Chapter 305: Star Island Trial Begins, Kun Ming Out of Seclusion

What did "he could track the fortuitous opportunity in real-time" mean?

Simply put, Shen Tian could lock onto the location of others' fortuitous opportunities anytime.

Previously, each time Shen Tian freeloaded onto others' fortuitous opportunities, he would first see the whole process of how the fortuitous opportunity would be obtained in the target person's halo.

Afterward, he would then think of ways to determine the target person's fortuitous opportunity through specific markings like the route taken, road marker tablets, or plaques.

Although such a method of freeloading the fortuitous opportunity was quite useful, the restrictions were too many. It was also troublesome and easy to make mistakes.

Previously, when Shen Tian had a green providence halo, he had directly headed straight into the mountain valley enshrouded by spirit fog because of wrong judgment and had almost been sucked dry.

Afterward, when red light had appeared on his green providence halo, did Shen Tian obtain the ability to determine when the fortuitous opportunity would occur.

Since then, Shen Tian could accurately obtain the specific time when the target person would obtain the fortuitous opportunity when he looked at their halos.

However, it was still not safe enough!

The reason was simple as most fortuitous opportunities might vary.

Shen Tian might directly miss the fortuitous opportunity if he reached overly early or late.

Such an example was when he had been waiting in Black Mountain City for the Mosquito Demon. He had to make a move and stop it at the most precise timing.

If he had arrived too early, he would not have encountered the Mosquito Demon, so he could only wait patiently. However, if he had arrived too late, then it might have all been in vain.

Shen Tian was about to take part in the Chaotic Star Island trial. He had heard from the White Prince and others that this Chaotic Star Island was extremely miraculous since it was completely covered by chaotic aura.

Chaotic Star Island would float above the sea and be moved constantly by the chaotic aura. Thus, its location was ever-changing.

Due to the influence of the chaotic aura, the whole Chaotic Star Island was enveloped in chaotic aura, so it was extremely difficult to distinguish the direction.

Under such a situation, even if Shen Tian could see the fortuitous opportunity beforehand, it would be difficult for him to find an object of reference.

However, after obtaining the ability to track the fortuitous opportunity in real-time, everything was different.

For example, if Shen Tian saw a fortuitous opportunity that Qi Shaoxuan had obtained on a certain island, he would have to enter the island at that specific time since the Chaotic Star Islands' location would change anytime.

Once he missed that specific timing, even if Shen Tian found the island's position in the scene he saw in the halo, that island might have already gone somewhere else.

At the same time, the Chaotic Star Islands could change their topography anytime, so it would be challenging for Shen Tian to find an accurate object of reference.

However, those were no longer problems now.

As long as Shen Tian saw the process of that fortuitous opportunity on top of Qi Shaoxuan's head, he could directly lock onto the location. He would be able to find it no matter how the islands moved.

Shen Tian became full of confidence as he gained this new ability before the trial even started. He already could not resist his urge to go all out!

This GPS appeared just in time!

At that thought, Shen Tian smiled.

On the other side, Qi Shaoxuan's Nascent Soul breakthrough had also gradually reached the end.

His Nascent Soul's four limbs had already completely broken out of the Golden Core.

Qi Shaoxuan was still absorbing the Sea God's Star Tear, converting into the purest spiritual energy.

His Nascent Soul turned brighter and brighter as if it was carved by purple jade.

Crack!

His Golden Core had started to shatter completely, and a miniature-sized Qi Shaoxuan in purple armor appeared before everyone majestically.

Roar!

The miniature-sized Qi Shaoxuan slowly raised its head, and although its body was only the size of a pigeon's egg, it emitted a monstrous dragon aura.

The purple light in its hands gathered to form a magnificent dragon halberd, which made him look domineering.

Everyone in the Heavenly Music Parlor instantly felt threatened.

The current Qi Shaoxuan was obviously much stronger than before!

Within a certain private room on the second floor...

Bi Xuanqing flicked his tongue out. He looked toward the private room where Shen Tian was in fear.

"That guy broke through."

Qi Shaoxuan did not purposely conceal his aura, so Bi Xuanqing felt immense pressure from his bloodline.

One had to know that before Qi Shaoxuan successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage, he could suppress Bi Xuanqing and had even defeated Bi Xuanqing.

Now that Qi Shaoxuan had further improved his strength, Bi Xuanqing felt that he no longer had any confidence in winning if the two of them had another fair battle. Instead, he might suffer a crushing defeat.

Damn it! Why are there so many human prodigies in this generation? Does the Heavenly Dao really favor the humans!?

If this guy cultivates for 300 years, then even Kun Ming might not be able to defeat him!

On the top floor, in the room where the Mermaid Princess Yu Pianxian was...

After sensing the sudden surge in Qi Shaoxuan's soul's strength, Yu Pianxian's face darkened.

A supreme treasure that could increase the strength of one's soul was extremely rare in this world. It was not that simple to obtain such an item!

Also, Qi Shaoxuan's soul's strength started to increase substantially not long after Shen Tian had left in a hurry and returned to the private room. It was just too coincidental!

Yu Pianxian gradually lifted her slender and white hands and instantly formed mysterious array formations in the air, shining radiantly in blue light.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment. "The Divine Firmament Saint is so decisive! He actually gave the Sea God's Star Tear to Qi Shaoxuan to help him with his breakthrough."

One had to know that Yu Pianxian had heard from the White Prince that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and Purple Mansion Sacred Ground were not on good terms.

Also, the Purple Mansion Saint had blatantly headed to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to challenge them.

Given their relationship, just why did Shen Tian give him the Star Tear?

Is it because he's too invincible in Eastern Wilderness, so he wants to nurture an opponent for him?

Or is it because the Divine Firmament Saint thinks nothing of Qi Shaoxuan, so he wants to dominate him with absolute strength?

As expected of the person I have set my eyes on! He's really outstanding. Not only does he have unparalleled handsomeness, but he's also extremely generous!

Hmph! This time I'll definitely think of a way to tie the Divine Firmament Saint onto the same boat.

I'll tell Father right after I return that we, the Mermaid race, also need a human partner!

Everyone within the Heavenly Music Parlor's various private rooms had their attention on Qi Shaoxuan.

However, there was only Shen Tian in Qi Shaoxuan's eyes.

"Shen Tian, I never show my weakness to anyone, so I don't want to owe you!"

Qi Shaoxuan succeeded in breaking through, but he was not that elated.

On the contrary, Shen Tian had bound him and even stuffed the vines into his mouth under everyone's watchful gazes.

Although he obviously knew that it was all for his own good, Qi Shaoxuan felt ashamed. It was a real social death.

After taking a deep breath, Qi Shaoxuan said, "Take it that I borrowed the Sea God's Star Tear from you. I'll definitely return it after this trial ends.

"Also, after Brother Shen reaches the Nascent Soul stage, I hope to be able to battle Brother Shen again. Although I am temporarily weaker than Brother Shen, I won't admit defeat!"

Shen Tian was slightly stunned upon seeing how Qi Shaoxuan was in high spirits after successfully reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

So he regained his confidence again?

Is he the legendary Qi•Sasuke•Shaoxuan?

However, it was a good thing for youngsters to have motivation. Only if he does not admit defeat and goes on more adventures will I have the chance to freeload more fortuitous opportunities!

At that thought, Shen Tian patted Qi Shaoxuan's shoulder in gratification.

"Brother Qi is persistent. You indeed have the potential to become a Thearch. I can promise to battle with Brother Qi after I reach the Nascent Soul stage, but I have a condition."

Qi Shaoxuan's eyes lit up, and he lifted his chin slightly. "Brother Shen, just tell me."

Shen Tian smiled and said, "It's the Mermaid Princess, Yu Pianxian, who gifted this Sea God's Star Tear to me.

"In return, I promised to protect her in this trial, so I hope Brother Qi can travel together with me."

Travel with Brother Shen to protect that Mermaid Princess?

Qi Shaoxuan frowned. Frankly speaking, from Qi Shaoxuan's point of view, he thought that danger and opportunity were two sides of the coin in Chaotic Star Island. Thus, it was not suitable to travel with many people.

If it was only Shen Tian and Ao Wu with him, Qi Shaoxuan would naturally have no qualms. He could also maybe accept the four princes.

However, Qi Shaoxuan was hesitant to bring the Mermaid Princess, who was just baggage, together in the trial.

As everyone knew, Mermaids did not have outstanding battle prowess. If they encountered dangers in Chaotic Star Island, Yu Pianxian would most likely be a burden.

Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian in disapproval, but he said, "Since Brother Shen has already decided, I'll agree to your condition then."

After finishing, he turned and walked out of the private room. "I've just finished breaking through, so I will need to spend some time to stabilize my cultivation level. I shall take my leave first.

"When the Chaotic Star Island trial begins, I shall come out and join all of you. I'll take my leave now."

Qi Shaoxuan's voice turned faded as he walked further away until his figure completely disappeared at the end of the path.

He seemed to have left deliberately and hastily.

Yeap, it might be related to the social death he experienced.

Qi Shaoxuan entered seclusion after returning.

On the other hand, Shen Tian started playing within the City of Bliss, with the four princes playing the host.

To be honest, the City of Bliss indeed had its uniqueness to be called the City Of Bliss.

Besides the delicate and charming Clam fairies and the Mermaid Princess, the delicacies, wine, and rare treasure in this city that was from all over the ocean were countless.

Shen Tian experienced the enjoyment of spending money without concerns, while the Crab Prince paid for everything.

Shen Tian would eat, drink, play, and listen to songs. He would occasionally visit the Heavenly Music Parlor to visit the Clam fairies to see them dance the Seaweed Dance.

One month's time passed extraordinarily fast and enjoyably.

As the date to enter Chaotic Star Island approached, the number of people in the City Of Bliss increased more and more.

Shen Tian saw many ocean demons that he had never seen before. Most of them were fish demons, and of course, there was no lack of ocean demons like Seahorse and Seal demons.

Most of these demons did not have a powerful background and were not extremely strong either. Thus, they had no qualifications to enter the trial.

Only a small portion that the major races of the ocean demons had recognized could enter the trial as exceptions. At the same time, it was to appease the emotions of those loner ocean demons.

Of course, there were a few "loner" ocean demons without any powerful backing, who were quite powerful.

For example, a certain Seal demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage could battle Er Tongtian and not lose. Or a certain Abalone demon that was even faster than Bi Xuanqing.

Anyway, too many prodigies had come for the Chaotic Star Island trial.

The whole City of Bliss seemed to be bustling with liveliness in the past few days and became even more prosperous and extravagant.

At the same time, an explosive piece of news shook the whole North Sea, and everyone focused their attention on Shen Tian.

The news was: "The Great Void Kun Prince, Kun Ming, has officially come out of seclusion and has challenged the Divine Firmament Saint in public!"

One had to know that Kun Ming was an invincible Nirvana demon, but he targeted such a young Saint.

Black Dragon Island strongly condemned such actions.

Chapter 306: Mermaid Princess Laid Eggs?!!!

"Such a joke! Kun Ming was already at the Nirvana stage 300 years ago. And after 300 years, his cultivation level is most likely already close to the Mighty Prowess stage. Yet he challenges the Divine Firmament Saint, who is at the Golden Body stage?"

"That's right. Although we, the North Sea's demon race, are not on good terms with the humans, he's too shameless! Challenging a prodigy that is a whole stage lower than him, it's a disgrace."

"Why would Prince Kun Ming suddenly challenge the Divine Firmament Saint? It's disreputable to win and even more humiliating if he loses."

"It's definitely impossible for him to lose as it's a piece of cake for Prince Kun Ming to win against the Divine Firmament Saint."

"I heard that it's because the Mermaid Princess had summoned the Divine Firmament Saint to her room."

"It's not just because the Divine Firmament Saint entered her room. Do you know why Prince Kun Ming is so angry? It's because the Divine Firmament Saint had spent the night in the Mermaid Princess' room!"

"To be honest with you, I was also present, so I can prove that the Divine Firmament Saint had a very enjoyable time in the Mermaid Princess' room. His legs even gave way on the next day when he came out."

"Your information is too outdated. My third uncle's seventh uncle's granddaughter-in-law is from the Mermaid race, so I have insider information. Princess Pianxian has already entered seclusion to lay eggs and prepare for birth."

"OMG! Such thrilling news? It's no wonder then. Prince Kun Ming had always thought of the Mermaid Princess as his and had been pursuing her relentlessly. Who else would dare to fight with Prince Kun Ming for the Mermaid Princess?"

"The Divine Firmament Saint is really courageous, actually daring to have an affair with the Mermaid Princess!"

"I'm jealous! I also want to lay eggs for the Divine Firmament Saint!"

As the news of Kun Ming challenging Shen Tian spread, the whole North Sea became excited in an instant.

As long as one walked on the City Of Bliss' roads, one could hear the discussions about the battle between Kun Ming and Shen Tian no matter where.

However, Shen Tian, the one being challenged, did not know of such a "battle" as Black Dragon Island had directly decided to suppress such an incident.

Are you joking?

We, North Sea's Black Dragon Island, have finally regained our ancestor, Ao Bing. We're relying on her to see if Black Dragon Island can rise up again in the future.

We're willing to do anything for her!

But now, you tell us that this Great Void Kun kid prepares to challenge the Divine Firmament Saint? Ha, why don't you see if your seniority is enough?

If we let Kun Ming beat up Shen Tian, we won't have the face to meet Ao Bing and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground again!

Thus, on that day itself, Black Dragon King Ao Ye headed toward the Great Void Kun race's headquarters and directly started pressuring them.

After discovering that pressuring them was useless, Ao Ye decided to convince them by reasoning.

In the end, Ao Ye fought with the current Great Void Kun King, and they successfully came to a perfect consensus.

Challenge ceased!

Kun Ming felt aggrieved as he chose to take back his challenge against the Divine Firmament Saint. However, his discontentment climbed to new heights.

Haha, a human Saint is nothing much. He's actually afraid of death and does not even dare to accept my challenge, such a coward!

Why would Pianxian take a liking to this guy? Is it because he's good at sweet-talking?

Despicable human, you think this is over with Black Dragon Island covering for you?

Once we enter Chaotic Star Island, it's best that we don't meet! Or else, I'll have your guts for garters!

Ahchoo!

A certain handsome young man sneezed while taking a bath in the specially made "underwater mud bath" and applying a facial mask.

As the Chaotic Star Island trial was about to begin, the City of Bliss's atmosphere became much tenser. He even had to make an appointment for the underwater mud spa.

It was all thanks to the Crab Prince, who had signed up for VIP membership throughout the City of Bliss. Otherwise, Shen Tian might not be able to enjoy such a service now.

Comfortable!

Shen Tian could not help but exclaim upon sensing the ball of soft and warm fluid completely enveloping him.

The four princes and Ao Wu were beside Shen Tian, buried within the underwater mud.

Well, Qi Shaoxuan had yet to exit seclusion.

"Tomorrow is the day we can enter Chaotic Star Island. So how are your preparations, Brother Shen?"

The White Prince looked at Shen Tian and asked in curiosity, "I heard that Brother Shen is the most powerful Son of Providence Eastern Wilderness has ever seen. I believe you should have a well-thought-out plan for the Chaotic Star Island trial!"

Shen Tian opened his eyes and took a look at everyone else before closing his eyes in comfort again.

He smiled and said, "There should be no problem. We can form a team and enter the trial together. We can take care of each other."

After Shen Tian said those words, the four princes were obviously elated.

Obviously, Shen Tian's invitation was a surprise to them as they had originally thought Shen Tian would go alone. After all, given the strength of being able to instantly kill Er Tongtian that he had shown previously, he was one of the best even when compared to the prodigies under 500 years old in the whole North Sea.

Having such a powerful prodigy traveling together in Chaotic Star Island was hard to come by. Normally, they would choose powerful cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage as companions.

Although the four princes were the four great races' core prodigies, they were still too young and had yet to enter the Nirvana stage.

To Shen Tian, bringing the four princes along should be an arduous but fruitless task.

That's because if they really encountered dangers, the four princes might be burdens to Shen Tian.

The Divine Firmament Saint Shen Tian valued friendship and loyalty so highly that it made them extremely touched!

The Crab Prince was on the brink of tears as he waved his pincers.

"Owner, extend the time! We want the most expensive beauties!"

That night, Shen Tian felt that time had passed faster than ever, and very enjoyably at that.

The next day...

The quaking ground's rumbles resounded throughout the ocean.

The City of Bliss felt the largest impact as the whole city was shaking vigorously.

That was caused by the forming of cracks in the space because of Chaotic Star Island's emergence. Most ocean demons were already used to it.

The trembling continued for about an hour before completely returning to normal.

If one stood at a high place in the City of Bliss and looked toward Chaotic Star Island's direction, one would be able to see clearly that the Chaos Array, which was originally concealed, was now filled with cracks.

One would be able to vaguely see through those cracks the islands floating in mid-air.

Spirit Qi surged crazily like a tide through the array's cracks in all directions. It was an astonishing feast of Spirit Qi!

To most ocean demons without the qualifications to enter Chaotic Star Island, just the Spirit Qi released by the Chaos Array's opening was already quite the fortuitous opportunity.

The Chaotic Star Island's trial would last for one year, and if one could absorb such an abundance of Spirit Qi outside the Chaos Array, cultivating for one year could be compared to cultivating 100 years in other places that lacked Spirit Qi!

This was a grand feast!

Countless demons revealed their true forms and greedily devoured the Spirit Qi.

Meanwhile, the prodigies who had the qualifications to enter the trial started heading inside under their elders' protection.

As the Black Dragon race's human partner, Shen Tian would naturally enter the array with Ao Wu and Qi Shaoxuan. Shen Tian even seemed to be the leader.

It was worth mentioning that when the Dragon race elders were about to send Shen Tian and the other two into the array, Kun Ming headed toward them.

This peerless prodigy from the Great Void Kun race was simply too formidable!

Chapter 307: Can't Blame Me For Being Handsome

Kun Ming was clad in blue battle armor, and he was nine feet tall. He carried dual blades behind him and emitted a domineering aura as if he could conquer mountains and rivers.

His eyes were shining as he blinked. It was as if he could see through others. One would unconsciously quake with terror and dare not exchange gazes with him.

It was obvious that Kun Ming's cultivation level had already reached an extraordinary stage.

Even among the Demon Venerables in the Nirvana (Nascent Soul) stage, Kun Ming was definitely one of the most powerful.

If normal Nascent Soul Supremacies were to battle with Kun Ming, they might not even last one strike and would instantly be killed.

If there were no truly talented Supremacies, even if up to 100 normal Supremacies worked together, they would still not be Kun Ming's opponent.

Kun Ming would most likely strike them down one by one.

"Who is Shen Tian? Come out!"

Kun Ming spoke slowly. His tone was filled with the haughtiness of looking down on others.

A Kun avatar that was tens of thousands of feet in length appeared behind him. It was so humongous it covered the whole sky.

The instant the huge Kun avatar appeared, all the young prodigies trembled. They could sense a huge pressure on them. It was as if their blood was about to be frozen.

Seeing how Kun Ming did not come with good intentions, Black Dragon Island's elders instantly stood in front of Shen Tian and the others.

"Kun Ming, the Divine Firmament Saint is the human partner of the Dragon race. Be more respectful toward him!"

The Black Dragon Island elders were all powerful beings in the Mighty Prowess (Soul Formation) stage, so even if Kun Ming could be said to be invincible among Supremacies, they were not afraid.

Black Dragon avatars appeared behind each elder to oppose Kun Ming's avatar, helping Ao Wu and the others to reduce Kun Ming's pressure.

Boom!

In that instant, a great storm was stirred up outside Chaotic Star Island.

An immense amount of water surged into the sky. Then, as if there was heavy rain, rainbows were reflected by the sunlight.

Kun Ming was directly knocked back while the three Black Dragon Island's elders frowned, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Although they had successfully knocked back Kun Ming by joining hands, Kun Ming's power made them somewhat concerned.

Everyone had underestimated this Kun Princ. His talent and strength had far exceeded everyone's evaluation.

After the passage of 300 years, Kun Ming's cultivation level was just a step away from the Mighty Prowess stage that was above the Nirvana stage.

Meanwhile, his attack using his avatar just now was already on the level of Mighty Prowess stage and even more powerful than normal Mighty Prowess cultivators.

If not for that, it would have been impossible for Kun Ming to have withstood the three Mighty Prowess elders' joint attack by himself.

One had to know that the three Heavenly Venerable Black Dragons were not weaklings!

"Haha, three old things want to stop me by joining hands?

"Are you Shen Tian? That bastard who is pestering my Pianxian?"

Kun Ming scoffed as he looked at Shen Tian,

"As the Divine Firmament Saint, you don't even dare to fight me?"

His arrogance was reflected thoroughly through his words!

Before Shen Tian spoke, Qi Shaoxuan frowned.

"How impressive? You're not even a Sage, even though you're already 400 years old. You're unworthy of challenging Brother Shen!"

Just as he finished, the Heaven's Halberd in Qi Shaoxuan's hands shone with sharpness.

A purple dragon tens of thousands of feet long behind him roared to the sky, and the whole sky was instantly brightly lit.

The mighty dragon aura instantly surged throughout the sky. It was actually on par with Kun Ming's.

"You really have the face to challenge Brother Shen, who is only at the Golden Body realm when you're already at the Nirvana stage? Come fight with me first and let me see how powerful you are!"

After finishing, Qi Shaoxuan's purple aura dyed the sky purple, serving as a background for the purple dragon.

After stabilizing his Nascent Soul during this one month of seclusion, Qi Shaoxuan's battle prowess had reached a whole new level.

He was the man who had the potential of a Thearch!

Kun Ming looked straight at Qi Shaoxuan and was filled with battle intent.

"Human, you are strong.

"However, the time you're in the Nascent Soul stage is too short. You might have been able to fight neck and neck with me 300 years ago.

"However, you're no match for me now. So obediently give up!"

After finishing, Kun Ming still looked toward Shen Tian intently and scoffed.

"Forget it, with these old things protecting you today, I'll let you off the hook.

"However, Chaotic Star Island only allows cultivators younger than 500 years old to enter. They won't be able to continue protecting you, just wait and see!"

After finishing, Kun Ming snorted and directly walked toward the Chaos Array's crack.

Shen Tian was silent from the beginning till the end. He only focused on Kun Ming's head, full of concentration and passion.

"Brother Shen, I know that your battle prowess is astonishing, so you might not necessarily lose to this haughty fellow.

"However, the most important thing now is the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage. There's no hurry to teach this fellow a lesson."

Qi Shaoxuan saw that Shen Tian kept on staring at Kun Ming, so he thought that the latter had enraged Shen Tian.

Thus, he hurriedly scoffed. "He's just an over 400-year-old fish. If I train for another 400 years, I can wipe him out with just a flick of my finger.

"After Brother Shen successfully reaches the Nascent Soul or Nirvana stage, that fellow will only be a joke."

As Eastern Wilderness' "previous" strongest prodigy, Qi Shaoxuan had his own pride. He had the confidence not to lose to anyone besides Shen Tian in the five regions.

At the same time, Qi Shaoxuan had also set Shen Tian as his target, and only he was worthy of defeating Shen Tian.

He did not allow this shameless fish to defeat Shen Tian through having a higher cultivation level—that was humiliation toward Brother Shen.

Qi Shaoxuan only wanted to defeat Brother Shen when they were at the same cultivation level in the future—that was the battle of prodigies!

Shen Tian did not know what Qi Shaoxuan was thinking as all his attention was on Kun Ming's head. He did not notice what they were talking about at all.

Well, they were not a threat to him anyway.

However, Shen Tian could not help but think highly of Kun Ming as his providence halo was actually gold with purple light.

Is it now common for people to have such extremely good providence?

A Son of Providence with purple light appears so frequently... It's really awkward for the red-halo me!

Shen Tian could not help but break out in cold sweat!

When can I really become a lucky guy with a golden halo or, even better, pure purple halo?

"Saint Tian, there's no need to be afraid. The locations in Chaotic Star Island will change constantly, so it's extremely difficult to trace others.

"Also, the Chaotic Star Island is filled with chaotic aura, so one's divine consciousness is basically useless."

Seeing how "solemn" Shen Tian's expression was, he thought that most likely Shen Tian was worried about Kun Ming targeting him.

The Black Dragon Island's elder comforted Shen Tian, "As long as you don't enter Chaotic Star Island at the same time with Kun Ming, then you don't really need to worry that you might run into him."

Don't need to worry about running into him?

Shen Tian was stunned. Why did he need to worry about running into him?

It might be unbelievable, but if possible, I even want to become sworn brothers with him!

Any prodigy with purple light is the best sheep to fleece.

Whether I am able to become lucky sooner depends on how fast their wool grows.

However, from the situation now, Kun Ming seemed to have misunderstood me.

I vaguely recall that it's because of the Mermaid Princess?

Sigh... It's indeed jealousy and animosity because of girls.

Seeing Kun Ming's figure leaving in a rage, Shen Tian could not help but sigh.

He really wanted to tell Kun Ming to be more rational.

You really can't blame me for being this handsome!

Chapter 308: A Cursed Sea Domain

A thick, chaotic aura whirled continuously inside the massive array.

It was a terrifying power. Even a Sage's power would be completely engulfed and dispersed if they came into contact with that aura.

It was rumored that Chaotic Star Island was not a mystic realm of this world. It was formed from the fallen remnants of alien stars.

There was another saying that the island inside this Chaos Array was a fallen mystic realm from the Celestial World.

Anyway, regardless of its origins, Chaotic Star Island had a transcendent reputation across the five regions. It was a forbidden area in North Sea.

Only humans who the top demon races had acknowledged could enter this mystic realm to seek out the treasures there.

Of course, it was also because of this mystic realm that the top races, like Black Dragons and Great Void Kuns, could flourish and be as powerful as they were today.

The Chaos Array was already starting to crack, and obvious gaps were already showing.

One could see the azure blue waters inside the Chaos Array, as well as those islands floating upon those waters, all covered in a thick layer of Spirit Qi through these gaps. All sorts of exotic plants grew across the islands.

In addition, many adorable creatures were playing amongst those exotic plants.

White rabbits were eating grass, magpies were cleaning their feathers on the tree branches, baby turtles were sunning themselves on the beach, fishes were frolicking in the waters...

It was an otherworldly paradise, peaceful and harmonious. One immediately felt calm and tranquil just looking at it.

"Divine Firmament Saint, Purple Mansion Saint, you are both not from North Sea and might not know much about Chaotic Star Island."

The Dragon elder explained. "During this trial, you must remember three important points.

"Number one: Although the Chaos Array is opened now, it will only remain open for a year.

"Toward the end of that year, everyone must exit the array as soon as they can. Once the array closes up, and you are trapped inside, even a deity cannot save you."

Qi Shaoxuan shuddered.

He gazed at the creatures inside Chaotic Star Island and asked. "But aren't these living creatures surviving inside Chaotic Star Island?"

The Dragon elder shot Qi Shaoxuan a woeful look. "Those creatures are the transmogrifications of all the prodigies who didn't manage to leave the island in time."

Oh!

Spine-chilling!

The temperature seemed to drop at the Dragon elder's words.

Everyone gazed at Chaotic Star Island again, and their eyes betrayed a tinge lingering fear.

Those who couldn't leave Chaotic Star Island in time would be transmogrified into those small creatures? Lose all self-awareness?

This kind of curse was just too bizarre!

The Dragon elder added, "Greed is the greatest affliction inside Chaotic Star Island. It has resulted in the ruin of many prodigies in each trial.

"They were people who already found a lot of treasures but remained dissatisfied. They couldn't bear to leave even at the 12th month.

"When the Chaos Array starts to recover, there's a very high chance such people will be trapped within.

"Many of my good friends during my time were cursed and trapped forever because of that."

The White Prince nodded tensely. "I also have many elders who were trapped in the Chaos Array and never managed to come out."

The Dragon elder also nodded. "So I recommend everyone to explore the island as much as they can during the first nine months.

"But thereafter, you must start to make your way out. Perhaps you might even encounter some fortuitous opportunities in the periphery!

"After all, compared to those fortuitous opportunities, your lives are still much more important!"

Shen Tian nodded. "Thank you, sir, for your reminder."

The elder looked at Shen Tian with a satisfied eye. He continued. "Number two: there will be a faint chaotic aura swirling within the Chaos Array. The deeper you enter the array, the more prevalent this aura will be. It might even cover the entire island.

"Everyone must try their best to avoid this chaotic aura. Once it enters your body, it will be a huge drain on your essence energy.

"Your limbs will be broken if you suffer minor damage to your essence energy. But you might be completely dismembered if you suffer major damage.

"Apart from that, please do not think of bringing out any of those animals in the array. They are already cursed.

"The moment they leave Chaotic Star Island, their bodies will disintegrate into nothing."

There would still be chaotic aura inside the Chaos Array?

This was definitely bad news. This meant that during the trial, one must be on high alert all the time.

After all, it was a power that would threaten even a Sage.

The Dragon elder continued. "Number three: Those creatures in the Chaos Array are not as docile as you might think.

"All those who enter the Chaos Array for the trial must leave behind the live roots of any plant they gather. They must not kill off the entire plant. Otherwise, they will trigger an all-out attack. or even a terrifying beastly retaliation."

The Turtle Prince smiled. "Those tiny things. What can they possibly do to me?"

He had double protective shell armor and was very confident of his ability to protect himself.

The Dragon elder stared impassively at Wu Wudi. "Those creatures were morphed from powerful prodigies. Although they no longer have any self-awareness, their cultivation levels and battle prowess remain perfectly intact.

"If you push them too far, having several dozen rabbits execute the Dragon Claw technique on you is a very real possibility.

"There might also be a few hundred sparrows using their Emerald Cursed Sword to stab you to death.

"Anyway, do not let down your guard just because of how those creatures look. They are far more dangerous than they appear!"

The Dragon elder's eyes betrayed a tinge of lingering fear as he said those words. It was as if he was recalling some distressing memory.

Shen Tian nodded. "Senior, don't worry. I will look after Brother Qi, Ao Wu, and the rest."

Look after?

Do I need you to look after me?

What do you mean by that? Do I look like a three-year-old kid?

Qi Shaoxuan snorted. "I have already successfully cracked my core to form the Nascent Soul. I can take care of myself!

"And I have survived all sorts of mystic realms before. I have always had luck on my side. I won't meet with any danger!"

"Brother Shen just needs to look after Princess Pianxian and the rest!"

Oh? Sounds like this fellow is feeling rather aggrieved?

Shen Tian glanced at Qi Shaoxuan thoughtfully. But the latter just arrogantly tossed his head and turned away.

Although they were currently of the same level, Qi Shaoxuan felt that his battle prowess was still a tad lower than Shen Tian's.

But battle prowess was battle prowess. Providence was providence!

Qi Shaoxuan's battle prowess might be lower, but he had a natural providence protecting him.

Just look at his armor and halberd. They were invaluable Divine artifacts. In addition, he had gained all sorts of imperial sutras and legacies.

I am definitely the Son of Providence!

What did Shen Tian mean by he will look after me?

I still have my pride!

After some preparations, the time had come.

Shen Tian, Qi Shaoxuan, Ao Wu, the four princes, and Yu Pianxian were a team. Taking advantage of yet another ripple across the Chaos Array, they all shot through one of the cracks.

The chaotic aura forming the Chaos Array was extremely thick. Just that roiling energy alone was several thousands of feet thick.

It surged and ebbed like layers of clouds. But it was not white. Instead, it was an indescribable color. Somewhere between white and grey, it gave off a very creepy vibe.

It was like you might lose all sense of self and be submerged in the chaos if you just went near it.

Although the Chaos Array had already cracked, one still felt fearful and anxious when passing through the cracks.

It was not cowardice. It was the instinctive fear and respect that all living creatures had for the chaotic aura.

It was not easy to pass through the cracks. One would feel an immense pressure.

The distance was just several thousands of feet, but the prodigies spent over an hour to finally make it through.

As if they broke through an imperceptible layer, they suddenly felt very happy and carefree. It was like they had entered a brand new world.

This was an extremely vast and wide ocean region. The skies and ocean were as blue as precious jewels.

The sun hung in the middle of the sky. It was a mixed color, but it exuded an extremely strong energy.

Shen Tian's internal energy stirred. He realized that the Spirit Qi here was more than 10 times the amount on Saint Mountain.

What did this mean?

This meant that a Foundation Establishment cultivator's one day of cultivation here was the equivalent of 10 days on Saint Mountain.

One day here could even be the equivalent to several years in the grotto-heavens, blessed-lands, or the rest of the more commonplace regions.

They could even just do away with the need to cultivate with Spirit Stones, as the speed would be about the same.

This mystic realm was just too extraordinary!

"Created by nature's forces. I can't believe there is such a wondrous place on earth."

The black-dragon-armored Qi Shaoxuan took a deep breath and sighed.

Even with his astonishing providence and his vast experience of mystic realms, he had to admit that this Chaotic Star Island was extraordinary.

Just the periphery was already amazing. What would they encounter as they ventured deeper?

At that moment, a sudden shriek came from behind.

The chaotic aura behind them had suddenly surged forward, engulfing several ocean race prodigies.

They struggled to defend themselves, executing all sorts of powerful techniques. Dazzling beams of light and avatars appeared.

But it was all to no avail. All the attacks dissipated completely the moment they made contact with the chaotic aura.

Moreover, the chaotic aura seemed to be incensed. It surged even more aggressively toward those prodigies.

Those prodigies were soon completely engulfed by the chaotic aura.

Their physical bodies started to dissipate. All their Spirit artifacts and protective talismans were dissolved into nothing. It was a spine-chilling sight.

"No! Why is this happening?

"Why is this stupid chaotic aura targeting me? It's not fair!

"Help! I am the Prince of the Sea Anemone race. Who can save me? I can give you all my precious treasures!

"Charge in! Just charge in, and you can save me!

"I refuse to die. I will not fall that easily!"

One of the prodigies looked like he had gone insane. He tore apart a certain forbidden talisman, and his body instantly morphed into a shadow, tunneling through the chaotic aura.

Just as he was smiling in relief, the chaotic aura behind him erupted.

Terrifying wave-like energy morphed into a giant palm and smashed him to death.

In the blink of an eye, that powerful prodigy transformed into a red fish and dropped into the sea.

Ripples formed on the surface of the endless sea. But after just a few moments, all was calm again.

To the great ocean, the great Chaotic Star Island domain...

It was like nothing had happened.

Chapter 309: Survivorship Bias Results In Death!

Spine-chilling!

This scene unfolded right in front of everyone.

It was a total of five ocean race prodigies, and each of them was above the Nascent Soul stage.

No matter from which race one was, those with cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul were already counted as powerful upper-level cultivators.

However, regardless of Demon Venerables or renown treasures, they were all vulnerable before the Chaos Array—they were unable to withstand even a single blow. What a joke!

Νo matter what kind of extraordinary technique or astonishing secluded treasure they might be, the chaotic aura would instantly disintegrate them into nothingness once it engulfed them.

It was useless even if one did succeed in entering Chaotic Star Island as they would only be cursed to become animals without intelligence.

"They should be cultivators that were older than 500 years old but still tried to secretly deceive the Chaos Array."

The Mermaid Princess seemed to be unable to bear such a sight. "Every time the Chaotic Star Island trial begins, there will always be such people."

No matter the world, they never lacked people that would try to challenge the law personally.

The Chaos Array allowed only prodigies below the age of 500 to enter. Once one was older than that, they would be attacked by the array.

However, even though everyone was aware of this matter, many prodigies would still succumb to their greediness and make a futile attempt to deceive Chaotic Star Island's array.

Some of the methods they used were cultivating again by undergoing Nirvana, changing their bones' age, stealing others' bodies, and cultivating certain forbidden mystic arts.

In fact, it was not that none had succeeded using such mystic arts to enter Chaotic Star Island.

On the contrary, there were quite a number of successful cases.

Almost every time the Chaotic Star Island trial began, news of people who were obviously older than 500 years old but still succeeded in entering the array would spread.

Meanwhile, the method for their success was basically the same as what the other cultivators had done.

It seemed to be based purely on luck whether one would be able to deceive the array.

Well, no one would think that one's luck was bad—they would all believe that they were the lucky ones.

Because of such a mindset, many people would choose to take the risk whenever Chaotic Star Island opened. It had already become a common occurrence.

Survivorship bias resulted in death.

"How did a Demon Venerable turn into a small fish?"

Wu Wudi's interest was piqued as he watched the small fish, which was swimming happily within the ocean, even looking a little foolish.

He bent down slightly in front of that small fish and directly lifted a ball of water with the little fish inside after forming seals. He then looked at that small fish curiously.

That little fish had silver scales, and only the scales on its tail were red. It looked kind of like a carp, but it did not emit any aura of a powerful being at all.

It was as if it was just a normal fish.

He stretched out his hand to poke the fishtail.

"Would this fish be able to revert to its original form even though it's cursed by the chaotic aura?"

The White Prince said helplessly, "Someone had tried to bring a few fish that were cursed out of Chaotic Star Island. In the end, those fish directly turned into nothingness.

"Let it go! Since they've chosen to take the risk to enter this array, they should have been prepared to be attacked by the array.

"Although a few people succeed each time, the number of people who fail surpasses 90%."

The Turtle Prince instantly lost all interest. "Then, this fish is useless?"

The White Prince was caught between laughter and tears. "Don't let your guard down. Although this fish has lost all intelligence, its cultivation level before becoming a fish is still—"

Tui!

Before the White Prince could finish, the small fish which was floating in mid-air due to the Turtle Prince's technique suddenly spat out seawater, directly splashing Wu Wudi's face.

Immediately after, the small fish's red tail smacked Wu Wudi.

At that moment, everyone seemed to have seen a red longsword slash at Wu Wudi.

Before Wu Wudi could wipe his face clean of the water, that longsword had already slashed onto his turtle shell.

Boom!

Bright sparks could be seen flying everywhere.

The tail sent Wu Wudi flying more than 1,000 feet away. There were obvious cracks on the turtle armor on his chest, and even his fat could be seen through it.

Meanwhile, marks could also be seen on Wu Wudi's face. It looked someone had stomped him, leaving a glaring footprint.

He, a Black Tortoise prince, had actually been smacked until his whole head was swollen. The small carp's sudden slap made the Turtle Prince tremble in anger.

"Wahhh!"

Wu Wudi's whole body radiated Qi Aura, while his turtle armor shone brightly in black light.

It was like a black sun had suddenly appeared in this ocean. Everyone could sense a powerful pressure on them.

"You still dare to offend me after turning into a fish? Eat my Turtle Fist!"

Although Wu Wudi looked just like a young man who was only slightly older than Ao Wu, his cultivation level was formidable.

When he used the Black Tortoise race's exclusive mystic art, Turtle Fist, the aura engulfing his fists suddenly surged.

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang bang!

A humongous Black Tortoise head would be formed and shoot toward that small fish with each punch.

Although he was only in the Golden Body realm now, his true battle prowess and attainment in fist techniques were quite powerful. He could indeed be on par with various Nascent Soul practitioners.

The impact of Wu Wudi's Black Tortoise's Turtle Fist knocked that small fish back into the sea in an instant.

And that was all. The Black Tortoise race was best in defense, so their attacking power was not amazing. Thus, he was unable to teach that fish a lesson.

After the fish dropped back into the sea, it directly dived into the depths of the ocean and disappeared.

The only thing left was the marks on Wu Wudi's face.

"That fish's battle prowess did not decrease even after being cursed by the Chaos Array!"

The Pure Heavenly Eye between Qi Shaoxuan's brows shone as if trying to see through something. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything.

"I have used my Pure Heavenly Eye to examine it, but that fish did not emit any aura. It seemed just like a normal fish." His face was solemn. "Strange, very strange! Brother Shen, what do you think?"

Shen Tian replied calmly, "Just as the Dragon elder said, such mutated beasts might appear anywhere in Chaotic Star Island and would look completely identical to normal beasts. Therefore, everyone needs to be extremely careful when exploring. Remember not to be rash. Or else, if a problem really arises, it will be extremely troublesome."

Yu Pianxian nodded. "I'll follow anything Brother Shen says."

She... even looked as if she was infatuated with Shen Tian.

As compared to her attitude previously in the Heavenly Music Parlor and to other prodigies, countless people would turn green with envy if they saw her attitude now.

The four princes looked at Shen Tian with resentment. Frankly speaking, if their clans were not on good terms with Black Dragon Island, they might even be unable to resist the urge to join Kun Ming's side.

Not only does he attract girls from the human race with his handsomeness, but he has also come to spread his charm to our female demons?

Does he really think that it's not difficult for North Sea's male demons to find a partner!?

Shen Tian took a look at Yu Pianxian's head before smiling and saying, "Since everyone trusts me, then follow me!"

After saying that, a pair of golden wings appeared behind Shen Tian, and he flew north. He could clearly sense that he was oppressed within this domain. His Feather Immortal Metal could reach only 10 to 20% of its original speed. Also, he had to be on guard and avoid the chaotic aura.

Although the chaotic aura scattered in the air was not a lot, it was extremely troublesome to dodge. One could easily meet with a mishap.

Everyone followed Shen Tian here and there. They saw quite a few islands on the way.

Most of the outer islands were only filled with thin chaotic aura and were basically safe for cultivators. Thus, they were crowded with cultivators.

Unsurprisingly, there were basically no precious treasures after years of looting. At least, not enough to move Shen Tian.

As everyone gradually got into Chaotic Star Island's deeper parts, the chaotic aura also started becoming thicker.

If one looked into the distance, they would see a vast expanse of whiteness hundreds of feet away. It was challenging to differentiate one's directions.

Had all prodigies on the island not brought along Tracking Stones to determine the entrance's location, they might even lose their way.

Meanwhile, the inner islands would be gradually surrounded by thick chaotic aura, their interior no longer clearly visible.

Cracks would periodically form on the dense aura barrier during the period this array formation was open.

Such a moment was the best chance for cultivators to enter the inner islands to explore and search for treasure.

Nevertheless, such an opportunity was fleeting. Maybe one might only encounter the aura barrier opening once in a few days.

One would need to be fully concentrated while waiting. It was not easy to endure.

At the same time, the cracks on the aura barrier would only last for a few seconds. As such, if one left halfway, they would directly miss the chance to enter the island.

One should avoid giving up halfway as it was pointless.

Well, even if the chaotic aura barrier opened, it was not that simple to enter the island. One also needed to endure a powerful repelling force.

It was extremely difficult to forcibly enter the island when there were a strong repelling force and only a small window of a few seconds.

If one was too weak, they might even be engulfed by the chaotic aura while entering the island and turn into mutated beasts.

That was also the main reason many prodigies would die in the Chaotic Star Island trial.

Greed, conceit, and hesitation would cause one to obtain nothing from Chaotic Star Island. They might even lose everything.

"Brother Shen, we've already passed by quite a few star islands. Why not go and take a look?"

The Crab Prince was full of reluctance. The Golden Crab race were natural-born merchants, so the most unbearable thing was the possibility of missing any treasures.

Even though they passed by two or three islands enshrouded by chaotic aura, Shen Tian continued leading the way.

Such a mentality was not good as many a time, powerful prodigies would think that the further they traveled, the better the fortuitous opportunities in the star islands.

In fact, each island surrounded by chaotic aura might have astonishing fortuitous opportunities hidden within or maybe only normal spirit herbs.

Thus, a wise decision would be to treasure the islands one encountered.

Shen Tian revealed a mysterious smile. "Don't worry. As long as you follow me, I will not disappoint you."

As he spoke, he took a look at Yu Pianxian. His eyes were burning with passion.

Yu Pianxian's heart thumped vigorously.

Brother Shen has secretly glanced at me countless times along the way.

Although it seems like Brother Shen was looking at my forehead instead of my face each time, he's definitely interested in me. He's been sneaking glances at me so frequently!

Yeap, it's definitely like this. I'm so smart!

Just as Yu Pianxian was turning red from letting her imagination run wild, Shen Tian suddenly stopped in front of an island.

This island was surrounded by thin chaotic aura and kept on moving as the array operated.

This star island looked completely normal. There was no difference between this star island and other star islands.

However, just as they reached the island, Shen Tian revealed a mysterious smile. "I think there should be quite a number of treasures on this island."

The more Yu Pianxian looked at Shen Tian's confident smile, the more infatuated she became.

"That's right, I also think there's definitely treasure on this island."

You too?

Is the Mermaid race this amazing?

You can even sense the treasures through the chaotic aura barrier?

Shen Tian was stunned. His evaluation of Yu Pianxian's ability improved by another level.

Since Shen Tian had chosen this island, Qi Shaoxuan and the others stopped, waiting for this aura barrier to open.

Actually, if they wanted to maximize the benefits, the easiest way would be to plunder others' fortuitous opportunities or for everyone to explore different islands. They would obtain immense benefits.

Sometimes, things were not so simple, however.

That was because one's ability to defend against dangers when searching for fortuitous opportunities alone would be much weaker.

Once one encountered mutated beasts' attacks or other dangers, the aid of one's comrades might save their life.

Also, although there were countless islands around Chaotic Star Island, there were many North Sea demons.

It's possible for different cultivators to choose the same island, and in such an isolated place, seizing treasures through slaughter was common.

Let's take for example someone exploring an island alone in search of fortuitous opportunities. After said cultivator risked their life to finally enter the star island and obtained the fortuitous opportunities within, they would happily decide to leave the island.

However, just as said cultivator exited the island, they might run into four or five powerful cultivators. By then, not only would said cultivator be taken advantage of and lose all their treasures, said cultivator might even lose their life.

In fact, in the North Sea trials a long time ago, many cultivators had done so.

Thus, many prodigies could only nurse a grievance!

In Shen Tian's group, only Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan truly belonged to the rank of top-notch prodigies that entered the trial.

As for Ao Wu and the four princes, they were only relatively strong cultivators. Ao Wu and Wu Wudi were too young, not even 100 years old.

As for the other three princes, their bloodline talent was far below that of Ao Wu's. Reaching such a cultivation level was already considered pretty good.

There was also the Mermaid Princess. Given her battle strength, she could just be a... cheerleader.

Everyone stayed outside this star island and silently waited for the aura barrier to open.

A total of three days passed as they waited. Other cultivators had also passed by during that period.

However, once they saw that the people in front of the island were Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan, they all made a wise decision to leave directly. After all, Qi Shaoxuan was a human prodigy that had dared to challenge Kun Ming. On the other hand, the Divine Firmament Saint, a Golden Core/Body cultivator, had even insta-defeated the Nirvana Er Tongtian.

Other than Kun Ming, basically, no one else would dare to provoke such a team.

As they meditated, three days passed in the blink of an eye. A crack that was tens of feet wide finally opened in the aura barrier.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they simultaneously flew toward that crack, trying their best to enter.

Huff!

After everyone passed through the crack, they appeared in this star island's air space.

In that instant, endless Spirit Qi surged toward them.

Everyone seemed to be reveling in the Spirit Qi of this island.

The amount of Spirit Qi was simply too astonishing!

Chapter 310: Awesome!

Next, they should be finding the fortuitous opportunities on this island.

Just then, a shocked look flashed across the Mermaid Princess' face. She took out a palm-sized jade plate, which was vibrating intensely.

Yu Pianxian took a deep breath and executed several hand seals. The plate gradually stopped vibrating.

Meanwhile, small red dots appeared on the originally flawless jade surface.

Yu Pianxian was stunned.

Too many. How could there be so many?

It was far beyond what she had imagined!

Ao Wu peered over her shoulder and counted. He saw five small dots on the jade plate.

He smiled. "Sister Pianxian, what is that?"

Yu Pianxian took a deep breath. "This is a special treasure-seeking jade plate that belongs to my race. It can locate Sea God's Star Tears within a certain radius.

"Never expected for this island to have so many Sea God's Star Tears. It is beyond imagination!"

Each small red dot represented one Sea God's Star Tear?

Qi Shaoxuan's eyes brightened. He had used a Sea God's Star Tear before and knew how effective it was.

To these prodigies, every second counted. The value of one Sea God's Star Tear was even higher than a superior-grade Spirit artifact.

After all, as powerful as a superior-grade Spirit artifact was, it was just an external supplement. But the Sea God's Star Tear could directly strengthen one's soul and enhance one's abilities.

Let's just look at Qi Shaoxuan. He had multiple Divine artifacts on him, but those supreme-grade Divine artifacts were useless to him then.

He was willing to exchange all of them for one Sea God's Star Tear. At least, it would directly enhance his power.

The Sea God's Star Tear was extremely beneficial, and it was also very rare.

Chaotic Star Island only opened once every three years. Less than 100 Sea God's Star Tears would appear each time.

These 100 Sea God's Star Tears would always end up being found and used by those prodigies to enhance their power and achieve better refinement.

Only a small number of prodigies would bring their Sea God's Star Tear out onto the market to sell.

As a result, it was an extremely rare and expensive commodity.

"Five red dots. Does this mean there are five Sea God's Star Tears? Even if we find nothing else on this island, this alone will be a great loot."

A greedy smile appeared on the Crab Prince's face. "The Divine Firmament Saint does have astonishing providence. You just chose an island at random, and it contains so many treasures."

Yu Pianxian shook her head. "No, not just five Sea God's Star Tears."

Everyone was shocked. Yu Pianxian continued to stare at the jade plate. "It is not easy to detect the aura of a Sea God's Star Tear. My jade plate can only detect Star Tears within a radius of several miles.

"And this island is at least hundreds of miles wide. This means there might be a lot more Sea God's Star Tears in the rest of the island!"

At that, Yu Pianxian flew around the periphery of the island.

The positions of the red dots on the plate were indeed shifting accordingly. Some started to shift out of the jade plate.

At the same time, new red dots appeared elsewhere on the plate. About three to eight red dots were on the plate at any one time Yu Pianxian flew around.

It proved that there were many more Sea God's Star Tears on this island!

Oh!

Even though they were all core prodigies of the various North Sea ocean races, this piece of news was still a great shock to them.

If there were already five Sea God's Star Tears within a radius of 10 miles, how many more would there be on this island?

How many Sea God's Star Tears would there be in this island, which was over hundreds of miles wide?

Meanwhile, there were also Sea God's Star Tears scattered in other areas. Was a Sea God's Star Tear something that could be that commonly found?

Yu Pianxian gazed at Shen Tian. Her beautiful eyes were full of worship and passion.

The information she had gathered earlier about Shen Tian had indeed been right. He was the Son of Providence.

There were many smaller individual islands within the Chaotic Star Island region, yet Shen Tian had just chosen one at random, and there were already so many Sea God's Star Tears within.

If they found them all, it would be at least 300-400 Star Tears.

What did this mean?

If they spread this information out, all the North Sea races would go crazy over this.

The Divine Firmament Saint was really a lucky star!

Not only was he exceptionally handsome, but he was also talented beyond imagination. Perfect.

Love! Love! Love!

Shen Tian smiled. "According to the jade plate, this island has more than enough Star Tears for us.

"In my opinion, Princess Pianxian contributed quite a bit to find these stars. She should take a 40% cut of the stars.

"The remaining will be equally split amongst the rest of us. Agreed?"

To be honest, the Sea God's Star Tear was a wonderful item. But three were more than enough for one person.

After all, there were diminishing returns in using Sea God's Star Tears. The effects from a second usage would be halved, while the third time would be halved again.

Shen Tian did not lack money, so he did not mind giving most of the loot to Yu Pianxian in exchange for raising his own providence.

Anyway, these Sea God's Star Tears were originally Yu Pianxian's fortuitous opportunity. He was just tagging along for the ride.

"How can we have that? If not for Brother Tian leading the way, I would not have discovered this island. How can I take 40% of the loot?"

Yu Pianxian hurriedly shook her head.

To be honest, the amount of riches one could get from hundreds of Star Tears was enough to make anyone go crazy.

If Shen Tian and the rest were just normal prodigies, Yu Pianxian would not be one to stand on ceremony. Who would say no to more money?

Yu Pianxian was the Mermaid Princess. She was not a fool with low EQ.

As tempting as riches were, stealing other people's fortuitous opportunities was akin to killing their parents. Stealing another's treasure was even worse.

Yu Pianxian was no weakling, but her battle prowess was at most on par with the four princes'. She was no match for Ao Wu at all.

Not to mention there were also Qi Shaoxuan and Shen Tian in this team. She would be a fool if she insisted on taking 40%.

On top of that, Yu Pianxian really couldn't be that thick-skinned when looking at Shen Tian's handsome face.

The Sea God's Star Tear was important, but Shen Tian's good impression was just as crucial.

Yeap, maybe even more important!

Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian thoughtfully. His eyes sparkled.

He had always regarded Shen Tian as his greatest rival, whether it was battle prowess or providence.

But this was the first time he personally witnessed just how powerful Shen Tian's providence was.

It had an earth-shattering effect on Qi Shaoxuan!

"I also don't think that's right!"

After some thought, Qi Shaoxuan spoke up again. "If we go according to our contributions, we should give Brother Shen half first and then allocate a portion to Princess Pianxian."

As much as he liked to claim credit, Qi Shaoxuan still had some dignity.

If it was truly Shen Tian's contribution, Qi Shaoxuan would be fair.

Shen Tian was taken aback by Qi Shaoxuan's words.

According to the original script, Yu Pianxian should be trying to match up with Qi Shaoxuan for the trials.

Meanwhile, Ao Wu and the four princes were just along for the ride.

The final allocation should have been 30% to Yu Pianxian, 30% to Qi Shaoxuan, and the remaining 40% percent shared amongst Ao Wu and the four princes.

This was their shared fortuitous opportunity!

But now that Shen Tian was leading the way, there was really no reason to give Qi Shaoxuan an extra portion. He could only get an equal share of the remainder like the rest of them.

As long as he could get part of the fortuitous opportunity, Qi Shaoxuan's providence would also increase. This was some compensation.

But Shen Tian didn't expect Qi Shaoxuan to speak up for him, to give him an extra share.

How could I accept this...

Although the Sea God's Star Tear was a good item, providence was more important.

After all, if he could raise all their providence, he could find even more fortuitous opportunities in the future.

"Why don't we apportion the Star Tears after we get them?"

Since no one seemed to appreciate the free fortuitous opportunity that he was handing out, Shen Tian had no choice but to make this suggestion.

Everyone exchanged glances. They felt that this was a pretty good idea. After all, one must make a contribution first before talking about taking a share of the rewards.

After deciding on this, everyone followed Yu Pianxian's directions toward the locations of those Star Tears.

Their search process was not as easy as they imagined.

Although the Star Tears were useless to those living creatures in Chaotic Star Island, they liked the aura they exuded.

They were not at all happy that some outsiders were going to steal the Star Tears away.

Every time someone found a Sea God's Star Tear, they would end up fighting those living creatures, and it was no easy battle.

Whether it was a local living creature or a transmogrified one, their battle prowess was equivalent to that of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.

The most powerful of them could even hold themselves quite well in a fight against Qi Shaoxuan.

If not for the group's good teamwork, while those creatures more or less only fought for themselves, there was a chance Shen Tian's group might not win them.

And over this entire process, Shen Tian was always standing by the side, twiddling his thumbs.

He would only step in when they encountered really challenging opponents.

It was not that he was lazy or unwilling. But if he stepped in, there would be nothing left for the rest to do.

By then, what reason could he give for sharing the goodies with the rest of his team? He couldn't possibly just give each just 1% or 2%, right?

You would get your just desserts if you were too greedy. It was easier to just sit back and relax and enhance everyone's providence at the same time.

After seeking out the treasures and Qi Shaoxuan's and the rest's intense battles, all the Sea God's Star Tears on the island were more or less collected.

They had already collected 502 Sea God's Star Tears. And a whole five days had already passed.

After some haggling, they finally decided on an allocation method for the Sea God's Star Tears.

Shen Tian had discovered this island and always stepped in to settle challenging battles. Thus, he was allocated 40%.

Yu Pianxian was the one who knew the exact locations of those Sea Stars and was given 20%.

Qi Shaoxuan put in the most effort for the battles and was awarded 20%.

Ao Wu was the Dragon Prince, and he received 10%.

The four princes were just along for the ride, and they shared the final 10% equally. Even so, they were all grinning from ear to ear.

After all, with 502 Sea Stars, even 2.5% would still give them about a dozen stars each.

If they converted that to Spirit Stones, it would be a staggering amount.

It was more than enough for them to cultivate all the way to the Mighty Prowess (Soul Formation) stage!

Even if they didn't get any more fortuitous opportunities for the rest of the trial, this loot alone was enough to make this experience worth it.

After the Sea God's Star Tears were allocated to everyone, Shen Tian felt light and airy all over.

The top of everyone's heads was dazzling. It was like a spotlight had been lit above them.

There was only one word to describe the feeling of benefiting from the fortuitous opportunities of seven lucky people—awesome!

Chapter 311: Such A Strike Should Not Exist In the Mortal World

502 Sea God's Star Tears was an unimaginable fortune.

If they were all to appear on the market, the entire North Sea would be shocked.

Of course, no one would do such a thing recklessly as the rarer a thing was, the more it was worth.

Thus, if one really sold the Sea God's Star Tears in large batches, the price would instead drop substantially.

It was better to keep and use the Sea God's Star Tears for cultivation, then give a few to friends and family, or hand them to the sect in exchange for contribution points.

"I've heard that the Divine Firmament Saint is blessed by providence or better the five regions' peerless Son of Providence. Now, I verified that such rumors are true. I am convinced."

The White Prince of the Silver Octopus race smiled brightly as he had obtained quite the number of Sea God's Star Tears.

He was clear that it was all due to Shen Tian.

If not for Shen Tian, he might not be able to obtain such benefits even if he explored the whole Chaotic Star Island for a year with his strength.

With 15 Sea God's Star Tears in hand, it would not be considered a loss if they directly left Chaotic Star Island now.

The Crab Prince waved his huge pincers as he smiled and said, "It's all due to the Divine Firmament Saint and Purple Mansion Saint that we could obtain the Star Tears. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to collect them so smoothly.

"Of course, Princess Pianxian also contributed greatly to finding the Star Tears. We are grateful for having benefited."

Shen Tian's face turned red as he sensed the four princes' gratitude.

Cough, cough... Can I say that I am also here to freeload your fortuitous opportunities?

Calling me the Son of Providence...

Hehe, I am embarrassed for such undeserving praise!

In the end, Shen Tian had obtained 200 of the 502 Sea God's Star Tears.

After the Star Tears were distributed, they also found quite an amount of exotic flowers and rare herbs on the island.

Although these exotic flowers and rare herbs were far less precious compared to the Sea God's Star Tears, they were also supreme-grade items that were rarely found outside.

It could be said that such items would tempt most Supremacies, and they might even fight over them.

The only regretful thing was that this island's core area was enshrouded in thick chaotic aura, so they could not find any cracks at all.

If not, they might find some exotic treasures as they had been able to find 500 Sea God's Star Tears in just the island's outer area. This star island was simply too special and miraculous.

"It might be the opportunity has yet to arrive, the core area is not fated with us."

Shen Tian did not mind as he had not seen any cultivators whose halos' showed fortuitous opportunity scenes related to this star island's core area.

Evidently, the core area would remain off-limits during this trial, so there was no use to wait there.

Soon, the chaotic aura barrier above them started to crack open, so Shen Tian decided to leave.

The eight of them flew into the sky and rushed toward that crack simultaneously, successfully squeezing out of it.

When they appeared outside, they saw a few ocean race prodigies that were ready to enter.

They had been waiting for quite a few days outside this star island for the crack to appear on the chaotic aura barrier, and they were just about to enter to plunder the items within.

However, once they saw Shen Tian and his party exit from the cracks, they were about to cry out loud. None of Shen Tian's group could be trifled with, after all. Since they had already exited from this island, nothing should be left within.

That was to say, they had wasted their days waiting!

"I greet the Seventh Dragon Prince, Divine Firmament Saint, Purple Mansion Saint, and Princess Piantian."

These ocean race prodigies cupped their hands as they respectfully bowed before Shen Tian and his party. They then dashed in different directions as if they were escaping.

It was not as if they were afraid Shen Tian and his party might kill them. It was because the first month was the easiest to obtain fortuitous opportunities in the star islands.

After the first month, most of the outer and safer islands would have been plundered by numerous cultivators already.

By then, one would have to take the risk and head in the deeper region to find more fortuitous opportunities, thus making it much more dangerous.

They had waited for three days in front of this star island. In other words, they had wasted three days, three days of the first month they could have spent to enter another island or two.

As such, they had to make the best use of their time and hurry to find another island!

Shen Tian could not help but exclaim as he looked at those demons, "Such polite demons."

Seriously, did they have to rush this much?

Isn't it just missing one island? What's the need to be so agitated for? More haste, less speed. One should not hurry when searching for fortuitous opportunities.

As you can see, I'm taking my time. I even want to return to the City of Bliss to rest for a few days.

Yeap, since I know about when each fortuitous opportunity might appear, I can be this willful!

Ao Wu threw a Sea God's Star Tear into his mouth and ate it as if he was chewing sugar beans; his whole body emitted blue light.

He looked at Shen Tian. "Brother Shen, where are we going next? Please lead the way!"

Qi Shaoxuan, who was at the side, was a little jealous. Ao Wu was his contract partner!

Can't I also try leading the way?

I could show you miracles too!

Shen Tian did not notice the deep resentment Qi Shaoxuan's eyes betrayed.

He slowly closed his eyes, recalling the scenes seen from a certain prodigy's halo.

However, in the eyes of Yu Pianxian, Ao Wu, Qi Shaoxuan, and the others, Shen Tian was currently unfathomable.

He seemed to have cast some kind of spell, sensing for something. There was a mysterious smile on his handsome face, and he looked like nothing could escape his eyes.

Indeed, it was no coincidence that Shen Tian could find the Sea God's Star Tears. This mysterious Saint did have an unknown way of searching for treasures.

However, none of them asked Shen Tian about it as everyone in the cultivation world had their own secrets.

Respecting others' secrets was the basic requirement to remain friends with someone.

Not to mention others, Qi Shaoxuan, Ao Wu, Yu Pianxian, and the four princes—top-notch prodigies of their respective race—had their own secrets.

Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes. He smiled and pointed toward Chaotic Star Island's inner region.

"How about we head deeper?"

Everyone took a deep look at Shen Tian. They were basically clear that if they encountered another huge fortuitous opportunity this time, there would definitely be a problem.

It was rumored that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had a Favored Ones group, which was previously called Celievers, and the person they worshiped was none other than Shen Tian.

According to the Celievers' initial teachings, those who believed in Master Heavens would encounter fortuitous opportunities, and it was said that the success rate was 100%.

Originally, everyone took such rumors lightly. However, they had second thoughts today as they had already profited greatly thanks to Shen Tian.

Everyone followed Shen Tian deeper into Chaotic Star Island, and they were all silent along the way.

Just like before, Shen Tian completely ignored those star islands that they encountered on the way as if he clearly knew his target.

When they occasionally encountered chaotic aura spheres on the way, they would stay far away. Thus, they had not encountered any dangers.

Due to the Chaos Array's oppression, everyone spent one day and night flying 10,000 miles. The chaotic aura also turned thicker by a few times, especially the aura barriers protecting the islands.

If the star islands outside were only a layer of fine gauze curtain, then the aura barrier that Shen Tian and the others saw was like a big blanket.

The chaotic aura surged as it surrounded those islands, sending shivers down one's spine—that was the oppression on the level of one's life essence!

Finally, Shen Tian stopped.

Everyone stopped in front of a humongous island.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, a huge tentacle appeared from the depths of the island.

That tentacle was thousands of feet long and was headed toward Yu Pianxian.

It possessed tremendous strength that could create tens of thousands of feet tall waves. Its might could even be compared to that of a Soul Formation cultivator.

Yu Pianxian instantly turned as pale as a sheet. After all, she was an early-stage Nascent Soul Mermaid and not proficient in fighting. Her true strength was only similar to that of the four princes and even worse than the Golden Body Ao Wu.

She was unable to resist such a ferocious beast that was on par with a Soul Formation cultivator.

"Evil creature, how presumptuous!"

The Heaven's Halberd in Qi Shaoxuan's hands shone brightly, and a purple aura surrounded him. He instantly attacked that tentacle with his halberd aura.

Just as he released his halberd aura, a second tentacle that carried a thick fishy scent

suddenly sprung out from diagonally behind, aiming his body.

This tentacle was red and green in color and had clear distinctive spots. It seemed exceptionally hideous and weird.

Qi Shaoxuan felt that if the tentacle actually caught him, he would feel disgusted for at least half a month in the case he survived.

Without any other choice, Qi Shaoxuan could only defend and retreat, slicing a huge cut on the second tentacle and knocking it back.

At the same time, a third, fourth, and fifth tentacle also appeared out of nowhere.

This ocean could block one's senses, so it was the perfect environment for powerful, ferocious beasts to conceal themselves perfectly. Thus, flying in such an ocean was not safe.

"F*ck, this damn octopus dares to capture me? I'll teach it my Turtle race's power! Consecutive Turtle Fists!"

"This octopus is indeed powerful. Is it your Silver Octopus race's ancestor? White, how about calling it grandfather? You might be able to beg it for mercy."

"Scram! If my race's seniors were to be corroded by the chaotic aura, they would turn into small cute ocean beasts, not into such a huge and ugly monster! The color and appearance of this tentacle are simply hideous."

"Take my Dragons Claw, awo, awo, awo!"

A tentacle per enemy—that octopus hiding within the ocean was extremely powerful.

Even with Qi Shaoxuan's battle prowess, he was unable to defeat it in a short period.

Yu Pianxian was already unable to last. Her defensive techniques were ineffective, and that disgusting tentacle moved closer and closer to Yu Pianxian. She was horror-stricken...

Am I going to die in such a disgusting monster's tentacle?

I'll never resign even if I die!

As that tentacle was about to completely bind Yu Pianxian, a ray of golden light descended.

In that instant, Yu Pianxian felt as if she had entered a warm embrace, and she felt at ease.

She lifted her head and stared blankly. What she saw was a side face that could not be more exquisite.

It's him! It's him! It's actually him!

Yu Pianxian's pretty face turned completely red. It was almost even worth dying to be able to be embraced by him.

"Princess Piantian, you originally owed me two Sea God's Star Tears. Since I saved you again this time, it should be worth another Sea God's Star Tear, right?"

Yu Pianxian, "..."

So you saved me because you want me to repay my debt?

Do all male humans lack a sense of romance?

Yu Pianxian was so angry she pouted and looked like she would spit out bubbles anytime.

Swoosh!

The monster was angered as Shen Tian snatched its prey, and huge waves were instantly formed on the ocean surface.

A humongous red-green octopus with blood-red eyes appeared in front of everyone.

Each tentacle was thousands of feet long and looked extremely frightening. They looked like they could blot out the sun and darken the sky or make huge waves surge with a simple action. It was the king of this ocean.

"This octopus is most likely at the Soul Formation stage. Brother Shen, let me help you!"

The purple eye between Qi Shaoxuan's brows shone with a divine glow. He was instantly covered by an immense amount of purple aura, resembling a deity that had descended on earth.

"Eight Wildernesses Halberd: Dragon Cloud Sky Shattering Attack!!!"

Qi Shaoxuan's hollered as he swung his Heaven's Halberd around, creating countless shadows and afterimages. As he moved, that boundless purple aura started to gather.

Soon, the boundless purple aura transformed into a long purple aura divine dragon. Every single dragon scale was shiny and life-like, exuding an intense dragon aura.

Although it was not particularly big, this dragon exuded an aura that was even more spine-chilling than before.

Qi Shaoxuan's suddenly merged with that purple dragon and pounced at that octopus.

Although the purple dragon was only one-third of the octopus' body size, they were evenly matched as they fought.

However, Qi Shaoxuan would not be able to defeat the octopus in a short period.

"We need to finish promptly, or other powerful ocean beasts might be attracted," Shen Tian murmured to himself. He made several hand seals with both hands, and a bright ray of light instantly condensed.

A water-jade-like longsword instantly appeared in Shen Tian's hands.

Shen Tian was clad in his white dragon-patterned brocade robe, and as he stood there with his sword, he looked graceful and mysterious.

He was aloof and refined as if he did not belong to the mortal world.

Clang!

Shen Tian pulled out his sword. His actions were as simple as they could get as he gently slashed with the sword forward.

However, this slash contained countless sword techniques, and each technique was so profound and obscure that one could not understand and remember at all.

That's right, although they had seen Shen Tian slash, they had absolutely no memory of the sword technique.

At that moment, Shen Tian completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

What replaced him was a sword light shrouded in divine aura.

Its ancient glow was like the light of the moon flowing down the long river of time, crossing over centuries and millennia.

It was also like a piece of destiny, cut off at a certain point in time.

Clang!

The Jade Water Sword was sheathed again.

The 1,000-feet purple dragon lifted its head slowly.

Ao Wu and the others also shook their heads to recover their consciousness.

Swoosh!

The eight humongous tentacles were sliced off cleanly and directly landed in the ocean; their smelly blood instantly dyed the whole ocean red.

That strike resulted in the direct death of the giant Soul Formation octopus!

The strength of that strike was enough to shock the five regions!

"That strike has appeared once again."

Qi Shaoxuan called back his purple aura avatar, and his eyes were shining brightly.

Frankly speaking, Shen Tian's slash had already become a peak that could not be overcome in his heart.

As long as he successfully stepped over this peak, he would be able to overcome the barrier within him, and his future achievements would be limitless.

As for the others, it was the first time they had seen the Sword Immortal's Flying Sword Intent, so they had the same thoughts.

The Divine Firmament Saint is indeed a Sword Immortal that has descended from the heavens, such a strike... should not exist in the mortal world!

Chapter 312: Chaotic Aura Enters the Body

The giant octopus' carcass floated on the surface of the ocean.

Shen Tian stood there with his sword. In the eyes of the crowd, he looked extremely dashing and regal.

Even Qi Shaoxuan, who was seeing this sword technique for the second time, still felt the same astonishment.

Not to mention the others who had never witnessed it before. They were completely awed.

This was the true indomitable sword technique.

"Emerald Cursed Sword" of the Black Snake race? Compared to this, it was like child's play.

The disparity was just too great!

"Divine Firmament Saint, can you give me the inner core of this octopus?"

The White Prince of the Silver Octopus race gazed at that giant octopus. His eyes sparkled.

This giant octopus possessed a powerful bloodline. Even though it had no self-awareness, its battle prowess alone was as high as a Heavenly Venerable's.

To the White Prince, if he could refine and absorb this inner core, it would greatly enhance his powers and even his bloodline.

The White Prince stared at Shen Tian with glittery eyes. He took out five Sea God's Star Tears. "I am willing to give you five Sea God's Star Tears in exchange for it."

The Sea God's Star Tear was valuable but consuming three was enough. Any more than that, and the effects would be negligible.

Thus, he would rather exchange them for the inner core of that octopus. Anyway, that inner core was not as beneficial to others as it would be for him.

"Since Brother White needs it, just take it. You don't need to give me any Tear Stars in exchange."

Shen Tian smiled. He sliced open the octopus carcass and carved out the massive inner core.

Mmm, I suddenly feel that the size of my own Golden Core is quite normal.

Shen Tian tossed the inner core to the White Prince. "Here's the core. Brother White, just keep your Star Tears for yourself."

Shen Tian glanced at the inner core in the White Prince's hands and smiled.

I have over 200 Star Tears. Who cares about your five tears?

Seriously, man...

Of course, if you insist, I won't stand on ceremony then.

The White Prince was in intelligence-gathering. People in this industry usually had very high EQs.

The White Prince might not be that good at fighting, but EQ-wise... Haha, Qi Shaoxuan, Ao Wu, and the rest could not compare!

The White Prince kept the inner core and shoved the five Star Tears in Shen Tian's hands. "The Saint fought so hard to kill this octopus. How can you let me take advantage of this just like that? That is just unacceptable."

With that, he took out another Star Tear and handed it to Qi Shaoxuan. "Brother Qi also fought hard to help kill that octopus just now. Please accept this small gift as a sign of my gratitude."

The White Prince only had 15 Sea God's Star Tears on him. Having offered six in one go, he now only had nine left.

But in return, he had gotten Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan's respect.

After all, for goodwill to last, one had to give and take.

If one just thought about how to take advantage of others all the time, others' goodwill toward you would quickly dissipate.

Yeap, it was Li Yunfeng who had told the White Prince this. And Li Yunfeng had heard this from Liu Taiyi.

The White Prince felt that Li Yunfeng's words were right. One must give a reward after benefiting from that person.

Otherwise, people will think that demons don't have any manners.

"Brother White, you are really too generous!"

Since the White Prince was being so sincere, Shen Tian didn't want to reject his gift.

His storage ring glimmered as he stored his sword and the five Sea God's Star Tears.

Ai, who said that demons and humans couldn't get along? Aren't we all getting along very well now?

Shen Tian felt that the prejudice that humans had against demons was like a huge mountain. One just had to move it aside.

After killing the giant octopus, the island was completely exposed to Shen Tian and the rest.

But it wasn't accurate to say "completely exposed". This was because the island was still enveloped in a thick layer of chaotic aura. They were unable to enter.

Only a small bevy of cays surrounding the island was not covered by the chaotic aura.

"I think we still need to wait for a period before we can enter this island. Let's wait!"

Shen Tian's wings sparkled as he landed on a cay.

Qi Shaoxuan and the rest followed close behind.

After being on the road for such a long time, everyone had expended quite a bit of energy. They needed a chance to recuperate.

But suddenly, the chaotic aura around the island emitted a humming noise. It was opening right at that moment.

"Brother Shen is indeed the Son of Providence. We just arrived in front of the island, and it is opening."

The White Prince had just sat down on the huge inner core with his eight tentacles stuck firmly to the surface. He was just about to refine and absorb it!

After all, the thicker the chaotic aura around an island, the longer one had to wait for the aura barrier to open.

It was very common for one to wait 10 to 14 days without seeing any changes to the aura barrier.

The White Prince was prepared to spend several days absorbing that inner core's energy to strengthen his powers first. He never expected that just as he had settled down and was prepared to do so, the chaotic aura barrier would start to split open.

This was awkward...

"Wait for me. Everyone, wait for me!"

The White Prince struggled to stuff the inner core back into his body as he huffed and puffed to squeeze himself into the opening of the aura barrier.

He was not the only one.

The Shark Prince, Crab Prince, Turtle Prince, and Ao Wu were all also trying to squeeze in.

The suppression exuded by this chaotic aura barrier was far greater than the earlier island where they had found all those Sea God's Star Tears. Everyone found it hard to move.

Luckily, Qi Shaoxuan and Shen Tian were ahead clearing the way for them, helping to reduce the pressure. Otherwise, they might not be able to enter the island even though it was now open.

Rumble!

Everyone was already about halfway through the aura barrier when Yu Pianxian's face changed. "Something's not right. Danger!"

Upon hearing Yu Pianxian's warning, the faces of all the North Sea prodigies turned pale.

There were two types of aura barriers in Chaotic Star Island. The first type was those that opened normally. This type of barrier enveloped the entire island, with a massive opening that would remain open for seven to ten breaths.

Usually, this amount of time was more than enough for a person to enter the island.

Even if one was unable to enter due to the massive pressure, there would still be adequate time to retreat in one piece. There was no danger in this case.

But for the second "wave" type of barrier, things were not that simple. This kind of aura barrier remained open in short waves lasting only two to three breaths.

It would start to close up again after one was only about halfway through.

By then, you would be trapped in the center and in extreme danger. You would be engulfed by the chaotic aura in the blink of an eye!

Even a top prodigy would find it difficult to react fast enough when faced with such danger.

Behind them, the outer part of the aura barrier was already starting to close up.

This meant that there was no way back out now.

"Everyone, charge forward, don't look back!"

Shen Tian's face darkened. His golden wings erupted in a dazzling burst of light. He had enhanced his speed to the maximum and had morphed into a beam of golden light.

At the same time, jade-green vines shot out of Shen Tian toward his companions, binding them.

"Go in now!"

Shen Tian's hair turned golden, and he burned with a golden divine flame all over. His speed had been raised to maximum levels.

Swoosh!

Swoosh, swoosh!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Jade-green vines shot out, binding his companions and tossing them straight into the island.

Yu Pianxian, tossed inside.

Ao Wu, tossed inside.

The Crab Prince, Shark Prince, Wu Wudi, all tossed in.

As for the powerful Qi Shaoxuan, he managed to successfully penetrate the aura barrier with his own abilities. But he was drenched in cold sweat by the effort.

The worst was the White Prince. He had just stuffed the huge inner core into his body.

Now the aura barrier was closing up, and the swirling chaotic aura was right behind his buttocks.

"Help! I am not ready to die yet!"

The White Prince's eight tentacles waved wildly, like eight legs sprinting.

Shen Tian sighed in resignation. He morphed into a shadow and appeared in front of the White Prince before tossing him in.

The all-encompassing chaotic aura had already surged right up to Shen Tian, bringing with it the intense feeling of death.

It's been really tough to earn those five Sea God's Star Tears of his. He needs to compensate me more later!

Shen Tian grumbled on the inside, but his wings never stopped flapping.

You want my life? A pity this chaotic array is still not good enough!

Full speed ahead!

His golden wings morphed into countless wing afterimages as Shen Tian sped through half the opening. The chaotic aura behind him also sped up.

"Faster! Faster!"

"Don't stop, don't stop!"

"Give it your all!"

The Mermaid Princess gazed at Shen Tian with teary eyes.

If Shen Tian hadn't thrown her with his Divine Devouring Vine, she would never have been able to escape.

The others shared the same thought.

Apart from Qi Shaoxuan, who was already at the Nascent Soul stage, the others' cultivation levels were only at the Golden Core or Golden Body stages.

Entering this kind of island hidden within Chaotic Star Island's deep regions was just too much for them. A normal opening was fine, but it was certain death for them to encounter this type of "wave" opening.

Shen Tian had saved all their lives!

"Brother Shen, please don't let anything bad happen to you!"

The White Prince's eight tentacles were all clenched tightly. He had given Shen Tian those Sea God's Star Tears to curry favor with him.

But now, his goodwill and respect toward Shen Tian were completely genuine.

Those five Sea God's Star Tears might be valuable, but could anything be more valuable than one's own life?

Shen Tian not only saved the White Prince's life, but he had also done so under such dangerous circumstances and with significant risk to his own life.

It should be pointed out that the White Prince was closer to the chaotic aura than the rest of the group. Shen Tian's risk in saving him was far greater than when he saved the rest.

What will I do if anything happens to Brother Shen because he tried to save me? He must make it back!

At this moment, the White Prince finally knew why the carefree Li Yunfeng would become so passionate whenever he talked about Shen Tian.

This human Saint was a natural-born leader, one who had the ability to make others trust and respect him!

Not only was he handsome, but he also made his teammates feel very safe!

He must make it through!

Everyone was executing all sorts of techniques, trying their best to stop the aura barrier from closing up.

But all their moves instantly dispersed and were absorbed the moment they made contact with the chaotic aura.

Meanwhile, the chaotic aura barrier wasn't hindered at all by their attacks. Instead, the barrier appeared to be enraged and started moving even faster.

Rumble!

Just as Shen Tian was about to burst out of the aura barrier, it completely closed up.

Shen Tian was entirely covered up by the chaotic aura. All everyone could see now was the endlessly roiling aura. It was an extremely depressing and melancholic sight.

"No!"

The White Prince fell heavily to his knees. His elegant, scholarly face was now full of extreme anguish. He felt very guilty.

"How could this happen? All because he tried to save me. If I had not lagged behind, Brother Shen would not have died!"

Ao Wu and the rest also looked very grim. They were demons, but they were also self-aware intelligent beings. Their understanding of the concept of repaying a good deed was even better than many humans.

The Divine Firmament Saint had sacrificed his own life to save them.

What kind of mindset was that? It was a selfless and altruistic mindset. The kind that would make all demons start crying.

In ancient times, there were kings who carved up their own flesh to feed the eagles. Now, there was Brother Shen, who had sacrificed his life to save some demons. Touching, just too touching!

This was a true human partner. The bridge between demons and humans!

"From now on, I am willing to take care of Brother Shen's family on his behalf.

"I will treat Brother Shen's parents as my own. Brother Shen's siblings as my own. Brother Shen's wife... as my own.

"Witness my solemn vow now, in honor of Brother Shen's sacrifice for demons. If I ever violate my promise, may the heavens kill me."

The White Prince raised four of his tentacles in the air as he swore.

To a cultivator, a vow was something very serious. This was especially so for cultivators of the Golden Core stage and above. They always kept their vows.

Of course, this excluded sneaky, devious vows.

If you swore to "treat your cultivation partner well or your cultivation path will go smoothly", the heavens would completely ignore you.

The heavens might even strike you for making such a vow.

Anyway, the White Prince's vow was indeed genuine and from the heart.

However, Yu Pianxian couldn't help glaring at him. Shouldn't she be the one who made such a vow?

"From now on, I am willing to take care of Brother Shen's family on his behalf.

"I will treat Brother Shen's parents as my own. Brother Shen's siblings as my own. Brother Shen's wife... as my sister.

"Witness my solemn vow now, in honor of Brother Shen's sacrifice for demons. If I ever violate my promise, may the heavens kill me."

After finishing her vow, the Mermaid Princess' face was flushed red.

Wu Wudi, Ao Wu, the Crab Prince, and the Shark Prince all raised their hands and made the same vow.

"Me too."

"Me too."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Yeap, they didn't repeat the vow word for word again.

The main reason was that there was already enough water around Chaotic Star Island.

Just as Shen Tian suddenly gained a few pious subjects, something strange was happening within the aura barrier.

A dazzling beam of sword light shot through the chaotic aura!

The chaotic aura, which was immune even to a Sage-level attack, split open.

Yes, it was split open by that beam of sword light!

It was a splendid sword light, looking as if it was cutting through ancient time and space. It even managed to split apart the chaotic aura.

It was an extremely familiar sword light. Not long ago, everyone had witnessed Shen Tian executing this sword technique.

Could it be?

Hope rose in the hearts of everyone.

"Sky-Smashing Palm!"

A holler echoed through the skies like an earth-shattering thunder.

White, green, black, red, yellow. A five-colored light shot through the opening.

Following that, a massive multi-colored palm reached out and pried open the aura barrier.

One could see the aura barrier churning crazily, trying its best to corrode that palm.

But the corrosion of that multi-colored palm was much slower than the usual corroding effect the aura had on other techniques.

A golden figure flew out of the opening.

Yes, it was Shen Tian!

His face was somewhat pale and his wings a little dim. He must have expended a lot of energy to escape.

Nonetheless, he still managed to charge out of that powerfully restraining chaotic aura. If news of this were to get out, it would shock the entire five regions.

After all, since ancient times, Chaotic Star Island was famous for being a forbidden area. And the chaotic aura was widely known as the "Aura of Death". It could dispel all types of elemental energies. Even a Sage-level attack would be instantly swallowed up.

Nevertheless, Shen Tian's sword light and giant palm technique managed to split open the chaotic aura.

Although they were also soon corroded by the chaotic aura, his techniques lasted much longer than what a Sage could conjure.

What did this mean?

Had Shen Tian's powers surpassed that of a Sage who had undergone tribulation?

What a terrifying thought!

"Brother Shen, you are alright!?"

Everyone rushed forward with concerned expressions.

But Shen Tian gestured for everyone to back off while he sat cross-legged on the beach. "Don't come over!"

Following that, wisps of white and grey smoke swirled around his body. It exuded an extremely forbidding aura.

Chaotic aura!

The chaotic aura had tainted Shen Tian!

The initially relieved crowd became extremely anxious again.

It must be known that if the chaotic aura seeped into one's body, it would be even more dangerous than fending against it while it was still outside.

Its ability to disintegrate and engulf everything could not be stopped, no matter what technique was used.

If the aura was still on the outside, one could still hide from it.

But once it entered the body, it would taint the body, the Golden Core, the Nascent Soul, and the soul.

The person would be completely crippled, and their soul might even disintegrate.

"Don't worry, this bit of chaotic aura will not harm me!"

Shen Tian's face was pale, but it held no fear. This was because he discovered that the chaotic aura inside his body did not harm him at all.

After swallowing the power of the five extraordinary items in his body, the chaotic aura settled down into a harmonious balance with the items.

Of course, its appetite was terrifying.

It was just a small wisp of chaotic aura but managed to swallow about 30% of the power of the five extraordinary items in his body.

But Shen Tian discovered that after engulfing that 30% of power, the aura stopped acting up. It burrowed into Shen Tian's dantian and curled up into a tiny ball of air. There it stayed, unmoving.

It was like it had just eaten a big meal and was taking a nap. It would not cause any trouble or bother anyone.

Even when Shen Tian tried to provoke it, it did not react at all.

So I ended up inviting a big boss into myself?

Shen Tian had never felt so aggrieved.

A ball of chaotic aura now dominated his big, healthy seven-foot body.

What the hell is this? Who can I talk to about this?

Huff!

Shen Tian spat out a gust of tainted air before slowly standing up.

Seeing the curious gazes of the group, Shen Tian forced a smile. "I managed to control it after expending some effort."

There was a myriad of expressions on everyone's faces. They knew very well just how scary the chaotic aura was. It held the ability to disintegrate everything.

If Shen Tian really managed to control that ball of chaotic aura inside him, he must have paid an unimaginable price for it.

An unlucky person might suffer some adverse backlash some days later. He might even be in mortal danger.

"Brother Shen, don't worry. I will ask my father to do all he can to help you!" Ao Wu clenched his little fists. "Black Dragon Island has countless treasures. Whatever Brother Shen needs, just tell me. I will get it for you!"

Yu Pianxian also nodded. "The Mermaid race does not have as many treasures as the Black Dragon race. But Brother Shen saved my life. Just tell me if you have any requests."

The others all expressed similar sentiments. Shen Tian just had to ask, and they would try their best to help him overcome the chaotic aura.

Even Qi Shaoxuan also reluctantly tilted his head to the side as he offered to give him half of the Nirvana Immortal Imperial Sutra.

Yeap, everyone was being just too warm and enthusiastic.

So much so that Shen Tian felt rather awkward getting a reward for saving them.

All this talk about feelings and relationships was indeed hurting his bottom line.

"Everyone, don't worry. My body is tainted by the chaotic aura, but my soul isn't." Shen Tian smiled. "In the worst-case scenario, I can just ditch this body and change to another."

Upon hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Yes, the Divine Firmament Saint was only at the Golden Core stage, but his battle prowess was astounding.

Shen Tian's strange Golden Core was so big—Qi Shaoxuan was sure that Shen Tian was just as capable as he was.

If Shen Tian was willing, he should be able to crack his core to form the Nascent Soul any time he wanted.

And the moment Shen Tian did that, all he had to do was to find a suitable physical body to be reborn in.

But it was a pity that a body as perfect as Brother Shen's would be extremely rare!

For a moment there, everyone appeared rather dull and listless. Even their desire to find treasures was not as intense as before.

However, Shen Tian did not mind at all. He was even looking forward to trying it.

Under Shen Tian's lead, everyone started to explore this island.

It was worth mentioning that this island was enclosed by a thick chaotic aura for thousands of years. No one had ever stepped foot inside.

The island had many priceless spirit herbs growing all over. Every single one of those herbs was enough to tempt a Heavenly Venerable on the outside.

Some of those herbs could even add hundreds of years to one's lifespan. Even a Sage who had undergone tribulation would be tempted.

But considering the fact that Shen Tian's life was now hanging by a thread, they gave half of all the herbs they gathered to Shen Tian.

No matter how Shen Tian tried to reject them, everything was shoved into his arms.

Qi Shaoxuan felt both envy and respect as he watched this scene. Shen Tian was truly a good representative of mankind.

Brother Shen, you are indeed my one and only worthy opponent!

Chapter 313: Kun Peng Temple, Ancient Legacy

The team explored this island in an orderly manner. Now and then, they would encounter some difficult beast, which Qi Shaoxuan would deal with.

Actually, Shen Tian also wanted to help, but everyone stopped him. They believed that Shen Tian had to conserve his energy to control the chaotic aura inside him.

The rest of them could settle all the fights.

And it was true. When the team cooperated and gave their all, no beast on that island was a match for them, especially when Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu worked together to execute their special attack. Their combined battle prowess became enhanced.

Even if that giant octopus came back to life, it would probably not be able to withstand their attacks.

Of course, it was still impossible for them to kill that beast in one move.

Explore, split the loot.

Explore, split the loot.

Explore, split the loot.

Everyone had a very relaxing and happy experience, and they all attained a significant fortune. A fortune that could match up to multiple years of cultivation in the outside world.

The Chaotic Star Island domain was indeed the most bountiful mystic realm in the North Sea.

After the team explored the periphery of the island, they started to move toward the inner regions.

A thick layer of chaotic aura also engulfed the core region. Luckily, there was an opening in the center.

After exploring over 100 miles into the inner region, the team "inadvertently" came across a temple.

The temple was magnificent. It was hundreds of feet in height, piercing through the clouds.

It was like it had merged into the heavens. One couldn't help feeling awed by the sight.

This splendid temple was like a massive beast, exuding a wild and barbaric aura.

And at the front of the temple was a huge gate.

A gold plaque hung above the door. Four mighty demonic words were carved onto it.

Shen Tian just glanced at the four demonic words and felt like his soul was being sucked right in. He nearly sank right into it.

Even Shen Tian had nearly fallen into a trance. The rest were no exception.

All except for Qi Shaoxuan, who was already at the Nascent Soul stage, and his soul power was greatly enhanced after refining the Sea God's Star Tear. He was the only one who managed to fend off the effects of those four words.

The others, like Ao Wu, Yu Pianxian, and the four princes, were all completely entranced by the words. They stood there in a daze as if their soul had been sucked in!

"Wake up!"

Brows slightly furrowed, Shen Tian activated the Pure Reincarnation Earth's power in his divine consciousness before shouting out.

Everyone instantly snapped out of their trance. Their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

"What bizarre-looking words. They possess such a profound power."

"If not for Brother Shen calling us back to consciousness, we might find it very difficult to wake up."

"It was rumored that in ancient times some people ended up being in a trance for over 100 years before finally waking up enlightened."

"If we saw these four words in the outside world and managed to gain enlightenment after snapping out of our trance, it would be a good thing. But inside Chaotic Star Island, the curse would take effect if we got stuck in a trance."

"I have yet to repay Brother Shen for saving my life previously, and now, he has saved me again."

"Saving my life twice. How can I ever repay Brothen Shen!"

Shen Tian felt a little exasperated. "Let's focus here, guys. Does anyone recognize these words?"

The White Prince studied the words carefully. After deliberating for some time, he looked like he did know what those words meant. His face was filled with excitement. "If I am not wrong, those four words should be: Kun Peng Temple."

Kun Peng Temple?

What a domineering name. Could this be the legendary abode of the deities?

The White Prince saw the dubious looks on everyone's faces. He explained. "I saw this in some ancient records.

"In ancient times, it was said that the Southern Border's Great Golden Peng race and the North Sea's Great Void Kun race both originated from the same bloodline. They are both descendants of the Kun Peng.

"If the Kun race bloodline reached a certain level, they could grow feathers to become Peng. They would then possess two different true bodies and transcend to a totally new level.

"Similarly, if the Great Golden Peng race bloodline reached a certain level, they could also attain the powers of the Great Void Kun race."

Ao Wu was curious. "Could this Kun Peng Temple hold the legacy of the Kun Peng race?"

The White Prince replied, "No one knows for sure. But according to ancient records, every time a Kun Peng divine beast appears in North Sea, it will herald a major catastrophe for the five regions.

"It was said the last time a Kun Peng appeared in the five regions, it was during the forbidden period 10,000 years ago.

"That time, the Kun race had a Kun prodigy with unprecedented talent and powers. His bloodline reached the top levels, and he turned into a Kun Peng, dominating all.

"During his peak, he even executed the Great Sky-Swallowing Technique from the Northern Underworld, annihilating a Perfected Immortal.

"His powers were as great at the Immortal Phoenix Queen during that era!"

Yeap, at that time, Ao Bing had already fallen.

The eyes of the team glittered as they listened to the White Prince describe just how powerful the Kun Peng was.

Annihilating a Perfected Immortal at the Sage stage. What kind of power was that?

A prodigy could fight beyond their own level during a battle. But that was only for the lower levels.

Many people across the five regions managed to fight beyond their own level when they were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But a Nascent Soul level cultivator beating a Soul Formation practitioner? A Soul Formation practitioner beating a Sage? The number of prodigies who managed to do that could be counted on one hand.

As for a Sage cultivator killing a Perfected Immortal—this was even rarer.

After all, anyone who managed to reach the level of a Perfected Immortal was definitely not your usual prodigy!

It would be near-impossible for someone to transcend a level to beat them.

But that Kun Peng from ancient times had managed to do that. He had defeated a Perfected Immortal while he was still at the Sage stage.

With that kind of power, no wonder he was legendary across the five regions!

Qi Shaoxuan tightened his grip around his halberd. "This means that that Kun Peng might have left behind this temple?"

Shen Tian shook his head. "This temple is so magnificent. As powerful as that Kun Peng might be, it would be very difficult for him to create such a splendid abode.

"Moreover, cultivators above the age of 500 are unable to enter the Chaotic Star Island domain due to the Chaos Array.

"But I believe that the Sage Kun Peng did come to this temple when he was young."

The White Prince nodded. "According to ancient records, that Sage Kun Peng did enter the Chaotic Star Island domain before. His powers increased dramatically after visiting the domain, and he started to reign over all his peers. He became indomitable.

"A pity that this Sage ended up being ambushed and killed by those Evil Spirits from the outside world. He did not leave behind his legacy."

Shen Tian slowly walked to the front of the Kun Peng Temple. "There's nothing to feel pity about. Since this temple is still here, perhaps there's still some fortuitous opportunity left. We will know after we enter to take a look."

With that, Shen Tian pushed the gates to the Kun Peng Temple. He felt a huge force pushing back against his hands.

The massive gate was glowing, and divine scriptures appeared all over it. It exuded a formidable power.

Shen Tian felt like the door had become as heavy as a towering mountain. It was unmovable.

It was clear that this was some sort of test.

Those whose powers were not great enough were not worthy to enter this gate.

"This bit of power is not enough to stop me."

Shen Tian's eyes glowed. He exuded a mighty aura all over his body.

Standing firm, his right hand suddenly magnified by 10 times and radiated with pristine golden light.

Behind Shen Tian, one could see the vague image of a golden eagle.

Eagle Seizing Dragon!

Ahhh!

It was as if Shen Tian had morphed into a divine eagle from ancient times. He charged against the gate.

The massive gate was finally gradually pushed open with a rumble.

The expansive, empty temple was revealed before everyone's eyes.

Yes, expansive and empty.

There was nothing at all inside the temple. Not even a single chair.

It was clear that someone had already raided this place before them and taken away all the treasures.

For a moment, everyone felt rather deflated. Shen Tian was the only one who stepped in resolutely as if he had already expected this.

He slowly closed his eyes and seemed to be recalling or sensing something.

Shen Tian opened his eyes again and continued to make his way forward.

This temple was so big it was like a world of its own. It was at least a thousand miles in floor space.

Nonetheless, Shen Tian soon found his target in that endless infrastructure.

It was a huge manor with a flourishing garden in the center.

Yes, these were the spirit herbs growing within the Kun Peng Temple.

Although others had already raided the Kun Peng Temple, the spirit herb garden had not completely died off.

The herbs in the garden had grown again after 10,000 years. A large batch of superior-grade herbs was once again thriving.

It could be said that any one of those herbs growing in that garden was enough to make a Heavenly Venerable on the outside go green with envy.

"A bountiful harvest! A bountiful harvest!"

"This is a Black Red Cherry. It is even more potent than a Sage-level elixir!"

"This is a Dark Blood Orchid. It can be refined into a pill that will enhance one's bloodline. It is priceless!"

"Could this be the legendary Sea Heart Grass? It can greatly improve one's ability to control water. It is a divine grass favored by the great ocean itself."

It was clear that this was a team who knew their stuff. These herbs were very attractive to them.

In contrast, Shen Tian looked like he was not interested at all in those herbs. He knew that they were not the biggest fortuitous opportunity to be found here.

The team carefully distributed the herbs, brilliant smiles on their faces. Of course, Shen Tian got the biggest share.

After all, everyone believed that Shen Tian was the Son of Providence. He had the ability to foresee fortuitous opportunities.

Otherwise, how could they get such great goodies every single time?

If they allocated the rewards according to contribution, it was only right for Shen Tian to get the lion's share.

After keeping the herbs, Shen Tian led the team deeper into the Kun Peng Temple.

It must be said that the Kun Peng Temple was indeed very mysterious. Even after being raided once in ancient times, it still contained many secret rooms that were sealed off.

Formidable ancient techniques sealed off those secret rooms. No normal cultivator would be able to break through.

Only an immortal could try to break those seals.

However, Shen Tian's target was not those secret rooms. He bypassed those rooms and arrived at the innermost region of the Kun Peng Temple.

It was a huge mountain, suspended in mid-air. Tens of thousands of feet in height, it looked very majestic.

It was worth mentioning that it looked like someone had hacked this mountain in half. There was a gap measuring several hundred feet right down the middle.

But compared to the mountain's towering height, this gap of several hundred feet was nothing.

The mountain looked whole and complete from afar.

It was also worth mentioning that there were two drawings, one on each half of the mountain.

The drawing on the left side was of a massive azure green wave, crashing and rolling in a majestic manner. And a large, imposing figure was swimming in that giant wave.

The figure looked like a fish, but it was even bigger than the mountain. It was at least several thousand miles long.

Yes, several thousand miles!

The mountain was clearly less than several thousand miles in size, but when the team looked at the painting, they could just tell that this massive fish was that big.

Kun!

The team knew that this was a formidable Kun.

Its cultivation was definitely at an unimaginable level, far surpassing that of the Sage level.

This was because everyone here had seen their fair share of Sage-level cultivators. None of them were as tremendous as this.

Any living creature that was able to grow to a size of several thousand miles—its power was definitely beyond imagination. Otherwise, it would collapse unto itself.

The Kun in the wall drawing had truly existed. Its power was enough to astound all five regions!

And the drawing on the right side was of a boundless sky, within which soared a huge Peng.

It looked even more magnificent than the Kun on the left. Its wings covered the sky as the sun reflected against its body, which dazzled with golden light.

Below it, the earth, sea, and states were all submerged in its shadow.

A fierce draft was created when it spread its massive wings, which tunneled for thousands of miles. The Peng soared high up into the empty sky!

For a moment, everyone was dumbstruck.

They were clearly still-drawings, but the team felt like they were seeing it in real-time.

On the left, the team could nearly smell the scent of the ocean.

On the right, the team could almost hear the high shrills of the Divine Peng!

A mystic humming could be vaguely heard echoing through the air.

Imperceptible sound waves drifted out of the wall drawings.

The sound waves drifted slowly toward Shen Tian and his team, transforming into a special energy within their bodies.

This energy circulated inside their bodies as if imparting them with some supreme Dao.

This supreme Dao was too profound. The team had no idea how to decipher it.

"Let's quickly ingest a Sea God's Star Tear now!"

Shen Tian took out a Sea God's Star Tear as he reminded everyone.

Deciphering a new Dao required vast amounts of soul energy. Fortunately, everyone in this team had a good store of Sea God's Star Tears.

There were diminishing returns on a Sea God's Star Tear's ability to enhance one's soul energy. Although the effects from anything beyond five Sea God's Star Tear would be negligible, there were no limits on its effectiveness in replenishing soul energy.

Everyone immediately ingested a Sea God's Star Tear, and a faint blue glow spread throughout their bodies.

The divine humming was sounding clearer and clearer by the minute. It was like the universe was now spinning in reverse. It was as if they were trapped in the space between the great ocean and the vast skies.

Below them was the giant Kun, swimming in the churning ocean.

Above them was the massive divine Peng, its wings blocking out the sky and the sun.

The giant Kun and divine Peng were imparting their Dao via the mystical soundwaves, directly imprinting the knowledge into their brains.

This was the Kun Peng Dao!

Time passed by the minute and second. It was clear that everyone had gained a lot.

A huge Kun avatar appeared behind Yu Pianxian. She had a rather good understanding of the Kun Dao.

Meanwhile, Qi Shaoxuan's purple aura had formed into the shape of a soaring Peng. It was like he had learned a brand new supreme technique.

The most surprising was the Shark Prince. With his machete on his back, he was the group's sternest and most unsmiling person.

But now, it was like he had gained a certain great epiphany. His demeanor underwent a huge change.

Behind him was an avatar of a huge black-red shark, frolicking in the ocean waves. Following that... the shark gills spread out to become bird wings.

Yes, this fellow actually managed to decipher the "Wing Transformation" part of the mystical soundwaves. His avatar started to morph into a "Shark Eagle".

It looked extremely bizarre, but it would be a great benefit to him if he truly understood it.

As for Shen Tian himself, he gained the most.

He slowly closed his eyes, and Rainbow Divine Light surrounded him.

The five extraordinary items inside his body were also humming with power, helping Shen Tian enhance his power source.

Red and white flowers bloomed around Shen Tian, symbolizing Yin and Yang, perfectly complementing the Kun Peng drawings.

The white Hurricane Lily represented Yin and illusion, which matched with the Kun Dao. The red Hurricane Lily represented Yang and reality, which matched with the Peng Dao.

The Hurricane Lilies kept turning back and forth between red and white. The Kun and Peng Daos were also rapidly transforming.

The avatars of two massive divine beasts appeared behind Shen Tian.

One was the black giant Kun, while the other was the golden divine Peng. The two were merged into one formidable power source.

Rumble!

The towering cliff vibrated gently. The formerly tranquil soundwaves started to surge wildly into Shen Tian.

Shen Tian's soul was already immersed in the process of deciphering the Dao, so he was completely unaware of the changes around him.

His Golden Core—originally about an apple's size— rose up and rapidly increased in size.

A cultivator's Golden Core would morph according to their understanding of Dao. Generally, the more one understood, the more cracks there would be, and the more powerful their Golden Core would become.

For example, Fang Chang had managed to gain a certain level of understanding of the Lightning Dao and successfully reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.

Qi Shaoxuan had also managed to gain a certain level of understanding of the Purple Mansion Dao, Nirvana Dao, and Divine Dragon Dao. As a result, he had successfully reached the Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage.

On top of his Mixed Divine Lightning Dao, Shen Tian had now gained an understanding of the Yin Yang Kun Peng Dao. Consequently, his Golden Core actually grew bigger.

In just a few hours' time, the Golden Core above Shen Tian's head was now as big as a pomelo.

The aura exuded by that Golden Core was extremely oppressing.

The problem was that there was not a single divine emblem on it!

"The Northern Underworld has fish—known as the Kun. They are all several thousands of miles in size.

"When transformed into birds, they are known as Peng. Those Pengs are also several thousands of miles in size.

"Flying in rage, its wings are like clouds hanging down from the skies. Causing ripples in the water, which spread across 3,000 miles, now soaring over 90,000 miles into the sky aided by the wind."

Shen Tian subconsciously recited.

His golden wings suddenly spread open, looking extremely resplendent.

Suddenly, divine light showered Shen Tian.

At that moment, it was like he had morphed into an ancient Kun Peng.

Regal, powerful, majestic, indomitable!

Boom!

Shen Tian moved.

The void between heaven and earth suddenly started to crumble!

Chapter 314: Becoming Stronger Through Self-Realization

Shen Tian extended his golden wings out into the shattered space.

Hurricane gales sped across the skies as cracks appeared all over.

With Shen Tian as the center, everything within a hundred feet of him turned into a desolate space.

Luckily, Shen Tian had specially stood far from his teammates. Otherwise, they might have suffered grievous injuries from those terrifying cracks in space. After all, space turbulence was a significant threat to a cultivator at the Golden Core stage.

The moment those cracks appeared, Shen Tian looked like he was sucked into the void. He disappeared before everyone's eyes.

When he reappeared a second later, he was tens of thousands of feet away. It happened so fast that no one could see clearly.

Fast!

Fast to the extreme!

Shen Tian's current speed was at supersonic levels.

Yu Pianxian and the rest looked at Shen Tian with shock.

"Brother Shen's understanding of the Kun Peng Dao has reached such astonishing levels. Even a pure-blooded Golden Eagle from Southern Border would not be as fast as Brother Shen now!"

"More than that. Brother Shen's speed has transcended. Even a Soul Formation cultivator may not be able to catch up to him."

"It was rumored that Kun Pengs had the most terrifying speed in the world in ancient times. They are as fast as the legendary divine beast, the Golden Crow! I can see now that those rumors are no exaggeration."

"The wonders of the Kun Peng Dao is one thing, to be able to understand it is another. Our talents are totally incomparable to Brother Shen's!"

Upon hearing the praises that the four princes were heaping on Shen Tian and feeling the adoration that the little dragon pup had for Shen Tian, Qi Shaoxuan suddenly felt that his own newly-learned Peng Dao was nothing.

Why am I only able to understand the Peng Dao? Why can't I understand the Kun Dao?

Am I really not as gifted as Brother Shen?

No! I don't believe it!

Qi Shaoxuan clenched his fists. He didn't want to watch Shen Tian's dashing and splendid display anymore. He continued to sit in front of the two mountain walls, trying to understand the sound waves coming from them. He hoped to ascend another level.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian opened his Feather Immortal Metal wings. He could feel his understanding of the Kun Peng dao becoming deeper and deeper. After the Yin-Yang Hurricane Lilies merged with the Kun Peng Dao, he gained a better understanding of the two different cultivation techniques.

At this point, he even felt like he had already transformed into an ancient Kun Peng. He felt like his wings had already merged into one with his body. He now had flawless control over them.

"Golden Wings' Nine Slash, The Second Slash—Slash Through Empty Air!"

His golden wings suddenly enlarged, looking like two golden blades.

The fabrics of space around those blades instantly ripped.

Shen Tian flapped his wings vigorously, shooting toward the eastern sky.

In the blink of an eye, great turbulence swept through the air, sweeping all the space fragments along with it. The cloud layer in the sky was completely dispersed.

The azure-blue sky was suddenly totally clear for over 10,000 miles!

It was obvious that the Southern Border's Eagle race was closely linked to the Kun Peng.

The Kun Peng Dao actually included the legendary Golden Wings' Nine Slash technique.

Of course, Shen Tian's Golden Wings' Nine Slash was much more powerful than a certain foolish eagle's.

He would probably immediately go into seclusion if he saw how powerful Shen Tian's Golden Wings' Nine Slash was.

Huff!

Shen Tian breathed out a puff of tainted air as he stood there in mid-air.

To be honest, this Kun Peng Dao was a rather big surprise to him. It had far surpassed his expectations.

Shen Tian had the Feather Immortal Metal wings, but before understanding the Kun Peng Dao, he had been unable to reach such speeds.

The God of War Pagoda had a lot of high-level secret techniques, but none of them were suitable for Shen Tian's great wings.

Now that he had learned this Kun Peng cultivation technique, it enabled him to unleash the Feather Immortal Metal's full potential. Shen Tian had once again ascended another level.

A man needs to be fast!

Of course, the Kun Peng Dao was extremely deep and profound. It was not that easy to understand everything.

The Kun Peng Dao delved deep into the understanding of space. The Peng part of the cultivation technique would enhance one's control of space so as to increase the speed.

The famous poem "When the Peng soars into the sky, thousands of miles will be passed by" referred to the extreme speed of the Peng.

Extreme speed, extreme attack, extreme masculinity—this was the Peng!

Meanwhile, the Kun part of the cultivation technique excelled at controlling space to bind and engulf the enemy. The most representative skill was the Great Void Kun race's stalwart move, the Great Sky-Swallowing Technique from the Northern Underworld.

One could control the power of the void to form a great sky-swallowing whirlpool with this skill.

No matter how crazily one attacked, it would all be disintegrated and swallowed by that great technique. It might even turn you into fertilizer.

This technique that could swallow an enemy's attack and energy to replenish oneself—this was the main reason why the Great Void Kun race had managed to dominate across the five regions.

And Shen Tian already had the Divine Devouring Vine and Pure Reincarnation Earth. These also held the powers to refine and swallow all sorts of energies. Now with this Kun Dao, his powers had transcended yet another level.

Although Shen Tian hadn't really tried yet, he believed that if he really went against a prodigy of the Great Void Kun race...

He could probably hold himself pretty well!

"This is indeed a legacy left behind by the Kun Peng race. It is extraordinary."

After waking up from his immersed state, Shen Tian kept his wings and gradually descended to the ground. His eyes were sparkling.

He had gained a lot after understanding the Kun Peng Dao. His battle style had also become more comprehensive.

Yeap, he was now truly confident of going toe-to-toe with a Soul Formation stage cultivator.

Even if he couldn't defeat one, he would be able to retreat in one piece.

Of course, things would still be really tricky if he met a Sage.

Yeap, he still had to be careful.

Caution was the parent of safety. Slow and steady wins the race.

Suddenly, Qi Shaoxuan cried out in anguish as he sat beside the wall.

"No! No! This cultivation technique is just too difficult! I can't understand it, I just can't!"

The purple aura behind Qi Shaoxuan kept trying to form the image of a giant Kun. But it would dissipate every time after only forming half of the image.

He had already understood the Peng Dao and gained quite a bit from that. But he remained unsuccessful in understanding the Kun Dao.

The Kun Peng Dao comprised both Yin and Yang. To gain complete control over the transformation between Yin and Yang was more difficult than he imagined.

In reality, Qi Shaoxuan was a human. He was neither Kun nor Peng. He wasn't even a demon.

It was already a rare achievement for him to understand the Peng Dao and merge it with his Purple Mansion Imperial Sutra.

It was a pity that Qi Shaoxuan's goal was to be like Shen Tian, someone who possessed the Hurricane Lily, an extraordinary item that encompassed both Yin and Yang.

In addition, Shen Tian had already completely mastered the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra previously. His understanding of Yin and Yang was very deep.

As a result, the difficulty of understanding the Kun Peng Dao, which was also of a Yin-Yang nature, had been reduced by nearly 90% for Shen Tian.

Thus, one couldn't blame Qi Shaoxuan for not understanding it completely. It was just that his goal was too high.

"Brother Qi, please don't force yourself too much. You formed the Nascent Soul not long ago, and you might deviate into the wrong path if you get too agitated."

"Brother Qi, please calm down. One must be destined to understand this wall drawing. Perhaps you are not fated to understand the full Kun Peng Dao!"

Watching the purple aura surge and ebb behind Qi Shaoxuan, his teammates, feared that he would go mad and stray down the wrong path. They started to console and persuade him.

As Qi Shaoxuan's human partner, Ao Wu was the most concerned.

"Brother Shaoxuan, please don't force yourself. Not everyone can be like Brother Shen. You have already done very well."

Qi Shaoxuan, "???"

Feeling a spell of dizziness, Qi Shaoxuan collapsed limply to his knees. He lifted his head to gaze at the sky.

For a second there, he felt like he was seeing snowflakes drifting down the sky.

Heaven, why did you create someone like Shen Tian when you already have me!?

Shen Tian looked very worried at the sight of Qi Shaoxuan kneeling on the ground in despair. He had no idea why Qi Shaoxuan was so distressed by the mere fact that he couldn't fully understand a cultivation technique.

Nonetheless, Qi Shaoxuan was a very important companion to Shen Tian. He did not wish to see anything happen to him.

Well!

Don't roll your eyes at him. Qi Shaoxuan was indeed very important to Shen Tian.

If Qi Shaoxuan went mad or deviated down the dark path, how would Shen Tian train with him in the future?

It must be pointed out that leveraging off the fortuitous opportunities of a single Qi Shaoxuan was way better than that of ten other cultivators with lousy red halos.

Shen Tian walked over to Qi Shaoxuan's side and gazed at him with concern. "What's the matter?"

Qi Shaoxuan's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Shen Tian. "How did you manage to understand it all? Why can't I understand it too? It's so unfair!"

Shen Tian smiled.

Come on, it was just a cultivation technique! I thought some major catastrophe had happened!

Shen Tian placed his hand on Qi Shaoxuan's shoulder and smiled warmly. His smile was like the sun on a winter day.

He asked in all sincerity, "Do you wish to learn the Kun Peng Dao? I can teach you!"

Qi Shaoxuan, "!?"

"Teach me? You... You are willing to teach me?"

Qi Shaoxuan stared at Shen Tian in a daze. He knew very well just how valuable this Kun Peng Dao was.

This was a Dao that was comparable to the True Dragon Imperial Sutra. Even amongst all the imperial sutras, this cultivation technique would be considered a supreme-grade gem.

Getting this Dao would greatly enhance the powers of both North Sea's Kun race and Southern Border's Eagle race.

As long as someone from the two races could understand this cultivation technique, they would reign over everyone for that generation.

Shen Tian was able to gain a complete understanding of those two cultivation techniques just by looking at those two wall drawings. Kudos to him for that.

He is willing to impart it to me without any pre-condition. And he doesn't look like he is joking. This... How is this possible?

Is he not worried that my powers will increase dramatically after learning this Dao? That I will surpass him then?

Or has he never even viewed me as his opponent?

As Brother Shen said, he had never regarded enemies he had defeated as his opponents.

The rims of Qi Shaoxuan's eyes turned red. He knew the answer, but he just had to ask, "Are you not worried that I will surpass you after learning the Kun Peng Dao?"

Surpass me?

Shen Tian was slightly taken aback. He then smiled. "The more powerful you are, the happier I will be. After all, the world is so wide. There are so many more fortuitous opportunities out there for us to explore together. It would be so dull if Brother Qi was not with me for the journey. This is just a cultivation technique. How can it be more important than Brother Qi?"

What an inspiring outlook!

Is this the true path of invincibility?

Qi Shaoxuan's troubled aura started to calm down.

He opened his eyes wide, which now sparkled with a fighting spirit of unprecedented intensity.

He finally understood.

It's lonely at the top. Brother Shen had been without foe all his young life. He looked forward to an opponent who was powerful enough.

Brother Shen is even willing to personally groom an opponent to be powerful enough to fight him. To seek out some form of challenge.

He does not fear any opponent. He only fears having no opponent.

Is this the true path of invincibility? The true indomitable master of the younger generation?

Qi Shaoxuan slowly stood up and met Shen Tian's eyes. "Thank you, Shen Tian, for your advice. I understand now!"

At that, Qi Shaoxuan's aura surged.

His baby-like Nascent Soul suddenly grew up. It had absorbed a large amount of energy from the Sea God's Star Tear, and with this new epiphany, its growth was rapid. It was now a toddler who was learning how to walk. Enshrouded by a purple aura, it looked rather cute.

At that moment, Qi Shaoxuan's power suddenly increased significantly. Even Shen Tian felt a bit jealous looking at him.

Damn scoundrel, what epiphany have you gained now? Tell me so that we can share!

Shen Tian smiled eagerly. "Brother Qi, do you still wish to learn the Kun Peng Dao?"

If you want to learn, tell me what epiphany you just gained!

You and I both have something valuable. We will have twice the fun and excitement if we share!

I also want to gain an epiphany and instantly double my powers!

Hurry up, tell me!

Qi Shaoxuan fell into deep thought as he looked at Shen Tian's enigmatic smile.

He said resolutely, "I don't want to learn! Brother Shen is right. No technique is invincible in this world. Only a person can be invincible!

"Since I am unable to fully comprehend the Kun Peng Dao from these wall drawings, it means I am not fated to do so.

"But so what? As Brother Shen said, it is just a cultivation technique left behind by some predecessors.

"If our predecessors create a Dao, so can I!"

Qi Shaoxuan's aura shifted again. His True Dragon purple aura seemed to be merging with his purple-colored Peng.

Shen Tian was dumbstruck.

Who? Where? What? When did I say such things?

When will I be able to become stronger from self-realization too? This is just so illogical!

I want to lodge a complaint. Someone is cheating!

Qi Shaoxuan had gained a great epiphany.

And those demon prodigies at the side were all totally jealous.

Humans were truly beings of another level. Their ability to understand was too great.

We understood every single word exchanged between Brother Qi and Brother Shen. But why is Brother Qi the only one who managed to gain an epiphany?

Could it be we demons are so stupid that we are not even worthy of Brother Shen's guidance?

The four princes and Yu Pianxian's emotions: 888.

On the other hand, Ao Wu was excited. He was close with both Qi Shaoxuan and Shen Tian. It didn't matter to him whether it was Shen Tian or Qi Shaoxuan who became stronger. He could rely on either of them in the future.

Yes, he was an exemplary prodigy, ranked top five in the dragon race over the past 10,000 years. But all he could think about was finding a backer, to be a pet dragon leveraging off others.

"Everyone, look! The wall drawings seem to have faded by quite a bit."

Yu Pianxian's words attracted everyone's attention. They all turned toward the wall drawings.

Indeed, the originally clear drawings seemed to have lost their luster. They looked blurrier now.

The giant Kun, which had been swimming on the water's surface, was now completely submerged. The soaring Peng was also now half-covered by the clouds.

The drawings look much more obscure.

It was clear that the team's epiphanies gained from the wall drawings had expended its store of energy. It would need some time to recuperate.

They would find it more difficult now to try and gain more epiphanies.

As such, it was time to leave!

Chapter 315: Did You Think I Had No Pride?

Everyone searched around the Kun Peng Temple for a while.

Unfortunately, they did not find anything else. The previous trial-takers that had entered the Kun Peng Temple had already taken everything that could be taken away.

The whole Kun Peng Temple was empty with no Dharma treasures nor weapons left.

Thus, everyone left the Kun Peng Temple and returned to the island.

Currently, besides the core area of the island, which was covered by chaotic aura, Shen Tian and the others had basically searched everywhere else.

The remaining bits and pieces of fortuitous opportunities were of little value to everyone.

Therefore, they listened to Shen Tian's suggestion and returned near the island's periphery, waiting for a crack to open on the chaotic aura barrier.

Of course, the waiting time was random.

If they were lucky, they might encounter it in one or two days. If they were unlucky, being trapped for two or three months was perfectly normal.

That was one of the main reasons why most prodigies would stop searching around the islands and return to Chaotic Star Island's outer region after nine months.

After all, one's desire was endless.

If one was still in Chaotic Star Island's inner region and encountered an opening on an island's thick chaotic aura barrier, should they enter or not?

What if one was trapped inside the island after they entered as the island did not open even after two or three months?

Since ancient times, the number of prodigies that died in Chaotic Star Island with the try-your-luck mentality was innumerable.

There were quite a few extremely talented individuals, so it was a pity.

Fortunately, the time spent waiting was not dull.

They had benefited greatly from the two fortuitous opportunities previously, so they needed enough time to internalize them.

While waiting for the chaotic aura barrier, everyone took out their Sea God's Star Tears to absorb and continued cultivating the Kun Peng Dao.

They communicated and sparred with each other, which in turn greatly benefited their strength improvement.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian also needed enough time to completely comprehend the Kun Peng Dao and the numerous killing arts it contained.

This was an ingenious and obscure heritage that required one to spend a large amount of time to learn and refine.

Frankly speaking, if it was not that the Kun Peng Dao's power was quite okay, Shen Tian would not have even wanted to learn it. He simply had too many heritages on him, such as the True Dragon Imperial Sutra, Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra, Sky-Smashing Palm, Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers, and so on.

If Shen Tian spent a huge effort to learn each one, it would be too tiring for him.

Sigh... Why do I have so many heritages? It's really troublesome!

Cultivating was fruitful and interesting, so half a month quickly passed.

Everyone's strength had improved greatly in this half month, especially Yu Pianxian and the four princes.

Although the arts of their races were top-notch, they were simply not even on the same level as the Kun Peng Dao.

The comprehension of a part of the Kun Peng Dao was definitely a huge fortuitous opportunity for them as it would be a great inspiration to their whole future cultivation path. Coupled with the Sea God's Star Tear's help, their individual strength had increased by quite a few times in half a month.

Of course, Qi Shaoxuan had improved greatly.

It's just that he was busy verifying the Kun Peng Dao's and True Dragon Imperial Sutra's attack techniques that he did not really put focus on improving his cultivation level.

Thus, Qi Shaoxuan's foundation had become much more stable than before, while his battle strength had increased by more than two times.

However, the increase in his battle prowess was much higher than the others' few times of increase.

As for Ao Wu, he was still lazing around...

Rumble!

The chaotic aura barrier cracked once again.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they used their fastest techniques to fly out of the aura barrier.

For the sake of safety, the Shark Prince and the others even used the newly comprehended Kun Peng Dao to fly out. They were worried that they would encounter the same awkward situation as they had when they entered. By then, Shen Tian would have to save them again.

However, they left the chaotic aura barrier smoothly this time. They were not caught in a predicament like when they entered it.

The aura barrier's crack lasted for a little more than ten seconds, so they flew out with ease.

At that moment, everyone was relieved.

"Phew! We're finally safe!"

The four princes exchanged looks and seemed to have made a decision.

The Silver Octopus race's White Prince cupped his fists toward Shen Tian and said respectfully, "It's all thanks to Brother Shen that we could get out safely and obtain such fortuitous opportunities this time.

"However, Brother Shen and Brother Qi possess extraordinary strength, so the both of you must be inclined to enter deeper within the islands to maximize the benefits.

"The four of us lack in strength, so we will most likely hinder the both of you if we continue traveling together.

"Therefore, after pondering carefully, it's better for us to split and venture separately!

"After Brother Shen and Brother Qi finish exploring the island, we can gather, and the four of us will treat the both of you in the City of Bliss."

As the White Prince was speaking, the other three princes had sincere and honest expressions.

It was obvious that they were serious.

Shen Tian had nearly been devoured by the chaotic aura barrier to save them half a month ago.

That made them extremely embarrassed—they were neither kith nor kin of Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan, after all.

Even with Black Dragon Island as the bridge between them, the four of them already owed Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan greatly after freeloading so many fortuitous opportunities. They would be annoying if they still clung to Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan.

Also, they had other considerations too.

They wanted to return before the trial ended to take a look at the secret books of their races and see if there was any effective way to help Shen Tian oppress the chaotic aura within him. Then, they would be able to barely repay their debt of gratitude and would not feel so ashamed of themselves.

After the four princes finished, Yu Pianxian looked at Shen Tian. Her gaze was filled with the reluctance to bid farewell.

"Brother Shen, my cultivation is still lacking, so I'll take my leave too. After Brother Shen finishes the trial, you can use the conch to call for me anytime. By then, I'll be willing to sing and dance to a song for Brother Shen exclusively."

While speaking, Yu Pianxian's face turned bright red from shyness.

Well, her face looked just like a braised fish.

Shen Tian felt resigned upon seeing that everyone was determined to leave. He tried dissuading them, but they seemed to have made up their minds and insisted on leaving.

Nonetheless, it was exactly as they said, Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan were heading deeper within the Chaotic Star Island domain.

If they encountered another sudden situation like the "chaotic aura barrier fluctuation", it would be difficult for Shen Tian to take care of everyone no matter how strong he was.

Anyway, the four princes and Yu Pianxian had already reaped great benefits, and their providence had also increased by quite a bit. Thus, it was not a bad choice to return to Chaotic Star Island's outer region.

At that thought, Shen Tian took a deep look at the four princes' foreheads.

He then smiled and said, "Alright then, since everyone insists, I won't force you to stay. If you trust me, try exploring in the east direction after reaching Chaotic Star Island's outer region. You might encounter a few star islands that are of better quality and have some unexpected gains."

Shen Tian had seen in the princes' halos that their fortuitous opportunities were on an island in the east. Although the quality could not be compared to the Kun Peng Dao and even the 502 Sea God's Star Tears, it was better than nothing.

Their providence could increase slightly too, so it was something good.

"Toward east? I understand. Thank you for the advice, Brother Shen!"

The White Prince was instantly elated upon receiving Shen Tian's hint and relating it to the gossip and rumors regarding Shen Tian he had heard from Li Yunfeng.

"We will head toward the east direction in search of treasures later. If we do find something, we will definitely remember Brother Shen's favor.

"Brother Yunfeng has already informed me about the Favored Ones group's rules. We'll give you half of our gains. I know it."

As he spoke, the White Prince playfully winked.

Shen Tian smiled brightly.

The four of them should be able to find their fortuitous opportunities with my advice. My providence will most likely increase again.

Shen Tian was very pleased with himself.

However, after hearing the White Prince mention, "the Favored Ones group's rules. We'll give you half of our gains", Shen Tian's face gradually darkened.

Liu Taiyi and Li Yunfeng, these two bastards! Just what did they anyhow say? How did this piece of information even reach North Sea?

What does it mean by the Favored Ones group's rule of giving half their gains?

That was the Celievers! It has already been whitewashed and transformed for the better!

It's like you're implying I'm greedy for your money by telling you where the fortuitous opportunity is.

Isn't this slander!?

It's simply too saddening.

I originally did not intend to take the money, but I won't refuse such compensation since you've said such hurtful words.

Hmph!

This is the compensation for my damaged reputation!

After having fun by joking around, drinking, and eating, everyone separated.

The four princes and Yu Pianxian, who were weaker, left for Chaotic Star Island's outer region while Qi Shaoxuan, Shen Tian, and Ao Wu headed deeper within.

Well, originally, Ao Wu also had to withdraw from the team, only leaving Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan.

However, Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan could ride Ao Wu!

Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan had both cultivated the True Dragon Imperial Sutra so they could cooperate with Ao Wu to unleash joint attacks, increasing their battle prowess greatly.

Shen Tian was fine as his strongest card up his sleeve was not the True Dragon Imperial Sutra.

However, Qi Shaoxuan's battle prowess could increase exponentially when he and Ao Wu joined hands. Despite that, Ao Wu's cultivation level was still low.

If Ao Wu also successfully broke through to the Nirvana stage and reached Qi Shaoxuan's cultivation level, their battle strength would increase by several times—they would be overwhelming!

Thus, it was temporarily better for Qi Shaoxuan alone to join hands with Ao Wu.

After splitting with the other five, Shen Tian, Qi Shaoxuan, and Ao Wu had greater mobility.

They did encounter attacks by powerful ocean beasts on the way; some were mutated beasts from the Chaos Array itself, while the others were prodigies the Chaos Array had cursed. Both shared the same trait—they were extremely powerful.

Chaotic Star Island's living creatures were no weaker than the Nascent Soul stage. They were all basically at the Nascent Soul stage's peak, and their battle prowess was exceptionally strong. One of them could be compared to several peak Supremacies joining hands.

These ferocious beasts would occasionally even work together to attack the trio, pressuring the three of them heavily.

Even if Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu joined hands and unleashed the Dragon Knight secret techniques, they had narrowly escaped danger quite a few times. They were fortunate to have Shen Tian looking over them.

Thus, Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu were even more convinced of Shen Tian's battle strength.

Shen Tian was too exceptionally powerful as he could kill a mutated beast that was a step away from the Soul Formation stage with just one strike.

Although Qi Shaoxuan had witnessed Shen Tian's Flying Sword Intent more than once, he would still be stunned, obsessed, and astonished whenever he used that strike.

This also made Qi Shaoxuan even more persistent toward Shen Tian as the latter was his example for cultivating. He believed that as long as he kept on chasing Shen Tian and tried his best to reduce the distance between them, he would be able to become the strongest one day.

What Shen Tian did not know was that in a few days after they had left Kun Peng Island, another group of trial-takers also arrived at Kun Peng Island.

The newcomers were Kun Ming, Er Tongtian, and Bi Xuanqing. They were all from forces that were on bad terms with Black Dragon Island, and the Great Void Kun race was the antagonizing group's leader.

Kun Ming was at the Nirvana stage's peak, so he was the leader and the most powerful powerhouse in this trial.

"This island looks quite good. Its chaotic aura is extremely thick, so it's obvious that there are huge fortuitous opportunities within. Let's choose this island," suggested Er Tongtian as he looked at the island in satisfaction.

One had to know that there were countless star islands within the Chaos Array, but they were partially illusions in the array.

Normally, the thicker the chaotic aura was, the larger the fortuitous opportunities within would be.

It would be difficult for most prodigies to find an island with such thick chaotic aura.

In Er Tongtian's point of view, this island contained the thickest chaotic aura he had seen.

Thus, as long as they successfully entered it, the benefits would definitely not disappoint them.

"Looks like it is indeed quite thick, then let's wait here!"

Kun Ming came to the same conclusion as Er Tongtian, and he felt that there were definitely huge fortuitous opportunities within.

He carried dual blades behind him and emitted a domineering aura as if he could conquer mountains and rivers. His eyes were filled with intense battle intent.

"It's a pity that we did not run into those two humans along the way."

Kun Ming was a rare prodigy that only appeared less than once every few thousand years. Thus, he had always been unstoppable.

Yu Pianxian was the woman Kun Ming fancied, his exclusive partner.

All along, Kun Ming had never given up on pursuing Yu Pianxian even though she did not like him.

That was because no other prodigies in North Sea dared to chase Yu Pianxian. As such, he would definitely succeed if he continued pursuing.

However, those two humans had dared to get involved with Yu Pianxian; it was simply disrupting the market. That was especially so for that Divine Firmament Saint, who was extremely handsome.

If he wandered around Yu Piantian every day, how would it be possible that she would have eyes for Kun Ming?

As the saying went, "Seizing another person's love is as serious as murdering one's parents."

Kun Ming guaranteed that if he encountered those two humans, he would definitely beat them so badly even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.

Then, he would ride them as his mount and appear in front of Yu Piantian haughtily to let her know that he was the strongest prodigy in North Sea!

Kun Ming sat down cross-legged outside Kun Peng Island while letting his imagination run wild.

Kun Ming was silently waiting for the chaotic aura barrier to open. He believed that this chaotic aura barrier would not let him wait for too long with his luck.

That was what he believed.

Then... three months passed.

One had to know that most star islands' aura barriers would open within a month.

Few islands would have long intervals of one and a half months, or at most two months.

Meanwhile, the chaotic aura barrier of this Kun Peng Island had stayed closed for three months.

It was unknown if it was related to Shen Tian's strike and two slaps. Anyway, Kun Ming, Er Tongtian, and Bi Xuanqing were already kicking their heels from waiting. Only God knew how they pulled through the past three months!

From the start of the second month, the trio had already thought of more than once to stop waiting and directly change to another island.

However, they were not resigned!

One had to know that Chaotic Star Island only opened for a total of 12 months, and they would need to leave around the ninth month.

Leave after wasting one month? Who would be willing to!

Hence, they just kept on waiting.

They had already waited for a month, so the island might open in a few hours.

Then, they waited for another month.

Such a mentality was extremely similar to those caught by stock funds, so they were stuck there.

You want to leave?

No way!

On the third month's eighth day, Kun Ming finally could not take it anymore.

He roared toward the sky, and a humongous Kun avatar instantly appeared behind him.

The sand was sent flying, and pebbles started rolling on the beach while the seawater surged and sprayed all over the sky, forming a strange dark-colored rainbow under the sunlight of chaotic colors.

"Why is it still not open? Why!?"

Kun Ming resisted the urge to pull out his dual swords and slash the chaotic aura barrier.

Bi Xuanqing stared straight at the island and said reluctantly, "Brother, so we aren't waiting anymore?"

Kun Ming scoffed. "It's very obvious that this island's chaotic aura barrier won't open at all. Otherwise, it would have opened long ago.

"We actually waited for three months in front of this aura barrier, it's simply laughable!

"Let's go and search other places when we still have half a year!"

After finishing, Kun Ming instantly flew toward another direction.

Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing looked at each other, speechless. They had no other choice but to follow Kun Ming as he was their leader.

Just as they flew away a few hundred miles, a loud rumble suddenly resounded.

That's right, Kun Peng Island's chaotic aura barrier cracked.

In an instant, Spirit Qi surged out of the island, covering a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

"A crack has appeared!"

"Such thick Spirit Qi! It's a supreme-grade island!"

Er Tongtian was straightforward.

Upon sensing the chaotic aura barrier's surging Spirit Qi, his eyes turned green. "This island definitely has great treasures!"

Bi Xuanqing was even more direct. He immediately ran toward the aura barrier's crack like his life depended on it, leaving behind a streak of azure light.

Kun Ming was completely astounded.

What is this situation? I waited for three months, and you don't open.

Now that I'm about to leave, you... open your aura barrier for me to enter?

Do you think I have no pride?

You're right!

As compared to a true fortuitous opportunity, his pride was not important!

Not important at all!

Once the chaotic aura barrier in front of him opened, Kun Ming could obviously sense the blood within him trembling.

It was as if there was something on the island resonating with his blood.

Although such a resonance was weak, Kun Ming believed that he definitely did sense it.

He could feel that his blood was telling him something strongly.

I want it!

I want it!!

I want it!!!

Such a desire was extremely sudden and strong—it surged into him like a tsunami!

It was obvious that this island was fated with him, and it was a huge fortuitous opportunity.

He was determined to obtain this fortuitous opportunity!

Chapter 316: Kun Kun Becomes Salted Fish

Emotions churning on the inside, Kun Ming charged at full speed toward the opening in the aura barrier.

But... they were just too far away from Kun Peng island.

Hundreds of miles in the Chaotic Star Island domain was no small distance.

They were elite prodigies but still found it difficult to cross this distance in 10 breaths.

After all, the space density in Chaotic Star Island was extremely high, and it was a major suppression toward all outsiders.

Even when those three had dialed up their speeds to maximum levels, they could only watch as the opening closed up again.

Duang!

Kun Ming, Er Tongtian, and Bi Xuanqing were dumbstruck as they stared at the newly-closed up opening and that unyielding aura barrier.

In this world, the most painful thing was waiting for a public bus for three hours, and it never showed up.

But just as you got impatient and left the bus stop, the bus appeared.

At that moment, Kun Ming felt that the entire Chaotic Star Island was prejudiced against him.

"Brother Kun, the aura barrier has closed up."

Er Tongtian stared at Kun Ming begrudgingly.

You just said we should either hunker down and wait or leave earlier. What bad timing!

Leaving the aura barrier just before it opened and unable to make it back in time. But also detecting that this is such a great island.

That's so vexing!

Leave!

But they were reluctant to miss out on such a great island.

After all, the quality of that Spirit Qi they felt just now was just too good. It must be a supreme-grade island.

If they really missed it, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Wait!

Er Tongtian and the team were also distressed by that idea.

After all this wait, asking them to wait for another three months? That was asking too much!

The other islands surrounded by thick chaotic aura usually wouldn't open more than once every two months. This island was truly a little merciless.

Bi Xuanqing looked at Kun Ming. "Brother Kun, he who hesitates is lost. Let's be more decisive. Leave or stay. You decide!"

Kun Ming took a deep breath. He would not be in such a dilemma if it was just a normal fortuitous opportunity.

After all, as the most powerful prodigy of the Great Void Kun race, Kun Ming had his pride. No island was worth him waiting for.

However, he really couldn't ignore that intense instinctive desire embedded deep within his blood.

"Stay, we will stay! I am going to wait for as long as it takes. I don't believe it won't open again!"

Kun Ming's hair was flying wildly as he erupted with a powerful aura, startling all the nearby beasts.

He was clearly very powerful. Although he was only at the peak Nirvana stage, he already possessed a Soul Formation cultivator's battle prowess.

He would be considered a truly powerful practitioner across all five regions. Not just when compared to the rest of the younger generation!

He glared at the island. "I don't believe that this lousy island will be closed for another three months!"

Well, Kun Ming finally believed it after three months.

The eyes of the three North Sea elite prodigies were bloodshot by the time this island reopened. One could even see signs of tears in their eyes.

Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing's eyes were especially red.

To be honest, if not for the fact that they could not defeat Kun Ming, they would have already given that fellow a good thrashing.

What a jinx!

He mentioned three months, and we really waited three months?

Why don't you talk about the three of us becoming deities then? Maybe that wish will also come true!

Of course, the two of them wouldn't be able to defeat Kun Ming even if they joined forces. Their physical inadequacies restrained them.

There were no signs of displeasure on their faces. Neither did they dare to voice out any complaints.

"I can feel it. There are definitely treasures on this island!"

Kun Ming's face was full of anticipation. Before the barrier had opened, he had been worried about being wrong regarding the agitation in his blood.

But now that the barrier was opening again, Kun Ming was very sure that his instincts were right.

This island had something extremely important to him!

"Brothers, charge!"

Kun Ming hollered as he morphed into a black light, shooting straight into the aura barrier opening.

Of course, he was in his transformed body and not his original giant Kun body.

Kun Ming's original body was just too big. It might not be able to squeeze through that tiny opening.

Even after the aura barrier opened, it was no simple feat to pass through it. Nevertheless, it was not difficult for those three elite prodigies.

The trio successfully passed through the opening within eight breaths.

Huff!

After that exciting bit of action, the three of them landed on the beach with a sigh of relief.

"What thick Spirit Qi. It's several times more intense than my race's forbidden grounds!" Bi Xuanqing looked very pleased. "There must be countless precious and rare herbs in this place. Brother Kun, Brothe Er, we are going to be rich!"

Er Tongtian added happily, "I agree with Brother Bi!"

Kun Ming was also very happy, but as the most senior of the three, he felt that he must appear more serious before these two foolish juniors of his.

"Ahem, calm down. Calm down!

"You are all already several hundreds of years old. What are you getting so excited about?"

Kun Ming continued mildly. "I have waited for this island for six whole months. And this Chaotic Star Island domain has been open for only seven months.

"Going by the fact that this island only opens once every three months, I am sure no other person has explored it yet.

"The spirit herbs on this island are all ours. We have all the time in the world to collect them."

With that, Kun Ming also smiled. This island was very big, nearly three to four times the size of a normal island.

On top of that, it possessed extremely thick Spirit Qi. According to Kun Ming's previous two experiences in the Chaotic Star Island domain, there were definitely major fortuitous opportunities here.

Their gains from this island alone would be enough to justify their trip into the Chaotic Star Island domain!

"Brothers, you two explore the east side. I will go west. Run toward my side if you encounter any danger."

Kun Ming drew his dual blades from his back and radiated with an extremely domineering aura.

He was not trying to take advantage of the situation by making Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing go east while he himself went west.

It was because the beasts on islands with such thick Spirit Qi were usually more powerful. Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing might not be able to handle them if they were alone.

And if the three of them moved together, it would be tricky to distribute whatever spirit herbs they found.

As a result, he would rather them split into two groups. They would be more efficient this way.

After confirming the exploration route, the two teams split up and went on their way.

As he progressed, Kun Ming felt very strange. This was because he could detect waves of an extremely powerful aura radiating from some hidden corner of the island.

In general, with so many powerful beasts on this island, there should also be a lot of precious spirit herbs.

But no matter how he foraged, he could not find a single herb.

Even those beasts, which also held some value, had all scattered off to hide in the shadows.

My goodness, do I look so scary? Come out!

If I can kill a few beasts, at least I won't go back completely empty-handed!

I might look very tall and burly, but I am actually very weak. I will fall with one strike.

Come out and attack me!

Kun Ming forged on moodily. He was nearly on the brink of a mental breakdown.

What fortuitous opportunity? What spirit herbs? What treasures? They are all non-existent!

Could I have chosen the wrong direction? The west side has no treasures at all. Could they all be in the east?

This notion had just risen in Kun Ming's mind when he suddenly heard two familiar voices. "Brother Kun, Brother Kun!"

Startled, Kun Ming raised his head. It was Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing calling him.

Damn, how did those two fellows end up in front of me?

Don't tell me they were in front of me all this time and took away all my fortuitous opportunities?

Impossible, I saw them head east with my own eyes.

Could it be that this island's space-time continuum is messed up? You could be teleported any time?

Bi Xuanqing saw the confusion on Kun Ming's face. He more or less knew what he was thinking about.

He said in exasperation, "The island is round. Now that we have met, it means we have completely explored its periphery."

What, so fast?

Kun Ming was shocked. He suddenly realized that several days had already passed.

Yes, and he remained empty-handed.

"Brothers, did you find anything on the east side?"

Bi Xuanqing shook his head in resignation. "Brother Kun, we have swept over the entire east side and only found this thing."

He took out a blue root.

Bi Xuanqing said woefully, "If I am not wrong, this should be the root of a Sea God Black Grass. This would tempt even a Sage. But by the time we found it, its main body had already been harvested. All that's left is this bit of root."

Just a bit of root. It was clearly not worth anything.

Kun Ming seemed to have thought of something. His eyes turned bloodshot. "What do you mean?"

Bi Xuanqing nodded in resignation. "Someone has already been to this island. It is now a barren place."

The corners of Kun Ming's lips twitched. He felt a spell of dizziness.

The rare, once-every-300-years opening of the Chaotic Star Island domain and he wasted half his time on a barren island?

Who the hell spotted this island before me!

I will skin them alive when I find out!

After using his Kun breathing technique, he gradually calmed himself down.

Kun Ming ground his teeth. "The Chaotic Star Island domain has only been open for seven months. How could there have been people here before us?"

Bi Xuanqing said slowly, "It is possible if they entered during the 'wave' opening and explored for half a month before leaving during the first official opening."

Kun Ming shook his head madly. "No, I refuse to believe it! Let's explore deeper. There must be some other fortuitous opportunities on this island!"

With that, Kun Ming charged into the deeper regions of the island. He could feel his blood churning.

There must be some priceless treasure in the deeper regions of this island.

Hmph, the most valuable treasures choose their owners. Who cares if someone else was here first. It will still belong to me!

Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing exchanged bitter smiles.

They knew that someone must have already been on this island before them.

But the aura barrier was already closed up. They could only hope that there were still some fortuitous opportunities left in this island's deeper regions.

Otherwise, this trip would be a total loss!

Feeling his blood racing, Kun Ming dialed up his speed to the maximum.

He refused to return empty-handed. It was an insult to him. And an unbearable loss.

It's near.

It's becoming increasingly closer. It's right in front of me now!

Kun Ming's eyes sparkled. He could feel his blood continue to surge.

A massive temple soon appeared before their eyes.

It was like it had merged into the heavens. One couldn't help feeling awed by the sight.

This splendid temple was like a massive beast, exuding a wild and barbaric aura.

And at the front of the temple was a huge gate.

A gold plaque hung above the door. Four mighty demonic words were carved onto it—Kun Peng Temple!

Kun Ming started trembling when he saw those four words on the plaque.

No one knew just how much this Kun Peng Temple meant to the Great Void Kun race!

To the other races, the Kun Peng Temple might be just another wonderful legend.

But to the Great Void Kun race, this was basically their second ancestral ground.

Ten thousand years ago, that Great Sage Kun Peng had been from the Great Void Kun race bloodline. And Kun Ming happened to be a descendant from the same branch as that Great Sage Kun Peng sage.

He had heard an elder mention before that their Kun Peng ancestor had stumbled upon a Kun Peng island when exploring the Chaotic Star Island domain. He had discovered a Kun Peng Temple on that island.

The treasures inside the Kun Peng Temple might have been swiped clean, but there should be a large number of precious herbs in the herb garden.

In addition, there should be a double-peaked mountain in the inner recesses of the temple.

This double-peaked mountain was imposing and magnificent.

There was a drawing of a giant Kun on the wall of one of the mountains. It possessed the profound Kun Dao. Meanwhile, on the other wall, it had a drawing of a great Peng. It possessed the profound Peng Dao.

If one could understand both the Kun and Peng Daos, one would be able to fully comprehend the Kun Peng Dao and become a true Kun Peng.

The Great Sage Kun Peng had not originally been a very outstanding cultivator. He had just been a mediocre little fish.

He had managed to rise to the top only because he had attained the Kun Peng Dao legacy, with the help of a large number of the herb garden's herbs. From then on, he had become a terrifying figure who reigned over the five regions.

Perhaps he had suffered quite a bit of bullying when he was younger. This Great Sage Kun Peng hadn't imparted the Kun Peng Dao to his own race.

Thereafter, he had defeated a Perfected Immortal during the forbidden wars, inciting the displeasure of that immortal's allies. He had then been ambushed and attacked by a group of Perfected Immortals.

In the end, the Great Sage Kun Peng had been killed by the group of Perfected Immortals, who dismembered his body and made it into soup. It was a very tragic end.

And the Kun Peng Dao was thus ended. He had not imparted the Kun Peng Dao to the Great Void Kun race.

"Worth it. Everything was worth it!" Kun Ming was exhilarated. "So what if there are no fortuitous opportunities in the entire island? Just the fortuitous opportunity in this temple is enough!"

Bi Xuanqing and Er Tongtian seemed to have thought of something. They also looked excited.

They used all their strength to push open the Kun Peng Temple's gate. Under Kun Ming's lead, they charged over to the herb garden.

An intense wave of Spirit Qi surged out when they broke the seal covering the herb garden. The trio was delighted.

This thick Spirit Qi was enough to cultivate countless Sage-level herbs!

The trio surveyed the herb garden with eager eyes. It was like they could already see the bountiful harvest.

But all they saw was... empty space.

Yeap, even the spirit earth had been dug up.

Kun Ming, "..."

Er Tongtian, "..."

Bi Xuanqing, "..."

At that moment, all three North Sea prodigies felt their hearts quiver.

No, their hearts were already dead!

Technically, they were just a few days late. But to those three, they felt like they had missed an entire lifetime.

"No, I don't believe this!" Kun Ming felt like coughing up blood, but he refused to accept the truth. "There is still the Kun Peng double-peaked mountain. And the Kun Peng Dao!"

Kun Ming pushed his two companions aside and charged madly into the innermost section of the temple.

As expected, he discovered the double-peaked mountain.

However, what he saw was not the giant Kun frolicking in the waves or the great Peng soaring in the skies.

He only saw a Kun totally submerged in the ocean and a Peng almost completely obscured by the clouds.

That lazy demeanor. Those listless eyes. And that thick foggy aura...

Those two figures in the drawings looked like a whole bunch of people had just trampled over them. Limp and sluggish.

You wish to understand the Kun Peng Dao from these two wall drawings?

Haha, the only thing you would understand is the meaning of desolation!

Splat!

He was the top prodigy of his generation, reigning proud and mighty over North Sea for hundreds of years. But in the end, he was still unable to endure this impact.

He stiffened as he spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing straight to the floor.

He was like a salted fish who had lost all his dreams. He no longer had any hopes for the remainder of his life.

Chapter 317: Chaotic Times Approach, Arriving At Dragon God Island

Middle Ground, inside some dark abyss...

It was seldom daylight here. A person could not see their own hand even when held up right in front of their eyes.

The entire abyss was filled with an energy that left a lingering fear in a person's heart.

Even the bravest warrior would shiver in fear standing before this abyss. He wouldn't even dare to look down.

But in this dark abyss' deepest recesses was a dazzling golden temple, which radiated with magnificent Buddhist light.

The Buddhist light shone in that massive abyss, like a flame in the darkness.

A pity that the darkness was just too thick and too all-encompassing. It completely engulfed the Buddhist light, such that it was unable to be transmitted out.

This supreme Buddhist temple was sunk deep under.

Opposite this temple was a small palace made of a special black metal.

The images of malicious demons were carved into the palace's beams and eaves, exuding a powerful aura.

Beside these two buildings was another nondescript mansion.

This mansion combined both evil and Buddha in one. On one side was the temple looking as majestic and holy as if the true Buddha himself was sitting inside. On the other side was the bizarrely evil and malicious palace. The contrast was striking.

The three buildings were in a triangular formation, with the Buddhist temple facing the evil palace. They were like mortal enemies.

And that weird mansion faced those two buildings as if maintaining a balance.

Inside the deep abyss, a chanting voice could be heard.

But this chanting sounded exceptionally bizarre. Its sequence was completely reversed.

Twisting the true meaning of the Buddha and going toward the devil!

It was clear that anyone who chanted this twisted version was a bold, supreme villain.

Otherwise, who would dare to challenge the way of Buddha? If found out, he would attract the wrath of Buddha.

Crack!

The chanting suddenly stopped.

That massive demon palace slowly opened, and a tall, burly man in devilish-looking armor walked out. He had a malevolent machete behind him, and he glowed with a demonic flame. The space around him was blurred by the flames, such that his true features could not be clearly seen.

"My past body actually fell in that desolate place in Eastern Wilderness."

The demonic flame surged endlessly across the surface of the man before forming into multiple blades sticking straight out. He looked extremely domineering and malicious.

In such depths, every single piece of rock was of an unimaginable hardness.

But as the man moved across the abyss, all the surrounding rocks were completely dissipated by the flaming blades radiating from his body.

A long, deep slash appeared in the endless abyss. It was like the abyss had been sliced in half.

"A bunch of stupid little kids. They dare to steal my good luck? They don't know the meaning of death!"

The man shot into the air and left the endless abyss. He traveled across tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

The ferocious, deviant aura radiating from his body merged into a thick cloud, blocking out all sunlight.

In a flash, it was like Armageddon had arrived.

The thick cloud spread outward. All living creatures' blood essence and souls evaporated into pure demon essence and were absorbed by the cloud.

It was a bloody-curdling sight.

"What demonic presence is this? So wanton and malicious!"

The man's bold, wilful behavior soon attracted the attention of the surrounding powerful practitioners.

The fabrics of space split open, and a dashing figure appeared before the man. Tens of thousands of Buddhist rays shone out.

The figure was dressed in a jeweled monk's robe, with a powerful Buddha avatar shining behind his golden body. It was like the epitome of a Buddhist paradise had arrived.

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

The monk chanted the ,great Buddhist Sanskrit's words and the malevolent cloud was pierced by holy light. Life on earth flourished again.

"Evil being, how dare you act in such a willful, wicked way! I will exhibit the power of the temple guardian deity to suppress you for 10,000 years!"

The monk's body expanded as he spoke, instantly morphing into a giant Buddha.

Surrounding the giant Buddha were demon-annihilating rods, vajra staffs, menacing knives, Bodhi rosary beads, and countless other Buddhist treasures.

Any one of those Buddhist treasures was enough to kill off a powerful demon beast.

It was clear that this was a truly formidable Sage monk.

Even amongst the major Buddhist forces, he would be considered a top practitioner. Powerful enough to lead a sect of his own.

Rumble!

The concerted roar of the Buddhist treasures was like rumbling thunder.

Countless living creatures across the earth bowed down their heads in respect.

However, the evil man continued to maintain an expression of arrogant contempt.

He sized up the Sage monk scornfully. "Little monk, you do have some skills. Hand over your Buddhist relics, and I will spare your life."

The lips of the giant Buddha figure parted slightly. His voice was like thunder. "An evil creature like you dares to profane Buddha? You deserve to die!"

The giant Buddha reached out his right palm, and a Buddhist swastika symbol appeared. Then Buddhist light burst forth.

Countless Buddhist treasures were infused into that light. There was enough power to suppress a small world.

The supreme technique of the Buddhist sect—Buddha Land in Palm!

One would immediately fall into an endless reincarnation cycle if struck by this technique. Suppressed by the cleansing power of the Buddhist light, one could either convert or die.

Even the most powerful Sages seldom dared to face this technique head-on. Most of them would avoid it.

But faced with this technique, the evil man showed no signs of fear.

"Profane Buddha? Haha!" He sneered. "I have a deeper understanding of Buddhism than you!"

The man drew his demonic-looking machete.

A malevolent blood-red Buddha figure appeared behind the man. Two streaks of blood flowed down his eyes.

A strident Buddhist chanting echoed through the air as if the entire Buddhist land had fallen into destruction.

The moment their avatars collided, the giant Buddha looked shocked.

He realized that his technique was disintegrating.

The supreme Buddhist technique, "Buddha Land in Palm", was being dispelled!

Rumble!

The technique collapsed, and all that was left was the blood-red flash created by the machete. It was an amazing yet terrifying sight.

When the red flash faded, there was no longer any Buddhist light left.

Two halves of a body fell from mid-air, golden blood trailing along. There was no stench of blood. Instead, there was a thick scent of sandalwood.

A rainbow surged out of the severed body across half the sky.

"Nirvana rainbow? You are indeed adept in the way of Buddha." The man kept his machete with a satisfied look. "This kind of Buddhist relic is enough for me to cultivate a new body."

A Buddhist relic flew out of the corpse straight into the palm of the man. He nodded in satisfaction before morphing into a streak of blood-red light and shooting away.

Not long after the man left, the fabric of space split open again, and multiple figures emerged.

They all possessed a faint divine glow. They were all Sages who had clearly undergone the lightning tribulation and successfully cultivated a divine aura.

"We are too late. The Sage monk has fallen."

"How is that possible? The Sage monk's Buddha Land in Palm is indomitable. Who could have killed him in such a short period of time?"

"This lingering blade aura... It is terrifying. It managed to counter the Sage monk's technique in one strike and even chopped his golden body in half."

"The person's powers are definitely at least at the Great Sage Fifth Refinement Stage. And he has a very deep understanding of the Buddhist techniques."

"If I am not wrong, the culprit must be one of the four great Evil Spirit Sect kings. And only one of them has exemplary blade skills and holds a deep understanding of Buddhist techniques. It looks like the Evil Spirit Sect has been revived."

"The Evil Spirit Sect has been lying low for 10,000 years, but the Lifeless King has re-emerged in such a flashy manner. It looks like the five regions will be undergoing a major change soon."

"Go to the Jixia Academy to seek out Fu Zi! If the Evil Spirit Sect is truly making a comeback, we must notify them to prepare for war."

"Over the recent several hundred years, there has been a relatively high frequency of rare, talented prodigies emerging across the five regions. This in itself is a very strange phenomenon."

"Before the world plunges into chaos, prodigies and demons emerge. It was the same 10,000 years ago."

"These prodigies are all closely linked to this. They might be our greatest hope if calamity befalls us."

In order to minimize public panic, news of the fall of the Sage monk in Middle Ground was contained.

Shen Tian had no idea that a powerful Sage practitioner had just emerged and was seeking him for revenge.

At present, he was happily about to raid yet another island!

Yes, Shen Tian, Qi Shaoxuan, and Ao Wu had already arrived at another island with a thick chaos aura.

However, they were not that lucky this time. The team waited for a full three months before the aura barrier opened. This island was situated even deeper inside the Chaotic Star Island domain than Kun Peng island. It radiated with an even more formidable force.

Even though the aura barrier had opened, Ao Wu was so suppressed that he nearly couldn't make it through. He was only able to force his way through with Qi Shaoxuan's and Shen Tian's help.

It was worth mentioning that this island was far bigger than Kun Peng island. It was at least several thousand miles wide.

It was no exaggeration to say that this island was several times bigger than many countries on the mainland.

It might take more than several months time for the three of them to totally raid this island.

More importantly, compared to previous islands raided by Shen Tian and the rest, this island had a thicker Spirit Qi.

Dense jungles and mountain ranges covered the massive island, amongst which all sorts of exotic creatures hid.

Winged rabbits as white as snow, rainbow-colored deer, golden unicorns, and the mythical luan birds with long, hard feathers...

This island felt like a true otherworldly paradise. It was not at all tainted by the aura of any cultivator.

Of course, these exotic beasts may look very beautiful and cute, but as living creatures in the Chaotic Star Island domain's inner regions, their battle prowess was terrifying.

After trying to snatch a carrot from a certain winged rabbit, said rabbit sent Ao Wu flying with a single kick.

If not for his powerful bloodline, he might have died from that kick.

Nonetheless, Ao Wu felt so aggrieved that he was hopping mad!

However, the most powerful being on this island was not those exotic creatures. It was the much more powerful Drake race.

Yes, Drakes. A powerful race that possessed the bloodline of a True Dragon!

There were many types of descendants from the main Dragon race.

Compared to the Black Dragon race on Black Dragon Island, the Drake race on this island did not possess any intelligence.

They were more like those western Dragons which Shen Tian used to watch in movie theaters in his previous life. They were extremely powerful and very violent.

The Red-Bearded Fire Dragon that controlled the power of volcanos was such an example. One sneeze from them could make a volcano erupt.

Or the Wind Lord Wyvern that harnessed the power of the wind. It could send mighty hurricane gales that could cut through anything.

There was also the King Kong Savage Dragon that could manipulate ground energies. Its entire body was covered by crystalline King Kong Spirit Stones and possessed an absolute defense.

As well as the Eight-Limbed Blue Dragon that could command the sea, the Gold Sacred Dragon that could harness the power of light, the Black Poison Dragon that had a complete mastery of all venoms, and so on.

These mighty Drakes dominated over this island. Most of the full-grown giant Dragons here were powerful enough to go head-to-head with a Heavenly Venerable.

Even Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan could feel the powerful and terrifying aura emanating from this island's deeper regions. It was the suppressive aura of a Sage-level being.

This island even had beings that were more powerful than a Sage!

As a result, the trio, who had planned to boldly raid the island, became more cautious.

If faced with only one or two Heavenly Venerable-level giant Dragons, the trio could still hold themselves with the power of their pure dragon bloodline.

But there were at least 100 Heavenly Venerable-level giant Dragons on this island. And many of them possessed battle prowess that was even higher than that of a Heavenly Venerable.

Under such circumstances, it would be suicidal to be too bold and arrogant.

They had set up a presence concealing array inside their cave hideout.

The bonfire burned as they roasted a two-feet long wild rabbit.

This wild rabbit was very plump and juicy. Golden fat juices dripped down onto the fire.

The smell of roasting meat mixed with condiments swirled around the cave—very tempting.

"This should be the legendary Dragon God Island!" Ao Wu gnawed happily on a roasted rabbit wing. "I think I have read about this island in some ancient records."

Yes, rabbit wing.

The rabbit being roasted was the very same winged rabbit that had nearly kicked Ao Wu to death.

This Dragon teenager was a really vengeful fellow!

It was worth mentioning that not only was the winged rabbit very powerful, but it could also sprint at extraordinary speed. It was as fast as lightning.

If not for Shen Tian's Feather Immortal Metal and the Kun Peng Dao, he probably wouldn't have been able to catch that rabbit.

The rabbit looked rather adorable and tasted even more delicious.

Shen Tian ate two rabbit thighs and felt warm and happy all over.

He took a sip of Divine Juice Wine and sprawled comfortably on the ground. Awesome!

With Ao Wu in the center, Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan lazed about on either side, rubbing their full bellies contentedly.

Qi Shaoxuan asked, "Dragon God Island? What a familiar name... Don't tell me..."

As if he thought of something, Qi Shaoxuan's face changed. "Don't tell me this is that very island in the legends? Isn't it supposed to have gone missing since eons ago?"

Ao Wu nodded. "According to the ancient records, Dragon God Island is situated in the deepest recesses of the Chaotic Star Island domain. It almost never appears.

"But this island holds a vast population of Δrakes. The amount of resources and fortuitous opportunities on this island is unimaginable.

"It was even rumored that the Black Dragon race originated from this Dragon God Island. We are the descendants of one of the Dragon races on this island.

"Of course, those are just rumors. No one can confirm."

With that, Ao Wu gazed at Shen Tian admiringly. "We have been seeking this island over the past 10,000 years. But we have never found it.

"The last person to have visited this island was Grand-Aunt Ao Bing 10,000 years ago!

"Didn't expect Brother Shen to be able to lead us to this Dragon God Island during your very first visit to this Chaotic Star Island domain. You are really great!"

Qi Shaoxuan, "???"

Come on, didn't we find this Dragon God Island together?

Although Shen Tian did lead the way, maybe it was because of my good providence?

I also used to be the Son of Providence!

Well!

Qi Shaoxuan grumbled endlessly on the inside, but he wisely chose not to voice out his grievances. After all, ever since Shen Tian entered the Chaotic Star Island domain, every single island he targeted had been right on point.

The first time was Sea God's Star Tear Island. The second was Kun Peng Island. And now was this Dragon God Island. His island-picking process was just too solid.

One could describe the island-picking process of a normal prodigy to a lady window-shopping. Browsing here and there, hesitating now and then whether to enter a certain shop.

But for Shen Tian, he was like a big boss buying something. He knew exactly what he wanted, and he just went for it.

Along the way, they had encountered some other exotic-looking islands, but Shen Tian had not even spared them a single glance.

Under such circumstances, it was no coincidence they found this Dragon God Island. Shen Tian already knew what he was looking for and where to find it.

Qi Shaoxuan had no idea how Shen Tian managed to find this long-lost Dragon God Island. Nonetheless, he decided to respect his privacy.

At the same time, he acknowledged that he was leveraging off Shen Tian.

Even a fool would know that this island, which was highly-revered by the Black Dragon race, definitely had amazing fortuitous opportunities here!

Finding this island under Shen Tian's lead—he really owed him one!

Shen Tian had no idea what Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu were thinking. He had only one thing on his mind now. It was how to maximize the fortuitous opportunities here.

Shen Tian had already seen the biggest fortuitous opportunity present here on this island from the tops of Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu's heads.

However, there were still over a dozen days to go before the full-moon night when that fortuitous opportunity would appear. Till then, the other fortuitous opportunities on this island were also quite considerable.

As the saying went, "Money came from danger." Shen Tian felt like he should maximize his time here.

After some thought, Shen Tian asked, "Brother Qi, do you detect any treasures on this island with your Purre Heavenly Eye?"

Qi Shaoxuan gazed about proudly. "Although my battle prowess is slightly below that of Brother Shen's, my Pure Heavenly Eye's detecting powers are second to none. As long as I will it, no precious treasures or herbs within 100 miles can escape my eye."

This type of detecting power was not just about how far he could see. It was also the ability to only detect what he was looking for.

As long as there was no concealing array, nothing could escape the Pure Heavenly Eye.

Of course, a powerful being would be able to feel Qi Shaoxuan's eye, and it might even retaliate.

As a result, it could be quite dangerous for someone to use the Pure Heavenly Eye to snoop on a powerful being. It might provoke the powerful being into a murderous pursuit.

After all, powerful beings had their own pride.

Nevertheless, those giant Dragons on this island might be very powerful, but they had very low intelligence.

Those giant Dragons couldn't care less about Qi Shaoxuan's Pure Heavenly Eye peeking in on them.

"No valuable herbs within a 100-mile radius can escape my detection!"

Shen Tian beamed. "That's great!"

He gazed at Qi Shaoxuan with sparkling eyes. "Brother Qi, let's work together to raid them all!

Work together to raid them all?

Feeling Shen Tian's passionate gaze, Qi Shaoxuan also felt his blood ignite.

Raiding them all with Brother Shen. Could he be declaring war against those Heavenly Venerable-level giant Dragons? Just the thought of it made my blood surge with excitement!

Nodding seriously, Qi Shaoxuan agreed with anticipation. "Brother Shen, I am with you!"

The next morning, murky sunlight pierced through the darkness.

Having had a good night's sleep, the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon stretched lazily and crawled out of its nest. It glanced at the giant purple tree outside its nest with satisfaction. Nine purple fruits were growing on that tree. Every single one of them sparkled.

The fruits had mysterious scriptures carved onto their surfaces and purple lightning bolts crackling about them. They were definitely no ordinary fruits.

The bones of countless exotic creatures were buried underneath the giant purple tree's roots.

This was how the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon and the Lightning Giant Tree co-existed. The Dragon would bury the bones of all its prey under the roots of that tree.

The bones of those powerful creatures were a vibrant source of Spirit Qi. They were the best type of fertilizer for the Lightning Giant Tree and could make it grow faster.

In return, the Lightning Giant Tree would bear "Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits".

These Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits possessed the lightning energies of the Lightning Giant Tree. It was a supreme lightning-based treasure and could greatly enhance one's lightning power.

The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon's powers would improve significantly if it could ingest those nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits. It could even reach "Dragon King" status.

Yes, the Dragon King of this island! A Sage-level existence!

These nine fruits would be ripe soon.

It just needed the bones from a few more powerful prey as fertilizer for this Lightning Giant Tree. These nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits would ripen and fall.

By then, it would be the most respected great Lord Dragon King on this island!

The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon sashayed out of its nest to begin a new day of hunting and killing.

Would the other creatures on this island steal the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits?

Haha, there was no need to worry about that at all. The Dragon had already sprayed the surroundings of its nest with urine.

The weaker beasts would never even dream of going near its nest. Meanwhile, even the more powerful ones would be very reluctant to do so. This would mean declaring war against it.

The Dragon strode off without a care in the world.

What it didn't know was that about an hour after it left the nest, a "tiny" figure popped out nearby.

Yes, that figure was Shen Tian.

He made an "OK" gesture in a certain direction before turning his gaze toward the Lightning Giant Tree.

Good stuff!

Shen Tian had seen this tree in some of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's ancient records. It was one of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's most highly-exalted spirit plants.

Using it as the main ingredient with some supplementary herbs, one could refine the legendary Divine Firmament Tribulation Elixir.

Ingesting just one of those elixirs before undergoing a tribulation could reduce damage caused by lightning by 30%.

It should be pointed out just how many elite practitioners failed their Heavenly Tribulations by a mere hair. They could have succeeded if they had ingested this Divine Firmament Tribulation Elixir beforehand. This type of elixir was like a life-saving divine medicine to those who weren't 100% confident of overcoming their tribulation.

"Didn't expect there to be such a treasure growing beside this fellow's nest. Very good, we are taking it!"

Shen Tian walked to the front of the tree with a smile. He took out 500ml of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!

About 100 yards away, a certain Purple Mansion Saint's heart ached at the sight.

Brother Shen is too wasteful!

But as wasteful as it may seem, the results were indisputable.

The Nirvana Holy Liquid poured into the ground was instantly absorbed by the Lightning Giant Tree.

Soon after, countless lightning bolts erupted around the Lightning Giant Tree.

Streaks of purple lightning struck the tree, forming lines of lightning scriptures. The lightning currents all flowed straight into the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits.

Those nearly-ripe fruits immediately fell to the ground.

"Aiyo, just 250ml, and you are already satisfied?"

Shen Tian happily kept the remaining 250ml of Nirvana Holy Liquid back into his Archeon Sea Ring. Two Divine Devouring Vines shot out of his hands and collected all those Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits.

A bountiful harvest! A bountiful harvest!

If Master saw all these Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits, his heavenly aura would ripple for three months straight!

Just as he was feeling very pleased with himself, the earth suddenly vibrated.

Roar!

An angry roar resonated from someplace far away. A massive beast was charging toward them.

It exuded an extremely violent aura, its jaws still stained with fresh blood from some exotic beast. It was clear that this fellow was in the middle of killing its prey when it detected a change at its nest and was now rushing back.

Zap!

A dense purple lightning ball was coagulating in the jaws of that Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

The Dragon glared at Shen Tian as the lightning ball suddenly shot toward him. The lightning ball turned the surrounding fabrics of space into dust. Its power was such that it could kill a weaker Heavenly Venerable-level practitioner within seconds.

"Can Brother Shen defend himself against such a powerful attack? Nothing bad can happen to Brother Shen! Only I can defeat Brother Shen!"

Up in mid-air, Qi Shaoxuan's Pure Heavenly Eye glowed as he clenched his fists.

Rumble!

Under the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon's wrath-filled eyes, the big lightning ball struck the surface of the ground.

In the blink of an eye, purple lightning filled the air, devastating the entire area.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian gradually disappeared amongst the lightning...

Chapter 318: I'll Annihilate You All, But Not At The Cost Of My Lifespan!

Roar!

When the dust settled, a huge hole appeared on the ground.

The hole was hundreds of feet in diameter and was sparkling with a glittering luster.

The gravel had turned into crystals under the bombardment of the lightning through high temperature.

Shen Tian had completely disappeared as if he had turned into powder under that strike.

The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon shook its head in satisfaction.

Damn human, you dare to steal my Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits? I've killed you in one strike!

However, shortly after, the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon discovered something strange.

Although Shen Tian had disappeared, the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits also vanished.

How was that possible!

One had to know that the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit was a supreme lightning-attributed spirit fruit, so it was completely immune to lightning attacks. Even if that human had turned into ash under the lightning, those nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits should still be there.

However, just why did the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits also disappear?

The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon was instantly enraged. Was it possible that there were other thieves nearby?

It sniffled and tried its best to sense the aura and energy fluctuation nearby.

Don't think that because the Drakes' intelligence was not high and did not possess the humans' and demons' ingenious means, they were easy to deal with. They had an extremely keen sense of smell and the ability to sense energy. Thus, they could easily perceive nearby intruders.

Normally, even if human Heavenly Venerables wanted to sneak into the vicinity of the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon, they would be quickly discovered and driven out.

To the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon, that thief that had stolen his Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit must still be close!

It tried its best to sense any fluctuation in energy and smelled if there were any strange auras.

However, the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon found nothing.

That was because Shen Tian's ability to conceal his presence was unparalleled.

After circulating the Tinder Sutra, Shen Tian could completely conceal all his aura, so he could not be detected at all. In addition, the Hurricane Lilies had the ability to allow him to enter void pockets.

As long as Shen Tian hid underground, it would be difficult for even Sages to find him.

Finally, Shen Tian left under the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon's crazy bombardment, which was on the verge of despair.

He did not think that it was unkind of him to steal the nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits. After all, Dragon Island's rule of survival was none other than the survival of the fittest.

The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon would often hunt other mutated beasts to eat.

Shen Tian was already kind enough not to snatch the Drake eggs when the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon left.

Well, that was considering that Ao Wu was also a Dragon, so the impact would not be good.

Emerald luster was gradually emitted from the green grassland, and an imposing figure slowly emerged.

He was wearing the Azure Dragon Armor, and his body was wrapped with emerald vines. He looked just like the God of Flora.

"Brother Qi's Pure Heavenly Eye is indeed powerful. We've reaped a bountiful harvest this time." Shen Tian smiled brightly as he took the nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits out of his Archeon Sea Ring and said, "There's a total of nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits. We'll split them evenly with the three of us!"

Qi Shaoxuan hurriedly shook his head. "I only found the sacred fruits. It's Brother Shen who risked his life to obtain the sacred fruits. How could I take advantage of you?"

Ao Wu pouted and said helplessly, "Don't look at me. I did not do anything, so don't count me in. Brother Shen, just split it with Brother Qi! I'll just share with Brother Qi."

Qi Shaoxuan, "???"

Good job!

You have been currying favor with Brother Shen, but once it's time to split the loot, you think of "sharing with Brother Qi".

Such a smart dodger!

Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian in disapproval. "How about this! Brother Shen, Ao Wu, and I take three while you keep the remaining six."

He was not a Divine Firmament disciple, but he knew that the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit was an extremely precious sacred fruit.

Although the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground could also create pills using the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit, they would still have to associate with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground if they really wanted to maximize the sacred fruit's value.

Not to mention that with such an exceptional disciple, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would definitely rise up and become Eastern Wilderness' ruler.

Although Qi Shaoxuan self-proclaimed to be "invincible", he still had to consider his sect's future.

Divine Firmament and Purple Mansion had been secretly or publicly competing for so many years, so it was time to stop.

Let the friendship between the two major sacred grounds start with Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan!

Shen Tian originally wanted to refuse, but Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu were determined.

Without any other choice, he could only accept the six Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits and simultaneously exclaim how generous the both of them were.

Who said that everyone in the cultivation world prioritizes self-interest?

Why have all the prodigies of the same generation that I have met all view fortuitous opportunities as nothing to them and remain true to themselves in front of treasures?

I'm ashamed! What did I do to deserve so many good brothers that cherish friendship!

The trio rested for a while. Meanwhile, they were waiting to see if the other Drakes would help after the Purple Lighting Drake's treasure was stolen.

The facts proved that Dragon Island's Drakes did not seem to be united. The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon was going crazy, but no Drakes bothered with it.

Besides those weak mutated beasts within the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon's territory that were trembling in fear, the other powerful Drakes seemed as if they did not hear anything.

Some Drakes that were on bad terms with the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon were secretly laughing as they saw how enraged it was.

Yeap, seeing how tragic you are, I'm really too happy. I even ate an extra dozen of tonnes for lunch!

However, those Drakes had never expected that it was too early for them to be happy.

After two hours, Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan chose other targets and put in motion their guerrilla strategy.

While a certain King Kong Savage Dragon was out hunting, the hundreds of stalks of 1,000-year-old King Kong Glazed Grass were stolen; even the soil was not left behind.

The King Kong Glazed Grass was an unparalleled herb that could strengthen Godfiend cultivators' physiques. It was best to use it during the Golden Body realm.

Just one pill made from such a herb could improve one's physical strength greatly.

As for Godfiend cultivators, such a pill was priceless!

A certain Gold Sacred Dragon had only gone out on a stroll for a few minutes, but its lair—made of Light Spirit Gold and filled with Light Spirit Gold Ores—was directly taken away.

That was the Light Spirit Gold that the Gold Sacred Dragon had spent thousands of years to refine from the Light Spirit Gold Ores diligently.

Although its quality could not be compared with the Immortal Metals on the extraordinary item list, its amount was immense!

One had to know that the Gold Sacred Dragon was at least thousands of feet long, so its lair would be at least that size.

How much Light Spirit Gold was there?

It was enough to astound many sacred grounds.

If such a fortune was in Eastern Wilderness or Middle Ground, even a Sage would not be able to protect it.

Only in such an isolated land like Dragon Island could these supreme treasures be wasted like this, using the Light Spirit Gold to create one's lair.

Frankly speaking, Qi Shaoxuan had never expected that Shen Tian could store the Light Spirit Gold.

Although the Gold Sacred Dragon did not know how to create artifacts, just the weight of this lair that was made of tonnes of Light Spirit Gold was enough for Soul Formation cultivators to turn pale from astonishment.

Not to mention that the lair was even connected with the Light Spirit Gold Ores, making it difficult to separate them.

Heavenly Venerables would find it challenging to accomplish such an admirable feat, but Shen Tian did it.

He used his Sky-Smashing Palm and directly split the dragon's lair from the ores. The almost indestructible Light Spirit Gold was as weak as a jerry-built project in front of Shen Tian. It could not last in front of Shen Tian's attacks.

When the Gold Sacred Dragon returned, what it saw was Shen Tian stuffing the last bit of the dragon lair into his storage ring before disappearing.

When Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu witnessed that, they looked at each other. They had completely acknowledged him from the bottom of their hearts.

Brother Shen really cannot be provoked or offended!

Not only was he invincible when fighting against those of the same cultivation level, but those that surpassed him by a stage would also suffer a crushing defeat.

More importantly, if he wanted to play dirty, no one could stop him.

If someone offended him, he didn't even need to fight said person. He just needed to visit said person's sect, and shortly after, the whole sect would be empty.

Also, Shen Tian could completely conceal his presence. Thus, as long as he lay low, it would be difficult for even a Sage to find him.

A person that was all-rounded, able to take damage, attack, stay alive, conceal his presence, and retreat, could only be befriended. Once one became his enemy, Shen Tian would definitely cause the person to have nightmares.

Afterward, Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu kept a low profile.

The reason was simple—the whole Dragon Island had become chaotic.

Powerful Drakes were crazily searching for the presence of intruders.

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu did not have such a powerful presence-concealing ability like Shen Tian, so they could only stay in the cave. If they left the cave and lost the Presence Concealing Array's protection, Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu believed that they would most likely become Shen Tian's scapegoat.

Well, then they would be torn apart by the group of enraged Drakes.

On the other hand, Shen Tian did not have such worries. He was still exploring this island diligently every day.

Anyway, the furious Drakes were only at the Soul Formation (Mighty Prowess) stage. They might not be able to defeat Shen Tian if they really fought one-vs-one.

Even if Shen Tian was no match for those Drakes, he could just activate the Kun Peng Dao to escape. Even the Wind Lord Wyvern might not be able to chase after him.

Worse came to worse, he could directly go underground and conceal his presence, then stay low for a while.

Anyway, with enough aces up his sleeves, he could survive no matter what.

The only thing that Shen Tian found a shame was that Qi Shaoxuan did not dare to go out anymore, so his efficiency for finding treasures decreased by quite a bit. He could only depend completely on his luck to plunder the fortuitous opportunities on the island. Although he did obtain quite the amount of loots, it was still barely satisfactory.

It was because his halo was just red with spots of gold, so his providence was much weaker than those sheep that he fleeced wool from.

Forget it, it's better than nothing, so let's just steal them first!

Come on, Shen Tian, your dream life is created by your own hands. Cheer up!

After encouraging himself, Shen Tian continued to conceal his presence and went around Dragon Island.

Roar!

Roar!

Argh!

At that moment, the Drakes' angered roars reverberated throughout the island.

Shen Tian slowly lifted his head and saw that a few huge Wyverns were flying in the distance.

Some of them were green and created tornadoes once they flapped their wings, slicing through the air.

Some others were gold and looked dignified.

They were Wind Lord Wyverns and Gold Sacred Dragons, a group of them!

Not only so, but the ground was also trembling. The huge trees were shaking, and the mountains were crumbling as humongous Drakes appeared.

Some were spitting out blazing flames, some were surrounded by lightning, and some had bodies that were as clear as diamonds and looked like they had an extremely powerful defense.

Evidently, none of those Drakes should have been provoked!

Is it possible they detected me?

Shen Tian's heart skipped several beats, but that shouldn't be the case. He had already concealed his presence and did not make much noise.

Yeap, it's still better to be careful.

Shen Tian's body emitted green light as he gradually entered the ground, and only his head was revealed.

If he noticed anything wrong, he could immediately go underground and escape.

Even if those Drakes really saw through his presence concealment, they would not be able to catch him!

After being on guard, Shen Tian's ears moved slightly. He seemed to have heard another human crying for help.

"WTF!? Why are all these foul beasts chasing me?

"I only took a Tuber Fleeceflower from the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon territory. It's just a 1,000-year-old Tuber Fleeceflower. Did you have to f*cking chase me for so many days and nights non-stop?

"One is not enough, so more and more are gathering? Are you Drakes all so united? It's just a Tuber Fleeceflower, I'll return it to you!

"I've already returned the Tuber Fleeceflower, why are you still chasing!? Do you really think I'm afraid of you foul beasts?

"If I were not afraid of reducing my lifespan, I'd definitely kill you all! Don't force me!

"Even I'm afraid if I truly get angry!

"OMG! Is there someone here? Save me!

"Stop burning my buttocks!"

As the cry for help got closer and closer, a figure wearing white clothes appeared in front of Shen Tian shortly.

The handsome man's clothes were as white as snow, and he was as good-looking as Qi Shaoxuan.

However, the strange thing was this handsome man had extremely dark eye circles.

Even pandas would feel inferior in front of him.

Also, dozens of fearsome Mighty Prowess Drakes were chasing after the white-clothed man. They were either attacking with their wings or their mouths.

Blazing flames, ice storms, tornadoes, lightning, light...

Shen Tian felt as if he was watching a 4D Hollywood blockbuster.

Meanwhile, although the man the Drakes chased looked weak, his performance at escaping made Shen Tian's eyes lit up.

Although that man seemed to be in a sorry state, he was escaping safely. His escaping speed was extremely fast. It was obvious that he had learned an extremely powerful escaping skill, which could make his speed comparable to the Wind Lord Wyverns'.

One had to know that the Wind Lord Wyvern was a mutated beast that could control wind-attribute laws. Thus, even amongst Mighty Prowess Drakes, it was the best in terms of speed.

That man's spiritual energy was unstable, so it was obvious that it was not long since he had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Thus, he was not in peak condition.

Even so, he could still stay alive despite being chased by the Wind Lord Wyverns.

Shen Tian being the exception, that fellow was the fastest at escaping amongst all the human prodigies that Shen Tian had encountered before.

More importantly, this guy seemed to be extremely proficient in space-type techniques. Each time those Drakes' attacks were about to strike him, his body would turn into nothingness as if he had entered the void.

However, Shen Tian discovered that every time that guy transformed his body into nothingness, he would always seem to be exhausted.

Not only would he pant heavily, but he would also gulp down a large amount of nourishment medicine. His pair of dark circles... also seemed to have turned darker from before.

However, that was not the most important thing. What attracted Shen Tian's attention the most was his head.

There was a purplish-gold halo hovering over that fellow's head—it was not weaker than Qi Shaoxuan's!

More importantly, the halo's scenes of fortuitous opportunities moved Shen Tian to the extreme.

Shen Tian instantly made a decision.

For the sake of humanitarianism, he was going to save that fellow!

Chapter 319: There Can Only Be One Number One In The World!

Wang Shenxu's already pale face turned even whiter when he felt the terrifying aura of over a dozen giant Dragons behind him.

It should be pointed out that he had secretly snuck into Chaotic Star Island just for fun.

It was like this. Several months ago, Qi Shaoxuan had challenged all the prodigy Saints in the entire Eastern Wilderness. One of them was Wang Shenxu, who was ranked fourth on the Golden Core List. He was a key opponent.

However, Wang Shenxu's Great Void Sutra was a life-shortening technique.

There was no harm done using some of the simpler techniques in the sutra, but for those high-level lethal moves, one's life would definitely be cut short a few years.

That was especially the case for Wang Shenxu, who had the divine void constitution. His lifespan would be expended even faster than normal people when he used this cursed sutra.

Even though he had been cultivating his body using precious medicines for a long time, it would still be very difficult for him to live as long as his fellow cultivators.

If he fought another fierce battle with someone, he would probably not last beyond 50 years of age.

It should be pointed out that a normal cultivator's lifespan, even a Golden Core Perfected One, was at least 500 years. A Nascent Soul cultivator could live up to 1,000 years.

To die at 50 years old... it was definitely being cut off at one's prime.

As a result, Wang Shenxu had turned and fled without any hesitation.

His actions might be a disgrace to his sect, but this was his own life they were talking about. This was not a critical situation. No way he would sacrifice himself!

Wang Shenxu had taken advantage of the dark night and howling winds to flee the Great Void Sacred Ground, bringing along his life savings and Five Treasures Tea. All the way until he was out of Eastern Wilderness.

He had been thinking of going to North Sea for a jaunt. That place was hundreds of thousands of miles away from Eastern Wilderness. As domineering as Qi Shaoxuan was, he couldn't possibly chase him all the way to North Sea to challenge him, right?

After arriving at North Sea, Wang Shenxu had been spending many enjoyable days just relaxing.

The air there was good and the sea breeze very soothing. The Clam fairies were also very supple.

Wang Shenxu really loved it there!

A pity that he had left his sacred ground in a hurry and hadn't brought enough money with him.

After living extravagantly for a period of time, he had ended up spending quite a number of Spirit Stones and nearly finished all his Five Treasures Tea.

Wang Shenxu felt that it was time for him to find some way to earn some money.

He had happened to overhear that North Sea's Chaotic Star Island would be opening. After some consideration, Wang Shenxu felt that he could sneak in and obtain some treasures.

As a result, Wang Shenxu had exchanged several years of his life to set up a teleportation circle outside Chaotic Star Island.

After Chaotic Star Island opened, Wang Shenxu had activated his array and entered the domain, overtaking those North Sea prodigies.

However, he hadn't expected his array to send him straight onto one of the islands in the deeper recesses of the Chaotic Star Island domain.

This wasn't really a bad thing at the start. The island was full of Spirit Qi and held a lot of treasures.

There were also lots of blood essence, Solomon's Seals, Spirit Dates, and Wolfberries. He could collect those to replenish his lifespan.

But before Wang Shenxu could even collect much of anything, he faced extreme opposition.

He had just quietly plucked a small bunch of Tuber Fleeceflowers when he was immediately chased by a large group of blood-thirsty giant Dragons.

I say! There are so many spirit herbs growing across this entire island. Why can't you just let me have a bit!?

These Dragons are so stingy!

Wang Shenxu grumbled as he fled, feeling very much cheated.

After all, was it so easy to evade the attacks of Heavenly-Venerable-level beings?

Wang Shenxu's Great Void Technique was powerful, but it came with a heavy price.

Wang Shenxu's lifespan would be significantly shortened every time he executed this technique. A short burst would cut his life short by one and a half years while maintaining the technique for a longer period would shorten his life by three to five years.

If he continued to run like this, Wang Shenxu felt that even if the Dragons didn't get to him first, he might just use up his entire life.

Don't tell me I will meet my end in such a wretched way here!?

Wang Shenxu ground his teeth. He refused to give up!

Wang Shenxu narrowed his eyes.

He had suddenly noticed two vines protruding out from beneath his feet. These two vines were green and clear as jade. However, they were like two poisonous snakes to Wang Shenxu.

This was because those two vines were curling around his legs at astonishing speed.

Is this some beast that can control plants?

Wang Shenxu's face changed. He had no doubt that those giant Dragons behind him would immediately turn him into mush if he was bound.

"You want to capture me? Dream on! Break!"

Wang Shenxu performed some hand seals, and an invisible blade appeared, which directly hacked down on those two vines.

Swoosh!

The invisible blade possessed the energy of the void and sliced through the fabrics of space.

This invisible blade would be able to cut through even a highly-refined spirit metal.

But to Wang Shenxu's astonishment, his blade only managed to penetrate halfway down the center of the vines.

Surprisingly, after the invisible blade's energy faded, the slashes on the vines instantly sealed back up.

The vines continued to wrap themselves around him at top speed.

Damn, I can't even break you in two?

Wang Shenxu's face turned grim. He performed some hand seals again, and his aura expanded until he seemed to merge with space itself.

His body had turned into an illusion. No burning flame, lightning, or hurricane winds could do him the slightest bit of damage now. They would all just pass through him.

"Foolish giant Dragons. You want to harm my divine void constitution? Dream on... Damn!"

Before Wang Shenxu could complete his sentence, shock and fear spread across his face. He realized that those vines were able to reach through the void and continue binding him around the waist. His divine void constitution was useless against those vines!

Those filthy vines actually had the ability to reach through the void!

It must be known that Wang Shenxu's void control abilities were much more powerful than many other elite practitioners'.

If he wished to hide in some shadowy corner of the void, even a Heavenly Venerable's attack would not be able to reach him or do him any harm.

Wang Shenxu never expected these vines to be able to reach in!

Doomed! I am doomed!

Wang Shenxu had been able to run circles around those giant Dragons because they were unable to hit him.

But now that those strange vines had bound him to a spot, how was he supposed to fight those giant Dragons now?

"My great dragon brothers, spare me! I am still a virgin!"

The jade green vines wrapped themselves around Wang Shenxu's waist and dragged him underground.

Wang Shenxu's face turned pale as he executed his Great Void Imperial Sutra to try and break free of those vines. He no longer cared about the shortening of his lifespan.

However, he realized with despondency that it was useless. The two vines seemed to possess a powerful ability to control space. It completely nullified his techniques.

"Scoundrel, you are forcing me to the edge!

"I must kill you! I don't care even if I have to cut off 50 years of my life!"

Wang Shenxu's youthful, elegant face was now filled with rage. He was executing hand seals at lightning speed.

His aura had turned even more terrifying, and the invisible blade enveloped his entire body.

Wang Shenxu reached out, and the invisible blade morphed into a massive formless machete.

"Time is like a knife cutting down on prodigies. Using my own lifespan in exchange, I will have your death now!"

His machete attack was terrifying beyond imagination!

The moment it appeared, the surrounding fabrics of space were twisted and turned.

Even the Divine Devouring Vines suffered multiple slashes.

It was obvious that Wang Shenxu was really going all out!

However, just as he was about to execute another move, a pleasant-sounding man's voice rang out beside his ear. "Brother, please don't misunderstand. I am here to help you."

Help me?

Wang Shenxu's face changed. He suddenly realized that a drop-dead gorgeous man dressed in white was at the other end of the vine.

Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?

I already sacrificed 50 years of my life. Who should I attack now?

Wang Shenxu's pale face turned red as he clutched his machete. He suddenly felt like crying.

If not for the fact that this handsome man looked rather powerful and could indeed be of help to him, Wang Shenxu would have just killed him.

My lifespan is very precious and cannot be wasted!

Woooooo!

Just as Wang Shenxu was dallying with Shen Tian, the group of giant Dragons was fast approaching.

One of the Dragons was a Wind Lord Wyvern and moved very fast. It was already about several dozen feet away from Wang Shenxu.

Don't be fooled into thinking that several dozen feet was a long distance. To those Soul Formation giant Dragons, several dozen feet was only half their body length.

Just a flutter of their wings or shake of their legs, and they would be able to swallow Wang Shenxu whole.

"Damn you all!"

Wang Shenxu was completely incensed. He wielded that terrifying machete, which he had formed in exchange for 50 years of his life, and charged toward that Wind Lord Wyvern.

The formless machete suddenly enlarged.

Several feet long... several dozen feet long... several hundred feet long!

The invisible blade sliced the entire void into two halves, suddenly appearing in front of that Wind Lord Wyvern.

Shock and fear flashed across the Wind Lord Wyvern's face.

At that very moment, it could feel the very real threat of death.

Woooooo!

The Wind Lord Wyvern let a distressed roar and erupted in countless green light rays. Powerful winds swirled around its body. It flapped its right wing like a huge blade. It glinted with a harshness that was like the bitter chill of countless giant Dragons.

But the right wing was no match for the invisible blade.

The moment the two collided, the right wing broke off completely at the shoulder.

The Wind Lord Wyvern cried out in distress.

"Good stuff. Don't waste!"

A figure shot up from the ground and kept the huge wing.

Following that, his golden wings spread out as he appeared right beside Wang Shenxu.

Swoosh!

The two figures immediately went underground. In just a few breaths' time, they seemed to have completely disappeared from the detection radius of all Dragons.

Yeap, of course, there were also giant Dragons who were adept at tunneling underground. They could have continued the pursuit.

But seeing the pitiful Wind Lord Wyvern with its missing wing, those giant Dragons wisely chose to back off.

After all, it was not like they had lost their babies and had to go all out to fight.

They did not wish to chase after those humans and fight them to the death, only to have the other Dragons picking up the loot.

The Dragon God Island's Dragons and Drakes may not be intelligent beings, but they were not that dumb either.

"No need to thank me, we are all humans. Helping another human in trouble is something I should do."

Shen Tian smiled at Wang Shenxu as they traveled underground, with him controlling the Divine Devouring Vine.

Wang Shenxu just stared at Shen Tian with a begrudging look. He looked like a wife who had been wronged.

Wang Shenxu asked, "Why did all the giant Dragons on this island all chase after me in such a crazed manner?"

Shen Tian was slightly taken aback. He immediately felt rather guilty. "Ahem, how would I know? Perhaps those giant Dragons are xenophobic!"

Wang Shenxu's expression became increasingly bitter. "But why do I feel like those giant Dragons became even more incensed after seeing you?"

Wang Shenxu was no fool. He already felt that something was not quite right with this Dragon God Island.

He had wanted to rely on his void skills to quietly steal some treasures from this island.

But he hadn't actually done anything yet! Why did those giant Dragons become so enraged the moment they spotted him?

Wang Shenxu finally understood when he saw Shen Tian.

He was not the only human on this island. There were others.

And this fellow was also very good at advanced void techniques. It was clear he was a good candidate for inciting those Dragons' anger.

In any case, there's no way I am going to be a scapegoat for this guy!

If only I knew this. I wouldn't have had to sacrifice 50 years of my life for that machete technique!

The hair at the back of Shen Tian's neck stood on end as Wang Shenxu continued to glare at him.

Don't tell me this fellow managed to guess the truth?

But you really can't blame me!

Who knew that an unlucky chap like you was also on this island?

Time to change the subject!

Yeap, now is the time to immediately change the subject.

Shen Tian thought for a moment before cupping his fists in respect toward Wang Shenxu. "I am the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian. May I know who you are?"

Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian?

The Son of Providence who helped the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground retrieve their imperial sutra's forbidden chapter?

Didn't he join the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground just a short while ago and was at the Foundation Establishment level? How did he become so powerful in such a short period of time?

Wang Shenxu sized up Shen Tian dubiously. To be honest, he was not convinced of who Shen Tian said he was.

He had come to North Sea several months ago to avoid battle. As a result, he was not too sure of the latest happenings in Eastern Wilderness.

Anyway, this person's identity was rather dubious. He had to be careful!

Seeing Wang Shenxu keep mum, Shen Tian thought he was still angry at him.

After thinking a little, Shen Tian took a small jade bottle out of his Archeon Sea Ring.

"You were injured just now. Here is some Nirvana Holy Liquid. It can help you recover somewhat."

Nirvana Holy Liquid!?

Wang Shenxu was startled. He was completely dumbstruck.

It should be pointed that the Nirvana Holy Liquid was refined from the powers of a plant-based demon.

To a cultivator who had to burn their lifespan to execute their techniques, the Nirvana Holy Liquid was the best elixir to replenish their life energy!

Wang Shenxu quickly accepted the small jade bottle and opened the cap.

He saw about 500ml of the silver liquid inside.

The liquid exuded an exceptionally pure aura, igniting an intense thirst in Wang Shenxu's depleted body.

It was really the Nirvana Holy Liquid. And of the highest quality!

These 500ml of Nirvana Holy Liquid would be the equivalent of drinking over a dozen liters of that Five Treasures Tea!

This brother is so wealthy and generous. From the very first time I saw him, I knew that he must be a good fella!

Wang Shenxu kept the small jade bottle and smiled warmly. "Brother Shen is too kind. How can I accept such a great gift?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Shenxu cupped his fists in return. "I will be honest with you. I am the Great Void Saint, Wang Shenxu. I have heard great things about the Divine Firmament Saint. The stories appear to be all true!"

Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief. He had indeed successfully changed the subject.

I am just too smart!

After an intense evaluation, Shen Tian and Wang Shenxu confirmed each other's identities and took their first steps toward trusting each other.

Of course, the two of them had extremely high EQs and knew what to ask and what not to.

Shen Tian didn't ask how Wang Shenxu had managed to sneak into the Chaotic Star Island domain, even though he was not a human partner to any of the North Sea demon races.

Wang Shenxu also didn't ask Shen Tian if he was the one who had provoked those giant Dragons.

The two of them continued traveling underground in a comfortable and companionable silence.

Shen Tian led Wang Shenxu through hundreds of miles via underground, and they soon reunited with Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu.

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu heaved sighs of relief upon seeing Shen Tian return in one piece.

But they both frowned when they saw another man standing beside Shen Tian, especially Qi Shaoxuan. He stared at Wang Shenxu as he radiated with an extremely aggressive aura. It was as if he was ready to strike at any time.

Meanwhile, the corners of Wang Shenxu's mouth twitched. He looked extremely exasperated.

"Damn, why have you come here too?" You are really so tenacious! It's just a challenge, isn't it?"

"I didn't accept, so why can't you just take it that I concede defeat? Why did you have to chase me all the way to North Sea?"

To be honest, if not for the fact that Wang Shenxu had detected that Qi Shaoxuan had already reached the Nascent Soul stage and his Nascent Soul was rather robust, Wang Shenxu might have fought him then and there.

Crossing the entire Eastern Wilderness and North Sea in pursuit of him—that was just pushing it!

The corners of Qi Shaoxuan's lips twitched. He shot Shen Tian a mild glance.

"Where did you find this fellow?

"The Great Void Saint, Wang Shenxu, is a coward. He did not dare to accept my challenge and fled all the way to North Sea to avoid me.

"Haha, did you think I came to North Sea for you? What a joke!"

As he spoke, he drew back his originally aggressive aura. It was like this person was no longer worth his attention.

The corners of Wang Shenxu's mouth twitched. He was hopping mad.

He tugged at Shen Tian's sleeve with his left hand as he pointed at Qi Shaoxuan with his right.

"Scoundrel, do you really think I am afraid of you? Brother Shen, don't hold me back. I must teach this fellow a lesson today. The people of the Great Void are no weaklings. I can have your head in just 10 moves!"

Qi Shaoxuan shot Wang Shenxu a derisive look. "You are no longer worthy in my eyes. Just a fleeting cloud."

The veins on Wang Shenxu's forehead throbbed with anger. 'This Qi Shaoxuan fellow has such a filthy mouth. He is completely disregarding me. It is unbearable!'

If not for the fact that he had just escaped those Dragons, and already expended a large amount of energy and many years of his lifespan, he would definitely fight him to the death now.

Huff!

Endure, endure!

Don't waste my life just because of one impulsive moment.

Wang Shenxu shot Qi Shaoxuan a meaningful look. "On account of Brother Shen, I won't kick up a fuss."

Qi Shaoxuan sneered at Wang Shenxu. "A fleeting cloud..."

The corners of Wang Shenxu's lips twitched. "Punk, don't you have anything new to say?"

Qi Shaoxuan glanced mildly at Wang Shenxu. After a long time, he drawled lazily. "A passing breeze..."

Shen Tian smiled in resignation as the two guys bickered.

He said, "Brother Qi, don't underestimate Brother Wang. I witnessed his abilities earlier. He is rather powerful. If he goes all out, his battle prowess might even be comparable to yours."

Oh?

Qi Shaoxuan's eyes turned a shade cooler at Shen Tian's words. "Oh? Brother Shen thinks that this fellow's battle prowess might be comparable to mine?"

Hmph!

Qi Shaoxuan's Pure Heavenly Eye burst open.

A towering purple aura swirled around his Heaven's Halberd as he burned like a god of war. He glared steadfastly at Wang Shenxu, his thirst for battle ignited.

"In that case, who is stronger, who is weaker—we will know for sure after we battle!"

There could only be one number one in the world!

Chapter 320: Immortal Thearch's Mystic Art

Qi Shaoxuan stared straight at Wang Shenxu. They were at daggers drawn.

Since ancient times, all prodigies have had their pride.

The reason Qi Shaoxuan was courteous toward Shen Tian was that he had acknowledged his strength.

However, besides Shen Tian, there was no one else Qi Shaoxuan acknowledged! Not even Bodhisattva Kuduo, Fang Chang, or others!

Wang Shenxu dares to speak such absurd words, and Brother Shen is even speaking for him?

That made Qi Shaoxuan's gaze toward Wang Shenxu become increasingly unkind.

He dares to say that he is on par with Brother Shen?

What a joke!

Rich battle intent surged throughout the whole cave.

Wang Shenxu tried to put up a front as he looked at Qi Shaoxuan, but he went weak on the inside.

"What are you planning to do!

"Do-don't think that I'm afraid of you. If I was not worried that our battle might attract those Drakes and Dragons, I'd definitely defeat you!"

Shen Tian smiled and said, "That's alright. I discovered a mystic realm when exploring Dragon God Island, and it's an isolated space. If Brother Wang wants to spar with Brother Qi, we can go there."

Wang Shenxu, "!?"

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

After a long while, Wang Shenxu coughed lightly and said, "Cough, cough... I've consumed much of my vitality when fighting a fierce battle with the dozens of Mighty Prowess Dragons previously.

"I need to enter seclusion for a few days to recover. We'll discuss this when I come out of seclusion!"

After finishing, Wang Shenxu wanted to turn and leave, but Qi Shaoxuan directly stopped him.

Qi Shaoxuan revealed a playful smile. "Brother Wang, where are you planning to go for seclusion? I could help guard you."

Wang Shenxu, "!"

Shen Tian could not help but smile before saying, "Alright! We're all prodigies of the human race, so we should help each other in this mystic realm. Let's not fight amongst us."

As he spoke, Shen Tian looked straight at Wang Shenxu's forehead. "I've heard about the curse of Brother Wang's divine void constitution before.

"Frankly speaking, that mystic realm which I found might be quite beneficial to Brother Wang."

Beneficial to me?

Wang Shenxu looked at Shen Tian in doubt. "What benefit?"

Shen Tian smiled as he packed up their daily necessities.

"Brother Wang will know later."

After the three of them tidied up the items like pots, pans, tables, and chairs, they left the cave under Shen Tian's lead.

Qi Shaoxuan, Wang Shenxu, and Ao Wu could not completely conceal their presence. They would easily attract the Dragons if they were exposed to the outside for too long. Thus, Shen Tian did not waste time.

They took the nearest and fastest route and headed toward the direction of Wang Shenxu's fortuitous opportunity scene at full speed.

Shortly after, Shen Tian brought everyone to the destination.

It was a swamp that was completely black and emitting an extremely disgusting smell.

The swamp's smelly odor almost covered everyone's scent.

There's actually a mystic realm in such a place?

Wang Shenxu's lips twitched slightly.

Just how much of a weirdo must that person be to set the mystic realm here?

And just how miserable must the person who discovered this mystic realm be to stumble upon such a place? It's unbelievable even just thinking about it.

Shen Tian did not know what Wang Shenxu was thinking, or else he might be rendered speechless and blurt out, "That unlucky fellow is you!"

Originally, in the fortuitous opportunity scene, the Dragons would keep pursuing Wang Shenxu, and he would have no other choice but to run to this smelly swamp.

He would jump into the swamp in order to use the swamp's stench to cover his scent and escape.

However, not only would Wang Shenxu unexpectedly discover a mystic realm there, but he would even obtain a certain astonishing fortuitous opportunity.

Frankly speaking, when Shen Tian had seen that scene, he had been so astonished he wanted to exclaim, "This fella should not be called Wang Shenxu, he should be named Wang Wuji[1]!"

However, since I've seen his fortuitous opportunity, I'll get to discover it!

A free favor is always welcome!

"The mystic realm is right under this swamp. Everyone, follow me after activating your barrier."

After that, Shen Tian radiated golden light, and a three-meter defensive barrier formed around him, completely enveloping him. Such a defensive barrier could completely insulate the swamp's stench and protect Shen Tian by preventing him from being attacked when entering the swamp.

After all, no one knew if there might be ferocious beasts in such a smelly swamp filled with Spirit Qi.

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu exchanged looks and formed their own protective barriers before following Shen Tian into the swamp immediately.

As for Ao Wu, he nearly lost sight of them as he had been gathering up his courage for a while.

After the four of them entered the swamp, they felt that their energy consumption increased. Evidently, this was not a simple swamp.

The swamp contained highly toxic energy that could corrode a cultivator's power.

If their energy's purity was not astoundingly high, the swamp's energies might have completely corroded them after a short while.

By then, there might be a few more skeletons within this swamp.

Roar!

At that moment, a roar reverberated throughout the swamp.

A humongous black figure appeared from the swamp's depths, swimming toward them at full speed.

The instant that the black figure appeared, the four of them could clearly sense that the surrounding mud became thicker and more toxic and viscous.

The consumption speed of their energy suddenly increased by a few times.

Qi Shaoxuan frowned. "Not good, this swamp is the Dark Venomous Dragon's lair!"

Although the Dragons on this island did not have high intelligence—they were unable to transform into humans like Ao Wu or learn cultivation techniques—it did not mean they were weak.

On the contrary, these Dragons were extremely powerful as they could control special nomological powers.

The nomological power this Dark Venomous Dragon could control was poison!

In this poisonous swamp, this Dark Venomous Dragon's battle prowess would increase by a few times.

It could be said that this endless swamp was the Dark Venomous Dragon's domain and could cause its enemies to be extremely restricted and weakened.

Roar!

The Dark Venomous Dragon started roaring again. It was like a humongous black lizard that emitted dark green poisonous gas. It was hideous.

However, it was indeed powerful as it could control the swamp to attack Shen Tian and the others from all directions.

This huge swamp instantly surged like the ocean.

Even Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu, two of the strongest Nascent Soul cultivators, were currently in a wretched plight.

There was no other choice as this was a Heavenly Venerable-level Dark Venomous Dragon, and they were even on its home ground.

It could be said that they were basically courting death.

When they saw this Dark Venomous Dragon appear, Shen Tian's face instantly darkened.

What is going on?

Why are you not home when Wang Shenxu comes, but you appear once I bring everyone here?

Why? Are you looking down on me?

Are you purposely targeting me?

Or do you think I'm easier to deal with than Wang Shenxu?

I'll show you today what a Clear Sky Hammer is[2]!

At that thought, Shen Tian did not retreat, but instead, he directly dashed toward that Dark Venomous Dragon.

"Brother Shen, don't be rash! Wait until everyone is here before attacking!"

Wang Shenxu was stunned. He had a conflicted and serious expression on his face while being enveloped by his void energy barrier.

It was all lifespan— what he was consuming was lifespan!

However, what happened next dumbfounded Wang Shenxu.

He witnessed Shen Tian's head emitting all kinds of bright divine light—red, white, yellow, green...

Shen Tian's hair started standing one after another, and he looked extremely mighty!

At the same time, a hammer appeared in Shen Tian's hands.

It was a purple hammer that was surrounded by golden lightning—Mixed Divine Lightning!

Currently, the aura that Shen Tian emitted suffocated Wang Shenxu. That was the oppression in terms of the disparity in strength.

The quality of Shen Tian's current power was too high!

When Shen Tian started to burn throughout his whole body with golden flames, that Dark Venomous Dragon seemed to have sensed danger. It roared vigorously, and endless azure green poisonous gas gathered to form a ball of an extremely weird poisonous bomb.

Boom!

That huge poisonous gas bomb was shot out straight toward Shen Tian.

However, Shen Tian did not reveal any expression of fear at all.

The Feather Immortal Metal suddenly spread out behind him, and golden light shone brightly in that instant.

Shen Tian directly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already only tens of feet away from that Dark Venomous Dragon.

"Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers: Star-Smashing Hammer!"

Lightning flashed on the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer, and the hammer instantly grew larger.

That humongous Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer smashed down with golden light like a falling meteorite.

Boom!

The Dark Venomous Dragon's humongous body was directly knocked 1,000 feet away into the distance, and even its face was hit askew.

Roar!

The Dark Venomous Dragon roared as it tried to forcibly control its body.

Endless poisonous gas surrounded it, trying to disperse those numbing bolts of lightning.

Unexpectedly, just as it dispersed a portion of the lightning and gained control over its body, Shen Tian got closer to it once again.

"Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers: Moon-Lifting Hammer!"

The enormous Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer was held upside down. Shen Tian's body grew larger, and he actually transformed into a giant that was hundreds of feet in height. He swung with all his might and directly gave the Dark Venomous Dragon an upper hook from the bottom to top with his hammer.

In that instant, endless Mixed Divine Lightning surged and traveled throughout the Dark Venomous Dragon's entire body, paralyzing it.

At the same time, a few of its poison fangs shot out of its mouth.

That's right—quite a few teeth had been knocked out!

Duang!

Dong!

Hong!

Peng!

The swamp's mud kept on surging.

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu gazed at each other in astonishment. They could feel that their mouths were unconsciously twitching.

Brutal!

Too brutal!

Thank goodness that Brother Shen is our ally.

If not, such an opponent is simply a nightmare!

Wang Shenxu looked at Qi Shaoxuan with fear in his eyes. "If I am not wrong, then he's still at the Golden Body realm?"

Qi Shaoxuan nodded his head in resignation. "Yes, and this hammer arts is probably not Brother Shen's most powerful technique."

Tsss!

Wang Shenxu took in a sharp breath.

He was estimating in his mind that he would at least need to consume 50 years of his life to be able to wield destructive power.

An ultimate technique that I need to consume lifespan to use, you are actually able to use it as a normal attack?

Is this Divine Firmament Saint still f*cking human!?

Well, it's a good thing that I did not slash Brother Shen with the invisible blade worth 50 years of lifespan.

Thank goodness!

An hour later, the thrashed Dark Venomous Dragon fled in panic. It was filled with injuries all over and looked miserable.

That was still a result of Shen Tian holding back. Otherwise, its head might already be sent flying.

It could only be said that the Dark Venomous Dragon was at too much of a disadvantage as its highly toxic venom that even peak Heavenly Venerables were afraid of was useless against Shen Tian.

The Pure Reincarnation Earth could purify any poison, so the Dark Venomous Dragon's battle prowess was already weakened greatly.

In addition, Shen Tian had the Divine Devouring Vine and Hurricane Lilies, which could allow him to ignore the swamp's restrictions.

To Shen Tian, battling in the swamp or outside didn't make a difference. Thus, he was confident.

"Now, there's nothing else disturbing us from finding fortuitous opportunities." Shen Tian put away his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer and revealed a warm smile. "Everyone follow me!"

Shen Tian continued leading the way.

The two humans and one Dragon gulped down their saliva before hurriedly following Shen Tian.

Without the Dark Venomous Dragon blocking the way, everyone quickly found their target in the depths of the swamp.

That was a huge Black Tortoise stone statue that was thousands of feet long. Its body was deeply buried within the poisonous swamp, only revealing its head.

Its head was shining with spots of black light, and its mouth was open as if it was connected to another space.

Looking at this Black Tortoise statue, Shen Tian revealed a satisfied smile.

My time and effort spent fighting that tiresome battle with the damned Dragon was not wasted. We've finally found this mystic realm!

"Everyone follow me!"

With the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer in hand, Shen Tian brought everyone into the Black Tortoise's mouth and walked about hundreds of feet following the passageway.

Instantly, a bizarre light flashed before their eyes.

When their line of sight returned to normal, they found themselves in a new space.

This space had no boundaries and no end in sight.

A huge floating platform was in the center of this space.

Everyone was currently on this high platform in the air and in the center of this platform. There was also a completely black tablet.

This tablet was around 1,000 feet tall and hundreds of feet long. Countless divine emblems were carved on it, and there were also pictures of a Black Tortoise.

When everyone looked at this tablet, they could only sense immense knowledge surging toward them. It was extremely extraordinary.

A word carved in ancient writing was right in the middle of the tablet—Eternal!

Obviously, this was an extremely outstanding heritage that might not be weaker than the Kun Peng Dao!

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu were still calm, but Wang Shenxu's entire body was already trembling. He stared straight at this tablet with a burning gaze as if he was staring at a naked beauty. His breathing became faster too.

"This is it. This must be it!"

Wang Shenxu murmured, "Black Tortoise as its true body, Eternal as his title...

"That's right! This must be the Eternal Thearch's heritage! This-this is that Eternal Life Sutra!"

Wang Shenxu stared straight at that tablet without even batting his eyes as if he was afraid this tablet might disappear the next second.

Shen Tian smiled upon seeing how excited Wang Shenxu was. He could understand Wang Shenxu's feelings as it was exactly the same as when he had discovered his providence could be improved.

When Shen Tian had just transmigrated and discovered that he was the embodiment of ultimate misfortune, he was much more miserable than Wang Shenxu, who would use up his lifespan to battle.

No matter how Wang Shenxu consumed his lifespan to battle, he could at least leave tens of years.

Meanwhile, if Shen Tian could not change his providence, it would be difficult for him to even live until 18 years old and become an adult.

Therefore, Shen Tian could understand Wang Shenxu's feelings.

That's right, Wang Shenxu's fortuitous opportunity was the special heritage the Eternal Thearch had left behind, the Eternal Life Sutra.

It was said that this peerless mystic art could help one recover their consumed lifespan!

Chapter 321: Eternal Thearch Pat My Head And I'll Be Eternal

The Eternal Thearch was an existence from 100,000 years ago. He was the Black Tortoise race.

Among all the five regions' Thearchs, Eternal Thearch was definitely the most low-key one. His presence was hardly noticed.

How low was it?

When he had officially become a Thearch, he had not told anyone from the five regions. He had not even held a ceremony for himself.

He had randomly picked one of North Sea's islands and slept for 500 years. That was his way of celebrating. Naturally, all North Sea demons and monsters had been shocked.

They had all been prepared to kiss his ass, but he had not shown up in the end!

What else could they say?

However, this did not mean that Eternal Thearch was weak. In fact, he was astoundingly powerful.

He possessed the best Black Tortoise bloodline, and no one had a better defense than him. Even the other Thearchs could hardly break through his defense and harm him.

He would not be strong if defense was all he had. Otherwise, he would just be a foolish tank.

The Eternal Thearch had powerful attack methods too. His Eternal Sword had struck fear to many, including his era's Thearchs.

This was because he could perform a mysterious art called Age Nomological. He could decrease the target's life by sacrificing half of the amount of his own.

This meant that if he was to give up 10,000 years of his life, he could burn away 20,000 years of his opponent's!

After all, the Eternal Thearch was a Black Tortoise!

Nothing could compare to the Black Tortoises in terms of how long they could live, not even the Thearchs.

Although the Eternal Thearch hardly left North Sea, he would chase another Thearch if he was pissed.

Also, according to ancient records, the Eternal Thearch had realized his life was coming to an end when he was close to 10,000 years old. He had regretted being so impulsive when he was young, wasting many years of his life.

Thus, he had spent a few thousand years in seclusion and created an unbelievable mystic art, the Eternal Life Sutra.

Not only could this art increase a cultivator's battle prowess, but it also had a very powerful use—it could replenish the lifespan a cultivator had lost unnaturally.

What did unnatural loss of lifespan mean?

A man supposed to live until 80 years old, and they died when they were 80—this was considered natural death.

However!

If a normal early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was supposed to live until 1,000 years old, they would reach that age as long as they did not make any stupid decision at some point in time.

Let's take for example a cultivator whose talent would only allow them to reach the Golden Core stage. If said cultivator learned a forbidden art to reach the Nascent Soul stage in exchange for 200 years of their life, they could only live until the age of 800.

Another example was Wang Shenxu. He could sacrifice his own lifespan to increase his strength.

If he consumed enough supreme-grade elixirs and pills, he could recover the lost lifespan.

However, the body would develop resistance to all elixirs and pills. The frequent use of elixirs and pills would lose their effectiveness quickly.

That was the reason Wang Shenxu did not dare to take advantage of his mystic art even though he was from the Great Void Sacred Ground.

If he used the Great Void Sutra too frequently, an extremely high-grade pill could only recover a few years of his lifespan eventually. He would be very embarrassed by then.

However, the Eternal Life Sutra was completely different. The Eternal Thearch had tailor-made it for this purpose.

It could transform the normal Spirit Qi in the air into lifeforce and channel it back to the cultivator.

This replenished the lifespan that decreased unnaturally.

However, this mystic art could only recover the lost lifespan, and it could not go beyond the set limit.

For example, no matter how hard a Golden Core cultivator that was supposed to live until the age of 1,000 cultivated the art, they would be unable to increase their lifespan beyond 1,000.

In conclusion, this art was tailor-made for Wang Shenxu.

Similar to the Eternal Thearch's Age Nomological, his divine void constitution and Great Void Sutra could be used in tandem and decrease the opponents' lifespan too.

The Eternal Life Sutra can help me recover all the lifespan I've sacrificed!

Am I dreaming? I've found the Eternal Life Sutra!

All thanks to Brother Shen!

Wang Shenxu was very touched. His eyes were full of tears as he said excitedly, "Brother Shen! Thank you very much! If you need my help in the future, all you need to do is ask. I'll do anything for you!"

Before Wang Shenxu finished his sentence, his halo glowed brighter. There were more purple spots on it.

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu's halos glowed brighter too, but not as intense as Wang Shenxu's.

"You are welcome. We are all Saints from Eastern Wilderness, and we should help one another to build a better Eastern Wilderness together."

Shen Tian felt his body became lighter. He knew that there were more golden spots on his halo now.

He passed two Sea God's Star Tears to Wang Shenxu and said, "Brother Wang, you have just reached the Nascent Soul stage and might not have gotten used to it yet. These Sea God's Star Tears might be useful to you."

Sea God's Star Tears?

Wang Shenxu was stunned.

He was the Great Void Saint, so he knew how good it was.

If the Nirvana Holy Liquid was the treasure that could repair a cultivator's physical body, the Sea God's Star Tear would be the treasure that could replenish soul power.

There are hardly any Sea God's Star Tears in the market in the entire North Sea, and Brother Shen gave me two?

The Sea God's Star Tear is worth even more than a Spirit artifact!

Brother Shen's giving me an imperial sutra and two Sea God's Star Tears on our first meet?

He is so generous!

What have I done to deserve such a gift!?

Wang Shenxu said, "Brother Shen, I cannot keep these! If I'm not wrong, Brother Shen, you are still a Golden Core cultivator. You should keep this treasure for yourself!"

Shen Tian smiled and said, "It's okay. I have another 200 Sea God's Star Tears with me. You can have it. Tell me if you need more."

Wang Shenxu, "!?"

What!?

200?

I have not drunk Five Treasures Tea for a few days, and now I'm having hallucinations?

Qi Shaoxuan sneered at Wang Shenxu. "Surprised by two Sea God's Star Tears? What limited knowledge."

Ao Wu smiled too. "Brother Shenxu, you are welcome. Brother Shen is the real Son of Providence. He led us to an island that had plenty of these Sea God's Star Tears. We have plenty of them with us."

Qi Shaoxuan, "..."

What do you mean by Shen Tian is the real Son of Providence? Who is the fake one!?

Wang Shenxu, "..."

You guys have plenty of this?

Bullsh*t!

Wang Shenxu received the Sea God's Star Tear and swallowed one of them carefully. He used his cultivation technique and refined the Sea God's Star Tear.

A beam of blue light suddenly burst out of him.

"I should take this time to learn the mystic art!"

Shen Tian smiled and also consumed a Sea God's Star Tear.

Although the Sea God's Star Tears would be ineffective to the growth of spiritual power after consuming multiple of them, they were still a very useful supplement when learning mystic arts.

The learning process would be much faster after consuming them.

Only a select few in the entire Chaotic Star Island were rich enough to use such treasure as supplements for learning cultivation techniques.

However, the time saved when learning the Eternal Life Sutra was more important.

It would take a few months or a year to learn the basics of an imperial sutra in normal cases.

However, Shen Tian and his friends were rushing for time. They wanted to finish cultivating the sutra as early as possible so that they could continue to search for new fortuitous opportunities.

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu exchanged a look and took a Sea God's Star Tear each out of their storage rings too.

Wang Shenxu was shocked by how easily the three of them were popping Sea God's Star Tears like candy.

Are these guys for real?

Since when a treasure like the Sea God's Star Tear is so common?

Hallucination, this must be a hallucination!

Wang Shenxu sat down on the empty space in front of the Eternal Tablet. He calmed himself down, focused on the tablet, and started cultivating the mystic art.

Although the sutra was only part of the Eternal Life Sutra, it was still very mysterious.

This was something the Eternal Thearch had come up with in the latter part of his life, and it was as important as any other forbidden chapters.

Someone with weaker talent could not learn anything out of it.

Of course, Wang Shenxu was talented.

What was more important, his body was frail, so he wanted to learn this mystic art badly.

Wang Shenxu focused his mind on the Eternal Tablet.

The words and pictures on the tablet slowly disappeared, and a giant Black Tortoise appeared. It was breathing in a unique pattern in front of Wang Shenxu.

Huff!

Whoo!

Huff!

Whoo!

Wang Shenxu could see plenty of Spirit Qi gushing into the Black Tortoise's body as it continued breathing.

The Black Tortoise's body was transparent, and he could see how Spirit Qi was moving inside it. As more Spirit Qi entered, Wang Shenxu could feel that the Black Tortoise's origin was much stronger now.

Wang Shenxu was very sensitive to the increase in origin—it was directly linked to a living organism's lifespan!

One could live until their designated timing with a stronger origin!

Wang Shenxu was very familiar with wasting too much of origin and the concept of unnatural death.

"This... This is the thing I've been looking for!"

Wang Shenxu's voice was shaking. He bowed at the tablet and said, "I'm Wang Shenxu, the Great Void Saint. Thank you, Eternal Thearch!"

Wang Shenxu then lowered his body onto the ground and followed the Black Tortoise's breathing rhythm.

Wang Shenxu indeed lived up to his Great Void Saint title.

After consuming the Sea God's Star Tear and learning for half a day, he understood the Eternal Life Sutra's basics.

Huff!

Whoo!

Huff!

Whoo!

Wang Shenxu ignored Qi Shaoxuan, ignored Ao Wu, and...

He did not ignore Shen Tian.

He was the reason he could learn this sutra right now.

Wang Shenxu emptied his mind of all disturbances and started cultivating the Eternal Life Sutra.

As time passed, more Spirit Qi was gathered around Wang Shenxu. The Spirit Qi entered his body and went through a mysterious path.

Soon, Wang Shenxu's body emitted light spots.

These spots slowly formed a picture of a tortoise and engulfed Wang Shenxu. An avatar appeared as well.

It was a gigantic Black Tortoise that was a few thousand feet long.

There was a much smaller tortoise in front of this giant tortoise.

The bigger one extended its right foot and patted the smaller one's head.

The small black tortoise was very humble and had its head lowered.

It was like a sincere disciple who wished to learn from their master.

Wang Shenxu stayed on the ground and felt the changes happening to his body. He was delighted. He could feel that his understanding of the Eternal Life Sutra was increasing, and his lifespan was indeed increasing.

Wang Shenxu absorbed Spirit Qi and refined it, transforming it to the origin of his life.

Wang Shenxu felt that his body was not as weak as before.

Although that might be his imagination, his lifespan was indeed increasing.

"Eternal Thearch pat my head, and I'll be eternal!"

Wang Shenxu was indulged in the learning process.

On the other hand, Qi Shaoxuan was having a lot of trouble. He felt that the stance one had to take to cultivate the Eternal Life Sutra was too unsightly.

As a proud Saint, there was no way he was going to mimic a tortoise.

"Seems like I'm not fated with this mystic art."

Qi Shaoxuan was helpless. He disliked this cultivation technique despite understanding something from the tablet too. Thus, Qi Shaoxuan was not as proficient in the Eternal Life Sutra as Wang Shenxu.

After 10 days, Wang Shenxu opened his eyes slowly.

Seclusion was indeed a time-consuming process for cultivators.

If the mystic arts were harder to understand, they could spend an entire year.

Some could even spend a century.

"I've been learning the Eternal Life Sutra for ten days and have recovered three years of my lifespan. It should be faster if I master the sutra."

Wang Shenxu was delighted to feel the difference in his body.

He turned around and looked at Qi Shaoxuan. He was glad to see Qi Shaoxuan was not making any progress.

"Mr. Qi, aren't you Eastern Wilderness' top cultivator? Why are you staring at blank space? Haha, you cannot learn this art too?"

Qi Shaoxuan's mouth twitched before he scoffed. "I do not need to sacrifice my lifespan to beat my opponent. Why should I learn this cultivation technique? You think you really learn something from it? All you've been doing is laying on the ground like a retard!"

Before Qi Shaoxuan could finish his sentence, Wang Shenxu's aura burst out of a sudden.

Blue energy was burning around him, and he seemed to merge with the void.

"You always wanted to fight me, right?

"I didn't have a choice back then...

"But now I'll kick your ass!"

Wang Shenxu felt that he was a new man now.

He would make the Great Void Sacred Ground proud again!

Chapter 322: The Wrong Timing To Wake Up

Wang Shenxu was never this confident before.

Although he possessed the divine void constitution, Wang Shenxu had been low-key for too long.

He considered himself the most powerful cultivator in Eastern Wilderness, but he could not prove his ability.

Who could understand Wang Shenxu's pain and grievances?

All the talented cultivators had their own pride!

None of them liked it when the others were stronger than them, and yet they could not prove themselves!

None!

Wang Shenxu could live the life he wanted if his lifespan was not restricting him.

Do you really think his four Junior Sisters encouraged Wang Shenxu to take up the fight because they wanted him to die?

Of course not! That was not the entire reason!

They had grown up with Wang Shenxu since young. They were aware he had not been happy for the past few years.

The reason his Junior Sisters had wanted him to fight seriously was to allow him to enjoy the battle to the fullest and be freed from his curse.

Wang Shenxu had fled from Eastern Wilderness and headed to North Sea because he was afraid of death?

Of course not! As the Great Void Saint, no one could force him to make any decision.

He had fled because he was worried that he could not control himself before Qi Shaoxuan and might go all out against him at the cost of his own lifespan!

It was not an easy decision.

He had been holding back for too long, and now was the time to release his pent-up anger.

He had finally obtained the Eternal Life Sutra, and his lifespan was not much of an issue right now.

The negative feelings he had accumulated during the past few decades were about to erupt!

In this mystic realm, Shen Tian had been very good to Wang Shenxu. He had given him treasures and shared the mystic art out of kindness.

Wang Shenxu was indebted to Shen Tian, and he was aware of it. Anyway, he was confident that he would end up losing badly if he chose to battle with Shen Tian.

As for Ao Wu, he was just a little kid. He was kind of cute and not even at the Nirvana stage yet.

Wang Shenxu felt that it would be like bullying a child if he picked on him.

Thus, Qi Shaoxuan was the only one left.

Honestly speaking, Wang Shenxu had been pissed with Qi Shaoxuan for a very long time.

The three human prodigies were considered to be Eastern Wilderness' top cultivators. He agreed that the Golden Core List reflected Bodhisattva Kuduo's (2nd) and Fang Chang's (3rd) true abilities.

However, he had not been happy that he was only ranked fourth! He believed he was stronger than Qi Shaoxuan.

The only reason he could not show off his skills was his cursed divine void constitution. He would decrease his lifespan if he used the Great Void Imperial Sutra.

Now that the problem was solved, Wang Shenxu wanted to take the number one spot.

"Qi Shaoxuan, I have been pissed with you for a long time! Come, let's have a fight!"

Wang Shenxu's body was covered in silver light in a blink of an eye before he merged with the void. This was one of the Great Void Imperial Sutra's mystic techniques.

He could fend off 90% of an opponent's attack with this technique and would be nearly invincible!

He looked at Qi Shaoxuan from a distance and made a hand seal. "Great Void Sword Formation, begin!"

The void became chaotic.

The void's power formed countless swords, which then gathered around Wang Shenxu. He pointed at Qi Shaoxuan, and the swords flew at their target.

"You think you can beat me?" Qi Shaoxuan sneered.

He could feel the sword formation was rather strong. But so what?

He had not been defeated once in Eastern Wilderness, and he had absolute confidence in himself.

Just like what Shen Tian had said before, he would not lose to anyone that he had defeated before!

He was not going to give up the first place to anyone!

"Pure Heavenly Eye!"

The Pure Heavenly Eye between his brows opened slowly.

Qi Shaoxuan held on to his Heaven's Halberd, and the void swords became visible to him.

The most dangerous part of the void swords was their invisibility, making it hard to defend against them. It was one of the most dangerous attack methods.

However, Qi Shaoxuan had the Pure Heavenly Eye and could see the swords directly. Not only that, but he could even predict those swords' trajectories.

"Eight Wildernesses Halberd!"

The purple aura behind him formed into many dragons, and he sent thousands of attacks with a simple wave of his halberd.

Qi Shaoxuan successfully blocked all the void swords—not a single one was missed!

Although this attack did not cost as much as 50 years of Wang Shenxu's life, the attack was still powerful and consumed his lifespan.

Wang Shenxu's dark circles became darker, while Qi Shaoxuan... began to sweat!

He was the Purple Mansion Saint, Eastern Wilderness' number one cultivator! And yet, he was at a disadvantage when fighting Wang Shenxu!

This fellow is really powerful when he attacks with the cost of his lifespan!

Qi Shaoxuan had to admit that Shen Tian was right. Wang Shenxu was no weaker than him at the current stage.

To some extent, Wang Shenxu was even stronger.

Until now, Qi Shaoxuan was on the defensive side. He could only passively block the void swords and not make any offensive moves.

Although Wang Shenxu could not break through Qi Shaoxuan's defenses, the latter was still ashamed by it!

"I have to admit that you are powerful. You can have a fair battle with me." Qi Shaoxuan's eyes lit up. "However, a mere sword formation is not enough to beat me!"

Qi Shaoxuan's purple aura surged as he activated his Purple Aura River Mountain.

Although the void swords countered it swiftly, Qi Shaoxuan just needed that short window to make a counterattack.

"Dragon Crowd!"

Qi Shaoxuan and his weapon turned into a purple dragon with a pair of purple wings on his back.

That was part of Peng Dao's power, and Qi Shaoxuan had applied it into his Eight Wildernesses Halberd to increase the attack power.

Boom!

Qi Shaoxuan's body dashed through the void in the blink of an eye.

A third eye appeared on the purple dragon, and a beam of light shot out of it.

Purple Eye Beam of Destruction!

The void collapsed and emitted a frightening aura while the purple dragon roared and leaped at an empty space.

"I've found you! Admit defeat!"

Roar!

The purple dragon roared and the void shattered.

Wang Shenxu appeared from the void, his eyes full of surprise. He did not expect Qi Shaoxuan was actually so strong.

However, he was not afraid at all. He scoffed. "If that's all you've got, you are far from victory!"

Suddenly, his black hair began to turn white, and his dark circles became ever darker.

Wang Shenxu opened up his hand and chanted.

"Feel the void! Accept the void! Understand the void!

"Everything begins with the void, and they will return to the void. Listen to its voice and embrace its power.

"Forbidden Art, Void Funeral Send-Off!"

Rumble!

The void cracked further as a void vortex suddenly formed in the void.

The void vortex's gravitational force was so strong it started pulling everything toward it. Even the purple aura could not escape. It was absorbed by the void vortex and disappeared.

Qi Shaoxuan was stunned and had a foreboding feeling. Were he to be pulled inside, there was no way he could survive that!

Although Qi Shaoxuan had never been sucked into a void vortex before, he knew that he had to run away from it.

Wang Shenxu was very proud now.

"Qi Shaoxuan! Beg for mercy!

"This Void Funeral Send-Off is the strongest art among the Great Void Imperial Sutra's forbidden chapters! It has defeated a Thearch before! Even if you are as strong as a Thearch, there is nothing you can do about it!"

Wang Shenxu was currently exhilarated.

Number one in the Golden Core List? Qi Shaoxuan? Who is the winner now?

That feels so good!

Although I've sacrificed hundreds of years of my lifespan, so what? I will just enter seclusion for a year!

I really need to enjoy this moment!

"Beg me! If I'm pleased, I'll spare your life!" Wang Shenxu put his hands on his hips and looked at Qi Shanxuan. "Be fast, before the void vortex goes out of control."

Qi Shaoxuan replied firmly, "In your dreams!"

There is no way I'll admit defeat!

He took a deep breath, and his body was covered in purple flame. He started to sacrifice his life too.

Getting power from decreasing lifespan?

I can do that too! Let's see who the last one standing will be!

The Heaven's Halberd became much larger, and he stabbed it right into the void vortex.

Rumble!

An enormous amount of energy was transferred into the void vortex!

The void vortex expanded out of a sudden and emitted a strong blast.

Wang Shenxu and Qi Shaoxuan bore the brunt and were hurt badly.

"Purple Aura River Mountain! Form!"

Wang Shenxu panicked too and formed layers of armor with his silver aura.

Rumble!

The unstable void vortex changed again and started to spin slowly.

Actually, it was not spinning slowly. It was just an optical illusion. It was actually spinning at breakneck speed. The vortex was absorbing everything into it!

Everyone on the platform felt the void vortex's gravitational force pulling them.

"Brother Shenxu, please make it stop!"

Ao Wu grabbed onto the tablet tightly, his face full of fear.

Although he possessed the purest Black Dragon bloodline, he was still too young. He was the weakest member of the party and could not hold on any longer.

Wang Shenxu did not look too good himself either. His already pitch-black circles darkened, and his hair turned whiter.

His mouth twitched. "I've used too much lifespan! This is the first time I use this technique. Qi Shaoxuan has damaged the void vortex, and it is now beyond my control—"

Swoosh!

Before Wang Shenxu could finish, Ao Wu's hands slipped off the tablet, and his body flew toward the vortex.

"Brother Shen! Brother Shaoxuan! Brother Shenxu! Help!!"

Ao Wu's body was rolling in mid-air, and the fear of death struck him.

Qi Shaoxuan quickly formed a hand with his purple aura and grabbed Ao Wu. However, the vortex's suction power was too strong, and the aura was depleting quickly.

Qi Shaoxuan snarled, "Oii! You made this thing, and you are responsible for shutting it down! Or else we are all going to die!"

Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian from the corner of his eyes. He was still sitting beside the stone tablet without moving an inch.

Even the void vortex is not a threat to Brother Shen!

Brother Shen is so calm in such an emergency!

Truth be told, Shen Tian was still indulging in his enlightenment and was not aware of what was happening around him.

Jade-colored vines were growing on him, and white flowers were blooming on them.

When these flowers appeared, Shen Tian seemed to merge with the void. He just let the void around him collapse without moving an eyebrow!

Brother Shen is indeed strong!

But you have to wake up now!

We need your help! Or we are all going to die!

The vortex was still growing in size. According to Wang Shenxu, the vortex would continue to grow until there was nothing within a certain radius.

Then, everything would become void again.

The problem was, they could not last until then!

"I cannot let the vortex grow any more! I'll do something about it!"

Wang Shenxu had made up his mind.

Since he had created this void vortex, he had to solve the problem—even if it would cost his life!

"I didn't think I would end my life this way. Maybe it is my fate..."

Wang Shenxu's hair became much whiter, and his dark circles spread while his aura got more powerful. Even Qi Shaoxuan was shocked by it.

He has so much power?

Is he trying to sacrifice himself to save Ao Wu and me?

Qi Shaoxuan suddenly had mixed feelings.

Then, the handsome man sitting by the stone tablet slowly opened his eyes.

Upon seeing that his friends were in a predicament, Shen Tian quickly got up.

"Guys, relax. I'm coming!"

Wang Shenxu, "!?"

Chapter 323: My Life Is Nearly Spent, I Can't Endure Anymore

"Brother Shen, don't move. Let me do this!

"This is just a void vortex. I can settle this with a single finger!"

Wang Shenxu exuded a powerful aura, but he did not look imposing at all.

In contrast, he looked like he had just eaten something very bitter.

I have already burned a sizable chunk of my lifespan, just waiting for that one final push to turn the tide. Now, you tell me that Shen Tian has woken up? Doesn't this mean I have burned all those years of my life for nothing?

It was really the wrong timing to wake up!

Wang Shenxu's face was full of angry despair. He stared into the void vortex.

I will fight you to the death!

Wang Shenxu was enveloped in a silver glow as the powerful void energy surged into the void vortex.

As more and more void energy surged into the void vortex, the vortex slowed down, and its suction power also became weaker.

Although it still radiated with an all-engulfing power, its threat to the team had lessened significantly.

Wang Shenxu finally heaved a sigh of relief. At least, he didn't shorten his own lifespan for nothing.

Wait a minute!

Wang Shenxu's face suddenly stiffened. He had suddenly realized that his expended lifespan was not enough.

The void vortex had absorbed too much energy, and suppressing it was way harder than Wang Shenxu imagined.

Wang Shenxu's divine void constitution was a cursed constitution. He had been losing years of his life, more or less, from the day he was born.

Even if he successfully broke through to the Soul Formation stage, Wang Shenxu's lifespan would not increase by much. Before all this, he had about 500 years of life left.

However, he had escaped the giant Dragons' murderous pursuit, launched an invisible blade technique to chop off the wing of a Wind Lord Wyvern, as well as the Void Funeral Send-Off technique when fighting against Qi Shaoxuan.

Wang Shenxu had already expended a large portion of his lifespan on those antics.

Faced with this void vortex, Wang Shenxu had already burned about 90% of his remaining 200 years. His hair had already turned white.

Even so, he could only forcefully suppress the power of the void vortex to a minimum. He could not completely annihilate it.

Wang Shenxu made a rough estimation. If he wanted to completely destroy the void vortex, he would have to burn at least another 50 years of his life.

The thing was, he no longer had 50 years to spare.

This was no joke!

Although Wang Shenxu had cried out, "I will burn my own life to control the void", it had just been a slogan.

After obtaining the Eternal Life Sutra, as long as Wang Shenxu didn't burn off his entire lifespan, he could slowly recuperate in the future.

But the caveat was that he couldn't fully expend his entire lifespan. There wouldn't be anything left to save if he did.

He still had a lot to live for. Who would be willing to sacrifice his own life?

But I have already made such a bold declaration!

I even told Brother Shen not to interfere. And now I have to beg for his help?

So embarrassing!

Wang Shenxu gradually sank down into a deep dilemma. What a headache!

As the void energy Wang Shenxu radiated became weaker, the recovering void vortex suddenly appeared to be incensed. It started to retaliate.

Rumble!

It was like a terminal lucidity!

At that moment, the void vortex cracked and radiated with a suction power that was even more powerful than before.

Wang Shenxu was undoubtedly the void vortex's target. He was instantly tugged toward the vortex.

"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn. How did I lose control?

"Brother Qi, Brother Shen, Brother Au, lend me a hand. Pull me back!"

Shen Tian and the other two couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat as they watched Wang Shenxu being dragged into the vortex.

Didn't he say he could handle this with just one finger?

This Great Void Saint is such a dullard!

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. His Feather Immortal Metal wings spread out behind him.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Tian disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of Wang Shenxu.

He grabbed Wang Shenxu's shoulder with his right hand and tossed him out of the radius of the vortex.

"Brother Shen, no!"

Wang Shenxu's eyes filled with hot tears as he watched Shen Tian being sucked into the void vortex.

Did Brother Shen just sacrifice his life to save me?

I am no great man. But Brother Shen found me worthy enough to save?

Brother Shen, how can I ever repay your kindness?

Just as Wang Shenxu was feeling very touched, Shen Tian erupted with a dazzling green light.

Jade-green vines with Hurricane Lilies sprouted out about him.

The moment those Hurricane Lilies bloomed, Shen Tian instantly stopped being sucked in.

He then reached out with his right hand.

A long jade-green vine made a slash in the void vortex and reached in before spreading rapidly all over.

As the vine spread, those white Hurricane Lilies all went into full bloom.

The void vortex appeared to be bound, and its already slowed-down swirling now came to a complete stop.

Following that, more and more vines emerged. The black pinpoint center of the void vortex also became increasingly smaller. It soon disappeared into nothing.

Peace and calm finally resumed. The void's all-engulfing power had also completely vanished.

Qi Shaoxuan, Wang Shenxu, and Ao Wu heaved a sigh of relief, especially Wang Shenxu. His face was a mixture of high relief and bitter grudging.

He nearly lost his life and still didn't manage to save the day.

How bitter my life is!

Meanwhile, Qi Shaoxuan was mainly shocked. He had experienced firsthand the power of the void vortex.

Although Wang Shenxu had expended his life to reduce its power by about half, it remained a tricky challenge.

But in front of Shen Tian, the void vortex was as weak as a lump of flour.

A couple of simple moves and the void vortex was completely subdued.

Shen Tian's abilities were truly astonishing!

As for Ao Wu, he was gazing at Shen Tian with intense adoration.

He clapped his plump little hands. "Brother Shen, you are indeed powerful! You were able to disperse this void vortex with whips. No wonder Grand-Aunt was willing to sign a contract with you!"

Shen Tian, "???"

How are these two matters linked?

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu exchanged glances. They felt their faces growing a little warm.

They had just been battling so ferociously, but in the end, Shen Tian had to save them when things got tricky. So embarrassing!

Ahem, how to change the subject in a subtle way?

Help!

Qi Shaoxuan's three eyes suddenly swiveled. "Ahem, Brother Shen spent a long time cultivating in front of the Black Tortoise Stone Tablet. I wonder if you gained any insights?"

At that, Wang Shenxu and Ao Wu also looked very curious.

After all, a normal cultivation session was not that absorbing. Only those who were immersed in a very deep cultivation state would be oblivious to everything around them.

This also meant that he had obtained some great epiphany. So great that he was completely engrossed in it and couldn't pull himself out.

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu were both very curious. What sort of epiphany could make Shen Tian so immersed?

It must not be your normal legacy.

Shen Tian smiled at their curious expressions. "Nothing much. Just a technique to replenish one's life energy, as well as a sword technique."

Wang Shenxu nodded. Given Shen Tian's talent, it was perfectly normal for him to be able to understand the Eternal Life Sutra. Also—

Wait! 'As well as a sword technique'!?

Don't tell me it was the Eternal Thearch's premier technique, the Eternal Sword?

Why didn't I get that at all?

Ao Wu gazed at Shen Tian. "What sword technique? Brother Shen, can you show us a couple of moves?"

Show them a couple of moves?

Shen Tian was taken aback. He then smiled at Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu. "Alright. Are Brother Qi and Brother Wang willing to spar with me so that I can demonstrate it?"

Wang Shenxu's white hair stood on end, and his dark eyes circles seemed to glow.

He shuddered. "Ahem, I think Brother Qi is better for the job! My life is nearly spent. Sparring is a young man's game. I cannot endure it now."

With that, Wang Shenxu hurried to the side and sat down. He copied the Black Tortoise statue's pose and started to circulate Spirit Qi around his body.

His heart ached dearly!

He had lost several hundred years of his life because of that earlier incident and had no idea when he would be able to gain them back.

But... this pose... was indeed rather embarrassing!

Qi Shaoxuan showed no signs of fear or hesitation. He looked at Shen Tian with sparkling eyes. "If Brother Shen doesn't mind, I am willing to let you try your new moves on me."

Shen Tian nodded with a smile. His Jade Water Sword suddenly appeared in his hands.

Its jade-green light was like sparkling, flowing spring water. It was clearly a good sword.

Of course, to someone as elite as Qi Shaoxuan, this Jade Water Sword was just a common item.

It was the person holding the sword who was making Qi Shaoxuan so eager. Even a piece of grass or stick of wood could become a sword in that person's hands.

Qi Shaoxuan would never forget that night on Saint Mountain, that divine, deity-like sword intent. He had been constantly haunted by that since then.

And Shen Tian had gained yet another sword technique from this Black Tortoise Stone Tablet. Qi Shaoxuan was clearly very perturbed by that.

"Purple Aura River Mountain! Form!"

Qi Shaoxuan ingested some elixir to refine and activate his Purple Aura River Mountain as if facing off a great enemy.

The purple aura swirled around his body like a great, protective armor.

At the same time, Qi Shaoxuan's Heavenly Eye glowed as it remained fixed on Shen Tian, hoping to spot some flaw.

But there were no flaws!

An endless sword avatar appeared behind Shen Tian, and beams of divine light shot out of the avatars' sides.

Due to his Divine Sword Constitution and Flying Sword Intent, Shen Tian could basically master any sword technique, even of the most advanced levels. The form may vary, but the principle remained the same.

Shen Tian stood there with his sword, his handsome face glowing under the light. He looked extraordinarily dashing and mighty.

Even Qi Shaoxuan couldn't help feeling somewhat inferior when faced with this image of Shen Tian.

"Brother Shen, make your move!"

With his Heaven's Halberd in hand, Qi Shaoxuan faced Shen Tian with eager anticipation.

Shen Tian raised his Jade Water Sword and slashed it in Qi Shaoxuan's direction.

The movement wasn't fast. In fact, it was slow to the extreme. Such that even a three-year-old kid could dodge it easily.

However, Qi Shaoxuan's face shifted the moment the sword came down. He could already feel the extraordinary powers of that single sword movement.

It was already at the most advanced realm, in contact with the forbidden domain of time. It was a supreme-level technique.

Shen Tian's control of this sword technique was not yet perfect.

Even so, Qi Shaoxuan could feel extreme pressure from that one move.

Clang!

The clang of the sword was like a dragon bursting out of the ocean—the sword light like the first rays of the sun at dawn.

At that moment, a startling sword light seemed to penetrate through space and slice through time.

The Purple Aura River Mountain surged but was useless against it. The Heavenly Eye dazzled like electricity but could not catch hold of the move.

Clang!

The Jade Water Sword was returned to its scabbard. Shen Tian folded his arms behind his back and smiled.

"This is called the Eternal Sword."

Chapter 324: A Terrifying Thought!

The Jade Water Sword had already been sheathed as Shen Tian stood there like a heavenly immortal.

However, Qi Shaoxuan frowned, his eyes filled with astonishment and solemnity. He discovered that a portion of his life essence had been shaved away, or it could be said that his lifespan had been reduced.

Although the lost life essence was not much—at most 30 to 50 years of lifespan—and it could be restored, there was more to it.

Shen Tian's strike just now involved an extremely profound nomological realm, so Qi Shaoxuan's defense was almost useless. It was extremely strange.

If Shen Tian could release such a slash, he could do it again 10 times or even 100 times.

If so, then wouldn't he be able to wipe out Qi Shaoxuan's whole lifespan?

Not to mention, Qi Shaoxuan did not believe that the strike just now was Shen Tian's limit.

Although the time he had spent with Shen Tian was short, Qi Shaoxuan knew very clearly that Shen Tian was a true gentleman who kept an extremely low profile and was humble.

Brother Shen would never be overbearingly aggressive, so he must have held back just now. Otherwise, I would not have lost only 30 to 50 years of my lifespan.

He should be able to easily reduce one's lifespan by hundreds of years with one strike and even be able to turn one's hair grey.

At that thought, Qi Shaoxuan exclaimed wholeheartedly, "As expected of you!

"Brother Shen's sword technique is pure and flawless, showing no trace of effort. You're like an ethereal sword deity who has descended onto the earth.

"It even contains the laws of life. It can actually shave away the enemies' life essence and reduce one's lifespan greatly. It's really mysterious."

As he spoke, Qi Shaoxuan looked toward the Black Tortoise Stone Tablet at the side silently and felt that he ought to study the tablet more.

Although the appearance of this mystic art was just so so, it was quite useful. Thus, it was worth learning.

At least, he would be able to receive a few of Brother Shen's blows in the future.

At that moment, Wang Shenxu's tragic scream resounded.

"F*ck! Why did my lifespan decrease again?"

Everyone turned to look at him. They saw that Wang Shenxu's hair was as white as snow, and he had deep dark circles, his eyes dull and lifeless.

More importantly, Wang Shenxu was starting to stink. Ao Wu, who originally stood beside him, kept on pinching his nose.

"It's the Heavenly Decay!" Qi Shaoxuan's mouth twitched. "There's little of this guy's lifespan left. He's about to die."

The so-called Heavenly Decay meant that a cultivator would naturally emit "death aura" that was conflicting with the "life aura" when the cultivator was about to reach the end of their lifespan.

At the same time, its body would emit a disgusting stench that would become smellier the nearer the person was to death.

Wang Shenxu was on the brink of tears. "I've already left 40 years of lifespan for myself, so why would I be experiencing Heavenly Decay now!?"

That's right, that must be it!

Wang Shenxu's mouth twitched. He seemed to have felt that his life essence had been shaved off by quite a bit.

Is it possible that the sword aura from Brother Shen's strike just now accidentally hit me too?

At that thought, Wang Shenxu could not help but look at Shen Tian in resentment.

I only got a few dozen more years to live, but Brother Shen, you still slashed me... You're going too far!

Shen Tian's EQ was high, so he understood the sorrow and grievance from Wang Shenxu's eyes.

Shen Tian took out another bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid and gave it to Wang Shenxu before saying, "It's the first time I've used the Eternal Sword Art, so I'm not familiar with it yet.

"Brother Wang has lost too much lifespan. Dragon God Island is full of dangers, so recover some vitality first!"

Wang Shenxu's proficiency in the Eternal Life Sutra was still low, so he could only recover three years of lifespan after 10 days of seclusion. Thirty years would take more than three months.

If they were really to wait for Wang Shenxu to learn the Black Tortoise breathing technique and restore hundreds of years of lifespan, Shen Tian would most likely even be able to form his Nascent Soul within that time.

Thus, Shen Tian could only let Wang Shenxu drink Nirvana Liquid to cope for a few days first.

"Brother Shen is indeed generous. I owe you a huge favor and will definitely repay Brother Shen greatly in the future."

Wang Shenxu did not refuse as he was already about to die. He needed to continue restoring his life essence, or else he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Since there were too many dangers in Chaotic Star Island, only the Great Void Sutra was Wang Shenxu's biggest life-saving resort.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!

Wang Shenxu gulped down the five liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid, and his whole body instantly shone with green light, especially his forehead. The green light soared into the sky.

In that instant, the green light blinded everyone's eyes.

That was the purest life essence energy and was extremely effective to Wang Shenxu recovering his lifespan.

It could help him restore many years of lifespan, especially since he did not have any elixir resistance to it the first time drinking it.

Wang Shenxu sat down with his legs crossed and started to absorb the Nirvana Holy Liquid's energy by circulating his cultivation technique at full speed.

While Wang Shenxu was absorbing the energy, Qi Shaoxuan took the chance to secretly run toward the Black Tortoise Tablet and sat down. He then started scanning the Black Tortoise Tablet.

Well, I only said that its postures were ugly. I did not say I wouldn't learn it.

No one would forsake a mystic art that could restore their life essence. At most, one could hide in their room when cultivating it.

Time passed by minutes and seconds, the green light emitted by Wang Shenxu dimmed until it completely disappeared.

"The five liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid could barely help me recover 50 years of lifespan, but this is only the effect of the first time."

Wang Shenxu looked at the remaining Nirvana Holy Liquid in the bottle, but he did not plan on drinking it anymore.

That was because he could sense the Nirvana Holy Liquid's effect was decreasing, just like those precious medicines he had drunk in the past—their effects declined the more that he drank.

It was better to save the remaining Nirvana Holy Liquid for possible needs in the future!

If he really wanted to restore his lifespan, he still had to learn the Black Tortoise postures.

Once this Chaotic Star Island trial ended, he could immediately return to the Great Void Sacred Ground and enter complete seclusion. He would not come out until he had obtained greater mastery of the Eternal Life Sutra.

Well, he had to restore his lifespan completely too.

Then, he would have "mana" that he could consume in the future.

He decided that he would find Qi Shaoxuan to battle once he became proficient in the Void Funeral Send-Off!

He also wanted to fight for the title of being the strongest prodigy!

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu were having their own thoughts, but Shen Tian was staring at Qi Shaoxuan's head and calculating the time.

They had already stayed for over 10 days in the Black Tortoise mystic realm, so only a few days were left for Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu's fortuitous opportunity to appear.

Logically speaking, the Dragons should have left already right!

Well, just in case, Shen Tian decided to go out to take a look first.

"Everyone, please stay here and rest for a few days while I go out to check the situation."

After informing Qi Shaoxuan and the others, Shen Tian concealed his presence and flew out of the Black Tortoise mystic realm himself.

Once he was out of the mystic realm, Shen Tian's mouth twitched instantly.

He had suddenly discovered that numerous Dragons were wandering around the Dark Venomous Dragon's swamp. It was obvious that they were not there by chance.

Why would they wander to such a place?

The Dark Venomous Dragon that Shen Tian had thrashed was also amongst those Dragons.

It was now looking at its swamp with bitterness and fear.

Damned human! Not only did he steal the treasures of so many Dragons and Drakes, but he even dared to forcibly occupy my warm and comfortable swamp!

He even beat me up until my teeth were knocked out.

My beautiful fangs are gone, they're gone!

The Dark Venomous Dragon became angrier the more it thought about it, and as it continued thinking, it became even more enraged. It could not resist but roar toward the sky.

However, just as it started to roar, it instantly turned into a whimper—it saw that man!

A brilliant golden figure appeared before the Dark Venomous Dragon. Shen Tian did not hide or conceal his aura at all, so he shone brightly like the sun.

"Woo! Woooo! Woooooo!"

The Dark Venomous Dragon jumped with fright and ran away toward the opposite direction at full speed.

It was as if it was afraid of being beaten up again if it was too slow in escaping.

How about a Dragon's pride?

It's non-existent! It did not want to be beaten into a dragon meatball.

The reason Shen Tian did not conceal his presence anymore was to lead those Dragons away.

Naturally, Shen Tian could escape easily, but Qi Shaoxuan and the others would be screwed.

Even in his prime condition, Qi Shaoxuan might not be able to escape if so many Dragons surrounded him.

Not to mention Ao Wu and Wang Shenxu, the former was just a baby Dragon that had yet to even reach the Nirvana stage, so how could they fight with Heavenly Venerable-level Dragons?

Also, Wang Shenxu was so weak his legs would give way when walking, not to mention battling.

If those Dragons really surrounded him, Wang Shenxu would only have two choices—die of old age or be killed.

"Sigh... It's all for your sake."

On the one hand, was his concern for his sheep, and on the other hand, was his care for them. It was just like fatherly love.

In the end, Shen Tian decided to risk his life to lure those Dragons away personally, though it was not that life-threatening.

Shen Tian took treasures out of his storage ring one after the other, and they floated in the air, emitting a unique aura.

Shen Tian could instantly sense wild and blazing hot gazes on him.

Those looks were full of aggressiveness; those were primitive desires.

Shen Tian knew that those Dragons wanted to tear him apart and take back their treasures.

"Hehehe, come and bite me if you can!"

He then stored all the treasures into his storage ring, and his pair of divine golden wings spread behind him.

Huff!

The Kun Peng avatar appeared behind Shen Tian, and with a flap of his golden divine wings, Shen Tian instantly disappeared into thin air.

Shen Tian left behind a ray of golden light as he flew hundreds of thousands of miles away in that instant. He was so fast that he practically could not be seen clearly.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

Woo!

Upon seeing that despicable human taunting them, those Dragons couldn't resist!

All kinds of Dragons roared toward the sky and chased Shen Tian.

There was no lack of peak Soul Formation-level Dragons, and their speed was even comparable to Shen Tian. Since Shen Tian was just a weak Golden Body cultivator, the difference in cultivation levels was just too obvious.

Fortunately, Shen Tian's advantages were also very obvious—he had almost no flaws. He had all travel methods: the sea, the land, the sky, and underground.

You wanna surround me in the sky? Then I'll run on the ground! At worst, I can just go underground!

Once I conceal my presence, no one can find me!

Shen Tian was that ruthless and shameless!

Such a crazy chase continued for three days. Not only were the Dragons unable to threaten Shen Tian at all, but he also stole their treasures during the chaos.

In the end, all Dragons were forced to cease chasing him and return to their lairs. They were unable to catch Shen Tian, nor would they be able to beat him in fighting. In addition, he was able to turn "invisible" at any time.

So how could they hunt him down?

It was simply impossible!

Now, the Dragons could only pray for Shen Tian to leave Dragon God Island as soon as possible.

In this way, peace would return.

Shen Tian was quite hyped up in the past three days. His Kun Peng Dao had also improved greatly from being chased by Soul Formation-level Dragons.

Currently, he could really be like a true Kun Peng when he activated the Immortal Metal with Kun Peng Dao. He was so fast that even Heavenly Venerable would shudder at his speed.

A man needs to be fast!

Shen Tian carried out those words to the extreme!

Of course, it was not as if Shen Tian had not encountered any crisis. He had unconsciously gotten close to Dragon God Island's core area in those three days.

At that moment, he had truly felt the real threat of death.

Dragon claws that were tens of thousands of feet long directly stretched out from the sky and almost completely covered the whole sky.

Shen Tian had felt that he was as weak as an ant in front of this dragon claw. He might have died if he had not burrowed underground quickly and immediately concealed his presence.

That had made Shen Tian start to be in awe of Dragon God Island.

This seemingly isolated island was not as simple as he thought.

Do the Sage-level Dragons that stay within the core area have high intelligence? If so, why would they stay in the deepest region all the time and not leave?

Are they guarding something?

Or are they confined by some forbidden existence?

Tsss, what a terrifying thought!

Chapter 325: Yin-Yang Two Eyes, Tree Of Enlightenment

Having just escaped death from Dragon God Island, Shen Tian appeared much more low-profile. After all, the cultivation world was a dog-eat-dog world. And this was the Chaotic Star Island domain, where there were threats and dangers abound.

Who knew how many more secrets were hidden here. If you let down your guard, you might just be on a straight road to hell.

With so many treasures on him now, Shen Tian didn't want to end up losing them here.

Shen Tian completely concealed his aura, spread open his wings, and flew back to the swamp.

Meanwhile, that pitiful Dark Venomous Dragon had just conquered its fear and decided to sneak back home to take a look.

In the end, it had just taken half a step onto the soft mud of the swamp before a streak of dazzling golden light suddenly appeared before it.

That troublesome human. He's back again to stir trouble!

Argh!

Sob, sob, sob!

The Dark Venomous Dragon leaped up in fright.

Following that, it ran in the opposite direction without even turning its head. It was as if it would be caught if it slowed down for even half a second.

"You are the lousiest venomous dragon I have ever seen."

Shen Tian shook his head. He covered his body with his aura, entered the swamp again, and soon found the Black Tortoise mystic realm entrance.

Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.

"Brother Shen, you are finally back!" Ao Wu smiled. "Brother Shaoxuan has been kicking up a fuss over the past few days, insisting that he wants to go out to find you. We have been very worried about you."

Qi Shaoxuan stiffened and turned his head away. "Nonsense. I just wanted to go out and explore to see how the dragon situation is."

Sprawled by the side, Wang Shenxu pursed his lips. "I think you are just trying to sneak out to practice the Eternal Life Sutra!"

This arrogant prodigy. He is clearly self-conscious about the embarrassing posture one has to adopt when practicing the Eternal Life Sutra and wanted to sneak out to cultivate alone. He is just a big hypocrite!

Qi Shaoxuan's face turned red. "You... How dare you slander me!"

Wang Shenxu smirked. He couldn't be bothered with this guy anymore. With head tucked in, he continued to circulate his energy, his white hair flying.

It was clear that having come face to face with death, Wang Shenxu's understanding of the Eternal Life Sutra had quickly deepened.

He was now sprawled across the Black Tortoise Eternal Tablet, adopting the posture of a white-haired Black Tortoise. From afar, he looked just like a tortoise statue.

The posture might be ugly, but the results were quite effective.

Shen Tian could clearly feel the tremendous Spirit Qi surging toward Wang Shenxu, replenishing his depleted body.

Compared to the amount of life energy Wang Shenxu had expended, the Spirit Qi was just a drop in the bucket. But it was still progress.

At the very least, if he continued this way, Wang Shenxu might be able to replenish his expended life energy in a few years' time.

It should be pointed out that a few years was nothing to a cultivator.

A high-level seclusion might go on for several years. Using a few years to exchange for several hundred years of his life was a good deal.

Of course, this was contingent on Wang Shenxu being low-profile and not being dragged into a fight.

Otherwise, his lifespan would decrease again.

Yeap, it was like those investors whose money were stuck in some poor-performing stock funds.

"Alright, stop bickering." Shen Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I went out and managed to lead those giant Dragons in circles. I think that those giant Dragons have already given up on pursuing me. Everyone can feel free to go out and explore now."

The eyes of the other three fellows lit up.

They had been cooped up in this Black Tortoise realm for so many days, not daring to step out. All because of those giant Dragons waiting in ambush!

They never expected Shen Tian to be able to settle all those giant Dragons. It was unbelievable.

Ao Wu gazed at Shen Tian admiringly.

No wonder he's Grand-Aunt's human partner. Brother Shen is indeed much more powerful than Brother Shaoxuan.

The party gathered their belongings and emerged from the Black Tortoise realm. Of course, they didn't forget to bow at the stone tablet before leaving.

Since they had received the Eternal Thearch's legacy, it was only right of them to pay their respects.

Shen Tian had even decided to impart the Eternal Life Sutra to Wu Wudi.

After all, Wu Wudi was a rare prodigy of the Black Turtle race. He had the right to receive the Eternal Thearch's legacy.

The sky was darkening by the time Shen Tian led the party out onto Dragon God Island again.

Starlight shone upon the island. The moon also appeared exceptionally bright.

If there were any cultivator who practiced Yin-Yang techniques, this would definitely be an exciting time.

This was because this type of Yin-element moon and starlight were extremely pure. It was also very beneficial to spirits and demons.

A look of anticipation appeared on Shen Tian's face as he gazed at the pristine moon.

According to the fortuitous opportunity image, tonight was the night!

With his Heaven's Halberd in hand, Qi Shaoxuan's Pure Heavenly Eye surveyed the area cautiously.

There were no giant Dragons around, but he remained very vigilant. "Brother Shen, where shall we go now?"

Shen Tian smiled. "To be honest, I discovered another mystic realm when traveling around this island the past few days. There should be a significant fortuitous opportunity there."

Shen Tian's words stunned the party.

Another mystic realm?

Brother Shen, are you playing a joke on us?

Do you know what a mystic realm is? Mystic realms are places that are extremely well-hidden and heavily concealed.

You managed to find a mystic realm in just a few days? And you claim that you are not the Son of Providence!?

Qi Shaoxuan stared at Shen Tian rather despondently. "How is this new mystic realm compared to the Black Tortoise realm?"

Shen Tian smiled. "I don't know. I have yet to check it out."

The three fellows exchanged looks. They felt very moved.

Everyone knew that mystic realms held unbound riches and fortuitous opportunities.

Whoever entered the mystic realm first had the first come, first served advantage. The first person could gain up to 90% of the loot inside.

Those who entered after might not even get a single penny.

Brother Shen discovered a new mystic realm but came to inform us so that we could go explore together. What a generous and altruistic person he is!

No one thought that Shen Tian wanted to bring them along because he was worried about not being able to handle the mystic realm's dangers alone.

They were well aware of just how powerful Shen Tian was. His abilities were far beyond any one of them.

Any danger which Shen Tian couldn't handle—there was no point dragging them along. They would just be collateral damage.

In fact, if they really encountered some great danger, they would just be a burden to Shen Tian. He would have to save them.

"Brother Shen, from now on, you will be like my real brother." Wang Shenxu flipped his white hair back as he widened his eyes, making his dark eye circles pop. "If you ever need anything, I will do whatever I can to help you, even if I have to cut short my life."

Qi Shaoxuan shot Wang Shenxu a dirty look. "You only have a few years left. It's not worth anything."

Wang Shenxu, "..."

Shen Tian felt rather exasperated at Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu's bickering.

It was like these fellows' horoscopes were in direct conflict. They had obviously formed a firm bond after their earlier battle, but they couldn't resist sniping at each other.

They quarreled all day along over nothing and everything.

Two humans and one dragon followed Shen Tian out of the poisonous swamp. They soon flew hundreds of miles away.

Dragon God Island appeared to be different tonight. All the giant Dragons were laying low in their own nests, quietly and obediently.

The entire Dragon God Island was vibrating gently. A faint humming noise could be heard from beneath the ground, like the muffled rumble of thunder or the rushing sounds of a great river.

A great suppressive force filled the air as if some supreme being was descending.

"Brother Shen, Brother Shaoxuan, I can feel my blood trembling."

Ao Wu's face looked grim. He could barely maintain his human body and was transforming back to his original form.

Qi Shaoxuan gave a slight frown as he looked at Shen Tian. "Brother Shen, this..."

Shen Tian shook his head. "No need to worry. This should be some kind of seasonal change on Dragon God Island. Just endure it."

Faced with this tremendous dragon aura, the party forged on.

Luckily, apart from Ao Wu, the other three were humans and were not that affected by the power of a supreme Dragon being.

After traveling over a long distance into Dragon God Island's deeper regions, they finally arrived at a massive basin.

This basin was several tens of thousands feet wide and engulfed by extremely dense Spirit Qi.

Even more astonishing was the fact that this basin seemed to encompass some kind of special energy field. It could naturally separate and refine Yin and Yang.

On the left side of the basin was an endless pool of lava. It churned and surged, emitting a suffocating and terrifying heat.

On the right side of the basin was a bone-chilling sea of ice. Just one glance could freeze your insides.

The world's most extreme cold and heat were bizarrely merged together.

It was obvious that this basin was no simple domain.

Shen Tian said, "I previously attained a Deity Peering Art legacy, and it mentioned all the different types of domains in the five regions."

"If I am not wrong, this basin is the legendary Yin-Yang Two Eyes domain."

Yin-Yang Two Eyes was one of the most elite domains across the five regions. It possessed boundless providence, especially for cultivators who specialized in Yin-Yang techniques. This domain was a cultivation paradise for them.

Of course, compared to the treasures inside the Yin-Yang Two Eyes, the domain itself paled in comparison.

Suddenly, a dark, icy patch appeared in the lava pool. A tree grew on that patch.

It was a towering tea tree, and it exuded a thick aura all over. The tea leaves had all sorts of exotic markings depicting dragons, phoenixes, and cauldrons.

The leaves fluttered gently in the breeze, emitting a pleasant rustling sound.

Hearing that, Shen Tian and his companions felt incomparably calm and tranquil.

"Each leaf represents a pathway. A tea tree leads to heavenly enlightenment." Qi Shaoxuan stared at the tea tree in a daze as he muttered to himself, "Could this be the legendary Tree of Enlightenment?"

The so-called Tree of Enlightenment was a supreme spirit plant. It was on par with the Buddhist Bodhi Tree.

They had very similar abilities, which was to help a cultivator gain enlightenment.

According to Qi Shaoxuan's knowledge, there was an ancient Tree of Enlightenment growing at the Jixia Academy in Middle Ground.

It was Huang Shi himself who had personally planted that tree there. He had been nurturing it with all sorts of premium liquids, but it had only grown to a height of a few hundred feet.

This Tree of Enlightenment before them was at least several thousand feet tall.

It should be pointed out that for both the Tree of Enlightenment and the Bodhi Tree, the older they were, the more powerful they became.

This kind of Tree of Enlightenment... The power of its leaves was beyond imagination!

This was a most incredible fortuitous opportunity!

Chapter 326: Supreme Treasure Of The Dragon Race, Dragon Source Fruit

"What a big Tree of Enlightenment. This is completely unprecedented!" Wang Shenxu's voice was shaking. "This Tree of Enlightenment must be at least over a million years old!"

Qi Shaoxuan also looked very shocked. He stared at the leaves on the tree, his eyes filled with pure longing and desire.

This was a Tree of Enlightenment. A legendary treasure that could permanently enhance a cultivator's ability to understand and gain enlightenment. It was an extremely rare and precious treasure.

Even the leaves of that tree in Jixia Academy could be exchanged for superior-grade Spirit artifacts.

This Tree of Enlightenment was way older than the one at Jixia Academy. Its leaves would be at least 10 times more potent.

The leaves from this tree would be enough to exchange for supreme-grade Spirit artifacts or even Sage-level artifacts from a Sage who was in urgent need of enlightenment.

After all, this was such a rare commodity. The leaves from the Tree of Enlightenment had always been a much sought-after treasure across the five regions, and this particular tree was so old.

Amongst all the treasures in the five regions over the past 10,000 years, a treasure of this grade was few and far between.

Its value was beyond description!

Of course, although the Tree of Enlightenment was full of leaves, not every one of them was effective.

For most of the leaves, the exotic markings had yet to be fully formed. The potency of such leaves was much lower.

Only the leaves, whose markings were complete, the images of cauldrons, dragons, phoenixes, qilins, etc., were fully presented, possessed unsurpassed power.

And those leaves were at least 100,000 years old. The potency of an old leaf that had been nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years was immeasurable!

They exuded a jade-green glow, like shimmering stars, as they dangled from the tree.

Of course, there weren't that many of those kinds of leaves.

Shen Tian estimated that there were only about a few thousand on the entire Tree of Enlightenment!

Don't think that a few thousand was a lot. It should be pointed out that this Tree of Enlightenment was several thousands of feet tall. It was as high as a large mountain.

A few thousand silver enlightenment leaves spread across this massive tree meant that there was only about one such leaf on every level.

This also meant that for every fully-formed leaf, there were thousands of immature ones!

At the same time, those fully-formed leaves could also be divided into different grades.

The higher up the leaves were, the more complicated their markings. They also radiated a more dazzling glow.

Meanwhile, those fully-formed leaves' markings at the lowest levels were relatively sparse, with a dimmer glow. It was obvious they had just been nurtured for a few years.

Leaves growing above 1,000 feet were of a more superior grade. They were lustrous as jade and exuded a thick aura. Just looking at them made one's heart feel lighter.

Leaves growing above 2,000 to 3,000 feet could not even be called leaves anymore. The markings made them appear like mini cauldrons, phoenixes, kuns—all looking very life-like.

And surrounding those leaves were mysterious and profound avatars.

It was clear that this Tree of Enlightenment's leaves were of top quality. After being nurtured for tens of thousands of years, they possessed a startling potency.

If a normal prodigy could consume a cup of tea brewed from those leaves, their ability to gain enlightenment would be instantly raised by several levels. They could become an elite prodigy.

And at the very top of the Tree of Enlightenment was a round-shaped leaf.

It was like a piece of white jade, exuding a cold shimmer, like the full moon hanging in the sky.

Cold, pristine, untouchable!

This was the divine tree growing on the icy Yin patch of the Yang lava pool.

Meanwhile, there was another giant tree growing on the other side of the Yin-Yang Two Eyes.

This massive tree was as high as the Tree of Enlightenment. It was completely covered in scales and looked exceptionally robust and mighty.

Its branches were like long, serpentine divine dragons spreading out of the tree, exuding an intense dragon aura.

Fruits that looked like huge eggs were growing on this tree, their surface covered in faint dragon markings.

As the fruits swayed in the breeze, the faint roar of dragons echoed through the air, the sound of which left a lingering fear in the hearts of those who heard it.

These fruits emitted a reddish-gold glow. The higher the fruits on the tree, the more dazzling the glow. Those around the top looked like miniature suns.

Meanwhile, the fruit right at the top was too dazzling for anyone to stare straight at it.

"Wow, don't tell me this is the Dragon Source Tree!?"

Ao Wu gaped as he stared at the giant tree.

The Dragon Source Tree was not that famous amongst the other races across the five regions.

But to the Black Dragon race, this was a tree of incomparable value. It was even more important to them than the Tree of Enlightenment.

This was because the fruits on this tree could greatly enhance the bloodline of a dragon.

It was rumored that the Dragon race's top prodigy Ao Bing, had obtained a high-quality Dragon Source Fruit from this tree 10,000 years ago and managed to successfully attain Rank-9 bloodline.

Before that, Ao Bing only had a peak Rank-8 bloodline. She had been very close to attaining Rank-9.

To be able to help Ao Bing make that final step into the Rank-9—it could be imagined just how important this Dragon Source Fruit was to the Black Dragon race.

Of course, the Dragon Source Fruit was also beneficial to the cultivators from other races. It could greatly enhance the strength and toughness of their physical bodies.

But there were many other precious treasures that could improve one's physical body. Compared to that, the Dragon Source Fruit was much more effective in enhancing the bloodline of the Black Dragon race.

"Brother Shen, you... You have really found a great treasure!" Ao Wu's face was flushed red. "If I can obtain the Dragon Source Fruit, you will become the great savior of the entire Black Dragon race!"

Actually, the Black Dragon race had already treated Shen Tian as their great savior.

If not for Shen Tian, their most-esteemed prodigy Ao Bing would still be pinned down by a sword!

But if Ao Wu could also attain a Rank-9 Black Dragon bloodline, it would bring about a new, prosperous era for the Black Dragons.

And Shen Tian would be the one who set it all in motion. He would be the great savior of the entire Black Dragon race!

Looking at the two ancient trees, Wang Shenxu chuckled. "How do we divide up these fruits?"

Qi Shaoxuan said mildly, "Brother Shen was the one who found this mystic realm, as well as the previous Black Tortoise realm. We owe him a great favor. Thus, for these fruits, we should just take what we need. The rest should all belong to Brother Shen."

Wang Shenxu replied thoughtfully, "You are usually an idiotic fool, but this time you finally said something right.

"No problem. Brother Shen has done so much for me. I don't mind giving him those treasures!"

Shen Tian was amused. "It's better that we split it according to how much work we each put in! These two divine trees have been growing here for so many years but still have so many fruits on them... I am afraid it won't be that easy to pick them."

Ao Wu nodded as he explained, "Brother Shen is right. It is very difficult to pick the Tree Enlightenment's leaves and the Dragon Source Fruits. They are one with the trees themselves. They can even borrow the power of the Yin-Yang Two Eyes domain to fend off our efforts.

"According to my race's ancient records, the Tree of Enlightenment and Dragon Source Tree would only appear on full-moon nights. They would immediately disappear again after encountering their first batch of fated cultivators.

"So we don't have much time left. We only have this one night!"

At that, Ao Wu had already executed his race's mystic arts to start attracting those Dragon Source Fruits.

But as he mentioned earlier, those Dragon Source Fruits were no easy pickings. The dragon markings on their surface possessed wondrous energy.

As Ao Wu executed his mystic arts to pick one of the Dragon Source Fruits, the surface of the fruit formed a reddish-gold barrier to block against his attempts.

This barrier was extremely firm. Even with Ao Wu's peak Golden Body abilities, he was unable to break through immediately.

Qi Shaoxuan's eyes hardened. "Let me help you!"

At that, a tremendous purple aura appeared behind Qi Shaoxuan, forming a giant fist. It reached out toward the Dragon Source Fruit.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the other fruits started to vibrate.

The dragon patterns on their surface also exuded a dazzling golden light, merging and lending their power to the first fruit.

The glow of that Dragon Source Fruit surged and completely blocked off Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu's attack. The fruit remained unharmed.

"What a powerful defense. I can't break through it!"

Qi Shaoxuan looked shocked and somewhat disbelieving.

He did not put in his full power for that Purple Giant Fist, but it was at least at about 80%.

That single palm attack would flatten a normal, relatively powerful cultivator. But it couldn't even pluck a tiny fruit?

Shen Tian smiled. "If I am not wrong, those fruits cannot be plucked by hand. This is the rule of divine trees."

Ao Wu nodded. "Yes. Only prodigies who are powerful enough can gain the divine trees' acknowledgment and be gifted with the fruits.

"If we work together, the Dragon Source Fruits' defense mechanism will magnify accordingly and become even more powerful.

"And the more fruits we pluck, the more defensive the rest of the fruits will become."

With that, Ao Wu looked somewhat despondent.

The Dragon Source Fruit he was eyeing was clearly not an easy pick.

And those fruits at the lower levels had dimmer glows and didn't look that ripe.

They would be practically useless in helping him attain the Rank-9 Black Dragon bloodline.

If I knew that I would encounter this Dragon Source Tree, I would have worked harder in the past to break through to the Nirvana stage! Boohoohoohoo!

My mere Golden Body cultivation level is too weak!

Ao Wu was sobbing on the inside!

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light erupted by the side.

Shen Tian was engulfed in a golden glow. He looked like he was encased in gold.

He reached out his right hand, and a jade-green vine crept toward the Dragon Source Tree.

He chose a fruit that was even higher than the one Ao Wu was targeting. It exuded a more intense light and dragon aura.

Upon sensing Shen Tian's attack, the fruit's surface markings shimmered as it formed a thick barrier.

But it was useless.

The jade-green vine was doused in a silver liquid. Its power was beyond comparison.

Rumble!

The reddish-gold barrier was penetrated. Reddish-gold light shot out like streaks of blood, completely unable to defend against the vine.

The vine curled around the Dragon Source Fruit and tugged downward. The fruit landed right in Shen Tian's hands.

"Brother Shen is so great. You successfully plucked a Dragon Source Fruit with just one move!"

Ao Wu's eyes were filled with adoration. He was indeed the most powerful prodigy across the entire Eastern Wilderness!

Brother Shen is indeed more powerful than Brother Shaoxuan!

Standing by the side, Qi Shaoxuan felt a sour feeling in his heart.

Meanwhile, Wang Shenxu was hunched over, still caught in a dilemma.

Should I expend some life energy to try plucking one fruit? What if I fail to get the fruit?

My life energy is limited. I really cannot afford to waste any!

Chapter 327: Crossing Ancient Times To Fight Prodigies

"Is this the Dragon Source Fruit?"

Everyone crowded over and stared at that fruit with sparkling eyes.

The Dragon Source Fruit in Shen Tian's hand was about a pomelo's size and radiated with a reddish-golden light.

Wondrous dragon markings covered the surface of the fruit. When running one's hand gently over those markings, they could even hear the faint roar of dragons.

Shen Tian tossed the Dragon Source Fruit toward Ao Wu. "Little Wu, for you."

Ao Wu was completely dumbstruck.

This is such a precious treasure. Brother Shen is giving it to me just like that?

If Shen Tian wanted to, he could easily have asked for a Sage-level artifact in return for this fruit!

Yes, a Sage-level artifact!

Sage-level artifacts might be very precious, but the North Sea Black Dragon race had quite a number of them.

After all, as long as a Sage who had undergone at least three tribulations was willing to invest the time, they could cultivate Sage-level artifacts.

But a Dragon Source Fruit was not something that could be conjured just like that. It should be pointed out that the Dragon race had been searching for 10,000 years but failed to even find the location of this Dragon God Island.

Not to mention this supreme Dragon Source Fruit.

This fruit in Shen Tian's hand—Ao Wu was almost 100% confident that he would successfully attain the Rank-9 bloodline once he ingested it.

It would be a great improvement to the Dragon race's powers. It was far more valuable than any Sage-level artifact!

Ao Wu didn't feel it was right to accept. "Brother Shen, you keep it first. When we return, my father will give you a reward for it."

Shen Tian continued smiling. "You are already calling me brother, so we are like family. This is a mere Dragon Source Fruit. It is a gift. What's this talk about a reward?"

With that, Ao Wu's halo glowed even brighter. The purple spots on it also increased.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian himself felt relaxed and soothed all over.

This made the smile on Shen Tian's face grow even more bright and sincere.

A mere Dragon Source Fruit?

The other three guys had no idea what Shen Tian was thinking. They just felt shocked.

They were shocked by Shen Tian's sincerity, generosity, and loyalty.

If it were them, they would not have so easily given away such a precious treasure.

After all, this was something that could be exchanged for at least one of the Dragon race's Sage-level artifacts!

Ao Wu was so touched that his eyes had turned red. He accepted the Dragon Source Fruit. "Brother Shen, don't worry. I will definitely tell my father that you were the one who helped me pick this fruit.

"When we return, I will ask him to give you a Sage-level artifact. It will be a gift in return for this Dragon Source Fruit.

"Brother Shen, please don't reject it. You can choose not to keep it, that is your prerogative.

"But the Dragon race must give you something in return. We have our own pride!"

Hmm?

Shen Tian frowned slightly. Somehow, he found this sentence very familiar.

Is the Dragon race really that generous?

Well, most novels always spoke of how treasure-rich the Dragon race is.

Shen Tian suddenly got a good idea. What if I collected a few more Dragon Source Fruits? Won't I be able to raid the Dragons' entire treasure vault then?

At that thought, Shen Tian shot Divine Devouring Vines out of his right hand toward fruit after fruit.

Rumble!

Rumble, rumble!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Barrier after barrier was pierced by the Divine Devouring Vines, and reddish-gold streaks of light scattered everywhere.

One by one, reddish-gold Dragon Source Fruits were collected by the Divine Devouring Vines. The other three fellows just stared on in a daze.

Tell us the truth, is this really the same tree as before?

Why did we find it so difficult to harvest this tree just now? That barrier had been as firm as steel.

But Brother Shen's vines penetrate seemingly without any resistance. And you said the more fruits were collected, the more powerful the resistance!

Don't tell me those fruits are more willing to be collected by Brother Shen because he is handsome?

In reality, Shen Tian did feel that the Dragon Source Fruits' resistance had increased.

Every time he successfully collected one Dragon Source Fruit, the remaining fruits' barriers would become stronger.

After collecting 10 Dragon Source Fruits, even with a Divine Devouring Vine covered in First Essence Heavy Water, he had to give his all just to pierce through the barriers.

Of course, it was also because Shen Tian chose those Dragon Source Fruits, which were at the top-most levels.

If Shen Tian had chosen those at the lower levels, their resistance would be much weaker.

Haha, go ahead and resist!

The more you resist, the more excited I will be.

Shen Tian activated his God of War Transformation.

Multi-colored light engulfed Shen Tian as the hair at the top of his head stood straight up.

Those powerful barriers turned into nothing before this version of Shen Tian. They were completely unable to fend against him.

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu, who had been trying their best to emulate Shen Tian, were completely dumbstruck.

It was like the resistance of those fruits was stronger against them just because they were at the Nascent Soul stage.

They had felt the powerful resistance the first time they tried collecting a fruit.

The two of them spent a whole hour just to collect a single fruit.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian had already stored over 30 Dragon Source Fruits in his storage ring. And they were all top quality.

Comparing yourself to others all the time was an aggravating exercise!

Rumble!

The lava beneath the Dragon Source Tree suddenly started to churn.

The Yin-Yang Two Eyes domain trembled as the towering Dragon Source Tree slowly sank down.

"I haven't collected enough. Why are you retreating now?"

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. Those reddish-gold fruits were all on par with supreme-grade Sage-level artifacts.

Even if you just ate it as an after-dinner dessert, it would be a great divine herb that could nourish the body.

No, he had to collect a few more!

Shen Tian spread his golden wings and morphed into a streak of light. He appeared above the Dragon Source Tree, and the Divine Devouring Vines shot out toward the top-most Dragon Source Fruit.

Clang!

The top-most fruit radiated with a dazzling light as if it was made of divine metal.

Even Shen Tian's Divine Devouring Vine covered in Heavy Water could only leave streaks of white marks across that barrier.

It was clear that this top-most fruit was very important to the Dragon Source Tree.

Somehow, this Dragon Source Tree still did not possess any sense of self-awareness or intelligence even after so many years of cultivation.

But it was clear that it instinctively did not want Shen Tian to snatch away this top-most fruit. It was just too precious!

And this fruit was the only one on the Dragon Source Tree that could trigger a strong sense of desire in Shen Tian, like those extraordinary items.

This made Shen Tian feel all the more determined to get that fruit.

Whatever Shen Tian wanted, Shen Tian would get!

White Hurricane Lilies slowly bloomed on the Divine Devouring Vine, and the entire vine started to look like an illusion.

Swoosh!

This was a killing move that he had been nurturing in secret for a long time. Success guaranteed with just one strike!

The Divine Devouring Vine successfully penetrated the powerful barrier of that top-most fruit and curled tightly around it.

Rumble!

The Dragon Source Tree vibrated fiercely as it started to sink into the ground even faster.

The top-most fruit clearly possessed extreme power but was still forcefully bound by that Divine Devouring Vine.

At that moment, Shen Tian felt like he was pitting himself against an elite Heavenly Venerable. He was dragged toward that tree.

I don't believe that I can't handle you!

Shen Tian gnashed his teeth as the Divine Devouring Vine started hacking away at the twig connected to the fruit.

A dazzling sword light filled the air.

The amazing Flying Sword Intent had emerged!

Clang!

Shen Tian's Divine Devouring Vine collected the top-most fruit.

The Dragon Source Tree was engulfed in a reddish-gold light as it rapidly retreated into the lava.

It was like it was too scared to remain exposed a split second longer.

Qi Shaoxuan, "..."

Wang Shenxu, "..."

Ao Wu, "..."

Brother Shen managed to force this Dragon Source Tree into seclusion!

This Dragon Source Tree would probably not dare to show its head again for another 300 to 500 years. Or maybe even 1,000 years!

"I finally got it. I am so tired."

Shen Tian held that Dragon Source Fruit like it was a scorching little sun.

Even after being plucked, that fruit was still vibrating.

The faces of the other three guys suddenly changed.

They realized that the Tree of Enlightenment on the other side had also started to vibrate.

Oh no! It's also trying to escape!

Shen Tian reacted quickly. He spread open his golden wings and shot toward that tree.

Swoosh!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The Tree of Enlightenment seemed to panic as it felt Shen Tian's fast-approaching aura.

The immature leaves on the tree left their branches and shot toward Shen Tian like a tornado.

It was strange that this Tree of Enlightenment was at least a million years old but had yet to develop any self-awareness.

Its attack was crude and simple. An assault by thousands of leaves was only like being attacked by a weak group of Perfected Ones.

No one knew if its true powers were really that weak or under some sort of restraint.

Shen Tian formed some hand seals. "Kun Peng Dao—Great Sky-Swallowing Technique!"

A massive Kun avatar appeared behind Shen Tian.

The Kun opened its mouth, and a void vortex with powerful suction power appeared.

Those leaves were sucked straight into the void vortex and lost all attacking power. Shen Tian took out a container to store them all.

Although they were immature leaves, they could still be used to make some sort of tea. He was a thrifty man who didn't like to waste things.

The Tree of Enlightenment shuddered when it saw that its attack was completely ineffective against Shen Tian.

It trembled violently as it burrowed into the ground at an even faster pace.

Shen Tian was now less than ten feet away from the Tree of Enlightenment. He could even smell the scent of the tea leaves.

Rumble!

A loud boom echoed through the air.

Those silver, ripe tea leaves also started to leave their twigs.

Some of them morphed into large golden bells, ringing loudly and attacking Shen Tian with powerful sound waves.

Some morphed into divine swords and shot toward Shen Tian with the intention to kill.

Some morphed into black demonic axes, exuding a terrifying aura of menace. One's hair would stand on end just at the sight.

Some morphed into snakes, phoenixes, and other legendary divine beasts, all charging toward him.

It was rumored that the Tree of Enlightenment was imprinted by the powers of ancient cultivators.

At that moment, Shen Tian felt like he had crossed over into ancient times and was fighting against those prodigies from then.

He only had one notion in his head, Those prodigies from the ancient times imprinted on that Tree of Enlightenment... Why were they so weak?

Chapter 328: Appearance Of the Golden Crow Thearch's Tomb!

Eastern Wilderness, on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Saint Mountain...

Zhang Yunxi stood at the peak of the mountain proudly as she looked toward the north.

A bright Golden Core was hovering over her head. She had already reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.

As one of the first people to obtain the Mixed Divine Lightning Origin, Zhang Yunxi already had the advantage.

The huge pressure from Shen Tian made Zhang Yunxi's desire to improve her strength unprecedentedly strong.

As for why would Shen Tian give her such huge pressure?

It was obvious just from looking at the women around him. Τhere were simply too many of them coveting Shen Tian, εspecially a certain 10,000-year-old Dragon Lady. Ηer talent, strength, and appearance were just too extraordinary!

It was difficult for Zhang Yunxi not to feel pressured when standing in front of Ao Bing.

In those few months that Shen Tian was in North Sea, Zhang Yunxi had been cultivating diligently.

Finally, she reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage and became one of Eastern Wilderness' top prodigies.

At present, when using the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra and Mixed Divine Lightning, Zhang Yunxi's true battle strength could almost be compared to that of Golden Core Tenth Refinement cultivators.

She could easily be ranked third in the Golden Core List!

She could only be ranked third because this generation's prodigies were very talented. Had it been 10 years ago, Zhang Yunxi could easily be ranked first in the Golden Core List.

Given Zhang Yunxi's present strength, it was not exaggerating to call her the strongest talented Saintess in Eastern Wilderness!

"Two months after Junior Brother left, I reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.

"Three months after Junior Brother left, Senior Brother Fang Chang successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage, joining the Supremacy ranks.

"Five months after Junior Brother left, my brother also successfully reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage and achieved the Yang Divine Lightning Constitution.

"Meanwhile, the whole Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's disciples have become stronger with the Yin Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman's help. The benefits they obtain from their experiential journeys have also significantly increased.

"Junior Brother, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is currently as you envisioned it back when you joined. You wished for everyone in the sacred ground to be lions!

"The sacred ground is well and safe, but you're undergoing the trial in North Sea. How are you now?

"Did old Dragon Lady Ao Bing's kin make things difficult for you?"

The Divine Firmament Saintess was famous for being a cold beauty. Even wishing for another look from her was like high hopes for normal prodigies.

Meanwhile, she was currently thinking about a man, and her eyes even betrayed a tinge of bitterness.

Below the cliff were the Favored Ones' core members—they had been specially permitted to move to the Saint Mountain to cultivate.

Well, it's better to rear the sheep nearby.

Everyone looked at the young lady's back as she stood on the peak of the cliff alone. They started sighing in an instant.

They naturally knew why the Saintess would sit on Saint Mountain and cultivate. She was simply waiting for Shen Tian to return.

Meanwhile, it was not only her who was missing the Saint.

The red long-robed Eunuch Gui's cultivation level had improved dramatically as compared to when he had just entered the sacred ground.

After refining and strengthening his body with spirit herbs like Dragon Blood Grass and Nirvana Holy Liquid, Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao had both reached the Golden Core stage with the help of the remarkable Demon Book of Hyuga.

Even amongst the Golden Core cultivators, their cultivation level was definitely not counted as weak. They were one of the best in terms of aggressive attacks.

Such strength was something Eunuch Gui would not even dare to imagine back in the Country of Fire.

"His Highness has been in North Sea for six months. The Saintess has also cultivated for six months on Saint Mountain's highest peak. She really has deep feelings and affection for His Highness."

Eunuch Gui murmured as he looked at Zhang Yunxi, "If Her Majesty knew that such a lady is infatuated with His Highness, she would be happy and be able to rest in peace."

Qin Gao nodded his head slowly. "Uncle Gui is right!"

Zhao Hao was surrounded by red lightning and carried a longsword behind him. He had been cultivating the Qian Yang Sword Sutra, so his cultivation level had improved greatly. He had also reached the Golden Core stage.

Currently, the blazing Nan Ming Li Fire surrounded him as it was slightly difficult for him to control his strength that had soared suddenly.

He was no weaker than Eunuch Gui or Qin Gao at all when using his exceptional fire. It could be said that he even has a stronger foundation as compared to them.

It might even be possible for him to merge the Qian Yang Sword Sutra and Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique to create his own cultivation path.

By then, it would not be impossible for him to become another dark horse prodigy of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and enter the top 10 of Eastern Wilderness' Golden Core List.

Some Divine Firmament elders would say jokingly that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's five prodigies had been gathered.

Azure Dragon Zhang Yunting, White Tiger Zhang Yunxi, Qilin Fang Chang, Crimson Phoenix Zhao Hao...

As for the Black Tortoise...

It had already been decided that it was Shen Tian. After all, he had acquired the First Essence Heavy Water before the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Also, when Shen Tian cultivated the Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning, it was as if it was made for him. The cultivation process could not be smoother.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had taken a liking to Shen Tian and had given him two protective items, the Black Tortoise Armor and Black Tortoise Helmet.

However, they had never expected that Shen Tian's BUG-like luck would actually allow him to directly gather all five extraordinary items in just a few months.

What was even more astonishing was that Shen Tian could actually merge the five extraordinary items as one even though he was just a Golden Core cultivator.

It was such a crazy move that even if a Sage had tried, they would definitely explode and die.

However, Shen Tian had succeeded just like that.

Thus, a simple Black Tortoise title was not worthy of the Divine Firmament Saint at all.

His ability to survive was not something a Black Tortoise could be compared to.

The ground was trembling slightly as a humongous iron puppet gradually walked closer. Its whole body was made of Spirit Iron Ore, so it was extremely costly. Its cost surpassed that of plenty of Spirit artifacts.

The iron puppet was carrying a long hollow iron pillar with all kinds of mysterious patterns and pictures carved on it.

Meanwhile, on the iron puppet's waist were numerous silver head-sized iron balls. They shone coldly under the light.

Rumble!

The iron puppet's head slowly opened and revealed a handsome face. He had golden hair, which shone brightly under sunlight and further enhanced his gorgeous features.

This was a peculiar handsome man. The only thing strange about him was that he lacked masculine features. He was even slightly charming.

There was a stark contrast between his thin, delicate body and the huge hard, iron battle armor.

In me, the tiger sniffs the rose.

"Senior Brother Shen has not returned yet?"

Qin Yundi narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "I've gone all out in researching the Thousand Weapons Palace's heritage. I combined it with the advanced research of the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Law and finally created the so-called 'mecha' that Senior Brother has mentioned.

"Mother has carved numerous array formations such as 'Examine', 'Defense', 'Fly', 'Tracking' and so on. She has also attached the most powerful Mixed Lightning cannon.

"Although these mechas are lacking compared to the Thousand Weapons Palace's strongest puppets, I can feel that they have extremely high potential.

"If I could get some advice from Senior Brother Shen, I could finish this 'mecha' as soon as possible!

"Sigh... Senior Brother Shen has not been around for six months. I miss him!"

That's right, he missed Shen Tian!

In the few months that Shen Tian had been in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he had never stopped providing and obtaining huge benefits for the sacred ground.

Be it the Lightning Explosion Talisman, God of War Pagoda, Divine Binding Vines, or Dragon Blood Grass, all of them allowed the Divine Firmament core disciples' competitiveness to increase.

In addition, the Wind Turbine and Hydroelectric Generator that Shen Tian had taught Qin Yundi before leaving could actually create lightning continuously by harnessing the power of wind and water.

As more and more generators were created, Divine Firmament's demand for Spirit Stones to cultivate decreased greatly.

Thus, now that cultivating was more energy-conserving, it meant that more Spirit Stones could be saved to do other things, such as going to massage parlo—

No! Erm... Such as buying crafting materials, resources to create pills, research array formations, and so on.

Anyway, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had not been this prosperous in the past 10,000 years. It was growing stronger every day.

Meanwhile, the new Saint was the harbinger of the changes.

When Shen Tian had been around in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, nobody could feel anything special.

However, now that Shen Tian was undergoing the trial in North Sea, everyone started missing him, especially those from the Favored Ones. They were waiting for his return with great anxiety.

Is Master Heavens eating properly in North Sea? Is Master Heavens dressing warmly enough? Has Master Heavens gotten accustomed to the weather there?

Those North Sea demons are ignorant when it comes to proper etiquette. Will they offend Master Celestial? Can they properly flatter Master Celestial?

According to rumors, Senior Brother Yunfeng has vetted North Sea's White Prince. Will he surpass us in terms of flattery techniques?

What if Master Heavens enjoys being flattered in North Sea so much that he will be unwilling to return?

What if the Black Dragons force Master Heavens to stay and be their son-in-law, preventing him from returning?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground can't do without His Highness!

If others' worries could be materialized, then Shen Tian would have already been woven into a woolen ball.

It was a pity that such worries were shapeless. Thus, no matter how much the Divine Firmament disciples missed Shen Tian. They could only await Shen Tian's return silently.

"Breaking news, breaking news! Shocking news!"

A person suddenly appeared below Saint Mountain. That person used Sword Kinesis Flight to fly toward Saint Mountain's highest peak directly.

That person was the Divine Firmament Know-It-All, Li Yunfeng. He was filled with excitement. "There's breaking news from North Sea!"

North Sea?

All the Favored Ones core members stood up. "Is it news about Master Heavens/Senior Brother Shen/His Highness?"

Li Yunfeng drank a mouthful of water and was planning to leave them in suspense.

Suddenly, he felt a shiver down his back. He turned to see a slender figure gradually land from Saint Mountain's peak.

Zhang Yunxi stared at Li Yunfeng. "Junior Brother, what news?"

Li Yunfeng shuddered before hurriedly speaking as fast as he could. "I heard from a friend in North Sea that the Immortal Abode Island that had sunk tens of thousands of years ago appeared once again.

"Blazing flames burned the sky, divine birds sang, and the sound of Dao resounded. It's believed that the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb from 80,000 years ago has appeared!"

Zhang Yunxi's eyes turned solemn. "The Golden Crow Thearch's tomb?"

Li Yunfeng nodded. "The appearance of the Thearch's tomb is no trivial matter. The whole five regions will be affected.

"Normally, such a Thearch's tomb will contain huge fortuitous opportunities. Besides the core area that is dangerous and unpredictable, there should be numerous heritages and treasures in the outer area.

"Sometimes, one's cultivation level does not represent everything. The most important thing is one's providence and fate for encountering opportunities. A person blessed by providence might even obtain the Thearch's true heritage.

"If no mishaps happen, the Sacred Leader should send a message soon and bring us to head to North Sea."

As Li Yunfeng kept explaining, Zhang Yunxi's eyes turned brighter and brighter.

Chaotic Star Island was North Sea's core forbidden area, so she did not have the qualifications to enter even if it was her.

However, the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb on Immortal Abode Island was different. It was a mystic realm that could shake the whole five regions.

No matter how domineering the North Sea demons were, they couldn't monopolize the island for themselves. They would at least need to explore it together with a few sacred grounds.

Meanwhile, Divine Firmament was currently "in good terms" with North Sea's Black Dragon Island, so it was naturally within the invitation list. Thus, Black Dragon Island would definitely ask the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to join hands.

By then, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader would definitely bring Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, and others along. Their providence was high, after all.

As for Shen Tian, it would be highly likely for the Black Dragons to bring him too.

The Chaotic Star Island domain was opened for half a year now. In other words, most of the islands in the outer area must have already been plundered.

As for the islands in the deeper region, no one knew how long a cultivator would need to chance upon such an island, nor how long they would need to wait to be able to enter.

Even if one really entered, it could be a barren island that only had normal spirit herbs and no fortuitous opportunities.

In comparison, the fortuitous opportunities and treasures in the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb were naturally more tempting.

Also, given Shen Tian's providence, he would definitely be able to monopolize most of the fortuitous opportunities if he headed toward the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb.

If his providence went through the roof, the imperial weapon buried with the Golden Crow Thearch might recognize him, adding another peerless imperial weapon to the sacred ground's arsenal.

More importantly, if Shen Tian also headed toward Immortal Abode Island to explore, then...

They would be able to meet Shen Tian earlier!

At that thought, Zhang Yunxi's eyes turned passionate.

The longsword behind her was unsheathed, and the silvery-white lightning shone brightly like a silver dragon.

Zhang Yunxi used Sword Kinesis Flight and pierced through the sky, flying at full speed toward Sacred Leader Mountain.

On the other hand, on Dragon God Island...

Shen Tian was still battling with the silver leaves that the Tree of Enlightenment had shot out.

Those silver leaves were extraordinary as each of them represented a cultivation Dao.

Battling with them was the same as fighting with ancient times' peerless prodigies—one would put their Dao on the test against the opponent's Dao.

Golden Bell, Peerless Immortal Sword, Black Demon Axe, Blood-Stained Bronze Cauldron, Cracked Greenish-Gold Pagoda...

Each attack contained endless profundity, which showcased the peerless arts that dominated ancient times. Qi Shaoxuan and the others could not help but be amazed.

Frankly speaking, the attacks formed by those leaves were definitely extraordinary.

Even the nomological enlightenment many Heavenly Venerables or Sages had received might not be as profound as those branded on the leaves.

It was a pity that it could only unleash Golden Body battle prowess when facing Shen Tian. It was unknown if some law restricted it.

Although the attacks were mysterious and profound, they were all useless before Shen Tian's "absolute strength".

Shen Tian was clad in the golden Divine Firmament's Five Lightning Armor, and the Divine Binding Vines in his hands were like two invincible whips as he flapped the divine wings behind him.

Whenever he flew in the silver leaf storm and lashed with his whip, a silver enlightenment leaf would definitely fall to the ground.

One down!

Two!

Three!

Shortly after, Shen Tian had already whipped through all those silver leaves that filled up the sky.

There were leaves with all kinds of divine emblems, 80-100 of them with just a rough estimation.

This was definitely a formidable fortune. If others learned of this, their jaws would drop from astonishment.

In fact, the Tree of Enlightenment was already dumbstruck, and its speed of going underground became faster.

Swoosh!

Those silver leaves had bought enough time for the Tree of Enlightenment.

When Shen Tian finished collecting all of the leaves, the Tree of Enlightenment had already completely sunk within the glacier.

Shen Tian sighed upon looking at the empty glacier. "I still did not make it in time?"

Shen Tian had a compelling desire for the leaf at the peak of the Tree of Enlightenment.

He was reluctant to let it escape!

Suddenly, as if having thought of something, Shen Tian smiled widely.

He nearly forgot that he could burrow underground too!

Tree of Enlightenment, here I come!

Chapter 329: Those Humans Finally Left

Hurricane Lilies bloomed on the Divine Devouring Vine as Shen Tian completely sunk into the glacier.

The next second, the whole Yin-Yang Two Eyes domain started to shake violently, and magma surged out from underground.

Qi Shaoxuan, Wang Shenxu, and Ao Wu exchanged looks but were at a loss. They had never expected Shen Tian to be this daring, directly chasing the tree underground.

That was a 1,000,000-year-old Tree of Enlightenment, after all. Normally speaking, its cultivation level was simply unimaginable. If it was the outside, it might have even ascended the road of cultivation.

However, this Tree of Enlightenment seemed to be quite weak in this mystic realm, or it could be said that it was extremely restricted.

Otherwise, it would definitely not have ended up being chased by Shen Tian.

Boom!

Suddenly, the glacier cracked open, and an azure green tree root suddenly shot out from underground. A figure was then knocked back.

Swoosh!

As if being kicked away, that figure instantly flew away by hundreds of miles. Who else could it be besides Shen Tian, who was full of smiles?

"Worth it, definitely worth it!"

Shen Tian had a bright smile on his face as the leaf in his hands gleamed like a jade plate.

That's right—Shen Tian had plucked the Tree of Enlightenment's top peerless leaf!

No one knew just how precious this leaf was, but obviously, even a true immortal would be tempted by such supreme treasure.

Qi Shaoxuan and the others were also extremely dumbfounded as they looked at the leaf Shen Tian was holding. They were unable to move their gazes.

It was not because they coveted it. That piece of leaf was just too extraordinary, so even if one just took a look at it, they would be greatly attracted to it and unable to look away.

"Brother Qi, Brother Wang, Ao Wu, these three are yours."

After putting away the peerless leaf, Shen Tian took three small jars out of his storage ring and passed them to the three of them.

Each small jar was filled with three silver enlightenment leaves and tens of normal enlightenment leaves that had yet to ripen.

The instant they opened the cap, the smell of tea fragrance filled the air and cleared one's mind, allowing one to almost enter the state of "enlightenment".

Qi Shaoxuan held the small jar in his hands. Although it was really as light as a feather, he felt that the jar was as heavy as Mount Taishan.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "These are Brother Shen's gains. How could you just give them to me for nothing?"

Although Wang Shenxu stared at those three small jars eagerly, he was also unwilling to be outdone. Thus, he said, "Even he's feeling embarrassed, all the more so that I cannot accept such a supreme treasure for nothing."

Ao Wu, on the other hand, had already given up. "Brother Shen, I'll accept these leaves. I'll tell my father to give you treasures in return!"

That's right—as the most favored prince, he could be willful.

Shen Tian smiled and said, "There's no need to stand on ceremony with me. It's because I had been too forceful when plucking the Dragon Source Fruits that the Tree of Enlightenment got frightened and ran away.

"Originally, if the Tree of Enlightenment had not retracted underground, you should have obtained quite the number of leaves.

"Therefore, it's just a token of appreciation for everyone. There's no need to worry. Just take them."

What an excellent explanation!

Shen Tian's words moved the trio to the extreme.

He was a truly modest gentleman! There was nothing more to ask for if one had such a friend!

The three of them felt resigned and put away their enlightenment leaves under Shen Tian's persistent persuading attempts.

At the same time, the three of them secretly swore to themselves that they would definitely return this favor as long as they lived!

Of course, whether or not they would have the chance to do so... only the heavens knew!

As for just how many enlightenment leaves Shen Tian had kept for himself, the three of them made the wise decision of not asking.

Firstly, it was because such a topic was too sensitive. Thus, they could not anyhow ask to avoid suspicion.

Secondly, the three of them thought that if they truly asked such a thing, their self-confidence might suffer a tragic blow.

As such, it was better for them to hold their curiosity so as to not go looking for frustration themselves.

The two divine trees completely disappeared underground, and the Yin-Yang Two Eyes domain also started to weaken.

The ground seemed desolate and barren under the moonlight.

No one would ever be able to imagine that there were two peerless divine trees present in this land just a moment ago.

"Now, where should we go?"

Wang Shenxu looked toward Shen Tian in curiosity.

Shen Tian looked relaxed with his eyes closed.

The feeling of his providence increasing was comfortable. It was even better than going to massage parlors to listen to music and enjoy massages.

He glanced at Qi Shaoxuan, Wang Shenxu, and Ao Wu's heads before smiling and saying, "We've had quite a fruitful gain in this mystic realm. Since the other Drakes and Dragons are all in their lairs, refusing to come out, it will be difficult to find other treasures.

"How about we return to the Eternal Thearch's mystic realm and brew a few cups of enlightenment tea with these freshly plucked tea leaves?

"Just nicely, Brother Wang could also have a deeper understanding of the Eternal Life Sutra and restore his lifespan as soon as possible."

Wang Shenxu's eyes lit up. "Brother Shen is right!"

Not only could the enlightenment tea improve one's aptitude for enlightenment permanently, but its effects would also be increased several times in the short period after one drank the tea.

Some people originally had outstanding enlightenment abilities, so they might even be able to enter the enlightenment state after drinking the enlightenment tea. At the same time, their aptitude for enlightenment would increase by 10 times.

Although such a state would not last for long, it was enough for Wang Shenxu's proficiency in the Eternal Life Sutra to increase greatly.

At that thought, Wang Shenxu hurriedly took out a small bag of herbs. He excitedly said, "These are the 3,000-year-old Blood Ginseng, Wolfberry, Mulberry, and Solomon's Seal. Brother Shen could brew the tea with these herbs if you don't mind."

Shen Tian's mouth twitched slightly. He smiled and said, "Cough, cough... I think it's better to keep them for yourself!"

You must be joking! Why would I need such things? My body is perfectly healthy!

The taste will be too extreme if they are added to the enlightenment tea.

Do you think it's Ginseng Five Treasures Tea!?

After confirming their course of actions, Shen Tian and the others arrived at the Eternal Thearch's mystic realm and started brewing the enlightenment tea.

The enlightenment tea was a peerless treasure, especially each tea leaves Shen Tian had plucked. They were all supreme-grade leaves.

Even the normal leaves that were imprinted with incomplete Daos would result in countless Supremacies fighting over them if they were to appear at the grotto-heavens or blessed-lands.

Not to mention those silver mature enlightenment tea leaves. They were simply the best out of all the spirit herbs.

Besides Shen Tian, who could be said to be the most wealthy in the whole Eastern Wilderness or even the five regions, only a few people in the entire cultivation world could take out such tea leaves to serve one's friends so casually.

The enlightenment tea leaves' price was something countless Supremacies' whole fortunes could not even begin to compare.

Shen Tian did not have the habit of drinking tea, so he did not have any high-quality tea set.

Although Wang Shenxu drank tea every day, he drank Five Treasures Tea. Thus, once he took out his tea set, the whole Eternal mystic realm was filled with the smell of wolfberries.

In the end, it was Qi Shaoxuan who contributed a purple supreme-grade Spirit artifact tea set.

Although, in theory, even such a supreme-grade Spirit artifact tea set was totally unworthy of such a level of enlightenment tea—most probably only Divine artifacts were worthy—there were no other tea sets to substitute. Thus, they could only put up with it for now.

Now that they had both the tea leaves and tea set, the water to boil the tea leaves was also equally important.

Supreme-grade spirit spring water would be able to bring out more of the enlightenment tea's effects with the help of spirit flames.

Frankly speaking, such spirit spring water was not easy to find.

In the end, Shen Tian was too lazy to search for it, so he directly took out 500ml of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

Well, even Shen Tian did not know if the tea brewed by the silvery-white Nirvana Holy Liquid was still counted as green tea or milk tea.

However, at least, things wouldn't go wrong by brewing good things together. He's already giving Qi Shaoxuan and the others enough face by serving them such tea.

In fact, it was as Shen Tian had guessed. Qi Shaoxuan and the others had a weird expression when they saw the silvery-white Nirvana Holy Liquid was brewing the silvery-white enlightenment tea leaves.

They were somewhat touched and felt somewhat awkward.

The Divine Devouring Vine's Nirvana Holy Liquid and enlightenment tea were the five regions' most precious treasures. Was it really fine to brew them together like that?

As expected of Brother Shen, having wealth really allows one to be willful!

As the saying goes, "Gifts blind the eyes".

Qi Shaoxuan, Wang Shenxu, and Ao Wu naturally could not say such things while drinking Shen Tian's enlightenment tea.

However, although Shen Tian's brewing tea method was special, when Shen Tian used the maximum output of his Nan Ming Li Fire, and the Nirvana Holy Liquid started boiling, the enlightenment tea leaves really started to spread.

The silver tea leaves started surging within the silver Nirvana Holy Liquid and unleashing their Daos within.

Shen Tian had put a total of four enlightenment tea leaves within, forming four images of a cauldron, bell, mirror, and spear.

After the Nirvana Holy Liquid started boiling, the four tea leaves directly floated in mid-air and seemed to be vaguely gathering the laws that contained profundity.

Suppose Shen Tian and the others were interested. In that case, they might be able to comprehend ancient times' peerless law fragments if they concentrated on sensing those laws when drinking the tea, or even restore certain ancient times' forbidden killing arts.

Of course, the value of those arts paled in comparison to the complete Thearch mystic arts.

"This time, I'll definitely cultivate the Eternal Life Sutra to greater mastery!"

Wang Shenxu drank the enlightenment tea in one shot and only felt that the taste was strange.

It was a little sour, a little sweet, slightly hot, but also had the slight fragrance of tea. The taste was very rich and fulfilling.

At the same time, a ball of powerful energy surged throughout his whole body through Wang Shenxu's meridians.

That was the effect of the Nirvana Holy Liquid. It was replenishing his lifespan as it had sensed his lacking lifeforce.

Meanwhile, another mysterious power followed his meridians and surged toward his soul.

That was the enlightenment tea's special effect. It would be able to increase Wang Shenxu's aptitude by a few times or even up to dozens of times in a short period.

In this short period, even if Wang Shenxu did not try understanding any cultivation technique, his strength could also be enhanced dozens of times.

Even if this short period passed, his enlightenment would also increase by quite a lot permanently. This was also the enlightenment tea's effect that everyone valued the most.

"How's the taste?"

Shen Tian looked at Wang Shenxu nervously as it was the first time he brewed tea.

Shen Tian did not dare to drink the tea before Wang Shenxu drank it. He wanted to ensure that the tea could be brewed like this and would not taste disgusting.

Wang Shenxu narrowed his eyes and looked very comfortable. He had a blissful expression as he smiled and said, "Taste? Hehe, one cup is enough to refresh me. It's delicious!"

After finishing, Wang Shenxu poured another cup for himself as he licked his lips.

Shen Tian was caught between laughter and tears. "Alright, drink more if you think it's delicious. Brother Qi and Ao Wu, drink up too!"

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu exchanged looks. They had no other choice but to pour a cup. They then closed their eyes as they drank it.

Hmm?

Eh? It tastes quite good!

A sour, sweet, fragrant, and crisp taste exploded in their mouths.

The boost to their physical strength and mental concentration only served for them to indulge in the sensation.

Qi Shaoxuan felt as if he had become one with the world in that instant and entered a wonderful, indescribable state.

He could sense that his Dao had become extremely clear, and the cultivation techniques he had learned previously were all listed in front of him. He had numerous new understandings of the cultivation techniques.

Purple aura appeared behind him, and within the endless purple aura, Heavenly Eagles were flying around, and Dragons were soaring in the sky.

The avatars became clearer and larger, each detail becoming even more realistic.

The purple Nascent Soul above his head also slowly grew bigger. In layman's terms, Qi Shaoxuan's cultivation level was increasing rapidly, at an astonishing speed.

As for Ao Wu, he seemed as if he was drunk after drinking the enlightenment tea. He clenched his fists and started punching the air. He was so serious that he seemed quite impressive.

Upon seeing how everyone was so excited, Shen Tian also did not hold back. He poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly. He instantly felt as if his whole body turned warm.

The Tinder Body-Tempering Art and Five Elements' power were crazily absorbing the Nirvana Holy Liquid to refine it to the energy of the same source.

As for that ball of chaotic aura in his dantian, it was quite calm and did not show any signs of snatching the Nirvana Holy Liquid.

When will I be able to control this ball of chaotic aura at will?

At least, if possible, driving the chaotic aura out is okay, too!

It really feels dangerous to leave it in my body like this.

Shen Tian murmured to himself. Everyone knew how fearsome the chaotic aura was—not even Sages would dare to let their guard down.

Shen Tian had obtained bountiful gains, so what if the chaotic aura directly caused his body to remain in Chaotic Star Island? It would be a huge loss!

No! I must return to the City of Bliss after this island's chaotic aura barrier opens.

At least, after I place my treasures on me now to a safe place—

Hmmm!?

He seemed to have set a red flag for himself unconsciously.

Dangerous!

After everyone drank the enlightenment tea, they entered a deep enlightenment state.

Qi Shaoxuan's cultivation level increased dramatically. He also glanced at the Eternal Life Sutra and learned this mystic art in secret.

Meanwhile, Wang Shenxu directly lay down in front of the Black Tortoise Tablet. He kept on stretching out and drawing back his head in the hope of being able to finish learning the Eternal Life Sutra.

Only then could he completely avoid the awkward situation of not having enough lifespan to sacrifice!

Time passed gradually in such a harmonious and fulfilling process. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Shen Tian and others had already been waiting near the chaotic aura barrier for it to open long ago. Seven to eight months had already passed since Chaotic Star Island had opened, after all.

If they could not leave this time, then they would have to wait another three months.

By then, it would almost be time for the Chaotic Star Island to be sealed again. IF they were lost for some time, then it would be over for them.

Thus, they had to leave earlier and head toward the outer area to be on the safe side.

Rumble!

The chaotic aura barrier finally cracked open.

The four of them flew outside of Dragon God Island like shooting stars.

Behind them, numerous pairs of joyous eyes shined. Those pairs of eyes belonged to none other than the island's Dragons and Drakes.

Those humans have finally left!

Suddenly, a sigh resounded within the island's core area.

It was as if it was a sound from 10,000 years ago.

Chapter 330: Have You Ever Seen A Golden Core As Big As A Watermelon?

The grey-white aura barrier closed up. The massive Dragon God Island was once again immersed in the chaotic aura barrier.

Shen Tian and his team exchanged looks and knowing smiles.

Although they had spent six whole months on Dragon God Island, it was all worth it. They had gained a lot of good stuff from that place.

Dragon Source Fruits, Enlightenment leaves, and that Eternal Life Sutra heritage—these three were enough to greatly enhance their powers and even help boost their own sects.

It should be pointed out that the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had flourished again all because Qi Shaoxuan had found the Nirvana Imperial Sutra.

And the importance of the Eternal Life Sutra was nearly as high as that of the Nirvana Imperial Sutra. In fact, in some ways, it might be even more useful.

In the cultivation world, there were too many techniques that burned up one's life energy.

One could learn a few kamikaze-style techniques as trump cards when faced with mighty opponents with this sutra.

Of course, it was Wang Shenxu who benefited the most from this sutra.

Although Wang Shenxu appeared to be the weakest in the group now, Shen Tian believed that given some time to replenish his lifespan, he would soon transform into a strong and powerful man.

After all, expending one's life in return for executing a technique was not some complicated art. It was not that difficult to reverse the effects.

As long as this fellow kept cultivating the Eternal Life Sutra and expended less of his life energy in the future, he should be able to quickly replenish the lifeforce he had recently lost.

Qi Shaoxuan said, "Since Brother Shen decided to return to the City Of Bliss to recuperate, I will go back with you."

They had been in the Chaotic Star Island domain for over eight months and had already gained quite a good harvest.

They were inside the Chaotic Star Island domain's deepest regions, the riskiest and most dangerous part. If they met with some kind of incident and were trapped in the domain, they might not be able to escape in time.

It was better for them to quit while they were still ahead. They would return to the City of Bliss first to recuperate before going back to the Chaotic Star Island domain's periphery to explore further.

As good as a fortuitous opportunity might be, one had to be alive to enjoy it.

After finishing their discussion, they all decided to follow Shen Tian back to the City of Bliss to recuperate.

One might say it was a discussion, but actually, everyone was just following Shen Tian unconditionally. After all, the other three guys were now utterly convinced of Shen Tian's powers.

It was now implicit knowledge that wherever Brother Shen went, good things would happen.

The Divine Firmament Saint was the luckiest chap in the five regions!

The cultivation levels of the four were considered at the top of their generation. They quickly made their way out of the Chaotic Star Island domain's deeper regions.

Several days later, the massive Chaos Array covering the Chaotic Star Island domain was already within sight.

One could see multiple figures waiting at the periphery through that array. They were the ocean demons who were over 500 years old. They were all staring anxiously into the Chaotic Star Island domain, looking very much like parents waiting for their children to complete an important exam.

"Bubbles, Little Mei, you have made grandmother so worried about you guys!"

"Little turtle, why did you give up so soon? Go in again and try harder!"

"Quickly, look. The Mermaid Princess, Yu Pianxian, is back! She looks even more beautiful than before!"

"She's not the only one. The Seventh Dragon Prince is also back. The core disciples have returned safe and sound from this Chaotic Star Island domain trial."

"Who said they are all safe and sound? Have you forgotten what happened to the Great Void Kun race's prodigy, Kun Ming, two weeks ago?"

"Sigh, you are right. Kun Ming is so pitiful. He is the most powerful practitioner amongst the younger generation in North Sea. But he met with such a wretched end."

"Did you hear? The Great Void Kun race already announced that they are willing to give a Sage-level artifact to anyone who is able to save Kun Ming.

The demons outside the domain were all chatting and gossiping away.

Shen Tian and the rest didn't linger but left Chaotic Star Island immediately.

"Greetings Seventh Prince, Greetings Divine Firmament Saint, Purple Mansion Saint... Eh, who is this old man?"

The nine Soul Formation-level Divine Dragon Guards were waiting outside the Chaotic Star Island domain. They immediately rushed forth upon seeing Ao Wu and the rest emerge.

But they were all staring at Wang Shenxu with strange expressions.

This fellow's hair was completely white, and his face was full of wrinkles and age spots. He did not look like he was below 500 years old at all.

Could he be an illegal trial-taker?

But no one had ever heard of illegal trial-takers in the Chaotic Star Island domain!

If not for the fact that this fellow was together with the Seventh Dragon Prince and Divine Firmament Saint, the Divine Dragon Guards really wanted to capture him back for interrogation.

They would become rich if they could find out how this old man had managed to sneak into the Chaotic Star Island domain.

The corners of Wang Shenxu's lips twitched when he felt the Divine Dragon Guards' piercing stares. He would have killed this bunch of guys if not for the fact that he wasn't able to beat them.

Old man? Can't you tell that I am just in my prime?

Shen Tian just smiled and explained, "This is the Great Void Sacred Ground's Saint. He was accidentally teleported into the Chaotic Star Island domain, and we chanced upon each other."

Accidentally teleported?

Haha, we are not that dumb to believe you.

How can it be that easy to enter the Chaotic Star Island domain?

Nonetheless, since the Divine Firmament Saint was already speaking up for the Great Void Saint, the Divine Dragon Guards could not be bothered to kick up a fuss.

After all, Shen Tian's status in Black Dragon Island was too extraordinary. With Ao Bing as his partner, his seniority was even higher than that of the Black Dragon King.

As long as Shen Tian didn't do anything that would cause severe harm to the Dragon race, everyone on Black Dragon Island had to respect him.

Ao Wu was full of excitement. "Brother Shen, shall we go find my father now, or should we wait until the entire Chaotic Star Island trial is over?"

Shen Tian smiled. "This trial has given me some epiphanies, so I need to enter seclusion for a few days to think through them. If nothing unexpected happens, let's meet at Heavenly Music Parlor in seven days' time. Princess Pianxian, is that okay?"

Shen Tian turned, and Yu Pianxian, who had been staring at him the entire time, immediately blushed.

She became so red that she looked like she had just been fished out of a hotpot.

She quickly said, "Sure, no problem. Brother Shen is welcome any time at the parlor."

Yeap, Brother Shen is also welcome to visit me anytime!

Smiling, Shen Tian bade everyone farewell before morphing into a streak of dazzling golden light. He shot off through the air like a divine Peng.

His speed was very fast. Even a Soul Formation cultivator would be awed.

The Kun Peng Dao paired with the Feather Immortal Metal was too amazing. It was no exaggeration to say that it was the fastest speed on earth.

Shen Tian didn't know that the space near the Chaotic Star Island domain started to vibrate not long after he left.

Multiple men in black robes emerged.

"No mistake, it's the Kun Peng Dao, and a complete version of it."

"I didn't expect him to understand the complete Kun Peng Dao before Young Master. Things are going to get tricky."

"The Divine Firmament Saint and Black Dragon Island are on very good terms. I heard he already signed a Dragon God contract with one of them. It will be too risky to attack him."

"Let's catch up with that fellow first! It will be best if we can come to a mutual agreement. Otherwise, we have no choice but to capture him and then force him to tell us about the Kun Peng Dao."

"The Kun Peng Dao is a legacy left behind by our ancestors. It should come back to our race. If this fellow insists on not telling us, we can't be blamed for using force!"

"But it is still best if we can talk things over peacefully. Otherwise, there will definitely be a conflict between us and the Dragon race."

"If we can really retrieve the greatest legacy of our race, it will all be worth it!"

After this simple discussion, the multiple figures all went back behind the fabrics of space to chase after Shen Tian.

The Great Void Kun race was good at controlling the void. Their main focus was on the "swallowing" mystic arts, but their speed was not bad at all. It was on par with the elite Heavenly Venerables.

They thought that as fast as Shen Tian was, he couldn't possibly be faster than those Heavenly Venerables.

However, they soon discovered that they were wrong.

Shen Tian was only a Golden Body practitioner, but his speed was astonishing.

On top of that, as if he felt that someone was tracking him, Shen Tian suddenly dived into the ocean and burrowed into the sand beneath, disappearing without a trace.

Yes, completely vanishing. Not even a tiny bit of aura left.

It was utterly bizarre.

"How did he suddenly disappear just like that?"

"He's just a Golden Body little punk, but he managed to slip off right before our very eyes. And we are Heavenly Venerables!"

"This kid is so weird. I heard some rumors about him, and they are even more unbelievable than the Purple Mansion Saint's. I heard he had even defeated a Sage before."

"We might have already been detected. Never mind, let's go back to report to the leader. Have him step in."

"Anyway, if all fails, we will just put the pressure on the Silver Octopus race and get back part of the technique first!"

The black-clad men re-emerged and had a vexing discussion. Thereafter, they dived into the ocean and hurried back to the Great Void Kun race's territories.

The sea remained calm and tranquil as before. There were no signs of any aura.

One minute... Two minutes... Ten minutes... An hour... Two hours...

Six hours later, the fabric space rippled again.

Those black-clad men reappeared, all looking very anxious and fretful. "That sly little fox. He still refuses to emerge."

With the heavens as their witness, they really had no intention of killing that kid. Even though they were the Great Void Kun race, they could not bear the consequences of killing that kid. They just wanted to "invite" him back to their territory and then "invite" him to impart their legacy technique back to the Kun race!

They didn't expect this kid to be able to detect their presence and then hide so well!

More importantly, they had already said out loud that they were "going to leave", but this kid still refused to emerge!

Is he really a prodigy of the human race and not the Fox race?

The Kun race elders' emoticon: 999

Meanwhile, 9,000 miles away in a desolated region of the sea...

A figure quietly burrowed out from the ground and appeared on an isolated island.

The island was engulfed in a thick array formation, making it feel as if it existed in a totally different realm.

The man dressed in a white robe smiled as he strolled along the beach. He called out, "A heavenly king trumps a local tyrant."

Another voice echoed through the air. "A pagoda crushes the demon river."

The fabrics of space rippled, and a man emerged on the beach.

He looked heroic in the Longyuan Divine Armor, his whole body radiating with a powerful aura.

In addition, he was wearing a Phoenix Feather Mask and a black-hooded cloak over his armor. His aura was completely concealed!

"Your gains were bountiful."

"That's because you controlled well from afar."

"I have not seen you for more than half a year. Looks like you have become more handsome?"

"You're flattering me. It's because you gave me good genes. But you are still more handsome."

Shen Tian took off his storage ring and gave it to the black-robed man. "Do you want to merge our bodies?"

The black-robed man shook his head. "The chaotic aura inside you is a risk. It's better if we don't merge for now."

Just as the two of them chatted on, a slender figure appeared.

He was dressed in a purple robe and looked extraordinarily elegant as if he was a deity that had descended on earth.

He gazed at Shen Tian and the black-robed man in amusement. "Do you find it meaningful to talk to yourself? How did you get such a weird sense of humor?

"Also, I personally set up this array formation to conceal our auras. Even a Sage would not be able to find you.

"Don't you find it stuffy to wear that mask?"

The black-robed man took off his Phoenix Feather Mask and chuckled. "You should have told me earlier!"

A handsome face was revealed when the mask was removed.

Who else could it be but Shen Tian?

Swoosh!

The waves splashed against the shore as Shen Tian sat cross-legged on a huge stone.

Behind him, the purple-robed Ye Qingcang floated in mid-air. His face was full of shock.

"Enlightenment leaves of this quality actually exist here. Unbelievable! This Chaotic Star Island domain is truly extraordinary!"

Ye Qingcang stroked the jade-like leaves gently and lovingly. "If this was the Celestial World, it would be worth a pretty sum."

Shen Tian asked, "How much exactly?"

Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes at Shen Tian. "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Become a deity first, and I will tell you!"

With that, Ye Qingcang took a deep breath. "This is some good stuff. But we need to brew it first to fully unleash its full powers." He shot Shen Tian a mocking look. "The way you used the Nirvana Holy Liquid to soak those Enlightenment leaves, you are desecrating a precious heavenly treasure."

Shen Tian, "???"

This old man is mocking me!

Ye Qingcang reached out one hand. "Give me 10 leaves. I will have to expend a large amount of soul energy to help you unleash the powers of these Enlightenment tea leaves. You have to make it worth my while."

Shen Tian, "???"

This old man is fleecing me!

Never mind, he is from the Celestial World, after all. He might know some secret method to unleash the powers of these leaves!

"I cannot give you 10. I collected about 20 and can only give you five."

"Five? Do you think I am a fool? When I was at the Celestial World, we had Enlightenment tea leaves galore!"

"Six. That's the highest I can go. This price is my limit!"

"Nine. Without me, you will lose at least half the effectiveness of those leaves."

"Seven. Otherwise, I will brew them myself!"

"Eight!"

"Deal."

Shen Tian handed over eight Enlightenment tea leaves. He looked at Ye Qingcang with anticipation. He wanted to see just how to fully unleash the powers of those tea leaves.

"Look carefully. I am starting now."

Ye Qingcang formed a hand seal and exuded a faint silver light, which possessed a wondrous aura. He infused the seal into the peerless leaf, which immediately erupted in multiple rays of light.

But in the next second, the light rays disappeared. Everything looked exactly the same as before.

Huff!

Ye Qingcang breathed out and arranged his sleeves.

Shen Tian was still completely focused. "Old Man Ye, are we starting yet?"

Ye Qingcang shook his head. "It has already ended."

Shen Tian, "???"

That's all?

If not for the fact he couldn't defeat him, Shen Tian would have lifted that old man up by the beard to beat him.

It was just a one-second hand seal. How much soul energy could you have expended!

He just felt that this old man was not too reliable.

Glaring at Ye Qingcang, Shen Tian took back the peerless leaf. "Are you sure it has already ended?"

Ye Qingcang nodded. "Yes, I have already unleashed the peerless leaf's power. You just need to chew and swallow it."

Chew and swallow? Are you sure that's how people in the Celestial World drink their tea?

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. The Executing Heaven Sword inside him vibrated wildly.

Ye Qingcang chuckled. "Calm down, don't think that I am just pulling your leg.

"The other Enlightenment tea leaves you have are more normal. Just soak them in a supreme-grade spirit spring, and you can unleash their powers.

"But this peerless leaf is an extraordinary treasure. There's no spirit spring across the five regions that is good enough for it. It is a waste to use any kind of water here to brew it.

"Under such circumstances, brewing it would just dissipate its powers. It is better to just chew and swallow.

"Anyway, you have a very weird constitution. You look like you can digest anything.

"Don't worry, go ahead and try! I will never ask you to do something harmful to yourself!"

After shooting Ye Qingcang a dubious look, Shen Tian eventually placed the peerless leaf in his mouth and chewed it.

Crackle!

A crisp, fragrant feeling spread throughout Shen Tian's mouth. The tea leaf was very crispy, like a potato chip.

As the peerless leaf was ingested into his belly, Shen Tian erupted in a dazzling silver light.

He felt light and airy all over as if he had entered into a miraculous state. All material things in this world seemed to disappear before his eyes.

As Shen Tian chewed the leaf carefully, dazzling light shot out of his eyes, as if he could see through all of the most profound and amazing techniques in this world.

A boundless avatar appeared behind him.

Divines beasts danced about, baring their teeth and fangs. Swords pierced through the skies. A sacred dragon flew through the air summoning the wind and rain. Rainbow Divine Light filled the skies. A massive Black Tortoise performed a sword dance...

As Shen Tian continued to chew, the various avatar images became even bigger and clearer, as if they were becoming real.

It was clear that this meant that Shen Tian's understanding of those techniques was rapidly improving. He had already advanced into a wondrous enlightenment stage. He was able to probe into the most basic foundations of all the techniques with this peerless leaf.

So much so that it was like Shen Tian himself had merged into one with the techniques.

"Silver beams shooting out of his eyes, body merging with the techniques. Could this be the Connate Constitution?"

The corners of Ye Qingcang's mouth twitched. "What kind of constitution does this guy actually have? He managed to attain the Divine Sword Constitution after eating a few Sword Heart Fruits. And now he gained the Connate Constitution after eating an Enlightenment leaf. What do the rest of us have left to live for?"

Connate Constitution, naturally gifted, able to see through all the techniques in the world just by watching with his own two eyes—this was the rarest constitution in the entire Celestial World.

It was enough to astonish an entire generation!

As Ye Qingcang looked on dumbfounded, Shen Tian stuffed the final bit of the peerless leaf into his mouth.

Rumble!

A pomelo-sized Golden Core rose above Shen Tian's head. It shone with a golden light, casting the entire island in a dazzling glow.

The Golden Core was enlarging at a very fast pace as if it had been given a shot of adrenaline.

Mhmm!

Have you ever seen a Golden Core the size of a watermelon?

What about one that was as big as a winter melon!?
