Chapter 331: Do You Know How Fierce His Masters Are

Abyss of Despair, the territory of the North Sea Kun race...

There were massive deep abysses all over this area, completely untouched by any sunlight.

The Great Void Kun race lived there, commanding several tens of thousands of miles across this region.

In North Sea, the Great Void Kun race's status was akin to Black Dragon Island's. It would even be considered on par with a premium sacred ground in Eastern Wilderness.

"Father, I am in such pain!

"How did things end up like this? Just let me die!

"Kun Peng Dao, Kun Peng Dao. It was right before my eyes, but I...

"I was late. The power of that jade cliff was spent, and I could gain nothing from it. It's too difficult. Just too difficult!"

A figure floated in a ten-feet tall fish tank.

It was the size of an adult human and covered in black fish scales. But instead of having a fish head, its head was that of a bird.

Tears were streaming down its face, which merged with the spirit liquid in the tank.

A majestic-looking middle-aged man in a black robe was standing before that fish tank. He exuded a faint glow all over.

He stood there nonchalantly as if he was one with the space around him but pristine and untouchable.

This person was the current leader of the Great Void Kun race—Kun Xu.

In the history of the leaders of the Great Void Kun race, Kun Xu was considered one of the most elite.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to become a Sage before the age of 2,000. He was also one of the top Sages.

He would not have been able to suppress the many other prodigies in the Kun race and take firm control of the throne. It should be pointed out that the Kun race was not an easy race to govern.

The Kun King gazed into the tank. His only son and the most powerful Kun race prodigy was inside—Kun Ming.

Kun Ming had entered the Chaotic Star Island domain several months earlier and discovered the legendary Kun Peng Temple and Kun Peng Dao.

This was supposed to be a good thing, but someone had gotten to the Kun Peng Jade Cliff first. This was the cliff that held the Kun Peng Dao. Its powers had been nearly spent.

What was left was not even enough to whet one's appetite.

It wouldn't have been such a big deal if it was someone else.

However, as the young master of the Great Void Kun race, Kun Ming was exceptionally keen on the Kun Peng Dao.

He had sat in front of Kun Peng Jade Cliff for several months, forcing himself to understand the Kun Peng Dao.

In the end, he had tried to force himself to transcend into a Peng but ended up deviating down the wrong path and turning into a fish-eagle.

Yeap, he could also be called a bird-Kun.

It would be unfair to say that Kun Ming's transformation attempt had been an utter failure. After all, the transformation from a giant Kun into a Peng should indeed start from the head and then gradually spread across the entire body. Kun Ming's first step was correct.

Unfortunately, his understanding of the Kun Peng Dao was just too crude. He had ended up only transforming the head.

Even worse was the fact that he could not turn back into a full Kun. He had to continue living in this half-fish, half-bird state.

This was the traumatizing part!

Kun Ming could use camouflage techniques to turn himself back into human form.

However, when fighting or when someone used a probing technique to look at him, his true form would be revealed.

A Kun with a large chicken head just didn't make for good aesthetics.

I am the young master of the Great Void Kun race. I have an image to upkeep! Where to hide my face if news of this gets out?

"Father, what should I do? Am I going to look like this forever?"

The corners of the Kun King's lips twitched as he watched the teary-eyed Kun Ming.

He had already taken out his precious spirit liquid to let his son soak inside it. He hoped to make use of its power to help Kun Ming break through that barrier and successfully transform into a full Peng.

It was now clear that it was not going to work.

Transforming from Kun to Peng was not just a matter of power.

Multiple other nuances had to be grasped before it would be successful. Only the Peng Transformation Chapter in the Kun Peng Dao explained those nuances.

And Kun Ming was now in dire straits because of his failure to comprehend the complete Kun Peng Dao.

At this moment, the fabrics of space vibrated, and several figures emerged.

They were the Kun elders that had been following Shen Tian previously. Failure was written all over their faces.

"Greetings, Leader. We have already found out who was the person who comprehended the entire Kun Peng Dao before Young Master."

"Oh?" The Kun King turned around, his profound eyes sparkling. "Who?"

One of the elders said, "Outside the Chaotic Star Island domain, we witnessed the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, executing the Kun Peng Dao as he left.

"A pity this kid is very cunning. He performed some kind of aura-concealing technique and has stayed hidden under the sea bed for several days. He has yet to emerge.

"We waited to no avail and had no choice but to return and report to you first."

Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Divine Firmament Saint?

Kun Xu's aura rippled. "Is that Chu Longhe's and Zhang Longyuan's disciple?"

Another elder nodded. "Yes. He is the disciple of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan. He is just a Saint from Eastern Wilderness but dared to come to North Sea and steal our Kun Peng Dao. Leader, should we just go ahead and..."

The elder made a slashing motion across his neck.

The corners of the Kun King's mouth twitched as his face darkened. "Fool, do you know just how powerful his backers are?"

The elder didn't understand. "Doesn't he just have that Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe?

"Chu Longhe's powers have been nullified, and Zhang Longyuan is just a new Sage. We have so many Sages in our race. There's no reason for us to be afraid of him.

"Leader, didn't you once fight Zhang Longyuan over seven days and seven nights, with no one emerging the clear winner? If we can get back this Kun Peng Dao, your powers will be greatly enhanced, and you can—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the elder was interrupted by a cold snort.

"Shut up!"

The Kun King had his hands crossed behind his back, with a stern and regal expression on his face.

"The Kun race is one of the most powerful and respected races in North Sea. How can we stoop to such low and despicable actions?

"It would be fine if Kun Ming personally fought Shen Tian and defeated him to retrieve the Kun Peng Dao. That would be honorable.

"But if you bunch of Mighty Prowess elders intervened and ended up killing that kid to retrieve the Kun Peng Dao, we would become the entire five regions' laughingstocks."

The elder looked unconvinced. "But the Kun Peng Dao is of high importance. Exceptions can be made as long as we can get our hands on it."

Kun Xu humphed. "Nothing is more important than the Kun race's pride and dignity. Not even the Kun Peng Dao."

With that, a massive giant Kun avatar flared up behind Kun Xu.

A surging mighty aura swept across the area for tens of thousands of miles. Countless ocean creatures shivered in fear.

He said calmly, "I hereby decree that the Kun race and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground are to remain on friendly terms. The Divine Firmament Saint is a friend of mine, and he is to be treated as a valued guest in North Sea.

"Make it publicly known that I am officially inviting the Divine Firmament Saint to the Abyss of Despair as my guest. All North Sea races will bear witness to my good intentions.

"If we are going to retrieve the Kun Peng Dao, we must do it in the right and proper manner."

It was clear that Kun Xu was young, but his words bore significant authority in the Great Void Kun race.

After he issued his decree, some of those elders remained unconvinced—even so, they had no choice but to take their leave and go make the necessary preparations.

After all the elders left, Kun Ming spoke up. "Father is wise. Are you planning an ambush in the Abyss of Despair?"

Kun Xu snorted. "What ambush? Why do you always get all sorts of silly ideas in your head?

"You have not even reached the Mighty Prowess realm, and you are already trying to vie with others. I just turned my back for a minute, and you ended up getting into a tiff with the Divine Firmament Saint.

"Do you know just how powerful the backers of this Divine Firmament Saint are?"

Kun Ming pursed his lips. "He's a mere human Saint. He was able to get to the Kun Peng Dao just one step ahead of me by a stroke of luck. What's so great about him?

"If not for the fact that I cannot show my face now because of my failed transformation, I can easily defeat him."

The Kun King smirked. "You are such an unfortunate kid. Your head has turned into a bird, but your brains remain just as foolish."

The Kun King took out a jade pendant. "I especially got our spies at the Silver Octopus race and Dragon race to get information about this Divine Firmament Saint. Take a look at it yourself."

The Kun King's face revealed a grave expression. "Look carefully. The Divine Firmament Saint, also called the number one most handsome man in Eastern Wilderness. He is 16 years old. He was born in some country in the mortal world.

"He had been a jinx since a young age, but several months ago, his luck suddenly turned. He is now like a son blessed and favored by the Heavenly Dao.

"Opened a Spirit Ore and found the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground'σ long-lost forbidden Decalamity chapter.

"Entered a Primordial Battlefield and retrieved the renowned God of War Pagoda.

"Do you know what this is? He is destined to rise to great heights. He is the true Son of Providence."

The corners of Kun Ming's lips twitched. He pouted. "Is he really that great? Father, you think too highly of this fellow!"

The Kun King snorted. "How in the world did I give birth such a brainless son like you?"

The Kun King continued. "Look carefully. After Shen Tian joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, what happened to all those who opposed him?

"The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's First Senior Brother, Fang Chang, opposed him and ended up damaging his Golden Core.

"The Big Dipper Saint, Chen Zhongtian, opposed him and nearly destroyed his Nascent Soul.

"The Purple Mansion Saint, Qi Shaoxuan, also once opposed him. In the end, he was defeated by Shen Tian in just one move right in public. He cracked his core after arriving at North Sea, and his Nascent Soul was nearly suffocated to death by his own Golden Core.

"All these incidents. Now take another look at your current state. Do you see a pattern here?"

Gong!

The Kun King's words were like a divine gong ringing right beside Kun Ming's ears.

His face darkened. "Don't tell me that my current state is a result of his devious plotting?"

The corners of the Kun King's mouth twitched as he restrained himself from strangling his stupid son. "Please try to use that foolish brain of yours.

"You are the one who tried to force the transformation and ended up failing. He was nowhere near you. How could he have been behind it? This is due to a clash in providence!"

The Kun King held his forehead, feeling very exasperated. "Every golden era will have a number of significant characters who will be well-loved by the Heavenly Dao. They will possess extraordinary talent and providence.

"Qi Shaoxuan is one, and you are also one. But there are also different grades among this favored group.

"To give a simple analogy, if you and Qi Shaoxuan are like the Heavenly Dao's godsons, Shen Tian is like the biological son.

"When a godson fights with the biological son, who do you think the Heavenly Dao will side with?"

Kun Ming, "..."

Kun Ming gasped and felt like his father had opened his eyes to a brand new outlook.

He stared at the Kun King in disbelief. "Don't tell me I have no choice but to bow down my head before that human Saint?"

The Kun King stared at Kun Ming like he was a simpleton.

He smirked. "What's wrong with that? The demon races refuse to admit it, but the human race is indeed the race the Heavenly Dao favors.

"The Kun race is powerful beyond comparison and can suppress many of the human race's sacred grounds.

"But so what? Does this mean we can go against the entire human race?

"No. And not just for our Kun race. Even the ancient Dragons, Phoenixes, and the pure-blooded Kun Pengs are far from enough.

"We don't know why, but the Heavenly Court collapsed in ancient times, and the human race split into their various sacred grounds.

"Nonetheless, the Heavenly Dao's favoritism of the human race has always been there, and it has always surpassed that of the other races.

"Don't forget that the most powerful race across the five regions now is the human race.

"Shen Tian has the rarest type of potential in the human race. He is destined for great things. It is perfectly normal for him to have powerful providence. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

As he observed the Kun King, Kun Ming felt like his father looked somewhat dejected.

He felt a little heavy himself. It was as if his long-held pride and arrogance were on the brink of collapse.

The Kun King noticed the change in his son's emotional state. He smiled comfortingly. "I know you have always been a proud person. You feel that you are the most powerful prodigy in North Sea.

"But my child, you must understand that the five regions are a much bigger world than our North Sea alone.

"Why did the giant Kuns want to morph into Pengs? It was to escape the constraints of the ocean and enter the greater world. To explore the skies beyond.

"If you keep clinging onto your 'Top Prodigy in North Sea' status, you will just end up being a frog at the bottom of the well.

"Without the heart of a true Peng, even if you have the complete Kun Peng Dao, how will you be able to turn into a Peng?

"Only if you put down those things weighing you down, can you then seek to fly higher."

Put down those things weighing me down? Do you mean pride?

Kun Ming gazed at his father. He suddenly felt like he was staring at a stranger.

Was this still the father who had impulsively cried out, "The reputation of our Great Void Kun race cannot be blasphemed in this manner" right in front of those humans?

The father who had dared to stand toe-to-toe with the Black Dragon King? He was now so fearful of a mere Divine Firmament Saint?

Even more puzzling was the fact that after listening to the Kun King's description of Shen Tian and looking at the latter's history, Kun Ming himself also felt a rising panic.

After all, the stories about Shen Tian were indeed rather hair-raising.

All those who were subservient to him managed to make extraordinary progress in their cultivation journey.

For the current Chaotic Star Island domain trial, Yu Pianxian and the four great princes had benefited greatly. Not to mention Ao Wu and Qi Shaoxuan.

He heard that they had returned to Black Dragon Island right after leaving the Chaotic Star Island domain and presented some earth-shattering treasure.

Meanwhile, all those who opposed him had fallen into some kind of misfortune or another.

Even the Evil Spirit Sect's Sage had fallen in his hands and had been imprisoned in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

This fellow was indeed something else.

Kun Ming seemed to have thought of something. "Father, why do you have so much information about Shen Tian?"

The Kun King looked a bit uncomfortable. "Ahem, I just randomly decided to do a simple background check."

Haha, why do I have so much information about Shen Tian?

Don't you remember who the masters of this fellow are? Those two punks caused such a major ruckus in North Sea in their time. You were not even born yet!

His masters were so fierce, so cunning, so malicious...

Haha, if only you knew!

Chapter 332: Even All Paragons Need To Bow Before Me

The Kun King enjoyed high prestige in the Great Void Kun race.

The whole Kun race in North Sea started taking action with one order.

At least, on the City of Bliss' bulletin board, a notice pasted clearly invited the Divine Firmament Saint to the Abyss of Despair.

Naturally, North Sea's races learned about this "open and aboveboard" invitation, or it could be said that the Kun King never thought of hiding.

In an instant, the whole North Sea was influenced by the Kun race's invitation toward Shen Tian.

"It's a treacherous plot, definitely a treacherous plot!"

"Who in North Sea doesn't know that the Great Void Kun race's young master likes Yu Pianxian? However, Yu Pianxian's relationship with the Divine Firmament Saint is ambiguous. Why would the Great Void Kun race suddenly invite the Divine Firmament Saint? Hehe, they're most likely going to deal with him!"

"Is the Great Void Kun race so arrogant? The Divine Firmament Saint is the human partner of a certain mighty Dragon. That fellow's status in Black Dragon Island is extraordinary!"

"If the Great Void Kun race really dares to make a move against the Divine Firmament Saint, Black Dragon Island and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will most likely not agree!"

"That might not be the case. I heard that the Divine Firmament Saint comprehended the complete Kun Peng Dao in the Chaotic Star Island domain. That's definitely a core heritage to the Great Void Kun race."

"If it's for the Kun Peng Dao, it's nothing strange no matter what the Kun race does."

The whole North Sea was involved in the matter between Shen Tian and the Kun race. Naturally, the Dragon race would not stay aloof and be indifferent.

In the Dragon King Palace, the Black Dragon King, Ao Ye, was cultivating cross-legged. He held a Dragon Source Fruit in his hands. Qi Shaoxuan had given it to him, and Ao Ye had given him a pseudo-Divine artifact.

It was an extremely worthy exchange, especially for Ao Ye. If he could perfectly absorb this Dragon Source Fruit, then Ao Ye's bloodline could become a Rank-8 or even a Rank-9 one.

By then, his strength could reach another new level.

Qi Shaoxuan is indeed a sensible kid. I was right to entrust Ao Wu in his care. Of course, my foresight cannot be compared to Aunt Ao Bing's.

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu had returned from Chaotic Star Island a few days ago. They had contacted Ao Ye immediately and recounted everything about the Dragon Source Tree.

Ao Ye had been completely dumbstruck back then.

The Divine Firmament Saint had plucked dozens of fruits from the Dragon Source Tree and even that top-most Dragon Source Fruit?

Oh my Dragon God!

Just how crazy is this piece of information?

If our Dragon Island could really obtain those fruits, improving three to four bloodlines to Rank-9 and dozens of bloodlines to Rank-9 could be easily done.

By then, once they cultivate for a period, the strength of the top practitioners of Black Dragon Island will increase greatly by a few times at least.

One should know that Black Dragon Island was already the most powerful force in North Sea, so if their strength increased by a few times, even the Southern Border's Phoenixes would pale in comparison.

"Sigh... Divine Firmament Saint! Where did you go this time? Hurry and come back! I miss you so much!"

Ao Ye held the Dragon Source Fruit and carefully absorbed the source energy within.

Qi Shaoxuan had plucked this Dragon Source Fruit, so its quality was slightly inferior to Ao Wu's. Therefore, Ao Ye had to use every bit of energy meticulously.

On the other hand, Ao Wu had directly eaten that high-quality Dragon Source Fruit in no time and gone to sleep after eating Black Dragon Island's stage-advancement pill.

If nothing went wrong, Ao Wu would most likely be able to become Black Dragon Island's second Rank-9 Black Dragon in the past 10,000 years after sleeping for about half a month.

This lazy panda-like Dragon that loved to wheedle was heading toward the peak of his life after riding on Shen Tian's coattails.

It's simply unreasonable!

That made Ao Ye think of Shen Tian all the more.

"Dragon King!

A Divine Dragon Guard's voice suddenly echoed outside the Dragon King Palace.

A powerful Divine Dragon Guard in black armor and emitting the aura of a Mighty Prowess practitioner appeared.

He bowed when he saw Ao Ye.

"Reporting to the Dragon King, there's news from the City of Bliss. The Great Void Kun race has sent out an invitation to the Divine Firmament Saint. They have publicly announced that they're inviting the Divine Firmament Saint to enter the Abyss of Despair."

The Kun race? What are they planning this time?

Ao Ye frowned, but he understood after pondering for a moment.

Ao Ye also knew that Shen Tian and the others had comprehended the Kun Peng Dao in the Chaotic Star Island domain.

Even Ao Wu had also comprehended part of the Kun Peng Dao and had benefited greatly.

However, no matter what, the Kun Peng Dao was one of the Kun Peng race's ancient origin arts, and the Great Void Kun race was one of the Kun Peng race's direct descendants.

Now that the complete Kun Peng Dao has appeared, the Kun race couldn't give it up!

Ao Ye's eyes seemed to darken.

"What do they mean by directly inviting the Divine Firmament Saint to enter the Abyss of Despair? It can't be that Kun Xu wants to have another fight with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader after 1,000 years to see who's stronger?"

Ao Ye was not worried that the Great Void Kun race would kill Shen Tian. Although Kun Xu was young, he was not stupid.

Shen Tian had an extraordinary status. Thus, if something really happened to him, even the Kun race would not be able to shoulder the consequences.

Nonetheless, the Kun race was prideful. What if they confined and threatened Shen Tian on impulse? Then how could Ao Ye account for Shen Tian before his aunt, Ao Bing?

"Kun race! The Kun race always causes troubles!"

Ao Ye sighed before instantly transforming into a 100,000-feet-long black dragon and flying away.

That's right! He wanted to meet the Kun King in advance to keep each other informed and avoid anything unpleasant from happening.

The Divine Firmament Saint's status and the bargaining chips he had were just too important to the Dragon race.

Even as the Black Dragon King and one of the existences with the highest status and authority in the five regions, Ao Ye had no other choice but to help clean up his "uncle's" mess.

At the same time, on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Sacred Leader Mountain...

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was enshrouded by lightning and heavenly aura. He looked as dignified and majestic as before.

He held an ancient book that was made of unknown beast skin, and there were seven mysterious ancient seal words on the book's cover.

I'm really not the Son of Providence!

This was the ancient book that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had obtained from a certain Primordial Tomb when he was young. It was the burial object of a certain Thearch.

There were just too many legendary feats of peerless prodigies during the Primordial Period recorded within.

Those feats were simply inconceivable.

What did Primordial mean?

The Ancient Age was 10,000 years ago, the Primordial Age was 100,000 years ago, and the Antiquity Age was 1,000,000 years ago.

The Antiquity Age's history could not be verified anymore, and even the numerous legends before the Primordial Age had already been lost long ago.

The biography of the people in the book I'm really not the Son of Providence astonished even a prodigy as talented as the Sacred Leader.

In that ancient book were recorded 108 Primordial Age Sons of Providence.

When those people had been born, an extraordinary phenomenon had occurred, and the whole cultivation world had paid attention to them ever since.

Some had been born with polycoria and could see through illusions, while others had the potential to become Sages.

Some others had had Ancient Great Void Mirrors when born and knew the Great Void art. Thus, they were called Sons of the Great Void.

After stepping on the Reze Behemoth's footprint, some mothers had become pregnant, and endless Divine Lightning had filled the sky on the day of birth.

The avatars of Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins had appeared on some people's day of birth, and the demons in the vicinity had to bow down and worship them as if they were welcoming the Demon Emperor.

The process of the Sons of Providence's growth was also worthy of the extraordinary phenomena that appeared during their birth. After all, they could easily surpass those so-called "elders of the same sect" or "talented Seniors".

When they headed to mystic realms searching for treasures, the treasures that other people put their hearts and souls into searching but to no avail would appear in front of them willingly.

Not only would they not suffer from Qi Deviation when cultivating incomplete, dangerous, or useless primordial mystic arts, but they could instead create a new paragon Dao belonging to themselves.

Even if they were chased by powerful enemies and fell into forbidden lands, they would be able to encounter new fortuitous opportunities. Thus, they would be able to take their revenge after increasing their strength.

Those 108 Sons of Providence were the synonym of "unreasonable"!

What was more unbelievable was that those 108 Sons of Providence had all been born in a certain generation.

That generation was 490,000 years ago, and it was said to be the most flourishing generation after the Antiquity Age.

Those 108 peerless prodigies had worked together and ruled over the five regions and eight wilderness. They had even taken the initiative to go out to battle, creating an unprecedented outstanding force.

That's right—that force's name was Heavenly Court!

The Heavenly Court had consisted of humans, demons, and half-human half-demons, and they had all had astonishing talent.

According to rumors, one of those 108 peerless prodigies had written the I'm really not the Son of Providence book.

As for why this prodigy had named the book as such, even though his providence had been shocking, the reason was extremely simple. It's because the life of those 108 Sons of Providence and their strength would pale in comparison to a certain forbidden existence.

That forbidden existence was only mentioned twice at the end of this book. There were no detailed examples, or it could be said that it was not left behind.

That was because the second half of the book had directly been torn away.

It was as if the feats recorded in the book's second half were overly astonishing that they were not allowed to be passed down to the future generation.

The Sacred Leader only knew that the forbidden existence was named Celestial Thearch. This book's author talked about him with supreme respect.

As for this Celestial Thearch's description, only one sentence was recorded in the ancient book—All Paragons would need to bow when meeting the Thearch!

How domineering!

"Sigh... How I wish I was born in the Primordial Age and met that forbidden existence."

The lightning and heavenly aura surrounding the Sacred Leader swayed gently. Even though he had already read this book countless times, he could still feel ardor and zeal coursing through his blood each time he read it again.

Just the 108 Sons of Providence's legends were already unparalleled.

It was difficult to imagine just how talented the Celestial Thearch must have been for them to submit to him.

I wonder how Tian'er's providence is as compared to those 108 Paragons. Whose providence is higher?

The Sacred Leader suddenly had this thought when flipping through the ancient book.

"However, according to the ancient book, the five regions seemed to have suffered an indescribable catastrophe 490,000 years ago. That Celestial Thearch and those 108 Paragons were the ones that faced that tribulation.

"When the Evil Spirits invaded the five regions 10,000 years ago, countless talented prodigies were also born in the human and demon race. Even Huang Shi appeared to prevent the invasion."

The Sacred Leader's heavenly aura fluctuated lightly.

"Now that talented prodigies are appearing in the various sacred grounds... Is it possible that chaos will ensue again?"

Just as the Sacred Leader was deep in thought, his Sacred Leader Token suddenly vibrated.

"Eh, it's Kun Xu? Why is he looking for me?"

Chapter 333: Dragon Emperor Constitution, Golden Body Seventh Refinement stage

Even as all the North Sea races were being deeply affected by Shen Tian, he remained extremely calm.

After ingesting the peerless Enlightenment tea leaf, Shen Tian's physical body once again underwent mysterious changes.

As Ye Qingcang had mentioned, he seemed to have awakened a special Connate Constitution.

This kind of constitution had a powerful ability to understand all sorts of Daos from across the world.

Even amongst the various elite constitutions in the Celestial World, the Connate Constitution belonged in the top rungs. It could suppress an entire generation.

And this was not the first time that Shen Tian had awakened a special constitution. Previously, he had consumed the Sword Heart Fruit and awakened the Divine Sword Constitution.

As Ye Qingcang had mentioned, "This kid is truly something else!"

Of course, it was a good thing to be able to awaken the Connate Constitution. It was such a powerful tool.

Shen Tian went through all the techniques he had learned after awakening his Connate Constitution. He realized that his understanding of those techniques had deepened.

It was like his entire brain was so enlightened that he could grasp the key profound concepts of any technique.

He had an intelligence that enabled him to know anything with just a mere glance!

But now, Shen Tian was feeling a little exasperated. He felt that the rest of those normal Enlightenment tea leaves he had collected were not that useful for him anymore.

Why?

The reason was simple. Let us use homework as an analogy.

Before this, Shen Tian was an elementary school kid trying to understand middle school homework. And the normal Enlightenment tea leaves were like a middle-school teacher.

But after consuming the peerless Enlightenment tea leaf and awakening his Connate Constitution, Shen Tian's level of understanding was now akin to that of a university professor.

It was just too easy for him to understand those techniques now. There was no challenge at all!

It was pointless for him to consume the rest of the Enlightenment tea leaves now.

Sigh... It's not always a good thing to be too talented.

Shen Tian slowly stood up and took out the reddish-gold peerless Dragon Source Fruit.

This peerless fruit's value was comparable to that of the peerless Enlightenment tea leaf. After all, it came from the same place.

And to the Dragon race, this peerless fruit's value was beyond all comparison.

The Dragon race would probably be willing to give up half their treasure horde in exchange for that peerless fruit.

Even a fool knew that just by consuming that peerless fruit, the Black Dragon race would be able to produce a true, indomitable practitioner.

By then, even the Southern Border Immortal Phoenix Queen would not be able to suppress the Dragon race anymore.

The Dragon race would flourish again and become one of the world's top powers!

It was a pity that this peerless fruit was also useful to Shen Tian.

Ever since Shen Tian had started practicing the Tinder Sutra, his physical body had started acting very strangely. It would have strong, passionate desires for extraordinary items.

Even a normal Dragon Source Fruit and normal Enlightenment tea leaf would trigger such desires in Shen Tian.

And the two supreme-level peerless leaf and fruit ignited an even stronger and more intense yearning in him.

This meant that the peerless leaf and fruit were very useful to Shen Tian.

And the reality was just as Shen Tian expected. He successfully awakened his Connate Constitution after ingesting the peerless tea leaf.

Shen Tian was very curious about what would happen after he swallowed that peerless fruit!

"The other 30-plus superior-grade Dragon Source Fruits should be enough for Sister Bing and the rest. I will help myself to this peerless fruit then!"

Shen Tian was no virtuous, holy saint. He could not possibly just give away his own fruit.

While staring at the fruit, which looked like just a tiny sun, he carefully started to peel it.

Suddenly, boundless energy swirled around the fruit as dragon roars echoed through the air. Even space itself seemed to have frozen.

Roar!

The Dragon Source Fruit's flesh was slowly revealed. It looked a bit like lychee, but its flesh was more transparent.

This peerless fruit was not that small. Even after having its skin peeled off, it was still about the size of a football.

And in the center of that transparent flesh was a reddish-gold seed shaped like a dragon.

One could even see its dragon's mane and every single scale clearly.

"That peerless leaf and this peerless fruit must have been the top legacies of those two divine trees."

Ye Qingcang's eyes shone. A green bean-sized seed suddenly appeared in his hand. "If you plant them somewhere with adequate Spirit Qi, they might grow into a new Tree of Enlightenment and Dragon Source Tree."

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. "So, where did you get that seed from?"

Ye Qingcang looked a bit uncomfortable. "Ahem. One of the leaves from the Tree of Enlightenment had a 'tea seed'.

"You are such an ignorant person that you didn't even realize that someone secretly took a leaf that had a tea seed. I... I am the only one who will point this out to you.

"If it was someone else, you would have suffered a great loss."

Shen Tian, "???"

He just felt that something was not quite right.

Are you sure you purposely pointed this out to me, and you didn't just accidentally blurt it out?

And this fellow had secretly stolen that tea seed like it was second nature to him.

How many such questionable acts did he commit in the Celestial World?

It makes sense now why the God of War Palace was mobbed!

Ye Qingcang looked very reluctant as he handed the tea seed back to Shen Tian.

No choice. He was now just an after-shadow, a divine consciousness embedded in the God of War Token.

Even if he had the tea seed, it would be useless to him. He had taken it earlier purely out of habit.

After keeping the tea seed, Shen Tian started to pull apart the flesh of the peerless Dragon Source Fruit.

"Old Man Ye, anything I need to take note of when eating this peerless Dragon Source Fruit?"

Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes.

"It should be no problem for you at all. You have such a crazy constitution that you can just swallow it directly."

Who has heard of someone awakening his Connate Constitution just by eating a single Enlightenment tea leaf? I want to see what kind of impressive constitution you can awaken after eating this peerless Dragon Source Fruit!

This old fellow looked very grumpy after having his tea seed confiscated.

Shen Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He started to consume the peerless Dragon Source Fruit.

It must be said that it did taste pretty good. Its texture was like lychee, with a hint of apple fragrance.

Smooth but not too sweet, juicy and tender.

Delicious!

More importantly, after swallowing that peerless fruit into his belly, Shen Tian could clearly feel a surge of boundless, surging energy.

Compared to the peerless Enlightenment tea leaf, which enhanced his mental powers, this peerless Dragon Source Fruit seemed to target his physical body.

Using the Dragon Source's power, this fruit mainly enhanced Shen Tian's physical body's strength.

Crack!

The crisp sounds of bones being refined rang out from Shen Tian's body.

He closed his eyes as he felt the changes taking place inside his body, which erupted in a blaze of dazzling golden light beneath his Longyuan Divine Armor.

Yes, Shen Tian's Golden Body was rapidly refining and strengthening.

Golden Body Fourth Refinement Stage...

Golden Body Fifth Refinement Stage...

Golden Body Sixth Refinement Stage...

Time flowed on, and Shen Tian's physical body became increasingly stronger. He felt like he could smash a superior-grade Spirit artifact with just one punch.

Of course, it was only a feeling. He could not really bear to do so. After all, a superior-grade Spirit artifact was also quite expensive.

His stronger physical body was just one aspect. Shen Tian also felt other significant changes resulting from the Dragon Source power.

Shen Tian's physical foundation had always been the Dragon Source power.

It was a power derived from Ao Bing, from the Dragon God contract they had signed.

With this power, Shen Tian's true abilities would only be displayed when he was executing the ancient dragon techniques.

Even so, his Dragon Source powers were not comparable to Ao Bing's. After all, he was not a real dragon.

However, after swallowing the Dragon Source Fruit, Shen Tian could feel the Dragon Source power inside his body expand by several hundred times.

It was like every single cell inside him had morphed into a mini dragon, surging through his body, especially his spinal column, which was emitting the sounds of a dragon's roar.

It was like a peerless dragon emperor had been awakened in his body.

Shen Tian suddenly opened his eyes.

He leaped into the air and flew up into the clouds.

He spun around and morphed into a dazzling five-clawed golden dragon.

Roar!

The dragon's roar held an earth-shattering and soul-snatching aura. It spread thousands of miles across the ocean.

The fabrics of space cracked, and massive tsunami waves reared up from the sea as if hit by an underwater earthquake.

But the waves didn't surge forth. They were fixed to the spot.

Yes, completely fixed to a spot.

Under that all-encompassing dragon might, even space itself had frozen over.

With Shen Tian as the center, everything across a radius of several dozen miles had come to a standstill. One could even see the cracks in the fabrics of space clearly.

Like the forced solidification of cracked glass, it looked exceptionally eye-catching.

Roar!

A second dragon's roar echoed through the skies, shattering the stillness.

The massive tsunami wave dispersed into uncountable droplets of water, sparkling under the sunlight.

A rainbow appeared on the island, looking especially dazzling.

Ye Qingcang's image slowly appeared as he observed the howling winds and rains. The corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably.

"The royalty of the Dragon race. The True Body of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon? A human actually managed to cultivate it. How did a human manage to awaken the Dragon Emperor Constitution?

"If those old fogeys in the Celestial World knew of this, they would be tearing out their own beards!"

Although he was grumbling on the inside, Ye Qingcang was actually very happy for Shen Tian.

After all, the Dragon Emperor Constitution was definitely one of the top constitutions, even in the Celestial World.

From some angles, it was on par with the Connate Constitution.

The Connate Constitution enhanced one's mental prowess and the ability to understand all Daos.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Emperor Constitution enhanced one's physical body. It was one of the best constitutions for refining a Godfiend body.

A Dragon able to practice the True Dragon Body Tempering Art with the Dragon Emperor Constitution—there was no limit to what they could do. They would definitely be one of the most powerful prodigies!

"This kid is just too incredible.

"Haha, I look forward to the time in the future when he invades the Celestial World. How exciting it would be to see the expressions on the faces of my old friends," the purple-clad Ye Qingcang muttered to himself as the breeze blew gently across his face.

On the other side, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon gradually descended after roaring.

Shen Tian appeared in front of Ye Qingcang again, garbed in his Longyuan Divine Armor.

But his body was now even taller and more upright than before. He exuded a dashing and mighty aura, looking very much like a young hero.

Ye Qingcang smiled. "How does it feel?"

Shen Tian smiled confidently. "I have already successfully ascended to the Golden Body Seventh Refinement realm. My powers have increased considerably. If all goes well, I should be able to defeat 10 normal Heavenly Venerables!"

Shen Tian was suddenly startled.

His Saint Token was vibrating and flashing.

Mmm? Master is calling me?

Chapter 334: Triple Light Divine Water, Immortal Divine Spring

Shen Tian activated the Saint Token with a hand seal.

A figure engulfed in lightning and heavenly aura appeared.

The lightning and heavenly aura rippled as the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice echoed. "Tian'er, how was your trial? Did you get injured?"

Shen Tian smiled. "Thank you, Master, for your concern. It has gone very smoothly."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded. "That's good. Yunxi, the rest, and I will be arriving at North Sea shortly. Till then, do take care of yourself."

Master and the rest are coming to North Sea?

Shen Tian was taken aback. "Master, you don't need to come and fetch me."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was also taken aback. His lightning and heavenly aura froze for a second before starting to ripple again.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said, "I heard that you reaped quite a bountiful harvest at the Chaotic Star Island domain. North Sea is still the demon race's territory, after all.

"Although the Dragon race reigns over North Sea, I am still quite worried. It is better that I come to fetch you personally!"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice was emotionless, but Shen Tian felt very warm on the inside.

The great Sacred Leader of a sacred ground is especially coming to North Sea to fetch me back. He holds me in such high regard!

And he is bringing Senior Sister Yunxi and the rest with him. Haha, how can I trouble everyone like that?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is indeed one big harmonious family, with its members respectful to each other.

Shen Tian smiled. "Thank you, Master."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded. "Also, did you comprehend the Kun Peng Dao in the Chaotic Star Island domain?"

Wow, how did Master know that I comprehended the Kun Peng Dao?

Shen Tian nodded honestly. "Yes."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said calmly, "It is like this. The king of the Great Void Kun race contacted me today.

"He told me that his only son, Kun Ming, found the Kun Peng Jade Cliff in the Chaotic Star Island domain and had hoped to comprehend the Kun Peng Dao from it.

"Not only did he fail, but he even tried to forcibly transform into a Peng and ended up deviating down the wrong path. He is in serious condition now.

"After knowing that you have comprehended the complete Kun Peng Dao, he hopes that you can help them."

Kun Ming deviated down the wrong path because he failed at comprehending the Kun Peng Dao?

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched.

Well!

Actually, Shen Tian had predicted this. After all, Fang Chang and Qi Shaoxuan had also experienced such fates.

Why did he have to do that?

I was prepared to be your companion for the trial, but you refused. You even insulted me.

Alright, now things have turned out like this. No one wished for such an ending!

Shen Tian smiled. "What does Master think about this?"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said, "The Great Void Kun race is the second biggest power in North Sea. Also, we have no beef with them.

"The current leader, Kun Xu, is a good friend of mine and has maintained mutually beneficial relations with us for many areas.

"So unless absolutely necessary, I don't wish to fall out with the Great Void Kun race over the Kun Peng Dao.

"The Kun race has unfathomable power and deep pockets. If we force them into a corner, they might harm you."

Shen Tian understood now. "So Master wants me to return the Kun Peng Dao to the Great Void Kun race?"

Although he did feel a tinge of reluctance, Shen Tian actually did not mind. After all, the Kun Peng Dao was actually Kun Ming's fortuitous opportunity. He would just be returning it to its rightful owner.

If not for the fact that this Kun Ming fellow had kept provoking him, Shen Tian had been planning to invite him along to seek out the Kun Peng Jade Cliff and comprehend the Kun Peng Dao.

Now that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was personally asking this of him, Shen Tian was willing to acquiesce.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader shook his head. "Why should we return it?"

Shen Tian, "???"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's aura rippled. "Although I don't want to fall out with the Great Void Kun race over the Kun Peng Dao, I am not afraid of them.

"Since you were the one who found the Kun Peng Dao, it is your rightful fortuitous opportunity. It belongs to you.

"The Great Void Kun race wants it? Sure, but not for free. They have to give you something good in return."

Shen Tian, "???"

So, Master, you want to use this Kun Peng Dao to fleece others?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader continued calmly. "I have already negotiated with Kun Xu. The Kun race is willing to give you three Sage-level artifacts and one extraordinary item in exchange for the complete Kun Peng Dao.

"At the same time, we are also keeping the rights of you and the other Divine Firmament disciples to use this legacy. Tian'er, what do you think?

"If you are not satisfied with these conditions, I can go negotiate again with Kun Xu and ask for a few more Sage-level artifacts.

"Anyway, even if the Kun race makes a fuss, we are not afraid of them."

At that, the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader aura magnified, and his lightning and heavenly aura vibrated intensely.

Even Shen Tian, who could now defeat most Heavenly Venerables, felt a great suppression from that.

The surging pressure was similar to the Heavenly Tribulation he had faced at Spirit Fog Mountain Valley.

It was clear that the Sacred Leader's cultivation level was far beyond that of a newly-ascended Sage.

Upon realizing how serious the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader was, Shen Tian smiled. "I have no beef with the Kun race. It was just a small misunderstanding.

"The Kun race is willing to give me three Sage-level artifacts and one extraordinary item in exchange for the Kun Peng Dao. To me, those are already bonuses.

"Ahem, but may I ask what extraordinary item will they be giving me?"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's aura rippled again. "The Triple Light Divine Water, ranked sixth on the Absolute Water List. It is also called the Immortal Divine Spring.

"I specially requested this for you. Its value to you is worth more than 10 Sage-level items.

"Even for the wealthy Kun race, this is considered an extremely precious treasure.

"Kun Xu's heart was bleeding when I asked for it."

Triple Light Divine Water, Immortal Divine Spring?

Shen Tian shuddered as intense joy rose in his heart.

This type of Absolute Water was famous across the five regions. It was a miraculous divine healing item.

It was said that even when one was grievously injured and at the brink of death, just half a cup of the Triple Light Divine Water would be enough to completely heal them.

Its healing abilities were even more powerful than normal Nirvana Holy Liquid.

If completely refined into the body, it could even make one immortal.

Just smear some Triple Light Divine Water onto any injuries sustained during battle, and it would heal up within minutes. One could then turn around and continue fighting.

With abilities like this, it was also called portable deity's milk!

Although Shen Tian already had the Nirvana Holy Liquid, which also comprised powerful healing abilities, who would object to having more treasures?

It's like you already had one supermodel under your arm, you wouldn't mind having another under the other arm, right?

Moreover, although Shen Tian still had quite a bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid on hand, there would come a time when he would have none left.

After obtaining this Triple Light Divine Water and refining it into his body, he could continuously nourish himself and attain an immortal body.

This would greatly boost Shen Tian's life endurance.

Why would the Kun race be willing to part with such a precious extraordinary item?

The reason was simple. This healing treasure was very precious, but many other items had similar effects.

If desperate, one could just retreat and gulp down copious amounts of drugs to heal their injuries!

However, the Kun Peng Dao was one of a kind to the Kun race. The entire Great Void Kun race's power would increase several-fold if they could obtain the Kun Peng Dao.

As much as Kun Xu could not bear to part with the Triple Light Divine Water, it was still not as important as the Kun Peng Dao.

"If you are fine with the conditions, please head down to the City of Bliss!

"The Kun race people are already there waiting. From there, they will bring you to the Abyss of Despair as their guest.

"Logically, the Great Void Kun race has made such a big public deal over this that they couldn't possibly harm you without provoking the Dragon race and our sacred ground.

"But if you feel unsafe, you can wait a few more days. By then, I will have arrived at North Sea and can accompany you there."

Shen Tian smiled at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's deep concern. "No need, I can take good care of myself."

Trump card, right?

I have a few in my own pocket!

A profound set of eyes peered out of the lightning and heavenly aura and landed on Shen Tian.

After a long time, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said placidly, "Tian'er, you have always been a very reliable and steady person. I am very confident about how you do things.

"In that case, you head over first! We will meet you there after we arrive at North Sea.

"Remember to place your own safety over all!"

At that, the Saint Token's glow gradually faded away.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's image also slowly dissipated.

Ye Qingcang's figure reappeared in purple light.

He chuckled. "This fellow is so vicious. He made them give up their Triple Light Divine Water in exchange for the Kun Peng Dao, as well as three Sage-level artifacts. This is as good as clearing out the Kun race's treasure vault."

Shen Tian also felt somewhat abashed. "Old Man Ye, with the high price that Master demanded, do you think I am just walking into an ambush?"

Ye Qingcang sneered. "No way! Zhang Longyuan is a very conscientious guy and treats you like his precious baby. Would he let you go visit the Kun race if he was not confident? Don't worry!

"Moreover, you speak as if you are really going over to visit the Kun race in person."

Shen Tian, "???"

As many doubts as there were, he had no choice but to go visit the Kun race. After all, Shen Tian was partly responsible for Kun Ming deviating down the wrong path.

Even though Kun Ming was the one who was jealous of Shen Tian and provoked him first, as the magnanimous human Saint, Shen Tian felt that he should maintain a benevolent and open heart to the demon race.

Yeap, it was definitely not because of the Triple Light Divine Water or the three Sage-level artifacts. It was out of pure altruism!

Shen Tian took a deep breath and reached out his right hand.

A drop of reddish-golden blood dripped from Shen Tian's finger to form a large palm-sized puddle of blood. It then quickly evolved.

After a short period, a handsome man dressed in a white robe appeared. Apart from the fact that his aura was slightly weaker than Shen Tian's, they were completely identical.

"Your Blood Cloning technique has improved. You are looking increasingly handsome."

After sizing up his blood clone, Shen Tian gave a faint nod.

"Kun Ming seems to hate handsome guys. I wonder if he will behave himself when I visit the Kun race."

A youth dressed in a robe emerged from the massive desolate island. He gazed afar across the ocean as golden wings spread out from his back.

Huff!

The divine wings flapped, and he morphed into a streak of golden light, shooting straight toward the City of Bliss.

News headline for that day: "Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, accepts Kun Xu's invitation to be his guest at the Abyss of Despair."

The entire North Sea was in an uproar over the news!

Chapter 335: Princess Pianxian's Choice Is The Correct One

North Sea, Abyss of Despair...

A female dressed in blue stood beside the massive fish tank.

She stared at the half-bird, half-fish Kun Ming inside the tank, her eyes filled with anger.

She clenched her pink fists and harrumphed. "That despicable Divine Firmament Saint. He stole our most esteemed legacy and then caused Second Brother to deviate down the wrong path."

The woman's beautiful face was full of resentment. "And now, he wants our Triple Light Divine Water in exchange for the Kun Peng Dao. He has gone too far and is just trying to fleece us!"

Yes, this woman was the Great Void Kun race's eldest princess—Kun Yu.

Before Kun Ming had been born, Kun Yu was the top prodigy amongst the Great Void Kun race's younger generation. She had been on par with the Dragon race's Fifth Prince.

Now that she was 700 years old, she was already at the Mighty Prowess realm and had become one of the top Heavenly Venerables across the five regions.

It must be pointed out that 700 years old was still considered in one's prime to the Kun race. If pressed, one could still be considered a young prodigy.

Kun Yu's talent and powers were universally acknowledged.

As a result, Kun Yu was a fairy who was obsessively courted and wooed by a vast number of prodigies from all over North Sea.

Countless demon prodigies hoped to win Kun Yu's favor. They would never have to struggle again in life but could shoot straight up to the top echelons of the demon world.

But did you know how high Kun Yu's standards were?

Those so-called ocean demon prodigies came in all sorts of bizarre forms and shapes. Octopuses with eight tentacles, turtles with shells on their backs, crabs that couldn't even walk straight...

Otherwise, they were too weak and couldn't even withstand a single "Great Void Vortex" move of hers.

Those fellows had no right to even stand in her line of sight.

In Kun Yu's opinion, her partner should be more talented and more powerful than her.

Otherwise, how could he subdue her?

Just because he was a good kisser?'

"And that Mermaid Princess Pianxian. My brother is so handsome and so talented. It is her honor to be favored by you.

"But she went off and chose some so-called Divine Firmament Saint. She is really blind.

"Don't worry, when that Divine Firmament Saint comes to the Abyss of Despair, I will seek justice for you!"

Kun Yu asked with concern, "Second Brother, how are you feeling now? Does your head still hurt?"

Kun Ming felt somewhat comforted upon feeling his biological sister's concern.

He replied morosely, "I am fine. Big Sister, you agree that I am more suitable for Pianxian rather than that Divine Firmament Saint, right?"

Kun Yu hurriedly nodded. "Of course. My brother is the most powerful prodigy among North Sea's younger generation.

"You are also tall and handsome, as well as father's only son. You will lead the entire Kun race in the future.

"How can a mere Divine Firmament Saint compare to you? There's no doubt that the Mermaid Princess is blind."

At that moment, Kun Yu's little conch vibrated.

Her gaze hardened. "Oh? The guards just messaged that the Divine Firmament Saint has already arrived at the Abyss of Despair's borders."

The liquid inside the fish tank started to churn. It was clear that Kun Ming was feeling very agitated.

If not for the fact that he wasn't looking very good now and had an image to maintain, he would have charged out the door.

Kun Yu patted the tank to console her little brother. "Calm down. You still have me! He wants to take our Triple Light Divine Water? Hmph, not so easy. I will go find that little punk now to settle your scores for you!"

Kun Yu swaggered out of the palace and took out a Kun-shaped artifact. She sat on top of it and flew to the Abyss of Despair's borders.

At the Abyss of Despair's borders...

Shen Tian had arrived, led by a Heavenly Venerable of the Kun race.

The so-called Abyss of Despair was a great bottomless underwater abyss in the ocean.

This abyss was millions of miles in both length and width.

As for how deep it was, no one knew.

The deeper one ventured into the Abyss of Despair, the darker and colder it became, and the more intense the water pressure. As a result, it was filled with a dead silence and despair.

Even a Sage who had undergone tribulation would not be able to reach the deepest part of this abyss. They would have to turn back halfway.

It was said that tens of thousands of years ago, the Kun race had a Great Sage who couldn't contain his curiosity. He had made multiple attempts to venture into the deepest regions of the abyss.

500,000 feet~

800,000 feet~

,000,000 feet~

On his eighth attempt, the Great Sage had managed to reach 4,500,000 feet.

According to him, there was no light at all at that depth. And every single drop of water felt as heavy as a mountain.

Even more scary was the suppressive aura. It was like there was a pair of eyes fixed on him from within the darkness. It was a spine-chilling feeling, but he could not find the source.

Curiosity was an addictive thing.

In the end, that Great Kun Sage had gone in for the ninth time.

That time, there had been no return. He had just disappeared into the Abyss of Despair's deepest regions, swallowed whole by the darkness.

It had been tens of thousands of years, but there was still no sign of him at all.

As a result, any region more than 100,000 feet deep in the Abyss of Despair was declared a forbidden zone by the Kun race. No Kun citizen was allowed to go below that.

It was a place forbidden and full of mystery!

Of course, Shen Tian would never venture anywhere that deep. Nonetheless, he remained cautious.

After all, the abyss was the Great Void Kun race's home. They were extremely powerful, and he had a bit of past conflict with them.

He could only hope that those older Kuns would not interfere with the bickerings of the younger generation. Otherwise, having thousands of giant Kuns charging at you was a spine-chilling thought.

"Divine Firmament Saint, welcome."

The Heavenly Venerable Kun behind him invited Shen Tian to enter the abyss.

At that moment, Shen Tian felt like he was like a fly being invited to step on a spider's web.

Well, as Buddha said, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." In order to save Kun Ming, I am willing to take the risk!

Just then, a blue light suddenly flashed in the abyss.

An almighty Heavenly Venerable-level aura engulfed the area. Even the veteran Heavenly Venerable beside Shen Tian couldn't help taking several steps back.

"It's Eldest Princess. Why is she here?"

The Heavenly Venerable Kun's face changed. He still remembered his leader's instructions—ensure the Divine Firmament Saint's safety at all cost.

Now that the Divine Firmament Saint was here, and Eldest Princess had suddenly appeared... things were not looking good at all!

He could distinctly feel Kun Yu's domineering aura. She was clearly not here to welcome the guest but to stir trouble.

Everyone in the Kun race knew that their Eldest Princess was very close to her little brother.

Apart from herself, no one else was allowed to bully him!

Since their Young Master had just suffered at the hands of the Divine Firmament Saint, their Eldest Princess must be hopping mad!

Now that the Divine Firmament Saint had come right to their doorstep, it was like a lamb heading in to slaughter.

The Heavenly Venerable Kun knew he was no match for the Eldest Princess, so he said in resignation, "Saint, you better take cover somewhere! I will help you stall the Eldest Princess. Contact our leader immediately, or there will be trouble!"

By then, the blue light was already arriving.

The Heavenly Venerable Kun held his forehead.

"Looks like we won't be able to make it in time."

"Where is the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian?"

A cold voice echoed from the abyss, and a massive Kun avatar burst forth.

In the midst of that terrifying avatar was a blue Kun-shaped artifact, and a lady dressed in blue was sitting cross-legged on top of that artifact.

She had short, blue hair and looked very beautiful and elegant, very much like a model in her 20s. At the same time, she exuded a ferocious aura.

This was clearly a young Heavenly Venerable!

Even Shen Tian could feel a faint pressure from that woman.

This woman's power was quite extraordinary. Shen Tian would have to exert significant effort to hold himself against her.

The Great Void Kun race was indeed the Dragon race's counterpart. Just a random woman from that race was already so powerful.

Truly unfathomable.

At that thought, Shen Tian took a step forward. "Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian. Greetings, Eldest Princess."

The blue-haired woman sitting on the Kun-shaped artifact turned around.

Her gaze landed on Shen Tian, and her expression turned from cold and harsh... to soft and gentle.

Pfffttt!

This is the Divine Firmament Saint?

Robes as white as snow—pristine and untainted.

He is like a gracious deity who has just descended to earth. Like a dashing young Godking.

That face was like the Heavenly Dao's most perfect work of art. Every single inch was heart-stirring like a fire had been lit within the heart.

How can there be such a gorgeous guy in this world?

In front of that face, "power" and "talent" seemed to pale in comparison.

At that moment, Kun Yu seemed to understand why the Mermaid Princess had chosen this Saint over her little brother.

Sigh... Compared to this Divine Firmament Saint, Second Brother is just not good enough...

Kun Yu was domineering, but she was not unreasonable. She could totally understand Yu Pianxian's dilemma.

At the same time, she no longer bore a grudge toward Yu Pianxian.

After all, if Kun Yu were to put herself in Yu Pianxian's shoes—would she still have feelings for Kun Ming after looking at this Divine Firmament Saint?

Ouuu~

Second Brother, there's a very good reason why you lost!

Ahem, ahem!

Although the Divine Firmament Saint was very handsome, he was still here to take their family treasures.

As the leader of the Great Void Kun race's younger generation, Kun Yu was definitely not the flighty kind of girl who became helpless before a handsome dude.

She stared at Shen Tian mildly. Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she had been rushing over. "Are you Shen Tian? The Saint who comprehended the complete Kun Peng Dao?"

Shen Tian went on the alert. "Yes, may I know why you are asking for me?"

Kun Yu nodded. "I heard that you are the number one most handsome guy in Eastern Wilderness. Looks like those rumors are no exaggeration."

Shen Tian, "???"

This princess really knows how to change the subject!

After a moment's thought, Shen Tian smiled. "Eldest Princess is too kind. It's just my Eastern Wilderness brothers teasing me.

"Meanwhile, I have also heard rumors that Eldest Princess is beautiful beyond comparison and the most exceptional fairy amongst North Sea's younger generation. I can see now that this is indeed true."

One must always practice reciprocity. When someone called you handsome, it was only right for you to return the compliment.

Kun Yu blushed even deeper at Shen Tian's "polite" words. "Do you really think I am beautiful beyond comparison?"

A smile appeared on her originally passive face. In an instant, it was like icy frost had melted and spring had returned to earth.

Kun Yu landed in front of Shen Tian. Her tall, slender physique was such that she was only about half a head shorter than him. "Come, let me bring you to meet my father."

She pulled Shen Tian by the hand, led him onto her Kun-shaped artifact, and shot straight toward the Kun Palace.

Meanwhile, Kun Ming's body shuddered inside the big fish tank. It was as if he had lost something very important.

Kun Yu's Kun-shaped artifact looked very normal, but it was a Sage-level artifact. It possessed powerful defense.

It could even unleash the Great Void Kun race's specialty moves, Great Void Freeze and Great Void Breakaway, when activated. These moves could lower an opponent's speed and fend off their pursuit.

It had helped Kun Yu overcome numerous dangers during her many trials.

Shen Tian felt very comfortable sitting on this artifact. It was moving at high speed too.

In just a few short moments, he was already right in front of the Kun Palace.

"Inform my father that the Divine Firmament Saint has arrived!"

Kun Yu performed a hand seal, and the gates to the palace opened. A long hallway was revealed.

The two of them flew into the palace and soon arrived at a massive black hall.

A black-robed man stood in the center of the hall. He radiated with a faint glow all over.

He stood there nonchalantly as if he was one with the space around him but pristine and untouchable.

Even with the recent huge advancement in his cultivation level, Shen Tian could feel an unfathomable pressure from this guy. He was completely defenseless before him.

No wonder he was the leader of the Great Void Kun race. So powerful!

Shen Tian bowed respectfully. "My humble greetings Kun King. I am Shen Tian."

Shen Tian, you are finally here?

Kun Xu trembled slightly, feeling somewhat worried.

Why did Shen Tian come together with Yu'er? I hope nothing bad happened!

That foolish girl... I hope she didn't do anything impulsive toward Shen Tian!

She better not have done anything too reckless!

But those two look like they are getting along.

I don't think they had any conflict!

The Kun King's heartbeat sped up. He gazed at Shen Tian impassively. "Very good. Divine Firmament Saint, I have been waiting for you."

With that, the Kun King gave a brilliant smile.

He said warmly, "To be honest, I have been good friends with your Master for hundreds of years.

"Sacred Leader Zhang told me that you are the most powerful prodigy the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has seen over the past 10,000 years. I was very curious about you!

"Now that I have finally met you, you are indeed an exceptional man. If only I had a nephew like you!"

It must be said that this leader had a pretty high EQ.

The Kun King was a mighty Sage and the leader of a powerful race. Nonetheless, he behaved like a kindly uncle toward Shen Tian.

Worm your way into someone's heart by flattering him.

Moreover, it was a "Great Sage" who was flattering you.

The Kun King was really buttering Shen Tian up. If the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had not spoken to him prior to this, Shen Tian would have just handed over the Kun Peng Dao then and there.

After all, Shen Tian's providence would increase if he returned the Kun Peng Dao.

Shen Tian would still benefit even if he gave back the Kun Peng Dao without asking for anything in return.

However, since the Kun race was willing to give him the Triple Light Divine Water, he would not reject them. It was an extremely valuable item, after all.

Always glad to get a free lunch~

Shen Tian smiled. "Your Highness is too kind. I am not that great."

The Kun King gazed at Shen Tian with glittering eyes.

"Since you are already here, I will come straight to the point.

"I heard that you comprehended the complete version of the Kun Peng Dao in the Chaotic Star Island domain.

"You must know how important the Kun Peng Dao is to us. On behalf of the entire Kun race, I express my gratitude to you for returning our legacy.

"The Sage-level artifacts and Triple Light Divine Water have already been prepared. I wonder if you can execute a few moves now for me to see?

"After I confirm that your Kun Peng Dao is the complete version, we will gladly hand over the treasures."

The Kun King was being very forthright.

Kun Yu's eyes also lit up. She had always heard that the Divine Firmament Saint was the number one most handsome man in Eastern Wilderness. He was also Eastern Wilderness' most powerful prodigy.

Now that it was clear his looks were no exaggeration, what about his talent and power?

To be honest, Kun Yu was very curious and wanted to test his mettle.

Don't be mistaken. She wasn't just looking for an excuse to come into close physical contact with him through sparring. Nope, not at all!

Kun Yu looked at Shen Tian. "I am very interested in the Kun Peng Dao. I wonder if you are willing to spar with me?

"Of course, I will suppress my cultivation level to the Golden Body realm.

"What do you think?"

Spar? Fight?

Shen Tian frowned slightly as he returned Kun Yu's gaze.

Could this Kun woman be trying to exert her authority over me?

Haha, dream on!

Shen Tian smiled and replied calmly, "Actually, you don't have to suppress your cultivation level."

At that, Shen Tian gradually unleashed his aura, which grew increasingly overpowering by the minute!

The smiles on Kun Yu and Kun Xu's faces slowly stiffened.

This... How can this be considered the Golden Body realm!?

Chapter 336: The Seawater Is Salty Today!

Shen Tian did not try to hide his cultivation level. Kun Yu and Kun Xu could feel that he was a genuine Golden Body practitioner.

However, his aura was not something a Golden Body practitioner should exude!

Which Golden Body practitioner could have such a potent aura?

A Kun avatar also appeared behind Shen Tian. It was so huge that it was blocking most of the sunlight!

This kind of power was definitely something only Heavenly Venerables possessed. Some normal Heavenly Venerable could not even exude that!

Kun Xu thought to himself, Is there any chance that this Divine Firmament Saint has reached the Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage?

The Godfiend cultivation path was way harder than the Qi Refinement cultivation path.

Plenty of geniuses could reach the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. In rare cases, some people could even reach the tenth stage, like Qi Shaoxuan.

However, when it came to the Godfiend cultivation path, it was rare to even see a Golden Body Seventh Refinement Stage practitioner—nobody had ever heard of the ninth stage.

For the past 10,000 years, no one had ever reached that stage before.

Even the Immortal Phoenix Queen and Huang Shi were merely pseudo-Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage practitioners.

Whether it was true, only they knew the answers.

However, Middle Ground had a few Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage practitioners. They were considered to be peak Golden Body practitioners, and they could kill a Supremacy easily.

Even a Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage cultivator could not beat a Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage practitioner. The former would lose in a very short time.

Thus, the power of a Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage practitioner would be insane. They could most likely beat a Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage cultivator with ease too!

However, even if one was at the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage, there was no way they could beat a Heavenly Venerable!

There was a gap of two entire levels!

Furthermore, Shen Tian's aura would not be considered weak even if it was compared to Heavenly Venerables.

According to Kun Xu, a normal Soul Formation cultivator might not even exude such a strong aura.

This power certainly does not belong to a Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage...

Tenth? Or... Eleventh!?

Ssss, that's a terrifying thought!

No wonder the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader likes this kid so much.

When this kid reaches his peak, the five regions will be at his beck and call!

Kun Xu was extremely jealous of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader right now.

Why did our Kun race not give birth to such a strong monster?

As for Kun Yu, she did not have such complicated thoughts.

She looked at Shen Tian, dazed by how strong he was.

He is just a Golden Body practitioner, yet he possesses the power of a Heavenly Venerable. He is so talented! I've never heard of anything like this before.

Those prodigies back in North Sea are really nothing compared to him. He's more handsome, talented, and powerful!

No wonder the Mermaid Princess likes Shen Tian. It's really not her fault!

This Saint is really too good to be true! It's okay to lose to him, brother!

My brother, any sane female would choose him over you...

That's not good!

I cannot let the Saint go near the Mermaid Princess anymore! My brother would really have no chance at all!

An idea popped into Kun Yu's mind—she planned to play matchmaker for Kun Ming with Yu Pianxian.

I will snatch Shen Tian first and leave Yu Pianxian with no choice!

As long as Shen Tian has a Dao companion, Yu Pianxian will be unable to do anything. Thus, she'll have to choose my brother!

That's right!

I'll sacrifice myself for my brother's happiness!

This is all because of a sister's selfless love for her little brother.

It's definitely not because I like him!

Kun Yu smiled and said, "Saint, you are really Eastern Wilderness' strongest prodigy. Your talent impresses me. I'll do away with the formalities, and there will be no holding back. Watch out!"

Kun Yu dashed at Shen Tian like a blue laser beam. She was wearing a light blue armor carved with divine emblems, and it could merge with the void and control the space around her.

When Kun Yu was near Shen Tian, he felt immense pressure on him coming from the void.

This was the Void Realm. His speed would be restricted greatly when fighting with the Kun race.

"Watch it, Saint!"

Great North Fist!

Kun Yu was already in front of Shen Tian, and her fist was only a few inches away from his face.

Although her hand looked small, the power of the punch should not be taken lightly. The void around her arm began to crack under her power.

Furthermore, Kun Yu's fist had a strong suction force and prevented Shen Tian from dodging.

Coupled with her armor's emblems, she had great control over the battle.

Although Kun Yu had just reached the Mighty Prowess stage, her power was no weaker than a normal Heavenly Venerable.

If Kun Yu could match evenly with Kun Ming before the Mighty Prowess stage, she could fight a few dozen Kun Ming together with her current power.

She is strong indeed!

Shen Tian exclaimed in his heart. Kun Yu had impressed him.

If a normal Heavenly Venerable's combat power was 6,000 points, Kun Yu at least had 10,000 right now.

This woman is terrifying!

Shen Tian took a deep breath, and a pair of golden wings appeared on his back. The First Essence Heavy Water covered his fists too.

He looked even more handsome with the golden and silver light.

Rumble!

A loud thunder-like sound echoed under the deep ocean.

The impact from the exchange of blows caused a huge tsunami.

The void in between the two of them turned into ashes immediately and was washed away by the black current.

Shen Tian was thrown back a few hundred feet, and he could feel his hand shaking.

He felt like he had punched a giant mountain!

This Eldest Princess is really powerful. I better do not let my guard down.

Shen Tian exclaimed in his mind. Kun Yu was much more powerful than he thought.

Of course, Kun Yu was even more shocked than Shen Tian.

She had just wanted to test Shen Tian. She had used 60% of her power and had been prepared to pull back her fist.

Kun Yu had been worried that she might hurt Shen Tian.

However, she had not expected Shen Tian's First-Essence-Heavy-Water-covered fists

to be so strong. That was just incredible.

The impact had caused Kun Yu to move back a few thousand feet, and her fist was now swollen.

Kun Yu was the one at a disadvantage now. Nevertheless, she was not embarrassed at all.

On the contrary, she was more excited now.

That's good! Only powerful people like him deserve my love!

C'mon, Saint!

"You are strong. Let's do it again!"

This was a world where strength reigned supreme.

Although she was not as talented as Shen Tian, her eyes were filled with excitement.

As a proud Kun Heavenly Venerable, Kun Yu could not allow herself to lose to Shen Tian!

Argh!

A huge Kun avatar appeared behind Kun Yu. The sea waves turned into dozens of weapons and flew toward Shen Tian.

Kun Yu was hiding among the weapons too, ready to launch another attack.

It was one of the Great Void Kun race's strongest moves, the Great North Fist!

Shen Tian's eyes lit up, and he smiled.

"Nice punch!"

Since the goal was to showcase the Kun Peng Dao, Shen Tian would not use other arts he knew.

He took a deep breath, and a huge Kun avatar appeared behind him too. His avatar was more vivid than Kun Yu's.

The avatar behind Shen Tian was not just a normal Kun. It was changing as it flew between the sea and the sky.

When it was in the sky, its body turned into a golden eagle. It represented the mighty Yang and was filled with strength.

However, when the golden eagle returned to the sea, the huge Kun appeared again. It represented the Yin and was filled with restriction power.

It was an ancient offensive skill the Kun race had also created. Not only that, but it also incorporated the Heavenly Eagle race's techniques. He had used the Kun Peng Dao against Kun Yu.

Initially, Kun Yu had the advantage with her full strength.

However, Shen Tian's knowledge of the Kun Peng race's ancient offensive skills was increasing drastically.

At first, Shen Tian was not used to this new art.

The second time, Shen Tian became familiar with it and figured out ways to better use it.

The third time, Shen Tian almost mastered it.

Even Kun Xu could learn something from Shen Tian's use of the arts.

Kun Xu was a Sage. He had been learning the Kun ancient offensive skills since young and had greater mastery over these.

Yet, he could still learn something new from Shen Tian. This showed that Shen Tian was really good at it.

Furthermore, Kun Xu could tell that Shen Tian was really not familiar with the Kun Peng art.

He does not seem to have used the Kun Peng art before. He's really a newbie.

However, he mastered it in just a short while?

His talent is beyond imagination!

If he is an enemy, he has to be killed on the spot right now.

If he is not, we have to build a good relationship with him.

If possible, we have to gain his favor too!

The Kun King observed as his daughter was fighting with Shen Tian.

The higher he stood, the more he could see.

He knew that the emergence of many talented cultivators in the five regions might not be a good thing. It might be the sign of a chaotic time.

As such, even the strong Great Void Kun race could face extinction because of it.

That was the reason the Qilin race was weaker than the Dragon or Phoenix races right now.

The Kun race had to find a strong ally before the ensuing chaos.

Shen Tian would be a great choice.

There would be no cons if they stayed on good terms with him.

It would be much better if Shen Tian married his daughter! By then, the Kun race would become great again!

Hmm?

I have to create a chance for her!

Since we don't have a human partner yet and Shen Tian agreed with the Dragons before, he should not reject us!

It's unquestionably a much better offer!

While Kun Xu's mind was racing with thoughts, Kun Yu and Shen Tian reached a stalemate.

Kun Yu felt very helpless as she realized the longer they fought, the more she understood that she could not win.

Shen Tian seemed to read her every move.

Each time she made an attack, Shen Tian would dodge it perfectly.

Furthermore, Shen Tian's understanding of Kun Peng offensive arts was increasing tremendously too.

In less than an hour, he had mastered the arts completely.

In Kun Yu's eyes, Shen Tian was the ancient Kun Peng itself. His moves were filled with mysterious power.

This was the kind of power the Great Void Kun race was looking for!

They all looked at him in awe.

"Why are you only defending? Do you like me?"

Seeing that Shen Tian had blocked all her attacks without making a single attack, she sent Shen Tian a voice transmission.

Huh?

Shen Tian was stunned for a moment.

Where is the link between these two things?

Kun Yu smiled and stopped attacking.

"Never mind, I'm tired. I admit defeat! My attacks are useless against you, and you can't bear to hurt me. It's a boring fight."

Shen Tian, "..."

I just feel that it is weird to beat you up in front of your father...

What if your father dots you too much?

Well, it's not the first time I met girls that like to fantasize.

Whatever you say is fine.

He was in her territory anyway. Shen Tian felt that it would be safer that way.

Yes, safety came first!

Although Shen Tian was not afraid of death, he had yet to obtain the Triple Light Divine Water and the three Sage artifacts.

Shen Tian retracted his aura and cupped his hands together. "Princess Yu's understanding of the Kun arts is superb. I've learned a lot."

Kun Yu replied, "If that's the case, we should spar again in the future."

Shen Tian smiled and said, "Sure.

"Since I have comprehended the Kun Peng Dao, I should return it to you!"

Kun Yu and Kun Xu became very excited upon hearing that.

No one from the Kun race could resist the Kun Peng Dao's temptation!

It was the most suitable heritage art, and only the Kun race could use it to the fullest.

Well, Shen Tian was an exception.

If they could comprehend the Kun Peng Dao, their strength would be boosted greatly.

Feeling their urge, Shen Tian chose not to tease them any further. He raised his right hand and held Kun Yu's hand. He passed the entire Kun Peng Dao to her through divine consciousness.

He also conveyed some of his understanding of the techniques to her. He had benefited greatly from them, after all.

Kun Yu's face was red from the excitement, and she mumbled to herself, "This is the complete Kun Peng Dao? What wonderful techniques! It's so amazing!"

Shen Tian, "..."

"Cough, cough. Princess Yu, you can let go of my hand now," said Shen Tian.

Kun Yu did not hear Shen Tian and was still indulging in the Kun Peng Dao's beauty.

"Kun is Yin, Peng is Yang. When the two are merged, Kun Peng is born. Wow! Wow!"

Shen Tian tried to pull his hand back, but Kun Yu held him tightly.

"Princess Yu, why not pass the Kun Peng Dao to the Kun King first and learn it later?"

Kun Yu continued to ignore him. "Ohhh! That's the Kun Peng's secret! This is so amazing!"

Shen Tian, "..."

The Kun King shook his head and said, "Sorry for this, Saint. The Kun Peng Dao has mesmerized Yu'er."

He secretly sent Kun Yu a voice transmission. "Behave yourself! Stop acting like this!"

Then, he used his power and separated the two of them by force.

Kun Yu came back to her senses and looked very puzzled. "Where am I? What happened?"

Shen Tian, "..."

It was really awkward now!

The Kun King took out a storage ring and passed it to Shen Tian.

"Thank you so much for sharing the Kun Peng Dao with us. Please keep this token of appreciation."

Shen Tian's eyes lit up, and quickly waved his hands. "Your Excellency, you are too generous.

"The Kun Peng Dao belongs to the Kun race, and it is only right to return it.

"Furthermore, it is no trouble for me at all. I cannot keep any reward!"

The Kun King placed the ring into Shen Tian's hand and said, "Saint, you are wrong about that. It may be a simple thing for you to do, but it is a second chance for all of us!

"This is just a token of appreciation. If you don't keep it, how will the five regions' people look at us?

"Do you want them to call me someone with no gratitude?"

Shen Tian paused for a moment and said, "Ermm, since Your Excellency insists, I will keep it."

He took the storage ring and sighed again.

"I do not have anything of value on me right now.

"I ought to bring some gifts with me when I visit. However, I did find an Enlightenment tea leaf when I was exploring the Chaotic Star Island domain.

"Since Your Excellency and Princess Yu are about to comprehend the Kun Peng Dao, I believe this tea would be very beneficial."

At that, Shen Tian took a white jade bottle with a silver tea leaf out of his ring. It was about three inches in length and looked like a mini Kun Peng.

Although it was not moving, Yin and Yang were flowing around it constantly.

This leaf was very suitable for the Kun race to comprehend the Kun Peng Dao.

Enlightenment tea leaf!

And it was silver!

When seeing this leave, everyone, including the Kun King, was shocked.

He knew exactly how rare a silver Enlightenment tea leaf was. It was the best Enlightenment tea leaf.

Only a 100,000-year-old Tree of Enlightenment could produce leaves of this color.

Even if the tree met the requirement, it was still rare to produce a silver leaf.

Back in Middle Ground, Huang Shi had spent 8,000 years growing a Tree of Enlightenment. He had given it countless treasures as nutrients, yet it had not grown out a single silver leaf!

The silver leaves only existed in the ancient books.

Even if someone obtained a silver Enlightenment tea leaf, they would keep it for themselves so that they could use it at the Sage stage.

Therefore, some Sages were willing to use Sage artifacts to trade for the silver Enlightenment tea leaves in the black market.

Even then, it was not easy to obtain the leaves!

Kun Xu did not expect Shen Tian to find such a treasure in Chaotic Star Island!

Moreover, this silver leaf was very compatible with the Kun Peng Dao!

Thus, it was extremely valuable to Kun Xu. He had just gotten his hands on the Kun Peng Dao, and he would have to spend a long time comprehending it.

He could reduce the comprehension time greatly and gain a deeper understanding of it with this leaf.

It was a chance for him to ascend to immortality!

Kun Xu's breath quickened. He wanted to be courteous like Shen Tian, but he was afraid that Shen Tian would really take it back.

After all, this kind of interaction was really out of politeness alone.

I cannot risk it!

Kun Xu took the bottle and could not stop the smile on his face. "What have we done to deserve this? Hahaha, thank you so much!

"Sacred Leader Zhang is so fortunate to have you a Saint like you! If I had a Saint like you, I would be smiling even in my worst nightmare!"

Although it was just a compliment, Kun Xu's eyes reddened slowly.

He would say similar things to North Sea prodigies too, but he did not mean it at all. He was very proud of his son and daughter, and he did not think anyone else was better than them!

Kun Ming and Kun Yu were both North Sea's top prodigies.

There was no way Kun Xu would be jealous of others.

Nonetheless, he was extremely jealous after seeing Shen Tian.

He knew that he was not as strong as the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, but the difference was not so great.

I was hoping Kun Ming could be better than Zhang Longyuan's disciple at first.

But now... why is my son so weak?

Both of them had been to Chaotic Star Island for an experiential journey, but the Divine Firmament Saint had comprehended the entire Kun Peng Dao and obtained treasures like silver leaves!

Kun Xu did not believe that Shen Tian had only found this leaf.

What are the odds that it's just nicely in the shape of a Kun Peng?

He has obviously obtained many other things from the Chaotic Star Island domain.

At least, he has many silver leaves with him!

What about my son?

He did not encounter a single fortuitous opportunity in Chaotic Star Island!

Yes, he found Kun Peng Island, but what happened? He suffered a Qi Deviation!

What a shame! What a shame!

Zhang Longyuan! Why is your disciple even stronger than you?

The seawater today is really salty!

Chapter 337: Great Void Kun Race's Forbidden Tablet

Kun Xu and Kun Yu stood side by side within the simple and ancient palace.

There was a huge fish tank in front of them, as well as a salted fish within.

Cough, cough, a Kun fish.

At present, one hour had already passed since the two had first met Shen Tian. However, they were still unable to calm down.

Kun Xu said, "Prodigy!"

Kun Yu exclaimed, "Heavenly immortal!"

Kun Ming inside the fish tank, "..."

After a long while, Kun Ming finally could not endure his father and sister's strange facial expressions.

His mouth twitched. "Father, sister, how was the negotiation with that bastard? Is he unwilling to return the Kun Peng Dao?"

Kun Xu's face darkened. "What do you mean 'that bastard'? So impolite, he's the Divine Firmament Saint!"

Kun Yu glared at Kun Ming and inwardly said, He's your future brother-in-law!

Kun Xu looked toward the pitiful Kun Ming in the fish tank. His last bit of pity toward his son instantly turned into envy.

He scoffed, "I met the Divine Firmament Saint today. Υou should really learn from him, especially his tolerance.

"Υou are arrogant and act tyrannically with just that bit of talent. You even think of fighting with others just because of some jealousy.

"You should be thankful that the Divine Firmament Saint has extraordinary tolerance, or else just by the few times of conflict with him, he would have cut you into sashimi long ago."

Kun Ming felt aggrieved. "Father, why are you siding with him? He's just a Golden Body practitioner. Had I not suffered a Qi Deviation, I would be able to defeat him easily!"

Kun Yu sneered as she looked at Kun Ming like she was looking at a fool. "My idiotic brother, you're absolutely ignorant when it comes to Shen Tian's strength."

Her eyes were filled with admiration and shone brightly like the stars in the sky. "He's a true peerless prodigy. Your talent is insignificant as compared to his."

Kun Ming, "???"

Sister, didn't you say two hours ago that you'd seek justice for me by beating him up?

Why have you changed sides so quickly and talking about him as if you're in your estrus period?

No one knew a man better than their own father. After seeing Kun Ming's expression, Kun Xu knew that Kun Ming was definitely up to no good.

To prevent him from having a screw loose, Kun Xu decided to sound the alarm bell for him.

Kun Xu walked to the huge fish tank and gently knocked on the fish tank.

Gong!

The powerful sound waves directly caused the liquid in the tank to churn, and Kun Ming started to spin crazily.

Only after a while did he stop twirling.

Seeing how Kun Ming's face was filled with resentment, the Kun King said coldly, "It's to shake you up and clear your head. Oh, by the way, Shen Tian is even stronger than your sister."

What!?

Upon hearing his father's words, Kun Ming was completely astounded.

Kun Ming knew his sister's strength as Kun Yu had been beating him up since young.

Even Kun Ming's initial motivation for working hard to cultivate was to one day be stronger than his sister so he would not need to be beaten by her anymore.

However, Kun Ming was also clear that his sister had already broken through to the Mighty Prowess realm.

If she was just a normal Mighty Prowess demon, Kun Ming had the confidence to be on par or even win against her.

However, Kun Yu was also one of the top North Sea prodigies, and her talent was slightly inferior to Kun Ming only.

Before reaching the next stage, it was almost impossible for Kun Ming to be evenly matched with Kun Yu, not to mention winning against her.

If he wanted to win against her, then he would need to at least break through to the Mighty Prowess realm!

Kun Ming gritted his teeth. "Damn it! Just what treasures did he obtain in Chaotic Star Island that he could actually break through to the Mighty Prowess realm in just a few months?"

Kun Xu put his hand to his forehead and looked at Kun Ming as if he was looking at an idiot. "His cultivation level is still at the Golden Body realm."

Golden Body?

Kun Ming was stunned. His first thought was that it was impossible.

He murmured, "Impossible, how could a Golden Body practitioner win against a Mighty Prowess demon?"

It was challenging his common sense as no matter how talented a Perfected One was, it was impossible to match up to a Heavenly Venerable.

This was the common sense recognized by the five regions. Even a cultivator who could win against another cultivator that was a whole cultivation level above was a peerless prodigy, one of the top prodigies at that.

Then what about a cultivator that could win against another that was two cultivation levels above?

Monster, maniac?

He looked at Kun Xu in doubt. "Father, why are you deceiving me? Are you really my father?

"No, this must be an illusion. Someone has barged into the Abyss of Despair and is using illusory arts against me. Do you think I'll be deceived?

"I advise you to immediately dispel the illusion, or else when my father and sister arrive, you won't be able to leave even if you're a Sage!"

Kun Xu, "..."

Kun Yu's mouth twitched.

He's gone crazy.

Well, it's normal for him to be irritated after such a bombshell was dropped on him after he suffered from Qi Deviation. His condition has been unstable since transforming into a Kun fish is a transformation from the core. Thus, his soul and physical body will consume a large amount of essence.'

Kun Yu felt resigned as he looked at Kun Xu. "Father, how about you have another child?"

The Kun King's mouth twitched.

She definitely thinks that she won't be able to beat Kun Ming up again as he's about to break through to the Mighty Prowess realm.

You still want me to have another brother for you to bully again?

Although Kun Xu was even more disappointed in his son after comparing him with the Divine Firmament Saint, in the end, Kun Ming was still his son.

He felt resigned as he said, "You good-for-nothing, is it really that difficult to acknowledge that there's someone else better than you? You're just like a frog in a well!

"Shen Tian has already returned the complete Kun Peng Dao to us. We are greatly indebted to him.

"If you trouble him again, wait and see how I deal with you!"

After finishing, Kun Xu narrowed his eyes, and a blue light shot into the area between Kun Ming's brows.

Instantly, Kun Ming felt as if countless mysterious techniques appeared within his mind—that was the Kun Peng divine beast's core mysterious art.

If it was said that Kun arts belonged to Yang. Lone Yin did not lead to birth, and solitary Yang did not allow growth. Then the complete Kun Peng Dao merged the Kun Dao and Peng Dao together.

Originally, Kun Ming had only grasped the Kun Peng Dao's superficial knowledge and failed in forcibly transforming into a Peng. He knew the outline of the Kun Peng Dao.

Thus, he could accurately judge that the Kun Peng Dao in his mind was definitely the real one.

If he cultivated according to this formulation, then he would be able to transform into a Peng in the future!

So, this is not f*cking illusion!?

After roughly understanding and tidying up the Kun Peng Dao, Kun Ming finally calmed himself down and looked toward Kun Xu and Kun Yu.

However, he became anxious again after recalling what the two of them had said.

Golden Body winning against Mighty Prowess? That can't be true!

However, now that he obtained the complete Kun Peng Dao, the originally chaotic divine power within him was gradually turning peaceful, and he was also slowly calming down.

Hmm?

Actually, after obtaining the Kun Peng Dao, Kun Ming suddenly felt as if his whole body was relaxed and that he had broken free from some shackles. It was instantly easy to use his divine power.

Although he still suffered a huge setback, he became more resilient than before. At least, he would not flip under pressure anymore.

Seeing that Kun Ming calmed down, Kun Xu nodded. "This time, the Divine Firmament Saint even gifted me an Enlightenment tea leaf when returning us the Kun Peng Dao. Its value is priceless."

While looking at his son and daughter, Kun Xu said, "After I brew this Enlightenment tea leaf, the both of you should also drink a cup as this would be of great help to comprehending the Kun Peng Dao."

Kun Ming pursed his lips. "Who cares about that bastard's tea leaf! I can understand the Kun Peng Dao myself!"

Kun Xu's expression gradually darkened.

He's getting more and more out of control!

Then as if he had thought of something, Kun Xu said, "Very well, then forget about your cup of tea."

As he spoke, Kun Xu took out a supreme-grade tea set and placed it in front of Kun Yu. He then started cleansing them with the supreme-grade spirit springwater cherished by the Kun race.

After using spirit flames to boil and clean the tea set, the whole tea set was emitting a faint fragrance of tea. That was the scent left behind by the spirit tea, which was brewed in the past.

The sound of Dao could be vaguely heard. It was surrounded by mysterious laws and extraordinarily profound.

Kun Ming pursed his lips.

Isn't it just enlightenment tea!

That damned Shen Tian bewitched Pianxian and stole my love. Don't think that I'll bear a debt of gratitude for you after returning the Kun Peng Dao.

I'll defeat you in a fair and just manner sooner or later, so everyone knows how weak you are!

That's right, Kun Ming did not believe that Shen Tian could defeat Kun Yu even until now.

From his perspective, his sister was obsessed with handsome guys and purposely lost because she saw that Shen Tian was handsome.

As long as I try my best to comprehend the complete Kun Peng Dao, I'll definitely be able to reach the Kun Peng Paragons' height in the future and defeat Shen Tian!

By then, Pianxian will also realize that she's mistaken and return to my arms.

Therefore, now, I definitely cannot let Shen Tian's tea blind my eyes.

At least, it could be said that the Kun race had used the Triple Light Divine Water to exchange for the Kun Peng Dao.

But if I drank Shen Tian's enlightenment tea, then how could I challenge him in the future?

Hmph, I'm definitely not drinking!

I am the firm and unyielding Great Void Kun, how could I lose face for just a single tea leaf?

Just when Kun Ming made up his mind not to drink this enlightenment tea and concentrated on comprehending the complete Kun Peng Dao, Kun Xu finally took out the tea leaf.

Before even opening the white jade bottle, that mysterious Dao sound could already be heard resounding in the air.

That Dao sound was so profound and ethereal that one could not even begin to comprehend it. It contained a special charm.

The instant the sound of Dao echoed, Kun Xu and Kun Yu could clearly sense the Kun Peng Dao's divine power within them becoming active.

Kun Ming, who was inside the fish tank, seemed to be immersed in comprehending the Kun Peng Dao with his eyes closed, but his mouth twitched unconsciously.

Kun Xu smiled as he took the Enlightenment tea leaf that was shining with silver light out of the white jade bottle. That ethereal sound of Dao became much clearer.

The tea leaf floated in the air without wind, as if it was a miniature Kun Peng, floating up and down in the Spirit Qi.

The scent of tea instantly filled the whole palace.

Kun Xu made hand seals one after another, and they entered the Enlightenment tea leaf.

The fragrance of the Enlightenment tea was completely stimulated, and a dense white mist surrounded the whole palace.

It was as if Kun Xu and Kun Yu were on drugs within the rich, fragrant tea scents. They became extremely excited and keen, and their aptitude for enlightenment also increased greatly.

"It's too miraculous!" the Kun King murmured to himself. His voice was low but definitely could be heard by Kun Ming in the fish tank.

His eyes were burning with passion. "This tea leaf is even more extraordinary than I've thought. It's definitely not from a Tree of Enlightenment that is 100,000 years old.

"It's at least a Tree of Enlightenment that is 300,000 years old, or it might even be 500,000 years old and above!

"Just the value of this tea leaf could be compared to a Sage artifact!

"Just the price of this pot of tea could be compared to a Sage artifact. It's too extravagant!

"Yu'er, drink a few more cups later."

Kun Yu revealed a charming smile. "I understand. I'll definitely try my best to comprehend the Kun Peng dao and improve my bloodline to become a true Kun Peng."

Kun Xu nodded his head in relief as he brewed the enlightenment tea. "I am relieved that you have such a resolution."

The scent of tea became more and more fragrant within the palace. Kun Ming, who was circulating divine power within him, slowly stopped, and the sound of gulping down his saliva could be heard.

His originally tightly closed eyes opened, and he stared intently at that boiling tea.

This smell... is really nice!

However, Kun Xu had no intentions of sharing the tea with Kun Ming.

He used spirit spring water to brew the Enlightenment tea leaf, and he slowly separated the Dao from the tea leaf to make the first pot of tea.

After gradually pouring a cup for himself and Kun Yu, Kun Xu smiled and said, "Yu'er, I want to invite the Divine Firmament Saint to become our human partner. What do you think?"

As if having thought of something, Kun Yu blushed. "Father is the king of our race, so why do you have to discuss with me regarding the matter of inviting Brother Shen to become our human partner?"

Kun Xu revealed a smile as if he had seen through everything. "Well, it's you who will be required to sign the contract with the Divine Firmament Saint!

"Naturally, your wish must be taken into consideration. Of course, if you're unwilling, I could also pick another lady from our race to sign the contract with the Divine Firmament Saint."

Since the person he's going to ride on is you!

Kun Yu drank the enlightenment tea bit by bit, and her face turned red as she gulped down the warm tea.

She thought for a moment and said, "The Divine Firmament Saint is the strongest prodigy in Eastern Wilderness and has quite a deep relationship with the Dragon race. If just any woman from our race is chosen to form a contract with him, it may seem as if we do not think highly of him.

"I am the first princess of the race and have enjoyed the honors which it brings. Thus, it is natural that I must assume the responsibility of a princess. Of course, father is the one who decides on the matters regarding the contract."

In the fish tank, Kun Ming, "???"

What's happening now?

Why is the Divine Firmament Saint becoming the human partner of our Kun race?

Have you asked for my opinion? Don't you know that I have a grudge with that bastard, and I'll definitely beat him up in the future?

That scoundrel Shen Tian, not only did he snatch my Pianxian, but he even dares to lay his hands on my sister! Is it possible that he's going to beat me up with my sister in the future?

Damn it. You're going too far, going too far!

Kun Ming opened his eyes and shouted in the fish tank, "I object! I veto that bastard becoming the human partner of our race!"

The Kun King glanced at his dumb son and just continued drinking his enlightenment tea. "It's not like Saint Shen Tian is going to contract with you. What qualifications do you, a good-for-nothing, have to object?"

After drinking the enlightenment tea, the Kun King was glowing with bright silver light. His eyes were as deep and profound as the ocean.

He exclaimed, "Good tea, this tea is indeed good! If I enter seclusion for a few days after drinking this tea, I can definitely gain a deeper understanding of the Kun Peng Dao. I'll finally improve my cultivation level!"

Kun Yu said, "Father, our race is on bad terms with the Dragon race. What if the Divine Firmament Saint refuses to sign the contract with me because of Black Dragon Island?"

The Kun King was slightly stunned, and then his expression darkened.

That's right!

What if the Divine Firmament Saint rejects?

If it's others, it's already a stroke of luck for them to be our human partner.

However, the Kun King would not forget the fact that Shen Tian was a true Son of Providence. He was just like the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao.

There seems to be no difference for him even if he does not become the human partner of the Kun race.

This coattail is not that easy to be ridden!

Sigh... Even this tea I'm drinking seems to have lost its taste!

After a long while, the Kun King clapped his hands. "That's right, let the Divine Firmament Saint comprehend the forbidden tablet!"

Comprehend the forbidden tablet?

Kun Yu seemed to be very worried. "Father, are you serious?"

The so-called forbidden tablet referred to a bronze tablet that the Kun race's ancestors had retrieved from the Abyss of Despair. Mysterious Dao markings were carved on it.

Those Dao markings were extremely profound and unpredictable, containing the knowledge of the great Dao. Even Sage cultivators coveted it.

Rumors said that the Great Void Kun race's ancestors' cultivation levels had increased greatly after they understood this bronze tablet.

Thus, they had ruled over North Sea, and the Great Void Kun race had been formed.

Therefore, this tablet had been named as the origin tablet of the Great Void Kun race and had extraordinary status. Those who were not the core prodigies of the race would not get close to it.

Even the Great Sage Kun Peng had once taken the risk to dive 40,000,000 feet deep into the Abyss of Despair in the hope of finding a treasure like this tablet.

It was a pity he had not had that luck and died.

Then why did the Kun race call such a miraculous tablet the forbidden tablet?

The reason was simple—besides the first generation of ancestors, other prodigies of the Kun race did not have a good end after comprehending this tablet.

There were some that sat in front of the tablet for thousands of decades, reaching the end of their lifespan but still unable to awaken.

There were some that were forcibly pulled away from the tablet, but they suffered from Qi Deviation and exploded.

There were some that seemed to have successfully grasped a certain miraculous technique but then were absorbed by the tablet.

That's right, absorbed by the tablet.

Those prodigies were smiling when they were being absorbed as if it was an honor for them to merge with the tablet.

Such a strange ending naturally sent shivers down the back of countless people of the Kun race.

Thus, with the lapse of time, no one dared to comprehend this forbidden tablet anymore, and few even talked about it.

The Kun King had a passionate look in his eyes.

"As everyone knows, without extraordinary talent or providence, it's simply looking for death trying to comprehend this tablet! However, does Shen Tian not have them?" The Kun King was determined as he said, "If even Shen Tian is unable to comprehend the tablet, then no one else will be able to."

It's a pity that our ancestors did not leave behind the complete heritage after successfully comprehending the tablet as "the method was too dangerous".

If not, we could directly teach it to Shen Tian, so he wouldn't need to take such a risk.

"I'll tell this to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Divine Firmament Saint first and inform them of the pros and cons clearly!"

After thinking for a moment, the Kun King felt that he should be more cautious since there could be no benefits. However, he definitely could not become the scapegoat if something went wrong.

As the Kun King and Kun Yu drank the enlightenment teacup after cup, that pot of tea was almost finished.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kun Ming was getting anxious.

He had just obtained the Kun Peng Dao, so the enlightenment tea's temptation was indescribable.

He originally thought that his father was only pretending not to give him. They were father and son, so no matter what, his father would give him a cup.

He never expected his father to be this heartless and not even leave a cup for him.

Is it possible that I am his adopted son?

Upon seeing that even the last bit of enlightenment tea was poured out of the teapot, Kun Ming could not resist anymore.

He opened his eyes and stared at Kun Xu and Kun Yu anxiously.

"Erm, father, sister... This tea smells quite nice! Could-could you give me a cup?"

Chapter 338: Purple-Green Double Swords, Peerless Sword Technique

The Sacred Light Palace used to accommodate the Kun race's most exalted guests.

The palace was carved entirely from precious North Sea crystals. It was pristine and very lovely.

All sorts of exotic plants with exquisite fragrances were carefully cultivated around the palace. Just the Spirit Qi in this place alone was far more intense than anywhere else in North Sea.

Shen Tian sat cross-legged in the seclusion room in the Sacred Light Palace. He took out the storage ring which Kun Xu had given him.

To be honest, this Kun Xu fellow had been rather generous. This ring had a storage space as ample as his own Archeon Sea Ring. Just this ring alone was worth as much as a supreme-grade Spirit artifact.

Of course, the value of this storage ring still paled in comparison to the items stored inside.

Inside this storage ring were three Sage-level artifacts and a ball of crystalline divine water, which exuded a soft glow.

The first Sage artifact was a silver cloak covered in faint runes. It was nearly merged as one with space and not easily detected unless observed closely.

A jade slip hung on that cloak, which contained an explanation of the history of this cloak.

This cloak was called "Void Cloak". It was a low-end Sage artifact but was worth more than a normal mid-range Sage artifact.

This was because this cloak could mask one's aura perfectly when worn. One would be able to merge completely with the void, and even a Sage who had undergone tribulations would find it difficult to detect you.

In battles, this clock also had the ability to manipulate space and help its wearer divert powerful attacks. It was a very valuable defensive artifact.

Although its aura-concealing properties were not useful to Shen Tian, he liked the design of the cloak. And it was very compatible with his Kun Peng arts.

When he wore this cloak, his Kun Peng arts would be able to merge with the void, thus increasing their powers.

As for the second and third Sage artifacts, they were a pair of low-end sacred swords. One was completely purple, while the other was completely green.

These two swords were a pair, and when used together, their powers were comparable to a mid-range Sage artifact. They possessed a lethal might that was exceptional and fearsome.

According to legends, this pair of swords came from the Shu Shan Sacred Ground and was a replica of Shu Shan's treasure, the Purple-Green Double Swords.

The true Purple-Green Double Swords were forged from two types of peerless Immortal Metals. They were Thearch-level weapons and possessed a power that would dominate over the five regions.

These two swords were much inferior to the real ones, but they were still great weapons carefully refined by some powerful Sword Sage 10,000 years ago in the primordial battlefield.

That year on the battlefield, countless Evil Spirits had fallen at the hands of this pair of sacred swords. They were a formidable pair.

A pity that the Sword Sage had still been just a Sage. He had been killed by the enemies then.

And by a stroke of luck, those sacred swords had landed in the Kun race's hands.

But since ancient times, there were few in the Kun race who liked to use swords. This pair of sacred swords had remained untouched in the treasure vault of the Kun race since.

Since they had to give the Divine Firmament Saint something, these two swords were the perfect gift. Kun Xu remembered that the Divine Firmament Saint was fond of using swords.

As the disciple of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Shen Tian's sword techniques were pretty good. He would definitely appreciate this pair of Purple-Green Double Swords!

And Kun Xu was right. Shen Tian really liked this pair of Purple-Green Double Swords.

Powers aside, their design alone was very cool.

The purple sword looked like it had been carved from purple jade, shimmering with a deep resonance that was extraordinarily beautiful.

The green sword was just as exquisite. It didn't look like a lethal weapon but a work of art.

These two swords paled in comparison to the Executing Heaven Sword.

But the Executing Heaven Sword was Shen Tian's trump card. These two swords were just right for him to use on a daily basis. To fight your everyday common enemies.

Shen Tian reached out his right hand and squeezed a drop of reddish-golden blood out. He then split the drop in two and sent them into the swords.

Those two swords suddenly erupted in a dazzling light.

The entire Sacred Light Palace was enveloped in the light emitted by the Purple-Green Double Swords. An overpowering sword intent spread across tens of thousands of miles, making countless deep-sea creatures shiver in fear.

Clear, ringing sounds rang out from those two swords as if they were congratulating themselves for having found a new owner. And such a handsome one at that.

Well!

The Sage-level swords did not have any self-awareness and did not experience joy, sadness, or anger.

They were vibrating so intensely because a Divine Sword Constitution's blood had activated them.

After absorbing Shen Tian's blood, the powers of the two swords were fully replenished. They started sparring with each other, radiating with a faint, mysterious sword technique.

Shen Tian was in no hurry to keep the swords but let them carry out their moves in front of him.

The purple and green swords clashed over and over again as if two mighty swordmasters were sparring with each other.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian's eyes glowed silver as he exuded a profound sword intent all over. He was carefully analyzing and learning this sword technique.

He could feel that this sword technique was quite extraordinary. It was causing his Divine Sword Constitution to hum and buzz. It was clearly not your usual legacy. It might even be a Thearch-level technique!

Perhaps this sword technique was the Shu Shan Sword Imperial Sutra practiced by the original owner of this pair of Purple-Green Double Swords!

If it was someone else, it would be impossible for them to understand this highly-classified legacy from the Shu Shan Sacred Ground just by watching the Purple-Green Double Swords.

But Shen Tian had the Divine Sword Constitution and the Connate Constitution. His ability to understand the sword techniques was enough to make a peerless sword cultivator break out in cold sweat. At that moment, he managed to understand quite a number of profound concepts.

"Purple-Green Sword Technique!"

Shen Tian's eyes shone as he reached out his hands to summon the swords.

Streaks of purple-green sword aura shot out of his body, spreading out for thousands of feet.

If Shen Tian was not still inside his seclusion room, the entire Sacred Light Palace would probably be thrashed by his sword aura.

Come, sword!

Shen Tian's eyes hardened. The sparring purple and green swords instantly morphed into two streaks of light shooting straight into his hands.

Purple and green sword light surged from those two swords. Shen Tian was engulfed in that sword light and looked just like a sword deity!

Cling!

Shen Tian struck out with those two swords in unison, from which two beams of light shot out for over 100 miles, turning a huge rock into a pile of dust.

And this was not Shen Tian's limit. He felt that he could go even further if he wanted to.

It was clear that this Purple-Green Sword technique was a formidable sword legacy.

When cultivated to the highest levels, one could kill someone from thousands of miles away.

Its lethality was terrifying!

More importantly, it looked extremely cool and awesome!

The Kun race was really generous by giving him this Thearch-level sword technique and the pair of sage artifacts.

Shen Tian happily kept the Purple-Green Double Swords and looked at the final gift—the Triple Light Divine Water.

This was the treasure that stirred Shen Tian's heart the most.

After all, no matter how valuable those three Sage-level artifacts were, they were not absolutely necessary for Shen Tian. They would not be a major boost to Shen Tian's battle prowess.

However, this type of extraordinary item, especially one that was ranked in the top ten, was a perfect complement to Shen Tian's special constitution.

If he could absorb and refine this Triple Light Divine Water, his battle prowess would definitely be greatly enhanced.

After all, this was ranked sixth on the Absolute Water List. It was even more precious than the First Essence Heavy Water.

After taking the Triple Light Divine Water out of the storage ring, Shen Tian could feel an intense desire rising from his own body.

He. Wanted. It.

He reached his right hand into the divine water.

Suddenly, the crystalline divine water seeped into Shen Tian's hands and into his body.

The surging lifeforce filled Shen Tian from top to bottom, and a light shone out of every single orifice of his body.

The Triple Light Divine Water was radiating. It possessed the powerful ability to resurrect and rejuvenate.

If any critically injured mortal stood beside Shen Tian now, they just had to come into contact with a bit of that divine light, and they would be completely healed.

This was the treasure ranked number six on the Absolute Water List—Triple Light Divine Water!

The Kun race was really generous~

Just as Shen Tian was feeling very blissful and content, a voice rang out in his mind. "Saint, please come to the Kun Palace."

It was a very familiar voice. It was the Kun King's voice.

Wasn't this guy supposed to be busy comprehending the Kun Peng Dao now?

Shen Tian was startled. But since the Kun King had given him so many benefits, he had no choice but to entertain him.

After making some minute adjustments, Shen Tian morphed into a golden light and shot straight toward the Kun Palace, whereby he attracted countless stares on the way.

It was really very rare to see such a handsome human in the Abyss of Despair!

At the Kun Palace, the Kun King and Kun Yu were now familiar sights to him.

The only thing that surprised Shen Tian was the presence of Kun Ming.

This big, burly fellow stood there like a huge, bad-tempered black bear.

But it was clear that the Kun King was curbing Kun Ming. He did not lash out at Shen Tian when he saw him.

On the contrary, his face was flushed a deep red as he gave Shen Tian a shallow bow.

"Shen Tian, I apologize to you!

"I went against you because of Princess Pianxian. I kept wanting to teach you a lesson, but not only did you not hold a grudge against me, but you also returned the Kun Peng Dao and helped me recover.

"You even gave my people the Enlightenment tea leaves. My father already told me everything. I... I should learn from you!"

Kun Ming's face turned increasingly red as he spoke. He looked like he had just been fished out of a hotpot!

Kun Ming swore that he had never been so embarrassed in his life!

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

He had promised his father that he would offer the Divine Firmament Saint a sincere apology. Only then would he be able to drink the enlightenment tea.

The fragrance of the tea was just too good!

Father was right. Only if I put down those things weighing myself down, can I then seek to fly higher.

For example, pride!

So I no longer need any pride!

At this thought, Kun Ming seemed to have understood something.

Even the Kun Peng Dao, which he had been stuck trying to figure it out, suddenly seemed to make a little more sense now.

For a moment there, Kun Ming's aura became even more powerful and wondrous. It was like he could morph into a Peng anytime now and fly up into the air.

This fellow seemed to have grown stronger.

Shen Tian didn't give it much thought, nonetheless. He did not bear any grudge toward Kun Ming.

After all, he was the one taking advantage of all these prodigies. He held a benevolent heart toward all of them.

These prodigies needed love and forgiveness. Even if one of them viewed him as the enemy, he would use love to change their mind, to conquer them.

Over time, all these prodigies would grow up and become stronger, turning into Shen Tian's precious treasures.

This was the power of love!

Shen Tian smiled. "Brother Kun, you are too kind. The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Kun race have been on good terms since ancient times. It was just a small misunderstanding. No need to think about it anymore."

The Kun King glanced at Kun Yu with a smile. "That's right. We are all like one big family. This silly kid was being ignorant the previous time. It is good that Saint Shen is not angry."

After a short pause, the Kun King looked at Shen Tian. "I wonder if you have heard about our race's forbidden tablet?"

Forbidden tablet?

Shen Tian frowned slightly. Just the name alone sounded scary.

The Kun King explained the entire history of the forbidden tablet. He did not try to hide the dismal fates of those unlucky folks who failed.

There was only one person who managed to understand the tablet and become a Thearch. The rest all died?

Shen Tian shuddered. Only a fool would mess with this thing!

The Kun King did not get anxious even when Shen Tian kept quiet. He continued. "This thing is very dangerous and risky. Saint Shen, you can take your time to consider.

"I have already informed the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, and he is leaving the decision entirely up to you. He will support any decision you make unconditionally."

Is that so?

Shen Tian shut his eyes and kept silent for a bit.

After some time, he opened his eyes again. "I am a great prodigy and should have nothing to fear.

"This forbidden tablet is dangerous and mysterious, but since someone has already successfully comprehended it, then so can I!

"I am going to conquer this forbidden tablet!"

His words were so inspiring that Kun Yu's eyes sparkled with adoration.

Even Kun Ming secretly felt somewhat amazed.

This is such a dangerous, forbidden tablet. Isn't the Divine Firmament Saint even the least bit scared?

This Divine Firmament Saint is really charming and attractive. He is worthy enough to compete with me for Princess Pianxian.

But I am just grudgingly acknowledging him as my foe. There's no way I will lose to him!

The Mermaid Princess can only belong to me!

Chapter 339: Kun Thearch Is Really Quite Smart

At the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, inside the God of War Pagoda...

Zhang Longyuan and Ye Qingcang sat facing each other with a side table between them.

Ye Qingcang was brewing tea, and the purple tea leaves were soaking inside the bubbling spirit spring water. A wonderful fragrance wafted from it.

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura rippled. "Leaves cultivated for over 10,000 years on the Tree of Enlightenment. It is indeed extraordinary. This is really the kind of tea that should exist only in the heavens."

You are getting so excited over these tea leaves?

Wouldn't you have a breakdown if you saw all those Enlightenment tea leaves which your disciple plundered?

This fellow had been practicing the Heavenly Dao Sutra, his aura rippling all day long, but still didn't bear the manner of a pure and holy Sage untouched by emotions.

Ye Qingcang pursed his lips. "You specially came here to drink tea with me?"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader replied calmly, "Senior Brother Azure Lotus has brought a number of disciples to North Sea. I will be setting off soon too, so I came here to bid you farewell."

"Go on then. I will not miss you."

Ye Qingcang waved his hand as he pursed his lips.

Sigh... I wonder when Tian'er will be able to return?

After seeing that silver peerless Enlightenment tea leaf, Ye Qingcang just felt that these common Enlightenment leaves were not that fragrant anymore.

It was all that little rascal's fault. He had brought him to the seventh floor to drink some enlightenment tea, and the moment his back was turned, that rascal had chopped a branch off that tree.

Hmph. Heard that that little rascal brought that branch back to Middle Ground and managed to grow a brand new tree from it. Unbelievable!

But the God of War Pagoda's Tree of Enlightenment had suffered a major blow as a result of that. He had to spend many years cultivating it back to health.

Otherwise, this Tree of Enlightenment would have already attained the special status of a million-year-old tree.

Yes, it was all that little rascal's fault! I am not just trying to discredit him!

A 100,000-year-old tree compared to a 1,000,000-year-old tree. The difference is huge!

It's all that little rascal's fault for cutting off that branch. He has to pay!

Sooner or later, I will go to Middle Ground to seek my compensation!

But to be fair, the Tree of Enlightenment was really a very precious treasure. Even the God of War Palace only had that 900,000-year-old mother tree, while the God of War Pagoda had its 120,000-year-old offspring.

It was already a miracle that that little rascal had managed to grow a living tree from that chopped-off branch.

How was it that there was another million-year-old Tree of Enlightenment in the Chaotic Star Island domain? It was unimaginable!

As worldly as Ye Qingcang was, he remained extremely astounded whenever he recalled what Shen Tian had told him about that Tree of Enlightenment.

The origins of that tree were just too amazing.

This mortal realm was not that simple after all!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader saw that Ye Qingcang kept refusing to pour tea for him, but he remained unperturbed.

He took up the teapot himself and took a sip. "Why did you agree to let Tian'er try and decipher the forbidden tablet?"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had always believed that Shen Tian was the true Son of Providence. Nonetheless, when the Kun King had asked him if he would let Shen Tian try to decipher the forbidden tablet, he had still been quite worried.

This was because this tablet was just too bizarre. The Kun prodigies were not the only ones who had succumbed to it. Prodigies from the other races had also fallen at its hands.

The Kun race had once put this tablet on public display 10,000 years ago. All prodigies from the five regions could try and decipher it.

However, no matter how outstanding the prodigy was, none of them had managed to succeed.

Some had deviated down the wrong path, some had suffered spontaneous combustion, and that tablet had completely swallowed some.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader felt that this was just too risky.

After all, this was not something which you could get lucky and recover from. It would be a one-way road to hell if one failed.

Ye Qingcang smiled. "Don't worry. That kid is very smart! He will never put himself in danger. Moreover, my divine consciousness will be by his side, watching over him."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader thought about it before standing up. "I am still worried."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura rippled as he said, "I should personally head down to North Sea to set up a protection array for Tian'er!"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was not worried about Shen Tian meeting the same dire fates as those before him who had tried to decipher the tablet.

Given Shen Tian's talent, providence, and powers, if he could not decipher that table, then no one could.

After all, my disciple has the potential to be a Thearch!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was worried the Kun race might get jealous of Shen Tian if he managed to gain some amazing legacy from that forbidden tablet. What would those Kuns do then?

The current Kun King and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had been good friends for many years.

Nonetheless, the Kun race consisted of more than just the Kun King alone. Many other Kun elders possessed rather high authority.

The Kun King had gone against popular vote to give the Triple Light Divine Water to Shen Tian. There must already be some elders who were not happy with that.

Suppose Shen Tian managed to decipher some earth-shattering, indomitable technique from that forbidden tablet. In that case, he might invoke the displeasure of some of the powerful Kun practitioners who might then attack him.

Of course, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was not that worried about him being attacked by those practitioners.

After all, given Shen Tian's providence, who across the five regions was able to harm him?

Whoever opposed a Son of Providence would face death.

What the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was worried about was not being by Tian'er's side when he got attacked. How could he still be called his Master then? He would lose so many brownie points!

Just the thought of that made his heart ache!

No way. He could not remain in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground a minute longer.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura vibrated intensely. He left the God of War Pagoda and went straight into a void tunnel, speeding toward North Sea.

Meanwhile, under the Kun King's lead, Shen Tian had already arrived at the valley where the forbidden tablet was located.

This valley was about 18,000 feet deep into the Abyss of Despair. Technically, this was already beyond the Kun race's restricted area. It was guarded by the Kun elders all year long.

Shen Tian had just stepped into the valley when he felt 10 powerful auras sweeping in. Every single one of them was at least a Heavenly Venerable and above.

And they were highly powerful and experienced Heavenly Venerables. Their battle prowess was far above that of new Heavenly Venerables like Kun Yu.

No one dared to try and decipher this forbidden tablet, but the Kun race still guarded it carefully.

The Kun King explained, "This forbidden tablet is very strange. Our founding ancestor discovered it in some deep region of the Abyss of Despair, but it is completely immovable by any sort of art.

"That year, our founding ancestor made use of his Infinite Strength technique but was still unable to shift this tablet even an inch. The attempt even injured him."

The corners of Shen Tian's lips twitched. "Even a Sage is unable to move it?"

The Kun King said in resignation, "Our founding ancestor was already a certified Thearch then."

Damn!

Damn, damn, damn!

A great, indomitable Thearch who had undergone 36 lightning tribulations was unable to move this tablet and was even injured by the attempt?

What the hell is this thing?

And why was that Kun Thearch so weak?

A great Thearch being stumped by a piece of stone. That's too uncool!

And didn't they say that the great Kun Thearch managed to decipher part of that tablet? Why did the tablet still hurt him then?

Shen Tian secretly sneered at that great Kun Thearch but didn't voice out any of his thoughts. Instead, he asked, "In that case, how did this tablet get transported to this valley?"

The Kun King smiled mysteriously. "Our founding ancestor took advantage of a moment when the tablet was not paying attention and executed his indomitable technique, carving out the entire piece of land which the tablet was resting upon. He then transported that piece of land here.

"His array was big enough, and he moved fast enough, so he did not trigger any counterattack by that tablet."

Shen Tian, "???"

Taking advantage of a moment when the tablet was not paying attention and moving its entire home?

Dear founding ancestor, you are really quite a smart Kun!

Chapter 340: Mysterious Great Empress, All In One Sweep

Under the Kun King's lead, Shen Tian entered the valley without any opposition from the Kun elders.

Shen Tian could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding Spirit Qi as he stepped into the valley.

The Spirit Qi in this valley was ten times thicker than that of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. All sorts of exotic plant life flourished all around.

If not for the fact that he had a Divine Firmament Saint's reputation to upkeep, Shen Tian felt like secretly collecting some.

Ahem, ahem...

More importantly, this valley had a very special array. It was more clear and detailed than the other arrays as if it had been refined before.

The more clear and detailed an array was, the more easily one could gain enlightenment and improve their cultivation level.

Cultivating long-term in such a place would enable one to reap twice the benefits for the same effort.

Those Mighty Prowess Kun elders stayed in seclusion here to greatly improve and break through to the Sage stage!

"Saint, I can only accompany you to this point."

The Kun King led Shen Tian to the periphery of the valley. The Spirit Qi here was already so thick that one could see it as if it was a mist.

Taking a deep breath here was like eating an elixir.

It was worth mentioning that there was a red zone marked out in blood in front of the Kun King and Shen Tian.

The Kun King said, "The forbidden tablet has a very strange allure. All those who go near it will have an intense desire to try and decipher it. And then... they will succumb to a dire fate.

"So I cannot be by your side, helping you with a protective array. You have to make the rest of the journey on your own."

The Kun King took out a jade pendant. "This is the Great Void Divine Jade. Keep it with you. If you meet with any danger or injuries or... Ahem... This jade will automatically break into pieces and teleport you back out.

"Of course, if the forbidden tablet insists on holding onto you, this jade will not be able to bring you back.

"So you must be very mindful of your safety at all times.

"Don't ever lose yourself in the deep end."

After accepting the Great Void Divine Jade and noticing the Kun King's concerned expression, Shen Tian felt somewhat uncomfortable.

However, as the Divine Firmament Saint, he should be fearless.

Shen Tian smiled. "Kun King, don't worry. I have nothing to fear. If I cannot decipher the forbidden tablet, my seven-foot body might as well be buried inside the tablet."

With that, Shen Tian spread open his golden wings and shot off.

At that moment, Shen Tian looked extremely dashing and heroic.

Kun Ming and Kun Yu were both silent as they watched Shen Tian's departing figure. They remained quiet for a long time after.

Kun Yu's blue hair was gently swept back by the breeze. "Father, do you think the Divine Firmament Saint will really be able to decipher the forbidden tablet?"

Kun Ming was also somewhat subdued. "It's clear that he can become an elite practitioner via just normal cultivation. Why is he risking his life for this? Is it worth it?"

The Kun King sighed. "Perhaps this is the true Son of Providence! It wouldn't matter if he hadn't heard of the forbidden tablet. But now that he has the chance, how can he refuse?"

As for whether Shen Tian would be able to decipher the forbidden tablet?

The Kun King did not dare to speculate. But even if Shen Tian failed, he probably wouldn't die, right?

Since ancient times, all those prodigies who had tried to decipher the forbidden tablet, although most of them had deviated down the wrong path or suffered self-combustion, only about 90% died.

About eight or ten managed to endure the process and re-emerge with refreshed souls and bodies.

Although they hadn't obtained any formidable technique, their potential had gotten a huge boost, and they had ended up doing great things.

As for whether Shen Tian would be able to successfully decipher the forbidden tablet and become the second "Great Kun Thearch", the Kun King did not harbor high hopes for that.

Nonetheless, given Shen Tian's natural talent and providence, it should not be difficult for him to escape relatively unharmed from the forbidden tablet.

Shen Tian would definitely improve greatly after being honed by that tablet.

And this was probably the main reason why the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader had agreed to let Shen Tian try deciphering that forbidden tablet!

What didn't kill you would make you stronger.

Since ancient times, which great prodigy had never taken a risk? A prodigy who didn't take risks, could they still call themselves a prodigy?

The Kun King gazed in the direction which Shen Tian left and muttered to himself, "If the Divine Firmament Saint is able to return successfully, we will make him our human partner and fully support his efforts in becoming a Thearch."

Shen Tian was an exceptional prodigy, so they couldn't let the Dragon race monopolize him!

Shen Tian had no idea what the Kun King was thinking.

He had already reached the valley's core area and was unable to continue further.

He could already feel the tremendous attraction emanating from the valley. If he continued any further, he might encounter some trouble.

Moreover, the Spirit Qi here had accumulated into a very thick fog.

If Shen Tian's Connate Constitution didn't have an X-ray ability, he would have been completely blind and lost all sense of direction.

"This is a bit similar to the Spirit Fog Mountain Valley but more challenging. This forbidden tablet is not that simple!"

Shen Tian gave a slight frown. He had already found the forbidden tablet.

It was a 49-feet-tall bronze tablet situated in the center of the valley.

To be honest, the tablet didn't look that big to Shen Tian. His Sky-Smashing Palm was easily several hundred feet wide.

But after standing right in front of it, Shen Tian felt like he was face-to-face with an entire universe—an unfathomable black hole.

Shen Tian had seen the tablet left behind by the Eternal Thearch on Dragon God Island. That tablet was at least 100 feet tall and covered in mysterious runes.

However, this tablet was very simple. There was only a black vortex design on it, which held an infinite power of attraction. It was like all Spirit Qi, living creatures, divine consciousness, and souls would be immediately swallowed on contact.

Shen Tian felt that this forbidden tablet was far more threatening than that eternal life tablet.

Shen Tian took a deep breath and opened his arms.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in white appeared in front of him.

Shen Tian smiled. "I have the Triple Light Divine Water and three Sage-level artifacts. I cannot take that risk."

Shen Tian B nodded. "I have the chaotic aura inside me, and I don't know if there will be any long-term side effects. So let me be your stand-in."

If they could decipher the forbidden tablet, it would be worth it.

If something really went wrong with the forbidden tablet, Shen Tian would not feel too bad losing this clone tainted by the chaotic aura.

After all, this chaotic aura was like a parasite residing inside Shen Tian B's body. It absorbed so much five-element essence but was unable to be refined.

And Shen Tian did not dare to promise that this chaotic aura would not explode or go crazy in the future.

The forbidden tablet was said to be able to swallow all kinds of energy. It had even absorbed some prodigies into it.

And the chaotic aura inside Shen Tian could also swallow all sorts of energy. Even Sages did not dare to touch it.

Shen Tian wanted to see what would happen when these two things came together.

Who would win?

Shen Tian B approached the forbidden tablet while the original Shen Tian headed away toward the valley's borders.

When watching something unfold, it was very important to maintain a safe distance.

Everyone knew that when disasters happened, many bystanders would end up as collateral damage.

Further, a bit further...

Shen Tian retreated several dozen miles away until he could barely see the tablet anymore. He then finally came to a stop.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian B was already sitting cross-legged in front of the forbidden tablet and studying its patterns.

Shen Tian was also on high alert. The moment he felt that anything was not quite right, he would immediately break off the divine consciousness connection.

In the cultivation world, one must always put safety first!

Shen Tian B studied the tablet intensely. His right hand caressed the runes on the tablet, suddenly feeling an intense desire and yearning for it.

Shen Tian B felt as if the vortex image on the tablet was slowly starting to spin, exuding a wondrous aura.

And within that vortex image, he could almost see all life and death in the universe, the rise and fall of the heavens, and the decline of gods and demons.

He saw a massive vortex crossing the endless Milky Way, swallowing countless gods and demons.

Headless giant Dragons, Phoenixes with broken wings, Buddha weeping tears of blood, dismembered Heavenly Thearchs...

All sorts of powerful beings were sucked into the vortex and endless whirlpool, eventually being dissolved into nothing.

And in the center of that indomitable vortex was a white sacred lotus flower, its petals still closed.

The lotus flower exuded a pure, harsh, and very formidable sword aura.

Shen Tian felt somewhat dazed. This special effects thing was really something!

He could feel that this ancient tablet was not that simple!

Shen Tian carefully started deciphering the tablet. The Heart of the Sword inside his body vibrated.

It was like he was resonating along with this tablet, deciphering some hidden and forbidden indomitable technique from it.

The white lotus flower suddenly bloomed, turning the entire black vortex into a dazzling sight. And that shapeless power of attraction seemed to increase by over a hundred times, such that Shen Tian's divine consciousness was instantly sucked into it.

Yes, Shen Tian's. Not Shen Tian B's.

Several dozen miles away, Shen Tian's eyes suddenly turned misty as his divine consciousness was drawn into a wondrous void.

Thousands of miles away in the Abyss of Despair, on a desolate island...

Shen Tian, dressed in his Longyuan Divine Armor, was boiling eggs in tea with Ye Qingcang. The fragrant smell of the tea-infused eggs was mouth-watering.

One man, one spirit. One youth, one elderly. Both were eagerly eating those eggs. Suddenly, Shen Tian froze.

He looked at Ye Qingcang. "Damn, old man. Didn't you say that nothing bad would happen—"

Before he could complete his sentence, Shen Tian's eyes misted over.

Ye Qingcang was dumbstruck.

What's happening?

It's just a simple trip to the Kun race territory to benefit from a fortuitous opportunity. How did things end up like this?

Ye Qingcang could clearly feel that Shen Tian's soul was being dragged into another forbidden void.

It would be very difficult for him to return on his own if no one pulled him back.

"Damn, have we bitten off more than we can chew?"

Ye Qingcang quickly stuffed the rest of his into his mouth before gulping down the whole bowl of tea soup.

Able to suck a soul even from thousands of miles away, is this some great power from the netherworld?

Even if it was really some great power from the netherworld, it couldn't possibly be able to snatch this kid's soul from right under my nose!

Damn, this mortal world is not that simple!

The corners of Ye Qingcang's mouth twitched. He quickly formed some hand seals.

Want to take my godson's soul? Not that easy!

Main body, quickly come and help me pull back this soul!

Millions of miles away, in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground...

Scores of cultivators were kicked out of the God of War Pagoda.

In the next second, the towering God of War Pagoda rose into the air and ripped a big hole in the fabrics of space before barreling right through it.

All those cultivators, who had traveled from afar just to use the God of War Pagoda, could only stare on dumbfounded as the pagoda disappeared.

They had traveled for months before finally arriving at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to use the God of War Pagoda.

"Why did it suddenly fly away again?"

"Eh? Did you say "again"!?"

Chapter 341: Great Empress Appears Again, Chaotic Tinder Sutra

The towering crack-filled God of War Pagoda forcibly traveled through space, and it instantly traversed hundreds of thousands of miles under Ye Qingcang's control.

Of course, the amount of Spirit Qi that was consumed was also immense.

Ye Qingcang had already decided that he would definitely get the little fellow to reimburse him for everything after saving Shen Tian.

Rumble!

The towering God of War Pagoda landed on that desolate island accompanied by a reverberating sound.

Ye Qingcang appeared above the pagoda, and he fixed his eyes on Shen Tian's main body. He was burning with anger!

"His soul has been completely pulled into another space. His clone acted as the medium, forcibly pulling the main body's soul away." Ye Qingcang's expression turned serious. "I've underestimated that so-called forbidden tablet. However, it's not that simple to make a move on my godson!"

The God of War Pagoda instantly shone intensively, merging into Ye Qingcang's body.

In that instant, Ye Qingcang's illusory body turned real, and his aura increased exponentially.

If there was a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator present, they would most likely tremble in fear due to Ye Qingcang's oppressive aura—that kind of strength did not belong to this world!

"Scram, don't block my way!"

He formed countless hand seals with a speed that naked eyes could not discern, and a radiant door with mysterious Dao runes appeared in front of Ye Qingcang.

The purple aura surrounding Ye Qingcang was burning furiously, and his original thin body's muscles instantly bulged out, making him seem exceptionally burly.

"Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers—Blazing Sun Hammer!"

Ye Qingcang held his hands together like he was holding air, and his endless purple aura instantly formed a gargantuan hammer in his hands.

"At least 800,000 Spirit Crystals will be consumed for this strike, such a loss!

"Tian'er, ah, Tian'er. I'll be relying on you to provide for me in the future."

Ye Qingcang was complaining, but he did not stop his actions.

The gargantuan hammer was burning with purplish-red flames—it was like the blazing sun smashing onto that door.

Rumble!

That door trembled vigorously while the space around it was smashed into pieces and returned to nothingness.

However, that door still did not open. It was like an immutable existence, and no external force could shake it.

Ye Qingcang's eyes widened.

"There's such a thing in the mortal world?

"Forget it. If I can't smash it open in one strike, then I'll smash it a few more times. I don't believe that there's a door I can't smash open!"

800,000!

800,000!

800,000!

Ye Qingcang fumed with rage as he smashed the door with all his strength, causing the entire space around the desolate island to crack apart.

That was still because Ye Qingcang had already controlled his strength to the maximum level. Otherwise, if even a tiny bit of his strength leaked, the whole space would become a complete wasteland.

After countless strikes—even the purple light surrounding the God of War Pagoda had dimmed greatly—that resplendent door finally opened slowly.

Success!

Ye Qingcang twisted his old waist as he walked inside that door while holding the purple hammer.

Ye Qingcang rushed into the door, speaking daringly. "Just who in the world is it? Hurry and give me back Shen Tian, or else I'll—"

Three seconds later, a dazzling heavenly light exploded from the door, making everything else lose its color.

A figure in a sorry plight shot out of the door. He was covered in dust, his hair was in a mess, and his face was filled with astonishment and horror.

"OMG! It's her!? Did I engage in a fight with her just now?

"If this becomes known in the Celestial World, then it will be enough for me to brag for another tens of thousands of years!

"Why did she kidnap Tian'er? Is it possible that she's planning to raise him into her husband in the future?

"Tsss! Then I don't need to save him anymore."

In a certain space, Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes. He realized that he was in an empty space and could not see anyone anywhere.

It was a space of chaos, and all he could see was endless gray and white. It was as if heaven and earth had yet to be created.

The gray and white chaotic aura spiraled in the sky, like a huge Grand Primordium millstone, devouring and absorbing all energy in the surroundings.

However, it was not only devouring energy. Shen Tian could vaguely see through that endless chaotic aura in the millstone's center, and... rainbow heavenly light was being created.

If the chaotic aura was described as erosive and all-devouring, then the rainbow heavenly light would make people feel at peace as if it could nurture everything.

The heavenly light was in the center of the millstone. It was as if it was creating a new world and nurturing a new life.

So this is the thing that sucked me into this space through my two clones?

Shen Tian's mouth twitched. He could still remember how that old man had reassured him with lines such as "There's no one that can harm you with your great godfather" or "As long as your main body is beside me, I can easily protect you".

Then what's the situation now? Looks like you have failed!

Shen Tian suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He saw that the heavenly light in the huge millstone started fluctuating.

A figure was born from the rainbow heavenly light. She wore white clothes and looked as if she had cut herself off from the rest of the world. Her body looked like an illusion that could last for eternity.

She was dressed in a snow-white dress. Her back was facing Shen Tian, her jet-black hair flowing naturally down behind her.

This figure was enshrouded in pure divine energy. Her slender figure was silent and unmoving as if she had been standing this way since the beginning of time.

The moment she appeared, even the rainbow heavenly light lost its luster and completely turned into the background.

Such a familiar special effect, familiar sensation...

Shen Tian felt slightly nervous because he had seen this lady before!

She was that Great Empress who had taught him the Flying Sword Technique through the bronze ring.

Even to the current Shen Tian, that Flying Sword Technique was still the most powerful killing strike without exception!

Shen Tian had never expected that he would encounter her when deciphering the forbidden tablet.

However, since they were old lov— Acquaintances, he would at least not lose his life.

Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.

The figure suddenly turned. Shen Tian felt like a beam of light was shining upon him.

At that moment, Shen Tian felt like he was being completely exposed.

F*ck! Again!?

Does this Great Empress have X-ray vision?

It's really embarrassing to be stared at so intensely, okay?

Shen Tian suspected that this person would shirk all responsibility even after looking at him all over in this manner!

A second time at that!

Shen Tian murmured, "Again, have you seen enough?"

Shen Tian's murmur was extremely soft. He was in her territory, after all.

Also, Shen Tian did not count on this figure before him to answer him as she looked extremely cold.

To her, the current Shen Tian was most likely as weak as an ant. Would a dragon answer the question of an ant?

However, what Shen Tian never expected was that the Great Empress actually spoke.

"10,000 years of waiting have not been in vain. You've finally returned."

Huh?

,000 years of waiting have not been in vain? I've finally returned!?

Although Shen Tian was stunned, he was elated.

Is it possible that I might be some incredible mighty being's reincarnation?

Is it possible that this unsurpassed beauty was my partner in my previous life? Then... I won't need to work hard anymore?

Just as Shen Tian was in joy, a ray of blue light suddenly shot out of him.

It was the ring made of simple and ancient bronze. It looked crude and ordinary.

The woman grabbed the ring and gently rubbed it as if she was touching the most precious treasure.

Shen Tian's mouth twitched.

So the "you" in the "You've finally returned" was not referring to me but this bronze ring?

Looks like I overthought...

So this ring is important to her?

But if the Great Empress wanted to take back this ring, why wouldn't she say so earlier?

Given your strength, I'd definitely return it if you wanted to take back this bronze ring.

Why must you pull me into this desolate chaotic space? I'm lacking a sense of security now!

Shen Tian looked toward the Great Empress in the sky timidly. He did not know what she was going to do to him, so he looked at her innocently.

Time passed by minutes and seconds.

As Shen Tian looked at the Great Empress pitifully, she gently rubbed the bronze ring with her hands.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian still felt as if he was being stared at, so it made him extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, this space started shaking.

Shen Tian could see that a door was slowly created in mid-air. It was shining brightly and looked like it was connected to another space.

Someone seemed to be smashing at the other side of the door, forcibly shaking it.

It looked as if the person at the other side would break through the door anytime soon.

The chaotic aura enshrouding the Great Empress swayed gently as she turned to look at that door.

Rumble!

The door was suddenly smashed open, and a purple figure charged in excitedly.

"Give me back Shen Tian, or else I'll—"

Before Shen Tian could even see that figure clearly, the Great Empress had already slowly lifted her hand elegantly.

Smack!

The purple figure was slapped out 10 times faster than it had entered. Then the resplendent door was shut tightly and instantly turned into dust.

The Great Empress turned back and sighed.

Afterward, Shen Tian noticed that the space he was in was collapsing quickly, and his body was also disappearing.

At the last moment, before he lost consciousness, he could vaguely see a silver heavenly light shooting toward him.

In the instant that the heavenly light entered Shen Tian's body, he completely fainted.

After some time, Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was an old man grinning frivolously, his face filled with curiosity.

The old man looked at Shen Tian playfully.

"Tian'er, you've finally woken up. Did that existence tell you anything? Did she find you handsome and tell you to ride on her coattails after ascending? Sigh... There's no choice. We're just too handsome."

Shen Tian's mouth twitched. He definitely wouldn't tell this old thing that the Great Empress had been more interested in that ring than him!

Sigh... It's a pity that she took back the bronze ring with the extraordinary background.

Just as Shen Tian was feeling upset, he was suddenly stunned.

That's because he discovered that the bronze ring was on his ring finger.

Eh? Wasn't this ring taken away?

Why is it still on my hand?

Shen Tian was completely at a loss when he suddenly realized that a ball of light had also appeared in his mind.

He tried touching that ball of light, and a mysterious cultivation technique instantly surged toward him like a tsunami.

It was a cultivation technique that astounded Shen Tian!

Chaotic Tinder Sutra!?

Chapter 342: Ever-changing Heaven Devouring Art, Chaotic Sword Fetus

This heritage was of the same source as Shen Tian's Tinder Sutra and extremely miraculous.

Even the Tinder God of War Sutra that Ye Qingcang ηαδ taught Shen Tian also seemed to pale in comparison to the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

However, it was extremely difficult and dangerous to start learning this cultivation technique as one had to successfully absorb and refine chaotic aura.

One had to know that chaotic aura was one of the most fearsome forms of energy known in the five regions. Even a Sage would be in danger if they encountered it.

It was simply unimaginable for normal people to cultivate this Chaotic Tinder Sutra. After all, they would need to absorb and refine chaotic energy, which would, in turn, instantly devour and kill them.

However, if one could successfully practice this Chaotic Tinder Sutra, its power would also be beyond one's imagination, exceeding any ordinary cultivation technique.

According to the cultivation technique heritage in his mind, if Shen Tian could successfully learn this Chaotic Tinder Sutra, then he would be able to refine and control chaotic energy in the future.

By then, not only would that bit of chaotic aura in his clone not threaten his safety, but it could even become his weapon.

That was the strongest and most destructive killing weapon!

"This technique is so powerful it's frightening. If I can completely get it under control, then it might not be impossible for me to kill Sage cultivators when I become a Nascent Soul cultivator," Shen Tian murmured to himself. His eyes became passionate and filled with excitement.

It's no joke, he would be able to kill a Sage!

Don't think that it was easy to defeat those of higher cultivation levels just because some prodigies could do so.

Yes, Foundation Establishment cultivators could defeat Golden Core cultivators, or Golden Core cultivators could defeat Nascent Soul cultivators. However, that was only because there were just too many pieces of trash that relied on unorthodox methods to forcibly raise their cultivation levels to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul stages.

For example, using evil means such as devouring others' blood or sacrificing others. If there were no one from righteous sects to stop them, they might even create Perfected Ones and Supremacies in batches.

However, those Perfected Ones and Supremacies were powerful on the surface. They were extremely weak in terms of true battle strength.

Once cultivators reached the Soul Formation stage and above, there would be fewer and fewer shortcuts. Basically, those that could become Heavenly Venerables were all top prodigies.

Those prodigies were originally those that could defeat those of higher cultivation levels and were famous in their generation. If one wanted to do the same and defeat them when one was one cultivation stage lower, it would almost be an impossible feat, not to mention killing a Sage.

The five regions' sacred grounds would basically give birth to a Sage every 100 years, and each Sage was a peerless prodigy.

However, even if it was these peerless prodigies, those that could truly reach a step before the Sage stage were just a handful. As for those that could successfully transcend tribulations and become Great Sages, they were extremely rare.

Each existence that could become a Sage was the cream of the crop and could kill enemies of higher cultivation levels like a piece of cake. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to get through the Heavenly Tribulation's lightning test to become Sages.

It was thousands of times more difficult for a Soul Formation cultivator to kill a Sage cultivator than a Golden Core cultivator killing a Nascent Soul cultivator!

If not, the feat of Divine Firmament's First Senior Brother, Chu Longhe, self-destructing and bringing seven people down with him would not have shocked the five regions and even Middle Ground's Celestial Dynasty.

It could be said that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's rise was indeed due to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader keeping a low profile and scheming artfully. At the same time, Chu Longhe's rage, which had allowed him to bring down seven Sages, had also astounded many powerful enemies.

One had to know that Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe were called the "dual prodigies", and it was obvious that the former was much more cunning than the latter.

If Chu Longhe could directly self-destruct and bring down seven Sages with him once enraged, then what if Zhang Longyuan also flared up if the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was driven to a corner?

When two equally matched parties clashed, one had to know that a wicked and cunning opponent would be much more frightening than a brainless opponent.

Thus, those forces that were originally coveting the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had chosen to cease hostilities.

Meanwhile, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had also started to recover under the Sacred Leader's lead.

Cough, cough, we've run off-topic.

Anyway, since ancient times, the number of Soul Formation cultivators that could kill Sages was even rarer than seeing a Sage cultivator.

An existence with such battle prowess would have a status that could be on par with Sages' or even higher status than normal Sages.

If there were no mishaps, they would have the possibility to become Great Sages or even transcend their tribulations and ascend.

Such an existence was called "Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable", which meant that such was the limit of the Soul Formation/Mighty Prowess stage/realm.

Of course, some demon races had given an equivalent name to Nascent Soul/Nirvana stage/realm cultivators/practitioners, that being "Limitless Supremacy", which meant a Supremacy without limits.

If the five regions thought highly and worshiped a Supremacy that could defeat a Heavenly Venerable, then if Shen Tian could defeat a Sage in the Nascent Soul stage... the whole five regions would most likely go crazy!

Shen Tian suddenly felt like showing off while he was understanding the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

Indeed, being handsome has its advantages. Even someone as great as the Great Empress could not resist teaching me cultivation techniques again and again.

The imperial-grade heritages that I possess are already so many that I can't possibly finish practicing them!

Sigh... This might be the worry of being too handsome!

Jokes aside, Shen Tian was quite concentrated when learning this cultivation technique. He was not dumb, after all.

The Great Empress was so powerful that even his great-godfather could not begin to compare.

Thus, how weak could the cultivation techniques she had taught be? He would definitely try his best to cultivate them unless his brain spoiled from being struck by Mixed Divine Lightning.

Shen Tian sat down cross-legged and started to concentrate on comprehending the cultivation techniques.

Just like how Divine Firmament's Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art was split into Body Tempering cultivation technique, Qi Refinement cultivation technique, and the forbidden chapter, the Chaotic Tinder Sutra was also split into different chapters.

"The Chaotic Tinder Body Tempering Art uses chaotic aura to strengthen one's physical body and create the Connate Chaotic Golden Body, which sounds impressive!

"The Chaotic Tinder Forging Art uses chaotic aura to form one's life weapon that will grow together. In the future, it will become a Dao weapon that can counter all other arts?

"The Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art can devour all supreme treasures and extraordinary items in the world. It can even convert a prodigy's constitution into one's foundation, and thus one can be reborn.

"Once one trains this cultivation technique to the extreme, they will be able to achieve Postnatal Chaotic Body and cultivate the Chaotic Tinder Sutra?"

The Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art attracted Shen Tian's attention.

Evidently, this cultivation technique was not of the same series as the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, or it could be said that the path one would take would be completely different.

If the path the Chaotic Tinder Sutra took was the supreme Dao of uprightness and dignity, wherein chaotic aura was used to create a supreme foundation and thus walk the path of invincibility, then the Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art was more like a stubborn and rugged trail that used other cultivators as nourishment to create a defective Chaotic Body.

The Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art seemed to have been created for a certain existence with a constitution that prevented it from learning the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

Once one achieved a defective Chaotic Body, they would be able to refine and control chaotic aura. Then they would start cultivating the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

From a certain point of view, this mystic art could be viewed as the foundation for the Chaotic Tinder Sutra's actual chapters.

To Shen Tian, this mystic art was not very useful. Even if he did not cultivate it, he could also refine chaotic aura.

However, it did not mean that the Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art was useless. On the contrary, this cultivation technique was beyond Shen Tian's imagination!

Although the Chaotic Tinder Sutra seemed almighty, just how many people could establish one's foundation using chaotic aura in the whole five regions or even the Celestial World?

It was only possible if one had the kind of supreme constitution that only existed in legends, the Connate Chaotic Body.

However, the Connate Chaotic Body rarely appeared and only existed in legends.

If one did not have such a constitution, then no matter how powerful the Chaotic Tinder Sutra was, it would be a useless sutra.

However, this Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art was incredible as it found another way around it, absorbing other cultivators to forcibly form the Postnatal Chaotic Body.

It was not exaggerating to say that this mystic art "seized the makings of heaven".

Suppose one could really master this mystic art. In that case, they could greatly strengthen their physique even if they could not train it to the extreme and obtain the Postnatal Chaotic Body, becoming invincible compared to others of the same cultivation level.

If Shen Tian guessed correctly, then the prodigies that had been deciphering the forbidden tablet in the past had most likely been deciphering this mystic art.

It was a pity that even this Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art was not something that normal prodigies had the qualifications to learn.

Those that the tablet had absorbed had most likely been devoured by this cultivation technique instead. This mystic art was simply too dangerous!

If not, the Kun race's ancestors would have left behind the mystic technique.

Huff!

Shen Tian sighed.

The difficulty of the heritage that he obtained this time was over the roof.

It's a good thing that I'm outstanding enough, or else I wouldn't be able to cultivate it even if I obtained the heritage.

Shen Tian ignored Ye Qingcang, who was at the side screaming at him for "service charge", and entered a mediation state.

Well, it was mainly to concentrate on comprehending the supreme cultivation techniques. It was definitely not because he wanted to escape from answering Ye Qingcang!

At the same time, in the Kun race's forbidden valley...

Shen Tian A and Shen Tian B also slowly opened their eyes. Their eyes were glistening with wisdom.

"This technique is very miraculous. It can actually refine chaotic aura."

"Our main body cannot have any mishaps, so how about we try it out?"

Shen Tian B's body gradually disappeared, forming a ball of blood and a ball of silvery-white chaotic aura that surged toward Shen Tian A's body.

That's right, silvery-white.

The chaotic aura, which originally enveloped Chaotic Star Island, was pale gray.

However, after entering Shen Tian B's body, that chaotic aura had started to crazily absorb the five-elemental extraordinary items' energy and slowly turned silvery-white.

It was as if this ball of chaotic aura had been activated.

"According to the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, the hardest first step of cultivating it is to devour and refine chaotic aura, and then stabilize it within one's body."

Shen Tian A's eyes shone brightly. His Connate Constitution had increased his aptitude for enlightenment to the maximum.

"The Chaotic Tinder Body Tempering Art needs to devour a large amount of chaotic aura. The risk of using chaotic aura for body tempering is simply too high. It's no use strengthening this body, so why not I start cultivating the Chaotic Tinder Forging Art first?

"Yeap. Let's just give it a try. It'll at most only result in death!"

A handsome figure was sitting cross-legged in the silent valley.

The five elements' aura was slowly merging with the silvery-white chaotic aura within him. It was just like a dough that was changing shape.

This Chaotic Tinder Forging Art stressed using chaotic aura to forge a life weapon. It would grow stronger with the cultivator and be able to counter all arts.

Shen Tian seriously doubted that the person who had created this mystic technique had transmigrated from Jingdong. Such a setting was simply a duplicate!

Of course, this was not important.

More importantly, Shen Tian now had a phobia of choice, just like the young Ye Fan[1]

The core of one's life weapon was extremely important to the master.

If one was unsatisfied with it, they could break it and reforge it. However, the energy one needed to consume and the time needed to spend would be quite troublesome.

Thus, it was best to forge a satisfying one from the start.

What should I forge? An armor? A helmet? A staff?

Or a death knell? No, no, it's too inauspicious and might easily cause my death.

A cauldron like Ye Fan's? That's not a good choice. Using the cauldron to smash people feels weird. I would rather smash using a hammer!

How about just forge a sword? At least it'll look cool when I carry it or use it. Whether or not it's powerful is just temporary, while whether it looks beautiful or not is a lifetime thing.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian's most powerful killing technique was the Flying Sword Technique, and its sword intent seemed to resonate with the chaotic aura.

If a sword of chaos was created, this sword technique's power would most likely increase, right?

At the same time, Shen Tian also had some ideas of the sword's appearance.

Yeap, I've decided. I'll forge a sword!

Shen Tian made up his mind and started to form his life weapon.

He rapidly formed hand seals according to the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

The countless hand seals merged within the five-elemental chaotic aura ball, and the silvery-white chaotic aura started to change its appearance toward a rod.

That's right, Shen Tian had tried his best to forge it for 20 hours, and in the end, he made a rod...

Since he had only started to learn the Chaotic Tinder Forging Art, he still did not know much about this supreme mystic art. His cultivation level was also a little too weak.

Therefore, even though he knew how to forge the chaotic life weapon, it was still strenuous while forging. He felt as if he could not control the chaotic aura properly.

Well, to put in simple words, "My eyes say that I have learned it already, but my hands say I have not."

However, it was alright for the weapon to look ugly now as it would slowly transform into his ideal appearance.

As for this "rod" now, he would temporarily call it a sword fetus!

Originally, he wanted to forge it to look like the Executing Heaven Sword, but it seemed to be too difficult currently.

It was strange to mention, it might be coincidence or his illusion, but Shen Tian had seen that Great Empress display her sword technique before.

He felt that the sword the Great Empress had been holding looked similar to the Executing Heaven Sword...

He did not know if that Executing Heaven Sword was made according to that sword in the Great Empress' hands. If it was really so, then he wouldn't go wrong if he used that sword as the blueprint.

Hmm... I think I should find a few books about forging when I have the time. At least, I'll have more references in terms of appearance.

His imagination was running wild, but he did not stop circulating the cultivation technique.

The process of forging Shen Tian's life weapon was extremely smooth and short. A three-feet-long silver sword fetus appeared in front of Shen Tian.

Shen Tian's mouth twitched as he looked at the uneven sword that practically had no sense of beauty.

Did I create a rod?

The process of forging was smooth... Hell no!

Shen Tian felt extremely frustrated. This was the first time he had encountered such a high difficulty cultivation technique ever since he had transmigrated.

Frankly speaking, this cultivation technique had even gradually attracted his interest!

Shen Tian decided that he definitely wanted to master this cultivation technique!

He was not going to stop—he would continue cultivating it!

Just as Shen Tian wanted to continue forging the sword fetus to make it look better, his expression suddenly changed.

He felt that the whole valley was shaking vigorously while the surrounding space was rapidly collapsing.

A surging tide of energy swept everything in its path, and the Spirit Qi that had almost turned into mist gushed outside like a tsunami.

At the forbidden valley's entrance, the auras of 10 powerful Heavenly Venerables suddenly exploded. They were the 10 elders presiding over the valley!

They were all currently looking toward the valley's depths in horror.

"The forbidden valley is collapsing! How is this possible!?"

Such drastic changes had not occurred even when the Kun race's ancestors had been deciphering the tablet!

Boom!

A bright green light soared into the sky before the astounded elders' eyes.

It instantly pierced through the bottomless abyss and flew toward the sea surface.

All the restrictions and array formations were instantly penetrated. They were completely useless in front of it, unable to stop it at all.

If the 10 elders did not see wrongly, then that seemed to be a tablet!

F*ck! OMG!

The forbidden tablet had flown away!

Chapter 343: That Would Be A Different Price!

The entire Kun race was stunned by the sight of the forbidden tablet rising up into the air.

The 10 elders hurriedly performed some hand seals to create an all-encompassing barrier to cover that tablet.

Those Kun elders had been cultivating in seclusion in the forbidden valley and were amongst the top Mighty Prowess practitioners in the world.

When those 10 elders joined forces, even a Sage would find it difficult to fend against them.

However, the barrier created by those 10 elders was just like a flimsy piece of paper in front of this tablet. It was pierced within seconds.

A green light shot out, covering the sky for millions of miles, before suddenly disappearing completely from sight.

Meanwhile, the entire forbidden valley had been turned to dust—chaos and disarray everywhere.

Shen Tian was befuddled. He had just nodded off for a while in front of that forbidden tablet, why had it suddenly run off?

Those Kun elders, are they playing a trick on me?

Now that things are in such a mess, are they just pretending to be so ineffective?

Rumble!

As the chaos started to settle down, several massive Kun avatars formed in the sky, exuding Sage-level auras.

It was the Kun race's Grand Elders. They spent most of their days cultivating in seclusion and seldom took part in outside affairs.

But the aftershock of the forbidden tablet moving was just too tremendous. They had all been lured out of their seclusion.

"Why did the forbidden tablet suddenly move? Leader, please give us an explanation!"

"The forbidden tablet was left behind by our founding ancestor. Nothing has ever happened to it for tens of thousands of years. Why did it suddenly disappear today?"

"If you cannot offer a valid explanation, we will not be able to face our ancestors. Leader, please recover the forbidden tablet as soon as possible!"

"Leader, I heard that you allowed the Divine Firmament Saint to try and decipher the forbidden tablet, which caused this to happen. Where is the Saint?"

"That's right. Have the Divine Firmament Saint come out and explain himself!"

Those Kun Sages had a heated discussion amongst themselves. They were all very shaken by the forbidden tablet's disappearance.

The forbidden tablet was just too important to the Kun race. It was as important as a human clan's genealogical records or ancestral halls.

Moreover, the valley's thick spirit qi and special array were now completely disrupted after the forbidden tablet's disappearance.

This was a major loss to the Kun race!

It was impossible for anyone to remain calm in such a situation.

Rumble!

At that moment, the Kun king's figure appeared in the valley. He had a rather grim expression but didn't appear to have any intention of pinning the blame on Shen Tian. He just looked at Shen Tian with concern.

The Kun King heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Shen Tian was not visibly injured. In fact, Shen Tian's aura seemed to have become even more intense.

The Kun King asked, "Saint, did you sustain any injury?"

Shen Tian nodded. "I am shocked but not hurt."

The Kun King said, "That's good. I didn't expect this to happen. If anything happened to you because of this, I would not be able to answer to your sacred ground."

The Kun King's words stunned Shen Tian.

Are demon leaders all so amiable now?

He wasn't fretting over the loss of the tablet left behind by his ancestors but was instead worried about having to answer to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?

But as the saying went, "One can never bear to slap a smiling man". The Kun King was being so amiable to Shen Tian that he was feeling rather embarrassed.

After all, Shen Tian had no idea why the forbidden tablet had suddenly flown off. But he guessed that it must have something to do with him understanding the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

This time, he might really have to bear responsibility.

The Kun King was amiable, but this didn't mean that the other Kun elders would be just as cordial.

Actually, some of the Kun elders were already very unhappy at the fact that Shen Tian had been given the Triple Light Divine Water and three Sage-level artifacts in exchange for the Kun Peng Dao.

In their opinion, the Kun Peng Dao belonged to the Kun race in the first place. It should never have been allowed in the hands of outsiders, and it was only right for it to be returned to them.

They might have been able to grudgingly accept giving away the Triple Light Divine Water and three Sage-level artifacts in exchange for the Kun Peng Dao. But allowing other people to practice it?

That was going too far!

Not to mention that the Kun King had also allowed the Divine Firmament Saint to try and decipher the forbidden tablet.

And look what happened now? The forbidden tablet had disappeared!

"Leader, Divine Firmament Saint, please explain what happened."

"Kun Xu, have you been cooperating so much with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground all these years that you have forgotten about the pride and dignity of the Kun race?"

"The power of our race did not increase significantly since the day you became our leader. Now, the forbidden tablet has also disappeared. I think it is time for us to hold a meeting of the elders."

"If you cannot do right by your role as our leader, please step aside and hand the throne over to someone more capable!"

"Also, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground needs to compensate us for the loss of our tablet!"

The elders' unhappy voices filled the air.

Most of the elders were Heavenly Venerables and still treated Kun Xu with some respect.

However, some were Grand Elders who had undergone tribulation and were much more senior than the Kun King. As a result, they were not as courteous with their words.

Some Grand Elders even raised the possibility of removing the Kun King from his throne and re-electing a new leader.

The Kun King narrowed his eyes as he stared at those figures.

"Everyone knows the status of the forbidden tablet in our race. I shouldn't need to remind anyone of that.

"Our founding ancestor decreed that anyone who is fated to gain the tablet's acknowledgment can take it away. We cannot stop him or her.

"Now that the Divine Firmament Saint has successfully received the tablet's acknowledgment, and it chose to leave, it is all very reasonable.

"We have our pride and dignity as the Kun race. Why are we just pinning all the blame on the Saint?

"As for my position as the leader of this race, who feels that I am unworthy?

"Please step out and make your point!"

With that, Kun Xu erupted with a mighty aura. His Sage-level energy instantly suppressed everyone and everything around him.

A towering Kun avatar appeared behind him as massive waves and howling winds churned the oceans for miles and miles!

Kun Xu's avatar was no longer just a Kun.

As the towering Kun reached the surface of the ocean, the scales suddenly morphed into golden feathers. The head of the Kun also transformed into a dashing golden Peng head.

Rumble!

Giant cyclones rose from the water!

A huge Kun Peng suddenly appeared before the elders. It radiated with a powerful sacred light, its Sage-level aura engulfing the surroundings, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

All the Kun elders kept silent.

They stared at the Kun Peng avatar behind Kun Xu with glittering eyes.

They were the upper management of the Kun race and knew very well how powerful Kun Xu was. He was definitely not that strong before.

Now that he was exuding an aura that was at least twice as powerful as before, it was clearly all thanks to the complete Kun Peng Dao.

All attempts to question and cast blame disappeared.

The forbidden tablet was important, but no one had been able to decipher anything from it since ancient times. Its only use was to create this forbidden valley that could aid in their cultivation.

Anyway, the forbidden valley was not much use to anyone who had already reached the Sage stage. Otherwise, those Grand Elders would be there all year long.

However, the Kun Peng Dao was different. It was useful to all Kun practitioners. It could increase their powers significantly.

But no race would want its most revered legacy to be imparted to just anyone.

For example, only the Sacred Leaders and Saints of the various sacred grounds were allowed to practice the forbidden chapters.

Thus, even though the Kun Peng Dao had been returned to the Kun race, only a small fraction of them would be allowed to learn the entire Dao.

And the process of deciding who was worthy could be rather complicated and subjective.

Who had the right to practice and who didn't? There would be a lot going behind the scenes on making such decisions.

As the Kun race's current leader, the Kun King's opinion would have a significant weight.

Moreover, Kun Xu's powers had increased again after comprehending the Kun Peng Dao's complete version. Those in the Kun race who could oppose him were now few and far between.

Now, one must consider carefully whether to offend Kun Xu over this forbidden tablet issue.

After all, the forbidden tablet belonged to the entire Kun race and not just them.

The atmosphere came to a temporary standstill. The Kun King sent a discreet voice transmission to Shen Tian.

"Saint, don't worry. No one will be able to threaten you when I am around.

"The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is already at North Sea. I have already informed him, and he will be here shortly to fetch you."

He has even notified Master?

Shen Tian's heart warmed. There were good people in this world, after all.

I have only known this Kun King for a few days, but he is so good to me.

Sigh... I do feel rather guilty now!

In the future, if I have the chance to encounter more fortuitous opportunities, I will definitely remember Kun Ming and Kun Yu! After all, the two of them are very high-quality crop— I mean prodigies.

A Sage-level aura appeared in space.

All living creatures in the surrounding area felt a heavy suppression in their hearts.

The atmosphere was very tense. One false step and the entire Kun race could descend into chaos.

In the end, one of the Grand Elders spoke up. His tone was much more cordial. "No matter what, the forbidden tablet is our race's treasure. Leader, you allowed the Divine Firmament Saint to try and decipher it without getting our permission. This is already against the rules."

The Kun King took a deep breath.

"Elders, the Divine Firmament Saint has agreed to sign a Kun God contract with Yu'er. He will become our race's human partner. According to our rules, human partners of our race have the right to try and decipher the forbidden tablet."

The Divine Firmament Saint agreed to become a human partner of the Kun race?

The elders all fell silent at the Kun King's words as discreet communications via divine consciousness filled the space.

They were all weighing the pros and cons of this situation. They were all elite top management practitioners and no fools. The fact that the forbidden tablet had disappeared could not be reversed.

There was no use trying to pin the blame on someone. The crucial thing now was to try their best to salvage the situation.

They had heard rumors about this Divine Firmament Saint. They had heard that he was a rare Son of Providence, only encountered once in 10,000 years. Even the Dragon race was buttering up to him.

It was a good thing and a pretty big deal if he was truly willing to become a human partner with the Kun race.

An authoritative voice rang out.

"Divine Firmament Saint, are you really willing to sign a Kun God Contract with our Eldest Princess, Kun Yu? To become a human partner of our race?"

Shen Tian was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Kun Yu, whose face had turned a little pink.

To be honest, he had never thought about that.

After all, Shen Tian had already signed contracts with the Black Dragon race's Ao Bing and the Peacock race's Kong Meng. He felt a bit guilty signing another contract behind their backs.

But the Kun King has been supporting me despite all that pressure from the elders. It won't be very nice if I turn around now and stab him in the back.

Moreover, now that he had gotten the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, it was only right of him to take care of the Kun race.

After keeping silent for a few moments, Shen Tian nodded.

"I am willing."

He agreed!

He finally agreed!

Kun Yu's face blushed a deep red. Even Kun Xu looked very pleased.

Kun Ming was the only one who looked somewhat discomfited. There was probably no way now that he would ever have the chance to get back at Shen Tian.

The suppressive Sage aura dissipated. The tense atmosphere also gradually faded away.

"Since the Saint has agreed to be a human partner with our race, no rules were broken when he tried to decipher the forbidden tablet."

"The forbidden tablet has always been very mysterious. Countless people have fallen at its hands. It may not be a bad thing now that it has suddenly disappeared. We cannot blame the Divine Firmament Saint."

"Now that we have raised this issue, I have yet to thank the Divine Firmament Saint for recovering the Kun Peng Dao for us. It has been very rude of me."

"The Divine Firmament Saint is extraordinarily handsome, and it's clear from just one look that he is a rare talent. I am sure he will become a Thearch in the future with limitless powers!"

Shen Tian felt rather dazed at all the praises being heaped upon him.

What happened? Why did they suddenly start praising me?

Is it really that easy to change the topic for such a heated discussion?

I just caused your forbidden tablet to disappear. Don't you guys care about that anymore?

The fabrics of space were suddenly ripped apart at that moment. An even more overbearing Sage aura than before covered the entire area.

Multi-colored lightning spread across the ocean waters, upon which rode a massive flying vessel. The vessel was filled with disciples all wearing the uniform of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

On the third level of the flying vessel was a Divine Firmament elder who exuded the powerful aura of a Heavenly Venerable.

"Which foolish Kun pup dared to go against our Tian'er? Come over here and ask permission from the staff in my hand!"

EAzure Lotus stood proudly on the third level of the flying vessel. He was dressed in purple and holding a golden staff.

With a slight shake, he morphed into a towering giant with bulging muscles. The golden staff in his hands also became hundreds of feet long.

He was just a normal Heavenly Venerable, but his aura made many of the Kun Sages shudder.

After all, he was once an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable.

Even though his powers had been nullified before, he still possessed fearsome energy. Azure Lotus had now cultivated his Godfiend body to Heavenly Venerable levels, and his power was almost back to his previous level.

More importantly, since that setback years ago, this fellow no longer cared about status and reputation. He was as brash and impulsive as they came.

Even a Sage would not really dare to offend a Heavenly Venerable like that.

Apart from Azure Lotus, there were two other people on the third level of the flying vessel.

One of them was Golden Lotus, who had already overcome her tribulation and stabilized her cultivation level. Her silver robe dazzled, and she looked extremely alluring.

She said in a charming manner, "Tian'er, don't be afraid. We are here. No one will be able to make things difficult for you."

The third person was covered in lightning and heavenly aura, and he just stood there quietly, gazing down at the Kun elders.

He was unleashing his aura with wild abandon. Golden mixed element lightning with a divine light core spread for miles and miles.

Even those Grand Elders couldn't help being shocked by the lightning's presence.

This fellow is even more powerful than before!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader gazed at the Kun King, his lightning and heavenly aura rippling.

"Brother Xu, how are you?"

Upon sensing the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's aura, the Kun King was very glad that he hadn't taken his foolish son's advice to harm Shen Tian.

Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble now.

He smiled. "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for asking. You have traveled such a long distance, and I failed to give you a proper welcome. I hope you won't be offended. May I know the reason for your presence today..."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. "I heard that Brother Xu invited Tian'er here as his guest. I was worried about Tian'er being ignorant about the Kun race's rules and ending up offending the Kun elders. So I specially came down to fetch him back.

"If Tian'er did anything wrong during this time, I hope you will bring the matter to me for resolution."

With that, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader gazed into the distance. His Sage aura became even more intense. "I wonder if anyone has anything to say?"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice was completely emotionless, but the Grand Elders' hearts shivered in fear. They were all secretly relieved.

They were relieved that they had chosen to listen to their leader, to let Shen Tian become a human partner of the Kun race, thus resolving the previous situation.

Otherwise, they would not be able to avoid a major conflict between the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Kun race now.

Not many Kun Sages would be willing to face off with a powerful opponent like the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. One might inadvertently end up being a charred fish.

Silence descended. None from the Kun race dared to speak up.

Finally, the Kun King smiled. "Brother Zhang, you misunderstand. The Saint has been very polite and courteous with us. He did not cause any trouble.

"On the contrary, the Saint has gotten along very well with my daughter, Kun Yu, and they have signed a Kun God Contract. I wonder if Brother Zhang is willing to let your disciple become a human partner with my race?"

A human partner with the Kun race?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled as he gazed mildly at the Kun King.

A secret transmission passed between the divine consciousness of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the Kun King. A message which only the Kun King could hear rang out.

"I told you to just play the nice guy with those wilful Kun elders and hold down the fort before I turned up to save the day.

"In this way, we could both make a good impression on the Son of Providence.

"So why have you already settled everything before I arrived? How can I make a good impression on Tian'er like that? Brother Kun, are you trying to pick a fight with me?"

With that, the Sacred Leader's aura vibrated intensely.

The corners of the Kun King's mouth twitched. He seemed to be recalling some unsavory past memory.

He cleared his throat.

"Brother Zhang, you misunderstand. I had no choice as those Kun elders were just too agitated!

"But don't worry, I already told the Saint once and again that you were leading the entire brigade over here to save him the moment you heard that something happened.

"You have made an extremely good impression. Even I feel moved by your gesture!"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader replied calmly, "And what's up with this human partner thing? Why didn't you discuss this with me first?"

The Kun King looked somewhat guilty.

Are you kidding me? How to raise this subject with you?

Who doesn't know that you have been trying to push your own daughter into Shen Tian's arms?

I have always given way to you out of respect. But do you think I will just step aside when it comes to my daughter's lifelong happiness?

The Divine Firmament Saint and Yu'er have already agreed to form the contract. Make a big fuss if you are unhappy about it.

It will just be short-term suffering for me!

That is nothing compared to Yu'er's future happiness!

The Kun King's eyes hardened.

"Ahem, I forgot. Brother Zhang, I am really sorry!"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader continued staring impassively at the Kun King. After a long time, he finally spoke up.

"This would be another price!"

Chapter 344: You Are Using A Water Tank To Brew The Enlightenment Tea?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Kun King stood facing each other in mid-air.

Their shapeless auras crossed each other, and black cracks appeared on the fabrics of space.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's disciples and the Kun race's descendants all stared at the two Sages with glittering eyes.

They knew that these two must be having a secret exchange via their divine consciousness.

It was a battle of power and will!

Everyone was several thousand feet away from the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the Kun King. No one dared to step any closer. Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that no one was able to get any closer. The oppressive aura was too strong.

Even those Grand Elders could not endure that aura.

They stared at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader in shock and disbelief.

How did this fellow become so powerful now?

It should be pointed out that even before comprehending the complete Kun Peng Dao, the Kun King was already the most powerful practitioner of the entire Kun race.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to maintain his throne as the leader of a demon race.

Apart from those extremely old Kun Sages, no one within the Kun race could even come close to the Kun King's prowess.

And after learning the complete Kun Peng dao, the Kun King's powers had ascended to the next level and nearly doubled.

Even so, he was still unable to suppress the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

Wasn't it said that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the Kun King had once fought for seven days and seven nights without any clear victor?

Why was it now that the Kun King's power had nearly doubled, he was still unable to suppress the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader? It was unbelievable!

"It's Decalamity! The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground recovered the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra's forbidden chapter. He started practicing it long before our leader comprehended the Kun Peng Dao."

"No wonder then. Ten thousand years ago, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was one of Eastern Wilderness' most powerful sacred grounds. They only fell down the rankings after losing their forbidden chapter."

"Although the Kun Peng arts are peerless, the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra's forbidden chapter is nearly as powerful. It can hold itself against the Kun Peng arts."

"No big deal. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is able to stand against our leader only because he obtained the Decalamity chapter earlier. Our leader just needs to practice the Kun Peng arts over a longer period of time, and he will definitely be able to suppress the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader."

"But you guys have forgotten that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader also has the right to practice the Kun Peng arts. And the Divine Firmament Saint is also with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground."

"Damn, that's right. We are doomed!"

The Kun elders' heated discussion came to an abrupt stop.

They had been careless.

What's the point in comparing those two?

So what if the Kun King can beat the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader?

They have the Divine Firmament Saint, a Son of Providence, as their trump card!

Given that fellow's providence and talent, he would probably turn into another Huang Shi in 800-1,000 years' time.

What's the point of comparing?

Wouldn't it be better to butter up to Shen Tian instead?

As the hearts of the crowd wavered, the clashing auras of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the Kun King finally came to a gradual stop.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning aura rippled as he said in a mild voice, "Since Tian'er has already agreed to become a human partner of the Kun race, I have no objection."

A pained look flashed past the Kun King's face, but he forced a smile. "In that case, I hope that your sacred ground and my race can form an alliance and maintain good relations forever."

Although he had paid quite a hefty price this time, the Kun King felt that it was still worth it.

Prodigies across the five regions were sprouting out like weeds, and those formerly-rare mystic realms and treasures were pouring forth.

This was not a good sign. From ancient times' past experiences, such a golden period's arrival meant that some major catastrophe was approaching. They would need supporters to help them tide over any impending doom.

In this kind of era, it was better to get on the good side of that indomitable youth practitioner. It was necessary for the continuation of their race.

Kun Xu looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader meaningfully, relief flashing across his eyes.

Luckily I have always been on good terms with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. Otherwise, things might have gotten tricky today!

The two big bosses had already discussed and agreed on the final price.

The elders, disciples, and descendants from both sides believed that their side did not lose out in the transaction. As a result, they all stood there with their chests puffed out, looking very proud and smug.

That was especially so for the disciples on the first level of the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel. They were all wearing the Favored Ones' medal.

Some of them were also proudly displaying a banner with the words 'Top among the Immortals and pride on earth', holding it up high in case Shen Tian missed it.

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched at that. He held his aching head.

Song, Liu, and the rest must be behind this.

They are really... This is North Sea!

Can they be more low-profile?

Behaving so arrogantly in other people's territory... Aren't they worried about being beaten to death?

But then again... Those words on the banner do look really cool.

Hehehehehehe!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader flicked his sleeves, and a golden ladder unfolded from under his feet straight toward Shen Tian.

Shen Tian traveled along that golden ladder right up to the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel. His white robes fluttered in the wind, looking very regal and dashing.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Kun King's earlier face-off had been the crowd's key focus.

However, Shen Tian was now the focal point of everyone's attention.

He stood there as if he was the center of the world.

There was actually such a handsome and talented man in this world. Unbelievable!

Zhang Yunxi was dressed in her White Tiger Clear Light Armor and stood proudly before the other Divine Firmament disciples. She stared at Shen Tian with glittering eyes.

Junior Brother, it's been a while!

Shen Tian returned to the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel and greeted the Sacred Leader first. "Greetings, Master."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded impassively, with no signs of any joy or sadness on his face. But his lightning and heavenly aura rippled more significantly. "Go and catch up with your friends!"

A good leader had to have their own group of loyal followers.

Since he had chosen to let Shen Tian become his successor, Zhang Longyuan would guide him in handling his relations with the other disciples.

But Shen Tian had always done very well in this aspect. He had his own special charm and managed to gain all the other disciples' love and respect.

Otherwise, the Favored Ones would not have remained so fervent about Shen Tian despite the fact that he had been gone for half a year.

Across all the disciples in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, about 80% had already joined the Favored Ones.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader even suspected those disciples might riot if Shen Tian didn't become the next Sacred Leader. After all, Shen Tian was just too attractive. He could already more or less stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the current Sacred Leader.

Of course, this was related to the Yin Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman, Wind Turbine, Hydroelectric Generator, and other such benefits. The pros of being part of the Favored Ones were just too attractive.

And Shen Tian, who provided all those benefits, had naturally become the "Great Saint" in the hearts of all those disciples.

In the end, as powerful as a leader was, he was the only one who was strong.

Giving benefits to the subordinates was the key!

After the under-the-table transaction with the Kun King, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader steered the flying vessel away from the Abyss of Despair.

There were just too many elders and disciples on the vessel, so it would be quite rude to linger any longer in the Kun race's territory.

To a more bad-tempered power, the presence of that vessel could be construed as a challenge and declaration of war.

If not for the fact that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader wanted to put up a good show in front of Shen Tian, to show how much he cared, he would never have landed on the Kun race's territory in such a flashy manner.

The flying vessel rose into the air, and the many elders on the second level gazed at Shen Tian with benevolent expressions. Their faces were full of relief and high regard.

As for the disciples on the first level, they were extremely excited and just itching to swarm around Shen Tian.

"Senior Brother Saint, I missed you so much!"

"Senior Brother Saint, I also missed you!"

"Senior Brother Saint, me too!"

Liu, Zhen, and Xiong squeezed their way out of the crowd and hollered, "Favored Ones, let us hear you!"

"Top among the immortals and pride on earth! We will reach Immortal Ascension if we follow him every day!"

The Divine Firmament disciples' swords soared in the sky, sparkling with sword aura.

Thousands of swords formed the word "Tian", which looked rather magnificent.

At the same time, streams of talismans shot toward the sky, which exploded in multi-colored divine light.

The entire flying vessel dazzled.

Shen Tian said in exasperation, "My good brothers, Song and Liu, can you please stop doing this kind of flamboyant stuff every time we are out?"

Shen Tian then turned toward the other disciples. "Brothers, please stop shouting. Save your voices.

"The journey here must have been tough. I am sure everyone is tired.

"Let me brew some tea for everyone to soothe your thirst."

With that, Shen Tian started taking all sorts of items out of his storage ring. A side table, teacups, teapot...

Liu Taiyi, Zhen Zhijia, and Xiong Meng exchanged looks. They suddenly looked very despondent.

Shopkeeper Song stroked his beard and smiled.

"Young people are indeed foolish. They don't understand the meaning behind our Saint's words.

"Didn't you hear what our Saint said? He said, 'Don't do this kind of flamboyant stuff every time we are out'. Why did he emphasize the words 'this kind'?"

Shopkeeper Song no longer looked like a merchant. He was dressed in a long, flowy robe with a divine sword hanging on his back. He now possessed a modicum of divine bearing.

Song Fugui stroked his beard and smiled. "You guys keep using the same antics when buttering up someone. It's always that 'Top among the Immortals and pride on earth' banner, flying swords and fireworks. Can't you see that our Saint is tired of all that?

"What's the most important thing when buttering up someone? Innovation! Our Saint will only be satisfied if you come up with new tricks and new expressions.

"He won't be moved by the same old stuff every time."

With that, Song Fugui strolled over to Shen Tian, who was arranging the tea implements.

"Senior Brother just experienced a tough trial but wants to brew tea for us. I am really very touched." The rims of Shopkeeper Song's eyes reddened. "I am willing to get my hands dirty and help you with the tea brewing."

Oh? Help me with the tea brewing?

Junior Brother Song's EQ has become higher after joining the sacred ground.

Shen Tian smiled. "I don't need help. However, there are many brothers on this flying vessel, so I will need your help to distribute the tea when it's done."

With that, Shen Tian executed a hand seal.

The palm-sized teapot enlarged by several hundred times until it was as big as a water tank.

Gallons of spirit spring water were generously poured into that huge teapot.

Although this was not an especially expensive type of spirit spring water, it would still be quite a hefty sum to use so much all at once.

In fact, this tank of spirit spring water was worth more than a superior-grade Spirit artifact. Much more!

The elders on the second level grumbled quietly as they watched the gushing spirit spring water.

Youngsters nowadays are so rich!

Even this grade of spirit spring water was quite dear to them. If not for the fact that they wanted to maintain their images, they really wanted to jump down and take a couple of drinks!

Never mind, never mind. We are the elders, after all. Why jostle with those kids over just a cup of tea!

The elders shook their heads with sad smiles. Their reputation was more important.

Next, Shen Tian took out the tea leaves.

They were purple and radiated with a faint glow and resonance.

Although these leaves didn't resonate that well, they still attracted nearly everyone's attention the moment Shen Tian brought them out.

On the second level of the flying vessel, a few elders were so startled that they nearly fell over.

Those elders couldn't be blamed for their big reaction. It was Shen Tian who was just too heartless.

Those are the legendary Enlightenment tea leaves!

And you are brewing them in a water tank!?

Chapter 345: Startling Changes At Jixia

At Middle Ground, Jixia Academy...

An elder dressed in ceremonial robes was sitting cross-legged in the center of a large Eight Trigrams altar.

He sat there unmoving in the middle of a huge array as if he was one with the universe. It was clear he was an advanced Great Sage cultivator.

He was surrounded by tens of thousands of energy rays, all penetrating into the void as if trying to probe into some indescribable thing.

Beside the elder was a row of gentlemen dressed in long traditional robes. They all gazed at the elder with the utmost respect.

This was because this elder's status in Jixia Academy was second to none.

He was Jixia Academy's founder, Fu Zi.

Fu Zi was born 8,000 years ago and from the same generation as Huang Shi. He was also one of the most powerful prodigies of his era.

It could be said that if not for that freak-of-nature Huang Shi, Fu Zi would have been the top cultivator of his generation!

It was even rumored that Fu Zi had used to hold a grudge against Huang Shi because of that.

Thereafter, Fu Zi and Huang Shi had joined forces to eliminate the Evil Spirits and successfully established the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, reigning over the five regions.

At the same time, Jixia Academy had been established.

From then on, Huang Shi had been ruling over the eight wildernesses while Fu Zi held down the fort at Jixia Academy, teaching the prodigies from across the five regions.

Yes, teaching prodigies from across the five regions.

Ever since Jixia Academy had been established, its mission statement was to teach all without discrimination.

Any prodigy with extraordinary talent, regardless of which sect they were from or even if they were not from any sect, could join Jixia Academy.

This included Bodhisattvas from the faraway West Desert Land of Buddha, Saints from the major sacred grounds of Eastern Wilderness on student-exchange programs, and even demon royalty.

And Jixia Academy did fulfill its mission statement to teach all without discrimination. They did not discriminate against anyone because of their different backgrounds.

The highest number of prodigies could be found in this one place. It was also the best environment for cultivation and practicing techniques.

On top of that, Fu Zi poured a lot of effort into teaching his students. As a result, countless top prodigies had emerged from Jixia Academy.

Over the past 8,000 years, about half of those Sacred Leaders and Kings in the five regions had once studied at Jixia Academy or consulted Fu Zi on some cultivation issue.

Amongst them were the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, in his youth, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Leader, Tianxiu, the Kun King, Kun Xu, and so on.

Those top prodigies would return to their own sects or races after completing their studies and end up becoming the Sacred Leaders, Kings, or Grand Elders.

It could be said that just by having those exemplary cultivators as its alumni, Jixia Academy had become the five regions' most powerful authority.

In Middle Ground, you could disrespect any sacred ground, but you could never disrespect Jixia Academy.

You could disrespect any Sacred Leader, but you could never disrespect Fu Zi.

Fu Zi was definitely an elder who deserved respect.

This well-respected elder had been sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Eight Trigrams for several months.

A few months ago, a corpse had been sent to Jixia Academy. It had been cut in half.

This corpse came from the Middle Ground Buddhist Sect, and it was the most powerful Sage monk.

However, he was now chopped in half. And it was the only wound on the entire body. It was clear that the battle had been done and over with in a flash.

A one-kill move. He had died a very smooth death.

After an investigation, it was ruled that this was committed by the Lifeless King, one of the Evil Spirit Sect's four great Kings.

There had been no news of the Lifeless King in the five regions for the past thousand years, so why had he suddenly killed this Sage monk in such an arrogant manner?

Did this mean the Evil Spirit Sect was being revived?

They then linked this incident to the significant increase in the number of prodigies over the past thousand years, especially over the past 100 years. All sorts of rare and unprecedented prodigies had sprouted up like weeds after the rain in the various sacred grounds.

This was definitely a sign that chaotic times were imminent. As one of the strongest cultivators in the five regions, Fu Zi was naturally sensitive to this fact.

After some careful consideration, he decided to expend a huge amount of energy to set up this massive array in the Jixia Academy.

The massive array formation was the forbidden array of the Dark Sky Sutra. It was touted as the most powerful divination array in all of the five regions.

Fu Zi could take a peek into the future with this array. He would have the ability to foresee what was to come.

Of course, this divination array was an absolute forbidden technique. No one was allowed to use it.

All those who tried to take a peek into the future would have to pay a heavy price—even a Thearch.

Unless absolutely necessary, even Fu Zi himself would not have taken such a big risk.

"Chaos. Absolute mayhem."

Fu Zi, who had been sitting completely immobile for months, suddenly opened his eyes.

Everyone immediately turned and looked at Fu Zi. Their eyes met.

Shudder!

Everyone felt chills run down their spines. The lingering terror in Fu Zi's eyes was just too scary.

It was like this wise, steady, kindly elder had seen the most horrific sight in the universe. Anyone who saw that look in his eyes shivered in fear.

Fu Zi slowly stood up. His array formation cracked inch by inch as if it had come in contact with something forbidden and was suffering the after-effects.

"Huang Shi, you are the only one who can find out what that glow was."

Fu Zi's voice was dry and raspy as he coughed out those words. The terror in his eyes faded into a neutral look.

His hair turned completely snow-white before disintegrating into ashes.

His body shriveled up, and he started to transform into a dried-up tree!

The transformation happened so quickly that it was completed in just a few breaths' time.

The great Fu Zi, one of the most powerful beings across the five regions and the guardian of mankind whom even the Immortal Phoenix Queen didn't dare to underestimate...

He turned into a dried-up tree just like that!

For a moment there, all the students were completely dumbstruck.

They were all steadfast, level-headed people, but what just happened was completely beyond anything they could have ever imagined.

Fu Zi, gone just like that!?

Rumble!

Suddenly, the space over Jixia Academy froze.

All the students could feel themselves being shut out, unable to see Fu Zi's body anymore.

Another figure suddenly appeared on that ancient altar—a figure dressed in Thearch robes and wielding a Thearch sword.

There was no avatar or even the slightest hint of aura radiating from him. Even so, he gave off a feeling that he was completely indomitable.

The Thearch's voice was mild as he gazed afar. "Chaos is coming to the five regions."

Slowly placing one hand on that dried-up tree, the Thearch erupted in a boundless divine light, making the entire Jixia Academy look like it was a deity's palace.

In that instant, a fresh bud sprouted out of that dried-up tree and rapidly started to grow.

A white plum blossom bloomed on that new sprout before falling into the Thearch's hand.

"I pledge that I will find that glow." The Thearch muttered to himself as his eyes turned exceedingly sharp, "With me around, the five regions will never fall into chaos!"

Chapter 346: Yunxi's Anger, Concubine Lan's Happiness

Meanwhile, at North Sea...

Water-resistant array formations covered the huge Divine Firmament Flying Vessel to travel fast in the sea.

On the flying vessel's deck, spirit spring water was boiling in the teapot, which was as large as a water vat. Bubbles kept surging, and the steam emitted from the teapot made the surrounding disciples gulp down their saliva.

It could be said that just the spirit spring water alone contained an abundance of Spirit Qi, quite a temptation for normal cultivators.

Not to mention Shen Tian was holding an Enlightenment tea leaf in his hand. It was a treasure that could not be bought even with money!

On the flying vessel's second level, the elders' expressions instantly changed.

Originally, their dignity restrained them, and they were pretending to be cold as just the spirit spring water alone was unable to move them.

However, at this instant, they were full of regrets.

That was the Enlightenment tea leaf, a supreme treasure that even a Heavenly Venerable or Sage would greatly benefit from if they drank a cup.

You're not only using the water tank to brew the tea, but you even want to give those Golden Core or even Foundation Establishment brats to drink? How much could they be enlightened even after drinking it?

The enlightenment tea was most effective for increasing a cultivator's aptitude for enlightenment. Meanwhile, the requirements for enlightenment of laws would only get higher once one reached Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, and the stages above.

If those Enlightenment tea leaves were given to the elders, they would definitely improve greatly and break through to a higher level.

As for those disciples, they could completely use other more ordinary pills to assist them in their cultivation. The effects would be the same.

It was too much of a waste for them to drink the enlightenment tea!

Had their disciples been so wasteful, those elders would definitely smack the back of their disciples' heads and teach them a lesson.

However, the one doing so was the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian. Thus, those elders did not dare to act rashly. His master, the Sacred Leader, was still present!

Also, it seemed as if the Sacred Leader had no intention of stopping Shen Tian. The lightning and heavenly aura around him was gently fluctuating, but his emotions could not be perceived.

The Sacred Leader's attitude was unknown, so the elders were quite conflicted.

They would regret deeply if they just let Shen Tian distribute the tea to the disciples. However, if they were to run downstairs and snatch those disciples' tea, they could not leave their dignity behind.

It was not like every Heavenly Venerable was the same as Azure Lotus.

Currently, all the Divine Firmament elders were hoping for a person to make the first move. As long as someone ran downstairs to get the enlightenment tea, they would follow behind that person.

As such, they would not lose their dignity and would obtain the enlightenment tea!

A pity that all the elders on the second level were looking at each other in embarrassment. No one wanted to be the first!

Their disciples were all downstairs, so if they saw their masters running downstairs to snatch the tea, it would be too much of a humiliation.

It would simply be their social death!

Shen Tian finally poured five purple Enlightenment tea leaves surrounded by nomological light into the teapot, and they were immersed within the boiling spirit spring water.

The Enlightenment tea leaves quickly released an extremely rich fragrance after being soaked in the water—even the illusions of a Pixiu[1, a Taowu[2, a Soaring Snake, lightning, etc., appeared on top of the teapot.

Radiant illusions filled up more than half of the flying vessel while the tempting tea fragrance wafted out.

The elders on the flying vessel's second level were already salivating.

Such a large tank of enlightenment tea, keep a cup for me!

Or how about I just throw away my dignity today?

At that moment, an unexpected person arrived.

An old Taoist priest suddenly jumped down from the flying vessel's third level. He wore a bright and amiable smile as he looked straight at that teapot.

"Martial Nephew, why do I feel like your enlightenment tea is sour?"

Shen Tian was stunned.

Sour!? Are you joking with me? Even if these tea leaves have yet to completely mature, they're definitely supreme treasures, okay?

Shen Tian was caught between laughter and tears.

"You must be joking, Martial Uncle Azure Lotus. How could this enlightenment tea be sour?"

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shook his head firmly.

"It's definitely sour. I can smell it. Is it overdue?

"If there's a problem with the enlightenment tea, we might suffer from Qi Deviation after drinking it. We cannot take the risk."

Just as he spoke, Azure Lotus walked to that huge teapot and took an extra-big bowl, the size of one's head, out of his storage ring.

"Let me have a taste first. If it's really overdue, then let me suffer from Qi Deviation! All of you are the sacred ground's future hope, so you cannot meet with any mishaps."

After saying that, Azure Lotus directly scooped one bowl and drank it.

Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp!

"There's no problem with the taste. However, the power of laws seems to be incomplete, and it feels kind of weird. I have to try another bowl to truly sense it."

Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp!

Shen Tian, "..."

The disciples, "..."

The various elders, "..."

Damn, damn, damn!

Too shameless. He's just too shameless!

The numerous elders on the second level revealed a smile of disdain.

Azure Lotus is just too thick-skinned!

You actually thought of such a crude excuse to snatch the disciples' tea... You're nothing like what an elder should be!

The elders snorted before jumping down to the deck one after the other, stopping Azure Lotus from doing such shameful acts.

"Senior Brother Azure Lotus, it's not like you know how to make pills. How could you taste whether this enlightenment tea is good or bad? You're simply wasting such precious enlightenment tea. Let me take such a risk!"

"Are you worthy? Besides Martial Niece White Lotus, I'm the best at concocting pills, so I can taste this enlightenment tea's quality with just a sip."

"Martial Uncle, you're already getting old, and your health is deteriorating. What if something really happens to you after drinking it? Let me do it!"

Upon seeing the elders fight over the tea, the numerous Divine Firmament disciples on the deck looked at each other awkwardly.

Cough, cough...

Did Master really come downstairs to test whether there's anything wrong with the tea?

We don't know, and we don't dare to ask either!

However, the only thing that could be confirmed was that Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus could be more confident in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground in the future. That was because everyone was currently acting like Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus!

"Don't crowd together! Remember your manners!"

At that moment, the Sacred Leader's cold voice reverberated throughout the flying vessel.

"There's nothing wrong with the enlightenment tea, so you don't need to make such a fuss."

Azure Lotus was still drinking the enlightenment tea as he replied, "Junior Brother, how do you know that there's no problem with the enlightenment tea? We must be responsible for our disciples' safety!"

The lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader vibrated vigorously, and the golden lightning directly turned into a huge hand that pulled Azure Lotus back to the third level.

"Tian'er obtained quite the number of Enlightenment tea leaves in the Chaotic Star Island domain. He has already informed me about it."

The Sacred Leader then took out a light silver tea leaf.

"He told me that the best Enlightenment tea leaves would be for the elders. I'm brewing tea on the third floor, so if you don't want to be left out, come up!"

As he spoke, the lightning and heavenly aura around him swayed even more vigorously.

A silver-colored enlightenment tea leaf was in his hand!

The sight of the tea leaf in the Sacred Leader's hand completely astounded the Heavenly Venerable elders.

Damn, damn, damn!

There's really such a grade of enlightenment tea in the five regions?

The Saint actually found such supreme treasure in the Chaotic Star Island domain and even handed it over to the sect!?

Just how awesome is our Saint? With such a Saint in our sect, there's no need to worry about being able to dominate over the five regions in the future!

It's decided! He'll be the next Sacred Leader!

I'll slap whoever dares to oppose the Saint from succeeding the Sacred Leader position!

Swoosh!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Divine light flashed, and the elders flew back upstairs one after the other, returning to their "calm and composed" demeanors.

"I tried a sip of the enlightenment tea just now, and there's indeed nothing wrong with it. Although it is not of much use to us, it's greatly beneficial to all of you in increasing your cultivation levels."

"The Saint is generous enough to give the tea to everyone, so you must seize the opportunity to understand the laws and strive to improve. You must not let down the Saint."

"Today, the Saint has gifted you enlightenment tea, so if you have the chance in the future, you must support the Saint to defend our sacred ground's dignity. You must keep this in mind."

"First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, have you finished speaking? The Sacred Leader is already starting to brew the tea, so if you don't come in now, then Azure Lotus will drink it all!"

"F*ck! Wait for me!"

"Keep a cup for me, or else I'll use my Lightning Fist to strike you to death!"

Swoosh!

All the elders on the deck disappeared.

Fang Chang and Zhang Yunting were rendered speechless. They were ashamed as they gazed at each other.

Were they still the elders that they respected in the past? They felt that those elders were simply old shameless foggies.

As for Zhang Yunxi, she was still staring at Shen Tian. Her eyes, which were cold whenever looking at anyone, were currently as warm as autumn waters.

She slowly walked beside Shen Tian before smiling and saying, "Junior Brother, your cultivation level improved greatly again after your trip to North Sea. Where's that Dragon Lady now? Why is she not with Junior Brother?"

Shen Tian smiled and said as he brewed the Enlightenment tea again, "Sister Bing is in seclusion in Black Dragon Island. She seems to be preparing to recover her cultivation level.

"Senior Sister, if you're interested, I can tell you about it in detail later in the night when I have time. I could also exclusively brew a pot of tea for you to drink too."

Brew tea for me to drink? Exclusively!?

Zhang Yunxi was momentarily stunned, and her face turned red.

So is Junior Brother asking me out late at night to drink tea and confide in each other under the moon?

Zhang Yunxi nodded slowly. "I'm naturally interested in what Junior Brother had experienced this half a year during the tri—"

Before Zhang Yunxi could finish, she was interrupted by an excited voice.

"Senior Brother Saint, Senior Brother Saint, you've returned?"

Duang, duang, duang!

The deck shook vigorously as a huge iron puppet carrying an iron rod carved with mysterious patterns ran toward Shen Tian.

Silver iron balls the size of a human's head were tied on the iron puppet's waist, shining coldly under the light.

Rumble!

The iron puppet's head gradually opened, and a handsome face was revealed. He had golden hair, which shone brightly under sunlight, enhancing further his gorgeous looks.

This was a peculiar handsome man. The only thing strange about him was that he was lacking masculine features. One could say he was slightly charming.

There was a stark contrast between his thin, delicate body and the huge hard, iron battle armor.

It was strange yet harmonious...

This man was staring straight at Shen Tian, his eyes full of excitement and fanaticism.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, I was in seclusion just now, researching how to improve the mecha. I immediately came to find you once I heard that you returned!

"I have many things that I don't know, so I wanted to ask you regarding the mecha! Senior Brother, do you have time? Please teach me!"

Zhang Yunxi, "!"

Damn it! He actually interrupted my conversation with Junior Brother!

She glared at Qin Yundi coldly, but it was a shame that Qin Yundi currently only had eyes for Shen Tian. Thus, he did not notice the killing intent his Senior Sister exuded.

Duang, duang, duang!

The whole deck shook as the huge mecha moved closer to Shen Tian and sat down.

Shen Tian looked at the mecha underneath Qin Yundi, dumbstruck.

Who would have thought that he would actually create a mecha? It was only a joke when I told him to combine the art of explosion and puppetry.

Also, it looks quite cold!

It could completely satisfy all the mecha-figurine fantasies an otaku might have!

Shen Tian gently patted this mecha before smiling and saying, "Qi Yundi, you're indeed a genius!"

Qin Yundi's handsome face revealed an embarrassed smile. "You're flattering me. I'm too dumb as compared to Senior Brother."

Shen Tian smiled and said, "You must be tired from being in seclusion for so long. Come, drink a cup of enlightenment tea and take a rest. We can talk about the mecha later when we brew a pot of tea!"

Zhang Yunxi, "!?"

What is this situation? I came first!

Zhang Yunxi stared straight at Shen Tian.

"Junior Brother, didn't you say that you would chat with me later in the night while brewing tea?"

Eh? Did I?

Shen Tian was taken aback. He scratched his back and smiled. "I was too excited after seeing this mecha, so how about the three of us enjoy tea later? I still have some silver tea leaves."

Those around Shen Tian were all supreme prodigies, so they were worthy of the silver tea leaves that Shen Tian had hidden.

The three of us?

It's no longer just the two of us?

Zhang Yunxi's mouth twitched as she looked at Qin Yundi, who was sitting beside Shen Tian.

This cold iron metal is more important to Junior Brother than spending time with me alone?

I want to destroy this so-called mecha!

Zhang Yunxi's negative emotions: 66,666

After drinking a cup of enlightenment tea, Qin Yundi's entire body radiated purple light, especially his head. It looked as if his golden hair had turned purplish-gold. He also gave off an aura of wisdom.

He seemed to have figured out something and looked at Shen Tian in admiration.

"I understand! I understand now that technique bottleneck!

"Senior Brother, your enlightenment tea is just too amazing. After just a cup of tea, I had an epiphany regarding the question that I could not solve perfectly, even after contemplating it for a few months.

"Miraculous! It's just too awesome! I feel like inspirations are filling up my mind and colliding within me! No, I cannot waste this. I'll enter seclusion again!"

Duang, duang, duang!

That huge mecha stood up again, and Qin Yundi ran toward the seclusion room.

"Senior Brother, I'll come and find you later!"

Shen Tian could not help but laugh upon seeing Qin Yundi's departing figure.

"He actually invented a mecha!"

Every guy had a romantic mecha dream and cultivation dream of riding a flying sword.

Shen Tian wanted to see just how far Qin Yundi could go if he gave the latter enough support.

Yeap, I could give some enlightenment tea to Qin Yundi in the future.

Since it's mentally taxing for a researcher, he needs to drink more tea for nourishment!

The enlightenment tea in the teapot was still brewing. The boiling spirit spring water had also absorbed a sufficient amount of the tea leaves' essence.

Shen Tian ordered Shopkeeper Song, Liu Taiyi, and the others to distribute a cup of enlightenment tea to each disciple on the flying vessel.

In that instant, every Divine Firmament disciple's body radiated purple light. Those that had originally encountered bottlenecks were now rapidly breaking through.

Almost all of the disciples' understanding of their cultivation techniques and battle arts were increasing at full speed. Many of them actually broke through directly.

Zap!

All colors of lightning blinded everyone's eyes!

A radiant Golden Core appeared above a true disciple's head and rotated slowly, his aura soaring!

He had broken through!

He was on the verge of tears as he bowed toward Shen Tian.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Saint, for the tea. I am forever indebted to you!"

He was not alone!

Many lucky fellows simultaneously broke through with that disciple. They were all people who had been stuck at a bottleneck or had mental shackles, thus being unable to break through for a long time.

Their minds were cleared after drinking a cup of enlightenment tea, and they directly broke through to the next stage. There were even some that broke through multiple times.

In the path of cultivation, stopping others from ascending was akin to killing their parents, while helping others to break through was a favor tantamount to giving somebody a new lease of life.

Currently, every Divine Firmament disciple was expressing gratitude sincerely.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Saint, for the tea. We are forever indebted to you!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Saint, for the tea. We are forever indebted to you!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Saint, for the tea. We are forever indebted to you!"

The voices of gratitude were deafening and sincere.

The flying vessel flew through the sky, but the rich enlightenment tea fragrance stayed for a long time.

Even Eunuch Gui could not help but reveal a smile of relief under such a warm atmosphere.

Who could have expected that His Highness was the forgotten 13th Prince of the Country of Fire and was viewed as an ominous star one year ago?

Now just one year has passed, and everything has changed. Not only did His Highness become the Divine Firmament Saint, but even the whole five regions are full of his legendary feats.

Numerous peerlessly talented ladies from various sacred grounds and demon races are also flocking around His Highness. Each of them is an even more gorgeous beauty than the other.

Even if I die now after personally witnessing such a scene, I'll have no regrets!

Shen Tian smiled as he walked toward Eunuch Gui. "Uncle Gui, this is your tea."

Eunuch Gui's eyes turned slightly red as he took the teacup from Shen Tian. He looked toward the distance in the east direction, where the Country of Fire was.

His Highness has finally grown up, and the heavens have finally blessed him. The sweet days have come after the bitter days are gone. His Highness also has so many Junior and Senior Brothers/Sisters that sincerely support him.

Concubine Lan, if you knew about this, then you'd definitely be happy and be able to rest in peace.

Chapter 347: Ocean Divine Hammer, Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage

Shen Tian was never one to be stingy with his buddies from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Once the enlightenment tea was handed to every single Divine Firmament disciple, Shen Tian could clearly see their providence halos improving.

The halos on those disciples were mostly green with red dots of light and contained very ordinary providence.

But there was strength in numbers!

What if there happened to be some pretty good fortuitous opportunity image in the halo of some disciple?

Shen Tian stood at the front of the vessel, his hands crossed behind his back. He couldn't resist smiling at those disciples' cheerful expressions.

At the same time, the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel arrived at a large island, which was engulfed in lightning clouds and had a massive array covering it.

Under the array formation, one could see dense purple lightning spreading across the surface like a spider's web, protecting the entire island.

This was the Divine Firmament Lightning Island and a stronghold of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground in North Sea.

Although the island wasn't particularly dense with spirit qi, it was comparable to most of the blessed-lands and grotto-heavens.

It should be pointed out that the demon race and humans were still on opposing sides. Most human sacred grounds from Eastern Wilderness, West Desert, or Middle Ground would never be able to gain any foothold in North Sea.

It was definitely not a simple matter to have their own stronghold in North Sea's core region.

It was said that this was all due to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's efforts.

The flying vessel landed on the Divine Firmament Lightning Island. The Lightning Array Formation quickly closed up after allowing the vessel to enter.

Roar!

Just as the flying vessel landed, a massive Dragon roared from nearby. It exuded an earth-shattering might.

"Black Dragon King Ao Ye requests to see Divine Firmament, Saint Shen Tian."

The massive Black Dragon morphed into a middle-aged man garbed in black armor. He walked with a domineering swagger, and cracks appeared in the fabrics of space around him as if unable to withstand his powerful aura.

But his expression was anxious and respectful as he gazed at the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel. It was like he was seeking to ingratiate himself to some elders.

The Black Dragon King did not try to mask his Sage aura. This fact did not escape the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's notice.

But the flying vessel glowed, and a beam of divine light shot out.

"Black Dragon King, welcome. You have traveled from afar, and I failed to welcome you properly. Please excuse my oversight."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura magnified and swept aside all of the dragon aura.

He said calmly, "What has happened that the Dragon King personally came all this way to seek Tian'er?"

Ao Ye gazed at those curious Divine Firmament disciples on the flying vessel. He said with a hint of exasperation, "Can you guys give the Saint and me some privacy?"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader glanced at Shen Tian before slowly nodding his head.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. "In that case, Tian'er, go ahead and have a private chat with the Black Dragon King!"

A handsome man dressed in Longyuan Divine Armor leaped off the flying vessel.

His golden wings dazzled like never before as if he was a God of War!

The clothes maketh the man. The Saint looked even more dashing in his Longyuan Divine Armor. It was a bewitching sight.

The Black Dragon King smiled and opened a hole in space. He gestured the way in. "Saint, this way, please!"

The two of them entered the hole in space and disappeared.

Once everything stabilized, Shen Tian found himself on an empty stone platform.

This stone platform was several hundreds feet wide, with a golden pillar erected right in the middle.

A five-clawed golden dragon was carved on that pillar. It was very life-like and spirited as if it was a true dragon.

And a yellow fist-sized pearl was embedded between the brows of that dragon.

Shen Tian felt an intense desire the moment he saw that pearl!

This pearl was definitely an extremely priceless treasure!

After entering this space, the domineering Black Dragon King forced a sheepish smile.

He chuckled. "Little Uncle, I heard that you collected lots of Dragon Source Fruits at Dragon God Island. Is that true?

"The Dragon Source Fruit is an invaluable treasure to the Dragon race. It can enhance one's bloodline and raise the power of the entire Dragon race.

"Little Uncle, please give me those Dragon Source Fruits! I am willing to give you our race's treasures in exchange. State your price!"

Shen Tian was stunned at the sight of the Black Dragon King smiling so ingratiatingly. There was none of his usual overbearing dragon aura.

Is this still the same Black Dragon King? One of the most powerful practitioners in the five regions?

Why does it feel like he had been possessed by his son, Ao Wu?

Hmm... But considering Ao Wu's character...

It can be confirmed that they are truly father and son.

The Dragon Source Fruit was most effective to Dragons. Shen Tian knew this.

But Shen Tian had risked his life to obtain them. He had picked them from that Dragon God Island with much effort.

If that cheapo Black Dragon King wanted them for free, he could give him one or two. But any more than that, Shen Tian would want something in return.

Shen Tian cleared his throat and looked at the Black Dragon King with a neutral expression.

Ao Ye suddenly realized something and said, "Little Uncle, you signed a Dragon God contract with Aunt Ao Bing, so we are like one big Dragon family. I will not take advantage of you.

"The Dragon Source Fruit is not that useful to other races. I will give you one Sage artifact for every Dragon Source Fruit you give me. How's that?"

Shen Tian was taken aback. He widened his eyes. "One Sage artifact for every Dragon Source Fruit?"

I have at least 40 Dragon Source Fruits in my Archeon Sea Ring. Does this mean I can get 40 Sage artifacts?

Damn, damn, damn!

Even a sacred ground would turn green with envy at such riches!

The Black Dragon King sighed.

"Little Uncle, don't fret. I know the price of just one Sage artifact for one fruit is too low.

"The Dragon race does not have that many Sage artifacts. Most of them belong to someone, and it is very difficult to take it from them. How about three Sage artifacts for every two Dragon Source Fruits?"

The Black Dragon King's eyes were full of longing.

He had already refined and absorbed that Dragon Source Fruit that he had gotten from Qi Shaoxuan in exchange for a subpar Sage artifact. His bloodline had gotten a huge boost.

The barrier which had been preventing Ao Ye from attaining that Rank-9 Black Dragon bloodline—he could feel that only one final layer to that barrier remained.

He could transcend into a brand new territory if he could just break through that final layer.

However, he knew that it would be very difficult to penetrate that final layer. It would be the transformation from a Rank-8 to a Rank-9.

The Dragon Source Fruit, which Qi Shaoxuan had given him, was able to push him to the peak Rank-8 bloodline. But even if he had another 10 of those, it would be difficult for him to break through to Rank-9.

To cross that final step, he had to get his hands on more potent Dragon Source Fruits.

Ao Wu's Dragon Source Fruit should have been enough for Ao Ye to do that.

But after careful consideration, he decided to let Ao Wu refine and absorb that fruit himself. After all, it did belong to his own son.

As thick-skinned as he was, he still found it embarrassing to snatch that fruit from his own son.

He was a great Dragon King, and he had a reputation to maintain.

Nonetheless, Ao Ye had learned from Ao Wu that Shen Tian had collected at least 40 Dragon Source Fruits from Dragon God Island. And every single one of them was of very high quality.

Even Ao Wu's Dragon Source Fruit would be considered of inferior quality when compared to those that Shen Tian possessed.

More importantly, Shen Tian had even collected that peerless Dragon Source Fruit.

Compared to that peerless fruit, the rest of the fruits should be nothing to him!

Ao Ye was unable to contain his excitement at that.

Over 40 Dragon Source Fruits. What kind of concept was that?

Even if he had to empty out their entire treasure vault, it would be worth it if he could get those Dragon Source Fruits.

All that money and Sage artifacts would not be spent in vain. In exchange, they would get something that could help the Dragon race become even more powerful!

Shen Tian was amused when he sensed the desire in Ao Ye's heart.

"Three Sage artifacts in exchange for two Dragon Source Fruits? What do I need so many Sage artifacts for?"

Shen Tian already had his Longyuan Divine Armor, the Purple-Green Double Swords, and Void Cloak. As for his Executing Heaven Sword, it was a subpar Immortal artifact.

A normal Sage artifact was not that attractive to Shen Tian.

Ao Ye looked resigned. He had already predicted that normal Sage artifacts would not be very attractive to Shen Tian.

Sage artifacts were rare, but only to cultivators who were below the Sage stage. They were rather common items to Sages who had undergone tribulation.

If one didn't mind putting in the time and effort, any Sage who had undergone at least three tribulations could forge an artifact and then spend 1,000 years cultivating it. A Sage artifact would thus be produced.

A Sage artifact that was refined by your own hand would be more suited to yourself. Its powers would be magnified when used by the original maker.

As a result, those true elite prodigies would forge their own Sage artifacts once they underwent tribulation.

To those prodigies, the value of a Sage artifact was not that high!

Ao Ye looked at Shen Tian and said in all seriousness, "If I am not wrong, you are a Golden Body cultivator!

"Given your limitless potential, your Golden Body should have been able to break through to the Nirvana stage, but that has yet to happen. Could it be you are facing resistance at the legendary Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage?"

A fog seemed to cover Shen Tian such that one was unable to see which refinement stage his Golden Body was at.

But Ao Ye felt that there was no way Shen Tian could be stopped at the Eight Refinement Stage barrier. Shen Tian was an extremely talented and powerful prodigy, after all.

There was only one possible reason why he still remained at the Golden Body realm—the Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage!

Meanwhile, Shen Tian was stunned.

How did you guess? I have not been at this Golden Body Stage for long, and I have only been cultivating for about a year.

But I have indeed been meeting resistance at the Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage.

Shen Tian nodded. "I am indeed not at the Ninth Refinement Stage yet."

Ao Ye patted his thigh and flexed his right hand.

Suddenly, the dragon pearl on the pillar morphed into a streak of light and shot into Ao Ye's hand.

He presented it to Shen Tian. "Little Uncle, this is the Dragon race's supreme treasure, the Emperor Dragon Pearl.

"It possesses the power to greatly enhance a Godfiend Golden Body practitioner. It will be a huge boost to your attempt to break through to the Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage.

"The Dragon Source Fruit is not that useful to you. If you are willing, I can give you this Emperor Dragon Pearl in exchange for 10 Dragon Source Fruits."

A pained look filled Ao Ye's eyes as he spoke.

This Emperor Dragon Pearl originated from Dragon God Island's deep recesses and was one of the most precious treasures belonging to the Dragon race.

This dragon pearl could easily enhance a Godfiend Golden Body practitioner. Over the past tens of thousands of years, it had helped three practitioners transcend their Golden Body Eight Refinement Stage.

As a result, the powers of this pearl had decreased by half. It had been kept on the dragon pillar since then to recuperate.

Unless absolutely necessary, Ao Ye could never bear to hand over this Emperor Dragon Pearl.

Shen Tian stared at the Emperor Dragon Pearl with a smile. "This Emperor Dragon Pearl is indeed very useful to me. I can agree to this transaction."

Shen Tian executed some hand seals, and 10 reddish-gold Dragon Source Fruits appeared in his hands. They exuded an aura that nearly drove Ao Ye mad.

High! Too high!

Even though Ao Ye already had some expectations about the quality of the fruits in Shen Tian's possession, he had still completely underestimated them. Any one of these 10 fruits was enough for him to easily break through the barrier and become a true Rank-9 Black Dragon.

If the Dragon race dared to take a risk and give the remaining nine fruits to Ao Bing, she might even be able to transcend and achieve the legendary Golden Dragon Bloodline.

That was the highly-acclaimed peerless bloodline that could make one a Thearch!

Of course, the possibility of that happening was not very high. The Golden Dragon bloodline was just too rare.

In all recorded history over the past tens of thousands of years across the five regions, there had only been one mention of a true Golden Dragon.

Wasting nine supreme-grade Dragon Source Fruits for that dim possibility—the Dragon race would never do that. It was too risky.

After storing the 10 Dragon Source Fruits, Ao Ye's pained look returned to his eyes.

A small black hammer appeared in his hand. It was palm-sized and covered in faint dragon markings.

The moment that black hammer appeared, cracks appeared in the fabrics of space, and one could hear the faint humming of a Dragon Immortal artifact. This hammer possessed exceptional power!

Ao Ye said in resignation. "This is the Ocean Divine Hammer. It is the Dragon race's stalwart legacy treasure and made of Dragon Black Metal, which is ranked number five on the Immortal Metal List. It is just half a step away from becoming a true Immortal artifact!

"Its value is far beyond that of a hundred Sage artifacts. It possesses the special characteristics of Dragon Black Metal, meaning that it is completely indestructible. Can I use this to exchange for the rest of the Dragon Source Fruits?"

A subpar Immortal artifact had always been worth much more than a Sage artifact. Not to mention that this was a supreme-grade subpar Immortal artifact made of Dragon Black Metal.

The value of this Ocean Divine Hammer alone was already enough to cover all the Dragon Source Fruits.

Shen Tian was considered part of Black Dragon Island, plus he had boundless potential. Also, the Dragon Source Fruit was just too beneficial to the Dragon race, and those in Shen Tian's possession were all of supreme-grade quality.

If not for all those four reasons, Ao Ye could never bear to hand over this Ocean Divine Hammer!

Who would willingly hand over their most precious treasure for nothing?

Ranked number five on the Immortal Metal List. Dragon Black Metal?

Shen Tian's eyes lit up. He felt the energy in his body vibrate intensely.

He had gotten two extremely useful treasures in this short period. He was in luck's way just now!

Meanwhile, Shen Tian had always felt that as his cultivation level increased, his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer, a supreme-grade Spirit artifact, no longer felt quite right.

He was already able to smash a Heavenly Venerable now, and those Heavenly Venerables all had supreme-grade Spirit artifacts. Some of the wealthier ones even had lower-grade Sage artifacts to protect themselves.

Shen Tian felt that using the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer no longer suited his status. He felt cheap using it.

It was great now that he could use this hammer, a subpar Immortal artifact.

Not to blow his own horn, but as long as his opponent didn't retaliate, Shen Tian would dare to hammer even a Sage!

"Dragon King, you are too generous!"

Shen Tian accepted the Ocean Divine Hammer and dug the remaining Dragon Source Fruits out of his space ring.

He even took out a silver dragon-shaped Enlightenment tea leaf. "Bring this tea leaf back with you too. Perhaps it might be useful to you."

Woah! So many Dragon Source Fruits!

Ao Ye felt somewhat dazed at the sight of that pile of Dragon Source Fruits. It was enough to bring all the Rank-9 Black Dragons on Black Dragon Island to the Rank-9!

For a Dragon like Ao Bing, who possessed exemplary bloodline, they could even pick a few of the best fruits and raise her bloodline to the peak Ran-9 level.

Even if she was unable to transform into a peerless Golden Dragon, she would still become a formidable opponent that could reign over the five regions!

Not to mention that this Enlightenment tea leaf was also very valuable.

Little Uncle really knows how to return the favor!

Ao Ye carefully kept the Dragon Source Fruits and the Enlightenment tea leaf. He cupped his fists in respect. "The Dragon race will never forget Little Uncle's good turn to us! Let me go back and settle these Dragon Source Fruits first. I will come back another day on an official visit with presents to personally thank the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground."

With that, Ao Ye turned into a massive Black Dragon and flew up into the sky.

Shen Tian stepped out of the private void and stood on the Divine Firmament Lightning Island with a satisfied feeling. He had really struck it rich this time.

After ingesting the peerless fruit, Shen Tian had already attained the Dragon Emperor Constitution. The rest of those Dragon Source Fruits were useless to him. They would barely make any improvements to his physique.

Exchanging them for the Emperor Dragon Pearl and the Ocean Divine Hammer was like getting treasures for nothing.

However, Ao Ye had never asked Shen Tian about the whereabouts of that peerless fruit. Perhaps he could already sense from Shen Tian's aura that he had already consumed it.

To have become the Dragon King, apart from being very powerful, he must also be very smart and perceptive.

The Emperor Dragon Pearl and Ocean Divine Hammer had been used to exchange for the fruits. But they could also be considered as Black Dragon Island's investments in Shen Tian.

On his end, Shen Tian also knew what that exchange meant.

This favor bestowed by the Dragon race—he was willing to bear it!

Over the next month, Shen Tian didn't go anywhere but stayed in seclusion on the Divine Firmament Lightning Island. He was refining the power of the Emperor Dragon Pearl to break through to the peerless Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage—something which was unprecedented across the five regions.

But the process was even more difficult than Shen Tian imagined!

If going through the first seven refinement stages was like ascending one hill over another, then going from the Golden Body Seventh Refinement stage to the Eighth was like ascending the Taishan Mountain.

And going from the Eighth Refinement Stage to the Ninth was like conquering Mount Everest!

Even with the Emperor Dragon Pearl, Shen Tian found the process extremely challenging.

Shen Tian sat cross-legged in a seclusion chamber 3,000 feet below the sea.

A silver-white cloud of chaotic aura surged beside him, rippling along with his efforts.

Yes, Shen Tian was not just thinking about breaking through to a simple Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage.

If so, he would have already successfully done so a long time ago.

After gaining the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, Shen Tian had decided to cultivate a Chaotic Golden Body!

He had his clone especially go back to Chaotic Star Island, get more chaotic aura, and refine it.

Of course, this amount of chaotic aura was not considered a lot.

After all, one had to expend a massive amount of extraordinary item energy to refine chaotic aura. Even though Shen Tian's extraordinary items could replenish themselves, the recovery was not instantaneous.

To refine that chaotic aura, Shen Tian had spared no expense. He consumed vast quantities of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

Of course, it proved very effective.

Over the past month, Shen Tian could feel the chaotic aura gradually merge into his body.

Triggered by the chaotic aura, he could feel his physical body self-destruct and rebuild itself to greater heights. And this process kept repeating itself at astonishing speeds.

It was an indescribable feeling.

It was like leaping across the boundaries of all life forms, transforming an ant into a massive dragon!

Shen Tian had never seen another Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage practitioner. Even though he was just at the peak Eight Refinement Stage, he believed that his physical body would be more powerful.

His physical body, refreshed by the chaotic aura, could now easily overcome other Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage practitioners!

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the surface of the golden Emperor Dragon Pearl. From those cracks, an endless stream of golden energy surged into Shen Tian's body.

Shen Tian formed some hand seals, and a large black vortex appeared in space, absorbing all the chaotic aura.

The chaotic aura surged into the vortex like bees attracted to honey.

Rumble!

The boundless energy rippled, and a terrifying underwater current was created in the ocean!

Shen Tian's golden eyes shone. His hair flew wildly as his naked body dazzled with a golden light. He looked like both a god and a demon.

At that moment, he could feel that barrier slowly being broken down—the legendary Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage.

He had finally succeeded!

Chapter 348: Shen Tian VS Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus

Why cultivate the Chaotic Golden Body?

This was the peerless Golden Body recorded in the Chaotic Tinder Sutra. One could use chaotic aura to cultivate a constitution.

When cultivated to the highest level, one's physical body could even transverse the void and become virtually indestructible, to possess a physical prowess that would make a Perfected Immortal tremble.

Of course, Shen Tian's Golden Body was still far from that level.

After all, a true Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage always started with using chaotic aura right from the first stage, building a good foundation through all the stages.

However, Shen Tian had only started using chaotic aura from the eighth stage. Although his body was far stronger than your usual Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage, there was still quite a lot of room for improvement.

"Looks like I will have to go back to the Chaotic Star Island domain to get more chaotic aura whenever I have the time."

The seclusion chamber which Shen Tian was in had turned into dust after his breakthrough.

Shen Tian stood there 3,000 feet under the sea, smiling confidently.

With his Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage and his partial control of chaotic energy, Shen Tian's prowess had once again increased.

Now, Shen Tian might even be able to defeat a somewhat weaker Sage in an impromptu battle.

It should be pointed out he was still a Golden Core cultivator!

Of course, if the Sage knew of Shen Tian's trump cards beforehand, it would not be so easy for Shen Tian to defeat said Sage.

After all, even the weakest Sage would have already undergone a tribulation and was half a step closer to the immortal realm. His power was definitely not something that a Heavenly Venerable could compare to.

Even if they could not handle the chaotic aura, they could definitely just get rid of Shen Tian.

As long as they could maintain a certain distance, they could use their powerful Sage energy to launch attacks at Shen Tian. Even with his chaotic aura, Shen Tian would find it hard to defend.

It would be difficult for Shen Tian to beat a Sage in an upfront battle. He could only hope to do so via a sneak attack. But the reverse was also true.

It would be nearly impossible for a normal Sage to kill Shen Tian.

The strength of a Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage was beyond imagination.

On top of that, Shen Tian had his supreme-grade Sage artifact, the Longyuan Divine Armor, as well as the powerful life energy and healing abilities gifted to him by the extraordinary items inside his body. It would be very difficult for a Sage to kill Shen Tian in just one move.

As long as they could not kill Shen Tian in just one move, he would be able to execute his void technique and hide inside the void.

However, if the opponent was someone like Wang Shenxu, even if one was able to escape into the void, they would not be able to conceal their aura.

A Sage could easily detect and zero in on your aura and pursue you into the void.

Fortunately, Shen Tian was able to completely mask his own aura. Entering the void would be like a drop of water merging into the great ocean.

By then, even a Great Sage would find it difficult to locate him.

As long as Shen Tian didn't try anything suicidal, few people in the five regions posed a threat to him.

What did "try anything suicidal" mean?

Very simple. For example, trying to break through to the Nirvana realm now.

The adverse after-effects of the Tinder Sutra would make Shen Tian's providence drop drastically.

If careless, he might meet with some unlucky incident. And no one knew just how unlucky he might be.

Thus, Shen Tian had resolved to not try and break through to the Nirvana realm before completely attaining his Chaotic Golden Body.

And before trying to break through to the Nirvana realm, he would also go out and find some great fortuitous opportunities first, to bump up his providence.

In the meantime, Shen Tian could start preparing to crack his core to form the Nascent Soul. He wanted to see what kind of Nascent Soul would be born out of a Golden Core as big as a pumpkin. Would it be some kind of giant Nascent Soul?

Shen Tian's Saint Token vibrated and exuded a faint golden glow. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was calling him.

Shen Tian took a deep breath and spread open his golden wings.

Huff!

At 3,000 feet under the sea, the water pressure was extreme. Nonetheless, this pressure was like nothing to Shen Tian.

His wings sliced through the water as he morphed into a golden light and shot straight up to the surface!

Rumble!

Massive waves appeared on the surface of the boundless ocean.

A dazzling golden figure shone under the sun, like a god who had just descended to earth.

"Well now kid, looks like your power has increased. Come spar with your Martial Uncle!"

A loud holler echoed through space. Chu Longhe charged toward Shen Tian with his golden staff. He was coming at Shen Tian with tremendous force.

"Supreme Ocean Staff: Mighty Awakening!"

Chu Longhe was just a Heavenly Venerable, but few people would view him as a normal Heavenly Venerable. This included Shen Tian.

After all, this guy had once killed seven Sages many years ago. His powers might have been stripped down, and he had to re-cultivate a Godfiend body, but his battle prowess was still far beyond that of a Heavenly Venerable.

Remember that Chu Longhe had previously beaten that Blood Kill Sect Master into such a wretched state on the Primordial Battlefield's periphery.

This old man! Launching a sneak attack on me after finishing his enlightenment tea?

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. A black divine light appeared in his hand.

The divine light then magnified and became several dozen feet long.

As the giant golden staff came toward Shen Tian, the fabrics of space disintegrated into dust as the staff crashed down heavily on that black divine light.

Boom!

Tremendous energy spread across the surface of the ocean.

Massive waves surged and crashed as storm clouds streaked with lightning gathered.

It was like Armageddon!

This was the power of truly mighty cultivators. To a normal mortal, having such power was as good as being a real immortal.

If Shen Tian was willing—with his control over lightning, his divine wings, and his ability to summon the winds and water—he could set up his own powerful country in Eastern Wilderness.

Roar!

The black and golden lights clashed with a thunderous noise that sounded like a dragon's roar.

"Punk, you do have some strength in you!"

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' golden staff vibrated intensely as the Ocean Divine Hammer deflected it.

The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes. His first attack had just been a testing move, so he did not exhibit his full power. But it was still enough to make many Heavenly Venerables defend themselves with full force.

But his little martial nephew of his managed to deflect his golden staff so effectively with just one flick of his hammer.

In fact, if Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had not reacted fast enough and braced himself, the counter-force would have sent him flying across the sky.

"Martial Uncle, what the hell are you doing?"

Shen Tian stared at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus in exasperation. This old man was too much. He was even attacking his own people.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' golden staff glowed brighter as he smiled. "You have caused quite a ruckus in North Sea. I want to see how strong you are now. Stop wasting time. Here I come!"

The golden staff came straight at Shen Tian.

Every stroke was full of power, such that the fabrics of space were being turned to dust.

It was clear that while Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus didn't exhibit his full power earlier, he had turned serious now.

The corners of Shen Tian's lips twitched. "In that case, let's go."

Since a free training partner had come knocking on his door, Shen Tian would not hesitate to make use of him. Anyway, he was also very curious about just how strong he had become.

"Heavy Water, Reincarnation Disk, Feather Immortal, Nan Ming Li Fire, Hurricane Lily: Activate!"

A multi-colored divine light engulfed Shen Tian, and his aura surged.

He had his Ocean Divine Hammer in his right hand, which was covered in a layer of the silver First Essence Heavy Water.

Rumble!

Lightning crisscrossed the skies as the roars of dragons could be vaguely heard.

Shen Tian spread his wings, and he turned into an after-shadow.

Boom!

Tremendous waves rose again, sending countless sea creatures scurrying off to hide.

The golden staff once again clashed with the Ocean Divine Hammer with equal strength. At that moment, neither side was giving way.

"You are indeed my Martial Uncle Azure Lotus. You are strong!"

Shen Tian was secretly shocked. He had been bursting with confidence after attaining the Chaotic Golden Body. He had been under the impression that his power was already enough to dominate all Heavenly Venerables.

But he was unable to gain any advantage over Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus at all. He was able to perfectly counter every single one of his hammer strikes.

It was true that Shen Tian wasn't using his Executing Heaven Sword or his most powerful flying sword technique. But Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus also had many trump cards in his back pocket, which he had yet to utilize. He had not even executed his full strength.

Shen Tian just had his ego puffed up before being beaten right back down.

There were so many hidden talents in the five regions. It was better to maintain a low profile!

Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was even more shocked than Shen Tian.

He wasn't using his full strength or all his best techniques, but he was fighting seriously.

There was no one whom Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus needed to use his Supreme Ocean Staff with maximum strength among all the Sage-level and below practitioners in Eastern Wilderness.

But now, he was unable to completely suppress Shen Tian. In fact, he was at the risk of being struck by a hammer if he got careless.

It should be pointed out that the kid was just a Golden Body practitioner!

Who the hell was so powerful at just the Golden Body realm?

Rumble!

Another exchange of blows later...

Shen Tian shot toward space like a cannon while Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus crashed onto the beach under the hammer's massive force. Dust flew everywhere.

"Alright! Stop it!"

A dazzling golden light appeared on the beach.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura rippled. "Senior Brother, you are the elder here. What kind of behavior is this?"

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' mouth twitched.

Weren't you the one who wanted me to test this kid's true power, making me spar with him?

If not for the fact that you offered me such a tempting price to do this, I would never have attacked this little monster!

This is strenuous and doesn't get me in his good books. And now you are jumping in to play the good guy?

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was about to erupt in rage but was suddenly interrupted by the Sacred Leader.

"Tian'er, you have finally emerged from seclusion.

"Junior Sister Golden Lotus sent a message that the restrictions on Immortal Abode Island borders have been completely cleared. Cultivators from the various powers have already entered the island."

Immortal Abode Island! We can enter now?

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' eyes lit up. He promptly forgot about exposing the Sacred Leader to Shen Tian.

After all, everyone knew that the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb had countless fortuitous opportunities. In addition, plenty of prodigies and strong practitioners would be going there in search of those fortuitous opportunities. And they would definitely have all sorts of treasures on them.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus licked his lips and sent a secret voice transmission to Shen Tian.

"Little Martial Nephew, you are so powerful now! Why don't we join forces at Immortal Abode Island? Get a few big scores?

"I will be able to greatly enhance my powers if I can meet with some great providence there!"

Chapter 349: Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming, Tea From 1,000 Years Ago

There had already been an inkling of the news of the Immortal Abode Island appearing a few months ago.

That was the island where the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb was and had been hidden within North Sea for the past tens of thousands of years without being discovered.

Now that the island had appeared, the attention of countless forces was naturally attracted toward it. It was unknown just how many fights had taken place secretly.

It was needless to say about the importance of the fortuitous opportunities within the Thearch's tomb. Thus, after the news was leaked, it was definitely not something a single force could take for themselves, or else other forces would crazily target them.

Even if the North Sea demons were extremely powerful, they would have to share the loot and cooperate with other forces from other regions.

Meanwhile, the forces that were on good terms with the demon races were naturally being roped in to cooperate and resist the pressure from the other sacred grounds.

Those that split the profit together were friends, and they would work together to prevent others from snatching the profits—that was the hidden rule of the five regions.

After confirming the name list of the forces splitting the loot on Immortal Abode Island, the various forces' numerous top mighty beings also started to break through the restriction on Immortal Abode Island's outer area.

Immortal Abode Island was the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb. The island was tens of thousands of miles in length from the east to the west, and countless mystic realms were hidden within.

The whole island was just like a continent, and the number of fortuitous opportunities within was immeasurable.

Meanwhile, the dangers within also went without saying.

Even the top Sages of the various sacred grounds also had to pay a huge price to break through the island's restriction by using their sect's most-treasured powerful artifacts.

The reason they could do that was also partially because of the array formation's power's decline due to time.

If not, one would not even be able to enter the Thearch's tomb!

After all, that Thearch had been absolutely invincible in the mortal world's five regions.

Even if Perfected Immortals of the Celestial World descended, they would only be slightly stronger ants that the Thearch could easily annihilate.

Shen Tian looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. "Master, Immortal Abode Island is the tomb of the Thearch, so if many of our sect's disciples were to enter and encounter any dangers, it might be difficult to deal with."

The Sacred Leader nodded. "Very good. You now have the critical thinking of a leader if you're able to think of that."

The lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader swayed gently as he said coldly, "However, the fortuitous opportunities present in Immortal Abode Island are definitely something that most disciples might not be able to encounter a second time in their life.

"No one is willing to miss such a fortuitous opportunity, or else they might regret it for the rest of their life.

"After reaching Immortal Abode Island, I'll split the disciples and elders into three batches and let the elders bring the disciples in.

"This will ensure that not all the disciples will enter Immortal Abode Island at the same time, so even if they encounter dangers, it will be less pressuring for us to save them."

Although the Sacred Leader's voice was cold, it still carried a trace of fear and cautiousness.

It was in the end the Bodhimanda of a Thearch, so even a Sage might not be able to guarantee their safety.

As a matter of fact, the distance between obtaining a fortuitous opportunity and death could be just a hair's breadth.

So no matter how one was reluctant to let slip those fortuitous opportunities in Immortal Abode Island, it was not good for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to put all the eggs in one basket.

Shen Tian understood the Sacred Leader's thinking, so he nodded. "I understand. If I enter Immortal Abode Island, which elder should I follow?"

The Sacred Leader was momentarily stunned before he smiled and said, "You, Yunxi, Yunting, and Fang Chang are not restricted.

"Given your providence, even if there really is danger on the island, it will most likely not threaten your safety. You only need to be cautious."

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, who was at the side, hurriedly said, "Junior Brother, the four of them are the future hope of our sect, so how could you let them adventure alone?

"I can follow and protect them. Although this might hold me up from looking for my fortuitous opportunity, I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the future of the sect."

Martial Uncle Azure Lotus wants to follow me?

Shen Tian glanced on top of Azure Lotus' head, and his mouth could not help but twitch when he saw the mottled black and white halo.

Azure Lotus had freeloaded quite a number of fortuitous opportunities that Shen Tian brought back in the past year, such as Decalamity, the God of War Pagoda, the Nirvana Holy Liquid, and so on.

Azure Lotus had relied on the fortuitous opportunities to increase his providence, so his originally black halo had turned white by quite a lot.

The problem was that... Azure Lotus was still extremely unlucky!

Even the providence of an ordinary mortal selling pork at the entrance was much higher than Azure Lotus'.

Having him follow me in Immortal Abode Island that is filled with dangers everywhere? Forget it!

Shen Tian felt a shiver run down his back, so he hurriedly said, "Master, it's okay! Martial Uncle Azure Lotus is too strong, so it's too much of a waste for him to follow me."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader glanced at Azure Lotus coldly, well-aware of what his Senior Brother was thinking. "Senior Brother, when the time comes, you'll naturally have your own mission.

"As for protecting Tian'er and the other three, someone else will be responsible for this mission. Senior Brother, you don't need to worry about it."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had arranged everything as he spoke.

Currently, the various forces had already set the rules after Immortal Abode Island's array formation was broken.

The Sage and above cultivators would join hands to break through the restrictions present deeper within the island so that the Thearch's tomb could be accessed earlier.

As for those cultivators below the Sage stage, they could search for fortuitous opportunities on the island freely, and what they would obtain all depended on their luck.

One had to know that in the tens of thousands of years that Immortal Abode Island had been secluded from the outer world, the Golden Crow Thearch's Qi Gathering Array had continuously been nurturing the island. Hence, there were definitely countless rare and extraordinary treasures on the island.

If one's luck was good, then it would even be possible for them to discover the Golden Crow Thearch's core legacy and directly rise up to dominate an entire region on their own.

Of course, sometimes strength was really not the most important factor in deciding how much one could obtain from a mystic realm.

It was having high providence!

To the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, this was the perfect home advantage for Shen Tian!

As long as Fang Chang, Yunxi, and Yunting can ride on Tian'er's coattail, they will definitely benefit greatly.

Yeap, all according to plan!

In fact, most Divine Firmament cultivators had already begun heading toward Immortal Abode Island a few days ago.

That was because Shen Tian had yet to come out, so the Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus had stayed behind to wait for him since the fortuitous opportunities in the outer region were not attractive to them anyways.

Tian'er's favorability is more important!

Now that Shen Tian had come out, the Sacred Leader instantly used his arts to tear through space and create a space portal. The three of them headed toward Immortal Abode Island through the space portal.

What was worth mentioning was that in the past, when Shen Tian had followed the Sacred Leader and traveled through space, he could not sense the movement of space.

However, after obtaining the Hurricane Lilies and comprehending the Kun Peng Dao, Shen Tian's perception of space had increased greatly, and he could vaguely sense the change in space.

Shen Tian even had an intuition that if he was willing, he might even be able to try some simple space teleportation.

Of course, he definitely would not be able to match up the Sacred Leader in terms of distance.

After around an hour, Shen Tian felt that the power of the void had gradually become weaker.

Are we reaching soon?

Just as Shen Tian had such a thought, he saw that the space in front of him started cracking apart.

An extremely bright crimson red light shone on Shen Tian, and what followed afterward was the sound of the surging waves.

Once Shen Tian stepped out of the void tunnel, he discovered that he was on a humongous crimson red sandy beach, and rich fire-attribute Spirit Qi filled the air.

It was an island surrounded by sea, but it was burning hot like a volcano!

So this is Immortal Abode Island?

Shen Tian spread his golden wings and flew high in the clouds as he looked down on the island. All he could see were a crimson red color, the red beach, red boulders, and all kinds of red weeds and trees.

Everything here was filled with fire elements, and if a cultivator, who had learned fire-attribute cultivation techniques, lived on this island, then said cultivator's cultivation level would definitely increase rapidly over the years.

This was only the island's outer region, but the fire-attribute Spirit Qi's density could already be compared to the sacred grounds' core areas.

If one were to enter deeper into the island, it would be unimaginable just how exaggerating the fire-attribute Spirit Qi's density would be!

Besides this, Immortal Abode Island's space stability also exceeded the outside world greatly.

If the space of the mortal land was like window paper and the sacred grounds' space like glass, then Immortal Abode Island's space was like tempered glass, and its stability was strengthened by many times.

In a place with such high space stability, the detection range of one's spiritual power, speed, and destructive power would be greatly restricted.

It was no exaggeration to say that even those weaker Heavenly Venerables would not be able to tear open space in this Immortal Abode Island.

"As expected of the Thearch's tomb, it's exceptional."

Shen Tian slowly descended back on the beach. He clenched his fist and punched the air.

Instantly, the mighty surging gale formed from the punch gathered to the extreme, and wherever the wind blew, majestic dragon roars could be vaguely heard.

The space was torn apart, and a hole was formed, revealing the black void cracks like a spider web within. It emitted an aura that would terrify others before quickly recovering.

Upon witnessing Shen Tian's attack, the Sacred Leader nodded. "Tian'er, you have the Saint Token on you, and the energy of three attacks are stored within it.

"Under normal circumstances, you should not encounter any fatal dangers. However, if you really do face a crisis, don't worry as I'll rush to you quickly."

After finishing, the Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus both left.

As the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's most powerful on Immortal Abode Island, they also had the mission of breaking through the array formation. As such, they could not waste much time.

Otherwise, when they started splitting the loot, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would suffer a loss!

Meanwhile, Divine Firmament's people seemed to have heard of the news that the Sacred Leader and Shen Tian had arrived, so they hurried there together.

Naturally, Divine Firmament's top four prodigies—Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, and Zhao Hao—were leading everyone else.

Amongst them, Fang Chang had already increased his cultivation level greatly. He had completely broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the same happened for Zhang Yunting too afterward.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yunxi had successfully achieved peak Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage under the help of the enlightenment tea and was only a step away from the so-called Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage.

After taking that step, she would most likely consider breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!

After all... her competitors were simply too powerful!

What was worth mentioning was that as a young prodigy, whose engagement had been broken off, Zhao Hao's talent was also quite extraordinary,

After Zhao Hao had joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and was taught by both the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Sword Venerable Qian Yang, his cultivation level had soared through the roof.

After being honed by going through the ups and downs of life, Zhao Hao's mental fortitude was much stronger than those of his same age. At the same time, the Nine Refinement of Sword Flame mystic arts strengthened both his physical body and spiritual power.

Zhao Hao's earlier Sixth Refinement Stage Golden Core had been of extremely high quality and even more outstanding than Fang Chang's back then.

Now that he had undergone the past few months of harsh training, and with the enlightenment tea's help, Zhao Hao had raised his cultivation level to the peak of Golden Core Eighth Refinement Stage.

At least, when it came to Eastern Wilderness' younger generation, Zhao Hao was as famous as some sacred grounds' Saints.

Looks like this sheep is growing unexpectedly well!

Besides the four of them, the Favored Ones' founders, such as Eunuch Gui, Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, Zhen Zhijia, Xiong Meng, Qin Gao, and so on, were naturally there too.

They were basically Shen Tian's die-hard worshippers, so during the period Shen Tian had not been in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, they had been the ones taking charge.

Meanwhile, their strength had also been improving rapidly with the help of fortuitous opportunities, like the God of War Pagoda and enlightenment tea.

Originally, given their providence and talent, they might not have the chance to break through to the Golden Core stage in their life.

However, Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, and others had reached the Golden Core stage in just one year.

Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao had even cultivated the Demon Book of Hyuga to an extremely high level. They had reached the Golden Core Sixth Refinement Stage!

Although they were only at the Sixth Refinement Stage, aided by their elusive speed and crafty swordsmanship, even Zhao Hao would not be able to block them if they cooperated.

Even in the whole Eastern Wilderness or even the five regions, these people could be counted as extremely outstanding prodigies.

Thus, now everyone was confident enough to even walk with great vigor!

"Your Highness, you've finally come out of seclusion!" Eunuch Gui, in his long red robe, looked at Shen Tian with concern. "Did everything go well during the seclusion this time?"

Shen Tian smiled and nodded. "I improved slightly, and I just reached the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage. If nothing goes wrong, then I can prepare to break through to the next stage."

Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage!?

Everyone was momentarily shocked before looking at each other in surprise.

What did our Saint say just now? Is it really Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage and not Golden Core Eighth Refinement Stage?

Although they had never heard of anyone successfully breaking through to the Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage in the five regions, it was Master Heavens!

If there was truly someone in this world that could reach the Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage, it must be Master Heavens!

Breaking through to the next stage was just too low for him!

Song Fugui and Liu Taiyi glanced at each other, and the former revealed a mysterious smile.

A low profile!

It's definitely because Master Heavens wants to keep a low profile!

Shen Tian had been keeping a low profile all along. Although his talent was beyond comparison, he never allowed others to publicize it.

However, Song Fugui felt that as one of the Favored Ones' great elders, he should be able to understand Master Heavens as his cultivation level was definitely not as simple as just a mere Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage.

That's because someone as proud as Master Heavens would definitely continue to improve his strength and definitely not prepare to break through to the Nirvana Stage if his cultivation level was only at the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage.

Since Master Heavens had said he would break through, then his cultivation level was definitely higher than the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage!

He's definitely at least at Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage or even the Tenth Refinement Stage!

Well, in theory, Golden Body's highest refinement stages are only the Ninth and Tenth Refinement Stage.

But that's only the limitations of normal cultivators. Is Master Celestial a normal cultivator?

He's the main lead of this era and has no limitations!

However, since Master Celestial has already announced that he is a Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage practitioner, he might have his own considerations. Smart people should learn to read others' hidden meanings and not say what should not be said.

Shopkeeper Song secretly decided that he would obediently follow Shen Tian.

Shen Tian looked at Zhao Hao, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He coughed lightly and said, "Junior Brother Zhao's cultivation level is improving as time passes. Congratulations."

Zhao Hao scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "Senior Brother Saint, you're flattering me. Such slight improvement is nothing compared to Senior Brother's and is not worth mentioning at all.

"If not for Immortal Abode Island's fire spirits, which can nurture special Fire Spirit Crystals and increase fire-attribute cultivators' strength greatly, I won't be able to break through so quickly."

Fire Spirit Crystals?

Shen Tian was slightly stunned. "What is that?"

Before Zhao Hao could explain, Shopkeeper Song quickly passed the jade bamboo slip, which was already prepared beforehand, to Shen Tian.

"Master Heavens, this is the information regarding Immortal Abode Island."

Liu Taiyi's mouth twitched. He was regretting deeply that he stomped his foot!

No wonder!

Shopkeeper Song had been secretly holding the jade bamboo slip and recording something down these past few days. He was even afraid of being discovered by me.

So he's thinking of buttering up to Master Celestial himself!

Wise move. He's just too smart!

Heaven, why did you create someone like Shopkeeper Song when you already have me!

Shen Tian, on the other hand, appreciated how considerate Shopkeeper Song was. Shopkeeper Song could even be compared to Eunuch Gui.

If this was the mortal royal palace instead of the cultivation sect, a trusted subordinate as considerate as Shopkeeper Song would definitely be promoted to the overall-in-charge of the palace eunuchs and maids.

Shen Tian then concentrated on reading the contents of the jade bamboo slip.

Although Immortal Abode Island had only appeared not long ago, it was already quite attractive to the various forces that had arrived on the island.

Firstly, many fire spirits were formed from fire-attribute Spirit Qi hidden within this island. It was quite miraculous.

They could control the abundance of fire-attribute Spirit Qi on the island, so their attacks were extremely aggressive.

If one could kill those fire spirits, then one would be able to obtain a Fire Spirit Crystal.

The spirit crystal was extremely miraculous and had many uses as it was formed from the purest fire-attribute Spirit Qi.

Whether it was directly absorbing the energy within to increase one's cultivation level or using them as materials to create pills or forge artifacts, the effects would be extraordinary.

Even the fact that Zhao Hao could reach the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage so quickly was also largely because he had absorbed Fire Spirit Crystals.

Anyways, the fire spirits were definitely the best nourishment that all fire-attribute cultivators would dream of having.

If not for the fact that the outer region's fire spirits were simply too weak that even Supremacies were rarely seen—-in other words, they were useless to Heavenly Venerables and Sages—Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus might be reluctant to wait for Shen Tian and immediately massacre the fire spirits.

Besides the fire spirits, there was a so-called Red Flame Volcano in the east of Immortal Abode Island.

There was an extremely powerful exceptional fire, Earth Vein Fire. It was the best flame to make pills or forge artifacts.

Although it could not be compared to the Nan Ming Li Fire, which was ranked on the Exceptional Fire List, an exceptional fire was already extremely rare in the five regions!

If one could obtain the Earth Vein Fire from the Red Flame Volcano, then even most Sages would be tempted and might even fight over it.

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus from Divine Firmament had quite good relations with other cultivators, so under the support of many other cultivators, she had obtained a portion of the exceptional fire.

If she used it to create pills in the future, its effects could be increased greatly.

In the south of Immortal Abode Island, the Black Snake race's Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming had discovered a Dark Flame Gold Mine. It was a supreme-grade mine with an abundance of ores.

Such ores were extremely important to most fire-attribute sects as Dark Flame Gold Essence could be obtained from the ores, which was a supreme-grade material to forge fire-attribute spirit artifacts.

It was a pity that few Black Snakes mainly cultivated fire-attribute techniques, so this mine was quite useless to them. Thus, they were now thinking of selling it to sacred grounds!

It was said that Southern Border's Phoenix race's elders had tried finding Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming in hopes of buying this mine, but she had politely turned down, using excuses.

Afterward, another few human sacred grounds had wanted to buy partial ownership of the mine, but they had still been politely refused.

Had the forces not agreed beforehand that the loot would belong to the person who discovered them, they might have already started battling over the mine. The value of such a supreme-grade mine was indeed considerable.

Currently, on the south and west of Immortal Abode Island, numerous other fortuitous opportunities were also being discovered, but they could not be compared to the Earth Vein Fire or the Dark Fire Gold Mine. Thus, the Sages were not attracted to make a move.

The true fortuitous opportunities should still be in Immortal Abode Island's inner area, which was surrounded by the array formation!

Just as Shen Tian's divine consciousness entered the jade bamboo slip to check the information regarding Immortal Abode Island, an indifferent voice suddenly echoed from the south of the island.

"I am the Black Snake race's Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming, and the Dark Flame Gold Mine is now in my race's hands.

"Those that want to buy the Dark Flame Gold Mine, bring Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Chu Longhe, to me, or else there's no room for negotiations."

Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming was the Black Snake race's princess. Her father, mother, and grandfather were all Sages, so she had an extraordinary status in the Black Snake race.

If not, she would not have been able to decide on selling such an important mine, like the Dark Flame Gold Mine, with just Heavenly Venerable cultivation level. It would be impossible even if she was the first one to have discovered the mine!

She had put the Dark Flame Gold Mine as a bounty for the various forces to bring Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to her, and such a condition was extremely appealing.

"Qing Ming, you're going too far! Senior Brother Chu is mine!"

"Sister Qing Ming, what happened back then was just a misunderstanding, so please don't make things difficult for First Senior Brother."

Two familiar voices echoed. They were Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus. Who knew what kind of drama would occur with those three women?

Anyway, Shen Tian could vaguely sense powerful auras appearing on the island's outer region once he closed his eyes. They seemed to be making a move because of Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming's bounty.

Of course, it was all because of his Connate Constitution's special effects that he could listen to those voices and sense those powerful auras.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for cultivators weaker than Heavenly Venerable to sense so far in the distance on Immortal Abode Island, not to mention hearing the voices.

This was the gossip that only mighty beings had the qualifications to listen to—those weaklings that were not even Heavenly Venerables had no qualifications to hear such things.

At that moment, the deafening thunderclap sounded west of the island.

Golden lightning instantly smashed the space all around into pieces, and a black void vortex was formed. It then began sucking seawater endlessly.

"Zhang Longyuan, you actually sneak-attacked me!"

"Senior Brother, 800 years have passed since things became awkward with Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming and you. It's time to clear things up."

"F*ck you! You think that things could be cleared up between her and me? You're just tempted by the ores, someone help, save me! The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is heartless. He's going to sell his Senior Brother out for ores!"

"Senior Brother, please stop shouting. No matter how strong your Godfiend Body is, you can't break free from being bound by my Mixed Divine Lightning chains."

Golden lightning pierced through the air and as the heavenly aura surrounding the Sacred Leader fluctuated vigorously. A chain formed from Mixed Divine Lightning appeared from within the heavenly aura.

The old Taoist priest wearing a purple robe was bound on the other side of the chain, and currently, his hair was standing from being struck by lightning.

He struggled crazily, trying to escape. Unfortunately, the Mixed Divine Lightning chains had bound him like a dumpling. They were so tight it was even difficult to move his fingers.

"Senior Brother, it's all for your own good. Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming has such a powerful background and has been concerned about you for so many years. Just admit defeat!"

The Sacred Leader's voice was cold and emotionless all along, but his words caught countless Heavenly Venerables and Sages between laughter and tears.

However, the eyes of the mighty figures, who were aware of the gossip from back then, lit up.

This tea that we have waited for almost 1,000 years, can we finally drink it now?

Azure Lotus, serves you right!

Haha, how gratifying!

Chapter 350: Wild Hero, Princess Linglong

Shen Tian wisely stayed out of the matter between those two high-ranking people.

After all, his Master was his direct leader, and it was not good practice to wag one's tongue carelessly.

And he didn't know why the Black Snake race's Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming was giving a bounty for Martial Uncle Azure Lotus. Whether it was love turned to hate or a resurgence of old hatred.

As the old saying went, "When you missed a person, just one day would feel like three years."

Shen Tian had heard quite a bit of gossip from the White Prince regarding Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming. It was not just one day between them...

Ahem, they had been apart for not just one day. They had not met for 800-1,000 years.

Given the characteristics of snakes, they should be needier in that aspect.

It would be fine if Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming had no feelings for Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. At the very most, they might just go one round.

But if Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming harbored romantic feelings for Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and she had been suffering in loneliness for the past 800-1,000 years...

Damn, it wouldn't just be one round. It would probably be one crazy affair!

Wild hero, wild hero. Terrifying!

After quietly giving a thumbs up to Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Shen Tian led his brothers as they started their journey in Immortal Abode Island.

With Shen Tian participating, those Divine Firmament true disciples looked like they had all been given a shot of adrenaline. Their battle prowess was at heightened levels!

After all the previous experiences, nearly everyone had been convinced that Shen Tian was the Son of Providence.

Going on an adventure with Shen Tian in this great arena was the best fortuitous opportunity.

They must give their best to let the Saint know they had done all they could; in case they displeased the Saint, and he didn't bring them on the next journey.

About 10 of them formed a small team and explored Immortal Abode Island.

Wherever they went, countless fire spirits would be eliminated and their crystals collected.

Shen Tian smashed a fire-element eagle spirit and retrieved a crystal from its body.

It must be said that these fire crystals' energy was very pure. It was even purer than the internal energy of many strong cultivators.

It was a pity that it was not that useful to Shen Tian. It could only give his Nan Ming Li Fire a slight boost.

There were quite a number of spirit-herb fortuitous opportunities on top of the heads of Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and the rest. But perhaps the time was not ripe yet, and those spirit-herb fortuitous opportunities were just a common orange color.

This common orange color was not that attractive to Shen Tian. After all, he was someone who had already collected Enlightenment tea leaves.

However, these spirit herbs were rather valuable to many practitioners, and even Heavenly Venerables.

To Fang Chang and the rest, obtaining these spirit herbs was enough to beef up their own treasure horde. It was definitely enough for their daily cultivation purposes.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian's providence also slowly increased when he helped them find those spirit herbs.

It was just that the speed of increase was very slow and torturous.

Even after finding quite a number of spirit herbs, only a couple of golden spots had appeared on Shen Tian's halo.

Going by this speed, when would it finally transform and become purple like Qi Shaoxuan's!?

Shen Tian was still dreaming about becoming a lucky person as soon as possible so that he could explore wherever he pleased!

This won't do. I have to go find a great fortuitous opportunity!

Shen Tian seemed rather deflated after realizing that point.

He slowly shut his eyes as if trying to detect something. He turned toward the west.

Shen Tian suddenly opened his eyes and smiled. "I can feel that there is a big fortuitous opportunity in the west."

It has finally happened!

The Saint's legendary intuition!

Shopkeeper Song and Liu Taiyi exchanged gleeful looks.

The reason was simple. Every time the Saint sensed something, it was always some great fortuitous opportunity.

From the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant and Divine Devouring Vine to the Executing Heaven Sword and God of War Pagoda, he had never disappointed before.

And those who had been following Shen Tian from day one had fully benefited from all those fortuitous opportunities.

"Since the Saint has sensed some great fortuitous opportunity, he might be correct!"

"Senior Brother Saint, lead the way! We will follow you wherever you go!"

"Your Highness, as important as it is to find fortuitous opportunities, your safety is paramount. Please be careful."

"Junior Brother, we will go with you! We have already formed our Nascent Souls, and we are powerful enough to kill peak Nascent Soul cultivators. We can be of great help!"

"Yeap, anyone who wants to harm Saint can only do so over my dead body!"

Everyone decided to follow Shen Tian. This warmed his heart.

It was a good feeling to be trusted!

Shen Tian glanced at the halo on top of Zhao Hao's head before leading the way toward the west.

He did not move at full speed. If he did, his followers would be left behind in his dust. They would never be able to keep up.

After all, Shen Tian's speed was already at the extreme level.

In fact, most Heavenly Venerables were far slower than him!

Immortal Abode Island had been sealed off for 10,000 years, so fire spirits could be found all over the island.

Heavenly Venerables and Sages left those fire spirits alone so as to give their disciples and the younger generation a chance to practice.

As a result, Shen Tian and his team encountered quite a number of fire spirits. They came straight for Shen Tian, one after another, as if sacrificing themselves.

After killing over a dozen fire spirits, Shen Tian finally realized the reason. He was too handsome...

Ahem, just joking.

The true reason was that Shen Tian had concealed his aura after cultivating his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage. It was difficult to discern his true cultivation level.

Those fire spirits were not as smart as your normal cultivator. They probably thought he was an easy target.

Damn, do I look so weak?

Shen Tian shook his head with a bitter smile.

Am I being too low profile? Even low-level spirits dare to try and pick on me?

At this thought, Shen Tian exuded just a little of his aura.

Rumble!

A boundless avatar immediately appeared behind Shen Tian.

The golden lightning shone and filled the air for thousands of feet. The shadows of 10 divine beasts could be vaguely seen.

A blurred figure stood there proudly amongst the 10 divine beasts as if it was a mighty god controlling them all. A god who could mete out heavenly punishment!

This was the avatar that would appear only after one successfully mastered the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra's Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.

Now that Shen Tian had refined those extraordinary items, he could even merge them into the technique.

If Shen Tian wanted to, he could advance his Mixed Divine Lightning and transform it into the unprecedented Chaotic Divine Lightning.

Precisely because of that, Shen Tian's lightning avatar was the first of its kind.

Even if the ancient Divine Firmament Thearch was reborn and at the same level now, he would not be able to compete against Shen Tian in this.

A terrifying lightning aura swept across the area for miles and miles, and all those fire spirits scattered.

Meanwhile, on the northwest side of Immortal Abode Island, a gorgeous young lady dressed in a white gauzy outfit slowly turned her head.

She was sitting cross-legged on a Phoenix with a white jade sword resting across her knees.

She exuded a sharp sword aura.

At the same time, as if she detected something, the divine sword on her knees started to vibrate gently.

After slowly opening her eyes, she gazed toward the general direction where Shen Tian was at. A faint look of surprise flashed past her eyes.

She muttered to herself, "There is such a prodigy outside of Middle Ground?

"Such a terrifying and extraordinary avatar. Probably only Cousin Tianzi can suppress him!

"Father was indeed right. We cannot underestimate the prodigies in the five regions!"
