Chapter 231 We Welcome You With Open Arms (3/4)
In the Primordial Battlefield, in a certain massive and rather uniquely-constructed cave amongst the mountains...
The entrance of this cave was not very large, but several meters in, the cave suddenly opened up.
A tremendous underground palace was hidden inside this cave.
This underground palace was very big and entirely carved out of a special stone that was as white as jade. It looked very extravagant.
18 giant silver wolves were crouched at the front of the palace, all of them exuding an exceptionally powerful aura.
A sign hung above the main doors of the palace. Three words were written on it in gold: Thousand Weapons Palace.
Creak~
The main doors of the palace opened.
A bunch of humans and five birds emerged from it.
It was Shen Tian and his companions. They had finished their training in this Thousand Weapons Palace.
Shen Tian smiled contentedly upon looking at the nearly golden halo on Qin Yundi's head.
Yes, this Thousand Weapons Palace was indeed the fortuitous opportunity presented on Qin Yundi's head.
In ancient times, this palace had been painstakingly crafted by the wandering Thousand Weapons Saint. It had been specially created to test and select the most suitable successor.
Although this Thousand Weapons Saint had not had exemplary battle prowess, he had been very good at crafting.
He had been especially skilled at crafting powerful puppets to fight his enemies.
Legend had it that the Thousand Weapons Saint had once controlled 18 peak-level Soul Formation silver dragon puppets at his peak. They had torn another Saint into pieces.
A pity that on the Primordial Battlefield, even a Saint could not guarantee they would not die.
In the end, the Thousand Weapons Saint had perished under a sneak ambush by his enemies, leaving behind this legacy palace.
Shen Tian had seen this palace on top of Qin Yundi's head. As a result, he had brought the group to this Thousand Weapons Palace ahead of time and forced his way through all the tests.
Don't ask me why it was so easy. The reason was simple. This was because Shen Tian had already seen the script on Qin Yundi's head.
In the original script, Qin Yundi had struggled for a long time before finally discovering those puppets' weaknesses. But Shen Tian had managed to immediately hit the nail on the head, as everyone stared in amazement, especially Qin Yundi. He now gazed at Shen Tian with sparkling eyes.
He was indeed Senior Brother Shen Tian. Not only was he peerless in terms of Qi Refinement and Body Tempering, he even had such an in-depth understanding of puppets.
There was nothing he could not do! He was indeed the perfect idol for all the disciples.
You are our guiding light!
"Yundi, your divine consciousness is naturally more powerful than normal people. You can easily control several Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns at once.
"The main theme of this Thousand Weapons Sutra is how to control multiple things at once. It is very suitable for you. You must study it carefully from now on."
Shen Tian smiled as he advised Qin Yundi.
Originally, although Qin Yundi had managed to pass the test, he had spent too much time on it and hadn't gotten a good score.
As a result, Qin Yundi had only managed to obtain the four-scroll Thousand Weapons Sutra's first two scrolls. He hadn't obtained the complete version.
Nonetheless, since Shen Tian had already known what was going to happen-and he was more powerful than Qin Yundi anyway-he had passed all the tests in the shortest amount of time.
Therefore, he had easily obtained the entire sutra and had even become the Thousand Weapons Saint's chosen successor.
Shen Tian was now holding a token. It was the token acknowledging him as the owner of the Thousand Weapons Palace.
As long as he had this token, he would be able to use all the weapons in that palace. It was nearly as valuable as a divine artifact. Shen Tian was very satisfied with his gain. What made him even happier was that his providence had increased by quite a bit after gaining this fortuitous opportunity.
After performing some hand seals, he drew the large Thousand Weapons Palace back into the token and released the 18 silver wolves from his ownership.
"Junior Brother Yundi, these 18 silver wolf puppets are at the Golden Core stage.
"If you can control them perfectly, you will be able to dominate over all the prodigies on the Eastern Wilderness Golden Core List!
"Amongst us all, you are the only one with a divine consciousness powerful enough to control these wolves.
"I am giving you these 18 silver wolves today. I hope that you will not let down the great name of our predecessor."
Qin Yundi was extremely moved as he gazed upon Shen Tian's sincere, smiling face.
It must be pointed out that although these 18 silver wolf puppets were only at the Golden Core stage, the materials used to craft them were very expensive.
If he could control these 18 wolves perfectly, he would be able to form a "Silver Wolf Pack Hunting Array". This would greatly increase his battle capabilities.
Even a normal Nascent Soul practitioner would be torn apart by these 18 silver wolves' highly-coordinated attacks.
If he could perfectly control these wolves, Qin Yundi's battle prowess would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will definitely try my best!"
Shen Tian nodded at Qin Yundi's thanks.
"Also, Yundi, I don't wish to see you stagnate. You are very interested in studying exploding talismans, Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns, and these puppets. And these are not mutually exclusive."
Qin Yundi fell into deep thought. But he felt like something was still blocking his view of the wider picture.
Opening his eyes wider, he gazed at Shen Tian like how one would gaze at a god in worship. "Senior Brother, please give me some pointers."
Shen Tian replied calmly, "It's very simple. If you are interested, you can try adding a weapon like the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun to those puppets in order to increase their abilities. You might be able to create some unexpected results." Qin Yundi mulled over this.
Does Senior Brother mean for me to use the exploding arts to bring a whole new level to these puppets?
His eyes gradually brightened.
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.
Phew!
After spending five whole days, he finally managed to clear out the fortuitous opportunities on his companions' heads.
Meanwhile, the halo on Shen Tian's head had turned from the original half-red, half-green to mostly red with only a small portion of green now.
But Shen Tian was still feeling very uncertain. His providence had decreased, but he hadn't encountered any unlucky incidents.
It must be pointed out previously in the Fog Plain when Shen Tian had broken through to the Transcendence realm, he had been bound by the Divine Binding Vine and transported to the Fog Valley because his providence had decreased.
If Zhao Hao's Master hadn't died, which increased Shen Tian's providence in time, he would have been a goner.
But why hadn't he encountered any danger this time? Even though he had a breakthrough and his providence decreased?
Could it be he was being very careful? But no matter what, it was for the best he hadn't encountered any danger.
At that moment, Shen Tian's teleportation jade talisman became increasingly warm and floated out.
The faces of everyone stiffened. This was because this meant the special period in the Primordial Battlefield was about to be over.
Those dominant lords of the deeper regions of the battlefield would be returning soon. Those soulless creatures who used to be at the Nascent Soul stage and below would no longer be safe.
Everyone had to immediately activate their teleportation jade talisman and return home.
"We need to return home now." Shen Tian calmly infused some magic into the teleportation jade talisman. He looked at Kong Meng, Jin Yu, and the rest.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you as guests to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground whenever you get the chance to visit in the future."
Kong Meng stared at Shen Tian longingly. She nodded. "You are welcome to my people's place as a guest anytime. We welcome you with open arms."
Jin Yu felt somewhat abashed. He felt that if they were going to battle... It was better not to meet again!
As he infused magic into the teleportation jade talisman, Shen Tian could feel a strange energy pulling at him.
A bizarre light moved rapidly in front of him. It was as if space and time were transforming right before his eyes. It had finally ended.
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief as he relaxed significantly.
It must be said that although he had been on tenterhooks the entire time in the Primordial Battlefield, he had gained quite a lot.
As long as he could safely return, he would be the biggest winner in this Primordial Battlefield Trial!
One second...
Two seconds... Three seconds... After the teleportation was completed, the smile on Shen Tian's face slowly stiffened.
This didn't look like the sect town!

Chapter 232 Little Cutie (4/4)
On the borders of the Primordial Battlefield, somewhere within a secret valley...
Black-robed figures stood there quietly, blending into the darkness.
Facing them was a person in a dark-red robe, looking exceptionally evil and malevolent.
"Sect Master, we confirmed that Young Master is imprisoned inside the sect town."
"Young Master has the array flags, which we need to release Lord Sacred Spirit. We must be very careful!"
"What do you mean by we have to be careful because Young Master has the array flags? Do you mean we can afford to be careless and let him die if he doesn't have the flags?"
"I don't mean it that way. I am just saying that Young Master has been imprisoned for over 10 days, and we need to move quickly." "Yes, the Heavenly Demon day is tomorrow night. We don't have much time left."
The black-robed figures started a heated discussion.
At this point, the red-robed man said calmly, "Quiet."
The man looked very imperious. Every member of the Evil Spirit Sect quietened down the moment he spoke.
He said mildly, "It is my fault that Hei Yuan failed and was captured by the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. I did not teach my son well enough. I will punish him severely after we rescue him.
"But Hei Yuan's life is not the most important thing now. The most important issue is the Heavenly Demon array flags in Hei Yuan's hands.
"I have schemed for thousands of years just to release Lord Sacred Spirit today.
"After I release Lord Sacred Spirit, I will gain recognition, and my status in the sect will rise greatly.
"Everyone here will also be rewarded by Lord Sacred Spirit. You will enjoy a smooth pathway to Immortal Ascension!"
The eyes of the black-robed figures glittered with anticipation at his words.
"We will obey all of Sect Master's commands!"
"I am willing to sacrifice my life for the sake of the Evil Spirit Sect!"
"All hail the Evil Spirit Sect. All hail Sect Master. Today we sleep on the floors. Tomorrow we will be immortals!"
"Strive hard! Go! Go! Go! Turn the grotto-heavens and sacred grounds upside down. Our sect will stand proud and triumphant!"
"Don't worry, Martial Uncle Bai Gu has already started to prepare the 'Sky-Covering Array'. The moment the array formation is completed..."
The red-robed man looked very pleased when he saw that everyone was getting increasingly excited and motivated.
He suddenly gazed out of the valley.
As the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect, he had already reached the Saint stage and was exceptionally sensitive to his surroundings.
He could clearly feel something moving through the space-time continuum.
This meant that someone was traveling through space-time to come here! "We have an enemy attack! Who is in charge of the array formation for concealing our aura? How did we get uncovered?"
The face of the red-robed man turned grave. He still looked very calm, but his inner thoughts were in turmoil.
After all, they were just 100 miles away from the sect town, where the two sacred grounds, six grotto-heavens, and 12 blessed-lands were stationed. To normal people, 100 miles might be considered very far.
But to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, this distance could be covered within moments.
Don't tell me our plan has been exposed, and the sacred grounds' people have already discovered our location?
Things would not be so bad if it was only their location that had been uncovered. He was more worried about the other sects knowing about their plan and were closing in on them.
If so, they would be in deep trouble.
Don't be mistaken that this red-robed man was all that great. He might have already reached the Saint stage but was only at the lowest level of that realm.
They would be in grave danger if they were discovered and surrounded by the other sects.
The red-robed Sect Master and those black-robed members all fixed their eyes on the vibrating space, waiting vigilantly.
Finally, a crack opened in the space, and a youth in a white outfit appeared.
His hair was jet black, his brows thick and straight. He was very handsome and possessed an exceptionally refined and elegant bearing. He looked like a deity who had just descended from the heavens.
This man was really extraordinary. Even those Evil Spirit sect members couldn't help sighing at the sight of him.
How could there be such a gorgeous man in this world!?
Meanwhile, the handsome man emerged from the space.
He had a relieved smile on his face and looked like he was in a rather good mood.
But he soon felt the slew of eyes fixed upon him, all displaying a whole range of emotions, from "vigilance", "fear", and "murderous intent" to "astonishment", "entrancement", and "lasciviousness". The smile on his face stiffened the moment he noticed them.
Yes, this gorgeous man was Shen Tian.
Having already seen similar black robes on Hei Yuan and his cronies, Shen Tian instantly knew this bunch of people were not good folks.
One, two, three...
Shen Tian took a quick count and saw that there were more than 10 of these Evil Spirit practitioners.
And their auras were at the Nascent Soul stage and above. None of them were weak.
Even so, Shen Tian was not especially worried. After all, he could defeat a Nascent Soul Blood Demon when he was just at the Foundation Establishment stage.
A human at the Nascent Soul stage was smarter and more coordinated in battles than a Nascent Soul Blood Demon.
But don't forget that Shen Tian was already a Golden Body cultivator.
Shen Tian's battle prowess had increased by more than 10 ten times over the past half a month!
If he exhibited his full abilities, he could easily rank within the top 10 in the Golden Core List. He might even prove a threat to the top five and top three positions.
A normal Nascent Soul cultivator was no threat to him at all. He could settle them in just a couple of moves. But the problem was not all of these black-robed folks were ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Some were at the peak Nascent Soul stage, while a couple were already Heavenly Venerables at the Soul Formation stage.
Was a Heavenly Venerable at the Soul Formation stage someone who Shen Tian could easily defeat in one round?
He would need at least a few rounds!
Moreover, there was that fellow in those great red robes.
He had an aura that seemed to hold unfathomable depths. Shen Tian had no idea just how powerful he was.
There was no way Shen Tian could afford to provoke someone as powerful as that.
So it was true that when one's providence decreased, they would definitely encounter unlucky things.
Wrong move, wrong move! He had really made the wrong move this time!
Things were not looking good. Be prepared to run away!
While vigilantly looking at the Evil Spirit sect members, Shen Tian gave a small smile. "Made a wrong turn. Didn't mean to barge in. I didn't hear anything. Goodbye."
а
и
With that, Shen Tian turned lightly and strode out of the valley. His demeanor remained exceptionally refined and graceful.
A murderous glint flashed past the eyes of the red-robed Sect Master. "Since you are here, let us kill you!"
Damn, they were indeed Evil Spirit sect members! Killing someone, no questions asked? So scary!
The corners of Shen Tian's lips twitched. He ramped up his speed and fled out of the valley.
At the same time, he was desperately transmitting a message to Heavenly Venerable White Lotus on his Saint Token, calling for help.
I didn't give you the Nirvana Holy Liquid for nothing. Now that I am in trouble, Aunt-Master, you must save me!
The Evil Spirit sect members heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Shen Tian run away.
This proved that his appearance was not an ambush.
"Since you are here, don't go! This valley is surrounded by array formations. It is impossible to transmit any messages out of here."
A figure shot out of the group of black-robed people, straight toward Shen Tian.
"Haha, what a handsome young man. Come with me, and I will give you some proper training!" A coquettish voice sounded out from under those robes, hair-raising and spine-chilling. "Little cutie, I possess the Ecstasy Bliss Sutra, let's cultivate it together! I guarantee that you will be in euphoric paradise."

Chapter 233 Tian'er Is The Son Of Providence, He'll Be Fine!
At the teleportation circle of the sect town...
A white light shone, and figures appeared in the teleportation circle.
Qin Yundi, Qin Gao, Shen Ao, Xiao Ling, Liu Taiyi, Song Fugui, Zhao Hao, Liu Taiyi, Eunuch Gui, and others stood in one row. They were all in high spirits, emitting a powerful presence.
As compared to when they just entered the Primordial Battlefield, their strength had increased by more than just one or two times.
Their battle prowess had changed drastically, especially Shen Ao. He was originally just an ordinary true disciple in the Grand White Grotto-Heaven. Countless people like him had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage in the Grand White Grotto-Heaven, and nothing about him was special.
However, as he followed Shen Tian in this Primordial Battlefield Trial, he had obtained and used the Dragon Blood Grass and Sword Heart Fruit, allowing him to be completely reborn.
His physique, cultivation level, and talent for Sword Dao could be compared with most Eastern Wilderness geniuses.
Even if he was compared with the sacred grounds' true disciples, he would not lose in terms of his talent.
"We are Master Heavens Saint's followers. We must show our vigor and vitality. We cannot allow Master Heavens to lose face!"
Shopkeeper Song did not look young, but his face was flushed red from excitement too. He looked quite proud with his chess puffed up.
Who said that you couldn't turn stronger by buttering up to Master Heavens?
It's simply nonsense!
Can't you see that we have all improved by leaps and bounds by following Master Heavens and flattering him?
However, as compared to Master Heavens, our gains don't even hold a candle to him.
Master Heavens has even obtained the legendary peerless immortal artifact.
As expected of Master Heavens, he's definitely the Son of Providence favored by the Heavenly Dao!
Eh!?
Where's Master Heavens!
Where's our wise and mighty Master Heavens!?
After Shopkeeper Song and Liu Taiyi were teleported, they wanted to praise Shen Tian in front of all the sects. However, after they turned around, they did not see Shen Tian at all.
In an instant, they were stunned. Li Lian'er and the others were also stunned.
Everyone who had teleported with Shen Tian was stunned.
They had all activated the teleportation jade talisman and left the Primordial Battlefield.
Why had only Shen Tian disappeared when everyone returned to the town safely?
"The teleportation destination for Senior Brother must have deviated," said Qin Yundi calmly. "Such a situation would occur occasionally, but normally it would not be too far away."
As he spoke, Qin Yundi took out his personal disciple's token to try to contact Shen Tian.
However, shortly after, Qin Yundi widened his narrow eyes and revealed a solemn expression. "No, Senior Brother's Saint Token is uncontactable! There is only one possibility, the place he is in now blocks divine consciousness transmission!"
At that, Qin Yundi hurriedly rushed toward the residence where elders such as Heavenly Venerable White Lotus presided over.
"What!?"
"Tian'er has actually gone missing?" "He might be in danger, I'll go and find him!" The moment Qin Yundi delivered the news, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance stood up simultaneously.
The two of them spoke the exact same thing; not even one word was different.
They looked at each other; they both knew what the other was thinking. However, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance took out a white jade disc and said calmly, "Junior Brother Zi Yang, you'll stay in the sect town to coordinate everything, the other Supremacies above Nascent Soul stage, go and search for Shen Tian within a 500-mile radius, he must be found."
"Understood!"
No Nascent Soul cultivator talked back to Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance.
The reason was simple. Firstly, Scarlet Dance was a true peerless Heavenly Venerable as her cultivation level had already reached the peak of the Soul Formation stage.
In the cultivation world where the strong were respected, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's status was not something that could be compared to those normal Supremacies in the Nascent Soul stage.
Secondly, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's backing was the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, one of the top few sacred grounds in the Eastern Wilderness, whose strength was extraordinary.
What was more fearsome was that the Jade Lake Sacred Ground had countless peerless female cultivators.
It was unknown how many geniuses in the cultivation world would be proud if they could marry a female disciple from the Jade Lake Sacred Ground
In the past 10,000 years, the Jade Lake Sacred Ground disciples' connections forged through marriage were definitely the strongest.
It could be said that even provoking the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground was not as frightening as provoking Jade Lake Sacred Ground!
That was because without even needing the Jade Lake Sacred Ground to deal with the person, the Jade Lake Sacred Ground disciples' pursuer would ambush one until the said person started questioning life itself. Therefore, after receiving Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's order, almost all the Supremacies went to search for Shen Tian. The Supremacies' divine consciousnesses scanned areas within a few hundred miles radius with the sect town as the center.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus took out her Elder Token and started to contact the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
Toot
Toot
Toota
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader seemed to be cultivating, so he did not immediately answer the divine consciousness transmission. Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' face turned solemn. She performed some hand seals and said, "Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Martial Nephew Shen Tian has gone missing! Please reply as soon as possible after hearing this message."
Swoosh!
A light shone from her Elder Token, which represented that Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' divine consciousness voice transmission message had been sent. Just as Heavenly Venerable White Lotus wanted to keep her token and search for Shen Tian herself too, the token shone.
A figure enshrouded within lightning and heavenly aura appeared before Heavenly Venerable White Lotus. "Junior Sister, how did Tian'er disappear?"
That's right, that figure was the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!
Upon seeing the Sacred Leader's mysterious figure, engulfed in lightning and heavenly aura, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus bowed.
"Reporting to Senior Brother. According to Yundi and other disciples, Martial Nephew Shen Tian has gone missing due to a teleportation mistake after activating the teleportation token to return to the sect town.
"Yundi has tried sending a divine consciousness message to Martial Nephew Shen Tian, but to no avail. He should be within a space which blocks divine consciousness."
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus blamed herself. "It's because I did not take good care of Martial Nephew Shen Tian. Senior Brother, please punish me."
"Tian'er has gone missing once again?"
The lightning and heavenly aura around Sacred Leader swayed gently, but his voice was calm all along
He said calmly, "Junior Sister, there's no need for you to blame yourself. Tian'er is the Son of Providence. Since it's only an accident related to the teleportation, he will most likely not be in danger. He might even encounter some fortuitous opportunity. it might be a blessing in disguise."
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus seemed to be in deep thought. "Then Senior Brother, you mean we don't need to specially search for him?"
The Sacred Leader shook his head. "Of course not! If we don't search for him after he goes missing, then how disappointed would Tian'er be?
"Not only do we need to search, but the more worried and anxious we seem, the more Tian'er will feel that he's being cared for.
"I'll let Yunfeng head there immediately to search for Tian'er in the surrounding countries near the Primordial Battlefield.
"We must let Tian'er feel that our sect is an extremely warm family!"
After listening to the Sacred Leader's detailed analysis, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked at him with admiration. "As expected of Senior Brother, you're indeed very thoughtful."
The Sacred Leader nodded. "Alright, let's end the transmission if there's nothing else!" The Sacred Leader's voice gradually disappeared.
Right before the transmission was completely cut off, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus seemed to have heard a faint peal of laughter.
It might be her imagination.
"Yeap, I should listen to Senior Brother!"
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was no longer worried, but she looked extremely anxious. "All Divine Firmament disciples, head out and find Tian'er!"
In an instant, the whole sect town had become busy because of Shen Tian's disappearance.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian was currently extremely troubled. He was now trapped within a pink fog, which had powerful illusory effects.
Shen Tian felt as if his whole body was heating up.
A powerful urge started to surge from within him—the Nan Ming Li Fire within him was burning!
However, he did not lose himself in the fog as the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk dispersed all the illusions.
Currently, the reason Shen Tian's eyes were hazy was simple—it was to make the Evil Spirit Sect's powerful cultivators lower their guard. After all, he was seemingly a Foundation Establishment and Golden Body cultivator. The cultivation levels of any Evil Spirit Sect cultivator was higher than his.
In such a situation, those from the Evil Spirit Sect would most likely capture him and then casually arrange for someone to keep watch.
Shen Tian would naturally be able to think of a way to escape by catching them by surprise. This was what Shen Tian had planned in his mind, but it was a pity that many things in the world would not go according to one's plans.
When the pink fog completely entranced him, a graceful woman in a long black robe appeared in front of Shen Tian slowly. A hair-raising and spine-chilling voice sounded again.
"Hehehe, such a handsome man. Only such a handsome man is perfect for me to suck him dry of his cultivation level, but I can't bear to suck him dry in one go. I'll use my best herbs to nourish him so that I can enjoy him after he grows stronger!"
The graceful woman got closer to Shen Tian, wanting to kiss him.
However, at that moment, Shen Tian's eyes, which were originally in a daze, suddenly focused and widened.
A silvery-white liquid instantly engulfed his right fist, and he heavily punched at that graceful woman.
Bang!
It was such a frightening punch that even space was distorted and broke apart.
"What!? You're actually not entranced by the Blissful Fog?"
Although she was flabbergasted, she hurriedly took out a Dharma artifact to block his attack. It was a pity that the short stick, which was barely an inferior-grade spirit artifact, could not block Shen Tian's invincible punch.
Crack!
A crack started spreading throughout the surface of the short stick at a speed that naked eyes could discern. The short stick fell apart completely within a short moment.
"Damn bast*rd, you actually destroyed my treasure!"
That graceful woman's voice instantly turned sharp and full of resentment. "I'm going to suck you dry 100... No, 1,000 times!"
Meanwhile, Shen Tian's flustered and exasperated voice rebutted, "Just you? I can suck you dry in just one shot! Don't put your bearded pumpkin face in front of me. It's disgusting!" Honestly speaking, now that he was trapped within enemy territory, Shen Tian originally did not mind pretending to be weak to take a wait-and-see approach. If his luck was good, he might even hear some secrets.
Nonetheless, that did not mean he could endure the notion of a pumpkin-faced person full of beard wanting to kiss him.
Shen Tian felt that if he really let this abomination kiss him, he would be unable to eat for three months!
Though, could she really find someone to undergo dual cultivation with such an appearance?
Shen Tian did not care whether he was exposing his true strength. He was no longer going to pretend! He was going to show his aces up his sleeve!
I do not mean to direct it at you, but all present here are pieces of trash!
"First Essence Punch!"
"Down you go!"

Chapter 234 Divine Firmament Saint VS Evil Spirit Sect Master
Shen Tian snorted as he struck out with a fist covered in First Essence Heavy Water. The surging Godfiend Energy mixed with the First Essence Heavy Water made the water even more powerful.
The face of that foolish Evil Spirit sect member immediately changed as he hurriedly formed a black and evil-looking flower with a Dharma technique.
The flower exuded a thick demonic aura, and one could hear faint screaming voices from the petals. It was clearly not an orthodox Dharma technique.
Shen Tian could clearly feel the evil and bizarre Dharma technique behind this black flower, but he didn't mind as he could smash the entire thing with pure physical power.
Shen Tian's fist was not at all encumbered by that flower. He smashed the flower into bits.
Following that, his fist made contact with that Evil Spirit sect member's chest, sending him flying several meters through the air.
The mighty force of that one punch was just mind-blowing!
All the Evil Spirit sect members were thunderstruck.
"Young man, I have underestimated you." The red-robed Sect Master smiled. "Did you call yourself a Saint earlier?" "Only the Jade Lake Sacred Ground and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground are in the Primordial Battlefield now. And the Jade Lake Sacred Ground has no Saint. So you must be the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian?"
The red-robed Sect Master sized up Shen Tian and clapped his hands lightly. "I heard that not only is the Divine Firmament Saint extremely talented and brave, but he also possesses a face that could make Fairies and Saintesses go crazy. "'I didn't believe those rumors, but now that I have met you, I stand corrected. "Shen Tian, your looks are not at all inferior to mine when I was younger."
Silence!
Silence descended upon the entire valley! Those black-robed members stared at the red-robed Sect Master with peculiar expressions.
As for Shen Tian, he kept retreating quietly, heading out of the valley.
The red-robed Sect Master continued calmly. "Ahem. No need to think about fleeing. You won't get any chance. Shen Tian, let's make a deal, how about that?" Shen Tian was taken aback. "Deal? What deal?"
The red-robed Sect Master smiled. "I hope that you can join my sect. If you are willing, I can personally take you as my disciple.
"Given your talent, providence, and good looks, coupled with my teachings and guidance, it will not be difficult for you to become the Saint of this sect.
"You should know that the Saint of our sect has greater authority and power than the Saints of those sacred grounds. Think about it!"
The Evil Spirit Sect wants me to join their sect? Shen Tian was completely stunned. Do I look like some criminal evil-doer?
"Thank you, Sect Master, for your praise. Unfortunately, I cannot accept. I just remembered that I put out my clothes to dry at home and forgot to bring them back in. Goodbye."
With that, the Crimson Phoenix Lightning Armor suddenly appeared on Shen Tian's body, and he shot toward the outside of the valley in a red flash.
"Haha, how good it is to be young."
The red-robed Sect Master smiled. "Unfortunately, you don't have the final say over whether you join our sect.
"You have such great potential. If I can take you into my sect, it will be very beneficial to our future development.
"Hei Tian, Hei Xuan, please ask the Divine Firmament Saint to stay behind! I need to have a nice, long chat with him and persuade him to join our sect."
With that, the red-robed Sect Master calmly sat down on a chair, gazing after Shen Tian with an admiring expression. As if... he was waiting to see if Shen Tian could come up with any tricks.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Two of the black-robed members with the strongest auras stepped out of the group. They were enveloped in a black mist.
The two of them dashed out toward Shen Tian with malicious smiles.
After transforming into balls of black mist, they soon caught up with Shen Tian. The mist transformed into a massive palm, blocking his way. "Please stay behind for the Sect Master!" Both of them were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and were just half a step away from reaching the Soul Formation stage. Moreover, they were combining forces.
The force exuded by that mighty palm was enough to make even a Soul Formation stage cultivator sit up in attention.
Shen Tian knew that there was no way he could withstand that force.
"Why are you forcing me? Why are you forcing me?" Shen Tian took out a golden token with a heartbroken expression. "Why are you forcing me to annihilate you all?".
This was the special token that his Master had given him to use only in extreme emergency cases. But it could only be used three times! Shen Tian gnashed his teeth as he activated the Saint Token.
Boom!
Countless rays of divine light shot out of the Saint Token, engulfing the entire area with a mighty and powerful aura.
are
A great avatar appeared in the valley, a book in his left hand and a sword in his right. It exuded a lightning and heavenly aura.
Faced with the massive palm coming for Shen Tian, the avatar struck out with his divine sword.
Storm clouds swirled in the sky, lit up by countless lightning bolts, which then accumulated on the avatar's sword.
Rumble~
Rumble, rumble, rumble
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble
The silver sword turned purple as lightning continued to gather around it.
A massive lightning sword had now formed in the black valley. It lit up the entire place.
"Deities exude their dominance, leading with their swords!"
The avatar called out, his voice full of undeniable authority. It was like he was dishing out punishment on behalf of the heavens.
The faces of those Evil spirit Sect members instantly paled at the sight of that avatar. They were instinctively suppressed by this mighty force, especially Hei Tian and Hei Xuan, who were directly in front of that avatar. Their black mist had already dissipated as they stood shivering in fear.
If they had no reinforcements, it would be certain death for them under such an attack.
After all, the power of lightning and all Heavenly Dao moves were especially effective against evil and demonic techniques.
"Zhang Longyuan is rather generous, after all. Vicious!"
The red-robed Sect Master's face changed. He was a Saint who had undergone one tribulation and did not fear this attack by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's avatar.
But even though he did not fear it, his underlings might not survive this attack.
If he didn't help them, none of the Evil Spirit sect members would be able to come out of this attack in one piece.
"Blood Skeleton Palm Print!"
A withered palm emerged from under the red-robes.
This hand was extremely bony and shriveled. There was barely any flesh or veins on it. But a curious blood-red color and strange pattern covered the palm.
He suddenly struck that palm toward the Sacred Leader's avatar wielding the long lightning sword. A massive palm print appeared in the sky.
It was a blood-red skeleton palm print that exuded an extremely evil and malevolent aura.
The sight of this blood-red palm print was like watching a tsunami of bloody corpses.
The earth shook when the divine lightning sword clashed with the blood-red palm print.
A terrifying aftershock spread out for miles. Anyone within a thousand miles could feel its impact.
"Looks like I can't hide anymore!"
The red-robed Sect Master's face was solemn. "Since you forced my hand, don't blame me for accelerating matters. "Don't think that just because your own sect elders were alerted by that aftershock, they will be able to come and save you. You have no idea how powerful I am!
"I will have you tied up neatly and dragged away from this place before they arrive!"
After taking a deep breath, the red-robed Sect Master suddenly shook his sleeves.
In the blink of an eye, all the dust in the valley dispersed.
The spot where Shen Tian was standing-it was just empty air now.
The red-robed Sect Master, "???"
The red-robed Sect Master, "!!!"
The red-robed Sect Master, "!?!?!?"
"I never expected you to know such a marvelous ground-burrowing skill!"
The red-robed Sect Master cleared his throat. "A pity that I have already locked onto your aura. I can dig you out, no matter how deep you burrow!"
The red-robed Sect Master had just finished his sentence when the aura, which he had felt rapidly burrowing into the ground, suddenly disappeared. A stunned silence descended across the entire valley.
Everyone felt like they heard something.
Smack!
Smack, smack!
Smack, smack, smack!
Yes, the sound of a face being slapped!
"How could it be? How did this fellow manage to escape my sights?" The red-robed Sect Master felt a burning pain on his face. This shouldn't be happening! This was just not... scientifically possible!
It must be pointed out that he was at the Saint stage. Although he was only at the first level, just being at the Saint stage itself was a feat.
To a cultivator at the Saint stage, everyone below them was as insignificant as ants.
Even someone at the Soul Formation stage could not possibly hide their aura from him.
Shen Tian was just at the Golden Body realm. How did he manage to do that?
It was like an ant had just bitten you, and you were about to squash it to death with your finger, but you suddenly discovered that the ant had disappeared right before your eyes.
Utterly unbelievable!
The face of the red-robed Sect Master really ached!
"Do you think you can escape my clutches just because you know some special aura-concealing technique? You can run, but you can't hide. I will go to the sect town now and destroy your people. Let's see if you come out then!"
A staggering aura radiated from the body of the red-robed Sect Master-violent, bloodthirsty, malevolent, raging!
When cultivating evil arts, one cultivated using the blood essence, souls, and malevolent energy of living creatures. In this way, one could improve at a more rapid pace. But it was also easier for the minds of these cultivators to go haywire.
As a result, all Evil Spirit sect cultivators were bad-tempered, paranoid, and perverse.
Sometimes, they might even go all kamikaze on you.
At this point, the killing intent radiating from the red-robed Sect Master had pierced the clouds in the sky.
Countless living creatures within a radius of 100 miles quivered in fear when they felt that surging bloodthirsty force.
No one doubted the words of the red-robed Sect Master. He did have the ability to massacre the entire sect town, especially when no other sacred ground Saints were around.
But that would incense the Jade Lake and Divine Firmament Sacred Grounds and motivate countless cultivators to come in pursuit of them.
"I will kill you all, take back the array flags, and save our Lord Sacred Spirit. By then, so what if your own master returns?"
The red-robed Sect Master gave a chilly smile as he walked toward the sect town. He moved deliberately as if purposely tormenting Shen Tian and making him feel guilty.
"I didn't intend to do something so radical. You forced my hand. They are all going to die because of you.
"And don't bother trying to contact the Saints from your sacred ground. The sect town is too far away.
"Even if Zhang Longyuan rushes over upon receiving the news, he will need at least a minute to arrive.
"And one minute is already enough for me to flood the entire sect town with blood three times over!"
The red-robed Sect Master bragged casually as he walked as if massacres were something mundane to him.
"How about it? Are you willing to join me? As long as you join our sect, I will spare your people." The red-robed Sect Master smiled. "Think about it!"
The smile on the face of the red-robed Sect Master deepened as he neared the sect town.
This was because he could feel the reappearance of an aura from underground. And it was coming at top-speed.
Boom! The earth split open, and Shen Tian stood there with his golden wings, staring in exasperation at the red-robed Sect Master. He had a pained expression on his face.
"I say, couldn't you just be a good boy and keep your life? Why do you have to force me to destroy you?"
To be honest, Shen Tian had been prepared to just sneak off, but this red-robed Sect Master just couldn't let things go.
He was even ranting about flooding the sect town with blood? Did he know how many friends Shen Tian had in the sect town?
Shen Tian couldn't bear the loss of even one!
You are already a respected and formidable Saint cultivator. Why do you have to challenge me?
We are such different people. Wasn't it better for us to part ways?
Why did you have to stir up so much trouble!?
"Destroy me?" The red-robed Sect Master snorted at Shen Tian's audacious claim. "I do want to see how you intend to destroy me."
At this moment, the red-robed Sect Master was floating in mid-air, exuding a terrifying aura toward Shen Tian.
The atmosphere seemed to grow thick and heavy as a murderous aura filled the air.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
A miniature purple pagoda spun continuously upon Shen Tian's dantian.
The pagoda emitted a faint purple lightbeautiful and dreadful!

Chapter 235 Have I Been Too Idle?
An angry holler suddenly resonated across the skies.
"How dare you! Which evil demon dares to hurt my Martial Nephew Shen Tian?"
A dazzling silver light shot over.
This divine light froze everything it came into contact with, even space itself. It was as if it possessed all the cold power in the world.
"Jade Lake Sacred Ground's divine artifact, the Jade Mirror?"
The face of the red-robed Sect Master froze. A blood-red screen surrounded his body to meet the silver light.
Crack!
The moment the blood-red screen met the silver divine light, the entire screen froze before slowly cracking.
Shen Tian felt like the entire space around him was being distorted. Two figures had already appeared before him.
"Tian'er, don't be afraid. We are here. This scoundrel will not be able to hurt you!"
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus stood side by side in front of Shen Tian, protecting him.
The two of them gazed solemnly at the red-robed Sect Master. "The Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect? How dare you barge into the Primordial Battlefield?"
The red-robed Sect Master looked calmly at Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus.
"Didn't expect you two to arrive so quickly.
"A pity that you are both too weak. Neither of you is a match for me!
"Also, before I made my move earlier, I already used a technique to seal off this entire area within 1,000 miles.
"Unless you already contacted the Saints from your sects before I used the sealing technique, no one will know what is happening." The red-robed Sect Master smiled smugly.
"And even if you managed to contact them before coming, it would still be too late.
"With my powers, I can immediately annihilate you all with just the flip of my palm!"
The red-robed Sect Master cackled maliciously. He suddenly executed some hand seals.
At that moment, countless white bones emerged from the ground, creating a forest of white bones. Every single bone was extremely sharp and shimmering in the light. The bones were so sharp that they were making cuts along space.
"White Bone World, rise!"
The red-robed Sect Master called out in a cold voice as countless white bones shot straight at Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, and Shen Tian.
It was clear that this was an extremely high-level Dharma technique.
These white bones all had the ability to penetrate the body of even a peak Soul Formation practitioner.
As high-level as Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus were, both would suffer serious injuries if those bones hit them.
"Brilliant Jade Moon!"
"Blooming White Lotus!"
The faces of Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus shifted as they quickly activated their own protection weapons.
A pristine white mirror and a pure white 7th Stage lotus floated above their heads.
The items emitted a faint glow, which formed a double-layered barrier to shield Shen Tian against those white bones.
Countless white bones collided continuously against the barrier, depleting its energy.
Nevertheless, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus constantly infused their strength into the barrier, replenishing its power.
For the moment, there was really nothing he could do to this trio.
"The sacred grounds are indeed very generous. Even cultivators at the Soul Formation stage can each possess one Divine artifact. So envious." The red-robed Sect Master looked rather pleased. "A pity for you that these two Divine artifacts will belong to me from now
on!"
A dark-red light shone within the red-robed Sect Master's hand.
A blood-red pearl appeared, glowing softly.
After this pearl appeared, the originally white bone forest instantly turned a blood-red color.
Swoosh!
A blood-red bone shot toward Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, forcing its way through the double-layered light barrier.
Luckily, the bone's power was significantly decreased after penetrating the barrier and was easily blocked.
But this was just the start. This was because even more blood-red bones were flying straight at them now.
Countless blood-red bones shot at Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, causing micro-tears across space as they flew.
"This is the Seven Killing Pearl, the great evil weapon of the Evil Spirit Sect. We are not his match. Hurry up, take Tian'er with you and leave!"
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus emitted a heavenly aura. One could see the Spirit Qi transforming into fluttering butterflies.
She suddenly performed some hand seals, prepared to stop the red-robed Sect Master at all costs.
"I have heard that Heavenly Venerable White Lotus is one of the best alchemists in the Eastern Wilderness. Why do you insist on becoming my enemy?"
The red-robed Sect Master smirked. "I already said that as long as no Saint comes to save you, even if you guys put in your best effort, it will be like an ant trying to stop a chariot!
"Never mind, I am tired of playing around!"
The red-robed Sect Master clenched his right hand, and a blood-red bone spear appeared. He waved the bone spear, and it enlarged by a thousand times, morphing into a massive weapon.
As the bone spear descended, it created massive tears across space. The aura of the bone spear suppressed the trio completely, such that they were unable to escape.
Old Man Ye, prepare to make your attack!
Shen Tian sighed in resignation as he intoned silently.
He would have to expend a lot of resources to activate the God of War Pagoda, but this was a life-and-death situation. Everything else would have to take a backseat. Shen Tian was not the kind of person who would just stand by and watch others die, especially if these people had come just to save him!
At that point, Ye Qingcang's laughter echoed in his mind.
"No need to be so anxious. It's not time for me to make my move yet!"
The blood-red bone spear was still descending. The tears in space spread out and were nearly reaching Shen Tian.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus both had resolute expressions. They looked like they had decided to protect Shen Tian at all costs.
After all, Tian'er was 'their' disciple!
Surprisingly, the massive blood-red spear suddenly stopped. The tears in space also stopped spreading, while the bones in the area all turned to dust.
A mild voice resonated across the sky.
"Have I been too idle? Or have you little punks become too audacious? It has been a few hundred years since I have sought out you punks, but you dare to take the initiative to attack my people now?"
Cracks appeared on the massive blood-red bone spear, spreading rapidly.
An old Taoist priest suddenly appeared. He was wearing a Taoist robe, with a full head of snow-white hair and rosy cheeks. His arms were relatively muscular, and he exuded a fierce and vigorous aura.
The old Taoist priest smashed the bone spear with his right fist. The spear cracked into pieces under the terrifying force.
"Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus?"
The red-robed Sect Master's face stiffened upon gazing at the old Taoist priest.
The younger generation might not know how terrifying this old Taoist priest was, but the red-robed Sect Master was from the earlier generation.
He was well aware of how perverse and powerful this guy was more than anyone else.
This fellow had killed his own master! Even though his cultivation level had been lower!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had also lost all his powers then and had to start cultivating all over again. But many years had passed, and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had once again returned to the Heavenly Venerable stage. On top of that, he was a Godfiend Heavenly Venerable.
Even though he was a Saint, the red-robed Sect Master was not confident of winning.
Fear crept across the red-robed Sect Master's heart, while Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance both heaved a sigh of relief, especially Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance.
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
Did Senior Brother Chu just say that I am his people? That I belong to him?
Hehe, we are already so old. How can he still say such things?
And in front of the children! Shameless!
"First Senior Brother has arrived just in time. Don't let this evil sect leader escape!"
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was a kind-hearted soul. She majored in the cultivation of elixirs and pills and often descended the mountains to save the ill and weak.
Faced with the red-robed Sect Master's "White Bone World" technique, she could clearly feel it harbored a limitless amount of resentment energy. It was obvious that this Dharma treasure was not an orthodox weapon. It had been forged from the sacrificial blood of countless living creatures.
As gentle as Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was, she was now filled with a killing intent toward the red-robed Sect Master.
Of course, it was not because First Senior Brother had come instead of Second Senior Brother. She was definitely not venting her anger on the red-robed Sect Master because of that.
Heavenly Venerable Chu Longhe nodded. "Don't worry. This punk dared to attack my Martial Nephew, so there's no way I will show mercy!"
With that, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus patted Shen Tian on the shoulders. His face was full of fatherly love. "Tian'er, stand to the side with your two Aunt-Masters. Just watch as I avenge you!"
Shen Tian could feel that this Azure Lotus felt different from the Azure Lotus he had met previously.
But Shen Tian obediently stood to the side. After all, why waste his own resources to settle this when his senior was offering to do so?
This young man entered the Primordial Battlefield and gained great fortuitous opportunities. He even got his hands on the Feather Immortal Metal, ranked 8th on the Immortal Metal List!
Also, I can feel the Five Elements energy circulating vigorously inside his body. His foundation is solid beyond belief.
Hmph, he must have gained quite a bit in the Primordial Battlefield. I must find some way to take a share!
I will take this opportunity to foster some master-disciple ties with this young man!
As a million thoughts crossed the mind of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, he slowly drew out the long rod behind him.
A flaming aura, even more powerful than his previous one, surged throughout his entire body. His muscles started to expand.
The Taoist robe was being stretched to the maximum, and one could clearly see his muscles' outline against the cloth. Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance blushed at the sight.
"Evil Spirit Sect Master, time for you to die!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus charged toward the red-robed Sect Master with a golden rod in his right hand.
An intense and incredible force could be felt the moment he struck out with the rod.
The air around the rod turned to dust, and black cracks along the space followed the old Taoist priest as he charged toward the Sect Master.
"Scoundrel, I am a Saint while you are just an ant who has yet to enter the Saint stage. How can I possibly be defeated by you?"
A sliver of panic surfaced in the eyes of the red-robed Sect Master, but he refused to show any fear.
After all, his disciples were still in the valley!
He calmly infused the Seven Killing Pearl with more blood. The pearl glowed even more brightly. A bone spear in an even deeper shade of red was formed. A bizarre dark pattern covered the spear, making it look rather demonic. "Kill the skies, the earth, the deities, Buddha, ghosts, demons, all living things. Kill all seven!"
The hair of the red-robed Sect Master flew around wildly as he was engulfed in a blood-red river. His aura surged out like a wave.
He struck out with the spear, which morphed into hundreds of thousands of spear projections, cutting off Heavenly Venerable Chu Longhe completely.
Although he was faced with an opponent who was at a lower level than him, he did not dare to underestimate him.
He was launching an all-out attack!

Chapter 236 Is Martial Uncle Really Gravely Injured?
The red-robed Sect Master had sacrificed his own blood to launch his most powerful attack.
Each of those all-encompassing spear projections had enough power to kill a normal Soul Formation cultivator.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance looked worried as she watched the old Taoist priest battle the red-robed Sect Master. "Stay strong."
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was desperately trying to use her token to contact the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. After all, this red-robed Sect Master was a powerful cultivator who had undergone a tribulation.
Although Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had once killed a Saint while he was still in the Soul Formation stage, he had done it by self-detonating. Moreover, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had been a Qi Refinement cultivator.
After switching to focus on cultivating the body, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus seldom launched direct, all-out attacks during battle. He usually relied on sneak attacks and hidden trump cards. Even those brothers in his own sect had no idea what Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' true powers were.
Now that he was finally going to show his hand, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus immediately contacted the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
But she realized that the area was in complete lockdown.
She was unable to contact the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader using her token. They were totally cut off.
"What a powerful spear attack. I have underestimated you."
A cry of pain rang out at that moment. The blood-red spear had struck Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's left shoulder.
Golden blood seeped out of the wound, dyeing his Taoist robe a gold color. It made him look rather brave and heroic.
"Evil creature, even if I die today, I will never let you harm even a single hair on my Tian'er!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus hollered and grabbed that blood-red spear. His right fist suddenly magnified by 10 times.
Smack!
He smacked the red-robed Sect Master with a heavy palm.
The red-robed Sect Master was protected by his blood-red barrier, which vibrated intensely under that attack.
"It didn't break?"
The red-robed Sect Master was taken aback by the powerful energy colliding with his blood-red barrier.
He then gave a malicious smile.
"Haha, so your current power is only at this level now?
"Chu Longhe, your era is over! Given your current power, you are no longer that exceptional prodigy at the Soul Formation stage!
"Time to wake up!"
The red-robed Sect Master snorted.
"I will destroy you today, to avenge my Master! Our leader will definitely give me a great reward after I bring your head back to him. Meet your doom!"
With that, the spear in the red-robed Sect Master's hand glowed, and multiple spears shot toward Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus like a wild rainstorm.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was still bleeding, but he showed no fear. He waved his golden rod and resolutely battled the blood-red spears. He looked extremely heroic and noble.
The eyes of Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance were already filled with hot tears. "Senior Brother Chu is once again battling a Saint to the death in order to save me. I am just a burden to Senior Brother!"
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance gnashed her teeth and charged into the battle fray. She stood side by side with Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to fight the red-robed Sect Master together.
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' eyes grew solemn. She quickly formed some hand seals and directed a ray toward Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
It was the secret healing "Great Rejuvenation" technique. It could heal a cultivator's injuries and replenish their vitality.
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was not good at fighting, and this was the best way for her to contribute.
"Is this still the Martial Uncle whom I used to know?" Shen Tian couldn't help muttering to himself as he looked at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, who was drenched in blood and fighting valiantly. But Ye Qingcang's disapproving voice echoed in his mind.
"This scoundrel. It has been 1,000 years, but he hasn't changed at all. He is still so thick-skinned. Don't be fooled by this scoundrel. He is very sly!"
Don't be fooled by this scoundrel?
Shen Tian had no idea what he meant.
At that moment, the red-robed Sect Master saw an opportunity and struck the blood-red spear right at Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's throat.
The spear moved at a high velocity, fierce and vicious.
Intense blood-red energy restrained Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance, such that she was unable to escape.
The blood-red spear would be piercing right into Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's throat any moment now.
But Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus suddenly appeared before Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance.
He grabbed the tip of the spear with an enlarged left hand. Fresh blood gushed out as the sharp blade cut his hand.
The blood-red bone spear gradually came to a stop, but not before piercing into Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's right shoulder. He was picked up and flung several hundred meters across the air.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's eyes turned red, while the red-robed Sect Master looked very smug.
"Your era is over. It's time you realized this, Chu Longhe!"
The red-robed Sect Master was in high spirits. He felt like he had launched a new era.
However, Chu Longhe suddenly reached out his right hand and struck the red-robed Sect Master on the head with his rod.
Duang!
The red-robed Sect Master felt a wave of dizziness as if the sky was spinning around him.
His barrier had not been configured to block such physical blows.
This fellow purposely endured my spear attack!
The face of the red-robed Sect Master suddenly changed. He quickly tried to retreat.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The rod attacked him from all directions like a wild thunderstorm.
The red-robed Sect Master was beaten until he was staggering and saw stars. There was no way he could defend against the blows.
Intense pain spread across his entire body, making him feel like life was not worth living anymore.
"Evil creature, how dare you hurt my Senior Brother!"
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance cried out in rage, and bone-chilling energy engulfed the red-robed Sect Master.
Completely frozen like a statue, the red-robed Sect Master plummeted from the sky, creating a huge hole in the ground.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable Chu Longhe looked as if he had lost all energy and started to collapse. "Senior Brother, are you alright? Don't scare me!"
"It's all my fault. You wouldn't have been injured if you hadn't tried to save me!"
Hot tears gushed out of Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's eyes as she caught Chu Longhe into her arms, spinning 720 degrees as they drifted to the floor.
Following that, she took out all sorts of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground's elixirs and pills and stuffed them all into Chu Longhe's mouth with wild abandon.
"Senior Brother, nothing can happen to you. I won't be able to live on if anything happens to you!"
Chu Longhe shot Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance an exasperated look.
se
"Fairy, you misunderstand. I stepped up this time mainly because I wanted to save Tian'er. Saving you was just an afterthought. Please stop imagining things." With that, Chu Longhe struggled out of Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's embrace and staggered toward Shen Tian. Pale as a sheet, he forced a smile. "Tian'er, you saw my awesome and almighty battle. Was I impressive, or what?
"This is the battle prowess of the cultivators that choose to refine their physical bodies with the Tinder Sutra. Even a battle with a higher-level opponent would be a piece of cake to you!
"How about it? Do you wish to learn? If you beg me, I might reluctantly decide to teach..."
Chu Longhe collapsed in front of Shen Tian before he could complete his sentence.
At the same time, his aura declined significantly
Shen Tian's face changed. He quickly took some Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring and poured it into Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's mouth.
"It's useless. Don't waste any more Nirvana Holy Liquid."
The pale-faced old Taoist priest swallowed the liquid. "My inner organs are already smashed to a pulp by that evil creature's spear. I don't have much longer to live. Unless you have over 500L of Nirvana Holy Liquid, there is no way you can heal me."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus gazed benevolently at Shen Tian.
"Tian'er, to be honest, I like you a lot.
"From the first moment I met you, I already wanted to take you in as my disciple.
"But Second Junior Brother made the first move and had you become his disciple. Anyway, his cultivation level is also higher than mine.
"So... cough, cough... My injuries are worsening. Looks like I won't be able to hold on much longer. Tian'er, you don't need to waste your efforts."
After finishing the last drop of the 5L bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shook his head. "Before I die, I only have one final wish. Tian'er, can you promise me that?"
Shen Tian sighed. "Martial Uncle, you suffered such grave injuries. Stop trying to speak and just finish this holy liquid! "It's just 500L! You got injured because you tried to save me. It is my responsibility to give you this 500L."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus licked his lips. "How... How can I accept this? You only have about 1,000 to 1,500L worth of Nirvana Holy Liquid. And you risked your life to get it.
"As... As your senior, how can I take advantage of you like that?
"If you really want to do something for me, can you acknowledge me before I die...
"Acknowledge me as your Master so that I can pass on my legacy skills to you?"
"If so, even if I die now, my soul can rest in peace.
Acknowledge him as my Master before he dies?
Shen Tian was taken aback by Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's request.
I can easily save his life. Why is Martial Uncle Azure Lotus seeking death?
500L of Nirvana Holy Liquid might not be a small amount, but... it was not that much either!
Shen Tian was really confused.
Meanwhile, cracks were rapidly appearing on the frozen red-robed Sect Master.
"Chu Longhe, have you reached your limit? In that case, time to die!"
Bang! The ice burst open, and the red-robed Sect Master's pale face was revealed. It appeared like he had suffered rather serious injuries, but he was all the more dangerous now because of this. The killing intent on his face was fervent.
The red-robed Sect Master suddenly flung the blood-red spear out at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Shen Tian, and the rest.
"Old Man Ye, we are going to die if you still refuse to make a move."
Desperate, Shen Tian communicated silently with Ye Qingcang. But Ye Qingcang remained unperturbed.
He chuckled. "You are a good kid but too inexperienced. You can't see the true colors of others. Don't be so anxious!"
The spear was coming closer and closer by the moment.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus joined hands to block against it but were forced back several meters by the spear's force.
The spear was about to make contact with Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and Shen Tian.
Shen Tian had already given up on that unreliable Ye Qingcang. He was prepared to activate the Saint Token and fight with his Executing Heaven Sword.
At that moment, an angry holler sounded out from behind.
"Stupid Evil Spirit Sect fella! Couldn't you have just remained frozen? Or why couldn't you have just run away after escaping the seal? "Why must you disrupt my plans? Don't you.. cherish your life?"
Shen Tian turned in shock to see the pale-faced Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. The aura radiating from Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was terrifying beyond belief!
So terrifying that Shen Tian couldn't help suspecting... Martial Uncle... Is he really gravely injured!?

Chapter 237 It Was Terminal Lucidity!
The red-robed Sect Master was stunned by the surging aura radiated by the old Taoist priest.
What the hell?
What is happening?
Wasn't Azure Lotus on the verge of death just now?
How did this fellow suddenly recover so quickly just when I broke the seal?
Could this be the so-called terminal lucidity?
Mmm, it must be terminal lucidity! He's just trying to scare me!
The red-robed Sect Master gave a cold smile.
"Haha, do you think you can fool me? You were struck by my Seven Killing Blood Spear twice, and its power has already destroyed your body. How can you possibly be fine?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was tapping his rod and walking slowly toward the red-robed Sect Master. "It's not important whether I am fine. You are the one in trouble now."
"Ultimate Seven Kill!!!"
The red-robed Sect Master's face hardened as a massive spear appeared.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus sneered. "Too slow!"
He morphed into a shadow and disappeared on the spot. His aura was completely undetectable now. It was like Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had totally disappeared from this world.
"Evil creature, take that!"
A sudden roar sounded out behind the red-robed Sect Master. Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had reappeared.
The golden rod in his hand swooshed down toward the red-robed Sect Master.
Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Every single swing was a heavy strike against the blood-red spear in the red-robed Sect Master's hands.
The Sect Master felt like a raging bull was pounding him.
Was this really terminal lucidity?
But this was too much now! Who would behave like such a mad bull during their terminal lucidity!?
A sense of foreboding rose in the red-robed Sect Master's heart. He felt like he had made a mistake somewhere.
"Enjoy my Divine Firmament Dog-Beating Rod!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shouted as the golden rod in his hand moved even faster. He shattered the red-robed Sect Master's spear array.
Suddenly, the ferocity of the rod was all unleashed on the body of the red-robed Sect Master.
Every single stroke tore through space with terrifying power.
Every single strike caused the Sect Master to question his life.
He realized that he was completely unable to fend against Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' rod.
He was utterly defeated under the attacks of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's swinging rod.
The red-robed Sacred Leader spat out a mouthful of blood. "Scoundrel! I am a Saint! How dare you—"
Before he could complete his sentence, the glowing golden rod landed heavily on his face, sending him flying off in the air.
"Saint? Haha, what a weak Saint!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus raised his rod against and smashed it against the Sect Master's mouth, crushing nearly half his teeth.
Following that, he performed a series of high-speed movements with the rod, beating the Sect Master senseless.
"He is indeed Senior Brother Chu. It has been so many years, but he remains so powerful. I must work hard to catch up to him."
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance gazed adoringly at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. She activated her Jade Mirror to record the scene.
This was a rare chance to observe Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' dashing fighting style.
"A Godfiend cultivator can suppress a Qi Refinement Saint cultivator. Senior Brother has hidden his true power too well."
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was also amazed. She was his junior sister but also had no idea of his true power.
But actually, they were not that shocked. This was not the first time Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had defeated someone of a higher cultivation level.
"Scoundrel!
"Chu Longhe, I will remember how you shamed me today.
"After I cultivate successfully in the future, I will come back to seek vengeance!"
The red-robed Sect Master looked angry and ashamed. He suddenly tossed the blood-red pearl at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, which instantly enlarged.
At the same time, cracks appeared on the surface of the pearl. It was like it would explode any moment now.
Yes, the red-robed Sect Master was going to detonate his own Divine artifact!
Faced with Chu Longhe, who was below the Saint stage, he was actually being forced to detonate his Divine artifact and flee.
No Saint would be able to endure such an embarrassment.
But the red-robed Sect Master was not trying to be a hero. He swallowed his pride and anger. After all, where there was life, there was hope. There was only hope for victory if one was alive.
Boom!
The blood-red pearl rapidly enlarged, transforming into a surging ball of energy.
As he was standing together with the red-robed Sect Master, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was at the core of the ball of energy and was now completely engulfed by it. "Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, I will return!"
The red-robed Sect Master had chosen to detonate his Seven Killing Pearl to hold back Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
He turned and shot toward the Primordial Battlefield after spitting out his last words.
Cultivators were suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage in the Primordial Battlefield and would be in extreme danger when facing off with the soulless creatures inside.
Nonetheless, the red-robed Sacred Leader was a Saint powerhouse and had a deep understanding of Dharma techniques. As a result, even if he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was still confident of surviving in the battlefield.
In contrast, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was a much greater danger to him.
If he didn't seek refuge in the battlefield, things would be much worse for the Sect Master if Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus caught him.
As long as he could successfully hide in the Primordial Battlefield, it would not be difficult to shake off Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus amongst the other powerful soulless creatures.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus watched on as the red-robed Sect Master detonated his Seven Killing Pearl and fled toward the Primordial Battlefield.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus didn't manage to stop him. The robe of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was in tatters after the Seven Killing Pearl detonated on him. His face once again turned pale as he slowly descended from the sky.
"Damn, I can't believe he actually detonated his Seven Killing Pearl, such a high-level Divine artifact!" Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stared at the disappearing figure of the red-robed Sect Master. "Damn, I gave my all but still let that evil creature escape." With that, he turned and looked at Shen Tian, his face as white as a sheet.
"Tian'er, this time I really won't have much longer to live. We were talking about you acknowledging me as your Master before I die. Thought about it?"
The red-robed Sect Master heard Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's statement and felt his rapidly weakening aura, but he continued to flee toward the Primordial Battlefield.
Damn you! I was already tricked once by you! Do you think your same trick would work a second time? Do you really think I am stupid!?
Even the red-robed Sect Master didn't believe Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus—there was no way Shen Tian would. After all, he was no fool.
Shen Tian wiped his sweat and gazed at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
"Didn't you already make this speech earlier?" Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' face reddened slightly.
"Ahem, it was terminal lucidity just now.
"This time, that evil creature detonated his Divine artifact on me, and I really don't have much longer to live now."
An extremely filthy peal of laughter echoed in Shen Tian's head.
Shen Tian felt rather violated by that laughter, and his face darkened.
"Martial Uncle, don't worry. You got injured because of me.
"If anything happens to you, I will definitely give you a proper burial and visit your grave on the 1st and 15th day of every month, as well as on special occasions.
"Now, can you have another round of terminal lucidity? This fellow is about to escape into the Primordial Battlefield."
The expectant smile on Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' face stiffened when he heard Shen Tian's indifferent words.
He knew that his gig was up.
Damn you, Evil Spirit Sect Master! Why did you have to court death? Why!?

Chapter 238 With Tian'er, How Would The Sacred Ground Not Prosper?
On the other side, the red-robed Sect Master had already traveled hundreds of miles away.
Upon seeing that he was nearing the Primordial Battlefield, his hope of escape was right in front of him.
However, just at this moment, his expression changed drastically.
That was because he felt another powerful aura gathering on top of his head, ready to attack.
Not good!
The red-robed Sect Master hurriedly gathered his strength, forming a blood-red protective barrier on the surface of his body.
Right after the blood-red protective barrier was formed, lightning suddenly struck.
Bang!
A bolt of golden lightning struck the red-robed Sect Master heavily after piercing through the air.
The simple lightning strike instantly broke through the red-robed Sacred Leader's protective barrier.
At the same time as the barrier was penetrated, the golden Mixed Divine Lightning instantly spread throughout the red-robed Sect Master's body crazily.
To Evil Spirit Sect cultivators, the Divine Lightning was definitely the most frightening thing in the world, especially this Mixed Divine Lightning, which was filled with Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' terrifying aura. It was needless to say what kind of damage it dealt to the red-robed Sacred Leader.
The red-robed Sect Master had originally been injured heavily from exploding his Seven Killing Pearl. Now that this lightning struck him, he fell from the sky while his whole body convulsed.
"How dare you injure my disciple! Looks like it's time to purge the Evil Spirit Sect in Eastern Wilderness!"
A cold and stern voice resounded in the canyon while golden lightning and heavenly aura converged.
A figure enshrouded by lightning and heavenly aura appeared before everyone, emitting a powerful aura.
That's right, this person was the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader-Zhang Longyuan!
"Zhang Longyuan, why did you come?"
The Evil Spirit Sect's higher-ups would naturally recognize Zhang Longyuan, one of Eastern Wilderness' few most formidable Sacred Leaders.
At the moment he saw Zhang Longyuan, the red-robed Sect Master fell in utter despair. If the Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was once the strongest genius in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, then the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, was even more intimidating than Chu Longhe.
Although he was not as famous as Chu Longhe when he was young, he was much more stable than Chu Longhe.
During the 1,000 years that Chu Longhe had lost his cultivation level, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground nearly had no one else to lead it. Thus, Zhang Longyuan had taken up the responsibility.
The fame of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's lightning arts being the first in the past thousands of years was not boasted by them. It was a reputation built upon countless battles and countless powerful Evil Cult cultivators' corpses!
It could be said that the infamous name of Zhang Longyuan in the Evil Spirit Sect could even stop babies crying at night.
However, ever since Zhang Longyuan had become the Sacred Leader, he had been in seclusion to cultivate the Heavenly Dao Sutra and Divine Firmament's Lightning Imperial Sutra.
No matter what happened, it was rare for Zhang Longyuan to leave the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. There were even rumors that he had suffered a Qi Deviation due to cutting off his emotions and desires.
Surprisingly, Zhang Longyuan had actually appeared in front of the red-robed Sect Master.
That made him fall into despair since he was at a complete disadvantage against Zhang Longyuan's lightning arts. At the same time, Zhang Longyuan's cultivation level was far above his.
He could practically not fight against Zhang Longyuan at all.
"How is it possible? How did you arrive so quickly?"
The red-robed Sect Master felt resigned as Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe now surrounded him. He had no way of escape at all.
The heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader swayed gently.
"Are you curious why I was able to immediately arrive even though you've already sealed the surroundings? The reason is simple. I rushed here at full speed once I heard of Tian'er's disappearance."
The red-robed Sacred Leader looked at the Sacred Leader in disbelief. "You, a Sacred Leader, have come personally just because a disciple went missing!?"
Are you joking? Which sect's Sacred Leader would be this free?
Only his teleportation destination deviated, it's not like he's dead!
Is everyone in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground this willful? To the point that even a Sacred Leader would come personally at a moment's notice!?
Upon hearing the red-robed Sacred Leader's question, the lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader started surging like the raging waves.
His voice was cold and majestic. "The master-disciple relationship between Tian'er and I is something you evil cultivators can never understand.
"You dare use such evil arts to disrupt Tian'er's teleportation and even tried to hold Tian'er hostage to threaten me and the sacred ground?
"You vile creature, obediently be captured by me!"
What!?
Used evil arts to disrupt his teleportation?
Held the Divine Firmament Saint hostage to threaten the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and Sacred Leader?
The red-robed Sect Master was flabbergasted.
When the f*ck did I think of such things? Beware! I will sue you for slander! Why?
Do you think you righteous cultivators can just twist the truth and anyhow slander us, evil cultivators?
Filled with grief and anger, the red-robed Sect Master flew into a rage.
"Zhang Longyuan, you're going too far! Even if I have to risk dying today, I'll definitely escape from your hands and take revenge in the future!"
As the red-robed Sect Master used the fiercest tone to say the timidest words, he threw out his heretic armaments one by one. His heretic armaments were all middle-grade and above. They were the treasures of the Evil Spirit Sect's branch, the Blood Kill Sect.
In order to escape, the red-robed Sect Master directly exploded all those heretic armaments toward the Sacred Leader.
Meanwhile, he turned and escaped toward the Primordial Battlefield without looking back. If he kept his life, there would be hope as the wheel of fortune might turn!
Now is not the right timing to battle!
As the red-robed Sect Master comforted himself continuously, he fled to the distance.
However, those heretic armaments did not stop the Sacred Leader at all.
The Sacred Leader only took a step. Then, as if he had teleported through space, he directly appeared three feet behind the red-robed Sect Master.
Gold lightning gathered to form a spear in his right hand and directly pierced through the red-robed Sect Master's shoulder, stopping him in mid-air.
"Even though you have the cultivation level of a Saint, your foundation is so weak it's like your inborn kidney deficiency. "You're not worthy to oppose us, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, at all!"
A cold and emotionless voice sounded as the golden lightning suddenly exploded.
The red-robed Sect Master's entire body was pinned to the ground by the lightning spear, forming a thick cloud of dust.
After the dust dispersed, mysterious golden runes floated on the red-robed Sect Master's body, sealing his Saint stage cultivation level.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader descended from the sky like a lightning god and slowly landed in front of the red-robed Sect Master, looking down upon him.
"Today, with you as an example, I shall announce to the five regions that those who offend us, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, will be killed without mercy!"
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' face blushed slightly as she watched the heroic and invincible Divine Firmament Sacred Leader descend like a god.
Originally, she had thought that only Azure Lotus had come. Who would have thought that the Sacred Leader had also come from afar?
Indeed, the Sacred Leader is still concerned about Martial Nephew Shen Tian and me.
As for the old Taoist priest, Chu Longhe, his expression was not good.
He looked at Zhang Longyuan.
"Junior Brother, I have fought a fierce battle to save Tian'er this time. I am injured heavily after fighting a fierce battle with this evil demon. Shouldn't you compensate me with medical fees?"
This time I'll definitely extort at least 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 Spirit Stones!
However, Zhang Longyuan ignored Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and gradually looked toward Shen Tian.
When he saw the Feather Immortal Metal behind Shen Tian, the lightning and heavenly aura around Zhang Longyuan started trembling vigorously.
In just a month, Tian'er has yet... Yet again, found another extraordinary item!
Tsss! As I have expected, Tian'er is definitely the Son of Providence!'
With Tian'er, there's no need to worry that the sacred ground might not prosper! He'll bring our Divine Firmament to prosperity in the near future!

Chapter 239 Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' Godfather
"Tian'er, how did you feel during this Primordial Battlefield trial?" The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader asked Shen Tian in a serious tone. "I heard you reaped quite a number of great gains."
Shen Tian nodded honestly. "Master, I did obtain some pretty good items in the battlefield. I hope I didn't disappoint you."
With that, Shen Tian narrated everything that happened in the battlefield. But of course, he didn't reveal some of his more sensitive secrets.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura glowed brighter as he listened to Shen Tian's experience.
Dragon Blood Grass from the blood of the Princess of the Black Dragon Island in the Northern Sea from 10,000 years ago?
Sword Heart Fruit, an Immortal fruit from 10,000 years ago?
Executing Heaven Sword, another Immortal artifact from 10,000 years ago?
Feather Immortal Metal, the precious treasure of the Eagle race from 10,000 years ago?
Legacy left behind by the Thousand Weapons Saint 10,000 years ago?
Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, which sealed the Evil Spirit Lord 10,000 years ago?
And a human partner for both the Black Dragon race and the Peacock race?
The old Taoist priest standing at the side was extremely envious as he heard about all the treasures that Shen Tian had gained.
He started to have doubts about his life.
Why!?
They both cultivated the Tinder Sutra, but why was he so unlucky while this young punk managed to find treasures wherever he went?
Damn it, he just felt like crying!
"Tian'er, you have done very well." The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded. "Not only did you get precious treasures, but you also established good relations with other prodigies. But if you collected the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, where is the Evil Spirit Lord being imprisoned now?"
Evil Spirit Lord?
The red-robed Sect Master sneered.
"Do you really believe this kid? "The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk might imprison the great lord, but it can still display a Saint-level battle prowess on the battlefield and dominate it entirely. "With such an invincible power, do you think a Foundation Establishment kid can escape his clutches? What a joke! What a great joke!"
Zap
A golden lightning bolt struck the bound Sect Master, making his hair stand on end, and black smoke rise from his body.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said calmly, "Know your place. At this moment, you are just a prisoner."
Humiliating!
What a great humiliation!
The red-robed Sect Master snorted.
"Scoundrel, don't think that you have the upper hand just because you caught me!
"Our great lord is indomitable in the Primordial Battlefield. He will definitely escape when the Heavenly Demon day arrives!
"By then, the entire Eastern Wilderness will be under his command. Release me if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, your Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will be totally annihilated!"
The red-robed Sect Master did not believe that Shen Tian could collect the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk from right under the Evil Spirit Lord's nose and escape in one piece.
After all, the Evil Spirit Lord possessed the Dark Yin Energy, which could be used to create countless powerful phantom clones of himself.
The red-robed Sect Master firmly believed that the Evil Spirit Lord was without foe in the battlefield.
He believed that Shen Tian was just boasting!
"Evil Spirit Lord? Do you mean this fellow?"
Shen Tian scratched his head. A purple pagoda flew out of his dantian. It glowed with a purple light.
An egg-sized purple doll was hanging at the bottom part of the pagoda as if it was a pendant.
The moment the purple pagoda appeared, everyone—including the red-robed Sect Master, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader-was shocked.
This was because the red-robed Sect Master recognized the aura of that purple doll. It was his much-beloved Evil Spirit Lord.
He was about to have a mental breakdown.
Heavens!
This was a sacred spirit from the outside.
,000 years ago, it had been a ferocious and mighty force that dominated the region and washed it in blood.
How did it end up a small doll now? And such an adorable-looking one at that!?
How come it looks so cute!?
How dare this Divine Firmament Saint insult the Evil Spirit Lord in this manner? Also, how did he manage to imprison it!?
As for Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, they were shocked not because of the purple doll but because they recognized the pagoda. This was the God of War Pagoda!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked amazed.
He turned respectfully toward Shen Tian and bowed at the pagoda in Shen Tian's hand.
"It has been 1,000 years since we last met. Longyuan greets Senior Ye!"
Chu Longhe was sulking but immediately smiled ingratiatingly when he saw the God of War Pagoda. He hustled over to the pagoda.
"Godfather, why did you come out of the battlefield?"
The God of War Pagoda glowed, and Ye Qingcang's image appeared before everyone.
He glanced at Chu Longhe. "1,000 years have passed, but you have become even more shameless than before. You even tried to trick a young kid."
Godfather saw everything!?
Chu Longhe turned red. "Ahem, Godfather, you misunderstand. I... I really sustained serious injuries!"
Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes. "Stop calling me godfather. You were still young 1,000 years ago, and so I tolerated it. Now, you look even older than me. Stop trying to suck up to me!"
A notion popped into Zhang Longyuan's head as he looked at the God of War Pagoda in Shen Tian's hands.
His lightning and heavenly aura vibrated, and even his voice betrayed a tremor. "Senior Ye, why did you suddenly come out of the battlefield?"
Ye Qingcang looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader with an impassive face. "Stop trying to pretend that you don't know. Rascal, you are still so reticent and guarded.
"The two of you are such letdowns. But you still managed to groom a pretty good descendant.
"He has decent talents, but most importantly, he is exceptionally good looking. Reminds me of myself when I was young.
"As a result, I decided to pick him as the new owner of the God of War Pagoda. From now on, the pagoda belongs to this young fellow." The God of War Pagoda belongs to Shen Tian now?
So the priceless God of War Pagoda has already acknowledged him as its owner?
Ye Qingcang's statement dumbfounded the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, and Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance.
Over the past 10,000 years, countless prodigies had entered the God of War Pagoda, but none had been able to catch Ye Qingcang's eye. It didn't matter how talented or powerful they were.
No one could deny the God of War Pagoda was one of Eastern Wilderness' most supreme-grade treasures.
This was because more than one prodigy had obtained top-level legacy items from the God of War Pagoda and ended up being very powerful and highly-respected across the five regions.
Zhang Longyuan's Heavenly Dao Sutra and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' advanced Tinder Sutra were both legacy items from the God of War Pagoda. Their lives had completely changed because of that.
Apart from that, the two of them had obtained many other wonderful skills and techniques from the God of War Pagoda, greatly improving their battle prowess. If not for the pagoda, as talented as Zhang Longyuan may be, it would not have been so easy for him to gain the reputation of being the best in lightning techniques in the entire Eastern Wilderness for the past 500 years!
The moment Ye Qingcang liked you and decided to give you something, you could become a powerful prodigy. Now that the God of War Pagoda had acknowledged Shen Tian as its owner, wouldn't he be able to learn all the skills and techniques as and when he pleased? In that case, Shen Tian's cultivation level and battle prowess would undoubtedly reach new heights, and he would reign over the five regions. Wouldn't the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground flourish and dominate over everyone then? Zhang Longyuan felt hot tears in his eyes. My ancestors of the sacred ground, our sect has new hope again!
Accepting Tian'er as my disciple was the best decision I ever made in my life!
Reading more books and reading good books is indeed the best way!
Hehehehehe

Chapter 240 Economic Value Of The God Of War Pagoda
Just who was Ye Qingcang?
He was definitely a sly old fox that had lived for over 10,000 years. With just a look from him at Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe, he knew what the two of them were scheming.
He said calmly, "The God of War Pagoda had already recognized Shen Tian as its master. Thus, wherever Shen Tian goes, that's where the pagoda shall be.
"If Shen Tian is willing, your disciples of the sacred ground can enter the pagoda for the trial at will, but of course, it's not for free.
"Since Tian'er is from your sacred ground, then the disciples of your sacred ground and the both of you can enter the pagoda's trial an unlimited number of times.
"As for the bet in the pagoda arena, I can at most give you a 30% discount. "Also, Tian'er told me previously that he wanted to open the God of War Pagoda to the whole of Eastern Wilderness or even the five regions.
"It is not impossible, but I have a condition. Outsiders must pay the bet in full.
"Also, 50% of the profits obtained must be converted into Spirit Stones to restore the God of War Pagoda. You cannot embezzle any of it.
"The remaining 50% will go to Shen Tian. It'll be up to him how he splits it with you."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded and said, "Since the God of War Pagoda has already recognized Tian'er as its master, then it's Tian'er's treasure.
"Senior Ye is already looking after our Divine Firmament by letting the disciples undergo the trial with a 30% discount. How could we be thick-skinned and continue splitting the profit?
"That's the least I can do. If Senior Ye does not mind, then you can place the pagoda in the Divine Firmament's Small World.
"I can issue invitations to the five regions in the name of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, inviting all the geniuses. "The treasures obtained from those geniuses betting will belong to Senior Ye and Tian'er."
es.
The Sacred Leader's offer astonished Ye Qingcang. He did not believe that the Sacred Leader was that dumb not to know just how frighteningly huge the profit would be.
One had to know, the God of War Pagoda was the supreme treasure within the five regions, and countless people had entered the Primordial Battlefield in the past 10,000 years just to search for it.
Once the God of War Pagoda appeared in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, it would definitely attract all major sects' geniuses. They would fight to enter the trial.
By then, the God Of War List might even become an existence that could be compared to the "Golden Core List" and "Nascent Soul List", becoming one of the important factors for the major sects to measure the strength of geniuses.
Meanwhile, the bets' wager in the arena after those geniuses entered the God of War Pagoda was a fortune that even a sacred ground would covet.
However, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, had given it up without hesitation at all.
Ye Qingcang could not help but exclaim inwardly, Just to what extent did he cultivate the "Heavenly Dao Sutra" to? Does he not like even money?
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus looked at the Sacred Leader's righteous expression-his face was even turning green from thinking about the amount of money lost.
F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!
Why did I not accept this kid as my disciple back then?
If he was my disciple, then I would have the qualifications to take a share of the profit.
an n
Zhang Longyuan must have gone crazy to actually not want money, I'm about to go crazy from anger!
As for Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, she was looking at the Sacred Leader currently. Her face was full of respect and admiration for him. She could not help but be astonished by his lofty morals and noble character.
Shen Tian said in embarrassment, "Master, I would need to trouble the sacred ground to publicize for the God of War Pagoda, so it would be improper of me to not split any profit with the sacred ground!"
The Sacred Leader shook his head.
"Tian'er, nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards, so naturally, I cannot take the profits obtained from the God of War Pagoda bets. "However, do you think that the profits that could be obtained from the God of War Pagoda are only limited to the wager of those geniuses that enter the God of War Pagoda?
"Then you're wrong. If the God of War Pagoda is really within our sect, then the profits are definitely so much more."
As his heavenly aura lightly swayed, the Sacred Leader explained to everyone.
"Firstly, the God of War Pagoda is an item from the Celestial World, so it is the most precious supreme treasure of the five regions. Thus, it has great ornamental value.
"I believe once it is put on display in our sect to the outside, countless cultivators will be attracted. They will come and admire it.
"Those people might not be geniuses and not have the qualifications to enter the pagoda, but that's not important.
"All who come are guests. Our sect could arrange in-name disciples to receive them and build a scenic pagoda spot.
"The revenue from this scenic spot would be quite the amount as it includes accommodation, recorded images, paid images, and so on.
"With the price of a few Spirit Stones, Divine Firmament's disciples could activate the Image Recording Crystal to record one's good memories with the Immortal artifact.
"Then we could write some legendary experiences of those powerful cultivators that have visited the pagoda and produce copies of recorded battles between geniuses. I think most cultivators would be willing to spend money to buy something like that!"
Shen Tian was dumbfounded. He could not help but give the Sacred Leader a thumbs-up.
As expected of Master!
Others would think of using the Immortal artifact to beat people up or guard the sect, but you actually plan to make the immortal artifact into a scenic spot?
Are you sure that you did not obtain the inspiration from the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground?
The Sacred Leader added, "Secondly, if the God of War Pagoda is in our sect, then the overall strength of our disciples will increase greatly, especially true disciples. Their battle experience will far surpass those disciples of other sects from the continuous battles with the prodigies in the pagoda.
Olin
se
"In the course of time, at least our sect's disciples will not be frightened out of their wits when they encounter all kinds of enemies. "As such, we can avoid injuries and the deaths of disciples. These are things that just a few measly treasures could be compared with." Heavenly Venerable White Lotus nodded fervently. Senior Brother Sacred Leader indeed has great benevolence! He thinks of the safety of the sacred ground's disciples as his own responsibility. How could he be this kind!?
The Sacred Leader continued.
"Thirdly, to geniuses, evenly matched battles are the fastest way to improve.
"Our sect's disciples will have a 30% discount when entering the pagoda arena's trial. This is a temptation to anyone. Our attraction toward the five regions' geniuses will increase greatly with the God of War Pagoda!
"As long as there's an endless supply of highly-talented disciples, then there's no need to worry that the sacred ground might not prosper!" Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance seemed to be deep in thought.
When she had become famous, quite a few sacred grounds had wanted her to join them. She had entered the Jade Lake Sacred Ground because there was an array formation in there that was best suited for females to cultivate.
If the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had a supreme treasure such as the God of War Pagoda then, she might have chosen the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground directly.
To true geniuses, a treasure like the God of War Pagoda was definitely a great temptation.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was undoubtedly a Paragon of the generation. He actually had such profound insights!
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, the lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader swayed even more intensively.
He said calmly, "Also, a restriction has long been set. Only the one that obtained the God of War Pagoda's heritage can cultivate it.
"That's to say, if a certain genius discovered a supreme technique of their sect that had been lost for a long time in the God of War Pagoda, the sect would definitely try its best to retrieve
"By then, the sacred ground would be willing to negotiate on Senior Ye and Tian'er's behalf. We will not take any of the profits obtained.
"What the sacred ground needs is the favor for finding the heritage of those sacred grounds, grotto-heavens, and blessed-lands.
"These favors are a great benefit for the sacred ground's development in the future."
Even Ye Qingcang was stunned as he listened to the Sacred Leader speak with such ease and fluency. This kid... He didn't have such ideas previously. How come only after 1,000 years, this kid turned this smart? I'm so not used to this change! Then he took a look at Azure Lotus beside the Sacred Leader, who only knew how to nod.
Ye Qingcang secretly shook his head.
It makes sense that this First Senior Brother did not become the Sacred Leader.
This is the difference in intellect!

Ye Qingcang nodded. "It is rare that a young man like you managed to think of so many ways to profit.
"Never mind. It's a deal.
"The treasures offered by the prodigies as bets will be split evenly between Shen Tian and me. The other profits will go to your sacred ground."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded. "But I would like to bring something to everyone's attention.
"Unless absolutely necessary, it is best not to spread the news that Tian'er is the owner of the God of War Pagoda."
The old Taoist priest stared at him. "Why?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader gazed at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus as if he was a simple-minded fool.
He said mildly, "The reason is very simple. A man can be ruined by his own wealth because of others' greed. Tian'er is not powerful enough now.
"If others know that the God of War Pagoda belongs to Tian'er, they might think he is not good enough and plot against him to steal the pagoda
"Moreover, there are many politics and nefarious power struggles between the sacred grounds, so not everyone would be pleased that our sect may flourish.
"The God of War Pagoda is one of the most powerful treasures.
"If others know that it belongs to Tian'er now, they might take a risk and try to kill him.
"If Tian'er falls, the God of War Pagoda will probably leave this world."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader might have already transcended all human emotions and desires, but he still understood the evilest intentions other cultivators might have.
After all, the cultivation world was a dog-eat-dog world.
In fact, the higher one's position was, all the more the laws of the jungle would apply to them.
Quite a number of people would hold secret nefarious intentions against the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!
If they revealed the identity of the true owner of the God of War Pagoda, it might bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to Shen Tian. Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was enlightened. "Oh! So you are saying that he might be assassinated if others know the God of War Pagoda belongs to him? Haha, in that case, how much are you willing to pay me to keep my mouth shut?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus revealed an evil smile.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader gazed at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and his heavenly aura swayed. "I think that killing the witness would be more worth it!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, "???"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, "!!!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus tried to explain himself. "Junior Brother, don't misunderstand me. I was just joking, just trying to lighten up the mood. I was born and grew up in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. I will remain loyal to it to my death. I would never take advantage of my home! After all, I still have a reputation to upkeep!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader studied Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus for several seconds as if trying to decide whether to believe his words.
After a long time, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded reluctantly. "Since you say so, you can eat another Forgetting Pill later. In order to secure this secret for the sacred ground, you will have to forget what happened today!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, "..."
Eat another pill? No way! Do you think I am a hypochondriac!?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance. "Junior Sisters, please also help me keep this a secret. Don't spread this information."
A new thought popped into his head, so he added, "Especially Junior Sister White Lotus. Please don't let Yunfeng suspect anything."
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus replied resolutely, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I will keep my lips sealed!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader finally relaxed. He turned and looked at the Evil Spirit sect members.
These fellows knew of Shen Tian's secret, but he was not worried as they would never get to spread this information.
The Evil Spirit Sect and the sacred grounds were mortal enemies. Any Evil Spirit sect member the sacred grounds encountered would be immediately imprisoned for life at the very least.
Most of them would be killed after a harsh interrogation, like this red-robed Sect Master. As one of the leaders of his sect, he must have committed countless sins to have reached the Saint stage.
If any other sacred ground had captured him, he would have already died. Being captured by the sacred grounds was no different than the death sentence.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said, "The trial has ended. To avoid alerting the others, we will not spread the news about the Evil Spirit Sect."
He continued calmly. "I will bring these Evil Spirit Sect members back to the sacred ground for interrogation. Junior Sisters, please help me round up this trial. The Eastern Wilderness has enjoyed peace for too long. Perhaps it is time to clear out these rats."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura vibrated. His voice was mild, but everyone could feel the immense power he exuded.
It was like heavenly punishment! The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader grabbed Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and stepped into the void, heading back toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian followed Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance back to sect town. Eunuch Gui and the rest heaved a great sigh of relief upon seeing those three return.
"Your Highness, you are finally back. I was so worried."
"Brother Shen, are you alright? Did you get injured?"
"Brother Shen, I knew that you would make it back in one piece! You are a lucky fellow after all!"
"Master Heavens' teleportation went wrong this time. You must have encountered another great fortuitous opportunity! Congratulations, Master Heavens!"
"Master Heavens, we have been searching high and low for you this entire time you went missing. You had us worried to death!"
"We were all so worried about you! Luckily you are fine!"
Shen Tian's heart grew warm upon hearing his friends' heartfelt words.
He smiled. "I am sorry for making you guys worry."
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance smiled. "No harm done. It's just a teleportation gone wrong. We are just glad you are fine.
"Now that everyone is back, the elders of the various sects will calculate the disciples' points. "The final result of this trial will be announced in an hour's time. Martial Nephew Shen Tian, please hand over the soulless creatures you have killed. You can take a rest then."
This joint training, held once every five years, was also an opportunity for the various sects to hunt for soulless creatures.
The bones, blood, and dark energy of these soulless creatures could be refined and used by the cultivators.
Of course, the sect would not just swallow up all the disciples' hard-earned gains.
The sects would buy those treasures from the disciples at market price. They would even give them rewards.
Shen Tian nodded. He started to dump out all the bones from his Archeon Sea Ring.
Countless skeletons exuding powerful auras appeared before Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance.
A Golden Core Bone Demon's skeleton!
Blood Essence Pearl from a Golden Core Blood Demon!
A Golden Core Bone Demon's skeleton!
The head of a Golden Core Fiendish Demon!
Another Golden Core Bone Demon's skeleton!
The aura radiating from the remains of every single soulless creature was quite formidable. Even Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus were stunned.
It must be pointed out that in the Primordial Battlefield, the cultivation levels of all visitors would be suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage. Under such circumstances, it was already considered a great achievement if one could kill a Golden Core undead creature.
But Shen Tian... He had killed several hundreds of such creatures!?
Wow!
Are you sure these are really Golden Core undead creatures and not just random weeds he plucked from the roadside?
Following that, Shen Tian poured out several sparkling red pearls from his Archeon Sea Ring.
Nascent Soul Blood Essence Pearls!
One, two, three, four, five! Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus were both thunderstruck by the time the fifth pearl appeared.
These pearls might be just Nascent Soul ones, but they possessed a power that was far beyond that. They would have a major effect even on Heavenly Venerables.
How did Shen Tian manage to kill five Nascent Soul Blood Demons in the Primordial Battlefield?
He is only at the Foundation Establishment stage but managed to overcome two levels to kill five Nascent Soul level demons!?
The two female Heavenly Venerables gazed at Shen Tian. They suddenly understood why the God of War Pagoda had acknowledged him as its owner.
Their little martial nephew was the true supreme prodigy!
Other prodigies were nothing compared to him!

Chapter 242 Ye Qingcang's Prank
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' jaws dropped upon seeing the mountain of gains.
Frankly speaking, they were dumbstruck.
Even 1,000 years ago, First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, the golden-generation twin prodigies of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, had not obtained this much from entering the Primordial Battlefield when they were in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Looks like Senior Brother Sacred Leader is right. Shen Tian is indeed the lucky star of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground given by the deities.
When he completely matures, how would the sacred ground not prosper?
"Tian'er, you've done very well!"
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked at Shen Tian with a smile and said, "You've been in the trial for so many days, so you must definitely be tired. Return to your room and take a rest!
"Two hours later, the sects will ring the bell to announce the final results. Wear something formal then.
"Since you're our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Saint, you'll definitely obtain the first place in this trial!"
What Heavenly Venerable White Lotus said did not upset Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance since Xiao Ling was also one of the Saintess candidates in the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, her talent was also astonishing.
However, as compared to Shen Tian, even her Connate Spirit Constitution seemed to pale in comparison. In addition, Shen Tian had stopped the Evil Spirit Sect's scheme, which allowed the sacred grounds to directly capture the Evil Spirit Sect's Saint and many higher-ups. No one could ignore such a contribution! It could be said that with just this one battle, Shen Tian's chance of winning the fight for the Sacred Leader position increased greatly!
The first place of this trial undoubtedly belonged to Shen Tian.
"Thank you, Aunt-Master. I'll take my leave."
Shen Tian bade Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus farewell and went straight to his temporary sleeping quarters.
He did not allow others to follow, or else he would get annoyed by Song Fugui's, Liu Taiyi's, and others' flattering shenanigans.
Of course, that was not the main reason.
Shen Tian walked into his sleeping quarters alone and activated the array formation within. As such, no one's divine consciousness could infiltrate into his sleeping quarters.
A man then gradually walked out from the dark.
He looked heroic as he wore the Longyuan Divine Armor, and his whole body was releasing a powerful aura.
More importantly, this man's appearance was identical to Shen Tian-his handsomeness was unparalleled!
"You've returned?"
"I've returned."
"Your gains were bountiful."
"That's because you controlled well from a distance."
"After merging with the Feather Immortal Metal and Pure Reincarnation Earth, you've become even more handsome?"
"You're flattering me. It's because your genes are good, so you're more handsome."
"The trial has ended, so come back. Merge into my body. It might be slightly painful, endure it."
A blood-red golden ball of light gradually fused with another handsome figure in a covert corner of the room.
As that ball of blood successfully merged, the aura of that handsome figure turned even more powerful than before!
Upon sensing the surge of Mixed Five Elements energy that was so powerful it could not be compared to before, Shen Tian smiled.
At last! My clone has successfully returned, and this battlefield trial has finally ended.
At that moment, a playful voice sounded behind Shen Tian.
"Oh, so finally back to the original body?"
Shen Tian felt a chill down his spine, and he hurriedly turned around.
He saw a tiny purple pagoda floating behind him that was spinning slowly.
"You're quite timid. You actually used a clone to enter the Primordial Battlefield's trial." Ye Qingcang's voice carried a teasing tone.
Shen Tian reluctantly replied, "Well, safety is first! Please excuse my cowardice."
Ye Qingcang's figure gradually appeared, and he stared straight at Shen Tian. "I knew. Why do you think I directly chose you as the master of the God of War Pagoda?"
Shen Tian was slightly stunned. "Senior, what do you mean?"
Ye Qingcang grinned. "I have already noticed that it was your clone the moment you entered the God of War Pagoda. That body only has part of your true strength. It's only the clone you controlled from afar. It's also the reason why I directly gave you the evaluation of a Seven-Star Prodigy. It's not because I was biased."
Shen Tian became vigilant. "Then why didn't you expose me? Why are you telling me only now?"
Ye Qingcang laughed and said, "If I directly exposed you, then given your timid personality, would you still dare to become the master of the God of War Pagoda and bring it to your true body?"
Shen Tian's blood ran cold.
"What-what do you mean?"
The God of War Pagoda enveloped the whole room in a brilliant purple light.
Ye Qingcang looked at Shen Tian. "You have five extraordinary items within you, but there's no conflict between them at all. I like such a body very much. Hahahaha, from today onward, your body will be mine!" Fuck, this old man is a villain!?
A cold shiver ran down Shen Tian's spine before he instantly activated the extraordinary items within him.
Metal enhances Water, Water nourishes Wood, Wood feeds Fire, Fire creates Earth, Earth
forms Metal!
The Five Elements' power crazily surged toward the Executing Heaven Sword within Shen Tian's lung.
Clang!
An unprecedented loud and clear clanging sound echoed.
The blood-red light aura that seemed to be able to slice through anything was slashed toward Ye Qingcang and the God of War Pagoda.
Ye Qingcang's eyes revealed his admiration toward Shen Tian as he slowly raised his right hand.
"Your sword is not bad, but it's a pity your swordsmanship is too poor." Although Shen Tian had the Divine Sword Constitution, he had not learned any sword techniques before.
When dealing with ordinary people, his slash was an irresistible force, but it was far from being able to threaten Ye Qingcang.
The index and middle fingers of Ye Qingcang's right hand shone with faint purple light as if they were purple jades.
Clang!
That blood-red sword aura was directly gripped by Ye Qingcang's fingers, unable to move an inch.
"Is this your true power?" Ye Qingcang sneered and said, "You're still far too weak. If this is your full strength, then I'll take your body."
Upon sensing an extremely powerful pressure, the five-elemental extraordinary items and Mixed Divine Lightning within Shen Tian became unprecedentedly active.
His physical body shone with a brilliant golden light as if he was Buddha himself.
The five-elemental extraordinary items' energy also shone on Shen Tian's body, making his Executing Heaven Sword shine even brighter.
Shen Tian also equipped the Longyuan Divine Armor, making him even stronger.
Although Ye Qingcang's eyes betrayed astonishment, he still used his palm to smash the Executing Heaven Sword's strikes.
Clang! The impact on Shen Tian's right hand from the collision resulted in the Executing Heaven Sword falling to the ground, while the blood-red aura disappeared.
He's too powerful! This old ghost from the Celestial World is just too strong.
Even if Shen Tian had used all of his strength, he could not put up a fight against him at all.
Shen Tian secretly took the Sacred Leader Token out of his Archeon Sea Ring, planning to directly activate the power stored in the token. However, just as he wanted to activate the array formation, he discovered that there was no reaction from the Sacred Leader Token at all. It had been sealed!
"Not bad." Ye Qingcang looked at Shen Tian. "You're already counted as the top prodigy of the mortal world. It's reasonable to evaluate you as a seven-star prodigy.
"However you're still too weak as compared to when I was young. I only used my Golden Body cultivation to battle with you just now.
"I hope you stop setting those mediocre people in the mortal world as your goal. Follow me as your model and work hard! "Your test will end here! Next time when I'm free, I'll test you again anytime."
Test!?
Shen Tian's mouth twitched. "What test? You-you, didn't you want to steal my body?"
Ye Qingcang revealed a playful smile. "You're keeping such a low profile, even acting while fighting with your Master's projection.
"If I didn't say that, would you use your full strength when fighting me? Then how would I know what's your true power? "You even hid a clone and did not want to tell me. I am your god-grandfather! What have I not seen in the Celestial World?
"So I played a prank on you this time, see if you dare to hide anything from me in the future!"
Shen Tian, "..."
Played a prank?
F*ck you! Is there someone who would joke with stealing one's body?
You're already a mighty being from the Celestial World! Are you that free to play a joke with such a young and handsome me?
You have such bad taste in jokes!
If this was my world's 21st century, you would definitely not live to see the next sunrise!
Shen Tian looked at Ye Qingcang in doubt. "That means, you-you don't plan to steal my body?"
"You've read too many soap opera books!" Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes. "Steal your body? Do you think it's that simple to find a compatible body? Just take a look at your weird constitution that enables you to safely integrate the five-elemental extraordinary items. If I really stole your body, who knows what would happen! So just put your heart at ease!"
Shen Tian looked at Ye Qingcang with resentment. "You old thing, you darn old thing actually scared me!" Ye Qingcang smirked and said, "Haha, I'm teaching you the evils of human nature. Or else, you might be deceived by that kid, Chu Longhe."
Shen Tian gnashed his teeth. "Did you really use your Golden Body cultivation to fight me just now?"
Ye Qingcang said proudly, "Duh! Do you think that with the astonishing talent that I have, the Golden Body realm is not enough to bear you up?"
Shen Tian asked suspiciously, "Early- or late-stage Golden Body? First or Second Refinement Realm?"
Ye Qingcang's face turned slightly red. "Cough, cough, that's not important. Anyway, you just need to remember that you're still far from being invincible against those of the same stage. You need to continue working hard. "The 'Sky-Smashing Palm' I used just now is perfect to be used with your extraordinary items, so do you want to learn it?" Upon seeing that Ye Qingcang was obviously trying to change the topic, Shen Tian said coldly, "No."
Ye Qingcang had already held his head high and prepared to reply, "If you want to learn, then recognize me as your god-grandfather and beg me!"
He never expected that Shen Tian would directly reject him. His expression instantly turned extremely interesting.
This kid actually dared to reject my offer!
"You-you, how is it possible that you're not interested!? It's one of my ultimate techniques!"
Shen Tian was still cold. "So what? I don't care."
Ye Qingcang flew into a rage. "You're humiliating me and my ultimate technique! Do you know that kid Chu Longhe had begged me for half a month 1,000 years ago and called me his godfather? Even so, I did not teach him!"
Shen Tian took a glance at Ye Qingcang. "Oh? So what?"
What Sky-Smashing Palm, so what if it's powerful?
You actually pretended to want to snatch my body and scared me!
But you wrap it in nice-sounding phrases, such as wanting me to know the evils of human nature.
At last, Shen Tian knew why Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had wanted to recognize this guy as his godfather.
They were simply the same kind of people! Frankly speaking, Shen Tian held a grudge. If it was not for there was no opportunity image above this old thing's head, Shen Tian would definitely snatch his fortuitous opportunities until he started questioning life itself. Shen Tian had to let him know the malice of the cultivation world!
Shen Tian was originally elated due to his bountiful gain and the trial's end, but after being suddenly frightened by Ye Qingcang, he was completely astounded.
Shen Tian could guarantee that the reason Ye Qingcang had been hunted down in the Celestial World was definitely not because he was handsome.
Definitely not!

Chapter 243 Can I Reject This Reward?
At the sect town, in the Divine Firmament area...
Shopkeeper Song sat in the courtyard with a frown while in a daze.
Qin Yundi, Liu Taiyi, and the others saw him and approached him, concerned.
"Junior Brother Song, what's wrong? Is there anything disturbing you? Tell us so we can share the burden."
"After going through this battlefield trial together, we're already brothers that have shared life and death, just speak without worries."
"Senior Brother Fugui, besides Master Celestial, there are not many people I acknowledge. So just speak your mind, I'll definitely help you!"
Upon hearing how concerned the surrounding his Senior and Junior Brothers were, Shopkeeper Song sighed and said, "Sigh... it's a long story!"
Qin Yundi narrowed his eyes. "Then just cut the long story short!"
Shopkeeper Song said with resentment, "Just now, my unlucky son came to the sect town and told me that he had hooked up with the Song Family's First Young Miss."
Hooked up with the Song Family's First Young Miss?
Qin Yundi and the others exchanged gazeswasn't this a good thing?
Everyone knew that Shopkeeper Song was originally from one of the cultivation Song Family's branches, which was near the Country of Fire.
Although this so-called cultivation Song Family was utterly weak, their strongest elder's cultivation level was only at peak Golden Core-it was still Shopkeeper Song's main family.
Shopkeeper Song's son being able to obtain the heart of the Song Family's First Young Miss, this should not be a thing that would make him upset, right?
Liu Taiyi said, "Children can take care of themselves when they grow up, so you should be happy that your son has a Dao companion."
Shopkeeper Song shook his head. "I'm not sad because he has a Dao companion. It's that after he found a Dao companion, he did not stay at home with his wife. Instead, he actually specially came to the sect town to inform me to go back and host the wedding."
Eunuch Gui was stunned. "A marriage hosted by one's parents, is there anything wrong with it?
Shopkeeper Song sighed and said, "Eunuch Gui, there's something you don't know. My family is just a branch family of the Song Family, so we were always ignored.
"The reason my son was able to steal the heart of the Song Family's First Young Miss, is it really because she likes him, an ugly guy?
"Ha! It's because I entered the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, so I'm no longer what I used to be. Wouldn't they want to curry favor with me now?"
After pausing for a moment, Shopkeeper Song said helplessly, "Originally, I wanted to bring my son to the Divine Firmament City after I enhanced my cultivation.
"Then I could beat, Teach and take care of him anytime. He might even have a chance to join the sacred ground in the future.
"Who would have thought that he would be tempted and charmed by the main family's daughter, becoming Dao companions so early?
"Otherwise, if I brought him to the Divine Firmament City and let him join the Favored Ones to work for Master Celestial, his future would be limitless!"
Shopkeeper Song was filled with disappointment as his son had not met his expectations. This idiotic son is useless!
Liu Taiyi comforted him, "Children can take care of themselves once they grow up. Since your son has already found his happiness, then just leave him be."
Shopkeeper Song shook his head. "I am not angry because he found a Dao companion. It's because he wants me to go back and host the wedding."
Shopkeeper Song became angrier as he spoke. "I am now following Master Heavens, and my cultivation levels increase by leaps and bounds, I don't even have time to butter up Master Heavens, so how would I have the time to go host some wedding!?
"I have been in the commerce business for so long. I don't dare to say I'm able to artfully scheme, but at least I am strategic, rational, and wise. However, my good-for-nothing son's brain is empty, and he keeps causing trouble for me day in day out.
"He even wants me to give up on flattering Master Heavens and return to host the wedding... He's simply an outrageous fool! "Is his wedding more important or flattering Master Heavens more important? Does he not know!?"
Eh? So it's because of this!
As they listened to Shopkeeper Song, their mouths could not help but twitch.
As expected of the Favored Ones' Grand Elder, he had such firm resolution!
Qin Yundi asked, "Then Junior Brother Song, it means that you've rejected your son and directly made him leave?"
Shopkeeper Song shook his head. "No, I used a paternity test mystic technique before I told him to scram and get married. I had long wanted to do this test, but I had not found the mystic technique for it. Thus, after I joined the sacred ground, I trained hard in this art. Just now, I used this mystic technique to see if that idiot is really my son." As Shopkeeper Song spoke, his expression turned sad, and he sighed. "This is the true reason why I'm upset!" Huh? Tsss!
They seemed to have heard some huge gossip!
Everyone's eyes lit up with curiosity.
Liu Taiyi asked with sympathy, "Senior Brother Fugui, what do you mean?"
Zhen Zhijia looked at Song Shopkeeper intensively. "Is it possible that your son is not really your son? OMG, breaking news!"
Qin Yundi smiled and said, "Junior Brother Song, don't worry. We will definitely keep it a secret for you and definitely not let others know."
Eunuch Gui also said sternly, "My lips are sealed."
Qin Gao said seriously, "My lips are sealed!" Xiong Meng also nodded. "Me too, my lips are sealed."
Shopkeeper Song felt a shiver down his spine upon seeing his Senior and Junior Brothers, who were saying that their "lips are sealed".
"Cough, cough." He felt resigned as he spoke. "You've all misunderstood! Who-who said that he was not my blood-related son? He is!"
Liu Taiyi asked in doubt, "Since your son is truly your son, then why does Senior Brother still look so gloomy?".
Shopkeeper Song explained, "I've been clever my whole life, but my son is a helpless fool.
"Originally, I suspected that he was the son of Shopkeeper Wang from next door, so I thought that one day after I did the paternal test, the evidence would be irrefutable.
"But now that I've done it, this idiot is actually my son. OMG!
"There's nothing more depressing than that! I am smart, but my son is an idiot."
Everyone stared at Shopkeeper Song as if they were judging whether he was speaking the truth.
After a long time, Qin Yundi sighed and said, "Sometimes, a mediocre life may also lead to happiness." He smiled and said, "Since Junior Brother Song thinks that your son is not intelligent enough, then why not give him a chance to be an ordinary person?"
A chance for him to be an ordinary person?
Shopkeeper Song seemed to be deep in thought. "You're right. I've already given that good-for-nothing quite the amount of Spirit Stones and Dragon Blood Grass. It's enough for him to live comfortably in the Song Family for the rest of his life.
"In the future, I'll take it as if I don't have a son and follow Master Celestial to cultivate without worries.
"If there's a chance, hehe, I might find myself a Dao companion."
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Song felt as if his heart and mind were cleared of worries. It was as if he had been enlightened, and his cultivation level even increased. As for the test results, there was already no one caring about it.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of the bell rang, and the sects' disciples started gathering.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, Heavenly Venerable Purple Sun, and other elders of different sects stood in mid-air proudly.
They emitted a powerful aura and were even shining brightly, making one unable to distinguish their real appearance.
This was the special Dharma technique Divine Light.
Once used, it could make one look more mysterious and flashy. It was very popular amongst the mighty figures.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus took a step forward. They looked so pure and beautiful that they were the dream Dao companion for countless sect disciples.
Treasure boxes appeared in front of everyone while shining faintly. Heavenly Venerable White Lotus took out a jade fabric, then she smiled and said, "This Primordial Battlefield Trial has ended. In this trial, everyone did well. It could be said that this batch performed the best as compared to the previous batch!"
Just as Heavenly Venerable White Lotus finished speaking, cheers of joy came from the crowd.
It was obvious that Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' encouragement was extremely heart-warming
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance said calmly, "Next, we, the elders of different sects, will distribute the rewards to the disciples."
As she finished, she looked at Heavenly Venerable White Lotus.
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus nodded. "The first place of this trial is able to obtain the Spirit artifact from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground— Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer!
"The Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, is first!"
Just as she finished speaking, the Divine Firmament disciples started chanting.
"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 they produced an awesome firework, magnificent and gorgeous. In an instant, hundreds of disciples unsheathed their swords, and the swords flew around in the air.
The swords soon formed the character "Tian" in the air, and it looked extremely splendid.
The other sect disciples' eyes were shining as they witnessed such a scene-a true hero deserved such a treatment!
Under everyone's anticipation-filled gazes, the door to Shen Tian's room in the distance opened. A brilliant gold figure appeared in front of everyone.
He was wearing the Longyuan Divine Armor, and behind him were various avatars, such as countless swords, Five Heavenly Lightning Beasts, and others, making him seem heroic and extraordinary. More importantly, behind him was a pair of golden wings, which shone brightly with divine light.
Currently, Shen Tian was really like a god descending from heaven, noble and eye-blinding
old thing, it's all because of you that I was almost late to the ceremony.
Shen Tian could not help but complain inwardly. He turned 720 degrees in the air with his golden wings and steadily landed in front of Heavenly Venerable White Lotus.
His handsomeness was unparalleled!
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked at Shen Tian with pride. "You've done well. You lived up to Senior Brother Sacred Leader's expectations."
As Heavenly Venerable White Lotus spoke, she slowly opened a box and took out a purple hammer the size of one's palm. She smiled and said, "This Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer is yours."
Shen Tian smiled as he took the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer. He could obviously sense the powerful energy it contained-it far surpassed the Purple Golden Hammer!
It was heavy, full of vigor, and domineering! "Thank you, Aunt-Master. I'll definitely protect Divine Firmament with this hammer!"
Shen Tian held the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer tightly, and a drop of blood permeated through it.
In an instant, a purplish-gold aura was emitted from the hammer, covering Shen Tian completely.
The Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer grew hundreds of times larger in the blink of an eye and turned into a humongous armor that was tens of feet long and covered in silver liquid.
Shen Tian smiled and suddenly smashed the hammer toward the space beside him vigorously.
Bang!
In that instant, the space burst apart, and a fearsome black space crack was formed, which emitted a frightening aura.
In an instant, the other sects' disciples were all dumbfounded.
Breaking through space with a hammer!
This was the true strength of the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian? Handsome, powerful, and extremely generous
—that was what all Divine Firmament disciples used to describe him-he's really too perfect!
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance thought highly of Shen Tian as she moved forward to announce, "The second place in this trial will obtain the superior-grade Spirit artifact from Jade Lake Sacred Ground, the Black Spirit Bead. "He is the true disciple of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Qin Yundi!" Qin Yundi revealed a faint smile on his exquisite face.
Besides Shen Tian, who was absurdly powerful, he had the most advantage in the Primordial Battlefield as he had 10 Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns. He could basically kill all undead creatures instantly.
During the half month he had spent in the trial, Qin Yundi had used those undead creatures as target practice and brutally slaughtered them, so of course, his number of kills was impressive.
The Black Spirit Bead was the Jade Lake Sacred Ground's superior-grade Spirit artifact. It could form a protective barrier after pouring in Dharmic powers and could really make up for Qin Yundi's lack of defensive means.
To Qin Yundi, such a reward was extremely practical.
Of course, as compared to when Shen Tian received, Qin Yundi paled in comparison.
The cheers and applause were sparse and half-hearted since he did not give out Nirvana Holy Liquid
Next, the Crimson Dawn Grotto-Heaven's elder moved forward and said, "The disciple in third place will obtain the inferior-grade Spirit artifact from our Crimson Dawn Grotto-Heaven, the Red Amber Handkerchief.
"The disciple in third place is the true disciple of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, Xiao Ling!"
As the Jade Lake Sacred Ground representative, Xiao Ling, who had a Connate Spirit Constitution, was definitely not weak.
In addition, she had learned the Deity Peering Art, and she was originally proficient in searching and assessing ores; thus, being in the Primordial Battlefield was like fish to water.
To quickly become stronger and be able to stand beside Shen Tian, Xiao Ling had relied on special terrains. She had trapped and killed quite a number of undead creatures, so her number of kills was considerable.
In addition, to show consideration for the Jade Lake Sacred Ground's face, during the selection of the rankings... The third place in this trial belonged to Xiao Ling.
Although the Red Amber Handkerchief was an inferior-grade Spirit artifact from the Crimson Dawn Grotto-Heaven, and its value was quite low, it was still a valuable Spirit artifact.
Therefore, Xiao Ling would not mind as the reward for third place was too perfect compared to the fourth place.
Supremacy Zi Yang gradually walked out from the group of Elders, his face full of reluctance.
He looked at Shen Ao, unable to figure out how his good-for-nothing disciple had obtained that many undead bones.
It is even more than the Jade Lake Sacred Ground's girl!
He had only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage before entering the Primordial Battlefield!
But, Shen Ao's cultivation level did increase greatly.
In a short month, he has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Also, his foundation is extremely stable. Such a speed is simply too fast!
Is it possible that the effect from Senior Brother's special training is showing!? He spoke slowly. "The fourth place will be able to head to the Grand White Grotto-Heaven and learn Sword Dao from Sword Venerable Long River for three months!
"The disciple that obtained fourth place is the true disciple of the Grand White Grotto-Heaven-Shen Ao."
Shen Ao?
Shen Ao was completely dumbfounded upon hearing that.
WTF? How the heck am I fourth? Where did my fourth come from!?
Shen Ao remembered that he had only killed a small number of undead creatures, and almost everyone that traveled together had more kills than him.
Are they mistaken!? Can I reject this fourth place reward?
At the same time, in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's side, a few disciples lowered their heads guiltily.
Initially, those people felt that since Shen Ao was Master Heavens' blood-related brother, they should get on his good side.
Thus, after discussing in secret, they decided to help Shen Ao increase his rank by giving him most of their battle gains.
According to their estimation, Shen Ao should take at least second or third place, but they did not expect the plan to go awry.
It looked like they've caused trouble for Shen Ao!

Chapter 244 Supremacy Zi Yang's Dilemma!
The award ceremony progressed systematically.
Every sacred ground, grotto-heaven, and blessed-land took out their precious treasures.
There were a total of 20 prodigies, and every one of them received valuable rewards. They were all grinning from ear to ear.
Of course, a certain youth from the Country of Fire had been overlooked. He appeared bewildered and felt like weeping.
"Thirteenth Brother, do you think I can come with you to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to train for a period?"
Shen Ao appeared to be rather conflicted, and his face was an array of changing expressions.
No choice. It was humiliating to beg his own little brother for the chance to tag along with him, but the benefits were just too great! He could follow his thirteenth brother and reap the benefits of his fortuitous opportunities, enjoying a smooth-sailing life.
He was no fool. Why should he go back to train under Sword Venerable Long River?
He was not a masochist! Shen Tian was taken aback by the pitiful-looking Shen Ao.
He had never trained under Sword Venerable Long River before and didn't hang out with Li Yunfeng and the rest. Thus, he was unfamiliar with gossip in the Eastern Wilderness.
As a result, he didn't know about the rumors surrounding Sword Venerable Long River.
But when he first saw Sword Venerable Long River at the Weiyang Palace in the Country of Fire, he was already at the Soul Formation stage.
Sword Venerable Long River's cultivation had already reached formidable levels.
If not for Li Lian'er, Shen Tian also wanted to learn swordplay from Sword Venerable Long River.
After all, Sword Venerable Long River's reputation of being the Eastern Wilderness' number one practitioner in swordplay over the past 3,000 years was universal and widely-acknowledged.
Although the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, was also very adept at swordplay and was at an even higher cultivation level than Sword Venerable Long River-his forte was in the lightning arts. If based on just swordplay alone, Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan, was still the best in Eastern Wilderness!
Shen Tian had the Divine Sword Constitution and was very curious about his swordplay skills.
"If you wish to, I am more than happy to welcome you to visit the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. But you have received the reward of three months of personal training under Sword Venerable Long River. This is a great fortuitous opportunity."
Shen Tian took a Sword Heart Fruit out of his Archeon Sea Ring. "You have already consumed one of these before. This greatly enhances your swordplay talents.
"But it has been so many days since you last consumed one that most of its essence should have already been absorbed. You can take another one of these and further enhance your talents.
"With two Sword Heart Fruits, I believe you should be able to gain Sword Venerable Long River's recognition and become an exceptional prodigy swordsman! "Why don't you finish your three-month sword training first before coming to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?"
Shen Ao's expression turned rather strange as if he was feeling anxious about something.
Shen Tian shoved the Sword Heart Fruit into Shen Ao's hands. He said encouragingly, "Sixth Brother, believe in yourself! After all, back in the Country of Fire, you used to be the most powerful prodigy in the Shen Family!"
With that, Shen Tian gave a thumbs-up sign and beamed.
Most powerful prodigy? Shen Ao was taken aback as he stared at Shen Tian.
Over the past few months, he had been living under Shen Tian's shadow.
"Used to be the most powerful prodigy" felt like subtle mockery.
After all, compared to Shen Tian, how could his earlier performance be considered extraordinary? In the great cultivation world, he was mediocre at most. Shen Ao looked at Shen Tian. He thought his thirteenth brother must have been mocking him, but he noticed that his expression was extremely sincere.
It was like in his thirteenth brother's eyes, he would forever be his elder brother.
For a moment there, Shen Ao felt a warm feeling gushing over his heart.
He couldn't help scolding himself inwardly.
Stop acting so emotional and dramatic! No one likes to watch some weepy forced theatrics!
Even if the Zenith Heaven Deity himself came, he must try his best to wriggle out of that three-month special training. "Thirteenth Brother, I don't want to go for the special training. Sword Venerable Long River's training is completely useless. It is also boring and arduous!"
Shen Ao gazed at Shen Tian with a woeful expression. He pouted as he pleaded in a small voice. "You are now the Divine Firmament Saint. Can you think of some way to let me... go to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and avoid this three-month training?"
Huh? Was it like that?
Shen Tian thought about it. "Let me try."
Shen Tian approached Supremacy Zi Yang and bowed. "My humble greetings, Uncle-Master Zi Yang."
Supremacy Zi Yang was quietly amazed by the intense and suppressive aura radiating from Shen Tian's body.
Just two months ago, in the Weiyang Palace in the Country of Fire, this young man was just a little weakling. How did he manage to become such a powerful Golden Body practitioner in just two months'
time?
Supremacy Zi Yang's was truly shocked by the aura he emitted.
It was clear that Shen Tian's battle prowess was now high enough to pose a slight threat to Supremacy Zi Yang.
Is this how a true prodigy is? So disheartening!
Supremacy Zi Yang didn't dare to behave arrogantly. He quickly returned the bow. "You are too kind. Just call me Zi Yang."
Shen Tian addressed Supremacy Zi Yang as Uncle-Master as he was from the same generation as Zhang Longyuan. But power trumped all in the cultivation world. Most cultivators did not particularly respect seniority and age. With Shen Tian's status as the Divine Firmament Saint, calling Supremacy Zi Yang Uncle-Master was considered an extremely polite gesture. He felt rather shocked and pleased.
He could see why so many people praised the Divine Firmament Saint.
He was such a talented prodigy but still behaved so courteously. He was also extremely handsome. Who wouldn't like him?
Shen Tian smiled. "To be honest, I am bothering you now because I need a favor."
With that, Shen Tian discreetly shoved a stalk of well-aged Dragon Blood Grass into Supremacy Zi Yang's hands.
Supremacy Zi Yang's eyes sparkled when he felt the pure energy exuded by the stalk of Dragon Blood Grass.
He cleared his throat and quietly kept the stalk of Dragon Blood Grass. He smiled. "No need to be so formal. The Grand White Grotto-Heaven has always been on very good terms with your sacred ground. Feel free to just ask whenever you need anything."
Shen Tian looked toward Shen Ao. "My sixth brother and I are very close. We have been close like brothers since a young age." Close like brothers? Aren't you biological brothers in the first place? Never mind, this isn't important now.
Supremacy Zi Yang nodded. "I understand completely. If this was not the case, you would not have changed your name to Shen Aotian at the Myriad Spirit Garden. Your close relationship with your brother is very touching."
Shen Ao, "..." Shen Tian, "..." Cough, cough!
Shen Tian coughed lightly. "So I hope that I can invite my sixth brother to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground as a guest for some time. Can Uncle-Master Zi Yang help out with this?"
Guest for some time?
Supremacy Zi Yang furrowed his brows slightly. "But if we went by the book, Ao'er is supposed to train under Senior Brother Long River for three months after he returns. This is a rare opportunity to learn swordplay from Senior Brother. If Ao'er doesn't return, Senior Brother Long River might be displeased. He might never offer to train Ao'er again."
Never offer to train me again?
Shen Ao's eyes immediately lit up. He sighed. "It's a rare opportunity to train under Martial Uncle. But even so, I hold brotherly ties in higher regard. Do let me go to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to spend time with my thirteenth brother!"
Supremacy Zi Yang glanced at Shen Ao.
Stop trying to put up an act in front of me!
Do you think I don't know what you are truly thinking? I have also trained under Senior Brother Long River before!
What will happen to me if Senior Brother becomes angered by your no-show and takes it out on me!?
Supremacy Zi Yang said in exasperation. "Saint, if it was anything else, I would gladly oblige you. But as this concerns Senior Brother Long River's reward, I am afraid my hands are tied."
With that, Supremacy Zi Yang reluctantly took out the stalk of Dragon Blood Grass. "This Dragon Blood Grass—"
Before Supremacy Zi Yang could finish his sentence, a cute little sprite bounced over.
Who else could it be but Li Lian'er?
The calabash growing in the flowerpot on Li Lian'er's head was looking very strong and healthy after absorbing the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
Two green vines hung down from the pot, making it look as if Li Lian'er had two green pigtails.
Li Lian'er took out a letter and handed it to Supremacy Zi Yang. "Uncle-Master Zi Yang, you don't need to worry about Father being unhappy.
"Junior Brother Shen Ao is not the only one who wants to visit the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. I am also going to Second Uncle's place to hang out with my cousin.
"You can tell him that Junior Brother Shen Ao is going to accompany me! "This letter already explains everything. Father wouldn't be upset."
Supremacy Zi Yang felt dazed as he looked at the beaming Li Lian'er.
Going to Second Uncle's place to hang out with your cousin Li Yunfeng? Do you think Senior Brother will believe such a silly excuse?
There was no need for Supremacy Zi Yang to read what Li Lian'er had written. He knew that if he let Li Lian'er go, he would definitely be in deep trouble with her father.
After all, Sword Venerable Long River was the strictest father in the entire Eastern Wilderness!
Supremacy Zi Yang quietly kept the stalk of Dragon Blood Grass again. It was no longer important whether Shen Ao went.
It would already be a blessing if he could convince Li Lian'er not to leave. He might even be able to curry favor with Sword Venerable Long River by claiming that he used Shen Ao to exchange for Li Lian'er. Sword Venerable Long River wouldn't be angry then.
But if he failed to convince Li Lian'er to return... Supremacy Zi Yang felt that...
He would probably have to live full-time at the back of the mountains over the next few years.
Just the thought of it terrified him!
Supremacy Zi Yang quietly picked Li Lian'er up. "Saint, go ahead and bring Ao'er away with you then! I will explain to Senior Brother on your behalf."
With that, he flew off with Li Lian'er in his arms.
Li Lian'er struggled. "Uncle-Master, let go of me. Otherwise... Otherwise, I will run away from home the moment we arrive!
"I want to go to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to hang out with my cousin. Why are you stopping me?
"You are so unreasonable!"

Chapter 245 God Of War Palace's Mystic Technique, God Of War Transformation
Upon hearing that Li Lian'er wanted to go to Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Supremacy Zi Yang was so frightened he directly brought the Grand White Grotto-Heaven's disciples and left.
No matter what, he had to bring this hot potato lady back first.
As for Li Lian'er saying she would run away from home the moment she returned, Supremacy Zi Yang was not worried. Anyway, once he returned to the grotto-heaven, he would immediately find an excuse to leave and execute a task, as far away as possible.
Even if she really successfully ran away, it wouldn't be his problem!
After the Grand White Grotto-Heaven's disciples left, the other sects' elders and disciples also left one after the other. This trial had finally come to an end. "Brother Shen Tian, I'll definitely try my best to cultivate and strive to have the qualifications to stand beside you as fast as possible!"
Xiao Ling wore an azure robe, and lotus flowers were formed with each step she took, enchanting countless disciples.
However, her eyes were on Shen Tian from the start till the end.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's words suddenly replayed in her mind again – "Talented geniuses like Senior Brother Chu and Saint Shen Tian will definitely ascend and become immortals in the future."
Without even the talent to reach Immortal Ascension, one would not be able to stand alongside them. Such a Dao companion relationship would only result in a tragic ending of being separated forever.
It was rumored that Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus Chu Longhe had said this to Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance when his alias had been Chu He.
As for what his original words were or whether her imagination had conjured up some things, no one knew already.
Xiao Ling also followed the Jade Lake Sacred Ground elders and disciples and left.
The number of people in the sect town gradually decreased.
"Everyone, board on the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel. We're ready to return too."
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus smiled faintly as she commanded the disciples to board the flying vessel orderly.
As the flying vessel started flying, the whole deck was filled with cheers and laughter.
"The Primordial Battlefield is indeed exciting. Powerful undead monsters are everywhere and much stronger than normal demonic beasts."
"Yeah! Although these undead monsters are powerful, their intelligence cannot be compared to demonic beasts. As long as we have good teamwork, three to five of us are enough to kill a Golden Core undead monster."
"We had quite a fruitful gain in this trial. It's enough for us to cultivate for 10 years. I hope the next trial could come sooner."
"Easier said than done. There's quite a number of monsters in the battlefield. If you were careless, you would be surrounded and die."
"That's right. We were injured in the battlefield. If not for the Nirvana Holy Liquid Senior Brother Saint gifted us, my team would not have been able to survive."
"That's right, that's right! The effects of the Nirvana Holy Liquid Senior Brother gave us are astonishing. If it wasn't for the Nirvana Holy Liquid, I might not be able to last either!"
In the middle of the crowd, a certain Divine Firmament disciple was speaking loudly.
"I, Zhang San, have something that I must say.
"In the trial this time, we encountered the disciples from the Evil Spirit Sect. It was an extremely perilous situation!
"That darn evil sect disciple actually created five Nascent Soul Blood Demons with unknown methods.
"I led Senior and Junior Brothers and fought with that Blood Demon fiercely, but we were defeated in the end and trapped by a Blood Demon, putting us in a dangerous situation.
"If it was not for Senior Brother who rushed all the way to the Blood Demon Valley without fear of hardships and dangers, we would most likely have all died.
"Anyway, in conclusion, my life is now Senior Brother Saint's.
"I will follow all of Senior Brother Saint's orders unconditionally!"
A Foundation Establishment cultivator was able to kill five Nascent Soul Blood Demons!?
Even if the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's disciples knew that their Saint was talented and mighty, such a feat was simply too shocking.
"Really? The Primordial Battlefield restricts one's cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment stage, right? How could Senior Brother Saint slay five Nascent Souls himself?"
A person voiced out their suspicion but was quickly flooded by the buzz of discussions.
"How could you doubt this? Don't you know just what kind of person Senior Brother Saint is? How could he be compared to a normal person?"
"That's right, Senior Brother's talent subdues even the laws of heaven and earth. Nothing could restrict Senior Brother's strength!"
"I was there, and I can prove it! Senior Brother Saint's battle prowess was definitely not something that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could have! His aura was simply indomitable, while his pair of divine golden wings were too fast for us to even see. Slaying Blood Demons was as easy as slaughtering a dog!"
"That's right, that's right, you don't know! Saint Shen has a thick and hard divine whip hidden on him, which can stretch and shrink, turn long or short, and permeate all defenses. "Those Nascent Soul Blood Demons might be powerful, but the Blood Essence Pearl in their chest was their weakness, protected by blood armor.
"Meanwhile, the Saint's whip could stretch and shrink at will and bend however he wanted. It directly bypassed the blood armor and pierced through the Blood Demon's heart, taking out the Blood Essence Pearl. "Thus, he completed the feat of slaying five Blood Demons alone. It was simply amazing!"
"I was there too! I can prove that what Senior Brother Zhang said was not exaggerated at all. The Saint is not a human but a god!"
Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, and others could not help but grin upon listening to Zhang San and the others' discussions.
Indeed, as expected of Master Heavens. He has attracted countless fans in just one month.
Forget the disciples in Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, there were disciples from other sects that were captured at the Blood Demon Valley too!
If they were to return to their sect, they would most likely become Master Heavens' worshippers too. This is beneficial to spreading Master Heavens' reputation.
Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, and others were considering if they should contact Li Yunfeng and publicize this "Blood Demon Valley Battle', as it was a great help to forming the glorious image of Shen Tian.
While everyone on the deck was discussing about Shen Tian, the latter was cultivating seriously in his room.
He was cultivating the Tinder God of War Sutra taught by Ye Qingcang, an enhanced version that was more profound than the Tinder Sutra.
The Tinder Sutra Shen Tian had used five taels of silver to buy was only the basic sutra that was widely spread throughout the five regions. He could at most reach the Golden Body realm with it.
After reaching the Golden Body realm, there were no records on how to reach beyond the Godfiend Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage.
Meanwhile, the Tinder God of War Sutra was a heritage from the Celestial World's God of War Palace. It could directly allow Shen Tian to cultivate it to become an immortal after transcending the tribulation.
Not only so, but there were also numerous powerful ancient offensive skills recorded in the Tinder God of War Sutra-it could unleash the full battle prowess of the physical body.
Ye Qingcang did not hide the cultivation method of these ancient offensive skills, and he taught almost all of them to Shen Tian.
There were two offensive skills that were most suitable for Shen Tian amongst them. It was almost as if they were tailored for him.
The first one was the Sky-Smashing Palm. It recorded the supreme technique that could counter Dharmic powers with one's physical strength.
The technique that Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had unleashed toward the Eagle race's elder back then was only the weakened version of this technique. It already had boundless power.
This offensive skill did not focus on the technique itself but on gathering the energy of the extraordinary items within one's palm, thus achieving the power to pierce through the heaven with a single hand.
The power of this skill that Ye Qingcang had unleashed as a soul when controlling the Grand Primordium Purple Aura could even directly stop the Executing Heaven Sword.
The five extraordinary items within Shen Tian had an inter-promoting relation, so if he could successfully learn this skill, his strength would definitely increase greatly. Meanwhile, the second technique was the God of War Transformation.
It was the Celestial World's God of War Palace's core mystic art and focused on extraordinary items or ancient divine beast bloodline as its core to enhance one's strength.
Its fundamental principle was like the Godfiend cultivators consuming the Qi Aura within them to increase their strength temporarily, but this skill was much deeper and more profound.
Godfiend cultivators that cultivated the God of War Transformation could try to merge divine beasts' bloodlines into their bodies.
If necessary, when one activated the God of War Transformation, they would be able to turn into a supreme divine beast and have the corresponding fearsome power of the divine beast.
Also, if one had extraordinary items, they would be able to activate God of War Transformation and completely fuse the power of the extraordinary items within their body, then unleash the power.
In ancient times, a certain group of humans had once flourished with this mystic technique.
At that time, this mystic technique represented glory and honor!
Ye Qingcang had repeatedly stressed that this mystic art was definitely worth it for Shen Tian to focus on cultivating as it was too suitable for Shen Tian's physical constitution.
Currently, Shen Tian was trying the God of War Transformation. He wanted to fuse the First Essence Heavy Water.
As the cultivation technique circulated continuously, Shen Tian's aura was rapidly turning stronger.
He could sense that the First Essence Heavy Water, which was originally in his kidney, rapidly surged throughout his whole body, emitting a glittering luster. However, the surface of Shen Tian's body did not release powerful energy. Instead, it turned weaker.
It was not that Shen Tian was getting weaker, but he had restrained all his energy within to avoid wastage. In fact, the battle of true powerful Godfiend cultivators would not cause much destruction or create loud noises as that meant the energy within one's body was being dissipated, it was not condensed enough and thus results in too much useless output.
Just like how previously Shen Tian had burned his Qi Aura and consumed Mixed Divine Lightning to enhance himself, he may look extremely cool by having his whole body burning with golden flame aura, but in fact, it meant that his Qi Aura and Divine Lightning was being consumed too fast and thus energy was wasted.
If he could perfectly control the energy from burning his Qi Aura and Divine Lightning, he should be the complete opposite.
Currently, Shen Tian was trying to do that.
The aura Shen Tian emitted turned weaker and weaker.
If another cultivator was standing beside him, the cultivator might even mistake him for a normal Qi Refinement cultivator.
"You've reached your limit?"
Shen Tian stretched out his right fist while deep in thought. He could vaguely see a pale silver light on his fist.
The Archeon Sea Ring shone brightly, and a golden bone appeared on Shen Tian's left hand.
This golden bone was the bone of the Golden Core Skeleton Bone Demon in the Primordial Battlefield-it was even harder than a Dharma treasure.
The reason Qin Yundi had crazily been hunted down undead creatures was mainly that he wanted to obtain their bones to research and improve the guns.
Shen Tian decided to use it to test out his new skill instead. He held this bone with his left hand tightly and gently pointed with his right hand, which was covered in a radiant dense silver aura.
Clang!
He gently pointed his forefinger onto this bone, and instantly cracks appeared before a piece of cracked bone shot out and pierced into the wall deeply.
"Such destructive power! Is this the correct way to use the First Essence Heavy Water?" Shen Tian's eyes lit up as he murmured to himself.
Ye Qingcang's figure gradually appeared, and he said with a smile, "The First Essence Heavy Water is also called the 'water with extreme weight', and it is counted as a treasure in the Celestial World.
"Isn't it normal for it to have such power? You don't understand the real miraculous power of the five extraordinary items you have.
"Rather than just searching for fortuitous opportunities, why not learn some cultivation techniques to have a thorough grasp on the fortuitous opportunities you already have?
"Once you return to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, I suggest that you train in the God of War Pagoda for a few months. "After you beat up all those prodigies in the God of War Pagoda, you will be counted as a top genius even in the Celestial world!"
Beat up all the prodigies in the God of War Pagoda?
Haha, it's simple for him to say.
I have now become the only Seven-Star Prodigy. I'm worried that enemy forces might fear my potential and assassinate me. If I even defeat those Eight-Star Prodigies that Ye Qingcang had hidden, then won't I astonish the whole five regions?
No, I have to clearly tell that old man to remove my name from the God of War Tablet!
A true genius should be extremely modest. What's the use of fighting for only reputation in name?
Just as Shen Tian was letting his thoughts run wild, the bell on the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel rang.
That represented that they were about to reach the sacred ground, and all the disciples should prepare to get off the flying vessel.
At the same time, Ye Qingcang stared toward the flying vessel's east and smiled faintly.
"Aha, you have quite the good luck! We've only just arrived at your Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, but we're encountering a little girl transcending the tribulation to become a Saint?
"Aren't you mainly cultivating lightning arts for your Qi Refinement cultivation? Take this opportunity to freeload some lightning!
"The Heavenly Tribulation Divine Lightning is a good thing. It's extremely good for strengthening your Golden Body!
"Don't miss this opportunity, or you'll regret it."
Ye Qingcang's statement stunned Shen Tian.
Somebody is transcending the tribulation in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?
Which elder is it?

Chapter 246 Leveraging On The Power of The Heavenly Tribulation
The Divine Firmament Flying Vessel landed in the Small World. The disciples alighted one by one.
The disciples in charge of guarding the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel carefully checked the remaining Spirit Stones in the vessel before locking the doors.
And so, the Primordial Battlefield Trial was officially concluded.
Over 100 Divine Firmament disciples had undergone this exciting and dangerous experiential journey. They all felt rather tired. But no one headed directly back to their rooms to rest.
This was because there was something exciting to see outside the Small World. Countless Heavenly Tribulation clouds had gathered about 100 miles from the Small World, among which pure and powerful lightning bolts flashed.
It was the Heavenly Tribulation. It was the lightning tribulation that one must face when a Heavenly Venerable at the Soul Formation stage would be transcending to become a Saint.
This meant that some powerful Heavenly Venerable was at this very moment undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation! Shen Tian spread his golden wings and morphed into a golden figure. He flew out of the Small World.
When he came near to the Heavenly Tribulation clouds, he saw the face of the Heavenly Venerable.
It was a lovely and graceful lady dressed in a long silver gauze dress. She stood proudly in mid-air, with Spirit Qi swirling beneath her feet, like a mystic fog.
Meanwhile, the lady's already lithe body appeared even more alluring, enshrouded in the mystic fog. One could say that she had unparalleled beauty. Every smile and movement she made was filled with extreme charm, especially that surging wickedness. It was comparable to a certain black dragon.
Yes, the one who was about to undergo Heavenly Tribulation was Qin Yundi's sexy mother–Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus.
"Mother is about to undergo a tribulation and become a Saint." Qin Yundi looked very worried. "I hope nothing bad happens!"
It was well known that it was difficult to become a Saint.
To become one, a person had to undergo the Heavenly Tribulations and gain recognition from the heavens.
And the tribulations were extremely difficult. Less than 10% of the top Heavenly Venerables at the Soul Formation stage successfully became Saints.
Qin Yundi didn't wish to see his mother meet with any mishap. But Shen Tian just smiled. "Don't worry, Aunt-Master Golden Lotus won't come to any harm."
Shen Tian was not sure how powerful Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was, but he had that Ye Qingcang fellow by his side!
It was easy for Ye Qingcang to judge if a Heavenly Venerable could successfully complete a Heavenly Tribulation to reach the Saint stage.
As a result, Ye Qingcang had shamelessly revealed a spoiler to him—there shouldn't be any problem with this tribulation.
Instead, what made Shen Tian curious were the three Divine Firmament disciples sitting cross-legged beside Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' Heavenly Tribulation clouds.
One of them was dressed in green and carrying an exquisite Chinese zither. He looked extremely gracious and approachable.
The other was dressed in a reddish-gold armor, with a Fire Dragon Spear resting across his knees. Behind him was an avatar featuring all sorts of divine beasts.
Yes, the two of them were the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's First Senior Brother, Fang Chang, and Second Senior Brother, Zhang Yunting.
Meanwhile, the third person was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Saintess, White Tiger Zhang Yunxi.
There was a very simple reason for their close presence beside the Heavenly Tribulation clouds. They were making use of the lightning tribulation to cultivate the mystic technique, Decalamity!
This was the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra's final forbidden chapter. It was also the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's most secretive technique.
The elders of the sacred ground had discussed this several times, and in the end, they decided to make a one-time exception to let Fang Chang and the rest cultivate this secret technique.
Thus, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was not the only one today. Fang Chang and the rest were also seriously prepping.
After all, undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation to transcend into the Saint stage was not a common occurrence in the Eastern Wilderness.
It must be pointed out that in the entire Eastern Wilderness, the number of Saints could be more or less counted on one hand. It was just too difficult to become one!
"Junior Brother, you guys are finally back!"
Zhang Yunxi was sitting cross-legged and exuding an exceptionally formidable aura, even more, powerful than Zhang Yunting's. However, she immediately drew back half her aura upon seeing Shen Tian. She might be very powerful, but she was also very considerate. Shen Tian smiled as he flapped his golden wings. He landed in front of Zhang Yunxi and the rest.
Fang Chang's injuries had already healed. His powers had even increased because of the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
Already at the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage, he was definitely one of the most powerful young prodigies in the Eastern Wilderness. Not many people were a match for him.
"Junior Brother, you guys are finally back."
Fang Chang smiled and batted his lashes. "Junior Sister Yunzi missed you so much over the past month." A golden bolt of lightning shot toward him from the side, making him jump and his hair stand on end.
"Was I wrong, Junior Sister!? I am just speaking on your behalf! You electrocuted me because of that?"
Fang Chang puffed out a mouthful of black smoke as tiny sparks ignited all over his body.
In the past, he had been wooing Zhang Yunxi for so long, but she hadn't even given him a second glance.
Today, he was zapped by her... and with such intensity.
This Five Elements Divine Lightning was truly powerful!
Zhang Yunxi smiled at Shen Tian. "Junior Brother, you have indeed gained a lot from the battlefield trial. If I am not wrong, the wings on your back should be the Feather Immortal Metal, ranked 8th on the Immortal Metal List!"
Shen Tian nodded. "Yes, I was lucky enough to have gained some stuff from the battlefield. But none that is worth mentioning. None at
all."
Zhang Yunting felt like rolling his eyes. This Junior Brother was saying such infuriating words.
If the Feather Immortal Metal, ranked 8th on the Immortal Metal List, was nothing worth mentioning—what else could be worth it?
It must be known that even to a formidable Saint-level cultivator, any extraordinary item in the top ten list would be considered an extremely precious treasure! Zhang Yunting said in exasperation, "Junior Brother, Aunt-Master Golden Lotus is undergoing a tribulation to become a Saint. It is the best opportunity for us to cultivate Decalamity. Since you possess the Mixed Divine Lightning, you better grab a good spot and prepare to cultivate too!"
Amongst the most talented prodigies in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Zhang Yunting was recognized as the top. It was not only due to his I Lightning Spirit Constitution. It was mainly because Zhang Yunting was mature and serious. He handled things with stability and thoroughness that spoke of his potential for the management side of being a Sacred Leader.
Most elders from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground acknowledged this.
If not for the Son of Providence's appearance, Shen Tian, the future Divine Firmament Sacred Leader would probably not be Fang Chang. It would have been Zhang Yunting.
After all, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would fall into chaos if Fang Chang became the Sacred Leader.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yunting, for your advice."
Shen Tian smiled and chose a spot outside the Heavenly Tribulation clouds. He sat down cross-legged, and his Longyuan Divine Armor appeared on his body.
Zhang Yunxi's eyes sparkled. She subtly shifted her position so that she was nearer to Shen Tian.
The best spot to cultivate Decalamity was just outside the Heavenly Tribulation clouds.
The lightning tribulations in this area would not be too strong, with just a residual power. The Heavenly Tribulation also wouldn't think that you were disrupting the person undergoing the actual tribulation.
If you charged straight into the center of the Heavenly Tribulation clouds, you might be struck by extremely powerful lightning. And if the Heavenly Tribulation locked onto your presence, it would be nearly impossible to escape.
Not long after Shen Tian, Zhang Yunxi, Fang Chang, and Zhang Yunting settled down, the Heavenly Tribulation cloud above Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' head grew even more intense.
The clouds churned, signaling that the tribulation... had started!

Chapter 247 This Heavenly Dao Is Indeed Unfair!
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was wearing a silver Divine Metal battle armor. She had prepped herself such that she was now at her peak.
She had even consumed elixirs specially cultivated by Heavenly Venerable White Lotus.
Those elixirs were full of Spirit Qi and circulated within Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' body, greatly enhancing her powers.
It could even decrease the severity of injuries sustained from the lightning strikes.
It was indeed not easy at all for a human cultivator to undergo the tribulations. But compared to demons, humans did have several clear advantages.
For starters, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' Heavenly Tribulation was clearly not as intense as the Divine Devouring Vine's tribulation. In addition, she had the support of the sacred ground. Given Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' capabilities, her chances of successfully reaching the Saint stage were very high.
"Divine Firmament Disciple Golden Lotus wishes to undergo a tribulation to become a Saint. I hope the Heavenly Dao will have mercy on me."
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus faced the churning black Heavenly Tribulation clouds and bowed respectfully.
Following that, a divine metal sword appeared in her hand. It exuded an extremely potent aura.
Lightning was already gathering in intensity in the Heavenly Tribulation clouds.
The lightning bolts were streaks of green, forming a dragon shape in the air.
These lightning bolts were Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning and very beneficial to Zhang Yunting.
Boom!
The Azure Dragon Divine Lightning streaked across the sky, charging toward Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus with a roar. Its aura was powerful beyond belief as if a real azure dragon had descended from the Celestial World and was coming straight for her.
But to Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus, whose major was in the Metal Element Divine Lightning Art, it would not be difficult for her to handle the Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning. A golden 7th Stage Divine Lotus appeared in her left hand. Rays of light shone down from above her head, while silver lightning gathered in the sword in her right hand. It merged into one with the White Tiger avatar behind her.
Roar!
The tiger roared.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus had morphed into a white tiger, ending up in a fierce brawl with that green dragon.
The Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning was torn apart. Green lightning was dispersed in all directions, charring the surroundings over a radius of dozens of miles.
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, and Shen Tian were all at the clouds' perimeter.
All four were at the Golden Core stage or Golden Body stage. They were the top prodigies in the Eastern Wilderness.
Even so, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunxi were feeling rather stressed by the barrage of the remnant Wood Element Divine Lightning. After all, the lightning was meant for a top Soul Formation cultivator who was about to ascend to the Saint stage. Even a leftover lightning bolt would possess great power. Zhang Yunting kept cultivating the Decalamity technique, using his Wood Element Lightning Spirit Constitution to absorb the scattered Azure Dragon Divine Lightning.
A Golden Core appeared between his brows.
This Golden Core used to have seven Divine Emblems, but the core's surface was currently full of cracks.
Following that, Zhang Yunting kept absorbing more and more Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning until the surface of his Golden Core finally cracked open.
A Golden Core with eight Divine Emblems appeared. He had successfully become a Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage cultivator. Fang Chang was of the fire element. He had a Fire and Earth Dual Lightning Spirit Constitution. Wood fed Fire, and Fire produced Earth. The Wood Element Divine Lightning was also very beneficial for him.
The Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning circulated around his entire body, and his Qilin avatar dazzled like never before. His Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage core spun continuously on top of his head. It represented the most extreme level!
Nevertheless, although they were benefiting from this, both Fang Chang and Zhang Yunting looked rather unkempt. Their hair was standing on end from the electricity, and black smoke rose from their bodies. They looked rather wretched.
On the other hand, Shen Tian and Zhang Yunxi looked completely different.
Both of them had gotten the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant previously and had absorbed quite a bit of Mixed Divine Lightning power source from it.
They could very smoothly absorb all the Wood Element Divine Lightning they came into contact with.
As a result, the two of them showed no signs of electrocution despite being engulfed by lightning, especially Shen Tian. Not only was he absorbing the Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning with his Mixed Divine Lightning source, but he was also using the lightning to cultivate his physical body under Ye Qingcang's instructions.
While sitting cross-legged, his bones, muscles, fascia layers, internal organs, and muscles were all being cultivated under the Tinder God of War Sutra.
A faint humming noise could be heard from his body, like the sound of drums and gongs, the sound of a rushing river, the muffled rumble of thunder... Countless lightning bolts were circulating upon Shen Tian's Longyuan Divine Armor before being actively absorbed into his body.
The golden glow on his body was rapidly intensifying.
His golden wings looked like they had been revitalized. They exuded a divine glow, which was more radiant than ever before, dazzling the eyes of those disciples standing far away.
Meanwhile, as the lightning washed over him, his body was also becoming more muscular, more powerful, and could hold even more energy Shen Tian could feel that he was not far away from the Golden Body Second Refinement Stage!
"Not bad. Your constitution is indeed very suitable for the Tinder Sutra." Ye Qingcang's voice rang out from behind Shen Tian. "Absorb more. This kind of lightning tribulation is a heavenly gift and a great freebie. It would be a waste to not take full advantage of it." Shen Tian was rather speechless at Ye Qingcang's careless comment.
Nevertheless, he was right.
After taking a deep breath, the Mixed Divine Lightning power source at his brow area radiated with a suction force that was more powerful than ever. Suddenly, the green Divine Lightning surrounding Shen Tian all surged into his body.
Ah
Feels so good!
A wonderfully numbing but soothing feeling permeated Shen Tian's entire body.
So, cultivation actually felt so good!
No wonder so many people cultivate for several hundred years. Love it!
Shen Tian was happily leveraging upon Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' lightning tribulation.
However, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus herself was not having as easy a time as others thought. After all, it was no easy feat to overcome the tribulation and reach the Saint stage.
Although Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus successfully conquered the Wood Element Divine Lightning, the round had taken a heavy toll on her.
Her face was very pale. Obviously, she had made use of a secret technique earlier to kill off the Azure Dragon Lightning in the shortest time possible. "One would become completely rejuvenated after turning into a Saint. I am sure that I will become even more beautiful and alluring."
ome C
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus muttered to herself. "Ye Lanyu, I will definitely become more beautiful than you! I am claiming this Sainthood for sure!"
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus stared straight at the Heavenly Tribulation cloud, waiting for the second bout of lightning.
The Heavenly Tribulation cloud did not disappoint as the second wave of lightning was soon brewing
This wave of lightning was yellow in color and formed multiple Earth Qilins.
It was clear that the second round of lightning tribulation was going to be Earth Element Qilins Divine Lightning.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. After all, Earth bore Metal. She could also overcome an Earth Element Divine Lightning.
Such were the facts. When faced with the Earth Element Qilins Divine Lightning, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus remained calm and light-footed.
Streaks of lightning were dispersed and scattered and in all directions, allowing the nearby Saint and Saintess, as well as the two disciples, to absorb over a dozen bolts.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' Heavenly Tribulation progressed systemically.
A sudden thought popped into Shen Tian's head. This Heavenly Dao is indeed unfair.
When a certain someone underwent the Divine Devouring Vine Tribulation, the first round was the Metal Element White Tiger, completely suppressing her.
The second round was the Fire Element Crimson Phoenix, also a complete suppression. That certain someone had been soundly beaten.
But for Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus, she was of the Metal element and was given the Wood Element Azure Dragon for her first round. Metal was the perfect element to suppress Wood.
The second round was the Earth Element Qilin. Earth bore Metal, and Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus could also easily overcome it. This kind of difference in treatment was like comparing the love of a stepmother and that of a biological mother.
No wonder those powerful demons always claimed that the heavens clearly preferred the human race!
No wonder even the prodigies from the Dragon and Peacock races all wanted to sign contracts with humans!
In terms of cultivation, humans did seem to enjoy preferential treatment from the heavens.
Shen Tian couldn't help sighing.
This unfair treatment by the Heavenly Dao is indeed... so wonderful!
Time passed by the minute. Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus overcame the Earth Element Qilins lightning tribulation.
The third round started to brew, giving rise to silver lightning streaks bearing an extremely sharp and harsh aura.
Several white tigers appeared in mid-air, formed by the lightning. Their roars shook the earth.
The third lightning tribulation was the Metal Element White Divine Lightning. It was the same element as Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus.
When faced with this third round, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus no longer had any elemental advantage.
More importantly, she had already expended quite a bit of energy to handle the first two rounds.
For a moment there, the Divine Firmament disciples watching the tribulation... all felt rather worried for Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus.

Chapter 248 My Friend's Mother
Roar!
Metal Element White Tigers with powerful auras pounced toward Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus.
Those white tigers charged forward, ripping the fabric of space.
Their sharp aura was enough to make those faraway Divine Firmament disciples shudder in fear.
These Metal Element White Tigers were powerful to the extreme. It was like even the most talented prodigy would not be worthy to stand near them.
Zhang Yunxi, Fang Chang, and Zhang Yunting slowly retreated. They sat down again about 500 meters away from Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus launched her lightning skills to fight those Metal Element White Tigers, and countless waves of lightning clashed with each other.
Those Metal Element Divine Lightning were of the purest strain, and the scattered streaks were quickly absorbed by those three.
As for Shen Tian, he didn't move back like the rest.
His Longyuan Divine Armor glowed, and he looked ultra heroic under the flashes of lightning
At the same time, those scattered Metal Element Divine Lightning were also being rapidly absorbed by Shen Tian. The lightning circulated throughout his body.
Shen Tian could feel the Mixed Divine Lightning power source at his brow area, continuously growing stronger as he absorbed the lightning
One must truly admire the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor. He was indeed an exceptionally outstanding genius.
He had managed to create this secret technique to absorb the power of the lightning tribulation.
It was like he was the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Tribulation!
Shen Tian could feel his physical body being continuously refined by the lightning and transforming
The power in the five extraordinary items in his body was also circulating continuously within him, enhancing his physique.
Meanwhile, the Five Lightning figure on his dantian edged toward perfection after absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
At this point, Shen Tian was confident of ascending to the Golden Core stage any time he wanted now, but he didn't choose to break through at this moment. This was because he felt that to achieve an invincible foundation, one had to...
Alright!
It had nothing to do with achieving an invincible foundation. The main reason was that Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was undergoing a tribulation now, and she was the main character today.
He was already taking advantage of this senior's Heavenly Tribulation, so if he suddenly made a breakthrough now, it would really be like a presumptuous guest stealing the spotlight from the host. If Aunt-Master Golden Lotus became displeased or he accidentally attracted the Heavenly Tribulation's attention, it would be as good as committing suicide!
As a result, Shen Tian was keeping a low profile.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was fighting with the Metal Element White Tigers and suffered considerable injuries.
Her silver armor was torn and tattered. If not for the divine light barrier, she might have been indecently exposed. Although the Heavenly Tribulation was nearing its end, the final stretch was the most challenging one.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was nearly at breaking point.
"Sigh, didn't think that at the end of the day, I still have to owe that young man!" Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus sighed and slowly took out a small bottle.
The bottle contained the Nirvana Holy Liquid which Shen Tian had given her.
Previously, Shen Tian had asked Qin Yundi to help him give Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus the Nirvana Holy Liquid in exchange for the Divine Firmament protective array.
It was not a good deal for Shen Tian, but he was not really interested in that array. He was more interested in Aunt-Master Golden Lotus.
Of course, it was not because Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was sexy, alluring, or undeniably wicked. Definitely not!
It was because Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was the Divine Firmament elder who was most adept at crafting and refining items. She was the one who presided over the creation of the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman.
It would only benefit him to maintain good relations with such a powerful and talented elder.
After all, when the entire upper management of the sect were your friends and had mutual interests, you would be truly invincible and without foe!
It had nothing to do at all with the fact that she was his friend's mother.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus slowly placed the small bottle upon her lips and parted them slightly. Silver liquid flowed out of the bottle into her mouth. It swirled in between her red lips and the tip of her tongue.
It must be said that Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was indeed very highly-skilled in the art of seduction.
She could make the simple act of drinking so sexy and alluring.
After Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus swallowed all that silver liquid, her energy levels shot up, and she became more energetic. She licked the final drop of liquid remaining at the corner of her lips.
When faced with the last few white tigers charging at her, her aura surged.
"Metal Element? White Tigers? Die, all of you!"
Roar!
The aura of the white tiger avatar behind her suddenly magnified by several times.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus merged with the sword in her hand, becoming a silver flash of light shooting across.
Clang!
When the sword light faded away, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus reappeared before everyone's eyes. The glow of her divine sword light dimmed, and one could see faint cracks along the blade. But it wasn't completely broken.
Behind her, those Metal Element White Tigers all exploded, transforming into streaks of shattered lightning before completely dissipating
The churning Heavenly Tribulation clouds also dispersed.
The subtle sense of strong intent evaporated. All that was left behind was the Divine Lightning broken down into its most fundamental energy units. Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus heaved a sigh of relief. She could feel herself transforming completely and entering a new realm.
This was a realm that was powerful beyond what she had ever experienced and what she could even imagine.
But to Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus, this was not the most important thing.
She slowly took out a mirror and carefully studied her own reflection.
"I look so pale and washed out. Didn't they say that you would become more beautiful after becoming a Saint? Why do I look so haggard?" Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus muttered to herself. She turned to see a large crowd of Divine Firmament disciples looking at her.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' expression instantly shifted. "I have just ascended to the Saint stage and need several days in seclusion to better understand this new stage. "For the next few days, Yundi will be in charge of Golden Lotus Mountain.
"Unless absolutely necessary, no one is to disturb me!"
With that, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus morphed into a streak of golden light and flew off.
"Wasted, wasted. What a waste!"
Ye Qingcang's voice echoed in Shen Tian's mind. "The divine consciousness of the Heavenly Dao has already dispersed. There is all this powerful leftover lightning energy and no one to claim it.
"That foolish woman is not going to absorb it at all. I would have beaten her to death if she was my disciple!
"Tian'er, you must remember not to follow this foolish woman's example. What a shameful waste!
"Since she doesn't want it, then let's absorb it
all!"
With that, Shen Tian's dantian emitted a powerful light.
A palm-sized pagoda flew out of Shen Tian's body, transforming into a towering giant pagoda within seconds.
This towering pagoda was covered in a purple aura and exuded a feeling of boundless infinity. One couldn't help but be in awe of it.
The strange thing was that the entire pagoda was covered in blood-red cracks from top to bottom.
These cracks were like blood-red spiderwebs, making one's heart thud with fear.
Bells hanging in the pagoda chimed as the wind blew past.
It was like the sound of weapons clashing as deities battled the demons. The thick smell of blood and slaughter surged through the air.
The moment the pagoda appeared, it instantly attracted the full attention of all the Divine Firmament disciples.
The invincible God of War Pagoda had officially landed on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

Chapter 249 Fang Chang Is Also An Exceptional Prodigy!
Duang!
The towering God of War Pagoda landed on the ground with a huge thump.
With the God of War Pagoda as the center, the surrounding air over a radius of a hundred miles stood still.
The rips in the fabric of space caused by Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' Heavenly Tribulation were immediately mended.
The God of War Pagoda stood proudly between earth and sky, instantly becoming the center of everyone's attention. Everyone's eyes were drawn toward it.
"What a dominant-looking divine pagoda!" "Is this... Senior Brother's treasure?" "Just going by its structure and aura, it must be a supreme-grade Spirit artifact!"
"Spirit artifact? Please don't say such ignorant things! This is at least a middle-grade Saint artifact!"
"I have seen the peak leaders use middle-grade Saint artifacts before. I don't remember them being so powerful. Don't tell me that this is a... Divine artifact!"
Countless Divine Firmament disciples had been focused on Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' ascension to the Saint stage.
After all, the number of Saint-level powerhouses in the entire Eastern Wilderness could more or less be counted on one hand. And every single one of them was a legendary figure.
Most of the cultivators might never get the chance to see someone undergoing a tribulation to become a Saint. It was definitely something that one could boast about having seen in future conversations!
It could be said that about 90% had rushed out to watch Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus undergo the Heavenly Tribulation amongst all the disciples in the Divine Firmament Small World. Only a small percentage were in strict seclusion.
Now, after watching the exciting tribulation process, the appearance of the God of War Pagoda had immediately grabbed everyone's attention.
Everybody was staring at the divine pagoda shrouded in a purple aura. Its powerful presence instantly cleared out the remaining Heavenly Tribulation lightning.
"What the hell!?"
"Where did this lousy pagoda come from? So overbearing!"
Fang Chang had been happily absorbing the lightning and was feeling as blissful as a deity.
In the beginning, he hadn't been willing to practice Decalamity as he was too proud to do so.
In Fang Chang's opinion, he had been fighting with Shen Tian over his Junior Sister's affections. There was no way he would accept Shen Tian's help.
Since Shen Tian had been the one who had helped to find the Decalamity chapter, he would never practice it!
But in the end, Fang Chang had been too greedy and tried to force his way onto the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. He had failed, and his entire dantian had cracked open.
Junior Brother Shen Tian had selflessly given him a large amount of Divine Devouring Vine Nirvana Holy Liquid so that he could recover.
It was solely because of that that Fang Chang had managed to come out of danger. His power had even increased such that he was at a higher level than before.
From that day onward, Fang Chang had been a converted man.
He no longer opposed Shen Tian and started to acknowledge his authority as the Saint.
Since Junior Brother has acknowledged my talents and wants me to practice Decalamity, I shall prove to the entire Eastern Wilderness that even though our Saint is above me, my powers are not below anyone else!
In the future, any enemy who dares to target Junior Brother or challenge him must go through me first! They will only manage to reach Junior Brother over my dead body!
From then on, Fang Chang's desire to become more powerful had grown even stronger!
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' Heavenly Tribulation had been a great opportunity for Fang Chang to practice Decalamity.
He felt that by borrowing the Heavenly Tribulation's power, he could completely stabilize his Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage and establish a perfect foundation.
If he was lucky, he might even be able to better understand the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique during the lightning tribulation and cultivate a Mixed Divine Lightning constitution.
But a purple divine pagoda suddenly appeared out of the blue and absorbed all the surrounding lightning.
Fang Chang was stunned. This rundown, cracked pagoda was too overbearing!
The God of War Pagoda's sudden appearance disrupted the plans of quite a number of folks, including the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. He wanted to carry out a campaign to boost interest before officially announcing to the disciples about the God of War Pagoda.
But since Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus' Heavenly Tribulation had already attracted such a large number of disciples to the scene, it was a pretty good time to make the announcement now.
At this thought, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader slowly appeared in mid-air.
The Sacred Leader shrouded by his lightning and heavenly aura looked very mystical, as if he was a deity who had just descended onto the earth.
He gazed at the disciples.
"Today, our sacred ground welcomes two pieces of good news. "First, Elder Golden Lotus has successfully overcome the tribulation and became a Saint-level elder in our sect. She will be a force to reckon with. Everyone, let us cheer for her!"
All the Divine Firmament disciples immediately straightened their postures.
Every disciple was full of respect and admiration as they cheered, "Congratulations to our new Saint! Hooray!"
Across the five regions and eight wildernesses, a Saint who had overcome a tribulation was considered a top-level practitioner.
Above that would be the Mahayana stage and strictly speaking, cultivators at that stage had already achieved an immortal body and no longer belonged to this world. A Mahayana-stage practitioner could remain in this world for 3,000 years if they didn't use any techniques. But the moment they did, they would be forced to ascend.
As a result, Mahayana-stage cultivators in the five regions and eight wildernesses could not execute any techniques. They could only live as normal human beings.
Of course, Mahayana-stage cultivators possessed an immortal's body and had a lifespan much longer than that of a Saint.
To an immortal, the battles amongst the five regions were rather meaningless.
There was a saying in this world, "Everyone below a Saint is a mere ant. Everything below an immortal is just a fleeting cloud!"
The power struggles in the five regions were basically all driven by Saint-level cultivators.
It was great news for the entire sacred ground that they had a new Saint. It was indeed worth a big celebration.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded, expressing satisfaction with the disciples' actions.
He continued. "Second, our disciples achieved exemplary results during the previous Primordial Battlefield trial.
"Our Saint, Shen Tian, not only achieved first place in the trial, but the supreme God of War Pagoda also acknowledged him.
"Shen Tian has selflessly handed over the pagoda to our sacred ground. From today onward, all disciples from our sect can enter the God of War Pagoda to train.
"In addition, all our disciples will enjoy a 20% discount on the entry fee, while members from the Favored Ones will receive a 30% discount!
"Everyone, let us cheer for our Saint!"
The previous cheer for the new Saint-level powerhouse had been very solemn and serious. They had been cheering for the honor and glory of their sect. Meanwhile, this cheer for Shen Tian was full of excitement and wild enthusiasm. This was because they would be personally benefiting from this!
God of War Pagoda!
It's the God of War Pagoda!
As one of the most mystical and supreme artifacts in the Eastern Wilderness, the God of War Pagoda's reputation spanned far and wide. Everyone had heard of it.
Legend had it that it descended from the Celestial World. The pagoda had the projections of countless Celestial World prodigies and a vast array of legacy techniques.
Over the past 10,000 years, prodigies across the five regions and eight wildernesses who gained fortuitous opportunities from the God of War Pagoda had all become legendary figures.
The oldest one was Huang Shi from 8,000 years ago. He already had a reputation of being indomitable, and his accomplishments continued to amaze the later generations!
The most recent one was Zhang Longyuan from 1,000 years ago. He had since saved the sacred ground from collapse and made it flourish again. It could be said that this was a priceless artifact that had enough power to affect all the major factions across the five regions!
Countless prodigies over the past 10,000 years had gone for the Primordial Battlefield trial in hopes of gaining recognition from the God of War Pagoda. But all had failed.
Slowly, everyone started to call the God of War Pagoda the "Heavenly Gift Fortuitous Opportunity". No one would be able to conquer it.
But what had the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader just said? He had said that this dilapidated pagoda was the God of War Pagoda?
He had also said that the God of War Pagoda had acknowledged Saint as its owner and would be situated in their sacred ground?
In the future, disciples from their own sect would no longer need to risk their lives in the Primordial Battlefield? They could enter the God of War Pagoda anytime they wished to train?
More importantly, the disciples could enjoy a 20% discount while members of the Favored Ones could enjoy a 30% percent discount? This kind of discount was enough to make all the disciples from the other sects drool with envy and desire!
All the Divine Firmament disciples gazed at Shen Tian with adoring eyes.
"Hooray for our Saint!"
"Hooray for our Sacred Saint!!"
"Hooray for our Sacred Saint!!!"
Their voices shook the earth for miles and miles.
Luckily, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, was a wise and sensible person.
If it were another Sacred Leader who had a suspicious and paranoid character, they would have been scared to death. After all, Shen Tian's popularity and status had risen too rapidly. It was nearly surpassing the Sacred Leader himself.
Even Fang Chang and Zhang Yunting, who had been relegated to being the second and third in line to be the Saint, were now cheering with utmost sincerity, especially Fang Chang. He had been very unhappy at this lousy pagoda for stealing his Heavenly Tribulation lightning.
But after knowing that Shen Tian was the one who had brought this pagoda, any displeasure he felt instantly disappeared.
To a robust, battle-addict like Fang Chang, the God of War Pagoda was the perfect treasure.
Where else could he find so many prodigies of the same level to spar with?
Bodhisattva Kuduo was the only one available.
As a result, the two of them were very close.
However, Fang Chang and Kuduo had been fighting each other since a young age and were now extremely familiar with each other's battle tactics.
One of them just had to twitch a muscle, and the other could already predict what move he was going to use. It had become very boring.
With the God of War Pagoda around, they no longer had to grumble about not having any new prodigies to spar with. Fang Chang felt that his life would be very fulfilling from now on.
Haha, he would go and try it later. If it was fun, he would message Kuduo.
Kuduo was still copying sutras and would go green with envy!
"The God of War Pagoda will be situated here from now on. Our sect elders will keep watch over it.
"Anyone who is curious can enter the pagoda now to train. The Pagoda Spirit will explain to you the general rules."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader finished his announcement and looked at Shen Tian.
"Tian'er, come over here."
Shen Tian nodded. He flapped his golden wings and landed beside the Sacred Leader.
The two of them stepped into a door in the air and disappeared.
Meanwhile, the excited Divine Firmament disciples had already been jostling and rushing toward the God of War Pagoda.
Of course, they just stood around the God of War Pagoda to study it. No one dared to enter the pagoda just like that. After all, they still didn't really understand it.
"I have gone into the pagoda to train before. Everyone, no need to be nervous. It is very safe."
Qin Yundi grinned as he narrated his own experience to the crowd.
Song Fugui, Zhao Hao, Liu Taiyi, and the rest endorsed his narration.
A self-contained void?
A God of War Tablet ranking all the prodigies over the past 10,000 years?
One could spar with Celestial World prodigies from all the various powerful races on the God of War platform?
And that vast library of secret legacy techniques, which also contained the untold, long-lost techniques from all the sacred grounds and races? Every single point was extremely attractive to those young disciples. Finally, their First Senior Brother, Fang Chang, was tempted enough to make a move. He donned his reddish-gold armor and stood proudly before the God of War Pagoda with his Fire Dragon Spear in hand. "So this dilapidated pagoda is the legendary God of War Pagoda? One certainly can't judge a book by its cover. "God of War Pagoda, let me enter! I am already at the peak of the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage and can be considered an exceptional prodigy.
"I wish to experience just how powerful these so-called Celestial World prodigies are!
"Let's see if they can defend themselves against my Fire Dragon Spear!"

Chapter 250 Fang Chang VS Seven-Star Prodigy!
Fang Chang had a well-built body, and he stood out from all the other Divine Firmament Sacred Ground disciples.
The look of him in his armor while holding his Dragon Spear had awed the crowd.
He was the First Senior Brother indeed. No one could doubt his courage.
He was so calm and confident even when facing a supreme treasure like the God of War Pagoda and all the past prodigies in the Celestial World.
His confidence was rarely seen in other cultivators, let alone his ability to reach Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.
Everyone believed that Fang Chang would be the one leading the sacred ground if Shen Tian had not appeared.
He was definitely strong enough to compete with any other Saints!
Upon Fang Chang's request, the God of War Pagoda's door opened slowly, and a rainbow color light appeared.
It shone on Fang Chang and led him into the tower.
Zhang Yunting and Zhang Yunxi stood in front of the pagoda too.
"I am Zhang Yunting, Divine Firmament's disciple. I would like to see how strong the prodigies in the Celestial World are. Would the godly pagoda please guide me to enter the
trial?"
"I am Zhang Yunxi, Divine Firmament's disciple. I would like to see how strong the prodigies in the Celestial World are. Would the godly pagoda please guide me to enter the trial?"
The door opened again, and the light enshrouded both of them.
After a few moments, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunxi, and Zhang Yunting appeared on the God of War platform.
They were in different dimensions, and they did not meet one another.
They looked around but did not see anyone.
Then, a soft female voice appeared.
"Young men and lady, welcome to the God of War platform.
"You can fight with the countless prodigies here with no restriction.
"If you beat these prodigies, you can have all kinds of precious heritage mystic arts.
"Even if you lose, the cost will just be some Spirit Stones. It's a very good deal!
"Also, if you guys perform well enough, your name will be carved on the God of War Tablet!"
An azure tablet appeared on the platform in front of the three of them.
There were many famous names on it, and Fang Chang had heard most of them, past Sacred Leaders of Jade Lake, Divine Firmament, some invincible cultivators, some legends who had already reached Immortal Ascension...
Whoever's name was on this tablet, they must have completed something extraordinary in their life.
Unless they met an accident somehow, they would be very successful in life!
Zhang Yunxi looked through the names on the tablet and frowned.
In an unsatisfied tone, she said, "Pagoda Spirit, why is Shen Tian's name not on the list? Is he not good enough for it?"
Not only that, Martial Uncle Azure Lotus was ranked higher than her father? How was that possible?
Of course, Zhang Yunxi was more curious about why Shen Tian was not in the top 100. The female voice laughed and said, "Miss, do you think it's unfair for Shen Tian?
"No worries. Shen Tian had passed the pagoda trial and was deemed to be the only Seven-Star Prodigy in your world.
"It's his decision not to reveal his name on the tablet. The pagoda will respect that.
"Miss, if you manage to be the top 100 on the God Of War List, you can choose to be anonymous too. "However, that will cost 10,000 Spirit Stones." Zhang Yunxi was shocked.
Although the price was not much to her, the amount was beyond imagination.
,000 just for hiding the name? That was so unreasonable!
Zhang Yunxi decided not to bother about it too much as she learned that Shen Tian had been deemed as a Seven Star Prodigy by the pagoda.
She said calmly, "Pagoda Spirit, tell me the rules."
"Alright, listen carefully. "The God of War platform is the core for the God of War Pagoda. The illusion of prodigies in both immortal and human worlds can be created here.
"You can challenge all kinds of prodigies here and gain lots of experience from it.
"After you beat a One-Star Prodigy, you will be rewarded with a one-star cultivation technique and heritage arts based on performance. If you lose, you lose 10 God of War points.
"Beating a Two-Star Prodigy will get you a two-star cultivation technique and heritage arts based on performance. If you lose, you lose 30 God of War points.
IIII
"Four-Star Prodigy, four-star cultivation technique and heritage arts based on performance. If you lose, it will cost 300 God of War points.
"The rewards for subsequent prodigies follow the same rule, but all of them cost 1,000 God of War points if you lose.
"You can redeem God of War points with Spirit Stones, Dharma treasures, and pills. Each point is worth about 10 Spirit Crystals, that's 10,000 Spirit Stones."
Zhang Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "I've read that One-Star Prodigies should cost 100 God of War points instead?"
The female laughed and explained, "The Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, has discussed the cost with us, and this is the result.
"We are doing a favor for the cultivators in the five regions by allowing them to access the tower with a 90% discount!
"Also, since you are the Saintess of Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, you can enjoy a further 50% discount on top of the current promotion!
"This is really a good deal! For a limited time only. Hurry, before you miss the chance!" So I have to thank Junior Brother Shen Tian for the current discount?
Zhang Yunxi blushed. "Alright, thanks for the answer."
Zhang Yunting was also talking to the Pagoda Spirit on the other platform. He carried his exquisite Chinese zither and asked, "Pagoda Spirit, is this kind of battle the only one in the God of War Pagoda?"
The female voice answered, "Yes, young man. Is there a problem?"
Zhang Yunting smiled and said, "Yunting believes that this is not the best strategy for the tower to profit. "The cultivators coming here to train are not likely to have a drastic change in power since they are already considered to be prodigies. "Thus, if they were to constantly lose in the battle, they would eventually lose everything and would not visit here again.
"On the other hand, if they are able to win the battle, they will only be able to choose a maximum of two heritage arts. After that, since there's no more reward, they will not visit the pagoda too."
"Oh? So what's your suggestion?"
Zhang Yunting said confidently, "That's easy. Other than this battle involving gambling, you should set up a different stage for a normal battle.
"The participants will only need to pay a small number of fees to enter this battle and choose the opponent they want.
"If the participants win, the God of War Pagoda will still be able to profit. If they lose, the amount will not be so high that they quit after a few tries.
"As such, many prodigies who lack actual combat experience will treat the pagoda as the best way to improve.
"This will allow the pagoda to have a sustainable operation in the long run, which is much better than the current method."
Ye Qingcang smiled on the seventh floor of the God of War Pagoda and commented, "This guy is witty. "I thought only Tian'er would think of it. Seems like this young lad is smart too."
In fact, Shen Tian had proposed something else other than the routine battle system. He had suggested a 'streaming service' in the pagoda. For example, when Zhang Yunting fought with a prodigy illusion in the God of War Pagoda, he could choose to broadcast it.
As long as others were willing to pay for the show, they could view the entire battle live from within the pagoda. Not only that, but they could also choose to tip the participants.
Would there be people tipping them?
Of course! Although Zhang Yunting was not as popular as Shen Tian, he had quite a number of female fans!
Fans were never rational when they met their idols!
Also, these prodigies from different sacred grounds would have many fans of their own too.
On a normal day, these fans would not have any chance to meet their idols. However, if they could watch them live in action, they would be supporting their idols with money willingly.
Also, Shen Tian suggested having the Image Recording Crystal. The entire battle could be recorded into the crystal.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would have the rights to publish and sell these crystals to whoever was interested. Watching these recordings would be very beneficial for other prodigies too.
Shen Tian believed that many cultivators would spend their money on such items.
It was much more convenient than traveling all the way to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground physically.
The Sacred Leader had mentioned this idea before, and Shen Tian had made some adjustments to it.
If things went well, the sales for the Image Recording Crystals would be insane!
Of course, Shen Tian and Ye Qingcang would not be keeping all the money for themselves.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground played an important role in buying, selling, publishing, after-sale service, and preventing any copyright infringement.
However, the Divine Firmament would not keep all the money for themselves either because only Ye Qingcang could do the recording inside the God of War Pagoda.
Thus, it would be best for both parties to share the revenue.
Ye Qingcang had already started refining some of the pagoda features and had installed some emblems in it.
He did not expect Zhang Longyuan's son to be so smart too. The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was really filled with prodigies.
However, Ye Qingcang preferred people who were not so clever.
Because... they could be cheated easily.
Ye Qingcang shook his head and looked at the third platform.
The participant was the First Senior Brother, Fang Chang. He was fully equipped when he entered the pagoda. He did not realize Shen Tian's name was not on the tablet and did not have any innovative ideas in marketing the pagoda.
The moment he heard the price list, he was very excited. "Challenging a Four-Star Prodigy costs 300 God of War points, and Five Star Prodigy is 1,000? "The cost for six and seven are the same as five?
"So I can fight a Seven-Star Prodigy for the price of a Five-Star one?
"That is so worth it!"
Fang Chang held his Dragon Spear tightly and asked, "Pagoda Spirit, if I lose to the Seven-Star Prodigy, will I die?" The female voice replied, "Nope, the God of War Pagoda will protect you from such cases at all costs. There will be no accident." Fang Chang smiled and took the money out of his ring
"Great, let me meet my opponent!
"I really want to see how strong this Seven-Star Prodigy is!"
Ye Qingcang smiled happily.
See, it is really easy to get money from people who are not so bright!
After exchanging the items he got from the experiential journey, Fang Chang's God of War points increased quickly. As a cultivator with great providence, Fang Chang had encountered many fortuitous opportunities in the past. Soon, his God of War points reached 1000, and the challenge with Seven Star Prodigy began.
Soon, the illusion of the opponent appeared.
Fang Chang rushed forward with his Dragon Spear.
After three seconds, 1,000 God of War points were deducted from Fang Chang...

Chapter 251 Little Rascal, Huang Shi!
Fang Chang was sitting on the God of War platform, utterly stunned. At this point, he was having some doubts about life.
Three seconds...
How could it end so fast?
He had never been so fast before!
He hadn't even felt the thrill of the battle, and it already ended?
That was a whole 10,000 Spirit Stones. To a normal cultivator, this was a staggering number.
Even for a prodigy like Fang Chang, who had gained quite a bit from his fortuitous opportunities in the mystic realms and battle experiences, his entire fortune totaled less than 100,000 Spirit Stones. And he had already used most of it for his own cultivation.
After all, the more a prodigy cared about establishing a good foundation for his cultivation, the more resources they would have to spend!
Currently, the value of the precious treasures on Fang Chang, apart from his supreme-grade armor and dragon spear, could be valued at only about 30,000 Spirit Stones.
One-third of Fang Chang's fortune had been swiped clean in just a mere three seconds.
He could barely breathe from the heartache of it.
At that moment, the Pagoda Spirit's girlish voice rang out.
"Young prodigy, please don't be disheartened.
"A Seven Star Prodigy is a high-ranked position even in the Celestial World. With no heavenly aura on earth to nourish yourself, it is very difficult to defend yourself against him.
"It is already a rare achievement that you were able to hold on for three seconds against the frenzied attack of this Seven-Star Prodigy. You are a rare talent on earth.
"As a sign of our encouragement, we will heal your injuries this time, free of charge.
"May I know if you wish to continue trying?"
A warm feeling crept across Fang Chang's heart at the soothing sound of the Pagoda Spirit's voice.
She is even offering to heal my injuries for free. Is it to encourage me to stand up and fight again?
Fang Chang had been feeling somewhat dispirited but was now standing once again on the God of War platform. The dragon spear in his hand glowed.
He said proudly, "Never mind. A Seven-Star Prodigy from the Celestial World is indeed very powerful."
"But I didn't get the chance to display my own abilities earlier. Otherwise, I would have definitely survived his attack.
"But I admit I am not ready to face a Seven-Star Prodigy now. Only Junior Brother Shen Tian would be able to hold himself against one."
Fang Chang poured out more treasures out of his interspatial ring with an aching heart. He thought about it for a moment before saying, "Well... Let me challenge a Six-Star Prodigy this time!"
The Pagoda Spirit's voice rang out. "Young man, you are indeed brave and possess a high fighting spirit. I am very touched by your actions!
"As a sign of our appreciation for your fearless attitude, you can choose the parameters of your next opponent."
Fang Chang was taken aback. "Choose the parameters of my next opponent? What do you mean by that?"
The Pagoda Spirit explained, "On the God of War platform, everyone's battle style and abilities would be recorded and become a projection.
"As a result, not only does the God of War platform have the projections of Celestial World prodigies, but it also has the prodigies from your world.
"The pagoda can make a one-time exception to let you choose whether to challenge a Celestial World prodigy or a prodigy from your own world."
The Pagoda Spirit's explanation was very direct and to-the-point.
Fang Chang couldn't help feeling tempted. "The Celestial World prodigies are indeed very powerful.
"But against a prodigy from my own world-I am already a Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage cultivator—there's no one too fearsome for me!"
Fang Chang snorted before he replied, "In that case, I will challenge a Six-Star Prodigy from my world! Bring it on!"
The God of War points rose to 1,000 again. A figure gradually formed on the God of War platform.
Fang Chang was stunned when he saw who that figure was.
It was not because the projection was anything scary. It was because... it was a little kid.
Yes, his new opponent was a little boy.
He was about five to six years old, with exquisite features. Dressed in an animal skin outfit, he looked rather cute.
Any female who saw him would definitely scoop him up into her arms.
Fang Chang was utterly dumbfounded.
What the hell!?
I am an eight feet tall grown man who is upright and noble, but you have paired me with such a little kid. Are you kidding me?
Even if this little kid stretched out his tiny hands, he would not be able to reach my knees!
Even if I win, it will be an embarrassment!
Fang Chang felt very exasperated. "Pagoda Spirit, I really can't-".
Before he could finish his sentence, the little boy interrupted. "Human, you are substandard." The little boy vanished right after he made that remark.
So fast!
Fang Chang's face changed.
He might be mistaken, but he felt like this little kid moved so fast that even his eyes could not keep up!
I have underestimated this little rascal.
Fang Chang's heart constricted. He quickly swung his Fire Dragon Spear at the kid.
He didn't stab straight at the boy because a swinging attack would cover a larger area and offer him a higher chance of making contact with his opponent.
A second reason was that this kid might be terrifyingly powerful, but he was still extremely adorable.
Fang Chang was a big, burly grown man and really couldn't bear to stab this cute little boy.
Swoosh!
As his Fire Dragon Spear swept across the platform, the entire space erupted in a sea of flames.
The kid emitted a dazzling glow, completely shrugging aside the flames and the spear.
At the same time, the boy jumped nimbly into the air as if he was a spirit monkey.
He grabbed the Fire Dragon Spear and scampered along it straight toward Fang Chang.
The spear was a long-range weapon, and this was the best way to negate its effectivenessget as close as possible to the opponent!
"Back off!"
Fang Chang tossed his spear aside and performed some hand seals to bring out his Divine Lightning armor. It covered his entire body. This was a Qilin armor formed by the Earth Element Qilin Divine Lightning. It was ranked middle of the five divine beasts and had the power to protect.
Amongst the Five Elements Divine Lightning, the Earth Element Qilin Divine Lightning was the most equalizing. It was especially good for dispelling all sorts of energies. Although its defensive capabilities were below that of the Black Tortoise Armor, it was still powerful enough to counteract most attacks.
In his previous battle, Fang Chang didn't have time to bring out his Qilin Divine Lightning armor to complement his reddish-gold battle gear.
Even though his opponent had been a Seven-Star Prodigy, Fang Chang couldn't possibly be so lousy that he was defeated in just three seconds!
He should have been able to last at least... 10 to 18 seconds!
Clad in double armor, Fang Chang lifted one leg and swung it like a whip toward the kid. At this point, Fang Chang had decided to treat this opponent seriously.
After all, this little rascal might look very adorable, but his battle prowess was extremely formidable.
Faced with such a fellow, he would only suffer a major loss if he dared to let down his guard.
Just as Fang Chang's muscular leg was about to strike, the boy leaped into the air to dodge the kick.
Following that, he gave a vicious punch right on Fang Chang's knee.
At the same time, leveraging on the power of that movement, the kid swung himself behind Fang Chang A dark gold divine pattern glowed upon his palms, transforming into a square-shaped seal.
This seal was shrouded in divine light. One look, and you could immediately tell that it was something out of the ordinary. But the boy handled it like it was nothing.
Duang!
The square-shaped seal smacked itself right onto the back of Fang Chang's head. Even with the double protection of his Qilin Divine Lightning armor and his reddish-gold armor, Fang Chang still felt rather woozy from the impact.
He was seeing stars everywhere...
For a moment there, this big, burly man started to have doubts about his life.
Who is this little rascal?
Why is he so powerful?

Chapter 252 The Legend Of Huang Shi
Fang Chang was sitting on the God of War platform, completely stunned.
Three minutes...
How could it end so fast?
Also, it was not a three-minute battle, but a one-sided battle of that little rascal beating Fang Chang up until protruding lumps were formed on his head.
The moment that square seal hit the back of Fang Chang's head, Fang Chang felt as if his divine consciousness could not be used anymore.
Everything in front of him turned blurry, and he could only hear drumming sounds in his ears.
It was obvious that the square seal was extremely special, as it had the ability to directly attack the soul of cultivators.
After being hit by the square seal, Fang Chang had completely lost any advantages he had and was beat up by that little rascal for three minutes.
In the end, it was the kind-hearted pagoda spirit that could not bear looking at Fang Chang's plight, so it stopped the trial and ended Fang Chang's suffering.
However, huge lumps still appeared on Fang Chang's head one after the other.
If he had worn a monk's robe, others might even believe that he was a Buddha from paradise.
"Such a fierce little rascal, just who the heck is he?"
Fang Chang ground his teeth as he put on medicine to his head, letting out groans of pain as he did so.
The God of War Pagoda had already healed him once, so if he wanted it to heal him again, he would now need to pay the cost. Fang Chang felt that he should not waste God of War points for such a minor injury as it was more important to save them to pass the trials. The Pagoda Spirit's voice echoed. "Young prodigy, why not look at the tablet on your right?"
Fang Chang then realized that there was a God of War Tablet floating on his right.
There were names carved on the tablet, and Fang Chang had heard of quite a few before.
"First: Huang Shi, Six Star- Prodigy" "Second: Bei Chenxuan, Five-Star Prodigy" "Third: Yao Yuxi, Five-Star Prodigy" "4th: Chu Longhe, Five-Star Prodigy"
"10th: Kong Meng, Five-Star Prodigy"
"11th: Ye Mitian, Five-Star Prodigy"
Fang Chang looked at the God of War Tablet carefully from the first to the 100th at the most bottom.
"I've finished looking at it, then?
"Why do you always like to leave someone hanging, I am asking,"
Wait a minute!
Fang Chang seemed to have recalled something. He hurriedly took a look at the highest name on the God of War Tablet. Huang Shi!?
That little rascal was the young Huang Shi!?
I actually had the honor to battle and learn from the young Huang Shi?
If I were to tell others, just how many geniuses would envy me! It's worth it, even losing 1,000 God of War points is worth it!
Fang Chang was no longer upset as Huang Shi was a legendary figure among young geniuses.
Huang Shi was born over 8,000 years ago, the period when Evil Spirits from the outside had been defeated and sent retreating. The five regions and eight wildernesses had been undergoing troubled, chaotic times fraught with danger.
Back then, powerful evil spirits had been lurking everywhere in the five regions, while plenty of cultivators pretended to be the Evil Spirit Sect's remnants to commit evils.
Moreover, many sects had consumed most of their resources, and their number had decreased in their fight against the Evil Spirit Sect.
Since the Evil Spirit Sect had been defeated, the sects started fighting to obtain benefits. Many sects had been destroyed as a result.
Anyway, the whole five regions had fallen into chaos.
In that age of unrest, countless peerless geniuses had appeared.
Huang Shi was also an absolutely invincible existence even back then.
He was born in an ordinary tribe in the Great Wilderness. As a lithopedion, he had been treated as an ill omen and thrown onto the ground.
In the end, the stone surface had broken and revealed a baby within. The baby had been so pretty and pure-he had not cried nor made a fuss and looked extremely cute.
What had made all the members of the tribe surprised was that there was a bronze seal the size of a pigeon egg hung around the baby's neck.
When the baby smiled, that bronze seal would actually shine faintly with a golden light, it was extremely extraordinary.
As a lithopedion and a treasure accompanying him, he was fated to become extraordinary and matchless.
It's just that the tribe Huang Shi had been born was just simply too remote, almost completely isolated from the outer world.
Therefore, no matter how miraculous his birth had been, it had not attracted any attention from the outer world.
As Huang Shi started growing and turned older, all the more that he seemed different from normal people.
At the age of one year old, he could walk as if on wings and even carry boulders that even adults found difficult.
He had yet to wean at three years old, but his mother had not had any breast milk anymore. Thus Huang Shi had entered the depths of the mountain to search for beasts like tigers or wolves.
The beasts in the Great Wilderness were extremely fierce and brutal, and there was no lack of beasts a step away from becoming demonic beasts through absorbing essence from the sun and moon.
Meanwhile, the 3-year-old Huang Shi had actually subdued those female tigers and leopards by beating them up.
He had finally had his fill of milk while hugging the female tigers' and leopards' breasts.
Meanwhile, in that process, Huang Shi had also come in contact with these beasts' breathing techniques.
It would be difficult for ordinary people to even sense Qi while following a cultivation method, but this world did not lack talented geniuses.
Huang Shi had started to cultivate just like this by relying on the beasts' breathing techniques.
After leaving the Great Wilderness, he had entered various sects and experienced countless trials in mystic realms.
Due to the troubled times and being a peerless talent, it was inevitable that others would covet Huang Shi. He had been recruited by many along the way, villains had coveted him, others had risked their lives to save him, and some of his comrades had died.
However, he had successfully reached the top and became a Saint by transcending the tribulation at the age of 100, breaking the five regions' record.
What was more astonishing was that his Heavenly Tribulation had sent 81 lightning strikes, which occurred only once in a blue moon.
Although Huang Shi had survived the tribulation and turned even stronger, more and more people had tried to assassinate them.
In the end, he would become more powerful with each battle and form rivers of blood.
A Perfected Immortal evil spirit from the outside had also been completely annihilated by Huang Shi's Sky-Overturning seal down to its soul.
From then, no one had dared to question his invincible strength and authority in the whole five regions.
Afterward, he had built the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty and Jixia Academy in Middle Grounds, where everyone could join.
It could be said that 7,000 years ago, Huang Shi was already the five regions' uncrowned
king.
Currently, after 7,000 years had passed, no one knew just how powerful he had become.
However, the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty's status had always been above the various sacred grounds in the past 5,000 years. Meanwhile, the Jixia Academy that Huang Shi had created also allied with the various major sacred grounds, becoming the promised sacred ground which geniuses dreamed of entering.
Anyway, Huang Shi's existence was the absolute legend, and no one in the five regions did not admire him.
To be able to have a battle with young Huang Shi and even be beaten up more than 100 times, that was just too memorable for Fang Chang!
"Pagoda Spirit, Pagoda Spirit, can I fight with Huang Shi again?" Fang Chang asked with anticipation as he touched the lumps on his head.
Ye Qingcang was completely stunned on the seventh floor of the God of War Pagoda.
Did this fool go crazy from getting hit in the head? He wants to get beaten up again?
"Why?"
Fang Chang's eyes were burning with passion as he said, "That's because Huang Shi is the beacon of my life, he is my model. I hope to be able to fight with the young him again to appreciate how heroic and powerful Senior is!"
Ye Qingcang seemed to be deep in thought. "So he's an admirer of that kid?"
Had Fang Chang not explained, Ye Qingcang would be in the dark.
You want to have intimate contact with your idol?
Of course it's possible!
But, it'll cost extra!

Chapter 253 Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' Staff Technique
Two times?
Fang Chang was dumbstruck by the pagoda spirit's price.
"Why do I need to pay double to challenge Huang Shi?"
Although Fang Chang loved to battle, he was no fool.
This was the projection of Huang Shi in his youth. How could he possibly match up to him?
Don't be fooled into thinking that a Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage cultivator was all that. In front of Huang Shi, he was just a fleeting cloud.
Thousands of years ago, there had been a Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage prodigy in Middle Ground who had arrogantly challenged the Jixia Academy's authority.
The Jixia Academy had sent out a Golden Body Eight Refinement Stage cultivator who had completely pulverized that arrogant prodigy.
His golden core had been shattered to bits.
It was rumored that the Golden Body Eight Refinement Stage cultivator was Huang Shi's in-name disciple.
A Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage cultivator could indeed be touted as a prodigy gifted by the heavens and a rare sight in the Eastern Wilderness.
The emergence of a Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage cultivator might occur only once every few hundred years across the entire five regions. But in front of Huang Shi, this was nothing to boast about! Fang Chang knew that if he fought with that boy again, he would once again suffer a terrible defeat.
Spend money to be beaten up? And double the previous amount? Does it mean I will be beaten up twice as badly?
What kind of reasoning was that?
Fang Chang didn't understand. The Pagoda Spirit explained. "According to the rules, all battles are random.
"The God of War Pagoda has its own rules. I already spent a lot of resources to help you get your chosen opponent for the previous battle.
"I cannot break the rules again for you. If you wish to challenge Huang Shi again, you have to bet double the amount.
"You just need to successfully beat Huang Shi, and these 2,000 God of War points will be returned to you." That's right. If I can beat Huang Shi, I will be able to get back those God of War points...
Fang Chang's face fell. As if he could ever beat Huang Shi!
Humiliating, just humiliating!
He thought he was some top-level prodigy just because he had managed to reach the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.
But he couldn't even beat a five-year-old Huang Shi!
I don't deserve to be Divine Firmament's First Senior Brother!
"I think I better challenge a Five-Star Prodigy first!"
While rubbing his tired eyes, this big, burly man decided to face up to reality and take a step back. Double the betting amount? He truly couldn't afford it!
Upon seeing that Fang Chang didn't take the bait, Ye Qingcang, who was on the seventh floor of the God of War Pagoda, couldn't help feeling rather scornful. Ai, he's a fake fan!
Are you still considered a fan if you are unwilling to spend money on your idol? Don't you feel embarrassed at all?
You want to challenge a Five-Star Prodigy? Alright, I will give you a good one!
"Alright, pairing a Five-Star Prodigy..."
"Pairing successful. Battle begins!"
Following that, the light on the God of War platform dimmed, and a youth in his 20s appeared in front of Fang Chang.
The youth had a long staff behind him and was shrouded in golden lightning. His fiery aura rose high into the skies.
Fang Chang saw a vaguely familiar face through the flashing lightning.
"Eh, is this Martial Uncle Azure Lotus?"
A pleased expression crossed Fang Chang's face.
"I am pretty lucky! If I can beat up Martial Uncle on this platform and record it down for Master to watch, he will be very pleased.
"Perhaps he won't ever make me copy the rule book again as a punishment. But... I thought that Martial Uncle doesn't practice lightning arts? I thought that he only focused on cultivating his physical body?" "This Martial Uncle is shrouded in golden divine lightning, and his aura feels so familiar."
Suddenly, Fang Chang caught a glimpse of the God of War Tablet out of the corner of his eye. He noticed the name on the fifth position.
Wait a minute! Why is Martial Uncle Azure Lotus' name in fifth place?
It must be pointed out that even his Master hadn't managed to break into the top five!
Oh no!
A deep sense of foreboding crept over his heart.
The youth had already drawn out the golden staff behind him.
"If I, Chu Longhe, had not been born, the way of the staff would be shrouded in darkness! Under my mighty staff, all will tremble and moan in fear!"
Lightning crackled and flashed all around the youth before forming a dazzling battle armor.
He suddenly disappeared from the spot and reappeared a second later above Fang Chang's head. His golden divine staff came swinging down.
"Experience my Supreme Ocean Staff: Yellow Dragon Attack!"
Roar
A dragon's roar echoed through the skies. A golden divine dragon shot out of the staff, going straight for Fang Chang with teeth bared and claws out.
Its aura was so magnificent that Fang Chang felt like he was faced with a real dragon. His entire body was completely suppressed.
Chu Longhe's powers were far beyond Fang Chang's estimations. This Martial Uncle of his was actually so strong when he was young!
Sparks flew as his Fire Dragon Spear barely blocked the force of the staff.
Chu Longhe then swung his staff around in some intricate patterns, launching wave after wave of attacks.
The air was filled with the afterimages of the swinging staff.
"Supreme Ocean Staff: Sky-Propping Pillar!
"Supreme Ocean Staff: Yellow Dragon Attack!
"Supreme Ocean Staff: Overturning Seas And Rivers!
"Supreme Ocean Staff: Domination Over A Thousand Armies!
"Supreme Ocean Staff: Prevailing Over All!"
In the hands of the projection, the golden divine staff exhibited a mind-blowing power.
Move after move, the staff was agile and powerful.
Every single attack was a heavy blow to Fang Chang. Intense vibrations shot through his entire body. Cracks had even appeared on his Fire Dragon Spear.
"Young prodigy, stay strong! The skill difference between you and Chu Longhe is not insurmountable!
"As long as you can beat him, you will have the right to choose your favored legacy technique.
"This Supreme Ocean Staff is a five-star legacy technique in the God of War Pagoda. If you beat this projection, you will have the right to learn it!"
Fang Chang felt warm all over upon hearing the Pagoda Spirit's words of encouragement His fighting spirit was renewed and surged through his body.
He defended himself from the young Martial Uncle's frenzied attack, resolutely bracing his spear against the blows. Thereafter... the attacks grew even more vicious!
Ye Qingcang smiled at the scene.
He was being beaten to a pulp but refused to give up. Was this what it was like to be young? So touching!
Some popcorn and snacks would be great at this moment.
Ai, I wonder what Tian'er is up to now.
Ye Qingcang stroked his beard. To be honest, he was not that interested in most of the prodigies in this world. Those prodigies were nothing if placed in the Celestial World. To Ye Qingcang, watching them battle was just a way to pass his time.
In Ye Qingcang's opinion, the number of exceptional prodigies that had caught his eye over the past 10,000 years could be counted in one hand.
Amongst them was Shen Tian, who was as handsome as he had been in his youth. This Shen Tian was naturally the focal point of his attention.
Ye Qingcang sighed. He did kind of missed Tian'er now that he was not around.
"Ahchoo!"
A sudden sneeze rang out in the Divine Firmament Tribulation Valley.
This was the most mysterious part of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the core of the region.
th
Lightning flashed across this valley all year round. But it was just ordinary lightning.
Even so, if one was lucky, they might see other rare types of lightning. They might even see the legendary Five Elements Divine Lightning or the Mixed Divine Lightning. When Zhang Longyuan was still a disciple, he had obtained a Mixed Divine Lightning power source at this very place.
If not for that, it would have been very difficult for him to achieve his Mixed Divine Lightning Constitution during a time when the Decalamity chapter was lost.
But Zhang Longyuan had brought Shen Tian to the Tribulation Valley today not to find rare types of divine lightning. It was for something else.
It concerned the Evil Spirit Sect Saint!

Chapter 254 The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader Keeps Vibrating
"Tian'er, how was your experience with the previous battlefield trial?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice rang out from within his lightning and heavenly aura. He sounded very placid and emotionless.
But his question itself showed deep concern, and Shen Tian's heart warmed.
He bowed. "Thank you, Master, for your concern. The trial went very smoothly." The Sacred Leader said, "I heard that you were the first to discover those Evil Spirit sect disciples in this trial. You also disrupted their plans to resurrect the Evil Spirit Sect?
"Do you mind telling me how you disrupted their plans? But if it's not convenient for you to do so, you can choose not to tell me.
"After all, it is very normal for a young man to have some secrets. I can understand." Shen Tian was taken aback. He decided to think of some story to gloss things over. He spoke up. "Since Master is asking, I will definitely tell you everything.
"Actually, I was not the one who discovered those Evil Spirit sect disciples. It was Zhang San and the rest who encountered them during their training and were kidnapped.
"They sent a message out to Junior Brother Yundi right before they were captured. That is how we were able to turn up and rescue them."
The Sacred Leader nodded. "You have done very well.
"According to current reports, those Evil Spirit sect disciples infiltrated the Primordial Battlefield for the goal of resurrecting the Evil Spirit Lord that was previously trapped in the battlefield.
"It was a very powerful Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit. If resurrected, it would have destroyed all living beings in Eastern Wilderness.
"Luckily, you found out in time, and the Eastern Wilderness managed to avoid a total bloodbath.
"You just joined the trial on a whim and managed to disrupt such a major plan by the Evil Spirit Sect. "Tian'er, you are indeed the Son of Providence gifted by the heavens to the sacred ground. "I'm very happy, Tian'er!"
Shen Tian blushed slightly. "Master, you are too kind. It's... all because Master has taught me well."
The Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura rippled gently. "You don't need to be modest in front of me. Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus have interrogated the Evil Spirit sect members over the past few days, but every one of them has a special memory lock in their minds. The moment we touch their most core secrets, their divine consciousness will self-implode.
"As a result, our interrogations have not yielded much. We only managed to confirm the locations of about a dozen of their less important bases. "One of these bases is in your Country of Fire.
"Those scattered bases are already under the surveillance of Divine Firmament's and Jade Lake's disciples. If not for the fact that we are worried about alarming them too early, the two sacred grounds can ambush them anytime."
Shen Tian nodded. "Master is wise. All of us have a responsibility to fight against the Evil Spirit Sect. Can I do anything to help?" The Sacred Leader said calmly, "It is good that you have the drive to get rid of evil. But your cultivation level is still not high enough yet.
"The Evil Spirit sect disciples will not adhere to the principles of fairness and mutual respect. In their world, only the strong will prevail.
"You already have a powerful reputation in the Eastern Wilderness. If the Evil Spirit Sect takes note of you, you might be targeted by their Saint.
"Before you manage to attain a high enough level, I want you to be careful. Don't put yourself in danger. It is best if you can keep a low profile and not do anything too extraordinary.
"I also kept a low profile during my time and managed to come of age and reach my full potential because of that. Otherwise, I might have already been assassinated by countless Saint-level powerhouses."
Send their Saints to deal with me?
The corners of Shen Tian's lips twitched.
Are they really that shameless?
I am now only at the Golden Body realm.
I might be able to defeat most Nascent Soul level cultivators, but it would be enough for them to send a Soul Formation Heavenly Venerable to attack me. I might still have a chance to flee then.
Perhaps I might even encounter some fortuitous opportunities during my escape and make a counterattack.
Asking a Saint-level powerhouse to take action against me—that's like attacking a mosquito with a cannon!
Although Shen Tian had managed to successfully escape from the red-robed Sect Master previously, it was all due to luck. The red-robed Sect Master had underestimated Shen Tian and tried to brainwash him into joining his sect instead of attacking him seriously right from the start.
If not for that, Shen Tian would have been in serious danger and might not have had the time to tunnel into the ground then.
Indeed, I am not strong enough now and need to be more cautious.
At this thought, Shen Tian replied timidly, "I will take to heart Master's advice."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader patted Shen Tian on the shoulder.
"Of course, this is just my own experience.
"To a normal prodigy, keeping a low profile is the safest way. But you are the Son of Providence, protected by the heavens.
"So if you prefer not to keep a low profile, you can continue about your way. There is no need for you to worry about some powerful hidden foe.
"Have a little faith. As long as your providence is high enough, you will be fine no matter what dangerous circumstances you find yourself in.
"The heavens will protect you."
Shen Tian couldn't help feeling exasperated as he looked at Zhang Longyuan and his rippling aura.
How many times must I say this? I am really not the Son of Providence!
Never mind. I will just try my best to be more careful in the future!
Otherwise, it would be quite tragic if I was smacked to death by their Saints.
Shen Tian asked respectfully, "Did Master specially summon me here to tell me this?"
The Sacred Leader shook his head. "Of course not. Tian'er, I hope to gain a general understanding of how you found the Evil Spirit Lord. This might prove very helpful when I interrogate the red-robed Sect Master and the rest. Will it be convenient for you to tell me?"
General understanding of how I found the Evil Spirit Lord? Shen Tian frowned slightly. That would reveal how I attained the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk!
Shen Tian found this very difficult to answer!
Shen Tian's mind started spinning with ideas.
"Alright, I don't dare to keep things from Master anyway. "To be honest, I have a special ability. I can vaguely detect the presence of any nearby precious artifacts and fortuitous opportunities.
"It is like some kind of instinctive gut feeling. It doesn't happen that often but the accuracy is very high. I have almost never been wrong.
"I managed to find the First Essence Heavy Water, Nirvana Holy Liquid, and Feather Immortal Metal all because of this special sense.
"Back in the Primordial Battlefield, I could vaguely feel the presence of some treasure in the Dark Yin Plain. That was why I set forth to check it out. "But at the borders of that plain, I was blocked by thick Dark Yin Energy and didn't dare to just barge in to investigate.
"Thereafter, I gained the acknowledgment of the God of War Pagoda, and only with that trump card in my pocket did I dare to venture in again.
"In the end, I discovered the seal of the Evil Spirit Lord in the center of that plain."
What? The special ability to detect the presence of nearby precious artifacts and fortuitous opportunities? How is it that Tian'er possesses such a remarkable talent!?
On top of that, Tian'er was willing to truthfully share such a major secret with me?
The Sacred Leader's aura rippled intensely after he listened to Shen Tian's explanation.
Touched, I am truly very touched!
The Sacred Leader had read many miraculous stories about the Sons of Providence. One of them was that they all had special abilities.
They had the ability to help a deceased powerful practitioner be reborn into the body of a normal person, thus opening a new legendary chapter in life.
They had the ability to obtain powerful divine weapons and leverage upon their power to rise again. Some even had the ability to make contracts with old grandfathers, whom they could bring along anywhere they wanted. Old grandfathers who would devotedly guide them and help them in their cultivation.
Anyway, most Sons of Providence had their own special abilities. And most of them would never reveal it to anyone.
Shen Tian's special ability was obviously more powerful than those other Sons of Providence. He could actually sense the presence of nearby fortuitous opportunities! In just a few short months, Shen Tian had managed to gather all five extraordinary items because of this special skill.
Was this an extraordinary talent or what? It was enough to drive one mad with envy!
Tian'er actually told me such a major secret. If this isn't a sign of trust, nothing else is! So I am such a reliable and trustworthy Master in Tian'er's heart? I am so touched! At this point, the Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura were vibrating intensely. The ripples were moving as vigorously as a breakdancer doing "the worm".
It took quite some time before the Sacred Leader's aura finally calmed down.
He looked at Shen Tian in all seriousness. "Apart from me, who else knows about your special ability?" Shen Tian shook his head. "No one else."
In the past, when he had to bluff his way through, he had lied to say he was able to look into the future.
But for the Sacred Leader, this reason didn't seem like something that would get past him. As a result, Shen Tian had thought of a new tale.
But the Sacred Leader was not thinking about that at all.
So I am the first to know?
Tian'er didn't even tell his own parents and siblings? But he told me?
The Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura started to vibrate wildly again.
The Sacred Leader patted Shen Tian on the shoulder.
"This is a serious matter. Don't tell anyone else."
Shen Tian nodded. "I understand."
The Sacred Leader nodded. "In the future, even after you get together with Yunxi, it is better not to tell her either."
Shen Tian, "..."
Shen Tian replied, "Yes, Master. I will never tell anyone else."
The Sacred Leader nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Follow me now. We will go take a look at those Evil Spirit sect disciples! "In another 100 years, I will hand over the title of the Sacred Leader. I hope that you will get more powerful as soon as possible. "Not just in terms of cultivation, but also management and strategic planning.
"Today will be a great opportunity for you to learn."
With that, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader executed some hand seals and formed a doorway in space.
The two of them stepped through it and appeared in a world created entirely by lightning
A red-robed man was hanging in the center of this world, completely bound by chains.
These chains were forged by the purest Mixed Divine Lightning-completely unbreakable and best for restraining Evil Spirit Sect members. In addition, lines of golden scriptures glowed on the red-robed Sect Master's skin, completely sealing off his powers as a Saint-level practitioner. It was clear that as a Saint-level cultivator, the Sect Master was enjoying the VIP treatment.
Chains: Check
Seal: Check
Lightning Bolts: Check
Everything was arranged to a tee.
A lightning whip would lash out now and then, the sound crisp and clear!
The red-robed Sect Master smirked when he saw the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Shen Tian appear.
"No need to waste your breath. I won't tell you anything. I am completely loyal to my sect. Even if you whip me 3,000 times, I will — Ah
"Never tell you anything. Whatever cruel torture methods you have, go ahead and use it on me— Ah
"Bring it on! Ah, Ah- Ah-"
Shen Tian was speechless as he watched the lightning whip lash out at the red-robed Sect Master.
What kind of R-rated evil technique did this guy practice?
Why does he not seem to feel any pain when lashed by the lightning whip? In fact, he looks like he is... enjoying it?
Can this kind of interrogation yield any results?

Chapter 255 Jade Lake's Sacred Leader Visits Divine Firmament
Eastern Wilderness, at the Jade Lake Sacred Ground...
In the Sacred Leader Palace, a fine gauze barrier ran around the palace's center.
A graceful figure could be seen lying lazily on a throne with rays of light shining on it through the fine gauze.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Xiao Ling were standing in front of the throne and reporting the situation to the Jade Lake Sacred Leader.
"You mean the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, has passed the God of War Pagoda's test?"
The lady's voice behind the fine gauze was cold and ethereal as if she was a goddess from heaven, which swayed one's heart, but no one would dare to disrespect her.
This person was the Jade Lake Sacred Leader, one of the most powerful women in Eastern Wilderness.
Given her status, strength, and talent, countless mighty figures would give precedence to her. Many Sacred Leaders and elders of the 12 sacred grounds were the Jade Lake Sacred Leader's admirers when they were young and infatuated with her.
Even now, they were still obsessively concerned with her.
It could be said that the Jade Lake Sacred Leader might not be the most powerful Sacred Leader in Eastern Wilderness, but she was definitely one of the Sacred Leaders that definitely should not be offended.
If someone really provoked her, then that person might be beaten by a group of Saint-level powerhouses to a pulp someday.
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance walked up and said, "Yes, according to reliable sources, Shen Tian has already handed the God of War Pagoda to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, and they will allow everyone in the five regions to visit it."
The Jade Lake Sacred Leader smiled and said, "Zhang Longyuan has really picked up a treasure. He's able to bring so many benefits to the sacred ground in only a few months."
Jade Lake and Divine Firmament were close in proximity and always had an intimate relationship. Many of their members had also become Dao companions. Therefore, once something happened in Divine Firmament, Jade Lake would always know at the first moment.
Conversely, if there was any gossip in Jade Lake, the Divine Firmament's disciples would also know quickly.
The Jade Lake Sacred Leader had also heard rumors about the Divine Firmament Saint, and most of the rumors depicted him as quite the miraculous man.
Before entering the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he had found the forbidden chapter of the Lightning Imperial Sutra, which had been lost for 10,000 years.
Just this merit alone was enough for Shen Tian to leave his name on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Merit List.
Immediately after, that kid had plundered the den of a Vine Demon that nearly became a Saint-level powerhouse in the Fog Plain and reaped bountiful gains. He had even helped Xiao Ling find the Celestial Water Cave Abode.
In just a few short months, this kid had never stopped encountering fortuitous opportunities.
Even when compared to that kid, Qi Shaoxuan, from the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground, Shen Tian did not pale in comparison at all.
Such a disciple really made others envious!
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance continued. "Also, evil cultivators from the Evil Spirit Sect snuck into the Primordial Battlefield this time.
"Rumors say that they aimed to revive the Evil Spirit Lord a step away from Immortal Ascension that was sealed by the Reincarnation Sacred Leader 10,000 years ago. The Divine Firmament Saint thwarted their plan.
"What's even more coincidental is that the Divine Firmament Saint's teleportation talisman malfunctioned when he was in the process of teleporting back to the sect town.
"He directly teleported to the valley where the Evil Spirit Sect's Sage Blood Kill was hidden and exposed him.
"If not, it would have been difficult to discover them with their concealment methods."
The Jade Lake's Sacred Leader stretched and slowly got up from her throne.
"It can't be that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will prosper because of him? Frankly speaking, I'm a little interested in this young man.
"Since the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had obtained such a treasure as the neighboring sacred ground, I naturally have to personally congratulate them and take a look."
The fine gauze barrier was unveiled, and a gorgeous figure walked out from within. She was dignified and had a heavenly aura around her. She wore a face veil so her face could not be seen clearly, but that made her all the more mysterious.
"Junior Sister Scarlet Dance, call Junior Sister Snow Dance and Junior Sister Spirit Fog to visit the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground together."
At the mountain behind Grand White Grotto-Heaven...
Li Changge was still practicing swordsmanship underneath the waterfall, and Supremacy Zi Yang was also beside him.
A middle-aged man stood upright beside the waterfall, and his whole body was emitting swift and fierce sword intent.
"Faster, swing faster!
"All sword techniques are all imaginary falsity to a swordsman, only by becoming faster, stronger, and sharper is the road to victory!
"Shen Ao actually missed the chance to be taught by me to spend time with his brother. He does not deserve my teaching.
"You must not learn from him! You need to know that the way of the sword is like sailing against the current, one must persevere till the end!"
Supremacy Zi Yang started complaining incessantly, I have already brought back Lian'er, but never did I expect that she would cause a racket as she wanted to go and find Shen Tian.
Senior Brother Long River flew into a rage and directly punished Lian'er to face the wall and plant the calabash, and he furiously decided to train me.
My disciple, Shen Ao, I feel so wronged! Supremacy Zi Yang sighed helplessly as he said, "Senior Brother, I heard that in this trial, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground obtained the God of War Pagoda from the Primordial Battlefield.
"Now that the God of War Pagoda is already in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, it is open to the five regions, and there are countless prodigy projections from the Mortal and Celestial Worlds.
"Given Senior Brother's talent, if you enter the God of War Pagoda, you'll definitely be able to defeat all the prodigies and become famous.
"Senior Brother, are you sure you don't want to go to Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and take a look?"
Defeat all the prodigies and become famous?
Li Canglan's eyes lit up.
If that's the case, I won't need to worry if there's no one here to learn swordsmanship from me anymore!
Cough, cough! Li Canglan coughed slightly before he snorted and said, "How shallow! What do you mean become famous? Is that something we sword cultivators need to be concerned about?
"We only need the swords in our hands to slice through all obstacles and press forward with an indomitable will.
"If you're tied down by fame and fortune, then don't think of achieving the true Sword Dao in your whole life."
Supremacy Zi Yang said, "What Senior Brother said is absolutely correct, I'm wrong."
Li Canglan continued. "However, there are countless prodigy projections in the God of War Pagoda. It's a good place to train one's swordsmanship, Sword Dao, Heart of the Sword, and sword intent. "Zi Yang, Changge, I've been training you all this while, so it's time for the both of you to try having battles with real prodigies.
"Follow me to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground this time and experience this treasure that has fallen from the Celestial World!"
After saying that, Heavenly Venerable Long River exuded a powerful sword intent that pierced through the layer of clouds. The scattered clouds gathered and formed a white cloud sword that was 10,000 feet in length, pointing directly toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!
The humongous white cloud sword was 30,000 miles long and could be seen from almost everywhere!
At that moment, a timid loli voice echoed from the side.
"Daddy, are-are you going to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground? "Could you bring me along?"
His sword intent instantly dispersed.
The God of War Pagoda appeared in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, which stirred Eastern Wilderness' various major sects. Those that were close to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, such as Jade Lake Sacred Ground and Grand White Grotto-Heaven, had already directly visited to congratulate them. Those who were further or had an average relationship with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were still observing.
Meanwhile, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Shen Tian were still within the lightning purgatory.
The lightning whip lashing the "brave and fearless" red-robed Sect Master was a sight for sore eyes for Shen Tian.
Surprisingly, the heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader stayed calm all along. "Blood Kill, do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"
The red-robed Sect Master scoffed. "Just do what you can then! I am a member of the Evil Spirit Sect, and I'll die as the Evil Spirit Sect's ghost. Even if you whip me 30,000 times, I definitely won't betray the Evil Spirit Sect."
The Sacred Leader shook his head before he gradually lifted his right hand and gripped the air. Then, all the lightning whips instantly disappeared.
"I am aware due to the special cultivation technique that you're practicing, you can increase your strength by being continuously attacked. To you, these whips are not painful at all. You can even turn all of it into pleasure thanks to your constitution." The red-robed Sect Master sneered. "So what if you know? Just use all the tortures possible on me!"
The Sacred Leader looked at the red-robed Sect Master calmly. "Since you're not afraid of pain, I will naturally not waste time.
"How about we make a bet? 15 minutes, I'll make you confess everything within 15 minutes."
The red-robed Sect Master suddenly felt a shiver down his back when he looked at the extremely cold Sacred Leader that was enshrouded within the heavenly aura. It was as if something bad was about to happen.

Chapter 256 Who's The Evil Sect Here?
"Do you think I am scared?"
The red-robed Sect Master suppressed the unease rising in his heart and snorted.
Right after he uttered those stubborn words, an expression of panic crossed his face. This was because he saw a door appearing in the space in front of him. The door led to a forest.
But this was not the most important part. The most crucial point was that inside that forest, a group of dark-red apes could be seen.
These apes were tall and muscular, exuding a fiery aura all over.
The red-robed Sect Master recognized this type of demon beast. They were just common basic-level demons, the equivalent of a Qi Refinement cultivator.
If he still had his powers, the Sect Master would have completely disregarded these insignificant apes. He just had to lift a finger, and they would all be killed.
Unfortunately, his powers were currently completely sealed off. He was even bound by lightning chains and could barely move. He was really not a match for these apes right
now.
Even so, the red-robed Sect Master wouldn't have panicked. This was because he possessed the physical body of a Saint-level practitioner.
Even with his powers completely sealed off, these apes would find it very hard to kill him.
But the scariest thing was, this type of beast did not like to kill people.
On the contrary, they... liked people very much.
This type of demon ape was called "Scarlet Flame Ape". They were very lascivious by nature and especially loved to harass and violate humans.
Even worse, the Scarlet Flame Apes were not at all picky about the gender of their human target.
The demon core inside this type of ape was a premium ingredient used in the making of aphrodisiacs. Many elixir masters would hunt for this kind of demon beast now and then. Some sects even bred them in captivity.
"Zhang... Zhang Longyuan, what are you trying to do?"
The red-robed Sect Master's voice was quivering
They were both sly old men-no need to pretend to be pure and chaste.
The Sect Master was in a panic the moment those Scarlet Flame Apes appeared.
One, two, three, four, five...
Just a quick look and he could already see at least a dozen male apes. On top of that, their fur was glowing red, a clear indication that they were in heat.
That scoundrel Zhang Longyuan! Showing me these Scarlet Flame Apes... What nefarious plan does he have in mind?
Is this... Is this really the kind of thing a noble sect like yours should do? You guys actually came up with such a sinister and vicious move. Who's the evil sect here!?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura rippled gently. His voice remained mild and impassive.
He said slowly, "My friend, please don't panic. These Scarlet Flame Ape are just basic-level demon beasts. They can't hurt you. "Since you insist on not revealing anything, I will not force you. Instead, I will let you become friends with these apes bred by Senior Brother Azure Lotus.
"These Scarlet Flame Apes are very passionate. I am sure you will like them very much."
With that, that door flew toward the red-robed Sect Master.
Duang!
Physically bound and magically sealed, the red-robed Sect Master dropped onto the ground in the midst of the apes.
"Oh?"
"Oh, oh, oh!?"
"Awo, awo, awooo!"
All eyes turned toward the Sect Master. Those eyes started to blaze.
All the big, burly Scarlet Flame Apes pounded their chests in excitement.
Human! What a tender human! Love, love love!
The red-robed Sect Master had lost all hope. He stared at the crystal dangling in mid-air. It was an Image Recording Crystal. It was something that would make his ordeal even worse.
The earth vibrated, and the red-robed Sect Master shuddered.
This Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is not human! He is a demon. A demon!
How did he come up with such a malicious and spine-chilling punishment!
So big! Who can endure it? Alright, maybe I
can...
After all, the Sect Master possessed a Saint-level body. But... even if he could endure it, it would still be a terrible experience!
Demon, demon, demon!
Things would not have been so bad if this was the only punishment. That fellow was still going to use the Image Recording Crystal to record the entire process. He must be planning to let the other Evil Spirit sect members watch it too!
Pfft, even in death, I will never rest in peace!
The most muscular and powerful-looking Scarlet Flame Ape approached him. It lifted the Sect Master gently to his feet, its eyes warm and gentle as water, but at the same time also passionate like fire.
It stroked the Sect Master's face, its coarse fur making him shudder in fear.
"Let me go back!
"Let me go back! I concede! I concede!"
The red-robed Sect Master hollered wildly at the skies, his eyes already filled with tears.
Rip!
The blood-red robe was torn apart.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning flew past
The door reappeared in front of the red-robed Sect Master and sucked him in.
The apes shrieked in frustration behind him
"Demon! You demon! How did you manage to think up such a sinister method?".
The Sect Master glared at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. He was still trembling in fear, his face as pale as a sheet of white paper.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled gently. "My friend, you misunderstand. I didn't come up with this idea.
"Some years ago, when Senior Brother Azure Lotus destroyed one of the Evil Spirit Sect's sub-factions, the Orgy Sect, he accidentally stumbled upon this interrogation technique used by this sect.
"I heard that the Orgy Sect once used this method against many of our own disciples. The results were very good.
"Since it came from a part of your sect, I just wanted to use it as a gesture of friendship to
you."
The red-robed Sect Master's face turned grim.
"Those wh*res."
Although members of the Evil Spirit Sect were all viewed as under one sect, strictly speaking, they were not completely unified.
,000 years ago, the Evil Spirits had descended.
Some of them were murderous Evil Spirits. Some were lustful Evil Spirits. Some were manipulative Evil Spirits...
Those Evil Spirits had attracted quite a number of human followers and passed down their own evil ways. As a result, different sub-sects under the Evil Spirits had emerged.
In the beginning, those sub-sects had been completely independent of one another.
But after the Evil Spirits had left, and the sub-sects had started to get targeted and destroyed, the remaining Evil Spirit Sect cultivators had been left with no choice.
They had to unify and cooperate with each other so that they had strength by numbers. That was the only reason they had managed to hold on for 10,000 years. The different followers from the many sub-sects might be brothers under the same overall sect, but they were not entirely loyal to each other.
Quite a number of nefarious plottings and schemes had occurred between the various sub-sects over the past 10,000 years. Things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
The red-robed Sect Master belonged to the Blood Kill Sect, which was one of the weaker sub-sects. The Sect Master was the only Saint in that sub-sect.
On the other hand, the Orgy Sect was one of the foremost powers in the wider Evil Spirit Sect. After all, the Orgy Sect's disciples were all very promiscuous, and they had friends everywhere in the Evil Spirit Sect.
The Blood Kill Sect Master never imagined that his suffering was because of those wh*res from the Orgy Sect!
The Blood Kill Sect Master felt resigned.
"I concede this time. But what do you want to know? I have a memory lock in my mind, and it is impossible for me to reveal anything concerning the headquarters."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled gently.
"It's not important what I want to know.
"But aren't you curious at all how you got discovered?
"You went to the Primordial Battlefield to release the Evil Spirit Lord but was captured by Shen Tian.
"You guys were hidden deep inside the valley and protected by an array formation. But you were still discovered by Senior Brother Azure Lotus.
"Don't you think that was too much of a coincidence?" The eyes of the Blood Kill Sect Master widened. "Do you mean I have a spy amongst my subordinates?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said mildly, "Fool, no wonder you have ended up in such dire straits.
"Think carefully. If you die, your sect disciples would be like a dragon without its head.
"Which one of the other Evil Spirit Sect sub-factions will take over? Who will benefit the most?
"If your plan succeeded and you released the Evil Spirit Lord, your sub-sect would definitely increase in power and standing.
"So which other sub-sect would be the most disadvantaged if you rose in power?" The Blood Kill Sect Master's face turned grim at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's words.
No wonder I failed!
Damn, I finally realize now!

Chapter 257 The Sect Master Gets Tricked
The Blood Kill Sect Master's face was filled with rage and betrayal.
To be honest, he was gradually being convinced by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's words.
It was not that the Blood Kill Sect Master's IQ wasn't high.
Although, it was indeed not that high...
But the main reason the Blood Kill Sect Master believed the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was because his failure was just too bizarre and astonishing
It must be pointed out that their plan to release the Evil Spirit Lord had been years in the making, 1,000 years to be exact. And everything was done in the utmost secrecy.
Even within the Blood Kill Sect itself, only a few members knew of it.
The Blood Kill Sect Master had only informed the rest of his sect when the Heavenly Demon day was about to arrive so that he could lead them to the battlefield.
Their plans were still disrupted even after such careful planning. It was just too baffling.
It could still be considered rather reasonable for Hei Yuan and the rest to be captured by Shen Tian. After all, they were asking for it.
But at that point in time, the task of unleashing the Evil Spirit Lord had not even started yet. How did Shen Tian know of their plans then?
More importantly, the Blood Kill Sect Master had once secretly infiltrated the battlefield and visited the Dark Yin Plains. He had seen just how terrifying the Dark Yin Energy there was.
That Dark Yin Energy was under the Evil Spirit Lord's control. It had the power to butcher Saints and was extremely fearsome.
In the Primordial Battlefield, all living creatures from the outside would have their cultivation levels suppressed to the Golden Core stage and below.
Under such circumstances, unless he had made prior preparations, how had Shen Tian managed to capture the Evil Spirit Lord?
It was obvious that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground already knew of the Blood Kill Sect's plan to release the Evil Spirit Lord. And so they had set a trap for them.
There must be some other Evil Spirit sub-sect secretly supporting them in this entire process, hoping to annihilate the Blood Kill Sect.
Otherwise, how had Shen Tian gotten teleported there? He was the Divine Firmament Saint! There was no way his teleportation could have gone wrong. And even if it had truly gone wrong, there were so many other places he could have ended up in. Why had he ended up in the exact same valley as the Blood Kill Sect Master?
This was all too much of a coincidence!
Sinister plot. This must all be part of some sinister plot!
It must be the Seven Kill Sect. That old fool from the Seven Kill Sect must be trying to kill him!
The Blood Kill Sect Master gritted his teeth. "Didn't expect that traitor Seven Kill Sect to have reached so deep amongst my subordinates."
Although the Evil Spirit Sect's members appeared to be unified on the surface, each sub-sect was extremely cautious toward one another.
They knew that everyone in the sect was bad eggs and would never hesitate to try and harm one another.
As a result, the locations of the main camp quarters of the weaker sub-sects were all highly classified. They would never reveal this information to anyone, not even to members of the other sub-sects.
Otherwise, things would not have been so peaceful within the various sub-sects over the past 10,000 years. They would have already been rooted out one by one by the sacred grounds and completely annihilated.
In theory, the various sub-sects stayed out of each other's way. But only a few of the sub-sects truly stuck to that principle.
Most of the time, the sub-sects in the same region would somehow bump into each other. As a result, there would always be times when they cooperated or fought. The Blood Kill Sect and Seven Kill Sect were the two largest sub-sects near the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. They were also situated relatively near each other.
In the Blood Kill Sect Master's opinion, if there was a traitor in the overall Evil Spirit Sect, it would definitely be the Seven Kill Sect. No doubt about it.
After all, the Blood Kill Sect and Seven Kill Sect had a lot of bad blood between them.
The Seven Kill Sect definitely had a motive to kill him!
"That scoundrel! How dare he plot against
me!?"
Upon noting the anger in the Blood Kill Sect Master's eyes, Shen Tian secretly observed a moment of silence for him.
If not for the fact that he had personally experienced it, he would have also believed the Sacred Leader's words.
After all, it was just too coincidental.
Master is indeed formidable! You have utterly tricked this stalwart and unyielding man.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled gently. "My friend, can we talk about cooperating now?"
The Blood Kill Sect Master was taken aback. "Cooperation? How?"
The Sacred Leader replied calmly, "Very simple. Give me information about the Seven Kill Sect in exchange for your life. How about that?"
Give him information about the Seven Kill Sect to exchange for my life? That simple?
As if he could read the Blood Kill Sect Master's thoughts, the Sacred Leader continued. "Well, of course, it's not that simple. I also need you to pledge your loyalty to me." Pledge my loyalty? Impossible! The Blood Kill Sect Master smirked. "I am a great Saint. Pledge loyalty to you? Are you worthy?" The door appeared once again beside the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. "Oh? Never mind then."
The Blood Kill Sect Master's scalp went numb upon seeing the excited Scarlet Flame Apes on the other side of the door.
"Ahem, calm down. This pledging of loyalty thing is a bit too much. But... But we can still talk about cooperating!"
The door disappeared, and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said, "Tell me everything you know about the Seven Kill Sect. Agree to be my spy within the Evil Spirit Sect.
"If so, I can promise to let you go. Otherwise, you can go accompany those Scarlet Flame Apes!"
The Blood Kill Sect Master felt a deep sense of resignation.
"Many people witnessed my capture by your men. You want me to return to the Evil Spirit Sect to be a spy? That would be as good as sending me to my death!
"You should know of the Thousand Illusion Queen. She is the best at illusions and bewitchment. I will not be able to withstand her bewitching arts."
The Blood Kill Sect Master was speaking the truth.
After all, the Evil Spirit Sect had managed to survive for 10,000 years. Perhaps some of the sub-sect masters were fools, but the sect's upper management levels were definitely no fools. They would not be that easily tricked.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. "If you are willing, I have my ways to help you. To deceive others, one must first deceive oneself. Let me explain."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice was calm and impassive.
The "Infernal Affairs" ploy against the Evil Spirit Sect had started.
Two hours later, Shen Tian and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader left the lightning world.
At this point, Shen Tian was full of awe and respect for his master. Capturing such a high-level mafia boss and turning him into his spy!
Luckily, he was his master. If he was his enemy... Shen Tian felt a tremble of fear at that thought.
"Tian'er, I brought you along to interrogate the Blood Kill Sect Master to show you that although we are of the righteous path, we must sometimes resort to more unusual means.
"Power does not discriminate between good or evil. Use it for good, and it will be good. Use it for evil means, and it will be evil. The key thing is to maintain a true heart.
"Do you understand?"
Shen Tian thought about it.
"Do you mean that I should use shameless methods against shameless people? "As long as my intentions are good? If so, since they are already shameless, there's no need to feel sorry for them?
"Is this what you mean, Master?" The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura vibrated intensely. "Ahem, yes... Yes, that's what I meant.
"But I was just showing you an example today. There's no need to use the same methods in the future unless absolutely necessary.
"After all, one should always walk on the bright main road whenever possible and avoid using the shady back lanes unless absolutely necessary. You are the Son of Providence, and you need to maintain your reputation. "Even for me, I have only used this kind of extreme method once or twice over the past thousand years. This is not something to be used frequently." Shen Tian nodded. "I understand. As shameless as the person is, I should only use such methods when it's worth it, right?
"For people of our status, we need to maintain our upright reputations."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian with a serious expression. This disciple of his was indeed a quick learner and worth his guidance.
It was just that Tian'er's words were too... direct.
Shameless methods? That's too blatant!
He is still too young.
He needs more practice on making politically correct remarks!

Chapter 258 This Is Master Heavens' Benevolence!
Two days had passed since the God of War Pagoda landed in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Ye Qingcang had already launched his "Daily Sparring" within these two days.
Compared to the usual high-stakes betting battle format, the risk for this Daily Sparring was much lower.
To most of the Divine Firmament disciples, it was worth it to spend fewer Spirit Stones to have a satisfactory sparring session.
For those true disciples, quite a number still chose the usual high-stakes betting battle format to fight with Celestial World prodigies of the same level.
But most of the Divine Firmament disciples remained at the One- or Two-Star Prodigy levels.
After all, these prodigies were not your usual mortal practitioners. They were prodigies by the high standards of the Celestial World.
It was already considered a rare achievement for those Divine Firmament Sacred Ground disciples to be able to match up to a One- or Two-Star Prodigy.
If it were the grotto-heaven and blessed-land disciples, most of them might not even be able to match up to the lowest One-Star Prodigy.
Of course, those prodigies who tried the "betting battle format" did not end up with nothing at all. They also gained quite a bit from the God of War Pagoda.
In just a short period of time, many Divine Firmament True disciples had made vast improvements to their foundations and capabilities.
At the same time, the Divine Firmament disciples were not the only ones who benefited.
For cultivators, it was not at all difficult to set up a small township.
On the very first day when the God of War Pagoda had arrived, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had already sent hundreds of disciples over to build a settlement near the God of War Pagoda.
Those disciples had established a small town within half a day with their Five Elements skills.
It was far from Divine Firmament City's regal architecture. However, it was more than enough to house those disciples from the other sects, who visited the God of War Pagoda as tourists or to battle.
Over the past few days, news of the God of War Pagoda's arrival in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had already spread across the surrounding grotto-heavens and blessed-lands.
Those grotto-heavens and blessed-lands that were reliant on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had already sent men over to congratulate them.
And of course, those congratulations came with all sorts of gifts.
For example, the Peach Garden Grotto-Heaven had given them two huge Flat Peaches.
Flat Peaches were considered an extremely expensive spirit elixir and could extend a dying cultivator's life by another 100 years.
To those cultivators who reached a bottleneck and were unable to break through, this kind of spirit elixir was also a priceless treasure.
Meanwhile, the Golden Grotto-Heaven had given them a Nascent Sword.
This sword was a superior-grade Spirit artifact and worth at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. It was extremely valuable.
In addition, the Spirit Grounds Blessed-Land had given them an Absorbent Pearl.
This kind of pearl was a naturally-formed spirit item and could absorb all the Spirit Qi in the world and accelerate a cultivator's cultivation speed.
Anyway, the gifts given by the various cultivation sects could be considered a huge bounty.
Since these 'Junior' Grotto-Heavens and Blessed-Lands were so sensible, 'Big Brother' Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would, of course, return the favor.
They immediately indicated that all disciples and elders from the various cultivation sects could enter the God of War Pagoda and train. No restrictions at all.
Of course, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would not be liable over whatever one won or lost inside the God of War Pagoda.
After all, the sacred ground was just the administrator. They would be neutral and hold no responsibility. As a result, wave after wave of grotto-heaven and blessed-land prodigies came forth. This started the God of Pagoda tourism trade.
Unfortunately, they all looked so excited and confident right before stepping in, only to emerge down and despondent.
The blow of it was just too great!
Those prodigies were considered amongst the most exceptional talents within their own sects. They thought they were invincible and believed themselves to be extraordinarily gifted. Nonetheless, after entering the God of War Pagoda, they tragically realized that they didn't have enough savings to challenge a Three- or Four-Star Prodigy.
Following that, they would realize they didn't have to worry about the fact that they had no money to challenge a Three- or Four-Star Prodigy.
This was because... they couldn't even defeat a One-Star Prodigy.
Oh, the outside world was just too cruel!
In just a short two days' time, countless arrogant youths from the cultivation sects started to mature from the humbling experience.
Those who were mentally stronger were able to recognize the fact that they were not capable enough. As a result, they started to work even harder to cultivate and train.
But those who were mentally weaker instantly lost their will to fight. There were indeed such youths, but they numbered in the few.
Overall, the God of War Pagoda became the hot topic of discussion amongst those cultivation sect disciples.
an
Almost every single disciple was discussing who managed to pass which stage in the pagoda. And because of this, Ye Qingcang made a supplementary God of War Tablet. Shen Tian and Zhang Longyuan had suggested this to him.
This additional God of War Tablet only showed the battle results achieved over the past 100 years.
After 100 years, the New Talent Tablet's names would be erased and be replaced by the latest rookies.
In other words, this tablet focused only on the talent rankings of prodigies from the current generation.
If you managed to get your name on this New Talent Tablet, it proved that you were talented enough to enter the top 100 within the past 100 years.
For most of the cultivation sect disciples, this was considered a huge honor. After all, Eastern Wilderness was very vast, and there were a lot of cultivators. To rank amongst the top 100 across all the prodigies over the past 100 years – it was a 1 in a 100,000,000 chance!
Over the past two days, at least 500 to 1,000 disciples entered the God of War Pagoda to battle.
The New Talent Tablet was already completely filled with names. But competition was not that high for the moment.
After all, the other sacred grounds' young Saints and Saintesess had yet to arrive!
As a result, many grotto-heaven and blessed-land talented cultivators took this opportunity to try their luck. If they really managed to enter the top 100, they could forever boast about this fact in the future.
Do you know the God of War New Talent Tablet? Not all of the sacred grounds' young Saints and Saintesses managed to squeeze into the top 100, but I did!
With this thought in mind, business at the God of War Pagoda flourished over the past few days.
Outside the God of War Pagoda, at present..
Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, Eunuch Gui, Qin Gao, and the rest were quietly waiting. As other disciples from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and other cultivation sects passed by, they shot envious and jealous looks at the group. "It's them! It's them!"
"They are the Divine Firmament Saint's, Senior Brother Shen Tian's, closest posse."
"I heard that they get a 50% discount for betting battles in the God of War Pagoda. Plus, they don't even need to pay for the daily sparring sessions!"
"So jealous!"
Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, and the rest were totally unconcerned over the discussions of the crowd.
After all, they were part of Shen Tian's closest posse and knew they were at a completely different level from those commoners.
Even Zhang San, who was a Divine Firmament Sacred Ground true disciple, could only tag along behind them like a dog slavering for treats.
Zhang San asked in curiosity, "Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Liu, I am curious about one thing. I wonder if I can ask?"
Song Fugui smiled. "You are part of our gang now. Ask away!"
Zhang San continued. "Senior Brother Shen Tian entered the God of War Pagoda yesterday to train in seclusion. He should have already passed the battle stage by now."
"But why don't I see his name on the God of War Tablet or the New Talent Tablet?"
Zhang San was not the only one curious about this. To be honest, most of the disciples were also curious. After all, according to reliable sources, Senior Brother Shen Tian was the one who had brought the God of War Pagoda here.
Song Fugui smiled at Zhang San's gossipy face but kept silent.
In the end, it was Liu Taiyi who whispered in a secretive voice, "Do you really wish to know?"
Zhang San nodded excitedly. "Senior Brother, please enlighten me. I will definitely keep it a secret."
Liu Taiyi said mysteriously, "Do you know that this God of War Pagoda has been in Eastern Wilderness for 10,000 years but has never acknowledged anyone as its owner? Do you know why?"
Zhang San shook his head in puzzlement.
Liu Taiyi smiled. "The reason is very simple. The God of War Pagoda is the ultimate artifact. Even amongst the Immortal artifacts, there is none above it.
"Only a true Seven-Star Prodigy, the most exceptional kind that only appears once every 10,000 years, would be worthy enough to gain the pagoda's recognition as its owner." Zhang San was taken aback. "Do you mean that Senior Brother Shen Tian is a Seven-Star Prodigy?"
Liu Taiyi shook his head. "To be honest, I have no idea just how talented Senior Brother Shen Tian is.
"But I can be sure of one thing. When we were in the Primordial Battlefield, while Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Gui, Senior Brother Qin, and I were waiting for people to finish their battles in the pagoda, Senior Brother Shen Tian's name had already reached the top of the God Of War Tablet. And his rating was a Seven-Star Prodigy."
Zhang San's face was full of admiration and excitement. "But why haven't I seen his name then?"
Liu Taiyi replied mildly. "Well... to be honest, I am not sure either."
Shopkeeper Song shook his head slowly. "It is clear that our Saint Master Heavens, Senior Brother Shen Tian, wishes to keep a low profile.
ver
"I have known Master Heavens for a long time, He has always been a low-profile guy and doesn't like to be in the spotlight.
"I do have a few guesses as to why Master Heavens' name is not on the God of War Tablet. I can explain to you guys. But everyone must promise me not to spread this information. In case Master Heavens gets
upset."
Everyone immediately promised.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Song! My lips are sealed."
"Senior Brother Song, you know me well. My lips are sealed too!"
"Although I am not as close to your group and Senior Brother Shen Tian, I am not the kind of person who spreads gossip. My lips will definitely remain sealed!"
"And me, same for me!"
Shopkeeper Song nodded as everyone promised. "Actually, in my opinion, there are two reasons why Master Heavens' name is not on that tablet.
"Firstly, Master Heavens might be low-profile, but as an exceptional talent, he still possesses the undeniable pride of a prodigy.
"His talents have been touted as mind-blowing and something that surpassed the ages. Is a mere God of War Tablet worthy enough to certify his accolades?
"After all, Master Heavens conquered and owns the entire God of War Pagoda. If his name is on that list, it will definitely trigger off some criticisms.
"He is already Master Heavens and the Divine Firmament Saint, and he probably couldn't be bothered to explain anything to others. Thus, he would rather not have his name on the list to avoid being a target." Everyone listened attentively to Shopkeeper Song's explanation with sparkling eyes. Liu Taiyi thought of something and took out a jade bamboo slip to make careful records. Shopkeeper Song continued. "And the second reason is maybe that Master Heavens doesn't want to upset the other prodigies." Zhang San was taken aback. "Senior Brother Song, what do you mean by that?"
Song Fugui said, "Little San, you don't know this.
"Previously on the Primordial Battlefield, I personally saw Master Heavens' name appear directly at second place. "At that time, Master Heavens was ranked number two, just below the Six-Star Prodigy Huang Shi. But soon after, he rose again.
"And this time, Master Heavens' ranking surpassed Huang Shi. He became the first Seven-Star Prodigy in 10,000 years!"
Liu Taiyi slowly nodded his head. "Yes, I was also there then. I can testify to that."
Qin Gao also nodded. "I was present too. I saw it all clearly."
Xiong Meng nodded frankly. "Same for me."
Song Fugui said mysteriously, "Do you know what this means?
"This means that when Master Heavens defeated a Five-Star Prodigy, he had already been acknowledged by the God of War Pagoda as the most powerful Five-Star Prodigy.
"On top of that, he didn't rest at all after defeating that Five-Star Prodigy. He immediately went on to challenge a Seven-Star Prodigy.
"And in just a short amount of time, perhaps within 100 moves, he managed to defeat that Seven-Star Prodigy.
"As a result, he was able to rise from a Five-Star to a Seven-Star Prodigy in a very short period of time.
"This proves that the Seven-Star Prodigy was no match for him at all.
"And now, Master Heavens' name has disappeared from the God of War Tablet.
"In my opinion, perhaps the God of War Tablet is no longer an adequate measure of Master Heavens' talents. Or perhaps Master Heavens has already surpassed the Seven-Star rank and reached Eight-Star or beyond.
"Master Heavens has no choice but to hide his own ranking to protect the pride and confidence of the other prodigies.
"Otherwise, think of how many prodigies would be in despair if he revealed his true talent!
ге
"Countless prodigies might end up being mentally scarred and live in his shadow for the rest of their lives.
"This is Master Heavens' benevolence!"
Oh
Oohh
Ooohhh~
Shopkeeper Song's words were like a door opening Zhen Zhijia, Zhang San, Xiong Meng, and all those who had been baffled—they were instantly enlightened.
Even the jade slip in Liu Taiyi's hand nearly dropped to the ground. After all, Shopkeeper Song's words were just too astonishing.
But on second thought, it all sounded rather reasonable.
There was indeed a good reason why Song Fugui was the leader of the Favored Ones group.
He had such deep, clear insight into things.
Liu Taiyi felt that he was no match for him!
At that moment, Eunuch Gui finally spoke up. "These are just Junior Brother Song's own surmisings. Everyone just listen but don't take it to heart. Don't spread this around."
Going by fighting capabilities, Eunuch Gui was not the most powerful in this group.
But going by the level of regard Shen Tian had for them, even Song Fugui was not ranked as high as Eunuch Gui.
After all, this was someone whom Shen Tian regarded as his family. Even the Saintess and First Senior Brother would accord him a level of respect. Now that Eunuch Gui had spoken, everyone immediately promised to keep their lips sealed. They would never tell anyone else about this.
Eunuch Gui nodded in satisfaction. He gazed toward the God of War Pagoda again.
His eyes were filled with benevolence, concern, and pride.
In just a few months' time, His Highness had managed to transform his fate as a normal, mediocre prince to a Divine Firmament Saint that no one in the entire Eastern Wilderness could afford to overlook. People were even suspecting him to be a prodigy who could be ranked as an Eight-Star and above prodigy.
It must be known that even the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's First Senior Brother, Fang Chang, a Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage cultivator, had been ranked as only a Five-Star Prodigy.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground Saintess, Zhang Yunxi, was at the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage and well-versed in the Mixed Divine Lightning. Even so, she was also only a Five-Star Prodigy.
The only Six-Star Prodigy on the God of War Tablet was already a reigning presence across the five regions.
And His Highness was at least a Seven-Star Prodigy and might even be an Eight-Star one.
What did this all mean? Eunuch Gui knew very well.
This meant that as long as His Highness quietly continued his cultivation, he would become completely invincible and be without foe across the five regions.
This kind of glory was too dazzling. It was something Eunuch Gui could not even begin to imagine at first.
For a second there, Eunuch Gui's eyes filled with tears.
His Highness had finally grown up into a formidable man.
If Concubine Lan knew, she would definitely be grinning from ear to ear!

Chapter 259 Shen Tian Meets Li Canglan For The First Time
At the seventh level of the God of War platform, facing the Seven-Star Prodigy on the God of War platform...
Shen Tian was dressed in his Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor and shrouded in lightning. He looked like a young deity descended onto the earth.
Standing in front of him was a big, burly man with a divine axe in his hand. His aura was majestic and full of power.
This was a Celestial World Seven-Star Prodigy from the Heavenly Executioner race. He was best at refining the physical body and strength-based techniques. His battle style was violent and savage to the extreme.
To be honest, Shen Tian was feeling immense pressure just by standing in front of him.
His Godfiend Golden Body was completely invulnerable to any blade, drowning waters, and burning fires. This fellow's Golden Body had clearly been refined more than once. His physique was even more powerful than Shen Tian's!
Shen Tian struck out with his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer covered in First Essence Heavy Water with all his might. He swung wildly over 100 times before he finally managed to subdue his opponent.
It was the most challenging same-level prodigy Shen Tian had ever faced.
"Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers: Star-Smashing Hammer!"
The lightning on his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer shimmered as if a star had fallen onto earth.
Boom!
A huge divine hammer shattered the giant axe in the hands of the burly man from the Heavenly Executioner race before smashing straight into his body.
A loud boom could be heard as if the mountains were crumbling down. Under the divine hammer, the burly man from the Heavenly Executioner race dissolved into clusters of light.
"I didn't expect a Seven-Star Prodigy to be so much stronger than the rest. This fellow's battle prowess is much more powerful than those before."
After storing his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer, Shen Tian couldn't help wiping off some sweat from his forehead.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had been welcoming the various powers from around over the past two days. Shen Tian had not been idling either.
He had always been well aware that despite being armed to the teeth with treasures, his battle experience was far below that of the other prodigies.
As a result, he had gone into the God of War Pagoda to take full advantage of the projections of those prodigies. It was free for him anyway. Ye Qingcang did not resent his "freeloading". On the contrary, he patiently guided Shen Tian on how to strengthen his battle experience. In Ye Qingcang's eyes, Shen Tian had learned many powerful skills, but they were all in a mess. Instead of continuing to learn more powerful techniques, it was better for him to refine what he had first.
As a result, under the guidance of Ye Qingcang, Shen Tian spent the past two days strengthening his control over his skills.
He started with the Six-Star Prodigies first. He would compete with the Celestial World's Winged race in terms of speed with his Feather Immortal Metal.
He would compete with the Celestial World's Spring race in terms of vine control with his Divine Devouring Vine. He would compete with the Celestial World's Ocean race with his Heavy Water.
He would compete with the Celestial World's Fire race with his Nan Ming Li Fire. He would compete with the Lightning race with his Mixed Divine Lightning.
During these battles with those prodigies, Shen Tian would seal off his other abilities on purpose. When sparring with an opponent, he would only use the skills which that particular opponent was best at.
In the end, he had... suffered terrible defeats.
How terrible? Well, Shen Tian's Golden Body was so thrashed that it had cracked.
In another three to five days' time, he would successfully undergo his first Golden Body refinement.
In Ye Qingcang's wise old words, this was called: "Whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger."
Of course, Shen Tian strongly suspected that Ye Qingcang was just finding an excuse to see him beaten up into such a wretched state.
After all, every time he was being thrashed, that sly old fox would be below the platform watching.
Snacking on popcorn and grinning happily.
But regardless, Shen Tian's battle experience did improve by leaps and bounds after his relentless sparring sessions with these prodigies.
As a result, his battle abilities improved at a mind-blowing rate.
Even Ye Qingcang was secretly shocked at this young man's speed of improvement. At his current level, the moment Shen Tian broke the seals on all his powers and techniques, most of the Seven-Star Prodigies in the God of War Pagoda would no longer be a match for him.
They would just suffer a great thrashing under him.
After all, Shen Tian's battle style was just too comprehensive. No matter what type of prodigy he met, he would have a way to counter and defeat them. For example, the prodigy from the Heavenly Executioner race-Shen Tian used the Divine Devouring Vine to restrain him first. He then used the First Essence Heavy Water to enhance his power before using his hammer to smash him to bits.
"You punk. You pulverized one of my Seven-Star Prodigies. So violent."
Ye Qingcang executed some hand seals with an aching heart and absorbed those golden clusters of light back to the pagoda.
Shen Tian smiled. "There is unlimited healing here, isn't there? Does the pagoda have any Seven-Star Prodigies who are more powerful?"
Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes. "It's enough. You have already beaten dozens of Six- and Seven-Star Prodigies these past few days. Know when to be content.
"Go back. Summarize and reflect on everything. Thoroughly absorb all those battle experiences. It will be better than cultivating in seclusion for 100 years.
"Don't get too greedy. Too much of a good thing can be bad. It will also be a waste of Spirit Stones."
Shen Tian wiped his sweat. He seriously suspected that Ye Qingcang's last sentence was the main reason.
"Alright, I will go back to rest. I will also go into seclusion and finish refining my Golden Body."
Shen Tian hung his hammer back on his waist and mentally recited the command to be teleported out of the God of War Pagoda. His training was thus completed.
The sunlight outside the pagoda once again shone on Shen Tian's body.
At that moment, in the eyes of countless folk, even the sun itself had lost its luster.
This was because Shen Tian, garbed in his Longyuan Divine Armor, looked just too handsome and dashing, completely heart-stopping.
His dazzling golden divine battle armor, his avatar, which radiated with a powerful aura, and that perfect face-every single inch of Shen Tian was enough to make a man ashamed of his own flaws and drive a woman crazy.
Suddenly, everyone started whispering furiously to each other.
Many sect disciples even surged toward him.
"Is this the Divine Firmament Saint, Senior Brother Shen Tian? I am finally seeing him with my own eyes. Love him, love him!"
"I heard that the Divine Firmament Saint is extremely good-looking. Now that I have seen him in person, he's even more handsome than they say!" "Having finally seen the Divine Firmament Saint, I now understand the term heartbreakingly handsome!"
"Senior Brother Qingyun, I want to call off our engagement! Why? Because I have met my true love. If you truly love me, I hope that you will support me."
"Your Highness, Divine Firmament Saint. I heard that you ventured deep into the Primordial Battlefield and brought back the God of War Pagoda. Could you share the story of your adventure?"
"Your Highness, Divine Firmament Saint, I heard that only a Seven-Star Prodigy would be worthy enough to gain the God of War Pagoda's acknowledgment and bring it out."
"But your name is not on the God of War Tablet. I wonder if you can offer an explanation?"
"Your Highness, Divine Firmament Saint. I heard that those disciples who are your close friends could enjoy a 30% discount at the pagoda?"
"Isn't this unfair to the other disciples?"
Huh?
Shen Tian couldn't help feeling flabbergasted at the swarm of men and women crowding around him.
When did a bunch of paparazzi appear in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?
These fellows must be treated with caution. After all, Shen Tian was the young Saint of an upright and noble cultivation sect. He couldn't just blow all these guys away with a single "Mixed Divine Lightning Fist", right?
Luckily, Song Fugui and the rest had also hurried over at that moment.
"Everyone, please step aside. Senior Brother Shen Tian has just finished his training and needs his rest."
"Where are you guys from? Show us your sect token. You can direct any questions to us."
The disciples from the Favored Ones blocked those paparazzi to the side and segregated them from Shen Tian.
Shen Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Shen Tian soon felt that something was not quite right. He could feel the sword intent inside his body starting to bubble in agitation. It was like a powerful divine sword was now flying straight toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
He lifted his head slowly.
Somehow, all the clouds toward the east side of the God of War Pagoda had gathered together.
Those thick, roiling white clouds had gathered into the shape of a long sword and exuded a sharp, harsh sword aura, which ripped the fabric of the surrounding space.
If one's Sword Dao level was high enough, they could even detect the gathering of sword intent in the skies.
It was like a surging river, a towering waterfall.
A powerful sword intent like this definitely did not belong to your usual sword cultivator.
It was clear that some Sword Immortal was descending
Shen Tian was not the only one who felt that something was not quite right.
All Nascent Soul and above cultivators in the Divine Firmament Small World and its surroundings could feel that immense pressure.
It was not a targeted pressure. It was just the aura exuded by an extremely powerful practitioner-an aura that could make a weaker practitioner feel threatened.
It was like a lamb standing in front of a majestic lion. Even if the lion had no intention of killing and eating it, the lamb would still feel an instinctive fear and suppression.
One by one, figures appeared around the God of War Pagoda. They were the leaders and elders of the various grotto-heavens and blessed-lands.
They had appeared not just to gawk at all the action but as a sign of respect for that sword.
Finally, that vague and ominous sword intent started to expand.
The swords in the hands and tied to the backs of countless disciples started to vibrate gently.
Quite a number of the divine swords just directly flew out of their scabbards and landed on the ground, facing the east and vibrating.
It was like they were paying respect to their great lord.
At that moment, everyone was sure that it was him. It was him! It was definitely him!
The number one Sword Dao talent in Eastern Wilderness for the past 3,000 years-Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan! He was from the Grand White Grotto-Heaven and ranked third on the Eastern Wilderness Soul Formation rankings.
It was said that he should have been able to transcend onto the Sage stage, but he felt that his Sword Dao still needed refinement. Thus, he was forcibly delaying his ascension.
The day when he finally underwent the tribulation and became a Sage, he might become the number one Sword Sage!
This was just a Heavenly Venerable from a grotto-heaven, but even the Sacred Leaders from the sacred grounds would have to treat this swordsman with respect and humility.
A figure dressed in a sackcloth gradually appeared on the far horizon.
When he appeared, he was still about 100 miles away from the God of War Pagoda. But one could still see his vague outline.
But with just one step, aided by tens of thousands of sword shadows, he appeared right in front of the pagoda.
At that point, this swordsman in the sackcloth was the absolute center of the entire world. His aura subdued everyone, and even Shen Tian felt very suppressed.
At that moment, all the Supremacies and Heavenly Venerables from the various grotto-heavens and blessed-lands all stepped forward to welcome this swordsman.
"Sword Venerable Long River, it has been decades since we last met. Your sword intent has become more formidable than ever before."
"This sword intent is like a surging channel of water, like the unstoppable gush of the Yellow River."
"Sword Venerable, my son loves Sword Dao. I wonder if he will have the honor of learning under you. I am willing to compensate you generously."
Li Canglan's eyes remained impassive as everyone offered their respectful greetings and high praises.
His eyes were fixed on the towering purple pagoda.
He murmured to himself, "This dilapidated pagoda is the legendary God of War Pagoda? That year when I entered the Primordial Battlefield for training, I didn't get to meet this pagoda. It was one of my greatest regrets. Never expected that I would have another chance today to fulfill my dream."
Li Canglan suddenly felt something.
He gazed toward Shen Tian, and his eyes gradually hardened.

Chapter 260 The Invincible Sword Embryo
Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan, knew of Shen Tian.
In reality, Li Canglan had already heard of Shen Tian before he entered the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
In fact, if not for Zhang Yunxi and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' appearance, Shen Tian would have been "pulled" over to join the Grand White Grotto-Heaven.
Actually, Li Canglan didn't feel too friendly toward Shen Tian at first. After all, he was the strictest father in the entire Eastern Wilderness!
There was no way he would feel friendly toward a lady-killer like Shen Tian.
But after meeting him in person, Li Canglan felt that he had been too quick to judge. This youth was indeed a rare specimen of the perfect-looking guy, especially that extraordinary demeanor of his—Li Canglan felt like he was looking at a younger version of himself.
What an exceptional young man!
Of course, the great Sword Venerable Long River was not a superficial person.
Looks aside, Shen Tian's Sword Dao aura was what truly astonished Li Canglan.
Divine Sword!
That's right. The legendary Divine Sword Constitution!
Usually, only those who had a very advanced understanding of Sword Dao and attained the heavens' recognition would be able to attract the divine sword intent and evolve a Divine Sword Constitution.
There had been quite a number of exceptional swordsmen in the Eastern Wilderness over the past 10,000 years. However, only a rare few possessed the Divine Sword Constitution.
Nearly all those who possessed such a constitution had become the most powerful Sword Sages in their generation.
One could dominate over everyone and everything with just one sword in hand.
100 years ago, Li Canglan was already confident of overcoming the tribulation to become a Sage. However, he didn't hurry for the lightning tribulation partly because he wanted to continue strengthening his foundation.
At the same time, he hoped to further enhance his sword intent before undergoing the tribulation so that he could make use of the Heavenly Tribulation power to attain a Divine Sword Constitution.
He never imagined that Shen Tian would manage to attain his long-coveted dream constitution.
A mere Golden Body realm practitioner was able to possess the Divine Sword Constitution!
This meant that he possessed the most unique type of Dao Seed in Sword Dao. It was without a doubt the invincible Sword Embryo.
If he could take him in as his disciple, Li Canglan believed he could produce a world-dominating Sword Sage. He could even become a Sword Immortal, second to none!
Yes, to be honest, Li Canglan regretted it.
If he had gone to the Country of Fire a few months ago, instead of sending that scoundrel Zi Yang go, he might have detected Shen Tian's potential to achieve a Divine Sword Constitution. If so, he would have gladly fought Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to become Shen Tian's Master.
Sigh... It's too late for regrets now!
When I return, I must give that short-sighted and foolish Zi Yang a sound thrashing!
"Are you Shen Tian?"
Li Canglan finally spoke after some time had passed.
Shen Tian could more or less guess Li Canglan's identity.
He said in a respectful manner, "My humble greetings, Senior Li. Your great reputation precedes you."
In Shen Tian's eyes, this was the world's strictest father and not someone that he could ever afford to provoke.
After all, this type of father was capable of anything once incensed.
Having flirted with his daughter, Shen Tian felt very sheepish in front of Li Canglan.
But unexpectedly, Li Canglan didn't give him a dour face.
On the contrary, the number one Sword Venerable in Eastern Wilderness nodded in satisfaction.
"You are rather well-mannered.
"Shen Tian, you helped Lian'er grow her Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash in the Myriad Spirit Garden. I owe you one. "Why don't I do this? I see that you are a rare talent for the sword. If you are willing, I can pass on the Sword Dao to you. "We do not have a master-disciple relationship, and you will be free to leave the Grand White Grotto-Heaven after mastering your Sword Dao. How about that?"
Go to the Grand White Grotto-Heaven to learn sword skills for three months?
Learn about Sword Dao or something? The art of catching a blade with your bare hands?
Right!
All doubts aside, this was something Shen Tian really didn't dare to agree to. Shen Ao had revealed some stuff over the past few days in the sacred ground.
Shen Tian felt that Sword Venerable Long River's training methods should be respected... from afar.
This old man was already so harsh when training his own son. Shen Tian would be worse off.
If he really went with this old man to the Grand White Grotto-Heaven, he would endure so much hardship that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him afterward!
Moreover, do I really need you to learn swordplay?
The God of War Pagoda had a vast array of sword techniques. Shen Tian could pick and choose any one of them any time he liked.
Shen Tian said in a resigned voice, "I fully appreciate Senior Li's kind intentions. But I am the Divine Firmament Saint, and it is really not convenient for me to learn sword skills from you."
Li Canglan's face darkened slightly.
This punk! When have I ever taken the initiative like this before?
How many people wanted to learn Sword Dao from me, but I couldn't be bothered to even give them a second look?
Today, I finally felt the urge to teach someone but was rejected. Are you going to waste that wonderful sword potential?
Hmph!
Li Canglan was proud, so he didn't insist after Shen Tian's rejection.
He just flung his sleeves and walked toward the God of War Pagoda. He wanted to put up a mind-blowing performance in this pagoda.
He wanted to let Shen Tian know just how invincible a true sword cultivator was. Wherever the sword wanted to go, nothing would stand in its way!
"Is Sword Venerable Long River preparing to enter the pagoda to battle?"
"This will be exciting. I wonder how high Sword Venerable Long River will be ranked according to the Celestial World standards."
"The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, is only ranked 6th on the God Of War List. Sword Venerable Long River should be in the top ten!" "Not necessarily. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's sixth ranking was achieved 1,000 years ago. He might be even more powerful now."
"Sword Venerable Long River is the number one Sword Venerable in the entire Eastern Wilderness. There is a chance of him entering the top five, or even the top three."
Sword Venerable Long River's battle attracted a bevy of powerful practitioners as spectators. They were all very curious just how high this formidable Sword Venerable would be able to climb in the rankings.
A multi-colored divine light shot out toward Sword Venerable Long River, transporting him into the God of War Pagoda.
"Youn- Middle-aged swordsman. Welcome to the God of War platform.
"You can spar all you like with prodigies from both the Celestial World and the normal world on this platform.
"If you beat these prodigies, you can have all kinds of precious secret legacy techniques.
"Also, if you perform well enough, your name will be carved onto the God of War Tablet!"
The Pagoda Spirit's voice rang out. Two tablets slowly rose on either side of Sword Venerable Long River.
Rows of names were carved onto the ancient tablets.
"The God of War Tablet records the rankings of all the prodigies from this world who have battled in the pagoda.
"The God of War New Talent Tablet records the rankings of prodigies only from the current century."
Sword Venerable Long River thought about it. He scanned the tablets with sharp eyes as if trying to find something.
After some time, he asked in a mild voice, "I heard that only a Seven-Star Prodigy is able to get the God of War Pagoda to recognize them as its owner. Why is the first place on the table just a Six-Star Prodigy?"
The Pagoda Spirit answered, "This is because the Seven-Star Prodigy chose not to be named on the tablet."
Sword Venerable Long River frowned slightly. "Seven-Star Prodigy? I am very curious as to how powerful a Seven-Star Prodigy is."
The Pagoda Spirit answered, "Do you want to challenge a Seven-Star Prodigy? Your opponent will be chosen at random, and the cultivation levels of both sides will be suppressed to the same level."
Sword Venerable Long River radiated with an intense battle aura. "Alright, I will challenge a Seven-Star Prodigy today then!"
"Challenge confirmed. Matching opponent..." "Matching complete. Let the battle begin!"
