butter her up?"
Supremacy Zi Yang looked at Shen Ao angrily for his ignorance. "Ao'er, do you know who she is?
"Fairy Xiao Ling, she's the one with the Connate Spirit Constitution that the Jade Lake Sacred Ground recently found. She's a peerless genius!
"She has an extraordinary foundation and can become Jade Lake's Saintess. In the future, she will even have a high possibility of reaching the Soul Formation stage!
"If her luck is good, she might even transcend the tribulation and become a Sage. It's even possible that she might become the leader of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground 1,000 years later!
"Such a peerless genius is actually blind and took a liking to you, aren't you moved?"
Shen Ao was stunned. "However, Master, didn't you say just now that as long as I'm hardworking enough, then I can surpass all these so-called geniuses?"
Supremacy Zi Yang patted Shen Ao's shoulder and replied, "My master had also told me this in the past. Such words mean nothing, don't take them too seriously. Or else, when you meet a real genius, you'll break down.
"If in the past there was such a peerless genius that took a liking to me, would I still need to work so hard?
"Anyway, listen to my advice. Take advantage when she has yet to see what true geniuses are and is still blind. Hurry and get her.
"The best is just to directly have a baby, then what's done cannot be undone!
"Otherwise, if you mess up such a sure thing, then you'll definitely regret it!"
Shen Ao, "..."
Seeing his master—who was so confident and imposing just a moment ago, saying, "As long as you're worked hardworking, then even geniuses can be surpassed"—was now encouraging him to freeload off a woman, Shen Ao was completely stunned.
Frankly speaking, he was a little doubtful.
If he worked hard and cultivated, could he really surpass a genius?
What if the genius was also hardworking!
Or should he choose to get together with that Saintess so he would not need to struggle anymore?
Shen Ao walked toward the guest reception hall in a completely stunned state. He was overwhelmed by highly mixed feelings. His dream of cultivation and reality was conflicting.
Two voices were arguing within him.
One of them was rebellious and was firmly against the fact of selling himself!
The other was bewitching him. "Isn't it better to just get together with her, the peerless genius of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground?"
The guest reception hall was already visible, so Shen Ao was anxious. He could feel the sweat on his palms as he was extremely nervous now.
That Jade Lake Sacred Ground Fairy, how tall is she? What's her age? Is she pretty?
If she is not the type that I like, should I still get together with her? But we would not be happy like this!
As Shen Ao slowly walked into the hall, the moment he entered, he was completely astounded!
He saw that there was a lady in green sitting on the left side of the hall. Her skin was as white as snow, her face was as beautiful as peach blossom, and she was exuding her gorgeous charm.
If there was someone favored by the heavens and all the beautiful phrases could be used to describe her, then... it should be her.
The moment he saw her, Shen Ao could feel that the rebellious soul in his mind...
Was being tamed!
Freeloading is awesome!
After gently coughing, Shen Ao took a mirror out of his storage bag and carefully styled his hair.
He carried his sword on his back and smiled as he walked into the guest reception hall. He tried his best to carry himself with ease and natural poise.
Indeed, he successfully attracted Fairy Xiao Ling's attention.
However, that lady gradually stood up, folded her hands in the front, and asked, "Senior Brother, I have waited for quite a long time. May I know when I can meet Senior Brother Shen Ao?"
The numerous female disciples of Jade Lake Sacred Ground secretly shook their heads.
Senior Sister Ling'er is indeed infatuated with him.
As the true disciple of the sacred ground who even had hope of fighting for the Saintess position, she did not hesitate to humble herself and come to the Great White Sword Palace to find the so-called Shen Ao.
Who knows what kind of handsome-looking man could make Senior Sister this infatuated? It's making us anticipate!
The desire for beautiful things was universal, after all.
In an instant, all the female disciples looked at Shen Ao, awaiting his reply.
Meanwhile, Shen Ao was completely dumbfounded.
WTF do you mean you've waited for a long time? When can you meet Shen Ao?
I'm standing right in front of you!
Why, are you blind!?
Seeing that Fairy Xiao Ling was indeed gorgeous, Shen Ao endured it!
He squeezed out a smile that he thought was gentlemanly. "Fairy Xiao Ling, I am Shen Ao."
He is Shen Ao?
In that instant, all the female disciples from the Jade Lake Sacred Ground were all dumbstruck!
This is the man that Senior Sister Ling'er praised, an extremely handsome man with "matchless" good looks, Shen Ao?'
Even if beauty was in the eye of the beholder, this was too much!
This guy's look was only above average!
All the female disciples looked toward Xiao Ling.
Meanwhile, the previously smiling Xiao Ling turned expressionless. "Senior Brother, you say you're Shen Ao?"
Shen Ao nodded. "My name is indeed Shen Ao."
Xiao Ling took a deep breath. "The Sixth Prince of the Country of Fire?"
Shen Ao replied, "Indeed."
Xiao Ling shook her head. "No, you're not him, you're not Shen Ao."
Shen Ao, "???"
Xiao Ling slowly stood up, looked at Shen Ao, and her temperament gradually turned fierce. "Just where is Shen Ao?"
Shen Ao, "???"
"The Grand White Grotto-Heaven is too disrespectful. I just want to meet my old friend, so why must your sect hide Senior Brother Shen Ao?"
Shen Ao, "???"
"I know! It must be that b*tch Li Lian'er! Is it Li Lian'er who doesn't want me to meet Senior Brother Shen Ao?"
Shen Ao, "???"
"You're going too far. I definitely want to meet Senior Brother Shen Ao today!"
Shen Ao said, "Fairy, I'm really Shen Ao!"
Xiao Ling said, "Ha, you think you're worthy?
"My Senior Brother Shen Ao had guided fated people in the Myriad Spirit Garden before, while his handsome appearance had made countless women go crazy over him.
"Senior Brother, please look at your appearance in the mirror. Are you worthy of pretending to be Senior Brother Shen Ao?"
Shen Ao exclaimed, "Guide fated people in the Myriad Spirit Garden!?"
Shen Ao suddenly understood something!
It's him, it's him! It's Thirteenth Brother again!
In that instant, Shen Ao was on the verge of tears!
"Ah choo~!"
At the same moment, on the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel tens of miles away from the Grand White Sword Palace...
A big wooden barrel was filled with Nirvana Holy Liquid, and Shen Tian was comfortably soaked within it. The abundance of vitality energy crazily surged into his body, which made him feel so comfortable it was as if he was floating.
Amazing, amazing, amazing!
Ah, ah, ah!
I am thankful to the brother who spread the rumor that I use Nirvana Holy Liquid to bathe. It opened the door to a new world for me.
Who would have thought that using the Nirvana Holy Liquid to bathe would be this amazing!?
More importantly, Shen Tian could obviously feel that his physical body was being strengthened.
This was not purely an increase in strength, but it was refining his body as a whole and enhancing his body from the core.
As more and more energy from the Nirvana Holy Liquid was absorbed, Shen Tian could feel that his foundation for cultivation was gradually increasing.
The Spirit Qi Dharmic powers started circulating within him, and the circulation was unprecedentedly smooth as if he was moving his arm.
Meanwhile, he also clearly sensed that his cultivation level was also increasing steadily.
The Dharmic foundation of the five Divine Beasts' avatars carved on his dantian was gradually expanding. That represented Shen Tian's cultivation level was increasing rapidly, advancing from mid-stage to late-stage Foundation Establishment.
Also, there was even more energy hidden within Shen Tian's body that needed his body to slowly digest and absorb it!
This was a long subtle process that could not be hurried.
At that moment, Shen Tian could not help but exclaim, "Indeed, working hard to cultivate is totally unreliable! Spending money and using resources is the way to go!"
Some people trained hundreds of years consistently to increase their cultivation levels.
However, some people just needed to take a bath, and they could comfortably break through.
The only pity was that after Shen Tian bathed in the Nirvana Holy Liquid, the amount of energy within the Nirvana Holy Liquid greatly decreased.
Most probably, if Shen Tian bathed a little longer, then this Nirvana Holy Liquid would become diluted.
Could it still heal injuries after it is diluted and applied externally?
Hmm, if there's a chance, let's try it out in the Primordial Battlefield!
Anyway, there's no poison. At most, it's just the medicinal effects would decrease.
If three bowls are concentrated into one, the healing medicinal effects will most likely not have much difference. I'll just keep it since this Nirvana Holy Liquid was something I risked my life to get. If it is wasted, then it's really not worth it!
As Shen Tian was deep in thought, drum sounds echoed from outside.
Shen Tian knew that it was the command for everyone to prepare to gather as the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel was about to reach the Primordial Battlefield's outer perimeter.
He slowly walked out of the bathtub. He looked at the Nirvana Holy Liquid, whose color had turned much lighter, and then nodded his head secretly.
A red jade bottle appeared in Shen Tian's hands. It was completely different from the other green jade bottles.
Shen Tian made a hand seal, and all the Nirvana Holy Liquid within the bathtub was sucked into it. Afterward, he donned his White Dragon clothes made of brocade and walked toward the deck.
This time the Grand White Grotto-Heaven will also join this Primordial Battlefield trial.
Will Lian'er and Sixth Brother come? It's been a long time since I've seen them.
I kinda miss them!

Chapter 198: All Were Rejuvenated With Just One Step
The giant Divine Firmament Flying Vessel was hovering at the edge of the Primordial Battlefield, and it had caught the attention of many people.
Many disciples from the grotto-heavens and blessed-lands felt very jealous when looking at the flying vessel.
Too bad, such a device was an extremely rare tactical resource, and only the sacred grounds could afford to use it casually.
Most of these disciples reached the nearest city from the teleportation circle first before flying here with Sword Kinesis Flight.
They had encountered extreme weather phenomena, such as thunderstorms and hurricanes, so it was really a hell of a ride.
They looked at the disciples from Divine Firmament with envy, just like how normal people would look at sports cars owners!
"The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is finally here? What great timing."
"What's so great about the sacred ground? We had been waiting here for so long!"
"Shhh. Keep your volume down. Don't let them hear us."
"It's okay. We are using voice transmission. They cannot hear us!"
"I heard that Divine Firmament's Saint is an amazing guy!"
"LOL! We are all Foundation Establishment cultivators. How amazing can he be? It is just rumors!"
Many people crowded around the vessel as it landed.
Even the Grand White Grotto-Heaven's little princess, Li Lian'er, was among them.
Little Spirit Fairy was chasing behind her with an unpleasant look on her beautiful face.
"Li Lian'er! Where is my Brother Shen Ao!"
Li Lian'er ignored her. She was smiling happily with her ahoge jumping up and down. Even the calabash's spout was dancing happily in its pot.
Other core members from the grotto-heavens and blessed-lands gathered too.
Everyone knew that when the two major sacred grounds met, the Primordial Battlefield trial would officially start!
Boom!
The flying vessel landed and caused the dust to spread due to the impact.
Slowly, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground members came down one by one, including the elderly.
Cough, cough. The the elderly were here because Shopkeeper Song and Eunuch Gui had requested to come along.
They looked very out of place among the younger disciples.
"Oh? Why are old men among the Foundation Establishment disciples in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?"
"I have no idea where the sacred ground found these people. Are they really lacking in manpower now?"
"I heard that these were the relatives of the new Saint back in the Country of Fire. When they entered the sacred ground, they became inner-sect disciples straightaway."
"Wow, just because of one guy?"
"That makes me sick! They are certainly well-connected to the sacred ground!"
"It turns out that the amazing Saint is just trying to benefit his own family after all! That is so low!"
The disciples from the grotto-heavens and blessed-lands were chatting away.
They were the top Foundation Establishment cultivators in their sects, and it was natural for them to feel proud of themselves.
Thus, when they met people who were better than them, they felt salty instantly.
Thoughts like "I'm so good, but the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground rejected me before, and now they recruited some old man instead of me?" were bombarding their minds.
These cultivators felt it was unfair as they believed they were much better than others.
They had a bad impression of the Saint even though they had yet to meet him.
Of course, these disciples only dared to talk in such a manner secretly.
When they were in front of the Elders or Saints of the sacred grounds, they were very well-behaved.
Qin Yundi led 108 Foundation Establishment disciples out of the flying vessel.
However, the highly anticipated Shen Tian did not appear.
Liu Taiyi and Shopkeeper Song exchanged a look and thought to themselves, Is it not grand enough for our Senior Brother?
They nodded at each other and took out a flag each, and started waving in front of the disciples.
In an instant, the Divine Firmament disciples released their long swords, and the swords flew around in the air.
Soon, the swords formed the character "Tian" in the air, looking extremely splendid.
"Top among the Immortals and pride on earth! We will reach Immortal Ascension if we follow him every day!
"The Favored Ones from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground welcome Senior Brother Saint!"
Boom!
Nine Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans exploded in the air and produced an awesome firework.
That was the Ceremonious Explosion Talisman made by Qin Yundi after Liu Taiyi and Song Fugui had suggested it. They believed it would help in the grand entrance of the Saint.
The Saint would appear after the firework. Everyone would cheer for him!
That was the grand opening they were talking about!
Many disciples from Divine Firmament refused to do it initially as it was a very embarrassing thing to do in front of other sects...
However, everyone was willingly doing it now.
The reason was very simple—their Senior Brother was very generous!
Before the flying vessel reached the Primordial Battlefield, Senior Brother Yundi had passed them a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid each under the Saint's instruction.
The Nirvana Holy Liquid was a legendary item that could heal any wounds!
Even if it was just 1mL, it was still very precious.
That was not something that could be measured by any amount of money!
The Saint had given each of them a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid for free before the trial—it was just too generous!
Everyone liked such leaders, and they could do any embarrassing things for them!
That was how things turned so dramatic right now.
The other talented disciples from other sects were even saltier now, especially the top Foundation Establishment cultivators in their sect. They began to stare at their Junior Brothers.
Look at what the other Junior Brothers are doing! They are helping their Senior Brother so much!
Look at you! What have you done for me!
I'm so jealous, so envious, so salty!
They felt worse after seeing the 'performance', and more disciples started to gossip.
"He is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator! Who does he think he is? This is even more spectacular than welcoming a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"No wonder the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground declined over the past years. Just look at what they've been doing!"
"Even the Saint is so boastful. Such a disappointment."
"Seems like there is nothing special about this Saint after all!"
Everyone had a negative impression of the Saint now.
The door of the flying vessel opened, and a man in a white robe walked out.
All the gossip stopped out of a sudden.
What a man!
His eyes were like stars in the sky. He had long hair and a handsome look! He looked just like an immortal visiting their world!
He was wearing a simple white dragon robe, yet he looked so graceful!
No one could question his looks! No one could doubt his charm!
Even the most shameless disciple right here could not say that he looked better than this white-robed man.
Even the most reserved female present could not take her eyes off this handsome man!
The man walked toward the crowd step by step. There was a very nice smell coming from him, and everyone was attracted by it. Even butterflies began to fly around this man and circled around him.
He walked down the flying vessel and took a step out—the dried grass patch around him was rejuvenated in an instant!
The yellow grass began to turn green rapidly, and flowers started to bloom.
As he walked, more flowers blossomed, and more butterflies gathered around him. He was like an immortal walking on earth and bringing life to it!
All the disciples were shocked.
WHO IS THIS HANDSOME MAN?
A plant recovered from the shock first. It was the spout of the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash. It was staying on top of Li Lian'er's head until it saw Shen Tian.
It could not maintain its chill anymore. It bent its own stalk and straightened it out of a sudden. It flew out together with the flower pot toward Shen Tian.
Shen Tian almost used Lightning Fist to hit this incoming flower pot!
Seeing that Shen Tian was holding the spout with care, Li Lian'er was very happy.
No one knew that this girl could have such an expression. She was really glad that the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash was close to Shen Tian.
It is indeed the proof of our love! That's why it is so attracted to Brother Shen!
She was worried that the calabash had never seen Shen Tian before, and thus it would not like Shen Tian. To her surprise, it liked Shen Tian a lot and even jumped into his arms!
Li Lian'er ran up to Shen Tian and said, "Brother Shen! You finally came to see me! Lian'er missed you so much!"
There was a commotion in the crowd again after hearing this.
"Shen Tian? He is Divine Firmament's new Saint? OMG! He is soooo amazing!"
"What a look! What a charm! Is he really human? Are you sure he is not an immortal or some kind?"
"He is covered in vigor. Butterflies follow him, and the earth rejuvenates when he walks on it! I have never heard of it before!"
"I thought those disciples were too dramatic! I was so wrong!"
"No wonder the disciples are so supportive of him. He is indeed better than Fang Chang and Zhang Yunting!"
"No other man could bring up my interest now after seeing him. I'll only marry Shen Tian and no one else!"
"I'll rather be Shen Tian's concubine than someone else's wife! No one can force me otherwise, or I'll kill myself!"
"I thought I'm the most handsome man in Eastern Wilderness. Who would have thought the Divine Firmament Saint would be so charming. I've lost completely. I'll admit that I'm in second place now!"
"I'm third!"
"I'm fourth!"
"I'm 10,086th!"
"Divine Firmament's new Saint is really amazing. I'm in love!"
The tide had turned completely as everyone was mesmerized by Shen Tian's looks.
However, Shen Tian was stunned by the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash.
Why do I smell like the holy liquid? I just used it to take a bath!
I can understand why butterflies are flying around me, but what are these wasps doing? Are they going to sting me?
I'll break their stingers with my Mixed Divine Lightning if that happens!
And what is wrong with these grass and flowers?
Seriously, it's not that I'm not trying to step on them.
But they just keep growing wherever my feet land!
Why? Just because I'm handsome, I can beautify the environment around me too?
Did I not fully absorb the power of the Nirvana Holy Liquid yet? And it is volatilized into the air?
Shen Tian frowned at the thought of it, and he felt he had wasted a lot of money.
However, his expression was misread by others.
The Saint frowned! Why did he frown?
I heard that the Saint could see the future.
Did he see the pitiful fate of many disciples here that they would be in danger? He is feeling sorry for them now!
He is such an awesome Saint! He is charming and caring at the same time! I'm in love!
Shen Tian's appearance conquered everyone!
"Brother Shen! Lian'er took care of the calabash very well!" Li Lian'er said smilingly, "See, the spout is out already!"
Shen Tian nodded. Honestly, he was very fond of this little loli, as long as her father was not around.
"It has indeed grown. It's really cute."
Shen Tian touched the leave with his hand, and something came into his mind.
He took a red bottle out of his Archeon Sea Ring, and it contained a white liquid.
The calabash danced even more vigorously now.
Apparently, it wanted the liquid very much!
Shen Tian laughed. It was the Nirvana Holy Liquid that he had used to bathe just now.
He dripped one drop onto the calabash, and it instantly absorbed the liquid. It looked much greener now.
"Interesting!"
Shen Tian put the pot back onto Li Lian'er's head. Then, he diluted another 10mL of the liquid and fed it to the spout.
The spout drank the liquid quickly, and it emitted a green light before starting to dance even more vigorously. The entire spout was making a wave with its body as though it was high on drugs.
POP!
In the end, it used its vine and pulled its root out of the pot!
Shen Tian was shocked by what he saw.
What is happening now? Is this calabash drunk?
Did it think it was on the dance floor?

Chapter 199: Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' Old Flame
Shen Tian was very relieved when he saw that the calabash liked its present very much.
After all, this was a calabash baby, which he had obtained from a Spirit Ore. It was natural he would have some feelings for it.
Shen Tian handed the red bottle to Li Lian'er with a faint smile. "This bottle contains refined Nirvana Holy Liquid. It can be used to treat injuries and cultivate Spiritual Wood.
"Since little calabash likes it, please accept it, Junior Sister Lian'er!
"But remember not to ingest it yourself!"
To be honest, the Sword Master Token the Li Family had gifted had been of great help to Shen Tian. He had been able to avoid many dangerous situations because of it.
Giving this refined Nirvana Holy Liquid to Li Lian'er was akin to returning that favor.
Li Lian'er accepted the little red bottle with a brilliant smile. "Brother Shen is so good to our calabash!"
Shen Tian patted Li Lian'er on the head. He felt somewhat displeased at the sight of the red and gold halo above her head.
She was the first person Shen Tian had met in the Myriad Spirit Garden, but she only had the providence of a red and gold halo. It just wasn't enough!
In addition, Shen Tian could see the faint fortuitous opportunity image above Li Lian'er's head.
This was probably the fortuitous opportunity she would soon encounter when she entered the Primordial Battlefield.
But in Shen Tian's opinion, this fortuitous opportunity didn't appear very valuable. It was far below that of a Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash.
Not only that, after entering the small town, Shen Tian had also seen the fortuitous opportunity images above the heads of Qin Gao, Qin Yundi, and the rest.
But most of them were of Spirit Ores, defeated demons, and Spirit Fruits on the Primordial Battlefield. These were considered a bit more valuable.
However, compared to the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash, the Demon Book of Hyuga, and the Epochal Electrolysis, they were still very much inferior.
It was clear that as lucky as a person was, it was not possible for every single fortuitous opportunity they encountered to be a great one.
Most of the time, they would only meet rather ordinary fortuitous opportunities. But it was still better than nothing.
He wondered whether Li Lian'er would encounter a greater fortuitous opportunity if he helped to enhance her providence.
An idea suddenly popped into Shen Tian's mind, and he decided to give it a try.
Shen Tian took an exquisite sandalwood box out of his Archeon Sea Ring. Inside the box was a lovely bottle made of white jade.
The number "5" was written in gold lacquer on the bottle.
It represented the fact that there were five liters worth of Nirvana Holy Liquid inside the bottle.
When Shen Tian had first returned to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he had done something very important. And that was to divide out the holy liquid into bottles!
Shen Tian had not been prepared during that time at the Fog Plain. He only had about 200 bottles inside his Archeon Sea Ring.
To contain an entire Nirvana Holy Liquid pool, Shen Tian had filled every single one of those bottles with holy liquid.
Most of the bottles were filled to the brim with 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid. Some of the larger bottles contained over 100L.
But there was a very big problem with having a bottle filled with over 50L of liquid. It was too extravagant.
For example, that time at the White Lotus Mountain, the Big Dipper Saint had been so shocked that he started to doubt himself and nearly had a mental breakdown.
More importantly, it was difficult to give away a bottle filled with over 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid!
After dragging out the entire bottle, it didn't look nice if he were to siphon off just a few liters as a gift.
It made him look so stingy!
He had a reputation to upkeep!
If he wanted to maintain his good image, he would have to give an entire bottle.
But over 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid? That's too much!
Although Shen Tian had obtained about 25–30kL[1] of Nirvana Holy Liquid from the valley of fog previously, he still could not afford to be overly generous with it!
After all, if you gave out 50L each time, you would be left empty-handed after 500–600 giveaways, right?
With that thought, Shen Tian had specially visited Divine Firmament City and ordered over 1,000 gift boxes and several tens of thousands of jade bottles.
Thereafter, he had spent half a day dividing out the remaining Nirvana Holy Liquid into green jade bottles, white jade bottles, and gold-lacquered jade bottles.
The green jade bottles numbered the most. He had 10,000 of them, and each contained half a liter of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
These bottles were made of smooth, lustrous jade carved with all sorts of exquisite patterns. They looked very lovely.
Compared to the bottles Shen Tian had earlier, they looked much more presentable.
As for the white jade bottles, the carvings on them were even more exquisite. They were also packed into expensive sandalwood boxes.
Every single box only had one white jade bottle inside. Each bottle contained 5L of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
Shen Tian had prepared 1,000 such white jade bottles in their gift boxes. He was reserving them as gifts for those young talents with great providence.
After all, one could only open doors with a gift in hand.
Meeting a young talent with a great fortuitous opportunity on their head for the first time—how to get close to them and get them to trust you?
The simplest and most direct method was to offer up the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
They would immediately feel more chummy toward you and treat you like a brother!
The exquisite sandalwood gift box represented the form, while the Nirvana Holy Liquid inside represented the substance.
With both form and substance fully accounted for, no one would be immune to Shen Tian's friendly overtures!
Thereafter, he could easily reap the harvest of his efforts!
At the same time, the providence of those who had received Shen Tian's Nirvana Holy Liquid would be boosted.
In this manner, Shen Tian's harvest would be even more bountiful!
It would just be a matter of time before Shen Tian accumulated enough providence to become the most blessed figure in the whole cultivation world!
He had planned everything splendidly.
The final batch was contained in the most prestigious gift boxes.
The box was forged from Spirit Stones and was best for preserving the Spirit Qi and preventing the energy from dissipating.
There were dragons and phoenixes carved on those gift boxes, as well as the 10 great divine guardian beasts of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. It also had Saint Shen Tian's personal signature.
In addition, the bottle within was made from the most precious Spirit Gold lacquered onto supreme-grade Spirit Jade to make the very rare and very expensive gold-lacquered bottles.
The bottle alone could fetch up to 1,000 Spirit Stones in price. It was an extremely luxurious and premium item.
These high-end gold-lacquered bottles contained 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
They were meant as gifts only for the most important occasions—for example, his Master's birthday or when meeting his in-laws for the first time.
Shen Tian had ordered only 100 of these special gift boxes and bottles.
After all, Shen Tian didn't think there would be many opportunities for him to hand out such an extravagant gift.
Shen Tian believed that he might end up using these himself.
,000 green jade bottles, each containing half a liter of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
,000 white jade bottles, each containing 5L of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
100 gold-lacquered jade bottles, each containing 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
kL of Nirvana Holy Liquid were settled in this way.
As for the remaining 10kL or so, Shen Tian had stored it in a special magical jade bottle.
This magical jade bottle was a supreme-grade spirit artifact that Heavenly Venerable White Lotus had given to Shen Tian. It was perfect for storing and preserving Spirit Pills and miracle elixirs.
After Shen Tian had given nearly 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid to Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, she had gifted him this magical jade bottle after some consideration.
The remaining 10kL of Nirvana Holy Liquid was stored in this magical jade bottle so that the liquid could be preserved for as long as possible. The magical jade bottle might even have some purifying properties on the liquid.
As for its worth, it was much more valuable than even a Black Tortoise Armor!
Moreover, the magical jade bottle also contained quite a number of pills for poison, illusion-breaking, rejuvenation, nourishment, tonification, and so on. They had all been given to him by Heavenly Venerable White Lotus.
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus had personally created those pills, and they were of the highest quality.
Although not as good as the Nirvana Holy Liquid, the pills were still precious and highly-coveted by many Eastern Wilderness cultivators.
It could be seen that Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was still very reasonable. She had tried to match the value of her gifts to that of the Nirvana Holy Liquid that Shen Tian had given her.
Not at all like a certain elder.
Shen Tian was now handing a white jade bottle containing 5L of Nirvana Holy Liquid to Li Lian'er.
The sandalwood box had been opened, and the superior-grade white jade bottle glimmered in the sunlight.
Shen Tian smiled. "This bottle contains 5L of Nirvana Holy Liquid. It can be used to treat injuries. Junior Sister Lian'er, please accept this. Do take care of yourself while in the Primordial Battlefield."
After Shen Tian passed the Nirvana Holy Liquid bottle to Li Lian'er, the halo light above her head gave a big tremor.
More gold spots appeared, and the light became brighter. Even the fortuitous opportunity image above her head looked clearer and more consistent. Not only that, there seemed to be a new fortuitous opportunity forming behind the current image...
Shen Tian couldn't help musing; he really had to carefully analyze the link between providence and fortuitous opportunity!
As for Li Lian'er, her face blushed a pretty pink after receiving the sandalwood box.
So Brother Shen had also specially prepared a gift for me!
This box and bottle are so beautiful!
Brother Shen must have put in a lot of effort to prepare this gift for me!
But I have no idea why Brother Shen kept glancing at the top of my head when giving me the gift.
Could he be looking at calabash? I never imagined that Brother Shen would dote on the calabash so much!
This is all thanks to our love!
At this point, everyone's eyes were on Shen Tian.
He was a handsome man full of vigor. When standing together with Li Lian'er, the sight of this perfect couple filled everyone with covetous longing, especially the women. Not a single one of them didn't wish to take Li Lian'er's place and become the one standing by Saint Shen Tian's side.
After all, which young lady didn't hanker for romance in her life?
At this point, Shen Tian's Hariti Rosary Beads started to vibrate intensely.
"Master, there is an aura of resentment in the air. It is coming from Little Spirit Fairy and His Highness Shen Ao!"
Little Spirit Fairy? Shen Ao?
Shen Tian was startled. He looked in the direction where Jiu'er was pointing at.
All he saw were two pairs of resentful eyes fixed upon him. Who else could it be, if not Little Spirit Fairy and Shen Ao?
After such a long time, Shen Tian was reunited with them, so he felt very happy upon seeing Little Spirit Fairy and Shen Ao.
But why did they look so bitter?
Could they be... jealous?
Well, he had just given Lian'er a plant-cultivating liquid and a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
But the two of them hadn't gotten anything. It was natural they were feeling unhappy and envious.
Shen Tian was not one for showing favoritism.
Although Little Spirit Fairy was a rather scheming character, she was still an important girl in Shen Tian's heart... She had her value.
Helping raise Little Spirit Fairy's providence now would make it easier for him to benefit from her fortuitous opportunities in the future!
As for Shen Ao, Shen Tian did feel rather abashed.
Ever since he had transmigrated—apart from the King of Fire, Shen Xiao—Shen Ao had been the closest person to him amongst all his royal relatives.
Blood was thicker than water. One could not forsake one's own blood ties!
At this thought, Shen Tian took another two sandalwood boxes out of his Archeon Sea Ring and gave them to Little Spirit Fairy and Shen Ao.
"Sixth Brother, Junior Sister Ling'er, I have prepared these for you two. They also contain 5L of Nirvana Holy Liquid.
"Please be careful during this Primordial Battlefield trial. You are both very important people to me."
Shen Tian's Hariti Rosary Beads stopped vibrating the moment he said those words. "Master, their resentment has totally vanished."
"I never imagined that Brother Aotian's real name is Shen Tian! Thank you, Brother Shen!"
Little Spirit Fairy gave a brilliant smile as she accepted the sandalwood box. All the men around her gaped at the lovely sight.
"Detestable! Not only is this Divine Firmament Saint flirting with Fairy Lian'er, but he's trying to steal Fairy Ling'er from me too!"
"But why, oh, why don't I feel the slight bit of resentment?"
"Damn it, why do I feel that Fairy Lian'er and Fairy Ling'er should rightfully belong to this guy?"
"Damn my rebellious soul! Why am I only thinking of congratulating them?"
"That's because you are all ugly! Ugly people are not fit to feel resentment!"
"The Divine Firmament Saint is so dashing. We are so envious of Fairy Lian'er and Fairy Ling'er. How we wish we could also snuggle in the Divine Firmament Saint's arms like them!"
"1"
"1"
"1"
A flurry of secret conversations was ongoing in the crowd of disciples.
They communicated via their collective divine consciousness. The air was filled with the sour taste of envy and desire.
As Shen Ao gazed at the smiling Shen Tian, he couldn't help feeling extremely conflicted.
To be honest, since stepping into the cultivation world, Shen Ao's world view had been greatly affected. He had been the rare, talented prodigy inside the royal house of the Country of Fire. He had been the pride of everyone since a young age.
But after entering the Grand White Grotto-Heaven, Shen Ao had realized his talents were not as great as he thought.
Li Changge and Li Lian'er were both more powerful than him.
Even amongst the disciples training in the Primordial Battlefield now, he was at most an average talent.
But that ill-fortuned 13th Prince whom he had been avoiding all the time had now suddenly become a saint in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Everyone's eyes were on him. Everyone wanted to crowd around him.
On top of that, Fairy Xiao Ling—the one who had been so highly praised by their teachers and had been touted as "unbeatable"—was now one of 13th Prince's most loyal fans.
It must be said that Shen Ao's pride had taken a huge beating.
If he could endure this, he might emerge even stronger and tougher than before, like a sword that had been polished and sharpened.
But if he failed to overcome this obstacle and suffer a mental breakdown, he might end up giving up on himself entirely.
Shen Tian was slightly taken aback at the sight of Shen Ao staring blankly at him.
Does Sixth Brother think I have given him too little holy liquid?
At the thought of this, Shen Tian took another sandalwood box out of his Archeon Sea Ring. He shoved two boxes into Shen Ao's arms.
"Sixth Brother, you and I are biological brothers. I hope you won't bear a grudge over the misunderstandings that happened at the Myriad Spirit Garden and the palace!"
Shen Ao accepted 10L of Nirvana Holy Liquid in a daze. He asked in confusion, "Myriad Spirit Garden... What misunderstanding?"
Shen Tian was momentarily taken aback and broke out in cold sweat.
Shopkeeper Song, who was standing behind him, was even more fretful.
Shen Tian gave a small cough. "Nothing. It's not important. Let bygones be bygones!"
Oh!
Shen Ao suddenly recalled everything!
That's right—it was because the 13th Prince had claimed to be Shen Aotian while in the Myriad Spirit Garden. As a result, Fairy Xiao Ling had thought His Highness was Shen Aotian.
She had gone straight up to His Highness and insulted him for being ugly.
Detestable. His Highness had never suffered such wrongful treatment!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Shen Ao took a deep breath.
"Thirteenth Brother, it was just a small misunderstanding. I never took it to heart. As for this holy liquid, you better take it back! I still have many healing pills. Moreover, I am practicing the way of the sword and have my pride. I am not used to—"
Before Shen Ao could finish his sentence, the voice of Supremacy Zi Yang suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Blockhead, blockhead! My foolish disciple. Accept it, accept it!
"Do you know how valuable this Nirvana Holy Liquid is? I won't be able to afford a bottle even if I sell myself!
"If only I had a brother like yours in my time. I wouldn't have had to struggle so much.
"Ao'er, don't be so ignorant of your own good fortune. Take it, take it!"
Shen Ao was completely stunned by Supremacy Zi Yang's sensational claims.
These are just 10L of Nirvana Holy Liquid. It can't be bought even if Master were to be sold?
When did Master become so worthless?
No way!
That can't be right. What kind of treasure is this Nirvana Holy Liquid? How could it be so valuable?
Shen Ao's heart twisted even more at this thought!
They were both the descendants of the Country of Fire. But the 13th Prince's gift was enough to buy two Masters for him.
Mother, I have let you down!
But after further consideration, he recalled that his mother had not been as doted upon as Concubine Lan. In fact, his own mother had been one of Concubine Lan's many fangirls.
Mmm, in this case, it was quite normal for him to lose out to the 13th Prince!
The turmoil in Shen Ao's heart suddenly cleared after he managed to find that excuse.
It was like his Sword Heart had undergone a round of fortification. As a result, his Sword Dao improved greatly within a short amount of time!
Shen Tian couldn't help feeling worried as he observed the constantly changing expression on Shen Ao's face.
Sixth Brother, aren't I already giving you two bottles of the Nirvana Holy Liquid? You should at least try to be civil!
What's up with all those expressions on your face!
At this thought, Shen Tian said in exasperation, "Sixth Brother, this is a token of my sincerity. You and I are brothers after all—"
Before Shen Tian could finish his sentence, Shen Ao interrupted him. "Never mind, since Thirteenth Brother has shown such sincerity, I will accept it."
He accepted the two bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid with a smile and placed them into his own storage device.
After putting away the Nirvana Holy Liquid, Shen Ao felt like he was also putting away his competitive and petty feelings toward Shen Tian.
In this world, there would always be some people favored by the heavens. They were the key figures of their generation, and no ordinary people could compare to them.
It would be self-destructive to try and go against such people.
Shen Ao understood that now. He was now completely enlightened.
Instead of secretly treating Shen Tian as his archnemesis, he should view him as his goal and role model.
Follow him, learn from him, help him, support him. Perhaps they could become partners and embark on the road to cultivation together!
His Sword Heart felt like it had also been polished. Shen Ao had gained a deeper understanding in the way of the sword now!
At this point, he could vaguely start to understand the Sword Dao mentioned by Supremacy Zi Yang...
What Sword Dao meant!
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief after Shen Ao finally accepted the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
As for Li Lian'er, she was watching the entire scene with a dazed expression.
The beautiful box and jade bottle... Didn't Brother Shen specially prepare them for Ling'er?
Why are there extra boxes and bottles?
Oh, could it be Brother Shen also prepared a few more sets for them?
Li Lian'er, Xiao Ling, and Shen Ao had each received some Nirvana Holy Liquid and were naturally very happy about it.
But the other talented disciples of the various sects felt very jealous.
They were jealous not because they didn't receive any Nirvana Holy Liquid.
To be honest, even the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Foundation Establishment disciples only got to know about the Nirvana Holy Liquid after Qin Yundi, and the rest explained to them.
All other disciples had no idea what the Nirvana Holy Liquid was.
They were feeling jealous purely because Li Lian'er, Xiao Ling, and Shen Ao were all standing together, looking all-too-harmonious.
The guys were jealous of Shen Tian while the ladies were jealous of Li Lian'er and Xiao Ling. In any case, the air was thick with jealousy!
At the same time, the Primordial Battlefield trial was about to start.
Up in the air, the elders of the two sacred grounds, six grotto-heavens, and 12 blessed-lands had already gathered.
The elder in charge of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, while the elder in charge of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground was Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance. They were both in their Soul Formation forms.
The other elders from the six grotto-heavens and 12 blessed-lands were in their Nascent Soul forms.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance was dressed in a long red dress. She looked absolutely stunning and had a beauty mark in her brow area, making her look even more divine.
She was already over 1,000 years ago but still looked as youthful as ever. She looked like a young lady of about 25 or 26 in age—the point in time when a female was at her most feminine and possessed the most womanly charms. It was enough to drive countless men crazy!
She gazed at Heavenly Venerable White Lotus with disappointment. "Is Senior Brother Chu not joining us again?"
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus gave Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance a sympathetic look. "If Senior Sister Scarlet Dance really can't forget him, why don't you go to Divine Firmament to look for him?"
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance shook her head. "He said that he is a dragon destined to fly high into the skies and ascend the immortal world. I swore that I would never seek him out before I succeed in Immortal Ascension!"
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus shook her head with a bitter smile as she gazed at Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's brave expression. How tough it must be on her.
Senior Brother Chu was a formidable practitioner. His powers were without peer, and he dominated everyone and everything.
How many young ladies were mesmerized by him back then? In the end, only Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance was barely worthy enough to stand by his side.
A pity that Senior Brother Chu had been too proud then.
He was clearly fond of this Junior Sister from the Jade Lake Sacred Ground but stubbornly claimed that "only an exceptional female who could ascend the heavens was good enough for him!"
In the end, the demure-looking but inwardly tough Senior Sister Scarlet Dance had been forced to swear that she would never seek him out until she achieved Immortal Ascension!
Thereafter, Chu Longhe had chosen to give up all his earlier cultivation and instead cultivate the Tinder Sutra. Both his providence and integrity had started to crumble thereafter.
Those Fairies, who had been so enamored with him, had become so disappointed that they all turned from his fangirls into his haters.
Gradually, those same Fairies had gotten together with other more honest and virtuous male disciples.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance was the only one who had never given up on First Senior Brother. Apart from daily trying and seeking out news about First Senior Brother, she would cultivate in seclusion.
Among all the Heavenly Venerables in Jade Lake Sacred Ground, Fairy Scarlet Dancer's cultivation level was already the top.
It was rumored that she was not far from reaching the Saint realm!
She was such an extraordinary lady but remained so steadfast toward Azure Lotus. Most of the people in Eastern Wilderness could not understand why.
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was the only one who could empathize with Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance.
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus sighed. "I will inform Senior Sister Scarlet Dancer if I receive any news about First Senior Brother."
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance looked very grateful. "Thank you, Junior Sister."
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus nodded. "On a similar note, the Divine Firmament Saint seems to have a similar origin as First Senior Brother. He also cultivates the Tinder Sutra.
"Moreover, First Senior Brother has been traveling and promoting his cause. Shen Tian is a disciple under both First Senior Brother and the Sacred Leader."
With that, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus gazed toward Shen Tian, who had a crowd of admirers around him.
"He is a disciple of Senior Brother Chu?"
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's eyes flickered as she also turned to look at Shen Tian.
At this point, the eyes of these two splendid female Heavenly Venerables seemed to sparkle with...
A strange motherly glow!

Chapter 200: Uncompleted Battle From Primordial Age
The Divine Firmament Flying Vessel descended. This time all sects entering the Primordial Battlefield trial had arrived.
Two gorgeous female Heavenly Venerables and 18 powerful Supremacies gradually appeared in the air. They exuded powerful auras and radiated bright luster, veiling their true appearance.
This was a special Dharma technique—Divine Light.
Its function was to purely create a mysterious vibe for cultivators and portray a high-end image.
This Dharma technique may not be practical, but it could make one look grand.
Many Supremacies had learned such a Dharma technique. Since their appearance was not enough, they used Dharma techniques to help!
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance looked at Xiao Ling'er and Shen Tian, her eyes betraying a shred of relief.
She gradually spoke. "The Primordial Battlefield trial that occurs once in every five years has arrived once again. I believe everyone's seniors have already briefed you on things to take note of on the battlefield, so I will not repeat what you know. Anyway, everyone needs to remember this—dangers are hidden everywhere in the Primordial Battlefield, safety is first!"
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus nodded. "What Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance said is true. Everyone has the 'teleportation jade talisman' that your respective sects have made. If you are to be injured seriously and lose the ability to continue, you will just need to pour in Dharmic powers, and you will be teleported out.
"However, you must remember two things.
"Firstly, if you activate the teleportation jade talisman, it will mean you have forfeited from this trial, and you won't be able to enter again.
"Secondly, when activating the teleportation jade talisman to return, you need to stand on the spot for three seconds. If you encounter any dangers, you must remember to find a safe place before returning!"
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance added, "Convention dictates that there should be a reward system for this trial too.
"Be it killing monsters like Skeletons, Bone Demons, or Blood Demons in the Primordial Battlefield, or finding spirit herbs and treasures in the Primordial Battlefield, you can bring them and exchange them with your sects.
"Also, the top 20 disciples that kill the most monsters will obtain rewards that the various major sacred grounds, grotto-heavens, and blessed-lands have prepared."
Upon saying that, a treasure box, exuding spirit light, appeared before everyone.
All the major sacred grounds', grotto-heavens', and blessed-lands' marks were carved in sequence on the box.
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus presented the rewards in the treasure box one by one.
"The top contestant of this trial will obtain the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's supreme-grade Spirit artifact, Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer!"
"The second place will obtain the Jade Lake Sacred Ground's superior-grade Spirit artifact, Black Spirit Bead."
"The third place will obtain the Crimson Dawn Grotto-Heaven's inferior-grade Spirit artifact, Red Amber Handkerchief."
"The fourth place will have the chance to head to the Grand White Grotto-Heaven and learn Sword Dao from Heavenly Venerable Long River for three months!"
As Heavenly Venerable White Lotus presented the rewards, the disciples were instantly thrilled.
One had to know that for the previous Primordial Battlefield trials, both major sacred grounds would normally give middle-grade Spirit artifacts as rewards.
Who would have thought that in this trial, not only had Jade Lake provided the superior-grade Black Spirit Bead for the first time, but Divine Firmament had even provided a supreme-grade Spirit artifact!
One had to know that a supreme-grade Spirit artifact was something that was infinitely close to Divine artifacts. There were even many supreme-grade Spirit artifacts that did not lose to normal-grade Divine artifacts in value. The only difference was that Divine artifacts contained the Sage-level energy of Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.
Meanwhile, as for the materials used to craft the artifact, in terms of the power it displayed in the hands of disciples with a low cultivation level, supreme-grade Spirit artifacts were not weaker than normal Divine artifacts. It was even to the point that to cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, supreme-grade Spirit artifacts might even be stronger!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was actually willing to provide a supreme-grade Spirit artifact as a reward in this Foundation Establishment trial. It was evident how important they viewed this Primordial Battlefield trial.
In an instant, many geniuses from grotto-heavens and blessed-lands were full of enthusiasm. They wanted to obtain this Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer. Once they obtained it, their strength would experience a drastic increase!
However, when they looked at Shen Tian, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured onto them, extinguishing their enthusiasm.
Fighting for first place with this fellow? How was it possible?
At that moment, the grotto-heavens' and blessed-lands' geniuses seemed to have suddenly understood the sacred ground's scheme!
It was obvious that Divine Firmament was assured that Shen Tian would obtain first place. After all, only if Shen Tian obtained first place would they get back the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer!
Shen Tian obtaining the reward was just the same as returning it to Divine Firmament—they would suffer no loss.
It was just a gimmick!
"Looks like this Divine Firmament Saint's strength cannot be underestimated!"
"The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is so daring. They actually directly used a supreme-grade as their reward."
"They're too arrogant! Aren't they afraid that something might go wrong?"
"Something might go wrong? Are you kidding!? Just from what he showed us earlier, how could we fight with him?"
"I give up, give up! Competing for first place against the Divine Firmament Saint? Let's just fight for the second Black Spirit Bead!"
"The third Red Amber Handkerchief is quite good too. I heard it could control the Bing Fire Essence. Although its power cannot be compared to exceptional fires, it's quite fearsome!"
"Why is no one gunning for fourth? I heard that Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan, is the 'best swordsman below Sage'?"
Before the trial even began, almost all the disciples had given up on fighting for the first place.
There was no other way. Shen Tian's grand entrance and appearance were so impressive that it just made everyone feel like submitting.
All of them were just Foundation Establishment cultivators, but his appearance was even more high-profile and cooler than Nascent Soul cultivators. How could they compare with him!?
Since he had peerless looks, he had to endure everyone's pursuit and praises. It was lonely at the top. That was the pressure a handsome-looking man must endure!
Now that the trial was about to begin, Shen Tian also started to search for his teammates at full speed.
The Primordial Battlefield's situation was special. It was filled with all kinds of Yin Spirit beings, remnants of the battle back in the Primordial Age, and they were extremely sensitive to Yang creatures—living beings.
Thus, once a team had too many people, it would easily attract numerous Yin Spirits, which in turn would surround them, and even the more powerful Yin Demons would appear.
The Primordial Battlefield was not all filled with voids and turmoils, and it did indeed restrict the cultivator's strength.
However, the strange demonic creatures, which had been bred through the combination of the ancient powerful beings' corpses and the evil spirits, were not affected at all.
The Primordial Battlefield did not lack fearsome existences like Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or even Soul Formation beings.
Due to the influence of the laws in the Primordial Battlefield, the desire to kill and bloodlust completely controlled these demonic creatures. They would slaughter and devour each other continuously.
Although such demonic beings' intelligence was extremely low, their battle prowess was something that human Foundation Establishment cultivators could never rival.
To those demonic creatures, groups of human cultivators were definitely extremely delicious food. If 100 Foundation Establishment cultivators were to really travel together, their Yang aura would shoot through the roof, and in less than half a day, they would be wiped out.
Every five years, the frightening Nascent Soul, and above, beings would disappear from the Primordial Battlefield's outer perimeter. Thus, it was the best chance for cultivation sects to send disciples to train during that period.
Foundation Establishment cultivators could form teams to enter the Primordial Battlefield.
It was worth mentioning that plenty of Perfected Immortals that had descended to this world had died during that shocking war 10,000 years ago.
As for cultivators below the Sage stage, they could only be counted as cannon fodder in that battle and had easily been wiped out.
Meanwhile, their blood, seven spirits, and three souls were then scattered onto the battlefield and absorbed by the battlefield.
After 10,000 years, all kinds of enormous but disorderly energy gathered, thus forming countless different types of demonic creatures, like Blood Demons, Bone Demons, and Evil Demons, in the Primordial Battlefield.
At the same time, there were also various precious spirit herbs and peerless treasures that were extremely difficult to find in the outside world.
The "Dragon Blood Grass" that could only grow by using a pure Blood Dragon's blood to water it, "Sword Heart Fruit" bred by sword intents of countless supreme Sword Dao cultivators after they died, extremely rare treasures left by Perfected Immortals after they were killed, as well as those "Divine artifacts", "Divine Fruit", "astonishing inheritances" that had converted to Spirit Ores and buried underground were such example!
One could say that the Primordial Battlefield was definitely Eastern Wilderness' most dangerous forbidden land.
However, at the same time, it was also a land with the most treasures in the entire Eastern Wilderness.
Lian'er's Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash and Zhang Yunxi's Divine Firmament Drager Pendant were all obtained from a Primordial Battlefield's outer perimeter!
According to rumors, a supreme Immortal artifact had appeared in the Primordial Battlefield near Country of Fire!
That was an invincible artifact, which had bred an Artifact Spirit by itself, something that even sacred grounds coveted.
It was a pity that this Immortal artifact had yet to be obtained by anyone.
It was hidden within this Primordial Battlefield, and its location could change anytime, awaiting its fated person.
Only after obtaining the recognition of the Artifact Spirit could one truly obtain control over the Immortal artifact.
It was a pity that although the number of people who had encountered the Immortal artifact was not in the few, the Immortal artifact had not recognized any of them as its master.
This was widely recognized as the biggest fortuitous opportunity of the whole Primordial Battlefield!
The teleportation circle for the Primordial Battlefield's outer perimeter had already been prepared.
Shen Tian's eyes widened as he tried to find those geniuses with fortuitous opportunities on top of their heads.
However, the people in the surroundings were just too many, and they were walking around. It was simply challenging to see clearly.
Li Lian'er, Xiao Ling, Qin Yundi, Eunuch Gui, Qin Gao, Shen Ao, and others had already gathered around Shen Tian.
After calculating roughly, Shen Tian's team members had already exceeded 10 people.
According to the things to take note of on the battlefield, it was already at full capacity.
Seeing those youngsters with fortuitous opportunities on their heads walk past him, Shen Tian felt like he was suffering a big loss—they were all possible gains he might obtain!
However, after turning to see the fortuitous opportunity scene on top of Zhao Hao's head, Shen Tian could not help but feel better.
When it came to things such as a fortuitous opportunity, quantity was never the answer—quality was forever more important than quantity.
Shen Tian was extremely relieved as Zhao Hao did not disappoint him!
His fortuitous opportunity was quite awesome.
No wonder he was an existence that could cause his Master's death!
Everyone walked side by side and slowly entered the teleportation circle.
As the array formation was activated, everyone felt that the space and light in front of them were distorted. When their line of sight returned to normal, they discovered they were already on a vast battlefield.
This was a barren land that was incomparably dead. The sky was dark red, the ground was dark red, and even the sun was dark red. It was as if everything on the battlefield was dyed in the color of blood.
There were no flowers or weeds on this battlefield, not a bit of greenery could be seen in a 1,000-mile radius.
It seemed like normal plants were unable to endure the fearsome aura of evil spirits and blood.
They could smell a faint smell of blood in the air.
They could also vaguely hear screaming and fighting sounds, as if it was from 10,000 years ago, magnificent and shocking.
Shen Tian and the others had appeared on a barren mountain. As they looked down, they could vaguely see figures fighting below.
Maybe those could not be called figures as when everyone looked clearly, they realized that those were not normal humans.
Those were skeletons. There was not a bit of flesh left on them, and the bones were exposed, shining coldly under the blood sun.
They were wearing armors of the Primordial Age. These armors might have been tough, extraordinary, and indestructible in the past, but as time passed, the Spirit Qi within them was lost, and they had long become rags.
Those skeletons were now wearing those armors and holding broken weapons to fight.
Their battle styles were extremely simple and savage. There was no use of Dharmic powers at all, just the simplest swinging of weapons to attack each other.
However, from their clashing swords' loud and vigorous sounds, it was evident that these skeletons' battle prowess was not weak.
The strength of each skeleton could be compared to normal Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was obvious they were heroic souls from the Primordial Age!
Due to certain unknown reasons, they were resurrected from their burial ground. Their fighting spirit was lit once again to continue the battle they had yet to complete in their previous life!
When looking at those skeletons, Shen Tian was slightly moved. It was as if his blood was boiling.
Is this the Primordial Battlefield? Even after 10,000 years, there's still such a scene!
It's unimaginable just what had happened 10,000 years ago!

Chapter 201: A Dynamic Battle!
Shen Tian and the rest fell into deep thought as they gazed upon the skeletons battling at the bottom of the mountain.
These soulless skeletons were the main battle targets of this trial for the disciples from the two sacred grounds, six grotto-heavens, and 12 blessed-lands.
They were the defeated fighters from the major battle during the Primordial Age.
These defeated fighters' skeletons had merged with the malevolent aura of evil spirits to give rise to these demonic beings.
As they had already lost a large part of their Divinity, their battle prowess was much weaker than when they were alive.
But to those Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were still a great challenge.
It could be said that most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators would have no advantage over these soulless skeletons.
They could be killed if they displayed a single moment of carelessness.
Qin Yundi narrowed his eyes, which flickered with worry. "There are a lot more skeletons here compared to the previous trial! Don't tell me we have been sent to the Primordial Battlefield's most advanced-level area?"
Most cultivators sent into the Primordial Battlefield for training would be kept within 1,000 miles of the borders.
The region within 1,000 miles of the Primordial Battlefield borders was kept especially safe and secure during this special event held once every five years.
But beyond the 1,000-mile boundary was the Primordial Battlefield's real inner regions.
It was rumored that they held the greatest terrors left behind from the Primordial Age. Nearly none of the cultivators who entered the inner regions managed to escape alive.
The teleportation circles outside of the battlefield would teleport within 100 to 500 miles of the borders at random. Nonetheless, the battlefield was rather chaotic, so it was not uncommon for deviations to occur.
According to Qin Yundi's experience, they had been teleported to the battlefield's inner regions.
The danger level here was far beyond that of the area near the borders.
"Senior Brother, we are in trouble."
After taking a deep breath, rows of Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns appeared behind him. There were a total of 64 guns.
Shen Tian shuddered at the sight of those pitch-black gun nozzles densely packed together.
This Qin Yundi was also an exceptional talent. He was able to maintain such perfect control over so many Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns at the same time.
His ability to control so many things at once was astonishing.
Compared to him, even the legendary Zhou Botong[1] would seem pathetic, right?
Shen Tian nodded. "Everyone must be on high alert. There is danger everywhere here."
Shen Tian's Purple Golden Hammer appeared in his right hand, and faint golden Divine Lightning crackled around his entire body. He looked exceptionally domineering.
He gazed above the heads of the crowd, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.
Shen Tian had been worried that his participation had caused a butterfly effect on Zhao Hao and the rest, such that their teleportation was messed up, and they would miss their fortuitous opportunities.
But as Shen Tian gazed at their halos, he could vaguely feel the general direction at which their fortuitous opportunities were.
This meant that not only could the red-colored providence show the time that the fated person would meet their fortuitous opportunity, but it also gave a general sense of where this fortuitous opportunity was.
There was no way Shen Tian would encounter any mishap or make any mistake with these details.
He was definitely well-primed to freeload their fortuitous opportunities!
But now, they had to clear this obstacle first!
"Thirteenth Brother, should we retreat now?"
Shen Ao swallowed hard as he surveyed the fighting skeletons.
They were standing at the top of a small barren mountain surrounded by scattered clusters of fighting skeletons.
Shen Ao took a quick count, and there were several hundreds of skeletons. There were also several hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators on their side.
Moreover, these skeletons looked like ordinary foot soldiers. There might be a big honcho lurking somewhere nearby!
They would be annihilated if that big honcho spotted them and decided to hunt them down.
To be honest, Shen Ao felt rather regretful following his thirteenth brother on this journey.
It seemed like his thirteenth brother's luck had not turned for the better!
Shen Tian surveyed the skeletons at the bottom of the mountain, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. "No hurry. You guys, stay here and wait for me."
With that, the newly-purchased silver interspatial ring on his fourth finger started to glow.
A Black Tortoise Shield flew out, and Shen Tian caught it in his hand.
"In such a dangerous place, it is better not to make too much noise."
Shen Tian faced the crowd. "Yundi, please ensure the Noise Reduction Array is activated for your Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns. Otherwise, do not fire a single shot.
"Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, Xiong Meng. It's the same for your Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans. Do not use them unless absolutely necessary.
"As for those skeletons at the bottom of the mountain, just give me a minute. I will open up a pathway for you all!"
At that, Shen Tian charged toward those skeletons.
Yes, he charged down the mountain all on his own.
The Shen Tian of today was utterly fearless.
Just one word—Reckless!
As the Primordial Battlefield's nomology was very chaotic, the Sword Kinesis Flight's speed was not fixed. It could be fast or slow without warning.
More importantly, the spatial order of the Primordial Battlefield was also very unstable. It was full of cracks.
It was very easy for one to accidentally fly into one of the cracks while using Sword Kinesis Flight and end up in god-knows-where.
It would be fine if one ended up somewhere near the borders of the Primordial Battlefield. But if one ended up in the deeper regions...
It would be a one-way road to death, even for a Perfected One!
Shen Tian didn't use Sword Kinesis Flight, but he was sprinting as fast as the wind. His running speed was astonishing.
It was just a few miles from the top of the mountain to the bottom. Shen Tian covered the distance within moments and swooped right into the midst of those skeletons.
The rest of the crowd at the top of the mountain broke out in cold sweat as they watched Shen Tian charge down the mountain wildly.
They knew that Shen Tian was the Divine Firmament Saint and very formidable, but this was still the Primordial Battlefield!
Everyone's cultivation levels had been suppressed back to the Foundation Establishment stage. Was it really alright for Shen Tian to dive into such a large crowd of skeletons in this manner?
As Shen Tian recklessly charged toward those skeletons, they all stopped fighting and turned toward him. Those soulless skeletons would only fight each other if there were no Yang creatures about. But the moment a Yang creature appeared, they would immediately launch a joint attack on it!
In reality, these skeletons were not humans.
Although these skeletons had a human shape, some had horns on their foreheads, some had wings on their backs, while some had beaks instead of mouths.
Nearly every skeleton had a feature that didn't belong to a normal human being.
It was very clear that most of them were beasts that had cultivated their way into human-form. But some of their bestial features had yet to completely melt off.
This humanoid demon form was one of the demons' cultivation goals. They would cultivate with the aim of morphing their bodies into human form.
After succeeding, not only would their powers increase, but they could even cultivate the humans' Golden Core Qi Refinement techniques.
Of course, many demons were unwilling to cultivate their human form. They would maintain their original forms while continuously strengthening themselves. They would use illusion techniques to morph into humans when necessary but would otherwise retain their bestial forms.
These two demonic cultivation methods had their own pros and cons, just like Qi Refinement and Body Tempering. It depended on one's own preference.
But it was clear that the majority of the skeletons before Shen Tian had chosen to cultivate their human form.
At this point, they had gone into a frenzy at the smell of fresh blood.
"Come at me, all of you! I am Shen Tian, and I am fearless!"
Shen Tian snorted as a faint golden lightning mark glowed between his eyes. Streaks of lightning crackled around his body.
A suit of battle armor was now materializing around Shen Tian's body. It looked very impressive with all the dazzling lightning streaks.
The Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor would only materialize after the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique was successfully cultivated.
It combined the advantages of the five types of lightning armor and was a huge boost to Shen Tian's fighting abilities.
As for its appearance, the Longyuan Divine Armor had been based on the Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor, and they both looked very similar.
After the Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor was fully formed, Shen Tian's attack, speed, defense, healing, and immunity were all greatly enhanced.
He had transformed into a golden figure standing proudly among the skeletons.
The full-body lightning armor created by the Black Tortoise Shield would send countless skeletons flying off when they tried to attack him. They crashed down several feet away, convulsing on the ground.
Meanwhile, the Purple Golden Hammer was covered in a thin layer of First Essence Heavy Water. Combined with the lightning, it was a truly formidable weapon.
Every time the hammer landed on those skeletons, it was enough to scatter their bones all over.
After the lightning spread across, the ghost fire in those skeletons' eyes would be extinguished, and they would turn back into lifeless, dead corpses.
Their ghost fire might be reignited if they were buried beneath the earth for another 10,000,000 years.
But would Shen Tian offer them such a chance?
The silver ring on his right hand glowed, absorbing all the scattered bones into it.
Don't underestimate these bone remnants. They were the bones of those huge demons during the Primordial Age.
Although the majority of their Divinity had already been lost, the remaining portion was still extremely precious and valuable.
Covered with a layer of First Essence Heavy Water, Shen Tian's Purple Golden Hammer was able to smash through diamond. Even so, it only left the slightest marks on those bones.
It could be seen just how durable those demon bones were.
Whether as a material for making weapons or as fertilizer for the various sects' medicine gardens, these bones were premium resources.
Boom!
Shen Tian swung his hammer wildly around.
Over a hundred skeletons had fallen victim to Shen Tian's Purple Golden Hammer in just a short period.
High up in the barren mountain, Zhao Hao and the rest gaped at the sight.
Was this Senior Brother Shen Tian's true power?
Even though they were at the Primordial Battlefield and their cultivation levels suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage—Shen Tian was still as powerful and mighty?
As everyone stood in awe and admiration, Shen Tian's expression shifted subtly.
His golden Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor dimmed slightly while his Purple Golden Hammer shrank a little.
Yes, it looked like his power bar was nearly drained.
Damn, what a load of empty bravado.
He only managed to sustain that impressive stance for a mere few minutes and could no longer hold it anymore. What a pathetic excuse of a man!
A substandard product!
Shen Tian sighed as his Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor faded away. It turned into an Azure Dragon Armor.
The battlefield was filled with all sorts of Spirit Qi, all gushing wildly into Shen Tian's body as the Azure Dragon Armor absorbed it all.
Using the Tinder Sutra's refinement, he transformed the absorbed Spirit Qi into a basic power source to rejuvenate himself.
The rate at which the Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor replenished Shen Tian's Spirit Qi was not inferior to that of the Azure Dragon Armor.
But in return, it also required much more Spirit Qi to maintain.
After changing to the Azure Dragon Armor, Shen Tian's internal energy finally went back to equilibrium mode. It even started to increase slowly.
Sighing again, he placed the Purple Golden Hammer back into his ring.
In the next second, a jade-green vine shot out of Shen Tian's right hand toward those skeletons like a long whip.
The vine's tip was dipped in the silver-colored First Essence Heavy Water and exploded on contact with the skeletons.
Bang!
Bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
The sounds of the vine making contact echoed through the air.
Within seconds, the speed at which Shen Tian was clearing the skeletons increased exponentially.
Several skeletons would be dismembered with every single lash of the vine. Even their ghost fires would be absorbed into the vine.
The east side of the barren mountain was soon completely cleared by Shen Tian.
The crowd standing atop the mountain continued to stare in a daze at Shen Tian.
With the flower pot on her head, Li Lian'er's cute little ahoge was standing straight up. "Brother Shen is indeed mighty. His vine is also very cool-looking."
Inside the flower pot, the calabash wriggled its body, as if in agreement with Li Lian'er's words. The calabash had grown by quite a bit after absorbing the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
Zhao Hao swallowed hard. "Is this Brother Shen's true power? So mighty! So formidable!"
Qin Yundi narrowed his eyes. "Senior Brother's fighting abilities are also full of color and artistry!"
Eunuch Gui gazed contentedly at Shen Tian.
"His Highness has finally come of age.
"If Concubine Lan could see how powerful His Highness is now, she would definitely be grinning from ear to ear!"
As for Shopkeeper Song, Liu Taiyi, and the rest, they had already taken out their Image Recording Crystals and started to record Shen Tian's great show of power.
Master Heavens was so dashing as he conquered the entire battlefield.
Of course they must record down this scene!
They could then watch it and learn from it in the future. It would be a great help to the cultivators!
It would also benefit the disciples in the Favored Ones group, especially the female ones. How thrilled every single one of them would be if they could see how gallant and debonair their Senior Brother was now.
They might swoon on the spot!

Chapter 202: Dragon Blood Grass In Holy Dragon Valley
500 miles away from the Primordial Battlefield...
Five young men in gorgeous dao robes appeared slowly.
They had a strong aura around them. Apparently, their cultivation foundation was very good.
Even though everyone's cultivation was suppressed below the Golden Core level, these men appeared to be invincible among the Foundation Establishment cultivators. They were comparable to a Golden Core cultivator in their peak!
In fact, these five were powerful cultivators with strength exceeding Golden Core cultivators.
They had a special plan in the Primordial Battlefield.
Also, they did not seem to be human cultivators at all as they had mighty wings on their back, which could produce gale easily.
One of them was tall and was wearing a long white robe. He was quite good looking, with his hand holding on to a brush Dharma artifact made from a crane's feather.
Another man was wearing a gray cloak and was expressionless. His cold attitude made others not dare to approach him. His face had yet to take the form of a human, and it looked like a vulture!
He was super ugly!
There was another man with golden armor and a pair of matching daggers on his back. He looked very dominant.
He was far more manly compared to the previous two.
In fact, he looked like a dagger himself—a dagger that could cut through any obstacles in his way!
Although he appeared to be very strong, he was not the leader of the team.
Their leader was a young lady in a colorful dress. She looked like she was in her 20s.
An opened peacock feather tail was on her back, and there was a mysterious light with five colors projecting all the avatars present in the world!
This five-color peacock was of an extremely strong demon lineage in the Southern Border. She had a pure Divine Beast bloodline and an incredible potential in cultivation!
"What a surprise. We have not yet encountered the Divine Firmament Saint up till now."
The man in golden armor snorted. "This Primordial Battlefield's nomology is very weird. Even my probing arts are affected."
Another female smiled and said, "Don't worry Golden Feather. The Saint will go deep in the battlefield for an experiential journey sooner or later. Heaven's Ridge surrounds the inner part of the battlefield. Thus, in order to reach the center, they must pass through this Blood Demon Valley. As long as we camp here for him, he has no way to run. The Saint is all yours to torture."
She had a beautiful voice, very pleasant to the ear.
However, the content of her words was rather aggressive.
Golden Feather, a talented demon cultivator of the Eagle race, nodded. He said, "White Spirit is right! The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is a big bully. Our Eagle race is not to be taken lightly! We will kill their Saint before wiping out Divine Firmament's other disciples! I'll let all humans know that the Eagle race is not weak! Fairy Kong Meng, thank you for lending us your strength!"
The lady in a dress nodded and said, "It's within my capacity."
These five demons were talented cultivators from the Feather Alliance, consisting of Southern Border's different races. They had set up multiple traps in the Blood Demon Valley.
They remained hidden in the dark after seeing groups of human cultivators entering the valley one by one. They believed that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's trial teams would eventually appear!
At that moment, Shen Tian and his group were 800 miles away from the center of the battlefield. There was a valley in front of them.
They were far from the edge of the battlefield, and thus the ground here was covered in much more blood.
More Undead Skeletons were wandering about in this area too.
They had to fight with these undead creatures while advancing forward. Shen Tian and Qin Yundi would help when the skeletons were too many to handle.
After the noise reduction array was added to 64 of Qin Yundi's Demon-Penetrating Guns, these guns' power increased drastically.
After a barrage of bullets, the speed of clearing the undead creatures was much faster, no matter how sturdy they were.
However, it was nothing compared to Shen Tian.
He equipped his Azure Dragon Armor and absorbed the Spirit Qi in the air. He would then refine it with his Tinder Sutra, and he worked like a perpetual motion machine.
The Divine Devouring Vine that was covered in First Essence Heavy Water was destroying everything that was in its way.
If Shen Tian did not have teammates around him, he would just use the Divine Devouring Vine to spin around him, and he would be unharmed no matter how many undead creatures were present.
Everyone was shocked by how strong Shen Tian was, especially the 6th Prince.
Is this really my Thirteenth Brother?
He was just a normal man with no cultivation a month ago!
Did he hide his power all these years?
He kept these powers hidden all these years!?
He is indeed Concubine Lan's son. He is not ordinary at all!
Shen Ao realized that he felt much better after he had dismissed the thought of comparing with Shen Tian.
He was surprised that Shen Tian had so much Nirvana Holy Liquid that could change a cultivator's fundamental talent.
He is even willing to give me 10L of it for free! He sincerely treats me as his brother! I feel so bad for excluding him for such a long time!
Shen Ao felt sorry for Shen Tian after recalling that his little brother had grown up in Lan's Palace alone with no love from the family.
I need to be a better brother in the future! After all, he gave me the Nirvana Holy Liquid!
Just as Shen Ao was lost in his thoughts, something flew toward him!
Shen Tian had thrown him a skeleton with a broadsword.
"This guy is relatively weak. You can train with him, brother!"
Shen Ao's mouth twitched upon hearing it.
What does it mean by this guy is weak? So you think I'm weak too?
Shen Ao was considered a genius cultivator and had never been humiliated before.
Shen Ao was about to shout, "I'll take 10 of them at once!" when the skeleton attacked with its sword. It sent Shen Ao flying backward a few meters away, so he decided to keep quiet.
What the hell? Why did these things look so weak before my little brother?
When it comes to me, they are buffed suddenly?
This is so unfair! They are going to pay for this!
Shen Ao was angry, so he pounced at the skeleton!
Dust Sword Art!
Wind Sword Art!
Willow Sword Art!
Tai Yue Sword Art!
Sunrise Sword Art!
Sun-Piercing Rainbow!
Clang!
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The skeleton blocked most of the attacks, and he only managed to scratch it on the surface.
Shen Ao was on the verge of tears.
Is this really a normal monster in the Primordial Battlefield?
Why can't I beat them?
Is my cultivation level fake??
Surprisingly, the attacks enraged the skeleton.
What do you want to do? Can't you just kill me like that handsome boy is doing with my friends?
You strike me multiple times and can't even break my defense? Isn't it obvious that you are just treating me like a sandbag?
Although I'm not human anymore, what you are doing is really inhumane!
Argh!
The ghost fire around the skeleton brightened, and its sword began to glow slightly. It bashed on Shen Ao, its power beyond his expectation. His sword flew away, and the skeleton quickly launched another attack.
There was no time for Shen Ao to react now.
Fear devoured Shen Ao.
Am I going to die like this?
What a joke, getting killed by a weakling monster?
I'm supposed to be a genius!
Then, someone dashed from afar and pierced the skeleton's skull with a red sword.
The skeleton dropped instantly, and its body started to disintegrate.
"Sixth Prince! Are you alright?"
It was Qin Gao.
Shen Ao had a mixed feeling seeing that this little eunuch, who had been serving him before, had saved his life.
Just a few months ago, he had been the most talented cultivator in the Country of Fire, and he had a bright future.
On the other hand, Qin Gao had just been an extremely ordinary eunuch whose life depended on Shen Ao's mood.
However, this eunuch had become so powerful in less than a month after he had started following Shen Tian.
What Qin Gao did was more than a sneak attack just now.
His speed and his accuracy were no coincidence. He could handle the skeleton alone and destroy it in ten moves with ease!
Just like Shen Tian, Qin Gao had no cultivation level a month ago!
At that time, Shen Ao had already been a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He had also undergone Sword Venerable Long River's one-month training!
The result? Qin Gao was stronger than him now!
What magic does my little brother have to work out such a miracle?
Shen Ao put aside his mixed feelings and smiled bitterly. "Thanks, Qin Gao."
Shen Ao had punished Qin Gao before, and that was something that he could not forget. Nonetheless, his grudge against Shen Ao was nothing compared to his loyalty to Shen Tian.
Qin Gao smiled and said, "Your Highness, your sword arts are very amazing. You just have to increase your personal strength. You should refine the Nirvana Holy Liquid the 13th Prince gave you. It will make you much stronger, and these skeletons will be no match for you then."
Shen Ao started thinking.
So this Nirvana Holy Liquid is the reason why he and Eunuch Gui became so powerful in such a short period? Well, since it is an extraordinary item, it makes sense to have such an effect.
After comparing the current Qin Gao and how cowardly he was back in the palace, Shen Ao sighed.
The plant must be planted in the right environment indeed. Thirteenth Brother is really better than me!
Contrary to the mixed feelings Shen Ao had, Shen Tian felt very thrilled. He had destroyed all the skeletons before the valley.
There were some skeletons further away from where they were standing. However, they did not make any attack, so Shen Tian did not bother to kill these monsters.
What was more important was the thing that was hidden in the valley!
It was a fortuitous opportunity Shen Tian had seen in Qin Gao's halo. It belonged to someone with a red halo and golden spots.
Shen Tian found the entrance of the valley with ease, according to the images he saw.
The moment they walked into the valley, tremendous pressure attacked them, while a dragon's roar resounded.
A gigantic dragon skeleton, at least 10,000 feet tall, was in the middle of the valley!
It was the source of the enormous pressure!
A rusty sword was embedded in the dragon's skull, while beneath the dragon skeleton was a patch of red spirit herbs.

Chapter 203: How Can I Accept This Much Of Senior Brother's Fortuitous Opportunity?
Dragon-like scales were all over these spirit herbs, and its shape was also extremely similar to a Flood Dragon.
Each spirit herb was like a miniature version of a red dragon, and it was emitting heat.
The larger the spirit herb was, the darker the color was.
The color of the spirit herb that was the closest to the dragon's bones had even turned reddish-black!
Also, it no longer emitted heat. Instead, it was slightly cold as all of its energy was being stored within.
This spirit herb was named Dragon Blood Grass, and it only grew in grounds dyed with τηε blood of pure Blood Dragons that had died.
These spirit herbs were extremely precious and valuable as they could be used to help cultivators make pills and improve one's body constitution. The effect was powerful, especially for close-combat Godfiend cultivators. If they could obtain the Dragon Blood Grass and absorb it, they might even have the chance to obtain the Dragon Blood Power within it.
Then, each of their attacks would be enhanced with the dragon's aura, resulting in a drastic increase in their strength and speed.
After all, everyone acknowledged the dragon race's physique to be the most powerful!
The Dragon Blood Grass would be more effective for Foundation Establishment or Transcendence Godfiend cultivators.
After consuming the Dragon Blood Grass to enhance one's physical body, it would be able to form the strongest foundation for one. In other words, it was extremely beneficial to the cultivator's future development.
Even in the whole Primordial Battlefield, such a spirit herb was also an invaluable fortuitous opportunity.
However, at this mountain valley, the Dragon Blood Grass was present almost everywhere.
"Senior Brother, you are indeed the Son of Providence favored by the heavens!"
Qin Yundi squinted his eyes in excitement. "We've found such a land of treasures after just entering the Primordial Battlefield for half a day!"
Shen Tian shook his head and said calmly, "It's not the time to be happy now. We must clear those guys in the mountain valley first."
That's right, there were monsters within the mountain valley.
Skeletons with sharp horns on their heads were wandering about. Their bones were no longer silvery-white but a strange pale red. Also, the larger their body, the darker the red color on them, and their aura exuded much more bloodlust.
These skeletons were far stronger than those outside the mountain valley. Each of the skeletons was already peak-stage Foundation Establishment ones.
Surprisingly, there were more than 10 dark red skeletons that unleashed an aura comparable to Golden Core human cultivators. It was obvious that after the dragon's blood had nourished these skeletons in this mountain valley, it was much more difficult to deal with them!
In Qin Gao's halo, Shen Tian had seen that a group of Undead Knights would charge into this Dragon Blood Mountain Valley and fight with those skeletons in about two days.
Qin Gao would rely on his breakneck speed to harvest over 10 stalks of Dragon Blood Grass during the chaos and escape.
That was to say, if Qin Gao and the others did not follow Shen Tian, then they would be separated by monsters later.
The others would encounter their own fortuitous opportunities while Qin Gao would come to this mountain valley.
In fact, that was normal during the Primordial Battlefield's trial. No one could guarantee that they would be with their teammates at all times—that was unrealistic.
When in the face of perilous situations, the survival chance of running for one's life separately was higher than by escaping collectively.
In Qin Gao's original fortuitous opportunity, he would only snatch a little over 10 stalks of Dragon Blood Grass before leaving.
However, Shen Tian was currently contemplating how to obtain every last stalk of Dragon Blood Grass, even its leaves to roots, as they were beneficial. It was invaluable in the cultivation market!
Wasn't it better to get it all?
What was fortunate was that although the Dragon Blood Skeletons were powerful, their intelligence could not be compared to humans at all.
Every skeleton was walking blankly without any aim, and even after colliding with other skeletons, there was no reaction.
It was obvious that they relied on their instincts to move.
Before discovering enemies, they almost did not have any thinking and judging ability.
Shen Tian and others lay in ambush halfway up the mountain valley. They completely concealed their presence and set up a Presence Concealing Illusion Array, successfully deceiving the Dragon Blood Skeletons.
"Junior Brother Yundi, distribute the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns, separate, and don't stand too close to one another."
Shen Tian said calmly, "Enhance the Noise Reduction Array, ensure that no noise will be made.
"The Dragon Blood Skeletons are powerful, but they have a fatal weakness—they are unable to unleash Dharma defense spells.
"Aim for their weakness, which is their soul flame, and strive for a one-hit kill!
"Let's clear the weaker skeletons first, then deal with the stronger ones. Does everyone understand?"
Everyone nodded with admiration. "Understood!"
Senior Brother Saint is able to think of such a despic— amazing method!
He fully utilized the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun!
Qin Yundi's eyes were filled with admiration.
He seemed to have found a new research direction!
Qin Yundi originally wanted to control the 64 Demon-Penetrating Guns and directly charge into the mountain valley, fighting those skeletons head-on. He would use firepower to overpower the skeletons. He had the confidence to kill tens of normal skeletons and three to five enhanced skeletons.
However, it would be difficult to deal with the other skeletons. If he were not careful, he might become minced meat.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian's method was much safer.
Hide and shoot!
Without presence and sound, coupled with the tiny Spirit Gold bullets, their attacking method was different from utilizing their swords, which would give them away.
These slow-witted skeletons would be unable to find where the attacks were truly coming from.
"Everyone prepare! Start attacking!"
Everyone had obtained a few Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns, so they used their divine consciousness to control them and aim.
Shen Ao had also obtained one gun. When looking at the short gun in his hand, Shen Ao was doubtful.
Such a normal-looking short gun is able to kill enemies from 1,000 steps away? Isn't this a joke!
One had to know that using Gun Kinesis to control the guns to kill the skeletons was not possible.
"Your Highness, let me show you how to use it."
Shopkeeper Song approached Shen Ao passionately and started to teach him how to use the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun.
He used his divine consciousness to lock onto a pale red Dragon Horn Skeleton in the outer perimeter of the mountain valley, and then he activated the array formation in the gun to explode the Lightning Talisman.
Bang!
The Noise Reduction Array was effective, and the gunshot's noise was suppressed to the minimum. Only a slight sound was echoed, but the Presence Concealing Array concealed it too.
The Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun vibrated gently, and a black bullet pierced through the air, directly shooting into Dragon Horn Skeleton's eye socket.
Bang!
The shot separated the Dragon Horn Skeleton's head from its body, and its Soul Flame was directly extinguished.
High precision sniping, one-hit headshot!
Shen Ao was so astounded that his common sense was gradually collapsing.
One had to know he had been cultivating his sword technique arduously, but he could not even defeat a weak normal skeleton outside the valley.
However, a super Dragon Horn Skeleton Soldier, enhanced by dragon aura, died from such a Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun.
This made Shen Ao question himself and have the thought of, "What's the use of training my swordsmanship."
When that Dragon Horn Skeleton collapsed on the ground, everyone became nervous. They were prepared to escape anytime.
However, the other Dragon Horn Skeletons did not seem to notice the death of one of their kind.
Or it could be said that their intelligence was too low, so they did not understand what it meant that the head of one of their kind had fallen.
Those skeletons only turned to look when they heard the Spirit Gold bullet collide with the skull, and then they continued wandering aimlessly.
Their fleshless faces were blank.
Upon seeing how slow they were to react, Shen Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, these Dragon Horn Skeletons were not the masters of the mountain valley. There were stronger existences in this dragon valley.
Only during this special period once every five years, all fearsome beings above Nascent Soul stage would hurry into the Primordial Battlefield's depths.
Therefore, the dragon valley was left only with these idiots, giving Shen Tian and the others a chance. Otherwise, their array formation would not be able to deceive high-level undead creatures.
Anyway, everyone took advantage of this BUG to crazily attack the Dragon Horn Skeletons.
Bang!
Bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
The skeletons' heads dropped to the ground, their Soul Flames extinguished.
Shortly after, more than half of the 100 skeletons in the mountain valley turned into bones, scattering all over.
At that moment, the blood-red skeletons finally noticed something, so they turned vigilant guard and looked around the mountain valley.
The Soul Flame on their foreheads flickered as if they were sensing something.
It was a pity that the skeletons, which could sense their enemies purely through smell, sound, and Yang aura, were unable to confirm the humans' positions and could only passively receive attacks. After all, Shen Tian and the others were within the Presence Concealing Array, which turned them invisible to the skeletons' senses.
Although the deep red skeletons could sense the Spirit Gold bullets' position, which in turn allowed them to dodge and attack them, they did not know how to reinforce others of their kin. Thus, they could only watch the normal skeletons beside them fall to the ground.
Shortly after, besides those deep red Dragon Horn Skeletons, the other pale red Dragon Horn Skeletons were all wiped out.
"Next are those Golden Core Dragon Horn Skeletons."
Shen Tian smiled slightly. Those skeletons' strength exceeded the normal skeletons'. They could even vaguely sense the Spirit Gold bullets' shooting trajectory from the sound when the bullets pierced through the air, and then they could dodge or counterattack.
However, in Shen Tian's opinion, if one bullet could not kill it, then just shoot a few more.
"Sixth Brother, Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, Zhen Zhijia, Xiong Meng, the five of you aim at that skeleton scratching its head in the east.
"Zhao Hao, Xiao Ling, Ling'er, Qin Gao, Uncle Gui, aim at that skeleton looking around and hitting its own chest in the west.
"Junior Brother Yundi, aim at that skeleton squatting down and playing with bones on the ground in the south."
"Reporting to Senior Brother, locked on targets!"
"Fire!"
Upon receiving Shen Tian's order, 15 Spirit Gold bullets pierced through the air at full speed and instantly shot at the three skeletons.
Argh!
The three skeletons seemed to have already sensed the incoming danger, and the Soul Flames in their heads shone brightly.
They waved the broken weapons in their hands to block the Spirit Gold bullets.
It was a pity that although they could block a Spirit Gold bullet, they could not block the many Spirit Gold bullets shooting from all directions.
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The Spirit Gold bullets shot off the three tough skulls in the air, extinguishing their Soul Flames.
One had to say, the skeletons' bones were relatively hard as the bullets did not even leave a crack on them. Thus, it could be seen that these skeletons were all fearsome beings with formidable strength when they had been alive!
Of course, the most important factor was the dragon aura's nourishment.
Upon seeing the three Dragon Horn Skeletons collapse on the ground, Shen Ao's face was filled with excitement.
He realized that he had fallen in love with such a special weapon, as it was much more convenient than spending so much effort to practice sword techniques.
Just with a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, we could instantly kill a high-level undead monster comparable to Golden Core cultivators, awesome!
"You can't see me at all! There's no other choice, I'm this powerful!"
Shen Ao reloaded, grinned, and said, "Senior Brother Song, where can I buy this Dharma treasure?"
Song Fugui smiled and said, "This is a half-finished product that is still in its research stage, so it is currently not for sale."
Seeing Shen Ao's disappointed face, Song Fugui said, "However, the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun was invented by Senior Brother Saint and Senior Brother Yundi.
"If Your Highness wishes to buy it, you only need to tell Senior Brother Saint. I think there won't be a problem then."
Shen Ao was stunned. "Such a powerful Dharma artifact was invented by Thirteenth Brother?"
No one was clearer than Shen Ao, just how powerful this Dharma artifact was.
One had to know that the Dragon Horn Skeletons' strength would not be weaker than Golden Core cultivators'.
Just five Foundation Establishment cultivators with the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun could instantly kill a powerful Dragon Horn Skeleton.
Then even if it really was a Golden Core cultivator, the outcome would not be much different.
If such a Dharma artifact could be mass-produced, its impact would not be weaker than a peerless immortal sutra's appearance.
Thirteenth Brother was really such a prodigy?
In that instant, Shen Ao fell in a daze. He cooperated with everyone while his mind was wandering off, and all the skeletons in the mountain valley were wiped out.
Only when Shen Tian started speaking did he regain his consciousness. "Everyone did very well. This was a perfect team battle!"
Shen Ao looked toward the mountain valley. He could only see that no more Dragon Horn Skeletons were standing in the mountain valley, only scattered bones were left.
Shen Tian had already walked into the mountain valley and picked up the broken bones. "These bones contain dragon aura, and its value is much higher than normal skeletons.
"This time, we borrowed Junior Brother Yundi's Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun so we could wipe out all these skeletons. Thus, Junior Brother Yundi should take half of these skeleton bones. Does anyone have any other opinions?"
Qin Yundi instantly revealed an astonished expression. "How could I accept this? It's Senior Brother's fortuitous opportunity! How could you share this much with me!?
"If not for Senior Brother Saint being blessed by providence, favored by the heavens, we would not have even been able to find this dragon valley!
"Also, it's due to Senior Brother's commands that we could wipe out all the Dragon Horn Skeletons without any casualties or injuries.
"I think that Senior Brother should take half of these skeleton bones and Dragon Blood Grass. We will share the remaining half equally. What does everyone think?"
Everyone agreed with what Qin Yundi said.
"I also agree. I think that Senior Brother Saint has contributed the most. You definitely need to take half!" Eunuch Gui said.
"I, Liu Taiyi, must say this to do Master Heavens justice! Without Master Heavens, we can't even get anything at all!"
"Senior Brother, I think you don't need to be humble. This is what you deserve," said Zhao Hao.
"Thirteenth Brother, you contributed the most, take it!"
"Ling'er agrees."
"Lian'er agrees."
"I agree too," said Eunuch Gui.
"Same for me!" Xiong Meng mentioned.
Upon seeing everyone's expression of "fanatic admiration", Shen Tian felt resigned and sighed.
Sigh... This is the worry of being too charismatic as a leader!
I have tried my best to share the gains with everyone.
In the end, no one agreed.
Sigh... I'm so troubled!

Chapter 204: Young Man, Do You Want Me?
"Nevermind. Since everyone wishes for this, then I'll take half then."
Shen Tian smiled and said, "Everyone, let's start gathering the Dragon Blood Grass! Remember not to be too rough with it in case you hurt its roots and leaves."
One had to know, the period that a complete Dragon Blood Grass could be preserved was much higher than damaged Dragon Blood Grass'. Also, the value of the complete Dragon Blood Grass was much higher too.
"Also, the soil dyed in the blood of dragon corpses and dragon's aura has turned into supreme-grade spirit soil, so everyone can gather some to bring back."
Shen Tian's words astonished everyone before they were enlightened!
Senior Brother is right!
If it were not for Shen Tian's reminder, they would have nearly ignored the spirit soil.
Dragon Blood Grass would grow on supreme-grade spirit soil, so it was the best choice to cultivate rare and precious herbs.
Thinking till here, everyone started gathering in full swing.
Shortly after, all the Dragon Horn Skeletons and Dragon Blood Grass were gathered. Even the height of the ground beside the dragon's corpse was shorter by over three feet.
Everyone's faces were filled with smiles of happiness and satisfaction.
Shen Ao looked at the treasure-filled storage bag in his hand and revealed a smile of delight. He had also obtained a large amount of Dragon Blood Grass and spirit soil. This trial's gains had exceeded Shen Ao's imagination greatly.
One had to know that three to five stalks of normal Dragon Blood Grass were enough to enhance one's physical body to the maximum to most cultivators. Even for those geniuses, basically, eight to ten stalks of Dragon Blood Grass were definitely enough for them to use, and there might even be extra left.
Meanwhile, the number of Dragon Blood Grass stalks in Shen Ao's storage bag was at least around 100 units. It was enough to strengthen his physical body with much to spare. This was definitely unimaginable wealth!
Following Thirteenth Brother is really awesome!
Even the proud and obstinate Shen Ao had gradually acknowledged Shen Tian from the bottom of his heart, not to mention the others.
Needless to say, naturally, everyone admired Shen Tian's ability from the bottom of their heart.
They could not be convinced otherwise!
Senior Brother Saint was able to obtain the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash and Divine Firmament Drager Pendant just by setting up a stall in Myriad Spirit Garden.
After going to the Fog Plain, he was able to obtain kiloliters of Nirvana Holy Liquid to even bathe in.
Now how long has it been since he entered the Primordial Battlefield!? It is like the Dragon Blood Grass is on wholesale!
With Master Heavens in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, there's no need to worry about being able to dominate the Eastern Wilderness!
Shopkeeper Song took out a second storage ring with passionate eyes and continued to gather tirelessly.
Liu Taiyi took out a jade bamboo slip and seemed to be carefully recording something down. He was so serious it was like he was the most devout worshipper.
They were so excited that they could not control themselves. There had once been a powerful woman with great beauty that had questioned them. She had questioned whether they could become stronger by following Master Celestial and flattering Master Celestial.
Now, they used facts to prove that, yes, they could turn stronger!
Not only could they become stronger, but they were even able to become rich and advance toward Immortal Ascension together!
The best choice we've made in our life is to believe in Master Heavens.
He is our lifelong belief!
The others did not know that Shen Tian was only freeloading a fortuitous opportunity, but in everyone's minds, his image improved by leaps and bounds.
At that moment, Shen Tian felt that he was in paradise again.
He took out a mirror and looked at the halo on top of his head.
Indeed, his halo had turned even redder at speed visible to the naked eye.
Red with green—it was beautiful!
Meanwhile, Shen Ao, Zhao Hao, and the others' halos had also turned brighter, especially Qin Gao's. The golden spots on his halo increased more, and it inclined more to golden now.
Qin Gao would only snatch a little over 10 stalks of Dragon Blood Grass during the chaos in his fortuitous opportunity scene. However, now, he had obtained around 100 stalks of Dragon Blood Grass, a huge gain.
To that, Shen Tian was gratified. Qin Gao had benefited, he had benefited, and all the fellow comrades that followed along had benefited.
Then, who was it that had made a huge loss!?
Shen Tian looked at the 10,000-feet-tall dragon corpse, at a loss for words.
Dragons were indeed one of the strongest races in the world. Even 10,000 years after its death and almost with no essence left, it could still unleash such an overbearing aura.
Currently, everyone was near that dragon's corpse, and it was as if hundreds of kilograms had weighed down their bodies. It was not easy to move at all.
Were they not Foundation Establishment cultivators, they might not have been able to last!
Is it possible to bring these dragon bones back too?
Since it is a pure-blood dragon, its taste should be quite good if brewed into a soup!
Huh, why am I thinking of food? A 10,000-year-old bone, it must have gone bad already, right?
Sssss, scary!
Shen Tian shook his head and looked toward that huge sword on top of the dragon's head.
That huge sword was filled with dark red rust, and even small trees were growing out of it. There were fruits on the small trees, which looked just like the miniature version of a longsword, swaying with the wind.
Shen Tian knew this was also an extremely precious spirit fruit.
This spirit fruit's name was Sword Heart Fruit. Normally, it would only grow in a land where a peerless Sword Immortal had perished.
Although no peerless Sword Immortal had perished in this land, an outstanding divine sword had killed a pure-blood Holy Dragon, nonetheless. It was thus natural for Sword Heart Fruits to grow under the nourishment of the sword intent.
The only problem was that the huge sword had pierced through the Holy Dragon's skull and pinned it to the ground. If one wanted to pick the Sword Heart Fruits, they would need to endure the powerful dragon aura and crawl onto this dragon's carcass.
One had to know that one would endure hundreds of kilograms of pressure just by staying near the Holy Dragon. It even made breathing difficult.
In order to climb onto the dragon's head and pick the Sword Heart Fruits, the pressure would most definitely increase several times or tens of times.
To Foundation Establishment cultivators, this was definitely not a simple task!
Shen Tian took a deep breath and started climbing up from the Holy Dragon's tail.
With each step taken toward the Holy Dragon's skull, he could feel the pressure on him increase.
When Shen Tian had climbed 5,000 feet high, he had already reached the dragon's back. He was able to see the dragon's head that stood proudly in the distance and the injury which the huge sword pierced through.
The powerful dragon aura and sword intent flooded him, making him feel an extremely heavy pressure. His body was almost about to be crushed.
"Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor, appear!"
The avatars of the five divine beasts appeared, and with the enhancement of the Five Elements avatars, Shen Tian felt that the pressure had lessened by quite a bit.
He continued climbing forward while enduring the oppression by the dragon aura and sword intent. Shen Tian actually felt a different kind of excitement as he climbed.
The ring on his hand shone, and a small bottle appeared in front of him—the Nirvana Holy Liquid was inside the small bottle.
Gulp~
Gulp, gulp~
Gulp, gulp, gulp~
After drinking the holy liquid, Shen Tian was shining throughout his whole body.
He shouted loudly, and the golden lightning mark between his brows shone brightly. His hair then started to stand upright.
The boiling hot Qi Aura burned on the surface of Shen Tian's body. He was now burning Qi Aura to enhance his strength!
Although the pressure was currently increasing, Shen Tian was climbing at a faster pace.
The Holy Dragon's skull emitted light, and the pressure instantly doubled, as if it was angered!
In that instant, Shen Tian felt as if his body was being weighed down by 5 tons.
No matter how sturdy his body was, he was almost about to be suppressed to the ground.
"You dragon, I'll definitely climb onto your head!"
Shen Tian ground his teeth and suddenly unleashed all of his strength.
However, just at that moment, the huge sword shone slightly.
Shen Tian then suddenly felt that the pressure on him disappeared. His whole body instantly flew thousands of feet into the air like a cannonball, almost falling off the dragon.
It was good that he reacted in time. The Divine Devouring Vine shot out of his right hand and wrapped around the dragon's horn, and only then did he successfully swing to the Holy Dragon's skull.
Standing on the head of the huge dragon, Shen Tian was extremely puzzled.
What is this situation? Why do I feel that all the pressure disappeared after climbing to the neck?
Is it possible that only the lower half of the dragon's bones is complete, but the head has been broken, so there is no pressure?
Nonetheless, he had been able to climb onto the dragon's head.
Shen Tian walked around the dragon's skull and knocked the skull using his hand everywhere with amusement.
Not mentioning others, the dragon's skull was really hard.
Shen Tian did not expect to be able to break the dragon bones into pieces and move them, so he thought of an idea. He stared at that small tree growing on that huge sword.
Shen Tian counted a total of nine small trees growing on the huge sword. Each tree had three to five fruits that were swaying with the wind, releasing sword aura.
It was obvious that these fruits were extraordinary.
If one could eat and absorb them, then they would definitely allow a sword cultivator's cultivation level and talent to increase greatly.
Shen Tian shot the Divine Devouring Vine out of his right hand and picked the Sword Heart Fruits from the small trees, a total of 35 fruits.
Shen Tian stored the Sword Heart Fruits before looking at the nine small trees on the huge sword.
Could these Sword Heart Trees be eaten? How's the taste and effects!
The Divine Devouring Vine in Shen Tian's hand gradually wrapped around a Sword Heart Tree, and Shen Tian used his full strength to pull it.
Although those small saplings looked like they could be easily snapped, they were quite secure on the sword.
Currently, Shen Tian's arm strength was more than 10 tons, and he was able to pull out even a weeping willow that needed two people to be able to hug it fully.
However, it was quite difficult to pull out the Heart Sword Tree. Shen Tian spent more than 10 minutes pulling one down.
After storing the Sword Heart Tree, Shen Tian was prepared to continue pulling to get rich through honest labor.
However, just at that moment, the huge sword shone slightly, and a cold woman's voice echoed.
"Young man, do you want me?"
Shen Tian was astonished, while his Divine Devouring Vine instantly turned hard. The Silver Heavy Water covered the Divine Devouring Vine, ready to attack any unknown enemy.
However, there were no enemies, only the huge sword that was giving off a faint light.
"Don't be agitated, it's me. I am the Sword Spirit of this Heaven Executing Sword. Young man, you're actually able to find this place. It's destined that you're fated with me."
Heaven Executing Sword?
Fated with you? Are you serious?
Shen Tian's lips twitched. He could sense malicious intentions!
Just from the sword name alone, this Sword Spirit does not seem to be a good person!
Shen Tian became vigilant. "You're this Executing Heaven Sword's Sword Spirit?"
The Sword Spirit's voice resounded again. "Yes, I have already killed and guarded this evil dragon on Master's orders for 10,000 years.
"Now, I can sense that Master has already perished for many years. But you have the same blood lineage and soul as Master!
"Young man, do you want me?
"Then drip your blood onto the sword!
"If you have peerless talents, I will follow you and help you in battle."
While listening to the Sword Spirit's captivating voice, Shen Tian felt as if there was something wrong.
It seems like... there's someone who wants to harm me!
Shen Tian looked at the huge sword calmly. "Drip blood? How much blood?"
The Sword Spirit's voice hesitated for a moment. "Eh... You have a special body constitution and extraordinary aptitude. The Heaven Executing Sword should be able to recognize you with one drop of blood."
Shen Tian gradually retreated. "You sure that with my aptitude, just one drop of blood will allow me to be recognized by this Executing Heaven Sword?"
The Sword Spirit said helplessly, "Young man, you are extremely talented. You need to have confidence in yourself."
Shen Tian's mouth twitched. "I am confident in myself, but I am not confident in your identity."
As he looked at that huge sword, the Purple Golden Hammer appeared in his right hand while the Black Tortoise Shield appeared in his left hand. "You're not the Sword Spirit, right!?"
The voice gradually turned cold. "I thought I controlled the sword to shine when it needed to and did not slip up at all. How did you notice?"
Shen Tian smiled. "Very simple, that's because when I mentioned this sword's name, I purposely switched the name.
"You said you were the Sword Spirit of the Heaven Executing Sword, but when I mentioned it, I said Executing Heaven Sword. I purposely called it wrongly every time.
"Sword Spirits value the sword they are in, and the sword's name is like their second name.
"How was it possible that I mentioned it wrongly for quite a few times, but you did not notice and care at all?"
The voice scoffed, "Just with that? It's too laughable!"
Shen Tian shrugged. "Naturally, it's not enough to confirm with just that alone, so I was trying my luck. Who would have expected that you'd admit to it so easily!?"
The voice did not speak for a long time. It seemed Shen Tian's words had made it upset.
Shen Tian smiled and said, "Hey, why are you not speaking anymore? If I guessed correctly, you should be the Holy Dragon's soul sealed by this sword instead of being its Sword Spirit, right?"
Before entering the Primordial Battlefield, Little Spirit Fairy had sent a copy of the Deity Peering Record to Shen Tian.
Although he had yet to thoroughly understand the book, Shen Tian could vaguely see that this mountain valley was not simple. It should be a special terrain formed by the huge sword's seal.
One had to know that the vitality of demons cultivating Godfiend Body Tempering was extremely tenacious, as compared to those of the same stage. They could be said to have immortal bodies.
Thus, truly mighty figures would carve special array formations into their attacks to seal and weaken the demon.
Evidently, a divine sword had pierced through this Holy Dragon to kill it and seal it in the Primordial Battlefield.
However, even 10,000 years after its death, its soul had actually survived.
Call a spade a spade, this Holy Dragon was indeed relatively unfathomable!
After a long time, a sweet and charming voice resounded in the mountain valley.
"Wow, not bad! You evil cunning young man, you're actually not deceived by me, you're too... Not cute!"
As the voice boomed, the 10,000-feet-tall bone dragon started shining and gradually gathered to form a tall lady in black.
That lady wore a long black robe, and her long hair, which reached her shoulders, covered half of her face. Her appearance was extremely exquisite.
On top of her head were two pink dragon horns, and they looked as if they were a taboo temptation.
What was more important was that this lady was extremely evil, or one should say an extremely 'humongous' and snow-white evil!
Among all the people Shen Tian had encountered before, only Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus could be barely on par.
Even Shen Tian, whose mental state was as firm as sage's, was nearly shaken!
This black-robed lady had a smug smile on her face as she gradually floated beside Shen Tian.
She slowly laughed gently and said, "Human kid, you're quite handsome! Do you want to form a contract and become an honorable Dragon Knight?"
The black-robed lady slowly went closer to Shen Tian's ear, and then she said seductively, "As long as you nod your head and successfully release me, I can consider forming a contract with you! Being a Dragon Knight is thrilling!"

Chapter 205: This Sword Is Yearning For A New Master
Become a respected Dragon Knight?
Somehow, Shen Tian felt like this Dragon Lady was pulling a fast one on him.
After studying this Dragon Lady's silhouette, Shen Tian really felt like asking if he would be riding her or riding this skeleton.
But to be safe, Shen Tian chose not to believe this Dragon Lady that easily.
He gazed at the black-robed Dragon Lady vigilantly as he said in a calm voice, "I heard that the Dragon race is one of the world's most powerful and arrogant races.
"So I can't help being shocked that you made such an offer to me. I can hardly dare to believe you.
"What if I was lucky enough to get this divine sword to acknowledge me and release you—but you turn around and kill me thereafter?"
The black-robed lady scoffed. "I am Ao Bing. Tens of thousands of years ago, I was the Black Dragon Island Princess in the Northern Sea.
"The Black Dragons of the Northern Sea have always kept their promises. Otherwise, I will suffer terrible consequences for the rest of my life!
"If you are able to help me escape, I will sign a Dragon God contract with you, to give you the power of the Dragon God.
"You must know that over the past hundreds of thousands of years, the number of humans able to sign a Dragon God contract to become powerful beings can be counted on just one hand."
Shen Tian stared suspiciously at the black-robed Dragon Lady Ao Bing. "I can sign a Dragon God contract with you if I save your life?"
To be honest, if one could sign a Dragon God contract just by saving her life, there would be no reason that only a handful of humans had been able to become the legendary Black Dragon Knights!
Dragon Lady Ao Bing sized up Shen Tian with a smile.
"Of course not!
"The Black Dragon Island in the Northern Sea contains countless precious treasures. If you save my people, they will definitely give you those treasures in return.
"But only humans with the best looks, demeanor, talent, and character are worthy enough to save my people and gain their acknowledgment. Only these fated humans are worthy enough to sign a Dragon God contract!
"Although you are just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you were able to climb onto the dragon head despite the oppressive dragon aura. You clearly have an excellent foundation and natural talent.
"Also, you have so many followers that your character must be pretty good too.
"As a result, I am willing to give you a chance to sign a contract with me, to receive the glory of becoming a Dragon Knight!
"If it were some other talentless, despicable, and ugly brute—there's no way he would be offered a contract!"
When looking at the black-robed Dragon Lady, Shen Tian just felt like she was deliberately glossing over some important point.
Willing to offer me a chance because I am talented and have good character?
Are you sure it's not just because you saw that I am handsome and dashing, and you are only offering me a contract with lecherous intentions?
Nonetheless, it was still an adequate reason. After all, beautiful damsels in distress behaved the same way after being rescued.
They would pledge their hand in marriage if their savior was handsome. If the savior was ugly, he could only hope to be a servant.
This was a universal truth that should be the same in both ancient and modern times, in both the human and demon races.
Shen Tian relaxed a little at that thought. "Can you please make a vow first? Whether or not I am able to successfully get the sword and save you, you cannot vent your anger on my companions or me."
The black-robed Dragon Lady glanced mildly at the folks gathered at the feet of the dragon skeleton. "Don't worry. I have no interest in making things difficult for those pathetic humans."
Shen Tian insisted. "Can you please swear on it?"
The black-robed Dragon lady stated. "I swear. Happy, now?"
Shen Tian replied in all seriousness, "Please repeat after me: Even if I cannot get hold of the sword and save you, you will not lash out at my companions or me."
The black-robed dragon lady was annoyed. "You doubt my integrity as a Princess of the Black Dragon race!
"If not for the fact that you are quite handsome, I would have already killed you!"
Shen Tian shrank back a little. He did feel like he was somewhat overstepping the line.
He had barely handled that bad-tempered white tiger, Zhang Yunxi, and was now provoking a Black Dragon lady.
However, he really wouldn't dare to try releasing this Dragon Lady if she didn't make that vow!
After all, this was at the Sage realm. He didn't fancy his chances even if up against some decrepit soul!
Shen Tian said in resignation, "If you insist on refusing—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Dragon Lady Ao Bing cut in sourly.
Ao Bing glared at Shen Tian as she swore. "Upon the name of the Dragon God, even if this punk is unable to successfully save me, I will not lash out against him or his friends."
Shen Tian breathed a sigh of relief. "Otherwise...?"
Ao Bing looked like she was about to burst into anger. "Otherwise, I will never be able to escape my predicament. Are you happy now?!"
Shen Tian smiled. "That's all I was asking for!"
Having set his mind at peace, Shen Tian slowly walked toward the huge sword and stroked it.
"How do I remove this sword? Just drip my blood on it?"
Ao Bing nodded. "Mmm, this sword is an Immortal artifact. It already has some form of consciousness of its own. It has been sealed here with me for eons. Its Master died a long time ago. I can feel that this sword is yearning for a new Master now.
"You possess a powerful Little Five Elements Yang Divine Lightning Constitution, but your cultivation level is indeed a little lacking.
"If it was hundreds of thousands of years ago, you might not be able to get this divine sword to acknowledge you as its Master.
"But now, as long as you drip some blood on it, I bet that it will immediately acknowledge you!"
Shen Tian mused over this.
Could this be your typical demand versus supply effect?
If there were countless talents coveting this divine sword, it could afford to be picky.
But if it could not attract someone more impressive, it had no choice but to settle for someone more mediocre.
After all, swords had their own needs. They needed to be handled, polished, and kept in good condition.
They also craved the excitement and thrill of battle.
Having gained a modicum of confidence, Shen Tian pricked his forefinger.
A drop of pale golden blood seeped out of the tiny wound. It was the golden blood of a person with the Divine Lightning Constitution.
It emitted a faint spiritual hum as it dripped onto the huge blade and was rapidly absorbed.
But the divine sword didn't acknowledge Shen Tian as its Master after absorbing his blood.
It just glowed faintly before returning to its original state.
Shen Tian was stunned. "It didn't acknowledge me as its Master."
The corners of Ao Bing's lips twitched. "This lousy sword! How dare it remain so fussy! Does it really want to wither away with me in this place!?
"Young man, try dripping more blood on it. I don't believe that this lousy sword can continue denying itself a Master!
"This is such a remote place. Miss this chance to get a Master like you, and it will have to wait another 10,000 years!
"This lousy sword's consciousness has yet to fully form. Try again!"
Drip more blood? Try again?
Upon feeling the effects of his much-weakened body, Shen Tian felt rather helpless.
This Dragon Lady didn't know what his blood meant to him.
He said calmly, "We had an agreement. I would only offer one drop of blood to try and gain acknowledgment.
"Now that I have offered my blood, but this divine sword refuses to acknowledge me, I really have no other solution.
"Why don't we try this? After I leave this place, I will help you find an even more exceptional genius to come here and rescue you?"
With that, Shen Tian turned and leaped off the dragon's skeleton. He was all ready to leave, with no lingering regret at all.
Ao Bing had just sworn not to create trouble for them—he had to take this window of opportunity to escape. Otherwise, they would be doomed if she had more time to think of some loophole to her vow!
Eunuch Gui and the rest quickly clustered around Shen Tian after he leaped down from the dragon skeleton.
"Senior Brother, who is that woman?"
Qin Yundi narrowed his eyes. Dozens of Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns behind him were aimed straight at the dragon skeleton, all ready to fire.
Shen Tian shook his head. "That is the remnant of the Holy Dragon's soul. Let's leave now!"
At that, Shen Tian sprinted out of the valley without even turning his head.
At that moment, the divine sword lodged in that huge dragon skull suddenly moved.
Countless bright rays shot out of the blade, engulfing the entire valley in a dazzling light!
Clang!
A clear clanging sound echoed far and wide.
Countless skeletons in the surrounding area seemed to be petrified by the sword intent. They all stood frozen to the ground, shivering in fear.
Rays of light shot toward Shen Tian from the sword. They seemed to take on a solid form, merging into a stairway in front of Shen Tian.
This stairway was forged with pure sword light. Each ray of light formed a step, leading from Shen Tian's feet right to the huge sword.
This strange phenomenon dumbfounded everyone beside Shen Tian!
What made this extraordinary ancient divine weapon take the initiative to welcome Shen Tian?
It was willing to use so much of its own sword aura to form a stairway so that Shen Tian could step upon it and take control of it.
But Shen Tian had actually spurned it and was in the midst of leaving the valley?
Damn, he was indeed their Senior Brother Saint!
He was just that domineering!
Eunuch Gui looked very pleased. "This is such an exceptional divine weapon, and it is willing to pledge loyalty to His Highness!"
Qin Gao's face was full of admiration. "Concubine Lan would be so happy if she could see this."
Qin Yundi narrowed his eyes. "The power of this sword is without peer. It is a good match for Senior Brother!"
Shopkeeper Song also chimed in. "Although this sword is not good enough for your status as Master Heavens, since it has shown such sincerity, do accept it!"
Shen Tian was inwardly stunned as his companions urged him.
What the hell? I spurned this divine sword? It was clearly the sword that had rejected me earlier!
Now that I was prepared to leave, the sword is now begging to acknowledge me as its Master?
Haha, do you think I would still want you, you lousy sword?
I am the Divine Firmament Saint! I have a reputation to keep up!
At the top of the dragon skeleton, the black-robed Dragon Lady Ao Bing scoffed. "Stubborn sword, you are regretting it now, right?
"Your consciousness has yet to fully mature, yet you want to be as picky as that flat-chested Master of yours. Serves you right to be rejected!"
Ao Bing's words seemed to provoke the sword.
It suddenly emitted an unprecedented burst of light, dissolving its remaining eight Sword Tree Hearts into dust before transforming it into the most basic form of power.
Like a sharp blade, this power shot right into Shen Tian's body.
Shen Tian thought the sword wanted to kill him in a fit of rage.
But after the power merged into his body, his Tinder Sutra became even more vibrant and energetic than ever before. He never expected this.
It swallowed this power ravenously, refining this power and infusing it across his entire body, his dantian, and his mind.
At this point, Shen Tian felt a deep sense of wonder.
He felt like his understanding of the sword was increasing exponentially.
Every single inch of flesh seemed to be emitting a sharp sword light and sword aura.
At that moment, Shen Tian felt like the sword was him, and he was the sword. Man and sword united as one as if he were a Sword Immortal!
A terrifying sword intent radiated from his body, creating an unearthly mirage like tens of thousands of sharp blades extending out for miles on end, forcing everyone to step back.
In that mirage, one could vaguely see True Dragons being beheaded, bloodied demons and deities, tears trickling down Buddha's face, and other such alarming images.
Shen Ao stared at his thirteenth brother from a distance away. He had heard his Master talk about such a phenomenon before. It was completely out of this world.
Only a person with the Divine Sword Constitution or that possessed the highest level of understanding of the way of the sword could form such a mirage.
Since ancient times, any time such a phenomenon happened, it meant that one had become an unparalleled Sword Immortal!
In the Grand White Grotto-Heaven, how many young talents had struggled their entire lives but still failed to attain even a fraction of such a level?
But Shen Tian just happened to bumble into this valley and was so warmly welcomed by this divine weapon. Using its sword intent to cultivate a Sword Tree Heart for Shen Tian, to help him attain this Divine Sword Constitution.
To be honest, this was another major blow to Shen Ao.
Was this the difference between him and Shen Tian?
This cultivation world was so cruel!
Atop the dragon head, Dragon Lady Ao Bing's face still bore her mocking grin.
But as Shen Tian emitted that intense sword aura and the unearthly mirage formed behind him, the smile on her face froze.
"My goodness, who is this kid? The legendary Divine Sword Constitution can be so easily attained?
"If those freaky Sword Dao aficionados from the past saw this kid now, they would all choke on their envy!
"Just who is this kid? It looks like he's not just another pretty face!"
At this thought, the smile on Ao Bing's face turned smug.
"That's good. In this way, my people can't object too much to my Dragon God contract with him.
"No... So many years have passed, and those oldies at the Black Dragon Island should already all be dead!
"That's to say if I manage to escape, I can rule over Black Dragon Island?
"Hahahaha, I have not suffered these 10,000 years in vain then!"
As time passed by the minute and second, Shen Tian finally felt the sword energy inside him become completely absorbed.
He slowly lifted his lids, and a beam of sword energy shot out of his eyes, burning a deep hole in the ground before him.
Damn, so terrifying!
At that moment, Shen Tian was confident of glaring to death anyone at the 9th Firmament of Qi Refinement.
If he wasn't worried about tiring his eyes out, he might even be able to glare to death a somewhat weaker Foundation Establishment cultivator.
More importantly, Shen Tian now felt like he could radiate powerful sword energy from any part of his body.
Think about it. You were fighting a powerful opponent who was on par with you in every way.
He suddenly breathed out a gust of air at you. He didn't have bad breath, but a powerful burst of sword energy was rushing at you. Wouldn't you be in a panic?
The two of you were just facing off each other to stand your ground. But you end up withering from your opponent's glare. Wouldn't that be so embarrassing?
With this Divine Sword Constitution, Shen Tian felt like he was able to pit himself against the Sages who had gone through the Tribulation Transcendence stage!
Of course, he could only last for one breath.
Shen Tian opened his eyes and stood up.
That huge sword vibrated slightly, the dark red rust starting to fall off, revealing the ruby-like body of the blade.
This sword was beyond extraordinary. It was forged from pure Immortal Metal and completely priceless!
No matter where in the great sacred ground, it would be regarded as an esteemed treasure that could enhance the foundation of the area.
It could be said that if Sword Venerable Qian Yang had attained such a divine sword back then, he could have easily annihilated the Mother Vine, Lu Ji!
After all, to a powerful swordsman, the type of sword they had in hand would be even more important than who they took as their spouse!
In front of everyone's astonished eyes, the huge sword drew itself out of the dragon's head and floated in mid-air, blocking out half the valley.
Following that, it charged straight toward Shen Tian!
As if it wanted to hug its new Master...

Chapter 206: The Talkative Dragon Lady
Shen Tian's heart skipped a beat upon seeing the giant sword flying toward him. If he did not dodge in time, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be smashed into pieces.
Shen Tian used his Divine Devouring Vine and tried to escape underground.
However, as the sword was approaching him, its size shrank quickly.
Soon, it was a long red sword that was only about a meter long.
A red light was flowing on the sword like a river as it vibrated slightly and produced a clear metal sound. Its edge was so sharp that it even managed to cut the wind apart.
It's a good sword!
A very good sword!
Shen Tian's eyes lit up. He had a sudden urge of desire.
On the one hand, his Divine Sword Constitution wanted this divine sword badly.
On the other hand, the Tinder Sutra wanted the pseudo-Immortal Metal too.
Shen Tian was rendered speechless.
What the hell is this sutra? It even wants to devour an immortal artifact sword? Won't it hurt inside my body?
Shen Tian did not have much time to think before the sword was in front of him.
The red light dimmed down, and it looked just like any other sword. However, Shen Tian knew that it was its natural state. Once the sword was activated again and unleashed its power, the incredible light would reappear.
Shen Tian held the sword with his right hand—the grip was rather good.
Shen Tian felt that the sword had merged with him the moment he touched it. His sword intent spread across the area, and everyone felt suffocated just standing near Shen Tian.
Everyone, including Zhao Hao and Qin Yundi, backed off a few meters.
Shen Tian's sword intent covered the entire area, while red sword aura slashed at every corner in the zone.
Anything that entered would be destroyed instantly.
The power of this sword is really incredible!
Shen Tian raised his red sword and focused.
Black and azure lightning—I and IX Divine Lightning—appeared around Shen Tian.
Water bred Wood and Wood enhanced Fire. In the end, what was left was just Crimson Phoenix III Divine Lightning.
The Nan Ming Li Fire merged with Shen Tian's Crimson Phoenix Divine Lightning, and they circled around the red sword like a snake.
Shen Tian touched his sword lovingly, and the red light glowed brighter than ever.
He aimed at the valley ahead and released a slash.
Clang!
The sword unleashed a 100-feet-long sword aura covered in lightning and fire. It was not from any amazing sword arts or heritage sword sutras. It was a simple, plain strike.
When the attack hit the valley, a terrifying gap was formed in it.
The tip of the sword aura had even slashed off the cliff that was on the valley!
Also, sparks of lightning and fire remained in the air from the strike just now!
All the sword cultivators, such as Zhao Hao, Shen Ao, and Eunuch Gui, were shocked by what they witnessed.
No one could understand how thrilled they were.
They respected Shen Tian way more now!
"What a great power! That could end a Nascent Soul cultivator easily!"
"It's a pseudo Immortal artifact, indeed!"
"Is this the power of the Divine Sword Constitution? Brother Shen did not even use any sword art just now!"
"That's so incredible! Is this my brother's skill? What is the point of me being a sword cultivator?"
"Brother Shen is so good with his sword! He is Lian'er's man, indeed!"
Shen Tian had no idea how shocked they were. He was still indulging in the feeling of the attack just now.
He had not used the full strength of his Divine Sword Constitution and the red sword. Nonetheless, even with such a little portion of his full power, he could kill most Nascent Soul cultivators with that attack.
Is this the power of pseudo Immortal artifact?
I love it so much!
I'll have one more trump card in the future.
I will be the strongest swordsman in the Eastern Wilderness if I learn a few more sword arts!
Shen Tian could feel that his sword was excited as it had found a suitable Master.
"My name is Shen Tian. From now on, you will be Executing Heaven Sword! I'll turn you into a proper Immortal artifact one day and let everyone in the five regions know how powerful you are!"
After Shen Tian said that, the red sword began to glow out of a sudden. It seemed delighted.
It left Shen Tian's grip and flew around him!
Swoosh!
Shen Tian thought the sword was unhappy about the name and was going to kill him.
However, the sword did not hurt Shen Tian at all. It turned into a stream of red light and entered Shen Tian's body. It resided in Shen Tian's lungs now!
The sword emitted its origin slowly in Shen Tian's lungs and strengthened them.
At the same time, Shen Tian's power was converted to metal energy, which the sword then absorbed. They were helping out each other!
Shen Tian truly understood the feeling of being united as one with his sword!
Shen Tian could unleash the sword from him anytime he wanted!
It was a good way to tric... Protect himself!
The Executing Heaven Sword was the seal formation array's focal point. Thus, after it was gone, the entire dragon skeleton began to collapse.
"Kid, I'm coming out soon! Stay away from here," said Ao Bing from within the skeleton.
Shen Tian nodded and led his team out of the Holy Dragon Valley without hesitation.
That seal had restrained a Sage-level dragon. Who knew what could happen afterward. It would be such a waste if the falling bones killed them.
Just as they were about to stop at the valley entrance, Ao Bing spoke again. "Go further!"
Thus, they ran for another few kilometers.
Then, a loud explosion reverberated throughout the Holy Dragon Valley.
A black dragon flew into the sky, and the undead skeletons around the area trembled in fear.
All cultivators in the vicinity sensed the chaos in the Holy Dragon Valley and some overconfident geniuses gathered around the area. Others chose to hide in the dark.
"It's been 10,000 years! I'm finally free!
"Damn that flat-chested human! She had sealed me for so damn long!
"God knows how I survived the past 10,000 years!
"Old bastards from the five regions, tremble in fear again! I'm back!"
The black dragon circled in the sky.
The dragon skeleton exuded dim light, and it gathered toward the flying dragon.
Soon, the dragon was completely covered in the light and was swiftly compressed.
Then, a dragon egg appeared and flew toward Shen Tian!
Is she gonna pummel me with this egg!?
Shen Tian's heart skipped a beat.
However, he did not dare to evade, fearing that the egg would crack once it hit the ground.
The soul of that female dragon will kill me...
Shen Tian quickly summoned his Divine Devouring Vine with a quick hand seal and formed a giant net with it.
The net caught the egg perfectly, but the egg's force was so great it spun on the net for several seconds before coming to a complete stop.
Fortunately, the Divine Devouring Vine was sturdy enough.
"Good! I was right about you! You did not dodge. Congratulations, kid, you have passed my second test."
Ao Bing's voice came from the egg. "Now, put your blood onto the egg and repeat after me."
Shen Tian thought for a moment and pricked his finger. He pressed his finger on the egg, and his blood was absorbed.
Then, myriad special symbols appeared in front of him, but he had no idea what they were. It seemed to be the ancient writing of the dragon race.
The symbols combined and formed a ball of black light. Meanwhile, Ao Bing's image appeared on top of the egg, and she said, "Kid, listen. Just repeat after me, okay?"
Shen Tian replied, "Alright."
Ao Bing nodded and bowed to the ball of light.
"Dragon God will be my witness."
She looked at Shen Tian after she had finished.
Shen Tian had no choice but to repeat after her, "Dragon God will be my witness."
Ao Bing smiled slightly and continued. "I, Ao Bing, take you, Shen Tian, to be my lawful companion."
Shen Tian spoke with a stammer. "I, Ao... Shen Tian, take you, Ao Bing, to be my lawful companion."
Each time they said a word, an ancient symbol appeared from the ball of light as though it was actually recording down the contract.
Ao Bing went on. "To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part."
Shen Tian, "???"
Is this really the Dragon Knight contract? Seriously!?
He opened his mouth carefully and asked, "Erm... Senior, are you sure this contract is supposed to be like this?"
Ao Bing's face became very stern as she stared at Shen Tian. "Why? Are you f*cking questioning the Dragon God? I'll kill you with my bloody dragon breath!"
Shen Tian felt that he was in deep trouble for making Ao Bing angry.

Chapter 207: Dragon Knight or Dragon's Knight?
Shen Tian wiped his sweat after the arrogant Dragon Lady confronted him.
"Senior, you made a promise just now, remember? You said you wouldn't be angry with me."
Ao Bing said proudly, "Indeed, I made a promise about that just now. But that was if you guys did not manage to bring me out.
"However, I'm freed by you now. Thus, that promise's condition is invalid now. Do you think it still works?"
Shen Tian, "???"
Excuse me? You belong to the prideful dragon race! What is this nonsense?
Ao Bing bent over in front of Shen Tian and stared at him straight in the eyes. Her well-developed figure was right in front of his eyes.
She smiled and said, "Relax! I'm the eldest princess in the dragon race. I won't lie to you.
"Make your wish to the Dragon God! After that, you will become a Dragon Knight that only appears less than once every thousand years.
"The Black Dragon Island and I will be there to protect you then. No one in the five regions will dare to mess with you. This is a dream that most people would not even dare to think about!"
Shen Tian still felt something was not right about the deal. "But Senior—"
Ao Bing flicked Shen Tian's forehead with her delicate finger and said, "You are going to sign the contract soon. There is no need to call me Senior anymore.
"Just call me Sister Bing!" She gave Shen Tian a coquettish glance.
Sister Bing?
Shen Tian stared at Ao Bing with a strange look, his mouth twitching.
You are at least 10,000 years older than me! Who gives you the courage to relate yourself with the word 'sister'?
Ao Bing saw through Shen Tian's thought and ground her teeth in anger. "Why? Do you have a problem with that?
"Although I was sealed for 10,000 years, I was just sleeping peacefully.
"Thus, this seemingly long period is merely 1,000 years for me. This means that I am, still, very, young!"
Shen Tian processed the logic behind her words and continued to stare at her with the same strange look.
So you are a few thousand years old, and I have to call you sister?
The black flame flickered in Ao Bing's soul, and it heated up the surroundings.
She stared back at Shen Tian angrily. "Kid, you are pushing my limit!
"Fine, since there is no contract yet, I can just kill you right here!"
Shen Tian felt Ao Bing's immense killing intent and quickly behaved himself.
He started the contract immediately:
"I, Shen Tian, take you, Ao Bing, to be my lawful companion.
"To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part."
The moment he finished reciting the oath, the black light ball in the void split in two.
One of them sank into Shen Tian's body, while the other into Ao Bing's.
Shen Tian finally understood what exactly was this contract with the Dragon God.
It was actually a symbiotic relationship, just like bees and flowers in nature.
After the contract, the human could receive a part of the dragon's power origin, and they were even allowed to cultivate the True Dragon Imperial Sutra.
At the same time, the contracted dragon would have high synergy with its human counterpart and could produce combo attacks together. Thus, if they were to fight together in combat, it would no longer be 11=2—their power would be much greater!
For a powerful Dragon Knight, fighting against cultivators that had higher cultivation levels than them was very common.
"Good for you!" Ao Bing nodded in satisfaction after Shen Tian completed the contract. "In the future, you'll be my man.
"If you meet any trouble outside, just say my name. No one will dare to bully you then!"
Ao Bing's soul began to fade away. "That's about all that I wanted to say. I'm going to Nirvana soon. In the next few days, you have to protect this dragon egg carefully. After my resurrection, I'll reward you!"
Then, Ao Bing's soul disappeared in the black dragon egg.
The egg had absorbed all the light and remained motionless.
Ao Bing had been badly injured before being sealed for 10,000 years. The best and fastest way to recover was through rebirth.
A special heritage memory suddenly appeared in Shen Tian's mind. It was the True Dragon Imperial Sutra, the complete set other than the forbidden chapter!
This was the legendary heritage that could only be cultivated after the royal Black Dragons' acknowledgment.
Naturally, this heritage excited Shen Tian as the True Dragon Imperial Sutra was completely different from the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground focused mainly on cultivating Dharma techniques, so the Lightning Imperial Sutra had plenty of such techniques. Although there was the Lightning Emperor Body Tempering Art, it was merely a supplement.
However, the True Dragon Imperial Sutra was a pure body-tempering art. The entire content was about how to train a physical body comparable to the dragon.
At the same time, many ancient offensive skills that the dragon race used were recorded in it. For example, the Dragon Claw, Dragon Step, Dragon Halberd, Dragon Breath, Dragon Slash, Dragon Armor, Dragon Hammer...
These skills had been created by strong cultivators in the Primordial Age, showcasing the expertise of ancient dragons in combat. Each of these skills' battle prowess could shock all the five regions. Thus, these skills were precious to Shen Tian as he had a well-built body but was weak in close combat.
The Dragon Claw could enhance the cultivator's finger strength and give them the ability to snap Spirit artifacts with bare hands.
After mastering the Dragon Step, one could shrink an entire mountain under their feet and destroy it simply by stepping on it.
The Dragon Slash was very compatible with Shen Tian as he had the Divine Devouring Vine. This skill could boost it greatly.
The Dragon Hammer was an ice-type hammer skill that a genius of the ancient dragon race had created. It was useful to Shen Tian too, as he owned the First Essence Heavy Water and the Purple Golden Hammer.
Shen Tian took a piece of silk out of his Archeon Sea Ring, wrapped the black dragon egg, and carried it on his back with a sigh.
What happened to the promised Dragon Knight?
Why am I carrying this princess like her knight now?
What a scam!
Nevermind, since she gave me the True Dragon Imperial Sutra, I'll forgive her. I'll have a ride on her one day too!
"The commotion we created has drawn the attention of other people. We need to find some safe place," Shen Tian said calmly.
Safety was always first in the Primordial Battlefield!
The group roamed around the battlefield and encountered many waves of undead monsters. Some were skeletons, some were blood demons, and some were even Yin demons...
Anyway, they did not manage to run away from a single monster.
However, it was not important at all. All these monsters were too weak for Shen Tian right now. They were a good moving target for Shen Tian to familiarize himself with the new skills he had learned!
Shen Tian picked a few weak monsters and threw them to the rest to practice too.
That was the whole purpose of the joint training—the cultivators should accumulate battle experience by fighting with the monsters.
Shen Tian could not babysit them throughout the trial. It would not be beneficial for them if they stayed idle here, and Shen Tian would be bored if he had to deal with these weak monsters for too long.
It would be best for the team to gather some experience too.
As they fought one battle after the other, the team became more familiar with their attacks and could cooperate very well.
The bloody sun set slowly, and darkness engulfed the entire battlefield.
The team found a relatively safe valley before there was no light at all. The valley had only one entrance, so it would be very safe once all the monsters were cleared.
The team sealed the entrance with an array formation and rested in it.
They looked through what they had obtained in the journey and used these fortuitous opportunities to strengthen themselves.
Shen Tian took the Dragon Blood Grass out of his ring and started preparing a medicinal bath.
The Dragon God's contract had a faint dragon origin, so some of its power was stored in Shen Tian, just that it was not very prominent.
Dragon Knights were known to have the intelligence of humans and the body of the dragons. That was the main reason why they could accomplish great things in the past.
Since Shen Tian had such power already, he was not going to waste it.
The Dragon Blood Grass was the best option for Shen Tian as the sealed Ao Bing's power had leaked out and nourished it.
As more Dragon Blood Grass was added to the medicinal bath, the spirit spring became extremely red, just like a real dragon's blood.
Everyone was shocked. Shen Tian had used at least 100 stalks of Dragon Blood Grass by now.
Normal people would at most use 10 stalks of Dragon Blood Grass in one go, or else there would be severe side effects. However, that was not Shen Tian's concern at all.
After taking off his top and shorts, Shen Tian submerged himself in the hot bath.
It was really hot!
The water was bubbling from the heat. However, Shen Tian did not feel any pain at all. He felt the temperature was just right.
Soon, Shen Tian absorbed the Dragon Blood Grass' nutrients. He could feel that his body was getting stronger while his Transcendence realm was increasing. Every inch of his body had evolved.
A dense aura started to form around Shen Tian, and his party could feel a tremendous amount of energy he was exuding.
Although no one knew how firm his foundation was, they believed that their Saint was invincible among the Foundation Establishment cultivators!
As Shen Tian absorbed more Dragon Blood Grass, his body started to change physically and black dragon marks, formed by a special power, started to appear on his skin.
It was not the armor formed by the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique but the ancient offensive body-tempering art, Dragon's Armor!
Shen Tian had a new way to protect himself now!
At the same time, a group of unwelcome guests was outside the valley...

Chapter 208: The Peacock Race's Most Powerful Skill, Rainbow Divine Light
Under the night sky, a white figure flashed rapidly across the mountains. Its speed was so fast that no one could see it clearly, as if it had merged into the night.
Behind him, five youths dressed in splendid feathered clothes were in close pursuit. They chased after that white figure relentlessly.
"Evil creature, how dare you steal my treasure!? You must have a death wish!"
The man dressed in gold-feathered clothes looked extremely angry. He repeatedly lashed out with the golden saber in his hand.
Waves of blade aura left long gashes on the ground, but none of them managed to make contact with the white figure who remained completely unharmed.
A man in white was wielding a brush made from the feathers of a crane. He was using it like a divine sword and kept shooting it toward the white figure.
But every time a strike was about to land on the white figure, he would suddenly dodge lightly to the side as if teasing his attackers.
"Haha, you are just a bunch of silly kids, yet you dare to pursue me?
"When I reigned over the five regions, your ancestors were at my dining table... as the hunted game in the food bowls of my guests!
"I never expected to fall to such low levels... that even some stupid kids dare to go against me!
"Just you wait. When I recover, I will destroy you, a bunch of feathered beasts!
"Scared now, aren't you? Retreat if you are scared. Get lost!
"When I make my comeback in the future, I will spare your life!"
The white figure evaded the attacks of the five youths. He kept spouting profanities as he sprinted amongst the mountains.
As the moonlight shone down, the white figure was now clearly reflected in the five pursuers' eyes.
It was a white-colored tortoise running on its hind legs in an upright position!
While standing upright on its back legs, this tortoise was about one meter in height and as white as a piece of fair jade. It shimmered and glowed under the moonlight.
It must be said that this tortoise did look very extraordinary. But the words coming out of his mouth were enough to make one fume in anger and eager to tear this scoundrel apart.
In reality, the five young talents from the Southern Border were indeed having such thoughts.
As one of the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race prodigies, Jin Yu had secretly invited his good friends into the Primordial Battlefield. He was already extremely aggravated, fully intending to seek out the Divine Firmament Saint to settle their scores.
They had ended up waiting an entire day in the Blood Demon Valley without seeing the Divine Firmament Saint at all. Instead, they had encountered a very powerful Blood Demon.
This Blood Demon was very mighty and was formed by the blood and aura of an ancient practitioner who had been very strong. Its powers were more or less equal to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
All five of them were outstanding Golden Core demon cultivators and could easily kill off anyone at the Nascent Soul stage outside the Primordial Battlefield.
However, inside the Primordial Battlefield, their powers had been greatly suppressed, and it was very challenging for them to face a Blood Demon one on one.
The five of them had spent a lot of effort and energy before finally killing off this Blood Demon. They had carved open the Blood Demon's body and taken out its Blood Essence Pearl.
The Blood Essence Pearl was the source of a Blood Demon's life and contained intense lifeforce.
To the demon race, the Blood Essence Pearl was the perfect elixir.
The Blood Demon's own blood was tainted and vile, but its Blood Essence Pearl was pure and full of vitality.
After refining the Blood Essence Pearl, demons could use it to purify their own blood and enhance their powers. If they were lucky, they might even get the chance to stimulate their ancient divine beast ancestors' bloodlines.
This Blood Demon had had a rather low intelligence level and had been unable to fully display its true powers. Even so, it still had the powers of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
It could be seen just how extraordinary the Blood Demon Pearl was. There was no doubt about its value.
To these five youths, it was an extremely precious fortuitous opportunity!
Just as they had managed to retrieve the Blood Essence Pearl and had been about to split it amongst themselves, this damn white tortoise had appeared.
Its speed was fast beyond belief!
In a flash, the Blood Demon Pearl had disappeared before their eyes, having been swallowed by that tortoise.
Thereafter, the white tortoise had immediately fled into the battlefield's inner regions.
There was no way the Southern Border's Eagle Race's five prodigies could bear this transgression. They had poured in so much effort and fought that demon for so long before finally attaining that treasure—only to have it stolen by someone else.
Who could endure such humiliation?
Jin Yu's eyes glimmered with gold light as they fixed on that white figure, not letting it leave his line of sight.
This was the special skill of the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race. At the most advanced level, one could see through all the nine heavens and peer down to the deepest levels of hell. Nothing would escape that eye.
Jin Yu had yet to achieve that advanced level, but was nonetheless highly proficient in that skill. Otherwise, they would have lost sight of that white tortoise long ago.
While looking at the white tortoise, Jin Yu said with a cold smile, "Damn tortoise, I am not a man if I don't kill you today!"
The white tortoise chortled out loud. "Man? So shameless. Are you even human? You are just a feathered beast!
"But the flesh of the Great Golden-Winged Eagle is really very delicious. Older eagles can be boiled into a nutritious soup, while the younger eagles' flesh is tender and smooth when grilled.
"Sigh... What fond memories I have of that. When I reclaim my position on the throne, you will be the first eagle to go into my stew."
Boom!
The white tortoise had just finished his sentence when a blade slashed right down at him.
The golden blade's power was terrifying. It was enough to cause grievous injuries to a Perfected One at the Golden Core stage.
It was a pity that this white tortoise's reaction and speed were just too fast. He easily dodged the attack, leaving behind just the faint afterimage of his body.
As vehement as their attacks were, the group of five was unable to pose any serious threat. They grew increasingly desperate as the tortoise became increasingly arrogant.
What... kind of tortoise was this?
Fairy Kong Meng, in her multi-colored dress, just quietly observed that white tortoise.
After a long time, she finally spoke. "It's the legendary Electric Shadow Footwork."
The faces of the other four prodigies hardened at Kong Meng's words. "Hasn't this magical footwork already been lost to the ages?"
Kong Meng shook her head. "It was lost only in the outside world. Don't forget that we are in the Primordial Battlefield."
Jin Yu's face turned grim. As the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race's prodigy, he knew about all the famous techniques in all five regions.
This Electric Shadow Footwork was one of the top-secret techniques of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. It was also known as the Heaven-Earth Turbo Speed.
A practitioner who managed to master this skill could speed through anywhere on earth like a bolt of lightning. Their speeds were so great that no one of the same level could ever catch them.
Of course, it was very difficult to master this footwork technique.
It was invented by one of Divine Firmament's Sacred Leaders tens of thousands of years ago and was infamous throughout Eastern Wilderness.
That Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had successfully cultivated the Mixed Divine Lightning Constitution and taken control of the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags, becoming one of the most powerful Sacred Leaders in Eastern Wilderness.
During his peak, in preparation of ascending to the throne, he had relied on the Electric Shadow Footwork to scour the Primordial Battlefield and slaughter all the evil demons in the outer regions.
There would just be a golden flash whizzing past, and all those powerful practitioners in the outer regions would be beheaded as their blood flowed as thick as rivers.
During that war, just hearing the great name of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's "Golden Light Sacred Leader" was enough to make Evil Spirit from the outer regions quake in fear.
It was even rumored that Evil Spirit from the outer regions had attacked the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground mainly because they feared this Golden Light Sacred Leader.
They had been worried that the Golden Light Sacred Leader would ascend the throne because of his success during that battle.
By then, it would trigger a major turn of the tide for the battle!
In the end, after an insidious assassination plot against the Golden Light Sacred Leader, he had eventually fallen, and the Electric Shadow Footwork technique had been lost.
Jin Yu never expected to encounter this white tortoise in the Primordial Battlefield who was able to use the Golden Light Sacred Leader's Electric Shadow Footwork.
Haha, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground again!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is bullying the eagles again! Outrageous!
"Eagle Blood Surge Technique!"
The Great Golden-Winged Eagles were known for their bad tempers.
The feathers on Jin Yu stood straight up in rage after he realized that this white tortoise was displaying a skill that had originated from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
His blood boiled and transformed into bubbling energy in his body, surging faster and faster.
It must be pointed out that the Eagle race had a natural talent for achieving turbo speed. When a true-blue pure-blooded eagle spread its wings and soared, even a tornado would find it difficult to compete.
As Jin Yu's blood surged faster and faster, he seemed to morph into a golden streak, instantly driving closer toward the white tortoise.
"You despicable scoundrel! I only ate that lousy pearl of yours. Little chicken, why are you so mad?"
Upon feeling the thick murderous aura behind him, the white tortoise was so startled that he nearly jumped out of his shell.
White streaks of electricity shot out of all over his body as his two short legs spun even faster, as if on auto-mode.
"Help!
"This little chicken has the fowl plague! He has gone crazy!
"Are there any descendants from the human or tortoise race around? Come and help me!
"Little chicken, go ahead and chase after me. If you manage to catch me, I will acknowledge that you are indeed fast!"
"Stop chasing me, little chick. As a male, you can't be too fast, or people will make fun of you!"
The white tortoise was clearly not that highly skilled. He started to show signs of fluster as Jin Yu rampaged after him, and his dodging attempts became increasingly clumsy.
But what made Jin Yu most exasperated was the fact that as desperate as that white tortoise became, his mouth continued to chatter on non-stop.
Words continued to spew out of his lips. He was clearly just some ruffian tortoise. It was infuriating!
"Damn scoundrel, I will skin you alive to make soup when I catch you!"
Jin Yu kept slashing his golden blade in all directions, forcing the white tortoise to jump and dodge all over.
Suddenly, the white tortoise seemed to have felt something and gazed toward a nearby valley. "Oh, there are some human cultivators!"
In a flash, he shot toward the valley and entered the area within seconds.
The array formation at the valley entrance was useless against the white tortoise, and he broke straight through it!
"Trying to escape? I will give up my own name if I let you escape my clutches today!"
Jin Yu was so enraged that he morphed into a golden divine blade and flew straight toward the valley.
Boom!
The simple array formation was shattered and triggered the warning system.
A strident warning siren resonated across the valley, grabbing the attention of everyone inside.
Qin Yundi was sleeping in a sitting position when he woke up with a start. There wasn't much difference between him with his eyes opened or shut in sleep with his naturally narrow eyes.
But his 64 Yin Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns were already floating behind him, glimmering coldly under the moonlight. It was a chilling sight.
Zhao Hao had consumed quite a bit of Dragon Blood Grass, and the thick Nan Ming Li Fire engulfed his entire body, forming burning, red streaks of sword aura.
Zhao Hao turned toward the valley entrance, an intense air of hostility radiating from his body.
Eunuch Gui, Qin Gao, Xiao Ling, Li Lian'er, and the rest had also drawn their weapons and surrounded Shen Tian protectively.
At present, Shen Tian was still in cultivation and absorbing the essence of the Dragon Blood Grass. They had no idea if he could be interrupted, but they didn't want to take any risks.
The array formation at the entrance suddenly shattered, and a golden figure charged into the valley.
It was Jin Yu, dressed in gold feathers with a pair of golden wings. "Damn scoundrel, come out now!"
A demon?
Stationed at the valley entrance, Qin Yundi frowned slightly.
As a Divine Firmament disciple, he had a relatively good understanding of Southern Border's demon races.
In the past 10,000 years, Southern Border's demon races had always stuck to the rules under the Immortal Phoenix Queen's orders.
Why were there suddenly demons in a Primordial Battlefield in Eastern Wilderness? And by the looks of its bloodline, it was no ordinary demon!
Qin Yundi smiled with narrowed eyes. "I am Qin Yundi, a disciple of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. What is your name?"
"None of your business. I am just looking for that scoundrel—"
Jin Yu was about to ask the people inside the valley to scram when he suddenly realized something.
His golden eyes fixed upon Qin Yundi. "What did you say? You are a disciple of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?"
Qin Yundi frowned slightly. "Yes. Buddy, may I know why you are here?"
Jin Yu smirked. "Interesting. I failed to catch that scoundrel but came face-to-face with a Divine Firmament Sacred Ground disciple.
"At the end of the day, you are all the same. If I manage to capture you, your Saint will definitely come looking for me on his own!"
With that, Jin Yu glared malevolently at Qin Yundi. His aura rose and wafted strongly toward Qin Yundi in intense waves.
Jin Yu thought that Qin Yundi would immediately beg for mercy under his tremendous aura.
But he was wrong. Very, very wrong.
The smile on Qin Yundi's face stiffened, but he showed no signs of fear. "Are you saying that you mean harm toward Senior Brother Saint?"
Jin Yu scoffed. "So what if I want to harm him? Your stupid Azure Lotus dared to attack one of my elders. He deserves to die!
"I entered the Primordial Battlefield to seek revenge. I will kill off all you Divine Firmament disciples and that Saint of yours!
"I will also let your impertinent human race know that the Southern Border Eagle race is no pushover!"
Jin Yu worked himself into a right fluster as he spoke, while Qin Yundi's expression remained passive and neutral throughout.
His narrowed eyes just glittered coldly and mercilessly.
He asked mildly, "Did you just call my Senior Brother a scoundrel?"
Jin Yu was stunned.
When did I call the Divine Firmament Saint a scoundrel? Never mind!
This was just a mere disciple of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and one that was only at the Foundation Establishment level. He was no threat to Jin Yu at all.
Judging by Qin Yundi's aura, Jin Yu was confident of killing him off in three moves!
"Get down on your knees to beg for mercy! If you cooperate and help me lure the Divine Firmament Saint out, I will let you die in one piece!"
Jin Yu spread open his wings and exuded a brilliant glow. He looked as dazzling as the sun. The battle saber in his hand was enveloped in a dense aura. The sight of it was spine-chilling.
"Stubborn fool! Golden Wings' Nine Slash, The First Slash—Slash Through Mountains And Rivers!"
Jin Yu snorted upon seeing that Qin Yundi had no intention of begging for mercy. He raised his saber high, and the long golden blade curved like the dome of heaven, exuding wave after wave of an intense aura.
Qin Yundi's narrowed eyes shone in disdain at Jin Yu, who was hovering in mid-air.
With such a low skill level, how dare he insult Senior Brother so brazenly?
"Anyone who insults Senior Brother must die!"
A resolute voice sounded out.
All 64 Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns behind Qin Yundi gave off a faint glow.
Bang!
A Spirit Gold Bullet shot toward Jin Yu, leaving behind a trail of fire. Its speed was so fast that one could only see the faint afterimage.
"So fast!"
Jin Yu's expression turned solemn, and a golden shield appeared before him. The shield was magnified and blocked the Spirit Gold Bullet's pathway, sending it flying off in another direction.
"Haha, so mediocre!"
Jin Yu scoffed, and the golden saber in his hands seemed to become even more dense and solid.
But in the next second, his face underwent a major shift, and big drops of sweat trickled down his forehead. This was because the other 63 Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns also started to fire in succession.
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The 64 Yin Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns behind Qin Yundi fired ceaselessly, spewing out a faint blue flame.
Spirit Gold Bullets streaked out of the nozzles, carrying with them trails of fire, all aimed straight at Jin Yu.
Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
As an endless stream of Spirit Gold Bullets made contact with the golden shield, the shield's glow started to grow weaker.
Jin Yu's face looked somewhat pallid. After all, this golden shield was one of his core weapons. It was exceptionally powerful and also closely linked to Jin Yu's own internal energy.
It was no great challenge for the golden shield to block a single Spirit Gold Bullet. But Qin Yundi was firing too many bullets at it. Dozens after dozens of shots directed right at it with no end in sight!
After ten rounds of Spirit Gold Bullets, the golden shield had completely lost its former glow. Visible cracks had also started to show.
After 20 rounds of bullets, the saber in Jin Yu's hand had disintegrated as he put forth all his power into the golden shield.
As 40 Spirit Gold Bullets struck at the same time, the golden shield shattered into pieces, and Jin Yu spewed out a mouthful of blood.
He didn't even have time to mourn for the loss of his golden shield, as Qin Yundi's Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns continued to fire at him.
In addition, Qin Yundi was methodically reloading the guns which had run out of Spirit Gold Bullets so that they would be all ready to fire in the next round.
What kind of monster is this?
He is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so why is he even scarier than that Blood Demon?
"Scoundrel, how dare you deceive me! You must be the Divine Firmament Saint, right? Devious swine!"
Jin Yu flapped his wings pathetically as he dodged the Spirit Gold Bullets. But having lost his edge, he was just fighting a losing battle.
Splat!
Splat, splat, splat!
Splat, splat, splat, splat, splat!
Blood splattered all over Jin Yu's body and wings. He looked very wretched now.
Luckily, Jin Yu's feathered clothing was one of the precious artifacts of the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race with powerful defensive properties.
Otherwise, just one round from Qin Yundi's Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns would have been enough to tear Jin Yu into shreds.
But even with the golden-feathered clothing protecting him, Jin Yu still collapsed to the ground, having sustained serious injuries.
He gazed at Qin Yundi. "Despicable! I never knew that the Divine Firmament Saint would use such an evil and malevolent weapon! If you are truly capable, don't use this kind of weapon. Fight me in a real battle with real blades!"
Qin Yundi gazed mildly at Jin Yu, his 64 guns gleaming. "You got the wrong person. Compared to Senior Brother Saint, I am like a firefly while he is the burning sun. The likes of you dare to insult Senior Brother Saint? Open your eyes wider in your next life!"
At that, Qin Yundi was about to launch another round of gunfire to send this ridiculous golden-feathered eagle to hell. But he suddenly frowned.
His guns suddenly all turned their nozzles toward the entrance of the valley.
Four feathered figures flew through the entrance. Every single one of them exuded an extremely powerful aura, all on par with Jin Yu's.
A young lady in a multi-colored, feathered outfit was in the lead. Her aura was even more exceptional. She was backlit by divine light and looked like a Goddess descending onto the earth.
Jin Yu heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing his companions arrive. "Everyone, be careful. This fellow is the Divine Firmament Saint. He is very devious! Especially that evil weapon behind him. It is very fast, and every single shot can hurt your Golden Core!"
Upon hearing Jin Yu's cautionary words and seeing his bloodied visage, the four prodigies looked extremely grave. They surrounded Qin Yundi and were prepared to launch a vicious and sudden attack on him.
"Junior Brother Zhao Hao, I will hold them back first."
"You go wake up Senior Brother. He is the only one who can handle these people."
A worried glint flashed across Qin Yundi's narrowed eyes. He was well aware of how he measured up against this gang. He was confident of holding his own against Jin Yu in a direct fight, but he would not be able to easily kill off Jin Yu.
After all, if Jin Yu had not been so arrogantly careless but had just launched a major attack and relied on his natural speed, the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun might not have so easily defeated him.
And now, these four other prodigies had arrived, each of whom was as strong as Jin Yu, with the leader even more powerful.
In addition, Jin Yu had already warned them, so the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns had lost their surprise element, greatly decreasing their effectiveness.
In this scenario, Qin Yundi was not confident of defeating these folks at all. He could only hope to stall them.
Zhao Hao nodded solemnly before dashing toward the inner regions of the valley to wake up Shen Tian.
"Letting your Junior Brother leave first?"
The prodigy from the Lark race smiled coquettishly. "What a kind-hearted Divine Firmament Saint. You look rather effeminate but possess the integrity of a real man."
The prodigy from the White Crane race scoffed. "Jin Yu, he is just a human at the Foundation Establishment stage. How did he manage to beat you into this wretched state?"
Jin Yu snorted. "He Wushuang, take on this human on your own if you dare. Be careful that he doesn't shoot you to death!"
He Wushuang laughed out loud. "Let me try, then! Stand by everyone, don't interfere!"
Right after that, countless white feathers shot out of He Wushuang's body. These were feathers formed by pure magical energy. Every single feather was enough to cause grievous injury to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
A rain of feathers shot toward Qin Yundi. They didn't move at a very high speed, but Qin Yundi had nowhere to run. The attack covered all angles.
He Wushuang might be cocky, but his moves were much more cautious than Jin Yu's.
"Insignificant bug, I will smash you!"
Qin Yundi scoffed. Hundreds of talismans suddenly appeared and headed straight toward those feathers.
"Senior Brother said before: Art is all about explosions!"
The wind swept up Qin Yundi's golden hair. His narrowed eyes opened wide, and a dazzling light shone out of them.
Boom!
A terrifying wave of explosion destroyed all the magical white feathers, and a thick cloud of dust and ash covered the entire valley.
"All of them were premium Lightning Explosion Talismans!"
The prodigy from the Lark race covered her mouth. She was speechless. "He is indeed the Divine Firmament Saint. So impressive and imposing!"
"So what? In the face of absolute power, they are like the moon's reflection on the water—just a pretty image unable to withstand a single blow!"
He Wushuang gave a cold laugh as he suddenly appeared behind Qin Yundi. He was holding a crane feather brush like a sword, all ready to thrust it into Qin Yundi.
But even as the crane feather brush pierced into Qin Yundi, there was no sign of joy in He Wushuang's face.
On the contrary, his face darkened as he quickly tried to pull out his brush and retreat.
Although that crane feather brush had stabbed him, not a single drop of blood could be seen on Qin Yundi. Instead, he started to turn black.
It... was a clay figure made out of soil and shaped by mystical arts to act as bait.
"You have rather quick reflexes, but a pity it is already too late."
Qin Yundi's voice echoed through the dust.
The ground beneath He Wushuang's feet split open as silver Armor Penetrating Bullets exploded around him.
Following closely behind the Armor Penetrating Bullets were Spirit Gold Bullets shooting at He Wushuang from all directions. He was caught right in the middle.
An intense firing sound erupted all around as Spirit Gold Bullets came straight at He Wushuang from all angles.
It was obvious that this was a trap Qin Yundi had set earlier, to lure He Wushuang to his doom.
He was the only disciple at the Foundation Establishment stage among his generation at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Although Qin Yundi's cultivation level was not as high as the other disciples, his battle experience was definitely on par with any one of them.
Before the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman was invented, he had once used normal Lightning Explosion Talismans to blow up a Golden Core demon.
It could be seen just how adept Qin Yundi was in using explosives in battle.
Now, with his Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns and the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans, Qin Yundi's battle prowess had been greatly enhanced.
Even when faced with Southern Border's top prodigies, Qin Yundi did not show any signs of fear. He just dived right into battle with them.
He might look like a mild person, but... Under that genial face was a monster!
The dust settled...
Qin Yundi stood passively at the entrance of the valley.
Beneath his feet was He Wushuang, with all four limbs nailed to the ground.
Three Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns were aimed straight at He Wushuang's head, while the other guns were facing the remaining three demons.
In a mild voice, Qin Yundi said, "Number one, I already said I am not Senior Brother Saint. If he was here, he would be able to annihilate you with just the flick of a finger.
"Number two, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will never initiate trouble. But if anyone tries to mess with us, I will not hesitate to launch my guns!
"Number three, don't make any wrong moves if you don't want your friend to die!"
Big drops of sweat dripped down He Wushuang's forehead as he felt the cold aura exuded by those Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns.
He hurriedly called out. "Fairy Kong Meng, save me!"
The lady dressed in the multi-colored outfit stepped up and gazed at Qin Yundi. "You are very gifted in battle. I admire that.
"I must admit that this Divine Firmament Saint of yours, whom you praise so highly, has successfully ignited my interest.
"Let go of He Wushuang! As long as you help us find the Divine Firmament Saint, I promise not to kill you."
Qin Yundi returned Kong Meng's gaze. He did not dare to let down his guard. "Do you think I will believe you?"
Kong Meng smiled. "Don't believe me if you want. It makes no difference to me."
At that, the peacock avatar behind Kong Meng suddenly opened up as rays of multi-colored divine light shot out.
The divine light moved at an extreme speed, and before Qin Yundi could react, He Wushuang had disappeared from beneath his feet.
At the same time, one of his Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns was also dragged away by the divine light.
Qin Yundi took a deep breath as he looked at Kong Meng's imperious face.
"The Peacock race's most powerful skill, the Rainbow Divine Light? You actually managed to successfully master that!?"

Chapter 209: Right Thing At The Right Time
The Phoenix race was Southern Border's ruler.
Few other races were well known for their strength, and they could even match the sacred grounds.
The Peacock race and Great Golden-Winged Eagle race were the best two among those races, and they were no weaker than any sacred ground.
The Great Golden-Winged Eagle race specialized in speed and attack, while the Peacock race was good in Mighty Prowess of the five elements.
The Rainbow Divine Light was the Peacock race's strongest heritage art. It was said that only the purest peacock bloodline born with the Five Elements Constitution had the right to cultivate on this Mighty Prowess.
After one mastered this art, they could absorb anything that possessed one of the five elements' attributes.
Kong Meng was the Peacock that possessed the purest bloodline in the last millennium.
When she had been born, a five-colored cloud had appeared above Peacock Village, its light covering the entire area.
The peacock statue deep in the village had awakened and passed down the heritage art to Kong Meng.
Kong Meng had become the Peacock Princess ever since and was even more respected than most elders.
The reason was very simple—the Peacock race could do with fewer elders or even decision-makers. However, Kong Meng was their only hope to bring glory to the race. Thus, they had to ensure nothing would go wrong!
A five-colored Peacock was said to have slaughtered an Immortal before!
Although Kong Meng was only 20 years old, she was undefeated.
Due to her Rainbow Divine Light, no one in Southern Border could beat her, and even the royal princess had lost to her. She was also ranked the first on Southern Border's Golden Core List.
Naturally, many other talented cultivators doubted her ability. Thus, seven men from the Golden Core List had teamed together and challenged Kong Meng. In the end, they had been defeated in an instant.
Kong Meng had become well known then!
Some people would even compare her with the Immortal Phoenix Queen.
According to rumors, the Phoenix Queen liked Kong Meng very much and would take her as her goddaughter. Thus, Kong Meng was highly regarded among the Southern Border demons.
She was only standing in front of Qin Yundi smilingly, yet he could feel the pressure suffocating him.
She was a real warrior who had never tasted defeat before. Although her cultivation was suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage, she was still a very troublesome opponent.
"You... are that person from the Peacock race?"
Qin Yundi started to sweat, and his Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun was ready for attack.
"This Dharma artifact is really interesting."
Kong Meng played with Qin Yundi's gun, and it fell apart with a glowing light.
Boom!
The Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun self-destructed, and the impact was rather strong. However, it did not hurt Kong Meng at all.
The Rainbow Divine Light had blocked the explosion accurately.
"What a great array formation! Seems like an expert set it."
Kong Meng smiled and looked at Qin Yundi. "I like this Dharma artifact very much. I'll not kill you if you give me some of them."
I'll not kill you if you give me some of them?
Kong Meng's tone was rather serious about it.
The relationship between humans and demons was not good to begin with. Although Kong Meng did not wish to exterminate humans, she was ready to engage in battle. Just like how hunters would not empathize with their prey, the demons did not show any mercy at all.
Qin Yundi ground his teeth and said, "You are daydreaming!"
He controlled the remaining 63 Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns and fired them. The gun barrels shot out a rain of bullets at Kong Meng.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sudden attack terrified Jin Yu and He Wushuang. Their guns had already given them nasty wounds, and there was no way for them to hide.
"You cannot beat me," Kong Meng said confidently. She made a hand seal, and a peacock opened its tail. Then a huge light shield appeared in front of her, blocking all the bullets effortlessly.
"How can that be!?"
Qin Yundi was shocked by what happened. That attack could even penetrate one's Golden Core Restriction Realm!
With more than 60 simultaneous attacks, even peak Golden Core cultivators had to be extremely careful.
How did she manage to block all the attacks here in the Primordial Battlefield when their cultivation level was suppressed at the Foundation Establishment stage?
"You are really rude," Kong Meng said calmly and moved her finger.
The Rainbow Divine Light appeared out of nowhere and engulfed dozens of Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns.
Qin Yundi quickly retreated with the rest of his weapons. He would have lost all his weapons if he did not respond in time.
"She is so strong!"
Qin Yundi felt a chill coursing through his spine.
It was too difficult for him to fight against her!
Maybe only his Senior Brother could handle her!
Jin Yu and He Wushuang were thrilled upon seeing that Kong Meng had the upper hand.
"Human! You should really take a look at the mirror! If there was no level suppression in the Primordial Battlefield, I could destroy you alone! Fairy Kong Meng! Just absorb all the weapons he has. We will tear him apart slowly."
Kong Meng played with the guns in her hand and shook her head. "He let his friend escape first, and this is rather brave. He is not the guy I need right now. I just need the Divine Firmament Saint today!"
Kong Meng said, "Stop struggling and ask your Senior Brother to come here and save you. I'm really interested to see how strong he is!"
Kong Meng's eyes were glowing with passion.
She was too strong and too lonely!
The Rainbow Divine Light had accompanied her since birth, and her peers could never last more than 10 moves when she trained with them. Thus, Kong Meng did not have a very easy life like everyone's assumptions.
She really hoped she could meet one opponent that could match evenly with her or even beat her during battle.
Helping Jin Yu was not her top priority here in Eastern Wilderness. She had heard that an extremely talented cultivator was in Eastern Wilderness—the Saint of the Purple Mansion! He had great providence and connections to the Black Dragon Island. He could become a Thearch in the future.
Kong Meng hoped to fight with that Saint!
If her Rainbow Divine Light could be improved because of their battle, it would be much better!
However, Kong Meng did not expect the Primordial Battlefield to bring her such a surprise.
Qin Yundi was much stronger than Kong Meng's expectations.
Jin Yu and He Wushuang were among the top ten cultivators on the Southern Border Golden Core List. Although they were the lowest-ranked and the power they could currently exert was of the Foundation Establishment stage, they could easily beat a Golden Core cultivator!
However, after taking turns to take on Qin Yundi, they had not even managed to get the upper hand. If Kong Meng had not helped in time, they would have been defeated by now.
Also, for some reason, such a powerful cultivator admired the Divine Firmament Saint, whose name was unknown.
Naturally, this raised Kong Meng's interest regarding the Divine Firmament Saint. She wished to have a great time while fighting with this Saint!
Qin Yundi scoffed and looked at Kong Meng straight in the eyes. "I have contacted my Senior Brother. If you really think you are strong, just wait in the valley.
"So what if you have defeated me? Your power is nothing compared to my Senior Brother. He can finish you off with a single strike!"
Jin Yu had finished applying medicine to his wound and was looking at Qin Yundi with hatred.
"Fairy Kong Meng, let's not waste time with this guy. Kill him first!"
Kong Meng glared at him and said, "Are you telling me what to do?"
Jin Yu felt immense pressure and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Fairy Kong Meng! I didn't mean to!"
Kong Meng nodded and closed her eyes. She said excitedly, "I can feel a power that is awakening. He's strong. Strong enough to make my heart beat faster. That is the Divine Firmament Saint? Not bad!"
Upon seeing Kong Meng walk toward the valley, Qin Yundi became nervous and wanted to stop her.
At that moment, a voice echoed from the valley, "Junior Brother Yundi, good job for standing your ground. Just let them in."
It was a familiar voice!
Qin Yundi quickly let go of all his worries and relaxed.
It's Senior Brother! He's awake!
Qin Yundi felt that as long as his Senior Brother was there, he had nothing to worry about.
Southern Border's geniuses? Peacock Princess?
They are nothing compared to my Senior Brother Shen Tian!
What a proud peacock! Just you wait, my Senior Brother will defeat you in no time!
Qin Yundi stored his Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns and entered the valley.
Kong Meng did not bother if it was a trap and followed after him.
There were about ten young cultivators in the valley... Well, not all were young. There were some old men, and they looked out of place.
Kong Meng ignored all of them and looked at Shen Tian. Her fierce stare softened the moment she saw him, while the Rainbow Divine Light behind her became less intense too. It looked like a beautiful rainbow now.
"Are you the Saint from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground? We will tear you into pieces!"
Jin Yu's animosity toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had only increased after Qin Yundi injured him.
At the same time, upon seeing that Shen Tian was better looking than him, his hatred increased much more.
He said, "Fairy Kong Meng, please help me to defeat this man! I'll tear him into—"
Before Jin Yu could finish, Kong Meng glared at him, and he kept quiet.
She was exuding a different kind of aura now. It was soft and even... friendly!?
"Jin Yu! Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus is the one that killed your elder. What does that have to do with the Divine Firmament Saint?
"You have to do the right thing at the right time. I'm only here to have a friendly spar with the Saint.
"Do not focus your anger on the wrong person and put shame on the Feather race."
Then, she looked at Shen Tian with a blushed expression.
"Are you the Divine Firmament Saint? Could I spar with you?"

Chapter 210: Please Subdue Me!
Kong Meng's words instantly stunned Jin Yu.
Didn't you say beforehand that it was within your capacity!?
How come Fairy Kong Meng is speaking for this Divine Firmament Saint instead? Who's side is she taking!?
"Fairy, please help us. You cannot go back on your words!"
Jin Yu looked like he was extremely wronged. He could not win against them in a fight, so he could only try to reason with her. After all, without Kong Meng backing him, he could not even beat a mettlesome Qin Yundi.
This damned Primordial Battlefield! It's too unfair that it only restricts cultivators above the Golden Core stage!
If it was not for their strength being restricted, Jin Yu would not be this fearful of them. He had the confidence to annihilate everyone by himself!
It was a pity that there was no if. In order to capture the Divine Firmament Saint, he could only rely on Kong Meng.
It was as if Kong Meng did not hear what Jin Yu had said as she looked straight at Shen Tian. She could sense that this man in front of her had an abundance of scorching essence energy.
She looked at Shen Tian as if she was looking at a volcano. The volcano could erupt at any time, and its magma might swallow her.
"He's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while he has only reached the Transcendence realm of Godfiend Body Tempering, yet he has such an amazing aura!" Kong Meng murmured, "If you successfully reach the Golden Core stage, I might not be your opponent."
"Divine Firmament Saint, can you tell me your name?"
While Kong Meng was sizing up Shen Tian, the latter was also carefully sizing up Kong Meng.
However, what he thought was not how strong Kong Meng was... but whether this person was a guy or a girl.
Wouldn't only male peacocks spread their tails!? Why would there be an illusion of a peacock spreading its tail behind her?
Is it possible that this girl is similar to Kong Xuan[1, a transgender?
At that thought, Shen Tian's expression turned weird. "Who are you?"
Kong Meng replied, "I apologize for my rudeness, I should introduce myself first.
"I am the Kong Meng from Southern Border's Divine Peacock race. I've heard that there are many talented people in Eastern Wilderness, so I hope to be able to learn from them through exchanging blows.
"Saint, you are powerful. Since everyone's cultivation levels are restricted to the Foundation Establishment stage in the Primordial Battlefield, I hope you can have a battle with me so I can experience Eastern Wilderness geniuses' strength!"
Kong Meng's voice turned much gentler than before, but she still wanted to challenge Shen Tian. Evidently, she was truly a woman that was eager to excel. She had experienced the loneliness of being invincible, and her desire for a powerful opponent had reached its peak.
Shen Tian felt a little uncomfortable as Kong Meng was staring at him with a burning passion.
This girl's gaze is too aggressive! Are you sure you only just want to spar?
If I recall correctly, in the story of 'Journey to the West', peacocks really liked eating humans. Even Gautama Buddha had been swallowed before.
Ssss! She wouldn't be thinking of eating me in the name of a friendly spar, right!?
At that thought, Shen Tian instantly became vigilant.
He smiled slightly. "Fairy Kong is Southern Border's genius. You've come such a long way to Eastern Wilderness, so as the Divine Firmament Saint, I should do the honors of playing host.
"How could I spar with Fairy Kong? You must be exhausted from traveling. I'll be taking advantage of you, so we should just forget about this spar!"
After listening to Shen Tian's "upright and honorable" speech, the admiration within Kong Meng's eyes increased.
"Divine Firmament Saint, you're indeed amazing! However, I've wished to have a fight to my heart's content for a long time. I simply cannot wait any longer!
"Divine Firmament Saint, please make a move! I am anticipating a true opponent. Please subdue me!"
Please subdue me!
After those three words were uttered, the hint of gentleness in Kong Meng's eyes disappeared completely. What replaced it was an indomitable battle spirit as the Rainbow Divine Light started shining behind her.
The Rainbow Divine Light spread out behind her as if an enormous peacock king was spreading its tail. It was an extremely magnificent sight.
Normally, the biggest dangers were hidden within extreme beauty.
As the Rainbow Divine Light was completely unleashed, Shen Tian could feel his instincts warning him intensely.
It was evident that this Rainbow Divine Light was extremely extraordinary. If it really covered him, he would most likely be in great trouble.
Upon seeing the Rainbow Divine Light shooting at him, Shen Tian's pupils instantly constricted, and he threw out tens of Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman.
The Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans pierced through the air as if they were swords and shot toward the Rainbow Divine Light.
Their speed was actually comparable to the Rainbow Divine Light!
Zhao Hao stared straight at Shen Tian. "Such ingenious swordsmanship! A man of great wisdom often seems slow-witted, the speed is close to the extreme!"
He murmured as he watched the sword-aura-engulfed Lightning Explosion Talismans, "Senior Brother Shen is amazing. He's so fast!"
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao stared at Shen Tian passionately. "His Highness has turned stronger. He is actually able to merge the Lightning Explosion Talismans with his swordsmanship!"
"Is it possible that this is the supreme realm recorded in the Demon Book of Hyuga, where everything can become a sword!?"
Shen Ao lowered his head to look at the sword in his hands and could not help but sigh. "I'm unworthy!"
The sword-aura-engulfed Lightning Explosion Talismans shot toward the Rainbow Divine Light and actually tore through the Rainbow Divine Light!
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Explosion sounds echoed continuously while the Rainbow Divine Light's speed was forcibly reduced.
Meanwhile, in that instant, Shen Tian had already moved away from the radius enveloped by the Rainbow Divine Light.
Shen Tian let out a resigned sigh as he looked at Kong Meng. Her fighting spirit had been aroused, and she was eager to continue fighting, "Fairy Kong, why do you want to have such a pointless fight?"
Shen Tian really did not understand.
Isn't everyone cultivating, so they can live longer and have a better life?
Why do those geniuses like to find others and battle so much!?
If one wins, they will hold a grudge. If one loses, then it might result in death. No matter winning or losing, there are no benefits at all! Why bother then!?
Kong Meng looked at Shen Tian, her battle spirit rising to the maximum. "This is not a meaningless battle. In the Demon race, the strong are worshiped. Only the strong are respected.
"Divine Firmament Saint, although you have an unparalleled appearance, if you want to win my respect, please defeat me with your strength head-on!
"I long for an evenly matched battle, and the best is if I am defeated. Please satisfy me!"
Swoosh!
Kong Meng's multi-colored dress suddenly spread out like a peacock spreading its tail, and she released more and more Rainbow Divine Light, shooting toward Shen Tian.
"Why are you forcing me?"
Shen Tian let out another resigned sigh as Kong Meng kept attacking him.
If she were a normal demon, he would have long pulled out his Executing Heaven Sword and sliced her in one shot. He would then... make peacock soup to drink.
However, the problem was that a pure golden halo was hovering over her head, its color even more resplendent than Zhang Yunxi's. There was even a glimmer of purple light!
Such an existence was definitely someone blessed by providence and one of this demon generation's main characters.
In addition, she was the only pure-blooded Rainbow Divine Peacock in the past 1,000 years. In other words, she was the hope of bringing the Peacock race to prosperity. Thus, she was the most valued existence in the race.
If one were to say she had nothing up her sleeves to save her life and could be easily killed, Shen Tian definitely would not believe such a thing.
Also, Kong Meng did not have any ill intentions. It was just her chuunibyou's soul that was burning passionately, and she had to have a battle with Shen Tian to decide the winner.
Shen Tian felt that there was no need to anyhow make enemies, especially a powerful enemy with obviously higher providence than himself.
Keeping a low profile and growing stronger was the goal Shen Tian pursued. It was definitely not because of his cowardliness!
The Azure Dragon Armor slowly formed on his body, while Azure Dragon I Divine Lightning (Wood) was continuously gathered in Shen Tian's hands. This time, he did not shape it as a lightning ball, but instead, a long lightning sword was formed.
That lightning longsword was like a green snake. It kept smashing at the Rainbow Divine Light, tearing the Rainbow Divine Light apart.
When the Rainbow Divine Light was torn apart, Qin Yundi murmured to himself, "Such a powerful sword!"
No one was clearer than him on how tough and fearsome the Rainbow Divine Light was as he had faced it before.
Before the Rainbow Divine Light, even the 63 Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns' simultaneous shots had been unable to even leave a scratch on it.
Nonetheless, Shen Tian repeatedly tore apart this impenetrable Rainbow Divine Light. This was naturally not because the Rainbow Divine Light had turned weaker. It was Shen Tian, who had formed a sword with Lightning Talismans and lightning, thus increasing the Lightning Explosion Talisman and I Divine Lightning (Wood) power to a frightening degree.
As Shen Tian had the Divine Sword Constitution, these seemingly normal attacks were being enhanced!
They were enhanced to a degree that most Foundation Establishment cultivators could not even dare to imagine!
"You are indeed able to satisfy me! However, such an attack is far from enough! Use more strength, use more strength!"
As small cuts formed on the Rainbow Divine Light after being sliced repeatedly, Kong Meng revealed a satisfied smile.
She had been invincible for too long. There was no one of the same generation in Southern Border that could even tear apart her Rainbow Divine Light. The loneliness and emptiness of being invincible—she knew those feelings better than anyone else.
It was enough meeting Shen Tian in this Primordial Battlefield!
Kong Meng sensed the cuts Shen Tian had torn in her Rainbow Divine Light and discovered its shortcomings and weak points. When battling, Kong Meng's understanding and control over the Rainbow Divine Light was increasing at an obvious speed.
Being in seclusion for 100 years could not be compared to fighting a hearty battle—battling was always the shortcut to increasing one's strength!
Not only was Kong Meng's Rainbow Divine Light becoming stronger, but Shen Tian's understanding of swordsmanship was also deepening.
"The formless is the best form. The swordless is the best sword. Everything could become a sword! There is no technique that is indefectible, only swiftness is undefeatable!"
Shen Tian actually started to understand and absorb the many chuunibyou theories of the way of the sword that he had read about in his previous life, converting them to his foundation for his Sword Dao.
As he continued battling, Shen Tian felt that although he did not learn any sword technique, his understanding of the Sword Dao was improving.
If the cultivators training diligently in the way of the sword witnessed such a scene, they might even start doubting themselves.
"I'm glad that I could meet you, Divine Firmament Saint."
Kong Meng looked at Shen Tian with a bright smile on her face. "If you only possess such strength, then you will definitely lose today!
"Unsheath your sword! Since you have such superb swordsmanship, I don't believe you don't have your own peerless sword.
"Use your sword to subdue me, or let me subdue your sword. Come, satisfy me!
"If you can defeat me, you shall obtain the Peacock race's respect and friendship!"
After saying that, Kong Meng suddenly flapped the wings behind her. She flew toward the sky, and the Rainbow Divine Light illusion behind her seemed to become real.
Immediately after, it gathered to form a humongous barrier of Rainbow Divine Light, and it was about to land onto Shen Tian.
Shen Tian watched as Kong Meng controlled the Rainbow Divine Light barrier and flew toward him. He sighed as he had no other choice anymore.
A long emerald vine covered in silver Heavy Water stretched out of his right hand.
In the next instant, the Divine Devouring Vine suddenly turned long and pierced through the sky.
The onlookers fixed their burning gazes on the Divine Devouring Vine and light barrier as they collided.
Ka!
Cracks appeared on the impenetrable light barrier!
The Rainbow Divine Light had cracked open!
