Chapter 391: Reforging the Golden Body, Connate Chaotic Body!
Golden light shone brightly within the Divine Sun Cauldron, with blazing flames burning throughout.
The fearsome temperature brought waves of heat as if it was about to twist even the space within.
A figure stood upright within the endless golden liquid and stayed completely still.
That figure was Shen Tian.
The Solar Liquid in the surrounding was surging continuously as the energy from the laws that filled the area gathered to form small Golden Crows, which charged toward Shen Tian's acupoints.
In that instant, Shen Tian was completely covered by Solar Liquid, which emitted a blinding firelight.
"Old Man Ye, something seems to be wrong!
"Why are the effects of this liquid so strong? I feel like I'm losing my rationality, so much so that even an angry bird is about to stand up!
"Hot, so hot, it's too hot!"
Shen Tian was completely red, and the Solar Liquid kept on surging toward him, so his entire body burned with blazing True Sun Fire.
Each time the energy Golden Crow rammed into him, Shen Tian's whole body would tremble vigorously, and his aura would surge.
It was obvious that the Solar Liquid, which had been accumulated for 80,000 years, was simply too pure. Thus, it made Shen Tian feel extremely hot.
Shen Tian felt the scene of his body burning with True Sun Fire non-stop slightly strange.
Are you going to brew me into soup?
"Don't worry."
"The Divine Sun Cauldron has been refining the Solar Liquid for 80,000 years, so the liquid's power is even more violent than most exceptional fires.
"Normal Sages might even be unable to absorb it.
"However, you're different. Even the chaotic aura can't do anything to your monster-like body constitution, so how is it possible for you to be boiled so easily?
"At most, you'll be crisp on the outside and tender on the inside while emitting a delicious scent."
Ye Qingcang's echoed in Shen Tian's mind.
The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched!
Crisp outside and tender inside?
Delicious scent?
Just what kind of ridiculous description is that!? Do you think you're grilling a chicken?
Huh?
What delicious scent?
It can't be! It shouldn't happen! Is it possible I'm really going to be cooked thoroughly!?
As if he had read Shen Tian's mind, Ye Qingcang consoled him. "Calm down and circulate your Chaotic Tinder Sutra and absorb the power of the Solar Liquid as your own."
After hearing that, Shen Tian sat down cross-legged and stayed completely still, allowing the endless Solar Liquid to surge toward him. He started the circulation of the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, and the energy in the surroundings was being gathered within him.
In that instant, it was as if a single spark had instantly started a prairie fire.
Boom!
As the Solar Liquid energy surged into Shen Tian, his brocade clothes were instantly burned to ashes. As for his Longyuan Divine Armor, he had stored it long ago.
The numerous extraordinary items within Shen Tian showed abnormal changes, especially that True Sun Fire Seed. It started to absorb the power of the Solar Liquid and grew rapidly, releasing the fearsome power of the exceptional fire that was ranked second on the Exceptional Fire List.
However, the True Sun Fire was not the one that was devouring the most Solar Liquid—it was the chaotic aura within Shen Tian!
It was as if the chaotic aura had become a glutton and started to crazily devour the Solar Liquid's energy to increase its own power.
The Solar Liquid's energy was the purest as it was the essence of heaven and earth, so the chaotic aura could directly convert it.
After absorbing the Solar Liquid, Shen Tian's chaotic aura increased greatly, directly permeating his internal organs, four limbs, and bones.
Shen Tian's body trembled—this was the opportunity that he was waiting for!
He could just nicely borrow this energy to strengthen his Golden Body using the chaotic aura.
He could reforge his Golden Body and achieve the true Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage, thus strengthening his foundation to the maximum.
At that instant, Shen Tian glowed with light as rays of light hovered around him while his acupoints were letting out cackling sounds. He was preparing to reforge his Golden Body by shattering it first as it could not be said to be perfect.
As the Chaotic Tinder Sutra circulated, the chaotic aura kept on surging within Shen Tian's body, merging with his flesh, blood, bones, and tendons.
Even Shen Tian's internal organs were emitting a light silvery-white light.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian's aura was becoming stronger and stronger as his body was refined and strengthened continuously!
In the outside world...
The Golden Crow Thearch did not pay attention to Shen Tian after seeing that he had entered the Divine Sun Cauldron.
To the Golden Crow Thearch, it should not be too difficult for Shen Tian to endure the Solar Liquid's enhancement. He just needed some time.
Afterward, the Golden Crow Thearch's line of light landed on his nine children.
"80,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and all nine of you are finally able to ascend. Today, I shall send all of you to enter reincarnation."
Although the Golden Crow Thearch was a Thearch, the nine Golden Crows were his offspring.
Now that they had been cleansed, the Golden Crow Thearch would send them on their last journey to enter the reincarnation cycle, where they could finally be free.
"Father! If there's a next life, we are still willing to be your children."
The nine Golden Crows' eyes were brimming with tears as they spoke. They were deeply mournful.
Their father, a peerless Thearch, had not given up saving them for 80,000 years. Even if he had died in the Celestial World, he had not forgotten to send a part of his remnant consciousness to assist them in ascending, so how could they not be touched?
"Go with peace of mind."
The Golden Crow Thearch sighed deeply as he tapped with his hand, and a peerless supreme force surged forth.
Radiant light shone upon the ground.
In that instant, the figures of the nine Golden Crows disappeared, turning into golden light before scattering all over heaven and earth, entering reincarnation.
The Golden Crow Thearch's remnant consciousness also turned even more transparent.
Even if it was the Golden Crow Thearch, he would have to consume a large amount of energy to send his nine children into reincarnation.
Nonetheless, the Golden Crow Thearch did not mind as his wish had been fulfilled. It was now time for him to free himself.
Rumble!
At that moment, a loud sound echoed.
Light surged out of the Divine Sun Cauldron and soared into the sky.
Everyone's attention was attracted to the Divine Sun Cauldron. They sensed that an astonishing change had occurred within.
Indeed, the True Sun Fire, which originally enveloped Shen Tian, had already been extinguished, and even the Solar Liquid around him was also sparse.
As the last bit of Solar Liquid merged with Shen Tian's body, his body suddenly trembled vigorously.
At that instant, Shen Tian felt as if a ball of fire had been lit in his heart.
Ah!
Ahhhh!
Ahhhhhhhhh!
I can't take it anymore, I'm about to explode!
Boom!
Shen Tian's body released a deafening sound, and his aura increased crazily at an unbelievable speed!
Chaotic Golden Body First Refinement Stage!
Chaotic Golden Body Second Refinement Stage!
Chaotic Golden Body Third Refinement Stage!
Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage!
The fearsome aura started to grow exponentially, barely stopping as Shen Tian reached Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage.
It was the Ninth Refinement Stage, the peerless Connate Chaotic Golden Body!
Shen Tian suddenly opened his eyes, and they radiated silver light. The aura surrounding him was overbearing.
Shen Tian's aura had become much denser and thicker. Divine sunlight surrounded him, and his body was as crystal clear as a polished spirit jade.
Thanks to the Solar Liquid, Shen Tian reforged his Golden Body and successfully reached the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage.
Not only so, but a special aura also surged out of his body and surrounded him, making Shen Tian seem extremely mystical.
Well, Shen Tian looked even more handsome and ethereal.
"This is... chaotic aura!?"
Shen Tian narrowed his eyes after sensing the aura surrounding him.
The chaotic aura that could silence all living creatures had become extremely gentle, and he could easily control it.
Shen Tian lifted his hand lightly and waved it in the air. The chaotic aura suddenly shot out, turning into a sharp sword that pierced in this space!
Clang!
That loud bang made one's heart palpitate.
This was the Divine Sun Cauldron's internal space, but Shen Tian's attack actually caused it to shake vigorously and even tore it apart.
That chaotic aura seemed to have the strength to even pierce through the sky!
Ye Qingcang appeared and looked at Shen Tian, who was surrounded by the chaotic aura.
He exclaimed, "As expected of this kid's peculiar body constitution. He actually successfully cultivated the Connate Chaotic Body."
Ye Qingcang could not help but gasp as the Connate Chaotic Body was the legendary supreme constitution that was one in a million.
One would definitely be able to reach the peak of cultivation and accomplish great achievements in the future.
However, such a constitution was too powerful, so it was difficult to find people with it even in the Celestial World.
Even if there was, most of them would have the flawed Postnatal Chaotic Body.
Nonetheless, Shen Tian achieved the perfect Connate Chaotic Body, so it was enough to prove just how fearsome his innate constitution was.
Of course, that also proved just how powerful the Chaotic Tinder Sutra was since even Ye Qingcang had never heard of a cultivation technique that used chaotic aura as nourishment.
Just who was that Celestial from the bronze ring?
Was it possible that the Celestial was an existence of 'that' level?
Even a being on such a level would fall for Tian'er's unparalleled handsomeness? Tsk, tsk... As expected of my god-grandson.
If the Great Empress becomes my god-granddaughter-in-law, then wouldn't I be able to do as I pleased in the Celestial World?
Hehe, even just thinking about it is making me excited!
Even his mustache was pulled straight from imagining the impressive future scene.
On the other side, the chaotic aura around Shen Tian gradually disappeared as he landed in front of Ye Qingcang.
Ye Qingcang asked with a smile, "So how is the feeling of the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage's power?"
Shen Tian replied excitedly, "It's extremely powerful. My physical strength has increased by many times, and I am now able to defeat normal Heavenly Venerables easily!
"As long as not a handful of Sages below the Third Tribulation stage come at me at once, I might be able to have the upper hand if I go all out."
Shen Tian could sense the endless energy within his body. It was like a mighty torrent that could surge out anytime.
Shen Tian had achieved the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage that was counted as a supreme constitution even in the Celestial World, and he had even taken the chance to reach the Nirvana realm. He definitely could fight with normal Sages.
Wait! I've already broken through to the Nirvana realm!?
Shen Tian's heart skipped a beat as he thought of something. He hurriedly took out his Dark Light Mirror and started looking at his handsome face... Eh... The providence halo above his handsome face!
Shen Tian discovered that his providence halo, which had long turned dark gold, had already decreased to pale gold.
F*ck
Why is the decrease in providence after reaching a new realm so much more than previously?
Is it because the Chaotic Tinder Sutra is more powerful than the normal Tinder Sutra?
Oh, no!
My providence!
I've worked so hard to reach dark gold from fleecing all those sheep...
In the end, his providence decreased by a large portion, so he was on the brink of tears.
Shen Tian could understand more and more how Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, one of the two Divine Firmament prodigies, would end up so unlucky now.
Although the Tinder Sutra seized the makings of heaven, the effects of decreasing one's providence were not something a normal person could endure.
It was a good thing that Shen Tian could increase his providence through freeloading others' fortuitous opportunities.
If not, his providence halo might have even dropped back to black color just from breaking through.
Of course, it was not a big deal that his providence decreased temporarily as it could increase sooner or later.
What Shen Tian was worried about was that every time his providence decreased, he would always seem to encounter misfortune. Now that his providence decreased in the Golden Crow Thearch tomb, he felt nervous.
"Old Man Ye, now that the nine Golden Crows have ascended, there should not be any more mishaps, right?"
Ye Qingcang smiled and said, "Don't worry. All those who cultivate the Tinder Sutra are known for always surviving no matter the situation. It's not that easy for mishaps to happen."
"Really?"
Shen Tian felt as if that old man was misleading him.
It seemed that there was no good ending for those that cultivated the Tinder Sutra!
Weren't Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and the old man in front of him obvious examples?
Ye Qingcang had been beaten by a mob of people from the Celestial World to the five regions, and even the God of War Pagoda had cracked! His luck did not seem to be good at all!
Upon noticing Shen Tian's doubtful gaze, Ye Qingcang's face turned red, which was a rare scene to see, but he quickly hid it.
He patted Shen Tian's shoulder and said, "Cultivating is originally pursuing a change in fate, so there's no need to care about something as unreal as providence."
"Also, nothing will be able to cause trouble with me around."
Yeap, that's right. At least, in the mortal world's five regions, there's nothing that I fear.
With that thought, Ye Qingcang's conviction became firmer.
"I hope so."
Shen Tian shrugged and decided to find more cute sheep to fleece in the future. He definitely needed to keep a low profile and grow steadily before his providence reached dark gold.
Shen Tian leaped and left the Divine Sun Cauldron.
In the outside world...
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and the Golden Crow Thearch were waiting.
They had sensed that the aura the Divine Sun Cauldron had emitted belonged to Shen Tian.
Even the Golden Crow Thearch did not expect Shen Tian to be so talented that he had actually absorbed all the Solar Liquid inside the Divine Sun Cauldron.
OMG!
One had to know that the Golden Crow Thearch originally thought that it would be amazing for Shen Tian to even be able to absorb just 1/10 of it!
After all, it was the Solar Liquid that had been accumulated for 80,000 years, and its purity was as high as it could be.
Even a Sage would reach the limit by using just half of the liquid.
Shen Tian was just a Golden Body practitioner, so just to what unbelievable degree was his physical body strengthened after absorbing so much Solar Liquid?
Even the Golden Crow Thearch could not begin to imagine!
It could only be said that some people's talent was not something ordinary people could imagine.
Shortly after, Shen Tian appeared before everyone with a flash of golden light.
"Well done, as expected of your astonishing talent. Y-you were actually able to absorb all the Solar Liquid.
"After reforging your Golden Body and refining and strengthening your body, you've become much more handsome. You might even be slightly more handsome than I was back then!"
Obviously, the Golden Crow Thearch was amazed by Shen Tian's talent from what he had said.
He could sense Shen Tian's change.
Although the Chaotic Tinder Sutra would block all divine consciousness so no one would be able to probe Shen Tian's aura, it was obvious from Shen Tian's exposed skin that he was different from before.
His physical body, which was enveloped with divine sunlight, was crystal clear like a jade.
Shen Tian stood upright and looked ethereal and just like a heavenly immortal, who had descended from the Celestial World.
Shen Tian, "..."
Even until now, this old bird is still showing off shamelessly.
However, as the saying went, "Gifts blind the eye."
Since he had sucked dry all the Solar Liquid, it was appropriate that he allowed the Golden Crow Thearch to at least be able to say such things.
Shen Tian cupped his hands together and thanked him sincerely. "Thank you for the gift, Senior."
If it was not for the Solar Liquid, he definitely would not have been able to reach the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage so quickly and obtain the Connate Chaotic Body.
However, although that made Shen Tian's providence decrease by reaching the Nirvana realm, there probably would not be any dangers with his Master, Martial Uncle, and the Golden Crow Thearch present.
Shen Tian suddenly discovered that the Golden Crow Thearch, who was originally majestic, had actually turned slightly transparent as if he was about to disappear anytime.
"Senior, your body..."
Shen Tian could not help but remind the Golden Crow Thearch, "I have the Triple Light Divine Water and some Nirvana Holy Liquid, would they be useful to Senior?"
The Golden Crow Thearch smiled and said, "It's alright. I have completed my mission, so it's time for my soul to return to heaven and earth.
"Truthfully, I am indeed tired from battling for 80,000 years.
"After forgetting everyone and entering reincarnation to walk a new path in a new life, I might be able to reach a higher height in my next life and see the scenery from a higher peak.
"If we're fated, we might meet again in the next life."
The Golden Crow Thearch's voice carried a tinge of relief.
His True Spirit radiated blinding light, and a reddish-gold door appeared slowly in front of everyone.
That was the Gate of Reincarnation. The Golden Crow Thearch would be able to be cleansed of worldly impurities and enter reincarnation to start a new life.
Although that would mean he would lose all his cultivation and memory, life and death did not matter to existences like the Golden Crow Thearch anymore. He was already relieved to be able to see his nine children ascend before reincarnating.
His majestic figure walked toward the reddish-gold gates step by step.
The heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader swayed as he bowed toward the Thearch. "We bid the Thearch farewell."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus also did not crack jokes this time, which was a rare occurrence. He put away his golden staff and bowed before saying, "We bid the Thearch farewell."
Just as Shen Tian was about to do the same, Ye Qingcang's voice suddenly echoed in his mind. "No, there's something strange!"
Boom!
That reddish-gold gate suddenly collapsed, and the reddish-gold light surrounding the Golden Crow Thearch started fluctuating vigorously.
A disturbing aura instantly spread throughout the whole Golden Crow tomb!

Chapter 392: Ye Qingcang Strikes!
Divine energy surged within the tomb.
The Golden Crow Thearch dazzled as he exuded with a colossal Thearch aura.
"What is this!?"
The hair on Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stood on end as he clutched his golden staff tightly and stared at the Golden Crow Thearch.
There's something off about this old bird!
"Old Man Ye, what is this?"
Shen Tian communicated with Ye Qingcang. He also detected something strange about the Golden Crow Thearch.
"This fellow has another aura inside his body, which is fighting to gain control of the True Spirit." Ye Qingcang spoke up. He seemed to have a vague clue about what was happening.
What!?
This is the Golden Crow Thearch, the most powerful practitioner across the five regions!
What kind of thing is able to steal the Thearch's True Spirit?
The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. He was indeed very unlucky after his providence declined.
Even the Thearch could not fend it off?
"When? How is it possible?" roared the Golden Crow Thearch.
The voice of the formerly majestic and regal Thearch was now filled with shock and disbelief.
"Even if my soul is completely annihilated, I will never cede control to you!"
The Golden Crow Thearch hollered as a golden light erupted from all over his body, causing the earth to shake violently.
The golden light flashed as energy surged into the Golden Crow Thearch's body as if trying to subdue something.
Even the Golden Crow Thearch himself never expected for an outerworld Evil Spirit to be hiding in his body, leeching upon the remnants of his soul to infiltrate the five regions.
They were in deep trouble this time!
Evil energy surged inside the Golden Crow Thearch's body, sending chills down everyone's spines. It was clear that this terrifying presence wanted to gain control over the Golden Crow Thearch's True Spirit!
"Hehehehe, you are just a little Golden Crow chick. And yet you want to resist me?
"Do you think it is so easy to break through the barrier between the Celestial World and the mortal world? Do you think the remnants of your soul could have returned without me helping you in secret?
"I only wanted to plant a seed in your body and make use of you to enter this world. Didn't expect such a nice surprise.
"This fellow has a very impressive constitution. If I can overtake his body, I can definitely cultivate the most perfect Soul Manifestation.
"Hehe, you can struggle all you want, but you will be mine!"
A cold voice rang out in space, making everyone shudder in fear.
The earth and skies shook, and dazzling golden light clashed with the forbidding darkness before suddenly exploding.
A powerful, turbulent wind swept through, shaking the entire Immortal Abode Island.
In the end, the golden light was no match for the darkness. It started to ebb.
The Golden Crow Thearch's physical body was enclosed in a layer of dark energy.
The Golden Crow Thearch's soul was not whole in the first place. As a result, he was far from full strength. In addition, he had earlier expended a lot of energy transcending his nine Golden Crow sons. He was completely unable to fend against the power of that Evil Spirit.
"You guys, make your move quickly. Shatter my True Spirit!"
The Golden Crow Thearch hollered as he struggled to circulate the energy in his body to suppress the Evil Spirit's power.
Unfortunately, it was not very effective.
"Senior Brother, do it. Help the Thearch to subdue that Evil Spirit!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura vibrated strongly. He could see that things were very grave now.
By the time the Golden Crow Thearch lost control to the Evil Spirit, it would all be too late.
If the Evil Spirit gained control over the Golden Crow Thearch and had access to his tremendous power, everyone in this tomb would die.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader moved decisively. Lightning flashed all over his body as his aura surged.
Magnificent lightning energy rose to form multiple streaks of Mixed Divine Lightning which exploded.
The terrifying power of the Mixed Divine Lightning shot toward the Golden Crow Thearch, destroying all the surrounding fabrics of space.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had given his all. He did not hold back at all.
This was the Golden Crow Thearch, after all. He had the full power of a Thearch and had once dominated the five regions.
If even such a powerful practitioner could be infiltrated, it was clear just how terrifying this Evil Spirit was.
If the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not give his all, his attack would be completely ineffective.
"Evil being, take that!
"Supreme Ocean Staff: Hitting A Little Chick!!!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shouted as he swung his golden staff vigorously.
His staff morphed into a massive golden pillar, swinging right toward the Golden Crow Thearch!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus were both astonishingly talented. Even though their cultivation levels were suppressed in this tomb, the power they just displayed was far beyond that of a normal Sage.
Their powers combined were enough to turn over the entire five regions.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort rang out.
The dark energy inside the Golden Crow Thearch suddenly erupted like a tremendous wave, engulfing the Golden Crow energy.
At the same time, the dark energy formed a massive black hand which smacked down at the Mixed Divine Lightning and giant golden staff.
Boom!
A thunderous boom resounded while dust and ashes flew!
An attack that was powerful enough to stun all Sages was obliterated by that black hand.
The dark energy continued its rampant surging across the entire area.
Suddenly, endless darkness covered the skies and space, making everyone feel like they had fallen into a deep abyss.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus were both forced backward, their heavenly aura struggling to fend off this energy.
"Damn, so fierce?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus flew back from the impact, finding it very difficult to defend himself.
"Hehe, just a couple of mere mortal ants. How dare you try to stop my arrival."
The Golden Crow Thearch appeared in the darkness. His aura was already completely changed.
The Thearch's original red-gold light had transformed into dark energy swirling around him. He was no longer as magnificent and dazzling as before. Instead, engulfed by that dark energy, he looked like a bloodthirsty, murderous demon god.
Compared to his current aura, the previous nine Grand Golden Crows were nothing.
Yeap, nothing at all.
"We are in deep trouble now."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stared at the Golden Crow Thearch, clutching his golden staff tightly.
At a time like this, even he could no longer smile.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader remained silent, but his lightning avatar surfaced.
Ten divine beasts roared as Mixed Divine Lightning streaked across the skies. He was once again displaying his full strength.
,000 years ago, when the outerworld Evil Spirits had invaded this world, countless grotto-heavens, blessed-lands, and living beings had been annihilated.
Even many of the sacred grounds had been struggling in that battle. They had to use up all their resources just to scrape through.
Now, this outerworld Evil Spirit had appeared again and had taken control of the Golden Crow Thearch.
If they didn't go all out to kill it, no one there would be able to make it out alive.
"Didn't expect this lousy little world to have such a handsome human. Only such a superior-class physical body is worthy of me. I will descend in this world with that body to welcome my race's great army."
The evil Golden Crow Thearch smiled malevolently as he turned his bloodshot eyes on Shen Tian.
It was clear that the Golden Crow Thearch's soul was not whole and was unable to maintain his full power.
The Evil Spirit fixed its eyes on Shen Tian's physical body. It wanted to possess it.
The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched slightly.
What the hell? Why is it that any Tom, Dick, and Harry want to take my body? Is it my fault that I am so handsome?
Never mind that the Golden Crow Thearch had wanted it. He was just mentioning it and didn't seem serious.
But now this Evil Spirit that came out of nowhere doesn't look like he is joking!
Dammit!
If Shen Tian broke through to the Nirvana realm this time, it would more or less be due to provocation.
As Shen Tian's thoughts ran wild, the evil Thearch had already reached out his hand to capture him.
"Tian'er, be careful."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura vibrated strongly as he waved one hand. A dense lightning glow emerged, and a longsword appeared in his hand as the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's aura erupted. A boundless and terrifying divine lightning glow surged.
At that moment, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was like the human form of Heavenly Punishment, about to make use of lightning tribulation to destroy this Evil Spirit.
Yes, it was the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra's forbidden and most high-level chapter—Decalamity!
They had no choice but to go all out now.
"How dare you target my Martial Nephew. I will smash your head in!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' aura surged as he activated his Three Pure Ones in One Breath to create two clones. He was all ready to go against the Thearch!
This was a Thearch. Even though his soul was not whole now, he was still powerful enough to instill a heavy sense of fear in anyone below the Thearch level.
"Just a bunch of ants. Yet you dare to go against me? You are just like a bunch of ants trying to shake a tree. I am indomitable in this world!"
The evil Golden Crow Thearch sneered as he raised his hands. Dark energy erupted.
Darkness gathered in the skies to form a colossal black demon hand. It swept toward those two men with tremendous power.
"Chain array, bind!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's cold voice rang out as the lightning surrounding his body split out into countless chain-like lightning streaks as if he wanted to bind the entire world.
Lightning filled the skies, forming an astonishing array formation, completely sealing off the entire space.
The black demon hand suddenly landed and collided with the lightning, resulting in countless sparks. The lightning vibrated, and the dark energy surged and ebbed.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's body shook, and his heavenly aura vibrated intensely as if he was under immense pressure.
"Ah! I will kill you!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus hollered as all three of him shot up into the air, charging straight at the evil Thearch with tremendous might and power.
Boom!
A loud boom shattered the air!
The three figures fell from the sky and landed onto the earth, creating a huge crater.
"Damn, this evil scum is too fierce!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' face and hair were streaked with dirt and dust. He had already given his best but was beaten right down.
Luckily, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's chain array was solid enough and was able to withstand the evil Thearch's attack, but just barely.
Otherwise, the two of them would have been defeated a long time ago.
"Stubborn fools. I want to see how many times you can withstand my attack!"
The evil Thearch sneered. He had complete disregard for those men. He attacked once again.
A terrifying Thearch aura surged toward them. Every single attack would make the chain array vibrate violently as if it would shatter anytime.
"Old man, if you don't make your move, we are going to die!" Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shouted as he fought back against the Thearch with Sage-level power. But it was clear that his power still paled in comparison to the Thearch!
"Didn't expect that I would have to step in in the end."
A long sigh sounded out as a purple light floated up from Shen Tian's body.
An elder clad in purple appeared. His image was faint and blurry, but his aura was very forceful.
The elder was none other than Ye Qingcang!
"Eh, who is this mighty practitioner?"
The evil Thearch's dark energy seemed to withdraw a little due to Ye Qingcang's appearance as if it was somewhat fearful of him.
"You are not worthy enough to know my identity." Ye Qingcang's tone was calm and very cool. "You are just the remnants of a soul. How dare you behave so arrogantly in front of me?"
"You have no idea what's good for you. I will annihilate you!"
The evil Thearch gave a cold snort as his dark energy surged once again.
The entire space seemed to coagulate and shrink as if drawing back in order to burst out in one massive explosion.
An earth-shattering power was unleashed upon Ye Qingcang.
The fabrics of space collapsed, and the array was disintegrated.
"Even if you used to possess tremendous power, you are now just the remnants of a soul. How dare you provoke me. I will destroy the rest of your soul."
The evil Thearch spoke malevolently, but he stiffened when a voice suddenly rang out.
"Yeah!
"Ah, so comfortable!
"Come, harder please!"
A relaxed voice drifted out, sounding rather pleased and satisfied.
There was even a hint of... ecstasy.
"What?"
The corners of the evil Thearch's mouth twitched as if he had just realized that something was not quite right.
The terrifying power of his dark energy did not destroy Ye Qingcang. Instead, it was like he had just given him a massage.
"Eh? Why have you stopped?
"I have been alone for so many years. This is a rare chance for me to relax my muscles.
"Such a wet blanket! In that case, I will use you to practice my moves!"
A beam of light shot out.
He appeared before the evil Thearch like a flash of lightning.
Ye Qingcang raised his hand as if going to give a palm strike.
A massive hand suddenly appeared in the sky. It was hundreds of feet wide and came down with an immense force.
Boom!
A startling boom shook the entire Golden Crow tomb.
The evil Thearch was smashed right onto the ground, creating a huge crater. Dust flew up everywhere.
"Uh... Ah, ah, ah!
"Damn you!"
The evil Thearch roared with rage. When had he ever had to endure such degradation in this low-class world?
Even the Golden Crow Thearch, who had ascended to the Celestial World 80,000 years ago, was like an ant before him, easily squashed with just one finger.
He had planted a seed in the Golden Crow Thearch's True Spirit.
He thought that after taking over the Golden Crow Thearch, he would be indomitable in the five regions and easily plunder the entire world.
He never expected that the moment he was reborn, he would encounter an old freak like this Ye Qingcang and be beaten up by him!
"Scoundrel!"
The evil Thearch's pupils were dark red and filled with a bloodthirsty light. He radiated with an endless murderous vibe.
At the same time, a dark mist swirled around him as his aura grew increasingly terrifying.
It was clear that the evil Thearch was going full strength now.
"Angry now? So what? I am still going to beat you up! You Evil Spirit infant!"
Ye Qingcang snorted coldly. He had no regard for this evil Thearch at all. He conjured a huge hammer.
"Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers—Blazing Sun Hammer!"
Ye Qingcang raised his massive hammer. He looked so formidable that the dark energy surrounding the evil Thearch shrank back.
"Star-Smashing Hammer!"
"Moon-Lifting Hammer!"
"Wild Wind Hammer!"
It was like Ye Qingcang had transformed into a blacksmith. Hammer after hammer, he struck with tremendous force upon the evil Thearch, who had no chance at all to counterattack.
On top of that, Ye Qingcang kept chanting as he hammered down on the evil Thearch.
"Despicable Evil Spirit infant. Why didn't you just stay home like a good boy? Why did you have to come out and make trouble?
"You are so naughty. Do your parents know about this?
"I will teach you a good lesson today. I will teach you how to behave properly and have consideration for others.
"How dare you target my god-grandson? I will hammer you to death!"
Boom!
The ground shook, and the mountains swayed!
The evil Thearch was defenseless under Ye Qingcang's merciless onslaught. He was sent flying across the air by the beating.
Even the thick black energy around the evil Thearch started to vibrate intensely as if about to dissipate any moment now.
"Done!"
Ye Qingcang patted his hands and relaxed.
In his view, this Evil Spirit was no match for him at all. There was nothing to fear.
At that moment, a spine-chilling aura suddenly rose up, as if a peerless evil god had awakened.
A thick black fog surged out like a massive tsunami.
The evil Thearch charged out of the crater, and a gargantuan demon avatar had formed behind him.
"Mmm?"
Ye Qingcang's eyes hardened. This Evil Spirit infant's aura had become stronger.
Looks like this fellow is better than I thought!
"Haha, so this is the remnant soul from the God of War Palace!
"Didn't expect you to have fled to the mortal world. And you are still in such a wretched state!
"When you were alive, your cultivation level must have been astonishing. Perhaps even comparable to mine.
"A pity that you are just the remnants of a soul now. And a homeless, wandering one at that.
"Hehe, I will destroy your soul today, even if I have to sacrifice myself!"
The evil Thearch roared malevolently. His aura surged fiercely like an evil god reborn.
A black demon fire rose from his body and surrounded him, making his aura grow even more terrifying.
Wave after wave of ferocious aura erupted from within the evil Thearch's body. The fabrics of space shook as the black demon flames appeared as if they were about to set the whole world on fire!
"You are burning your soul?
"This Evil Spirit infant wants to drag that Golden Crow chick down with him in a kamikaze attempt!"
Ye Qingcang's eyes hardened. He could feel that this Evil Spirit's cultivation level was not low at all.
What they were seeing before them now was just the seed of a soul—a fraction of his full power.
Even so, if this soul seed self-destructed together with the Golden Crow Thearch, it would be an earth-shattering force.
At the very least, everyone on this side of the world would be defenseless against it!
If Ye Qingcang had his full power, he would not fear this at all. He could easily destroy this Evil Spirit.
Unfortunately, he was just the remnant of a soul now. On top of that, he was just a copy of the original.
The original Ye Qingcang was now drinking tea in the God of War Pagoda. Handling this situation with a copy was rather challenging.
"Hehe, you want to protect this youngster, right?
"Today, I will drag this young man down to hell with me!
"You want your God of War Palace to rise again? Dream on!"
The evil Thearch hollered. He knew Ye Qingcang was very powerful, and he would not be able to stop him if he wanted to leave.
As a result, he decided to target Shen Tian!
His energy continued to accumulate, and the pitch-black demon flames exuded a hair-raising aura.
The proximity to the flames alone would be enough to incinerate a Sage.
Ye Qingcang felt very frustrated as he observed the fearsome Evil Spirit.
If he was alone, he could leave anytime he wanted. This fellow would never be able to stop him.
However, Shen Tian was standing just behind him. If he left, what would happen to his dear god-grandson?
"Never mind, for my god-grandson's sake, so what if I have to sacrifice this body?" Ye Qingcang shouted valiantly and stepped forward. "God of War Transformation!"
Ye Qingcang gave a low holler, and his body was immersed in a wondrous light. He charged into the demon flames.
Boom!
A loud boom echoed!
The boom was thunderous and earth-shaking.
The terrifying demon flames burst out and engulfed everything around it.
Ye Qingcang was caught in the midst of the explosion and had to endure a tremendous force. His divine aura vibrated violently.
"Oh no, I have gone too far."
Ye Qingcang flipped his beard. The power of this copy of him seemed unable to endure the explosion.
Boom!
With another boom, the evil Thearch's soul was already 99% burned. His power was already at maximum level. Sky and earth trembled before him!
"Dear children, if you don't help me out, we will all be doomed!"
The corners of Ye Qingcang's mouth twitched as his image slowly faded away.
The surging energy immediately charged toward Shen Tian.

Chapter 393: Tragic Lifeless King!
Even if the evil Thearch had already burned more than 90% of his soul, the last bit was still extremely terrifying.
At least, such a force was not something normal Sages would be able to block.
In an instant, black demonic fire engulfed the whole space as it headed toward Shen Tian like a torrential wave.
"Tian'er, be careful."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning formed chains in an orderly manner as they were interwoven densely, trying to stop the demonic flames.
"Evil Spirit, take that!" roared Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
Azure Lotus and his two clones dashed forward and smashed down their humongous staffs.
Boom!
The black demonic fire kept on surging and actually burnt the chains completely, injuring the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
Meanwhile, all three Azure Lotus were knocked back, and they spun a few rounds in the air before falling to the ground in a mess, creating a huge hole.
This outcome was to be expected. After all, the Evil Spirit burned its soul seed, and the Golden Crow Thearch's True Spirit to unleash this attack—its might was terrifying.
"This isn't good! Old Man Ye, it can't be that you really died, right!?
"Stop playing around, hurry and come out to help!
"It's not time to hoke. The bronze ring might not be useful!"
Shen Tian could clearly sense how frightening that ball of demonic flames in front of him was. The evil power even defeated Old Man Ye's clone and made it disappear.
Shen Tian would not be able to endure such an attack!
"Hehe, die! The remaining survivors of the God of War Pagoda should have died long ago."
The evil Thearch revealed a hideous smile as his aura suddenly erupted, making the whole ground shake.
In that instant, the tide suddenly turned again.
The bronze ring in Shen Tian's hands suddenly emitted radiant light. Then a sword shining with silver light appeared and pierced into the sky.
At that moment, the endless evil Spirit Qi dispersed.
That light shone upon the ground with an astonishing sword intent that even blew away the clouds in the sky and made all living beings tremble.
"W-what is this..."
The evil Thearch's body started trembling vigorously as he sensed an indomitable divine aura, which was appalling to him, invading his body.
He felt as if he could not resist at all.
As the bronze ring shone even brighter, a figure with unparalleled elegance and poise appeared in the sky.
The figure wore clothes as white as snow and was enshrouded by heavenly aura, emitting a mighty aura as she gazed down upon all living beings.
"How is it possible that... there would be such an existence in this lousy world!?"
The evil Thearch panicked as he was overtaken with terror.
In the instant that figure appeared, heaven and earth lost their color, and everything turned dim and dark.
Suddenly, the Great Empress' figure moved, and a peerless sword of light shot out of the bronze ring.
At that moment, heaven and earth were split, order collapsed into chaos, while the fabrics of space became distorted and turned into nothingness.
"No!"
The evil Thearch let out a scream as he crazily amassed his strength in an attempt to block it.
However, that sword seemed to surpass time as it slashed down toward the evil Thearch with supreme sword intent of destruction.
The moment the evil Thearch came into contact with that sword aura, his soul was directly torn apart and dispersed.
The evil Thearch actually seemed tiny in front of this sword intent and was instantly wiped out.
However, that slash did not stop—it was as if nothing could stop it!
It was like it did not exist in this space nor in the mortal world.
That was the reason there was no way to block that slash in the mortal world's five regions.
All countermeasures would be overcome by the slash easily and would be completely destroyed.
Clang!
A clear clanging sound reverberated throughout the tomb or even the Immortal Abode Island!
The tomb was directly split into two, smoke filled the whole place, and the laws turned chaotic.
That strike was terrifying!
A man wearing black evil-looking armor was rapidly charging toward the tomb from outside. He carried a hideous saber behind him, and his whole body was enveloped by surging demonic fire, emitting an evil and vicious aura.
That person was the Lifeless King!
Back in the Immeasurable Ancient State, the Lifeless King had originally planned to wipe out the powerful cultivators from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and Jade Lake Sacred Ground so that the Hurricane Lily King could absorb nourishment and become a killing weapon.
However, due to Shen Tian's interference, not only had the Hurricane Lily King been snatched, but the Lifeless King's past self had even been killed in that battle.
Meanwhile, the Seven Kill Sect of the Evil Spirit Sect had been completely annihilated.
That made the Lifeless King harbor endless killing intent toward Shen Tian, and he was even more eager to snatch back the Hurricane Lily King.
After finding Shen Tian's whereabouts, the Lifeless King's future self directly headed toward Immortal Abode Island without hesitation, wanting to kill Shen Tian.
"Shen Tian, on the same day next year, it'll be your death anniversary."
Lifeless King's eyes were filled with cruelty and anticipation as he spoke.
However, just as he was prepared to enter the tomb, an astonishing sword aura was shot out from within the tomb.
That sword aura was above all laws and transcended worldliness. It was also so astonishingly fast that no one would be able to react in time.
It was simply too fast!
Before the Lifeless King could even react, the sword aura had already destroyed his physical body.
Even the space in the surrounding was completely obliterated and returned to nothingness.
One had to know that the Lifeless King had finally reached the Golden Crow Thearch tomb after crossing millions upon millions of miles of territory to hunt down Shen Tian and barely avoiding the various sacred grounds' detection and interception attempts.
In the end, before he was even able to see Shen Tian, he was... killed by that strike.
The Lifeless King had died peacefully~
Back at Middle Ground, in the Evil Spirit Palace...
The Lifeless King's original body was seated cross-legged when his aura started fluctuating vigorously, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
WTF!?
What is going on!?
Why would there be such a terrifying strike in this world!? My future self was killed without being able to react at all!
The Lifeless King's aura fluctuated as terror filled his eyes. He was arrogant, but he would not think that he was invincible in the five regions.
However, even if there were powerful cultivators in the five regions who could win against him and kill him, it was impossible that he would just die before his future self could even react!
At the very least, he should be able to see who the enemy was clearly.
However, the Lifeless King had not seen clearly who had unleashed that sword aura.
The power of that sword aura made the Lifeless King doubt himself and also be depressed and resentful.
One had to know that the Lifeless King had cultivated three clones of himself and each clone had the strength of a Sage.
In the future, when all three copies merged as one, the Lifeless King would definitely be able to make great progress and reach the unimaginable supreme realm.
However, who would have expected that the Lifeless King would lose his past self and future self in such a short period?
"Damn it! There's actually such a thing in the Golden Crow Thearch tomb!
"It's all because of you, Shen Tian! I wouldn't have sent my future self to the Golden Crow Thearch tomb if it was not to hunt you down!
"Darn it! I'll definitely tear you apart to have my revenge!"
The Lifeless King's enraged roar that was filled with resentment echoed throughout the whole palace.
At Immortal Abode Island's outer region, heaven and earth shook.
"Just what happened?"
Everyone was astounded. What could cause the whole Immortal Abode Island to shake so intensely?
"There... it's where the tomb is..."
Someone discovered something wrong and looked toward the tomb.
Then a shocking sword aura soared into the sky. It dominated the heavens, split open the clouds, and tore through space!
In that instant, a terrifying aura permeated the whole Immortal Abode Island.
"How is this possible... Just what kind of fearsome power is this!?"
A certain old woman's voice trembled as if she had just seen something dreadful.
That power was something beyond what the various Sacred Leaders could unleash, and it would result in death if one came into contact with it!
"Is this Heavenly Punishment?"
The weaker cultivators could not help but collapse on the ground, trembling from terror.
The unmatched sharp Sword Dao of some powerful sword cultivators could not help but become unstable after sensing that sword intent.
Their Sword Dao, which they had spent their lives chasing after and refining, seemed to be counted as nothing in front of that sword intent.
Therefore, in that instant, the Sword Dao Will of countless sword cultivators broke down.
At the Golden Crow tomb...
The vast space was completely silent.
The heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus trembled vigorously. It was evident that this scene had shaken them.
They had never expected that the fearsome enemy, who had even defeated Old Man Ye's clone, would be slashed into pieces by that female figure.
What kind of existence was that Great Empress, and just how frightening would her original body be!?
"Just what did I see?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus seemed to be slightly dizzy; a woman of such a level was already beyond his common sense.
Although the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not speak, his fluctuating heavenly aura was proof that he was restless.
As expected of Tian'er, who has the potential to become an Immortal King!
Even an existence of such a caliber is willing to help him!
Looks like Divine Firmament is destined to rise up under Tian'er's lead!
Hehehehehe~
As that figure turned around slowly, her eyes that were fixed on Shen Tian seemed to surpass time—that gaze seemed to contain innumerable words.
Before Shen Tian could utter a word, that figure turned back into a ray of light and returned to the bronze ring.
"Tian'er, are you alright?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader immediately rushed to Shen Tian, but he unconsciously took a look at the bronze ring on Shen Tian's finger.
For that ring to be able to unleash an attack of that level made it evident that its value was immeasurable.
It was enough to prove that Shen Tian was an unprecedented Son of Providence with supreme providence to be able to obtain such a peerless treasure!
At the side, the Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus watched as the Sacred Leader headed toward Shen Tian.
He's quite fast! It was such a good chance to increase my favorability with Martial Nephew...
Damn it! He actually snatched the chance to show Martial Nephew my affection!
"Martial Nephew, are you alright!?"
Of course, the old Taoist priest would not give up on this opportunity, so he hurriedly headed toward Shen Tian.
"Thank you, Master and Martial Uncle, for protecting me. I'm fine." Shen Tian nodded.
"It's good that you're fine," said the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader calmly.
If Shen Tian was not present today, then it would most likely have been difficult for them to solve this predicament.
Unexpectedly, a drastic change occurred in the Golden Crow tomb again.
The surrounding space started to fluctuate, and huge turbulent spatial waves were formed as space collapsed and revealed a terrifying turbulent flow of nothingness.
"Oh no! This space is about to collapse!"
Everyone sensed the change—the whole Golden Crow tomb was shaking non-stop due to the battle's impact.
It was, in the end, a battle between top cultivators, so their battle prowess was simply unfathomable.
Meanwhile, it was already quite amazing for the tomb the Golden Crow Thearch had created before ascending to last this long.
However, that astonishing sword strike, which directly split the tomb into two, resulted in the originally unsteady space to start collapsing. The current situation was the most dangerous as once space collapsed, the turbulent spatial waves would surge.
Meanwhile, within the turbulent spatial waves, order would become chaotic, and laws would turn violent, so even Sages might not be able to survive for long.
The scariest thing was to lose one's way in turbulent spatial waves.
Once one lost their way in the void, they would be unable to escape and be repeatedly attacked by the endless violent and chaotic laws. This would result in the accelerated consumption of one's energy until they were sliced into pieces!
Therefore, even Sages would not dare to easily enter the turbulent spatial waves.
However, the space of the Golden Crow Thearch tomb was breaking apart, so turbulent spatial waves were surging in as if it was a huge bloody mouth about to devour the whole space.
"Hurry and leave!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura fluctuated vigorously as he appeared beside Shen Tian. He wanted to travel through space to leave the tomb.
"The space laws have already turned chaotic, so we can't travel through space!" shouted Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
He had tried already, but there was no reaction at all.
"F*ck, that old crow has been defeated, but we still can't go out?"
As Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus looked at the surging, turbulent spatial waves, his mouth twitched. "Martial Nephew, do you have any solution?"
His Martial Nephew was the Son of Providence after all!
In the desperate moment, Shen Tian was struck by an idea. "Master and Martial Uncle, don't worry. I have a plan!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's eyes lit up as he asked, "What plan?"
From his point of view, Shen Tian was filled with mystery, so he might really have a way to escape.
"Martial Uncle, did you forget that the Golden Crow Thearch has already given me the Immortal Abode Island Token that can control the whole island?"
Shen Tian smiled as he took out the Immortal Abode Island Token.
It was the token that the Golden Crow Thearch had created and could control Immortal Abode Island's array formation.
Since the Golden Crow Thearch had created the tomb, the Immortal Abode Island Token could naturally control it.
Shen Tian could totally use the Immortal Abode Island Token to teleport them outside.
"I nearly forgot that the Golden Crow Thearch had already given the whole Immortal Abode Island to you."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus used his hand to hit his thigh as he recalled that.
"Then I'll send Master and Martial Uncle out now."
Shen Tian nodded and activated the Immortal Abode Island Token, which Instantly shone with reddish-gold light.
An extremely tyrannical power gathered from space and directly created a void passageway.
"Master, Martial Uncle, let's go," said Shen Tian as the surrounding space started collapsing even faster.
Unpredictable dangers might occur if they stayed for even another one minute. Therefore, the three of them headed toward that void passageway without hesitation.
However, at that moment, the situation changed!
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed!
The space behind them, which was originally on the verge of collapse, suddenly exploded, and turbulent spatial waves instantly surged like torrential waves.
A huge spatial wave invaded and instantly devoured Shen Tian—he disappeared within the void!
"Martial Nephew!" roared Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus with rage burning in his eyes.
He had never expected that something like that would happen.
"Senior Brother, let's leave this place first."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura fluctuated agitatedly, but he still pulled Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and flew through that tunnel of golden light. That was because the turbulent spatial waves behind them were simply too fearsome. If they stayed any longer, they would most probably be devoured too.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus clenched his fist. He was reluctant to leave, but he had no choice but to retreat outside first.
They could only think of ways to save Shen Tian if they were alive.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them quickly left the tomb through that void passageway and appeared in the Immortal Abode Island's outer region.
Boom!
In the next second, the space completely collapsed, and the whole tomb turned into ruins.
"Martial Nephew, it's all my fault! How could he die at such a young age!?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus could not help but cry miserably once he got out of the tomb. He looked grief-stricken to the point he would render every listener with teary eyes.
"Alright, Senior Brother, there's no need to put on such an act as Tian'er can't hear you."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura swayed gently, but his voice was cold and emotionless.
"Hehe, Junior Brother, you found out."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' expression instantly changed, and he could not help but scratch his head.
He originally wanted to show his concern for Shen Tian in front of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, but he never expected that he would be exposed.
Looks like Junior Brother is still more "cunning"!
"Junior Brother, why are you not worried about Martial Nephew's safety at all? Tian'er is deeply trapped within the turbulent void. Aren't you anxious at all?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader replied calmly, "Don't worry. Tian'er is the Son of Providence, so it's impossible for him to run into dangers.
"There might even be great fortuitous opportunities waiting for him.
"I believe shortly after, Tian'er will bring back more surprises for us."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura swayed gently. He had absolute confidence in his disciple.
"That's right. Hee won't meet with a mishap easily."
The Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus seemed to have thought of something, and his mouth started to twitch.
Shen Tian would always be unscathed no matter how many times he faced danger in the past. Instead, he would always encounter fortuitous opportunities.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus could not help but exclaim, "He's really the Son of Providence!"
It was indeed aggravating for him to compare himself to Shen Tian!
"Return to the sacred ground first, then tell everyone to search for Tian'er! We need to show the sacred ground's attitude no matter what!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura calmed down as he gradually walked toward the numerous elders and groups of disciples.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was already used to it.

Chapter 394: Chaotic Void, Immortal Phoenix Queen!!
After traveling through space, the duo quickly met up with the other Divine Firmament elders and disciples.
Not only the Divine Firmament experts were present. The sacred leaders and core disciples from the other sacred grounds were also there.
They were originally training on the tomb's platforms when they had suddenly been teleported out.
It turned out that after the nine Golden Crow vengeful spirits' transcendence and the Golden Crow Thearch had fulfilled his long-cherished wish, he had sent all of the cultivators aside from Shen Tian and the others out of his tomb.
After all, from that moment onward, the tomb was considered as Shen Tian's personal possession.
Not long after they left, the tomb was split into two by the supreme sword aura and completely collapsed.
This made many sacred leaders frustrated and regretful, but at the same time, they were also secretly afraid.
If they had stayed inside, they would have died.
After all, in the chaotic space created by the tomb's collapse, even a Sage could not guarantee that they could protect themselves.
As for cultivators below the Tribulation Transcendence stage, there was almost no chance of survival!
"The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus are out!"
"However... Why isn't the Divine Firmament Saint here?"
Some people were bewildered and panicked when they didn't see Shen Tian.
"Master, where did Junior Brother go? Why isn't he here?"
Zhang Yunxi hurried forward, her beautiful face filled with worry.
After all, the might of that sword was too terrifying. It was very obvious that something earth-shattering had happened.
It wasn't just her. Princess Linglong, Kun Yu, and the other geniuses that were on good terms with Shen Tian walked up to ask about Shen Tian's whereabouts.
Everyone was asking about Shen Tian's situation.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's body shimmered with immortal light. He never expected that Shen Tian had unknowingly befriended so many close friends. These people were all top-tier geniuses from the various major powers. If they were grouped together, they would be an incomparably powerful force.
My disciple, Shen Tian, really has the bearing of an Immortal King. All the paragons of the world bow before him!
Hehehehehe~
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader body emitted heavenly aura fluctuations as he said indifferently, "Senior Brother, I have to inform our Grand Elder. I'll leave this place to you."
With that said, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader stepped into the void and vanished in front of everyone.
"Junior Brother... You... Bast*rd!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was stunned, but he quickly reacted.
This old schemer clearly wanted to leave the mess to him. The problem was that he did not want to take on this mess!
These people were all Shen Tian's close friends. If they knew something happened to Shen Tian, wouldn't they tear him apart?
Putting others aside, just dealing with Zhang Yunxi alone would be very difficult.
"I... I'll go too..."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus rolled his eyes and was about to leave.
However, how could Zhang Yunxi not know what Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was thinking?
Shen Tian's Master could leave, but his Martial Uncle definitely could not.
She took a step forward and stood in front of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. "Please tell me where Junior Brother is."
"Martial Niece, this... I..."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus scratched his head, not knowing where to begin.
"Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus (Martial Uncle Azure Lotus), please tell us the whereabouts of the Divine Firmament Saint (Senior Brother Saint)."
It wasn't just Zhang Yunxi. The prodigies who were on good terms with Shen Tian also stepped forward.
Upon seeing this, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus felt a headache coming on.
If it was only Zhang Yunxi, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus could still find a way to muddle through.
However, with so many elites questioning him, he could not hold on!
"Alright, Senior Brother. I've already explained everything to the elders."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's figure appeared once again as golden light enveloped his body.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was overjoyed. "Junior Brother, you're the best! You actually came to help me!"
Huh?
But... It shouldn't be!
This mess was obviously caused by you, old fellow.
What is the meaning of this!?
"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice was indifferent as he explained everything clearly.
Of course, as for the shocking sword strike that the peerless Great Empress had released, it was purposefully left out. This was a trump card that belonged solely to Shen Tian. Furthermore, it was very important, and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader would not expose it.
"What!? There's actually an Evil Spirit from the outerworld that can possess a Thearch's True Spirit?"
After listening to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's explanation, everyone's bodies trembled, and their eyes widened in shock. It was no wonder that the tomb had collapsed.
The present sacred leaders were all pillars of the various sacred grounds. How could they not know of the existence of the Evil Spirits from the outerworld?
However, they had never heard of any Evil Spirit that could even possess a Thearch.
After all, a Thearch was the strongest existence in the five regions. If an Evil Spirit could even invade and possess a Thearch, how could others resist it?
Could it be that the great calamity from 10,000 years ago was about to repeat itself? Or perhaps a calamity that was even more terrifying was approaching?
Following that, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader spoke again. "Everyone, please be at ease. The Golden Crow Thearch only had a wisp of his soul remnant left. A moment of carelessness will result in an accident.
"The Evil Spirits in the outerworld are not so powerful that even the Thearchs can't stop them. As long as we work together, the Evil Spirits will definitely be wiped out."
With that said, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at the young elites and said calmly, "Little friends, don't worry.
"Tian'er is the Saint of our sacred ground. I have already asked all the elders above the Soul Formation stage to move out. We will bring Tian'er back.
"Of course, as long as one is a Divine Firmament disciple, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will not give up on anyone."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's body suffused heavenly aura as he remained indifferent and firm.
No matter what, this attitude had to be expressed!
Indeed, upon hearing the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's words, the crowd boiled over.
"The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is indeed concerned about his juniors. The moment he came out, he immediately notified everyone to search for Shen Tian."
"Boohoo! The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is too good! Not only is there Saint Shen Tian, who sacrificed himself for others, but even the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is so righteous."
"I'm crying. No matter what, I must let the younger generation of my clan enter the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground."
"Me too. With such a Sacred Leader and Saint, what more can I ask for!"
"Same for me!"
"Same for me!"
The mouths of the other sacred leaders twitched when they heard this.
How could they not know what the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was trying to do?
As the Saint of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Shen Tian was the most blessed child in history.
For such a peerless genius, they would risk their lives to save Shen Tian, much less the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader himself.
As for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, he was clearly using this opportunity to act cool and attract countless fans.
Sensing the resentful gazes of the disciples behind them, the sacred leaders felt goosebumps all over their backs, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
The elites who were on good terms with Shen Tian were shocked when they heard this.
"The outerworld's Evil Spirits are of great importance. Linglong will send a voice transmission to my father to inform him of this matter.
"Of course, in order to protect the five regions, we will definitely not sit back and watch Saint Shen Tian fall and be trapped in the chaotic space. I will do my best to seek my father's help to find the Divine Firmament Saint."
Shi Linglong's words caused the surrounding people to tremble.
What level of existence was Shi Linglong? She was the princess of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty and Huang Shi's treasured pearl.
Since she had spoken, it meant that she had made her decision.
"Princess Linglong is too considerate."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded slightly.
"Senior, it's our duty to search for Saint Shen Tian."
Numerous paragons spoke out and started contacting their elders.
The Eastern Wilderness was shaken.
One by one, the old monsters in the Tribulation Transcendence stage could no longer endure the coaxing and pestering of their juniors and fled into the chaotic void.
Shen Tian was unaware of all this.
In the chaotic space, the endless laws of chaos intersected.
This was a dangerous place. Only those who were at the Tribulation Transcendence stage and above could cross the void and barely step in.
Even if a Sage were to fall into this place, they would be buried here without a full corpse if they did not leave as soon as possible.
At that moment, Shen Tian's figure slowly appeared.
"Am I being swallowed?"
The corners of Shen Tian's mouth couldn't help but twitch as he looked at the chaotic and violent space around him.
"Who would have thought that after my luck plummeted, unlucky things would happen one after another?"
Yes, Shen Tian could have left the tomb without a second thought.
However, no one had expected that the spatial turbulence wave would suddenly appear beside him.
Before Shen Tian could even react, he had been pulled in.
Whistling sounds of 'wind' rang out. The interweaving spatial turbulence gave off an aura that caused one's hair to stand on end.
The power of the laws within the turbulent void was violent to the extreme. It was like a bone-piercing blade that had a biting cold might that could easily tear apart a Heavenly Venerable's body.
Even Sages wouldn't be able to withstand the void turbulence for too long.
At that moment, the sky full of laws gathered and charged toward Shen Tian.
Clang, clang, clang!
Golden spears clashed, sparks flying everywhere.
The violent power of laws cut into Shen Tian's body like a sharp blade, causing sparks to shoot out.
Hah, it's a good thing that my physical body is strong. Otherwise, I would have really gone to meet Yama...
Shen Tian heaved a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, his body had reached the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage and was indestructible. He could ignore the spatial turbulence.
If it was any other Nirvana practitioner, their body would have collapsed long ago and perished here.
"But how should I get out?"
Looking at the chaotic space around him, Shen Tian didn't know where to start.
The spatial turbulence was different from other places. If one did not find the correct spatial node, it would be very difficult to break out from there.
"Forget it. Let nature take its course. I'll take it one step at a time."
Rather than having no goals, it would be better to follow the flow of the spatial turbulence.
Even if he worked hard, there would be no results. However, if he didn't work hard... Life would be much easier!
The main reason was that the laws here couldn't threaten Shen Tian at all.
Putting aside his body that had reached the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage, Shen Tian still had the Hurricane Lily King in his body.
The Hurricane Lily King's close affinity with the void could turn Shen Tian's body from corporeal to incorporeal, allowing him to ignore the invasion of the void laws.
At the same time, Shen Tian also used the Kun Peng arts and relied on the power of the Void Kun to travel unhindered.
Thus, Shen Tian felt as though he was swimming through the sea in the void.
If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely be stupefied.
Since ancient times, since when had a Nirvana practitioner dared to play like this in the lifeless void?
This was the spatial void, a place that even the Sages feared!
The violent power of laws present was enough to tear a person apart, not to mention the hidden dangers.
If one was careless, they might be exiled into the boundless void and be annihilated.
Rumble!
At that moment, an incomparably surging undercurrent surged over like a tempestuous storm.
"I can make use of this power to search for the void barrier, and perhaps I can find a way out of here."
Shen Tian was overjoyed. Due to his many trump cards, he didn't fear the laws here.
That spatial turbulence, which was enough to terrify a Sage, could actually become his ride.
Thus, Shen Tian didn't retreat and took the initiative to face it. The power of this undercurrent quickly fled into the distance.
Sure enough, the spatial turbulence's push increased Shen Tian's speed exponentially, far surpassing what it was before.
However, as his speed increased, Shen Tian also felt that something was amiss.
He felt... just a little dizzy.
"Why are there still mental attacks in this spatial turbulence?
"Oh! This feeling...
"I feel like puking...
"I'm carsick..."
The dizzy Shen Tian drifted further and further away with the spatial turbulence.
On the other side...
In the endless void, a world-shaking tribulation thunder appeared.
The lightning radiance trembled, sweeping through 1,500km as if it wanted to destroy heaven and earth and turn it back into primal chaos.
Beneath this tribulation lightning, a figure stood towering in the void. Behind that figure was the image of a humongous Phoenix. Fiery flames overflowed into the primal chaos.
Obviously, it was a top expert undergoing tribulation.
If the top experts of the five regions were here, they would definitely recognize this divine might.
The one undergoing tribulation was Southern Wilderness' number one powerhouse, the Phoenix Maiden of the Undying Phoenix race—the Immortal Phoenix Queen!
She was a proud daughter of heaven from Southern Wilderness. Ten thousand years ago, she had fought her way out of the "Battle in the Sky". She was a sworn enemy of the Black Dragon race's princess, Ao Bing!
The difference between the two was that Ao Bing had met with an accident 10,000 years ago and died.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Phoenix Queen had made rapid progress in the past 10,000 years and had long reached a realm that no supreme expert in the five regions dared to underestimate.
Even though the lightning tribulation was striking down on her, the Immortal Phoenix Queen still remained calm and allowed the lightning tribulation to baptize her.
Chi!
At this moment, the situation changed!
A silver-white sword beam shot out, piercing through the endless void.
Everywhere it passed, the spatial fragments shattered along with it and transformed into nothingness.
"Mmm?"
Before the Immortal Phoenix Empress could react, she saw the sword light piercing through and slicing the tribulation lightning in the sky into nothingness.
Immediately afterward, a wisp of the sword beam swept toward the Immortal Phoenix Queen.
Evade it?
She was too close, and there was no time for her to dodge!
Fortunately, the sword beam was not aimed at the Immortal Phoenix Queen. It was just a remnant shockwave.
Even so, the Immortal Phoenix Queen still spat out a mouthful of blood as her aura weakened.
Blazing flames spewed out of the Immortal Phoenix Queen's body, enveloping her in a terrifying aura.
Her beautiful face revealed a trace of seriousness. At this time, she had just crossed the tribulation and reached a critical period. Her cultivation, order, and strength within her body were all in an extremely delicate balance.
And this balance was completely destroyed by that sword beam.
She felt that the violent power in her body could no longer be suppressed.
"Suppress!" the Immortal Phoenix Queen said coldly. She used all her strength to suppress the violent flames in her body.
Unfortunately, the effect was not too obvious.
Chi!
A fiery light erupted as the Nan Ming Li Fire completely erupted, and torrential flames engulfed the Immortal Phoenix Queen.
Roar!
Soon after, a Phoenix cry rang out, and the enormous Phoenix divine image appeared in the boundless void.
Another divine flame surged out of the Immortal Phoenix Queen's body. It was majestic and powerful, suppressing the Nan Ming Li Fire.
"Suppress!"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen let out a soft cry and absorbed the two flames into her body before the terrifying phenomenon gradually dissipated.
However, at that moment, her pupils had become increasingly demonic, as if two different flames were burning within them.
This was clearly a sign of Qi Deviation!
Not far away, a stream of light was rapidly approaching.
It was the Thearch artifact the Golden Crow Thearch had bestowed to Shen Tian, the Divine Sun Cauldron.
Due to the spatial turbulence, Shen Tian had been feeling his head buzzing and dizzy.
In the end, he could only take out the Divine Sun Cauldron and sit inside it to reduce the dizziness.
However, Shen Tian didn't know where this spatial turbulence had led him to.
He could only go with the flow!

Chapter 395: I'd Rather Die Than Submit!
In the turbulent void, dazzling flames blossomed like flowers.
The Immortal Phoenix Queen's eyes were tightly shut as she sat in the air with a majestic aura. Two terrifying flames interweaved and clashed within her body, stirring up waves that spread outward.
Even though the Immortal Phoenix Queen was circulating her energy with all her might, the violent Nan Ming Li Fire was still restless as if it wanted to burn her to a cinder.
This was mainly because the Immortal Phoenix Queen's Nan Ming Li Fire was simply too powerful.
Nan Ming Li Fire was a flame ranked tenth on the Exceptional Fire List. It originally shouldn't have such terrifying power.
However, after 10,000 years of refinement, the Immortal Phoenix Queen's Nan Ming Li Fire's power had become extremely terrifying. It was not inferior to the flame ranked at the top of the Exceptional Fire List.
Now that the Nan Ming Li Fire had gone berserk, even an expert like the Immortal Phoenix Queen would have to endure the pain of being burned by flames.
Fortunately, there was another type of flame in the Immortal Phoenix Queen's body that could contend against it.
This flame was called the Indestructible Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame.
The Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame was ranked fourth on the Exceptional Fire List and was the Immortal Phoenix race's inheritance flame.
This type of flame contained extremely powerful vitality, and it could continuously provide the power to control the power of rebirth.
With this flame, one's recovery ability could be said to be extremely powerful.
Even if one suffered grievous injuries and was on the brink of death, they could make use of this fire to be reborn.
At present, the Immortal Phoenix Queen was relying on the Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame to fight against the Nan Ming Li Fire.
After all, the sword beam previously was just too terrifying. It could even shatter the heavenly tribulation. Just a wisp of the sword beam that dispersed from it was enough to heavily injure the Immortal Phoenix Queen.
"The two flames in my body are now in a conflict. If I am unable to strike a balance between them today, it is likely that I will be in trouble."
The Immortal Phoenix Queen's tone was grave. The power of the extraordinary items was extremely powerful.
Since ancient times, there were rarely people who had more than two types of extraordinary items within their bodies. Normally, those who dared to attempt to take in more than one would be torn to pieces by the conflict between the extraordinary items.
The Immortal Phoenix Queen had two exceptional fires in her body. She was naturally incomparably powerful and had a very high penetrating attack power.
But now that she was heavily injured, these two great exceptional fires would instead become incomparably troublesome in the future. A single mistake might even destroy her Dao Foundation.
At this time, energy turbulence could be felt in the void.
"Mmm?"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen sensed it immediately. She turned around and saw a beam of divine light flying toward her at breakneck speed.
"This is... the Golden Crow Thearch's Divine Sun Cauldron?"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen's eyes lit up. She naturally knew of the Golden Crow Thearch.
The Golden Crow Thearch was a Demon Thearch, to begin with. After ascending to the Celestial World 80,000 years ago, there had been no news of him.
And ever since news of the Immortal Abode Island's appearance spread, the Immortal Phoenix Queen had rushed over immediately to investigate.
However, there was an array set up by the Golden Crow Thearch outside the Immortal Abode Island that blocked her from entering.
Coincidentally, the Immortal Phoenix Queen had felt that her next heavenly tribulation was about to descend.
Thus, she had simply dived and entered North Sea's void. She had planned to use the Spirit Ores in the array left behind by the Golden Crow Thearch to aid her in transcending her tribulation.
However, she never imagined that a sudden and shocking sword strike would actually heavily injure her.
Now that she saw the Golden Crow Thearch's Divine Sun Cauldron, the Immortal Phoenix Queen was delighted.
"The Golden Crow Thearch wields the True Sun Fire, and the Divine Sun Cauldron is his Thearch artifact. Perhaps there will be remnants of the True Sun Fire in it.
"If I refine the True Sun Fire, I will be able to balance the exceptional fires in my body and resolve the current crisis. I might even be able to advance further."
The Immortal Phoenix Queen's current situation was very dangerous. If she wanted to completely resolve the trouble she faced, she needed to obtain another exceptional fire to form a tripartite balance.
After that, she would have to rely on the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra to recover.
However, this condition was extremely harsh. After all, how could there be an exceptional fire appearing in this void?
Now that the Divine Sun Cauldron had appeared, the Immortal Phoenix Queen saw a ray of hope. If she could refine the True Sun Fire, she had a high chance of resolving the crisis she was facing.
Perhaps she could even borrow the True Sun Fire's power to break through her shackles and advance her cultivation further.
As a result, the Immortal Phoenix Queen did not hesitate at all. She directly reached out her slender jade-like hands and grabbed toward the Divine Sun Cauldron, wanting to draw it over.
Clang!
The cauldron trembled.
Shen Tian, who was inside the Divine Sun Cauldron, was instantly jolted awake.
What is this?
I'm carsick. I've set it on autopilot for a while, and now I've been hit?
The key was that he was in the void!
Are there any other drivers in the void?
Could I have crashed into the void barrier?
Shen Tian was delighted when he thought of this.
If it was really the void barrier, then it meant that he could finally leave this forsaken place!
Shen Tian rushed out of the Divine Sun Cauldron and confidently prepared to shatter the void barrier and escape from the void.
However, the moment he came out, he realized that something was amiss.
A figure appeared before him.
She was a woman in a fiery red-feathered dress and looked gorgeous like fire.
Her peerlessly beautiful face seemed to have been carved out of Spirit Jade. Her skin was smooth like ice, and her bones were beautiful like jade. Her temperament was cold and aloof, not inferior to any woman Shen Tian had ever seen.
Or rather, this noble, cold, and exquisite aura was enough to stun the entire five regions.
At the same time, Shen Tian could also sense an incomparably terrifying aura contained within that figure.
It was comparable to his Master!
Seriously? I encountered such a terrifying existence in the boundless void?
"Hehe, I didn't expect that there would actually be such a handsome human in this Divine Sun Cauldron."
The Immortal Phoenix Queen examined Shen Tian with interest and chuckled.
Shen Tian's appearance transcended that of the mortal world, and he was like an immortal from the Celestial World. He was more handsome than all the humans she had seen in the past 10,000 years.
The Immortal Phoenix Queen was Southern Border's ruler, a supreme demon expert, but above all that, she was a woman who was obsessed with one's looks!
Upon seeing that he was being targeted, Shen Tian's heart tightened. "Er... Senior, this junior has accidentally barged into you. Please forgive me."
However, Shen Tian realized that being handsome had its benefits.
At least, he wouldn't be slapped to death easily by someone else.
"You actually dare to wander about in the void with your Nirvana cultivation? You're really courageous, kid!
"You are even able to control the Golden Crow Thearch's Divine Sun Cauldron. Who exactly are you?"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen was also curious. Even Sages didn't dare to stay in the turbulent void for long, let alone Heavenly Venerables and Supermacies.
However, Shen Tian was still alive and well with his Nirvana cultivation.
Even the Golden Crow Thearch's Divine Sun Cauldron had fallen into his hands.
This made the Immortal Phoenix Queen curious. What kind of person could possess such talent?
"Senior, this junior is a disciple of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Shen Tian."
Shen Tian responded, but his thoughts were running wild.
Now that the situation had become bad, he had to think of a way to escape. After all, this existence was too terrifying. Being with her made him feel very insecure.
"Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?
"Oh? Are you the legendary Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian?"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen spoke with slight surprise. She had heard some news about Shen Tian from a group of juniors that had caused a stir in Southern Border.
After all, the news was brought back by a peak prodigy of the Five-Colored Peacock race, which made many of the prodigies of the demon race indignant. They wanted to go out and have a fight with Shen Tian.
However, how could an existence like the Immortal Phoenix Queen care about such trivial matters?
She hadn't expected to see Shen Tian in the void, so this made her even more interested in him. She wanted to see what was so special about this kid.
"Senior must be joking. That's just an exaggerated false reputation."
Shen Tian knew that he couldn't pretend in front of such an expert.
However, the Immortal Phoenix Queen's eyes narrowed.
"Hm, why do I sense Old Woman Ao Bing's aura on you? I didn't expect that old woman to still be alive. On top of that, she has even formed a contract with a human.
"But it's still understandable. This female Dragon has a lustful nature and likes to find handsome guys.
"Hehe, she is really shameless. An old Dragon like her still has the face to be together with a young boy like you."
The Immortal Phoenix Queen's tone was slightly mocking. She was clearly not on good terms with Ao Bing.
Shen Tian's hair stood on end as he instantly guessed that figure's identity. She was someone who didn't get along with Ao Bing, and her strength was so formidable as well!
Other than Southern Border's ruler—the Immortal Phoenix Queen—who else could it be?
"Senior Phoenix Queen, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first."
Shen Tian's hair stood on end. This was a peerless expert and Ao Bing's archenemy, yet he had actually encountered her.
Now that the Immortal Phoenix Queen knew of his relationship with Ao Bing, how could she let him off so easily?
Thus, Shen Tian felt that it was best for him to leave as fast as he could!
With that said, Shen Tian circulated the Kun Peng arts, wanting to leave this place.
"Stop right there. I won't eat you."
A tyrannical pressure burst forth from the Immortal Phoenix Queen's body, causing Shen Tian's body to stiffen.
Shen Tian's heart sank upon hearing the Immortal Phoenix Queen's words.
Oh no, oh no!
I won't be able to keep my life!
Surprisingly, Shen Tian sensed that the Immortal Phoenix Queen didn't seem to be hostile.
"Senior Immortal Phoenix Queen, how can I help? I'll do my best," said Shen Tian.
"Am I that old? Call me Sister!"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen spoke indifferently as if she cared a lot about the term 'Senior'.
Shen Tian, "..."
Why did women at her age like to be called sister?
"Sister Phoenix Queen, I noticed that the aura within your body seems to be slightly chaotic. I have some Nirvana Holy Liquid and Triple Light Divine Water here, and they might be of some use to you."
Shen Tian could also sense the violent aura within the Immortal Phoenix Queen's body. The aura seemed to even want to overturn the heavens.
At the same time, Shen Tian was puzzled. Just what could heavily injure a peak existence like the Immortal Phoenix Queen?
He could not understand!
Given the current situation, Shen Tian still had to think of a way to stabilize this woman.
What if this woman, who is in a bad mood because of her injuries, kills me out of the blue?
In any case, he had plenty of Nirvana Holy Liquid and Triple Light Divine Water with him. He wouldn't feel a pinch even if he gave some away.
"Kid, you're really lucky to even obtain the Nirvana Holy Liquid and Triple Light Divine Water, but those things are useless to me."
"I want... the True Sun Fire in your body."
The Immortal Phoenix Queen coldly spoke, her gaze fixed on Shen Tian as a murderous aura spread out.
She was still worried about not being able to resolve the abnormal flame rebellion in her body, yet Shen Tian had actually delivered himself to her.
If she extracted the True Sun Fire from his body, the Immortal Phoenix Queen would definitely be able to suppress the exceptional fires in her body.
Shen Tian broke out in cold sweat.
The True Sun Fire was just a fire seed that was smelted into his body and could not be taken out so easily.
If the Immortal Phoenix Queen wanted the True Sun Fire, she could only forcefully extract it.
Doesn't that mean that I am doomed?
No, I must think of a way to leave!
If there is no other way, I will use the bronze ring again!
He wondered if the Empress in the bronze ring would help him again.
Damn it! I am really so unlucky!
Shen Tian expressed his melancholy.
At that moment, a slender hand caressed Shen Tian's face. "Moreover, you're Ao Bing's man, so I naturally can't let you off easily."
The Immortal Phoenix Queen chuckled.
The Immortal Phoenix Queen was the archenemy of the Black Dragon Island's Dragon Lady, Ao Bing.
Neither of them was willing to admit defeat, and they were extremely competitive. Thus, the Immortal Phoenix Queen wanted to snatch Shen Tian, who had signed the Dragon God contract with Ao Bing.
Of course, Shen Tian's stunning appearance was also an important reason.
After seeing this face, the Immortal Phoenix Queen could not bear to kill him and extract the True Sun Fire from his body.
Such a peerlessly handsome man should be kept by her side.
"Boy, This Highness wants to sign a Phoenix God contract with you and let you become a human of the Immortal Phoenix race. I wonder if you agree?"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen's indifferent voice resounded as if she didn't give anyone the chance to refuse.
Indeed, one probably didn't know how to write the word death if they really dared to reject the invitation of a top powerhouse!
Shen Tian knew this very well.
Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to lower his head.
Moreover, forming a contract with the Immortal Phoenix Queen and becoming a human of the Immortal Phoenix race was not something shameful.
Perhaps he would even gain another bigshot who could protect him in the future.
Just thinking about it made him feel great!
Shen Tian spoke. "This junior is willing!"
Knowing that he could not resist, he could only accept it silently.
"Alright, then let's sign the contract."
The Immortal Phoenix Queen was very decisive. She immediately set up a contract array in the void.
The Immortal Phoenix Queen said calmly, "Inject your blood into it, and you can sign the contract with me."
Shen Tian nodded. He was very familiar with this process, but he had never formed a contract with an existence on the level of the Immortal Phoenix Queen.
Even when he had formed a contract with Ao Bing, she had been heavily injured, and her strength had fallen to rock bottom.
But for some reason, Shen Tian was a little excited.
Soon, the Phoenix God contract was completed.
At the same time, Shen Tian felt a blazing energy entering his body. It was the power of the Immortal Phoenix race's Phoenix God.
Previously, Shen Tian had also obtained the Dragon God's power precisely because of the Dragon God contract with Ao Bing.
It was the same right now. If he formed a contract with the Immortal Phoenix Queen, he would naturally be able to obtain a portion of the power of the Phoenix, and he could even cultivate the Immortal Phoenix race's supreme inheritance, the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra.
Thus, Shen Tian was delighted.
Not only had he gotten out of danger, but he had also obtained the power of the Phoenix God during this trip.
After forming the Phoenix God contract, the Immortal Phoenix Queen wouldn't attack him, right?
Shen Tian heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Good. Then things will be settled much more easily.
"Brat, am I going to use the True Sun Fire in your body to suppress the exceptional fires in my body."
At that moment, the Immortal Phoenix Queen's voice sounded again.
Shen Tian's heart trembled.
What's going on?
Didn't we already form a contract?
Why are you still attacking me?
Seemingly seeing through Shen Tian's doubts, the Immortal Phoenix Queen indifferently said, "Don't worry, I'm not asking for your life. I was undergoing my tribulation here earlier, but a sudden sword aura injured me and caused me to lose control of the exceptional fires in my body.
"I want to use the True Sun Fire to cultivate."
Shen Tian's heart sank.
Could the sword aura that had injured the Immortal Phoenix Queen be the same the peerless Great Empress in the bronze ring had executed?
Shen Tian became increasingly certain. Only the peerless Great Empress could injure a peak expert like the Immortal Phoenix Queen.
I definitely can't let the Immortal Phoenix Queen know about this. Otherwise, she will definitely tear me apart.
Thus, Shen Tian felt a little guilty and said, "Of course there's no problem. What does Sister Phoenix Queen want this junior to do? This junior will definitely cooperate fully."
For some reason, a blush appeared on the Immortal Phoenix Queen's beautiful face.
Although she quickly concealed it, Shen Tian still caught it.
At that moment, Shen Tian suddenly realized that something was amiss with the Immortal Phoenix Queen.
Shen Tian raised his head slightly and saw two flames interweaving in the Immortal Phoenix Queen's eyes. It was obvious that she had suffered Qi Deviation.
Instantly, an uneasy feeling rose in Shen Tian's heart.
The Immortal Phoenix Queen spoke with a red face. "It must be the work of fate for you to appear here right after I've suffered Qi Deviation."
Now that she had signed a contract with Shen Tian, she naturally couldn't kill him to take the exceptional fire in his body.
However, the Immortal Phoenix Queen knew that there was another way to suppress the exceptional fires in her body.
That was because the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra had recorded a secret dual cultivation technique. If one were to dual cultivate with the person who signed the Phoenix God contract, it would be extremely beneficial to both parties. It was even more useful than directly refining the True Sun Fire.
Therefore, the Immortal Phoenix Queen planned to use this method to suppress the exceptional fires in her body.
"Forget it. Although your cultivation is shallow, your handsome looks are barely worthy of me. Today, you little pervert have lucked out!"
As the Immortal Phoenix Queen spoke, the fiery light in her eyes became more and more intense. It seemed that the Immortal Phoenix Queen was on the verge of going berserk, causing her soul to be in turmoil and making her make this decision.
However, the Immortal Phoenix Queen herself did not know this.
She only thought in her heart, I only want to recover from my injuries. It's definitely not because this kid is handsome. Definitely not!
Shen Tian froze.
Shen Tian was dumbstruck.
What did the Immortal Phoenix Queen mean?
What did she mean by letting me, this little pervert, luck out?
What did I do?
Shen Tian soon understood what she had meant as the Immortal Phoenix Queen transmitted the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra's secret dual cultivation technique to him.
Shen Tian shuddered.
Damn! This woman is coveting my body!
Shen Tian's lips twitched.
How can this be condoned?
'I have always been clean and honest. To this day, I am still a pure Yang body!
You want to taint my body?
Impossible!
'I'd rather die than submit!'
"Sister Phoenix Queen, this is my first time!"
Alright, after sensing the terrifying aura emitted by the Immortal Phoenix, Shen Tian felt powerless to rebel.
As the saying went, "A man can bow and submit."
This was definitely not because he was afraid of death!
Definitely not!
"So what if it's your first time? Do I have to give you an award? Besides, this is also my first time. It's not like you are suffering a loss."
The Immortal Phoenix Queen's face turned slightly red as she spoke to this point. She waved her hand and pulled Shen Tian to her side. Then blazing divine flames soared into the sky and formed a Dao field of flames.
For a moment, the endless spring sunshine was enveloped by the dazzling flames, leaving only a faint enchanting sound echoing in the void.

Chapter 396: Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame, Black Sky Sword
Half a month later...
The space.
A large, terrifying hand tore a hole in the space above a nameless island in North Sea, causing violent tremors.
A figure suddenly appeared and fell down as if he had been kicked out.
That figure was Shen Tian.
After half a month, he had finally managed to escape the void turbulence.
"Damn, so violent!
"You weren't like that in bed earlier."
Shen Tian quickly steadied himself but continued grumbling.
A voice suddenly rang out. Her tone was mild, but she seemed to be breathing heavily.
"Scoundrel. I did that for the sole purpose of healing my injuries. You better keep mum about this matter. I will kill you if you dare to spread α word about this!"
Shen Tian did not care about the threat. Instead, he stroked his chin curiously. "What if you get pregnant?"
The void vibrated violently.
Half the sky was tinged red as if a blazing flame was about to erupt and incinerate everything.
In the end, it was suppressed, and calm descended again.
"That won't happen. I will use my arts to force out the thing you left inside me."
Thereafter, the rip in the fabrics of space was mended, and everything was at peace again.
The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. "You can actually force that thing out? Impressive! Really impressive!"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen trembled inside the void turbulence.
She sighed. "Didn't expect to have shown this embarrassing side of myself to that kid during my Qi Deviation.
"Even more shameful is the fact that I could not hold myself against that kid. So embarrassing...
"He's just a human. How is his physical body so strong? Too much!"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen didn't expect to have engaged in such a ridiculous act—all because she had suffered a Qi Deviation, and her soul had been in disarray.
By the time she had returned to her senses, it was all too late.
Her precious first time was gone, just like that.
However, this kid was indeed very handsome. His looks were worthy of her.
More importantly, that thing...
The Immortal Phoenix Queen blushed as she muttered to herself, "No, no, I must clean things up. I cannot face that kid again with such an image. Otherwise, that kid will be too arrogant.
"Scoundrel, I must behave cold and aloof next time we meet. To save my reputation!"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen gnashed her teeth, but she suddenly thought of something and smiled smugly.
"Ao Bing, you still lost to me. So what if you signed a contract with him first? I still took this man's first time!"
The Immortal Phoenix Queen gazed across the void and flew gracefully toward Southern Border.
Shen Tian landed on the nameless island. He was still muttering to himself, feeling she had taken advantage of him.
"What the hell!?
"Kicking me aside right after the deed. I am so tired that my legs feel like jelly. And she still wants to use her arts to force it out?"
His face was somewhat pallid, and he was swaying a little as he walked.
He took a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring and drank it all. His color looked better after that.
Over the past half a month, Shen Tian had been carrying out high-level and intense dual cultivation with the Immortal Phoenix Queen.
Half a month!
Half a month of non-stop action!
Even a Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage practitioner would have trouble walking after that!
"I have really been taken advantage of.
"I wonder how many treasures were left behind in the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb.
"More importantly, I lost my precious virgin status. I slept with that female demon for half a month, and she didn't even pay me $100."
Indeed, nothing good would come out of a breakthrough while cultivating the Tinder Sutra.
Sigh...
Nevertheless, Shen Tian did not leave completely empty-handed.
Over the past half a month, the high-intensity training enhanced the divine phoenix power inside Shen Tian's body.
His cultivation of the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra had also reached the greater mastery stage.
It should be pointed out that the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra was the Southern Border Phoenix race's most important legacy sutra. It was on par with Black Dragon Island's True Dragon Imperial Sutra.
After half a month of intense training, Shen Tian's understanding of the divine phoenix power had deepened.
"I better settle down the energy inside my body first. I will think about the other matters later!"
Shen Tian sat down cross-legged and started cultivating on this nameless island.
Intense energy surged out of Shen Tian's body, and a scarlet aura soon enshrouded him. He looked very mystical.
Behind him, a scarlet Divine Phoenix avatar appeared, and its wings spread wide with flames surging up to the skies.
This was the divine phoenix power and the most elite form of it. Similar to the Immortal Phoenix Queen's.
Shen Tian's body trembled.
Another energy suddenly rose from within his body as if attracted by the divine phoenix power.
Mmm?
What's going on?
The divine dragon power is being triggered?
Shen Tian's eyes hardened, but he did not try to stop it. He wanted to see what would happen with these two powers.
The two surging powers clashed within Shen Tian's body, resulting in a mighty force.
Dragons roared and Phoenixes shrilled inside his body. Their power surged and roiled like powerful tsunami waves.
The two powers clashed again and again as if locked in battle.
Both powers wanted to take center stage in Shen Tian's body. Neither was willing to give way.
"Interesting. Dragons fighting against the phoenixes. I wonder if anything special will come of it?"
Shen Tian did not mind the ongoing battle in his body. He had the Chaotic Golden Body and was very strong and solid.
As intense as the battle was, it was unable to hurt him at all.
Nonetheless, he had a vague idea of what was happening.
The Dragon and Phoenix races had never gotten along.
It was obvious even 10,000 years ago. The relationship between Ao Bing and the Immortal Phoenix Queen was the worst.
The two of them were extraordinary prodigies, but they hated each other.
The main reason was that the divine dragon power and divine phoenix power contradicted each other. It was like fire and ice—both found it difficult to co-exist.
Shen Tian had a special constitution. He could even refine extraordinary items, so the dragon and phoenix powers were nothing to him.
Shen Tian was rather curious about what would happen if the dragon and phoenix powers continued to fight.
"Eh?"
Shen Tian realized that as the two powers continued to clash, they ended up entwined with each other, resulting in a dragon-phoenix dance scenario!
The divine dragon power was stronger, and in the end, it managed to gain the upper hand.
The main reason was that Shen Tian had obtained the Dragon Emperor Constitution after eating the Dragon Source Fruit. As a result, the divine dragon power inside his body was stronger than the divine phoenix power.
As these two powers continued to clash, they subtly enhanced each other. It looked like a brand new form of energy was about to be created.
Unfortunately, everything came to an abrupt stop.
"Damn, I thought I would evolve again!"
The corners of Shen Tian's lips twitched. He was somewhat disappointed.
The main reason was that the divine phoenix power inside his body was not strong enough. He could definitely evolve if the divine phoenix power was at the level of his divine dragon power.
"We will see how things turn out in the future!"
It was no easy feat to enhance the divine phoenix power unless he managed to get an extraordinary treasure like the Dragon Source Fruit.
And now that Shen Tian's providence was rather low, he did not feel safe at all.
I better find a way to improve my providence first!
"Eh? Why is there another new kind of fire inside my body?"
Shen Tian was shocked. He realized that apart from the Nan Ming Li Fire and True Sun Fire, there was a third kind of fire inside his body now. It was a scarlet wavering flame, vaguely in the shape of a small phoenix.
"This is... the Immortal Phoenix race's Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame!"
Shen Tian was filled with joy. Not only did he obtain the divine phoenix power after cultivating with the Immortal Phoenix Queen, but he had also gotten the Immortal Phoenix race's Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame. It was a surprise.
With this Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame, Shen Tian's ability to preserve his life had gotten even stronger.
The Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame was hailed as a Nirvana Divine Flame. It possessed potent vitality energy and gave its bearer the ability to resurrect.
His rate of recovery would be pushed to the maximum with this special fire.
Even if he suffered grievous injuries and was on the brink of death, he could make use of this fire to be reborn.
Its effect was on par with the Triple Light Divine Water and the Nirvana Holy Liquid. It might be even more potent.
Unfortunately, this flame was rather small and weak, so he could not use it to its full potential yet.
It was not a difficult thing to strengthen the Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame, however.
As the Five Elements could reinforce each other, Shen Tian could make use of the spiritual wood in his body to slowly enhance the divine flame. He could also make use of other fire-attribute energies to quickly strengthen the Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame.
To Shen Tian, who possessed over a dozen extraordinary items in his body, this was nothing to him.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have saved some Solar Liquid."
The Solar Liquid was a peerless fire-attribute treasure with very pure energy.
Previously, Shen Tian had soaked inside the Solar Liquid to enhance the True Sun Fire inside his body. He had already used up this precious liquid when he was cultivating his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage.
"Never mind. I can just find a few more good buddies to leverage off their fortuitous opportunities."
Shen Tian possessed a lot of resources. It would be easy for him to use some to exchange for some fire-attribute precious items.
"I have been gone for so long. Everyone must be very worried! I better contact Master and the rest!"
Shen Tian took out his Saint Token. A dazzling light appeared, and the image of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader formed in front of him.
"Master, I have already safely left the void turbulence and am currently on an island."
Shen Tian reported to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader that he was safe and sound.
"Good, very good!
"Tian'er, you are indeed the true Son of Providence. You were able to escape from the void turbulence safe and sound."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. He had already predicted this.
Many Sages had entered the void turbulence to search for Shen Tian, all to no avail. Nevertheless, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had not been worried at all. He knew that Shen Tian would be able to escape safely sooner or later. After all, Shen Tian was the Son of Providence with unsurpassable luck!
In the end, things did turn out as he had predicted.
"Tian'er, did you encounter any major fortuitous opportunity while you were inside the void turbulence?" asked the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, his aura rippling more intensely.
"No..."
Shen Tian's face darkened.
Not only did I not encounter any fortuitous opportunity, but I have been nearly squeezed dry too!
He had been taken advantage of!
I will never do that again the next time I am close to a breakthrough.
No fortuitous opportunity?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader thought for a moment before speaking again. "Never mind. Tian'er, you have so much luck that there must be some major fortuitous opportunity waiting for you.
"Go and explore again. I will go through the void to fetch you back when you find some fortuitous opportunity."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader cut off their connection.
"Eh? Master?
"Hello? Hello? Hello? Can you hear me, Master?
"I am completely surrounded by miles and miles of ocean. How can there possibly be any fortuitous opportunity here!?"
Shen Tian was stunned.
If you want me to find some fortuitous opportunity, I need to have some good brothers and sisters with me first!
Without their providence, how am I supposed to find fortuitous opportunities?
Master, I am really not the Son of Providence!
All remained silent across the peaceful ocean.
Shen Tian felt very helpless.
Never mind. It is better to rely on myself than on others!
Shen Tian sighed. He felt very despondent at the thought that he had to fly back to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground himself.
I must nourish myself properly when I return this time.
Yeap, I can brew Bai Di. That should be very nourishing.
Sigh...
My legs still feel a little weak!
Shen Tian dragged his weary body and daydreamed as he activated his golden wings and Kun Peng arts, morphing into a streak of golden light and flying toward the "south".
Half a day later, Shen Tian came to a sudden halt.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he surveyed the endless ocean surrounding him.
I don't really want to admit this, but... I think I might be lost again!
Yes, Shen Tian had no sense of direction.
He had originally been in North Sea's outer region, but as he kept flying "south", he was now in North Sea's deep recesses. He was even farther from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground now!
Roar!
Loud roars resounded.
Not far ahead was a chaotic scene with splashing water and an intense aura swirling over a wide area.
"Mmm? Is there a battle happening over there?"
Shen Tian felt relieved. Where there was a battle, there was also life.
Where there was life, there would be someone who knew the way.
With someone who knew the way, he could then leave this place.
Shen Tian flapped his golden wings and charged toward the battleground.
He arrived at the scene in the blink of an eye.
A few figures were fighting a short distance in front of him.
One of them was very big. It was a hundred feet tall and covered in sharp bone spikes like a dragonfish. Its aura was terrifying.
It was a fierce beast, and judging by its aura, it was already a peak Mighty Prowess beast.
This beast had bloodshot eyes and clearly had no spirituality. It was fighting with pure instinct.
Its opponent was a small, slender figure who was obviously human.
The human exuded an extremely sharp and harsh aura as if she was the embodiment of a heavenly sword. Her sword intent was terrifying.
Behind this figure was a small, fiery-red figure. She was covered in scarlet flames with a Phoenix avatar behind her. Her aura was also very formidable.
The two figures had joined forces to fend off that dragonfish-like beast. Their fearsome aura surged across the region, causing turbulent waves and howling winds.
"It's them?"
Shen Tian's eyes lit up.
Those two were familiar faces. It was Princess Linglong whom he had met half a month ago and her contract partner, the Immortal Phoenix Princess, Feng Wu!
Princess Linglong was fighting that fearsome beast now.
Roar!
The beast's loud roars triggered massive waves.
Boundless ocean waves surged upward and morphed into ten tremendous water pillars. They started to crash down as if wanting to destroy the entire sea region.
This fierce Mighty Prowess beast was extremely powerful, and even a Soul Formation expert might not be able to win against it.
"Black Sky Sword!"
Princess Linglong issued a quiet command. Boundless sword aura erupted from her body, creating a brand new sword domain where tens of thousands of swords flew together.
The entire sky transformed in the blink of an eye.
Peerless sword aura surged into the air, stirring all the surrounding Spirit Qi.
Endless sword aura merged in space, forming a colossal sword.
This colossal sword then slashed at that fearsome beast.
At that moment, the fabrics of space started to tear!

Chapter 397: Brother Shen Definitely Likes Me!
Although Princess Linglong's cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage, she possessed the Linglong Sage Body and cultivated the supreme sword technique Black Sky Sword Art, which was as powerful as an imperial sutra.
That greatly enhanced Princess Linglong's attack prowess!
The power of that strike was enough to threaten even a Heavenly Venerable!
The sword aura descended from the sky like a shooting star which lit up the entire North Sea!
Dozens of towering water pillars were destroyed by that sword aura and sprayed all over.
The sword aura did not stop there. It continued flying toward that ferocious dragonfish.
Clang!
The sword aura slashed onto the dragonfish, but dozens of bone spikes suddenly appeared, forming a wall made of bone spikes.
The bone spikes blocked the sword aura, and only a few cracks were formed.
"This beast's defense is actually so strong!"
Shi Linglong's tone turned solemn. She had never thought that a strike in which she had poured all her strength would actually be unable to penetrate that ferocious beast's defense!
That dragonfish's bone spikes were extremely sturdy—they could even be compared to a supreme-grade Spirit artifact.
A ferocious peak Mighty Prowess beast was indeed difficult to deal with.
"Why would such a powerful, ferocious beast without spirituality be in North Sea's depths?"
Shi Linglong was puzzled. One would be counted as a powerful cultivator if they were able to reach the peak of the Soul Formation stage.
However, this ferocious beast had no signs of intelligence at all. It was as if someone had erased its intellect and only left its bloodthirst for slaughter?
Shi Linglong was in deep thought, but the ferocious beast had already attacked once again.
A violent aura erupted from the beast's body. It caused the sea to surge and formed huge waves as if wanting to swallow everything.
The waves that were as tall as 10,000 feet pressed on toward Shi Linglong with imposing momentum.
"Feng Wu!" Shi Linglong shouted, and that red-haired loli instantly took action.
Huff!
Feng Wu puffed her cheeks and suddenly blew out blazing Divine Phoenix Fire, which instantly turned into a huge fireball as it was shot out.
Rumble!
When the fireball and water curtain collided, endless white mist was formed.
"You beast, you deserve a good beating!"
"Phoenix Flame Meteorite!"
The red-haired loli was furious, and the Phoenix avatar behind her became even more corporeal as if wanting to spread its wings and screech.
Blazing flames were shot out from the Phoenix Avatar, emitting a majestic and powerful aura like that of a flame meteor falling.
Divine Phoenix Fire burned brightly as if it wanted to burn the whole space into nothingness.
The rain of fire landed and instantly covered the dragonfish!
"Awoo!"
The dragonfish was in pain. Its body was burnt black, and even the aroma of cooked meat could be vaguely smelled.
The Divine Phoenix Fire had endless power. Even a peak Mighty Prowess ferocious beast suffered quite the heavy burns.
"Good job, Feng Wu!" Shi Linglong was elated. "That's right, continue using flames to attack!"
Roar!
A savage roar resounded.
The ferocious beast seemed to be angered and instantly became violent. Its originally red pupils turned scarlet like a blood moon.
Dong, dong, dong!
That dragonfish suddenly charged forward. Its huge body was like a lofty mountain that weighed a few megatons and could crush humans into a bloody paste.
The surrounding seawater was split into two.
The dragonfish swam smoothly without any obstructions, which made it appear to be terrifying.
Shi Linglong narrowed her eyes and lifted her sword as she faced the ferocious beast that was charging toward her viscously. She leaped and swung her Star Linglong Sword as if she was dancing elegantly and nimbly, forming an immense sword aura!
In that instant, countless sword auras were produced once again, merged to form a sword aura net, and engulfed the dragonfish.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The sword aura split the surrounding sea into two and revealed a land of nothingness. The sword aura net's piercing force seemed to want to slice the engulfed dragonfish into pieces.
Surprisingly, the dragonfish curled up its body and exposed countless sharp bone spikes.
Clang, clang, clang!
The bone spikes blocked every sword aura—they couldn't break through the bone spikes at all!
Chi!
At that moment, a ray of light erupted from the dragonfish's body. It was a sharp bone spike with a fearsome aura that could tear apart a Heavenly Venerable's body with crushing force.
Clang!
Shi Linglong swung her sword to block, but she was pushed backward, and the aura around her started to boil.
Although she was able to contend against normal Heavenly Venerable, it was beyond her power to battle such a peak Demon Venerable beast, whose physical body was incomparably powerful.
The dragonfish's attack did not stop there. Its bone spikes were shaking, and once it gave out a roar, it shot them out of its body.
The fabrics of space trembled as the bone spikes rained down. It was as if the fabrics of space were unable to withstand such strength and about to collapse.
"Oh no!"
Shi Linglong's expression changed. That aura was just too terrifying, and she could not block it at all.
At that moment, a golden light flashed. It was as fast as golden lightning and had instantly appeared in front of Shi Linglong.
Boom!
A loud thud echoed as a heavy punch was unleashed, shattering the fabrics of space in the process.
The fearsome fist collided with the bone spikes and instantly smashed them into pieces, sending their fragments flying in all directions.
Shi Linglong's jaws dropped as she witnessed this.
"What a powerful punch!" she exclaimed.
That bone spikes, which even she found hard to block, were actually smashed into pieces by this golden figure?
The golden light gradually disappeared, and that figure became visible. It was a man with a slender figure and wearing Golden Divine Armor. His side profile, which was vaguely revealed, was extremely handsome, just like the most meticulous masterpiece of the heavens. Shi Linglong became infatuated the more she looked at him.
"Saint Shen Tian!" exclaimed Shi Linglong, excitement spreading over her face.
She never expected the person who appeared in front of her to be the Divine Firmament Saint, who had disappeared half a month ago.
After learning that the Divine Firmament Saint had been trapped within the turbulent void, Shi Linglong had been extremely worried.
She had hurriedly sent a message to her father, asking him to send people and search for Shen Tian in the turbulent void.
However, there had been no news until now.
Now that Shen Tian had actually appeared in front of her and even blocked the ferocious beast's attack, Shi Linglong's heart instantly fluttered... and her imagination ran wild.
"Princess, are you alright?" asked Shen Tian as he turned his head around.
"Thank you, Saint, for helping me. I am fine."
Upon seeing that Shen Tian was worried about her, Shi Linglong blushed, and her heart could not help but skip a beat.
Why did the Divine Firmament Saint appear here?
Is it possible that he came to save me after learning that I was in danger!?
Looks like he really cares about me~
Roar!
At that moment, the dragonfish attacked once again. Its scarlet pupils turned vicious after its attack was blocked. It suddenly charged toward Shen Tian, leaving a trail of bloody light behind it.
"Be careful. Saint. That ferocious beast's body is extremely sturdy, so you should not face it head-on," Shi Linglong warned.
She knew clearly just how fearsome that ferocious beast's body was—even her Black Sky Sword Art was unable to pierce through it.
"It's alright. I'm also very curious just how strong my physical body is. Also, I've had enough of being beaten up in the past month."
Shen Tian could not help but complain. He had been extremely miserable in the past half a month as he had been at a disadvantage during the high-intensity "cultivation session" with the Immortal Phoenix Queen. She had completely overpowered him.
There was no choice—the Immortal Phoenix Queen liked the feeling of being set high above the masses.
Therefore, Shen Tian had been unable to vent out his frustration during the past half a month.
Since this ferocious beast had appeared in a timely manner, Shen Tian would not let go of such a good opportunity.
He could beat up this ferocious beast to vent out his frustration!
At the same time, Shen Tian was curious just how powerful his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage was!
Shen Tian leaped into the air. Golden light surrounded him, and numerous avatars appeared behind him.
The ten Lightning Beasts, Dragon God, Phoenix God avatars, and so on... had all appeared, making him seem like he was like an immortal that descended from the Celestial World.
His fearsome aura surged out and covered the whole sea region.
"Such a powerful aura!"
Shi Linglong's eyes betrayed her astonishment.
Brother Shen became even stronger in just the half month we did not meet!?
Just his aura alone is on par with that peak Demon Venerable ferocious beast.
Feng Wu was also astounded as she witnessed this.
"Huh, what's happening?
"Why does Brother Shen possess the Phoenix God avatar and divine phoenix power?
"Also, in terms of quality, the grade of that power is even higher than my race's elders!"
Feng Wu was the Immortal Phoenix race's princess and cultivated the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra. Thus, she was extremely familiar with the divine phoenix power.
However, Feng Wu could sense that Shen Tian's body contained an extremely pure divine phoenix power. Its grade was extremely high, and it was even more powerful than the divine phoenix power within her.
Had Shen Tian not been in the midst of battle, she would have already questioned him.
Meanwhile, the battle was already in progress.
Shen Tian attacked brazenly. Golden light flowed underneath his feet like a meteorite, directly dashing toward that ferocious beast.
Roar!
The dragonfish roared hideously, and all the bone spikes on its body stood up like numerous sharp spears as if wanting to stab holes even in space.
Shen Tian charged forward and punched.
The various avatars behind him roared and emitted extremely fearsome power that was crushing even the fabrics of space.
The power of that punch was enough to astonish the five regions.
Bang!
A loud thud echoed as that golden punch landed on the bone spikes and smashed them into pieces.
That punch was terrifying!
Shen Tian smiled when he saw that.
As expected of how terrifying the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage was!
His physical body's strength could be compared to that of a Sage's.
That dragonfish may be at the peak Mighty Prowess realm and have a powerful body, but it was still far from the Life Death Calamity[1] realm.
Therefore, the dragonfish instantly let out a tragic wail due to Shen Tian's attack.
The dragonfish's bone spikes were an extension of its bones and connected to the whole body. In other words, they were the dragonfish's lifeline.
Now that the bone spikes were crushed, it was like its spine had been crushed. One could imagine how painful that must be.
The dragonfish could sense how frightening Shen Tian was, so it quickly leaped away as if wanting to dive into the sea.
"You want to leave just like that? I still haven't had my fair share of fun!"
Shen Tian's back emitted golden light, and he instantly appeared beside the ferocious beast.
Boom!
Shen Tian punched it yet again, knocking away the humongous dragonfish. It created a large splash as it fell into the water heavily.
"Awo!"
That dragonfish let out a miserable wail. It started to struggle due to the severe pain and created raging waves. The churning waves surged toward Shen Tian as if wanting to force him to retreat.
However, Shen Tian's invincible punch obliterated everything in its path.
The current Shen Tian was like an invincible God of War, with every punch accurately landing on the dragonfish's body as he attacked relentlessly.
A few bone spikes would be broken with each punch, so the dragonfish's roar reverberated throughout the whole sea region.
The slack-jawed Shi Linglong, who was at the side, stared at Shen Tian in a daze.
"Such a powerful body, so strong!"
Shi Linglong's heart fluttered. What she witnessed was the purest form of physical strength. It was already rare to see that humans' physical strength could be on par with a ferocious beast's.
Not to mention Shen Tian, a Nirvana practitioner, was overpowering that peak Mighty Prowess ferocious beast.
Everything was simply unbelievable!
No matter how knowledgeable Shi Linglong was, she could not help but be astounded!
Shen Tian had turned the ferocious beast's body into a sandbag—Shi Linglong could not even penetrate it earlier!
Shen Tian looked like an invincible God of War in his Longyuan Divine Armor, and the infatuated Princess Linglong was staring at him blankly.
Boom!
Finally, that dragonfish could not endure Shen Tian's thrashing, and its body exploded, turning into a bloody mist that dispersed in the surroundings.
In that instant, Shi Linglong finally reacted, and the infatuation in her eyes also turned to astonishment.
She had not been paying attention to the battle situation at all as she was only looking at Shen Tian's perfect figure.
When she finally snapped back to her senses, the ferocious beast was already dead!
He's just too powerful!
The Divine Firmament Saint was able to improve so much in just half a month!?
Shi Linglong suddenly felt that even her cousin might not be able to defeat Shen Tian!
"Princess, why are you in such a place?"
Shen Tian slowly descended. His breathing was stable, as if he had not had a high-intensity battle moments ago.
In fact, that was the case. Shen Tian basically had not spent much strength as he had completely relied on his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage to overpower that ferocious beast.
Be it physical strength or speed, that dragonfish could not be compared to Shen Tian at all. It had been unable to defeat Shen Tian. Even after exposing its bone spikes, its lifeline, it could not resist at all.
"Thank you, Saint, for saving me. I have come here to search for Penglai Island."
Shi Linglong thanked Shen Tian, and she did not conceal that she was searching for Penglai Island.
If Shen Tian had not appeared, she might have been in danger. She could not win against that dragonfish after all.
Fortuitous opportunities were nothing compared to one's life.
Of course, Shen Tian's handsomeness was also a small part of Princess Linglong's reason to tell him about Penglai Island.
Of course, it was only an extremely small part of the reason...
"Penglai Island?"
Shen Tian raised his eyebrows. He had heard of Penglai Island before. According to rumors, this island was deep in North Sea and isolated from the outside world. It was also known as the Penglai Fairyland.
Shi Linglong nodded and said, "Rumors say that 10,000 years ago, the best Thearch in alchemy, the Lotus Thearch, had lived in seclusion in Penglai Island. He would make pills to treat illnesses and save people from misery.
"I read a few ancient books, and they speculated that Penglai Island was in this region. So I decided to come and try my luck in Penglai Island to see if I can find the Lotus Thearch's heritage."
Shi Linglong took out a yellowed map that recorded Penglai Island's location.
"Would Brother Shen be willing to head to Penglai Island with me?"
Shi Linglong fixated her gaze on Shi Linglong.
"You were the one that found this map, so I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate for me to get involved," replied Shen Tian.
If one were to invite others to explore a mystic realm together, then the fortuitous opportunities obtained would have to be shared.
Princess Linglong already had the map with Penglai Island's location, so she would naturally be able to find it shortly after. Therefore, it was no exaggeration to say that Princess Linglong was completely giving treasures to Shen Tian for free by inviting him!
"Frankly speaking, although I know that Penglai Island is nearby, it's definitely not easy to enter an island where a Thearch had been living in seclusion.
"For example, I could only retreat if you had not helped me defeat that ferocious beast just now."
Shi Linglong looked at Shen Tian sincerely and said, "Also, Brother Shen is also an unprecedented Son of Providence. I'll definitely be able to have bountiful gains if I travel with you."
Shen Tian looked at Shi Linglong's shining providence halo—there was the scene of a fortuitous opportunity within it!
Evidently, he would be able to freeload again if he followed her!
His providence had decreased greatly when he had broken through previously!
I wonder how much providence I will recover after this trip~
"Since you've invited me, it will be impolite for me to decline."
"Alright, then we'll head out now!"
Shi Linglong was instantly elated once Shen Tian accepted her invitation.
She was originally worried that Shen Tian would reject her. After all, fortuitous opportunities were lying everywhere in wait for a Son of Providence like him. In other words, there was no need for him to travel with her.
However, after mentioning that there might be dangers in Penglai Island, Shen Tian agreed to travel with her.
Weren't his intentions obvious enough?
Shi Linglong could not help but smile, and her pretty face even turned red like a tomato.
It must be because Brother Shen is worried about my safety, and he wants to protect me.
Brother Shen definitely likes me!
That's right, it makes me so full of happiness~

Chapter 398: Astonished Lotus Thearch!
Three figures flashed across North Sea's depths.
"Strange... According to the map, Penglai Island should be around here. Why haven't we found it yet despite already traveling a whole round in this area?"
Shi Linglong was frustrated as she looked at the old map. There was only the vast sea surrounding them and no sign of Penglai Island at all.
"Brother Shen, please wait for a moment. We'll definitely be able to find Penglai Island when I figure out the direction."
Shi Linglong's face turned slightly red from embarrassment. She had originally been in high spirits when she invited Shen Tian to explore Penglai Island together.
However, they had yet to even find where the Penglai Island was—it was too awkward.
Seeing how Princess Linglong was at a loss, Shen Tian could not help but shake his head and laugh inwardly.
This woman is indeed a person with no sense of direction!
About half a month had passed since Shi Linglong had left Immortal Abode Island, but she still had not found Penglai Island. She had been randomly wandering around the sea, or else she would not have accidentally barged into the dragonfish's territory.
"Princess, how about you let me take a look at the map," suggested Shen Tian.
The sun would set if they continued delaying like this.
"A-alright!"
Shi Linglong's face turned even redder as she hurriedly passed the map to Shen Tian.
Shen Tian took the map, and his lips twitched as he looked at it.
How is this a map!?
It was full of intersected lines—all entangled together. It looked like children's drawings. It would be a miracle if one would be able to find the way with that.
Alright!
Shen Tian definitely would not admit that he was also not very good at reading the map...
However, that was not important!
Shen Tian stuffed the map into his clothes, chose a direction, and said, "Follow me."
After finishing, Shen Tian leaped and flew toward that direction.
Princess Linglong and Feng Wu hurriedly followed him.
Shortly after, the three of them flew past thousands of miles before entering a region that had an abundance of Spirit Qi.
White mist rose from the sea, making the area look dreamy and magical. This region looked just like a fairyland as sunlight shone onto the dense mist. It was a peculiar scene.
An island could vaguely be seen floating behind the thick mist.
"It's Penglai Island!"
Shi Linglong was elated as they had finally found their destination.
"Brother Shen is indeed amazing! You were able to decipher even such a difficult map."
Shi Linglong did not understand that map even though she had been looking at it for a long time.
However, under Shen Tian's guidance, they had found Penglai Island shortly—his road-finding capability was just too powerful!
Shen Tian could not help but smile upon hearing Shi Linglong's praise.
It's all because of my high IQ!
There's no map that I can't decipher!
Alright!
Actually, the reason Shen Tian had been able to find Penglai Island so quickly was due to... the fortuitous opportunity map.
Shi Linglong's halo showed the fortuitous opportunity scene. Under normal circumstances, she would spend half a month slowly exploring the whole region before finding Penglai Island.
Shen Tian did not want to waste time, so he directly skipped that process and located Penglai Island.
The three of them passed through the thick mist and got closer to that island.
Penglai Island was floating on top of the sea. It emitted rays of auspicious and grandeur light, making it seem magical and mystical.
This was Penglai Island, aka Penglai Fairyland!
"According to rumors, the Lotus Thearch lived here in seclusion because there's an abundance of Spirit Qi, and it's quiet and peaceful, just like a paradise.
"Also, Penglai Island's environment is very suitable for planting and nurturing various extremely precious spirit herbs.
"Therefore, we'll definitely have a bountiful gain here," explained Shi Linglong.
She had already done a lot of preparatory work before heading to Penglai Island.
Shortly after, they arrived at Penglai Island.
However, the scenery stunned them.
The Penglai Island in front of them was not like a paradise at all.
The place was filled with crumbling walls, ruined curbs, and collapsed platforms, as if an intense battle had broken out there, destroying everything and leaving ruins behind.
The huge Penglai Island was in a state of devastation.
"How is this possible? Why has Penglai Island become like this?"
Shi Linglong was astounded, the Thearch's tomb had actually been reduced to a heap of rubbles?
It was obvious that the island had experienced a fierce battle. It seemed that supreme beings had fought it out there, destroying the whole place in the process. This resulted in the collapse of mountains and destruction of the land.
Even the spirit veins had all dried up, as if they had been forcibly sucked dry by someone, cutting off all sources of Spirit Qi in this land.
Even Princess Linglong could not help but be horrified by the sight.
"When the Lotus Thearch was still alive, Penglai Island was isolated from the outer world, and no one dared to disturb him. Who would have thought that it has become a land of ruins now?" exclaimed Shi Linglong.
No matter how many powerful beings had achieved the peak cultivation level and brought honor to the five regions in the past, they had all disappeared in the long river of time, unheard of by anyone.
The reason Penglai Island was in such a state was probably that some people had come to this island beforehand and had already taken all the precious treasures.
Shortly after, the three of them searched the whole Penglai Island.
Besides some spirit herbs, which were left behind, there was nothing else.
"Looks like we've come for nothing. Is it possible that others have already obtained the Lotus Thearch's heritage?"
Shi Linglong felt that it was a pity as she had sincerely invited Shen Tian. She had originally wanted to share her most precious fortuitous opportunity with Shen Tian.
Who would have thought that Penglai Island was already in ruins, and they basically had no gains?
Sigh... How embarrassing!
Seeing that Shi Linglong seemed to be dispirited, Shen Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry. Since this is the Lotus Thearch's last resting place, it shouldn't be this simple.
"The Lotus Thearch is a powerful Thearch, so how is it possible that he would let others easily obtain his heritage?
"Maybe what we're seeing is an illusion."
Just like Immortal Abode Island, this was also a Thearch's final resting place. However, in Immortal Abode Island's case, the most precious treasures and heritage were in the Golden Crow tomb,
They had yet to find the Lotus Thearch's tomb in Penglai Island, so it did not mean that others had obtained the heritage.
"What Brother Shen says makes sense!"
Shi Linglong nodded. She also did not believe that others had already obtained the Lotus Thearch's heritage.
In the end, it was the heritage of the best Thearch in alchemy, so if someone really had obtained it, that person would have definitely become famous in the whole five regions. It would be impossible for no news to spread at all.
"However, just where would the Lotus Thearch's tomb be!"
Shi Linglong was puzzled. They had already searched the whole Penglai Island, but they could not find the tomb at all.
Not even a clue about the tomb was found.
Shen Tian smiled and reminded, "It was said that the Lotus Thearch was the manifestation of a lotus during cultivation.
"Then, according to the mutually generating relation of the Five Elements, Water breeds Wood, his tomb might be hidden underwater."
Shen Tian had already known that the tomb was in the bottom of the sea from the fortuitous opportunity scene in Shi Linglong's providence halo.
"What Brother Shen says is right!"
Shi Linglong's eyes lit up. She had not thought about it in such an aspect before. However, after being advised by Shen Tian, she was suddenly enlightened.
"Then, let's take a look underwater!"
The three of them hurriedly dived below Penglai Island.
North Sea was so deep the bottom could not be seen.
The three of them swam deeper into the sea.
As they swam further, the surrounding water pressure also became much stronger.
That pressure was like there was a mountain pressing on one, overwhelming them so much that they would lose their breath.
Shi Linglong's face turned slightly red as her breathing became heavy. She seemed to be unable to endure that pressure.
Although she was the Celestial Dynasty's princess, her physical strength was not that formidable.
Currently, the water pressure had already reached a frightening degree that even normal Heavenly Venerables would find it difficult to endure.
Feng Wu had even turned into her Phoenix form so that her physical body would be greatly strengthened. Only then could she barely endure that pressure.
At that moment, a splendid ray of light bloomed from within Shi Linglong.
A grotto-heaven seemed to open behind her. A thick heavenly aura enshrouded it and overflowed with starlight as if it was a world of its own.
It was the supreme avatar that Shi Linglong's Sage Body possessed that could enhance herself.
As that grotto-heaven opened, the pressure on Shi Linglong decreased greatly, and her breathing also returned to normal.
On the contrary, Shen Tian was calm from the beginning.
Even the Immortal Phoenix Queen can't overwhelm me, not to mention this trivial water pressure.
Given his super-powerful physical body due to his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage, the current water pressure was simply nothing to him. It could be said to be smooth sailing.
The three of them quickly dived downward, and they reached 3,600,000 feet below sea level.
Finally, a peculiar sight appeared in front of them.
In the distance, a huge valley could be seen.
That valley was extremely strange as weird stones that were hooked together surrounded it, thus forming an impregnable natural barrier.
It looked just like a 12th Stage lotus flower blooming.
The valley in the shape of a 12th Stage lotus flower seemed peculiar. Ιt was created with such great craftsmanship that it seemed to be naturally formed.
However, powerful nomological power surrounded it and actually blocked the surrounding seawater—no seawater could enter at all.
"We've finally found it, with the lotus flower as the valley and the valley as the tablet. This should be the tomb!"
Shi Linglong was elated. Νo wonder the Penglai Island has already been plundered by people long ago, but the Lotus Thearch's heritage is not obtained by anyone at all.'
Who could have expected that the Lotus Thearch would actually build his tomb 3,600,000 feet below sea level?
Not to mention this was not a place ordinary people could reach.
Even normal Heavenly Venerables would find it difficult to dive this deep into the sea due to the heavy water pressure.
After discovering their target, they quickly swam into the 12th Stage lotus flower valley.
A majestic ancient palace was floating in front of them.
The thick ancient doors in front of the palace gave off the heavy atmosphere of the passing time. There was a magnificent and glittering tablet on top of the gates with the words "Lotus Thearch Tomb" carved on it.
The words were written vigorously, and one could sense an extremely powerful aura when looking at it.
"This is the Lotus Thearch's tomb?"
Shi Linglong looked at the palace in front of her, filled with astonishment.
The tomb's majestic aura emitted was no weaker than the Golden Crow Thearch tomb at all.
As expected of the Thearch that was the best at alchemy 10,000 years ago—his tomb was indeed extraordinary.
Rumble!
The heavy gates gradually opened as if they had sensed the three of them, and a majestic aura poured out suddenly.
"Brother Shen, are we going to enter and take a look?"
Shi Linglong was bewildered. Their surroundings were too quiet, so quiet that it was strange.
Not to mention that the tomb's gates actually opened by themselves—no keys were needed at all.
It was as if it was saying, "I'm all prepared, come in!"
Well... they could not help but be on guard!
"It's okay, as the best Thearch in alchemy, the Lotus Thearch would create medicinal pills to treat illnesses and save people from misery before he ascended. He was renowned for his benevolence.
"Therefore, the Thearch should be lenient and most likely would not set traps to harm others.
"Also, the Lotus Thearch left this tomb to find his successor. There's no benefit for him if he harms those that enter."
Shen Tian was calm and composed, with no sign of fear on his face.
How could those who went out for experiential journeys to search for treasures and explore mystic realms be afraid of dangers!
Did one need to be afraid when exploring just a trifling tomb?
Anything was possible if one had legs to explore!
Shi Linglong admired Shen Tian's fearless attitude.
As expected of Brother Shen! He's so calm and composed even in front of the tomb. I really feel super secure with Brother Shen beside me!
The three of them walked forward and entered the tomb.
Boom!
Just when the three of them entered, the heavy gates suddenly closed shut.
At the same time, an old voice echoed in everyone's mind.
"Young cultivators, welcome.
"Finally, someone has entered my tomb after 10,000 years.
"You only need to pass my tests to obtain my heritage."
That voice sounded ethereal, but it was extremely solemn, shocking them.
Afterward, a figure appeared from nowhere. It was a grey-haired amiable-looking old man in green robes. He did not look like an unrivaled Thearch but more like a kind old man.
That figure was the best Thearch in alchemy that would show compassion by saving others from misery—the Lotus Thearch!
"Senior Lotus Thearch, we have come to inherit Senior's legacy in order to promote alchemy and assist others in times of distress."
Shi Linglong's eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at the gray-haired old man in front of her.
"To have such a disposition, not bad!
"However, you need to pass three tests to obtain my heritage.
"Only after passing all three can you inherit my legacy."
The Lotus Thearch bowed slightly with a smile.
"Senior Lotus Thearch, we are willing to accept the tests!"
Shi Linglong and Shen Tian nodded.
The Lotus Thearch spoke. "Alright!"
A peculiar power surged and enveloped the three of them.
"The first test is an assessment about the talent of your physical constitution. You need to have both supreme-grade fire-attribute and wood-attribute constitution to be able to inherit my alchemy skills. Only then could one be able to cultivate my alchemy skills to the peak level!"
Only those with supreme-grade fire-attribute constitution would be able to control the fire and ensure the accuracy of successfully making the pill.
Meanwhile, a supreme-grade wood-attribute constitution indicated a high affinity with the spirit herbs and ensured their medicinal effects could be fully maximized.
Therefore, these two attributes were extremely important for one to reach the epitome of alchemy.
The first one to be examined was Princess Linglong.
A green light descended from the sky and instantly entered Shi Linglong.
"You actually have the Linglong Sage Body and even signed the contract with that kid from the Phoenix race? You also have the Phoenix race's flame? Not bad, very good."
The Lotus Thearch nodded in satisfaction.
The Linglong Sage Body was a supreme-grade constitution formed from the mutation of three supreme-grade Spiritual Roots—Metal, Wood, and Earth.
Not only would the person with such a constitution have a high affinity with all Daos, but her aptitude for enlightenment and foundation for cultivation would be greatly enhanced. It definitely satisfied the requirement of the supreme-grade wood-attribute constitution.
Also, Shi Linglong possessed the divine phoenix power within her that could activate the Divine Phoenix Fire. Thus, it was also counted as her having the supreme-grade fire-attribute constitution.
Shi Linglong, who met the wood- and fire-attribute constitution criteria, was definitely counted as one of the successors that the Lotus Thearch was quite satisfied with.
The Lotus Thearch smiled. He never expected the first person he met after waiting for 10,000 years to be so highly talented.
Although it was not to the degree of him teaching her everything, it was already enough as a normal successor.
The second person to be examined was Feng Wu, and the criteria were the same as before.
"The descendant of the Immortal Phoenix race. You have the Divine Phoenix Fire. Not bad."
The Lotus Thearch touched his white mustache. The Divine Phoenix Fire was powerful and useful for creating pills.
It was a pity her wood-attribute talent was not enough and paled in comparison to Princess Linglong's.
"Alright, it's your turn now." The Lotus Thearch spoke as he turned to look at Shen Tian.
"Senior Lotus Thearch, please examine me!"
Shen Tian cupped his hands together and allowed that green light to enter his body.
"WTF!
"A human body can actually accommodate 10 extraordinary items?
"Are you still human? It can't be that too much time has passed since I stored my remnant consciousness that it has expired!?
"F*ck, you even have chaotic aura!"
Suddenly, the Lotus Thearch's amiable and warm smile instantly disappeared. It was instead replaced by astonishment as if he had seen a ghost.
He felt that he might be dreaming!

Chapter 399: Lotus Thearch: Hit Me With Your Full Strength!!!
Upon sensing the chaotic aura in Shen Tian's body, the Lotus Thearch's body trembled, and he even pulled out a part of his white mustache.
"Your constitution is just too frightening. Not only are you able to accommodate overt ten extraordinary items, but you even dare to store something like the chaotic aura within you."
The Lotus Thearch took a deep breath as his eyes were filled with astonishment.
As a powerful Thearch, how could the Lotus Thearch not know how terrifying the chaotic aura was?
It was a power that even a Thearch could not control!
However, in the end?
He actually saw it in the body of a Nirvana weakling. Not only did he have chaotic aura, but it was even merged with him.
It was simply mind-blowing!
"Senior Lotus Thearch, have I successfully passed the test?"
Shen Tian smiled with composure.
What he had done was not simply merging the chaotic aura into his body!
Before the Connate Chaotic Body, even chaotic aura could only become his nourishment and be controlled by him as if it were his limbs.
The Lotus Thearch's mouth twitched.
Aren't you a little freakish?
Not only do you have two types of wood-attribute extraordinary items, but you even have three types of supreme-grade Extraordinary Fire. You're really born for alchemy!
Also, the chaotic aura... It's something I have been pursuing my whole life!
The Lotus Thearch was overjoyed and shocked.
Looks like I have extremely good luck! I never expected to be able to meet so many talented fated people the first time the tomb was activated.
Not to mention Shen Tian's monstrous constitution, just that girl's Linglong Sage Body would also be one of the top physical constitutions even in the era 100,000 years ago.
Although that little Phoenix from the Immortal Phoenix race is slightly lacking as she does not have wood-attribute energy, she's also quite talented.
Is it possible that my alchemy heritage can finally be promoted and brought to a greater height of development?
"Your constitutions temporarily satisfied my requirements.
"Next is the second test.
"The second test will test your talent for alchemy.
"When learning alchemy, one will need not only the corresponding constitution but also talent in terms of alchemy."
The Lotus Thearch pretended to be calm as he explained the next test.
"There are 108 murals here that record 108 methods of creating pills. You have three days to study them all you want, and no one will disturb you in those three days. As long as you successfully learn enough methods of creating pills, I will acknowledge you."
The Lotus Thearch waved his hand, and instantly the surrounding scenery changed.
A humongous stone wall floated in front of the three of them.
108 murals were carved on the stone wall, which recorded the 108 profound methods of creating pills.
One had to know that the Lotus Thearch was the best in alchemy, so his methods of creating pills were unmatched. They could definitely be compared to imperial sutras in terms of value.
Those murals were carved with vivid images and surrounded by dense mist, making them seem extremely mysterious.
"108 postures... of creating pills?"
"So many?"
Shen Tian frowned. He had never studied alchemy before, so he was not very clear about the ways of alchemy.
However, to the cultivators in the five regions, the power of alchemy was unrivaled.
Try imagining two cultivators battling it out to the death. Suppose both sides were heavily injured as they matched each other in strength, but then suddenly, one of them took out a pill and was completely healed. Wouldn't that make the other despair?
That was not a pill but a second life!
Of course, normal pills were quite useless to Shen Tian. He had the Five Elements vitalizing each other within him, so his recovery ability was unprecedented. He could be said to have a limitless mana buff.
In addition, he had kiloliters of Triple Light Divine Water and Nirvana Holy Liquid, which were both supreme-grade healing elixirs that did not pale in comparison to top pills at all.
It could be said that Shen Tian did not need pills at all!
However, Shen Tian still wanted those alchemy techniques.
It was mainly because he had large amounts of spirit herbs from various mystic realms in his interspatial ring. Those spirit herbs were so precious that even if he just took out one of them, other cultivators would fight for it and might. It could lead to a bloodbath and make blood flow like a river.
However, those herbs were really not much of use to Shen Tian. Normally, he would just eat them as vegetables or fruits after a meal to wash away the greasy taste.
Nonetheless, Shen Tian's eyes lit up when he saw these alchemy techniques. If he learned alchemy, then he would be able to make those spirit herbs into pills. They would definitely taste better after they were turned into pills rather than just eating them raw, right?
Also, even if Shen Tian could not finish eating, he could give them to others. He could even gift them to other cultivators that were blessed by providence if he ran into them in the future.
Then it would be much simpler to freeload off them!
At that thought, Shen Tian was instantly filled with eagerness.
I'm definitely going to learn alchemy!
"The test begins!"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet after the Lotus Thearch spoke. The 108 murals simultaneously emitted a slight amount of Dao that elaborated the most exquisite and ingenious alchemy techniques.
Shi Linglong was the first to sit down cross-legged. She stared straight at the murals on the stone wall and started studying them carefully.
She kept on moving her hands to trace the scene of pill making, demonstrating the alchemy techniques in the murals.
As she continued practicing, her proficiency in those alchemy techniques increased rapidly.
Time passed by minutes and seconds, and she became more adept in using those alchemy techniques. Her posture looked elegant, as if it was compatible with the Dao of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, Shi Linglong shone brightly, and a dense pocket of void appeared behind her, glowing radiantly in all colors.
That pocket of void seemed illusory as it kept on displaying the pill-making scenery, which made the divine light on Shi Linglong shine even more brilliantly.
Her fingers danced as she cultivated the alchemy technique, and the light enshrouding her made her look as if she was creating heaven and earth.
"She's quite talented. She has actually successfully comprehended the first mural in just five minutes."
The Lotus Thearch nodded. He could see that Shi Linglong had some foundation in alchemy. Also, her Linglong Sage Body had a high affinity with all Daos
"I wonder how much she can learn in the end."
The Lotus Thearch's eyes were filled with anticipation. Those 108 murals contained all the alchemy techniques that he had learned in his lifetime. Each alchemy technique was unique, and they were all the best of the best.
Normal cultivators would improve greatly if they learned even one of the techniques on the murals.
Of course, the difficulty of cultivating those techniques was also extremely high.
Even if Shi Linglong had the Linglong Sage Body, it was impossible for her to learn all of them within the specified time. However, it was already enough for her to benefit for life if she was able to even learn 10-20% of them.
"I wonder how's that kid doing?"
Lotus Thearch turned to look at Shen Tian, his eyes filled with strong anticipation. He really wanted to know just how high that young man's aptitude for enlightenment was.
He only saw Shen Tian sitting in front of the murals and his body shining brightly as if he was a blazing sun.
There was a humongous avatar behind him.
Laws were surrounding that figure orderly as if all the Daos beneath heaven descended upon this place.
The most frightening thing was that figure's movements, which were mysterious and unpredictable. His hands moved quickly, and he had already learned from the first to the fourth mural in the blink of an eye—his speed was so fast it was unbelievable!
F*ck, just what kind of monster is he!?
He has already reached the fourth mural in just five minutes?
Also, if I did not see wrongly, he most likely did not know alchemy beforehand.
Or else, he would not be that stiff when learning the first mural.
That is to say... he's still a beginner!?
He's able to comprehend four of my supreme imperial-level alchemy techniques the first time he's exposed to alchemy!?
It was definitely outrageous even if the Lotus Thearch had shared the alchemy techniques willingly.
The Lotus Thearch even doubted himself when he saw Shen Tian's speed.
Those 108 murals were the essence of his lifetime alchemy understanding. It could be said to be the peak alchemy heritage in the whole five regions known for its supremacy and mystery.
His understanding of alchemy that he had spent 10,000 years to sort out was not something as easy as learning how to count!
It's impossible for him to comprehend them so easily! This doesn't make sense!
Shen Tian did not know that his speed of comprehending the alchemy techniques had already made the Lotus Thearch doubt himself.
Shen Tian was currently trying his best to activate his Connate Heavenly Dao Eyes and trying to deduce and cultivate those alchemy techniques.
Due to the Connate Constitution, he naturally had a high affinity with all Daos. Therefore, it would be a piece of cake for him to learn all cultivation techniques with his Connate Constitution.
Thus, under the enhancement of his Connate Constitution, Shen Tian's speed of learning those alchemy techniques was so fast it was frightening.
5 Murals!
10 Murals!
15 Murals!
107 Murals!
108 Murals!
In the beginning, when Shen Tian was learning the first few murals, it could be said that Shen Tian was unfamiliar as he had just started studying alchemy.
But as his understanding of alchemy deepened, his speed of enlightenment for those subsequent murals was even increasing.
In just half a day, Shen Tian had learned all 108 murals completely.
The Lotus Thearch was completely stunned.
"Senior Lotus Thearch, I have finished learning all of them."
Shen Tian stood up slowly, his eyes shining vaguely. The huge figure also completely disappeared and completely entered Shen Tian's body. That made Shen Tian's aura become denser, as if he was a powerful alchemist.
In fact, it was indeed so.
Those 108 murals that Shen Tian had learned were the Lotus Thearch's lifelong knowledge.
Just any one of those 108 alchemy techniques could surpass any normal alchemist with ease.
Currently, Shen Tian had learned all 108, so he had directly achieved greater mastery in alchemy. He could even be compared to a mighty figure that had cultivated alchemy for thousands of years.
If Shen Tian was willing, then any pill he created would cause countless cultivators in the five regions to fight for it—it would spark a bloodbath!
"Well... You're not bad."
The Lotus Thearch licked his lips and pretended to be calm, but he was already in an uproar inside.
Not only was Shen Tian not bad, but he was simply a monster!
Even the Lotus Thearch himself would not be able to learn all 108 alchemy techniques in just half a day.
However, not only did Shen Tian successfully do so, but he actually reached the greater mastery stage?
Just what kind of absurd speed was that? He was too fast! Men can't be so fast!
Is it possible that this kid is not some Nirvana weakling but a certain peerless prodigy from the Celestial World?
In that instant, Lotus Thearch started doubting himself. He was even doubting whether or not his alchemy techniques had been secretly leaked and just nicely Shen Tian had obtained them.
If not, what happened would be too unbelievable.
The Lotus Thearch could not figure it out at all!
"You're quite talented, just slightly lacking as compared to when I was young."
The Lotus Thearch's face turned red as he said that to Shen Tian.
"Senior, you're flattering me."
Shen Tian smiled. He was practically a noob in alchemy, so he definitely deserved to be proud of himself if he was able to be compared to the Thearch that was renowned as the best in alchemy 10,000 years ago, even if he paled in comparison.
Anyway, he had just learned the techniques for fun. It would be fine if he was able to just make pills.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Shi Linglong felt gratified but also regretful when she awoke from the enlightenment state.
Those 108 alchemy techniques were too profound. She was unable to learn all the alchemy techniques of the murals in three days, even with her Linglong Sage Body.
However, she did have a bountiful gain.
After this bout of enlightenment, Shi Linglong's alchemy skills had improved greatly and helped save at least 100 years of hard work.
"Not bad, you're quite good. You actually comprehended 49 alchemy techniques in just three days."
The Lotus Thearch revealed an amiable smile as he was extremely satisfied with Princess Linglong. She could be considered one of the top prodigies since she was able to comprehend 49 alchemy techniques.
Even if she was compared to all the prodigies of the five regions, she would definitely be one of the top ones.
Of course, the Lotus Thearch excluded a certain unmatched genius.
If she were to be compared with Shen Tian, not only Princess Linglong, even if a Thearch was reborn, said Thearch would become autistic from the chasm separating them.
"Thank you for your praise, Senior."
Shi Linglong was also overjoyed. It was naturally a good thing to be acknowledged by the Thearch.
She then asked as if she had suddenly thought of something, "How about Brother Shen? How many did he comprehend?"
"That kid comprehended all 108 murals on the first day."
The Lotus Thearch had a weird expression.
Why did she ask such a question? You're asking for it! You can't blame me for it!
The Lotus Thearch originally thought that Princess Linglong would definitely be discouraged after learning about Shen Tian's ability and would feel frustrated from the setback.
Of course, the Lotus Thearch was a compassionate person, so he had specially changed the "half a day" to "one day".
This way, Shi Linglong would not suffer too much of a setback!
However, he was wrong.
After hearing the Lotus Thearch's words, Princess Linglong revealed an expression of happiness. She was even more overjoyed than when hearing herself being praised.
"He comprehended all 108 alchemy techniques in just one day? So awesome! as expected of Brother Shen!"
Princess Linglong revealed a brilliant smile.
Since even a Thearch has acknowledged Brother Shen's talent, my father would most likely not stop us...
Then Shi Linglong blushed as if she had thought of something.
I'm so happy~
Looking at Princess Linglong, who was letting her imagination run wild, the Lotus Thearch broke out in cold sweat.
Well, who knew how a remnant consciousness was able to perspire!?
"Alright, now it's time for the third test.
"This third test is to test your combat talents.
"Although alchemy pays attention to creating pills, you need to ensure your own safety before you can save others. Thus, you only have the qualifications to help others if you are powerful enough.
"Or else, if because of gratitude and grudges or cause and effect, it would be difficult to save yourself, and you might even draw fire against yourself."
The Lotus Thearch sighed and revealed a shred of melancholy as if he had remembered some sorrowful event of the past.
Seeing how the Lotus Thearch was down, Shen Tian could not help but murmur inwardly.
Is it possible that this Thearch had encountered some medical disputes when he was young?
Since such medical disputes occur anywhere, one must learn how to kill before learning how to save others!
"This third test is to battle with my clone.
"You can learn my cultivation techniques and martial arts through my clone."
Although the Lotus Thearch was known for his alchemy skills, no cultivator that had become a Thearch in history was weak in terms of battle prowess.
Dislike for battles did not mean one could not fight!
"Of course, I will limit the cultivation level of my clone to the same level as you.
"You only need to use your full strength and display what you have learned. Try your best to last in front of me, only then will I be able to judge your strength."
As a Thearch, even if his cultivation level was suppressed to the same level, it was enough to dominate the whole five regions.
Shortly after, powerful energy enveloped the three of them.
The scenery in front of Shen Tian changed, and the surroundings became a foggy space.
Princess Linglong and Feng Wu had already disappeared.
It was obvious that they were tested separately this time.
"Kid, your constitution and talent are quite good.
"However, you also need to pay attention to controlling your own strength in the path of alchemy. It's very important to control your strength within a precise range."
A green figure slowly appeared in the sky, emitting a powerful aura.
Azure green flames surrounded him, and there was even a humongous green lotus avatar behind him.
That figure was the Lotus Thearch!
"You need to control both fire and wood-attribute power in alchemy.
"However, these two powers cannot only be used to make pills and save people, but they can also bring out mighty battle strength.
"Today, I shall teach you how to activate your wood and fire-attribute power to the maximum!"
The Lotus Thearch's voice was serious and majestic.
The azure green flames surrounding him suddenly surged.
The blazing green flames soared into the sky and pierced through the clouds with a fearsome strength that could incinerate everything.
The space started to become distorted and collapse under such a strength, burning into nothingness.
The green lotus behind the Lotus Thearch slowly bloomed, and its power could make even heaven and earth tremble.
That 12th Stage Lotus bloomed, and green light shone radiantly, full of vigorous vitality that would energize people.
Azure green flames soared into the sky and entangled with the 12th Stage Lotus, forming a huge lotus flower in green flames that looked just like a flaming lotus flower.
"Use your full strength to attack me!"
Lotus Thearch spoke coldly as he held the green fire lotus in his hands as if he was a fire god that descended.
This request made Shen Tian feel awkward. "Senior, I shouldn't do such a thing!"
"Don't worry, you won't be able to injure me," said the Lotus Thearch calmly.
As a Thearch, he had the confidence of being invincible among cultivators of the same cultivation level even if his cultivation level was suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage. As long as he was not careless, even experienced Heavenly Venerables would not be able to so much as harm a hair on his head.
Although this young Nirvana fellow's constitution and talent are exceptional, it can't be he thinks he can harm me, right?'
"It's too impolite."
Shen Tian still shook his head as he felt he would be rude.
The Lotus Thearch said impatiently, "You shouldn't be this dilly-dally as a man. Use your full strength to hit me."
Cultivators were fighting against the heavens for a slim chance of survival. Therefore, how could he trample over his peers if he could not even dare to attack the Lotus Thearch's remnant consciousness?
"Alright then!"
Seeing that the Lotus Thearch insisted, Shen Tian sighed. He took a deep breath and started to circulate his hidden strength.
The extraordinary items' energy was mobilized, so it instantly made Shen Tian's aura extremely powerful.
At that moment, endless fearsome avatars appeared behind Shen Tian, while blazing Exceptional Fires soared into the sky as if wanting to burn everything in their path.
The three flames merged together and erupted, giving off an aura of destruction.
Afterward, water surged like torrential waves, bringing about extremely violent energy. Following that, the power of wood, earth, and metal... started to gush out non-stop!
In that instant, Shen Tian unleashed all the strength of the extraordinary items within him.
The power of Five Elements surged straight into the clouds, which made even the sky lose its color.
There were even numerous avatars like Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Crimson Phoenix, Black Tortoise, Kun Peng, Peacock, and so on, soaring and dominating the sky.
Even space was about to collapse due to the avatars' emergence.
At the same time, Shen Tian's body exuded a magnificent golden and silver aura—the power of his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage was unleashed to the maximum.
Shen Tian then wore the Divine Firmament's Divine Armor. He looked extremely ethereal as he spread out his golden wings.
The Lotus Thearch's mouth could not help but twitch vigorously as he witnessed this scene.
He originally thought that Shen Tian only had an impressive talent for alchemy.
However, he never expected Shen Tian's battle strength to be so outrageous too.
The strength of this fellow is comparable to a Sage's!
Is he really only a Nirvana practitioner?
There's no such Nirvana practitioner! You must be joking!
The Lotus Thearch felt worried as his clone's cultivation level was at the Nascent Soul stage.
Why do I feel like... I might be unable to block his attack?
The Lotus Thearch was already feeling uneasy, but Shen Tian's battle intent had just been aroused.
From Shen Tian's point of view, since the Lotus Thearch had requested for him to use his full strength, he naturally had to respect the Lotus Thearch's choice.
Also, Shen Tian wanted to find out just how powerful a Thearch was when in the same cultivation level!
I want to know how big the difference between me and a Thearch is!
At that thought, Shen Tian's battle prowess that had already reached the level of a Sage instantly increased again and shot through the roof!
"God of War Transformation!"
Shen Tian bellowed, and eye-blinding radiance exploded from within him.
His extraordinary items' power merged as he circulated his God of War Transformation cultivation technique.
The Five Elements vitalized each other, so they gradually became one.
The extraordinary items' power circulated in Shen Tian's body, which made him overflow with colorful light, and his aura had increased endlessly.
Instantly, a lock of hair stood up on his head.
The golden light Shen Tian emitted became even brighter, and the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage power was unleashed to the maximum.
At that instant, Shen Tian seemed to be truly a God of War that had descended.
Both his appearance and battle prowess had reached the extreme!
Shen Tian took a deep breath before looking toward the Lotus Thearch.
"Senior, please advise me!"

Chapter 400: Primordial Age Thearch, Terrifying!
The Lotus Thearch felt like he was being assaulted on all fronts and was on the verge of a breakdown as he looked at the boundless avatar and felt Shen Tian's terrifying aura.
Even though he had seen his fair share of extraordinary prodigies, he had never seen someone as freakishly powerful as him!
Cultivation level at the Nirvana realm but exuding an aura that was akin to a Sage's?
Across all five regions and all of history, no one had ever been able to do that!
There had been cases of Nirvana practitioners defeating Heavenly Venerables. It was not that uncommon. A very talented prodigy could do that.
I can also accept it if you tell me that a Heavenly Venerable can defeat a Sage. After all, there are Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerables.
But a Nirvana practitioner defeating a Sage?
I can easily conjure a Lotus Thearch Trigram Fist with the flip of my hand!
Everyone is beneath me!
Those below the Tribulation Transcendence stage are just insignificant ants to me!
The difference between a Nirvana practitioner and a Sage is extremely wide. It's as wide as the gulf between heaven and earth. Insurmountable!
But now, the Lotus Thearch really wished to give himself one tight slap to wake himself up.
Don't tell me I have been in hibernation for too long, and my eyes don't work properly anymore?
This aura...
Pfffttt~
Why do I feel a sense of panic?
Shen Tian looked at the Lotus Thearch and stepped forward. As he strode forward, his avatars followed suit. Divine beasts roared, and the earth shook.
With every single step he took, even the fabrics of space could not bear the pressure of his power. It started to collapse.
Shen Tian's current aura was already at peak levels. He wanted to activate his most powerful state to battle this Thearch. To see who would win!
"Sky-Smashing Palm!"
Shen Tian gave a low shout as he raised his right hand. The extraordinary items' power surged toward it and erupted in a dazzling light.
A massive handprint over a thousand feet wide appeared in mid-air. The Five Elements swirled around it as it exuded a hair-raising aura.
The massive handprint suddenly shot out and covered the entire sky in an instant. The immense pressure was like a divine army had descended.
"My friend—"
The Lotus Thearch wanted to say something along the lines of "we should espouse peace and harmony" or "a gentleman uses his mouth and not his fists", but the massive handprint was already coming straight down, its aura shaking the entire region!
Boom!
A loud boom rang out!
The surrounding fabrics of space collapsed, revealing large patches of the void. The laws of nature had been completely disrupted, and those holes failed to mend on their own.
The Lotus Thearch was instantly smashed.
The mighty force of that single strike was just mind-blowing!
After watching the Lotus Thearch disintegrate after his strike, Shen Tian scratched his head innocently.
A great Thearch... Smashed to death just like that by a single smack?
Yeap, battle trick. This must be some battle trick!
Rumble!
Suddenly the fabrics of space shook violently, and a green aura rose.
A green lotus blossomed in mid-air and exuded intensely powerful vitality. As the green lotus bloomed, a green figure strode out of the flower's center.
It was the Lotus Thearch, and he looked rather... pallid.
"Young man, you are so immoral. You carried out a sneak attack on a 10,000-year-old senior citizen like me.
"According to traditional sparring rules, both parties have to be prepared before the battle starts.
"You made your move before we announced the battle had started. I was too careless and didn't duck.
"But according to the rules, that was not right. Young man, don't do that next time."
As if feeling rather embarrassed, the Lotus Thearch turned slightly red as he nagged.
Shen Tian scratched his head. "Senior, I already said earlier—"
The Lotus Thearch snorted. "I wasn't ready just now! The earlier round doesn't count. We will fight again when I am ready."
Are you kidding? How can I possibly acknowledge such a thing?
He was a great Thearch. How could this Nirvana kid destroy one of his clones?
Won't it be a great loss of face for me if news of this got out?
"Kid, I am going to be serious now. If you know what's good for you, you better give it your all!"
In order to regain his dignity, the Lotus Thearch was prepared to get serious this time. His aura blazed again with a green flame, and a 12th Stage Lotus avatar erupted behind him.
The boundless lotus morphed into a green divine light and shot toward Shen Tian.
"Pay close attention. This is my ultimate move. Red Fire Burns the Sky!"
The Lotus Thearch hollered as the green flame inside his body erupted and barreled into the skies.
The scorching green flames morphed into a giant flaming lotus. It engulfed the entire space as if going to incinerate everything here. This was a magic flame created by the Lotus Thearch's peerless cultivation. He had cultivated it for 10,000 years, and its power was on par with the Exceptional Fires.
"Just in time!"
Shen Tian's eyes glowed as his Connate Heavenly Dao Eye activated. It was like he wanted to analyze the move.
"Phoenix Descends from the Heavens!"
A scorching Phoenix avatar suddenly appeared behind Shen Tian. It was a thousand feet high and very magnificent.
At the same time, the Nan Ming Li Fire and True Sun Fire surged powerfully as they swirled around the Phoenix avatar.
This made the Phoenix avatar appear even more formidable and mighty!
Thereafter, the Phoenix spread open its wings and descended from the heavens to collide with the green flame.
The entire sky was lit in fire.
A tremendous booming sound rang out, shattering the fabrics of space as fire incinerated it all. The entire sky became like a sea of fire, burning and searing.
"Young man, your fire energy is pretty potent!
"That's youth for you. I am sure you don't usually exert that much fire, right?
"Continue this way. Let me tell you, preserve your pure Yang body and cultivate to become stronger.
"For example, I am already 10,000 years old, but I still practice my Sky-Propping Pillar technique every morning right after I wake up."
The Lotus Thearch's constant chatter echoed across the endless fire.
Yeap, he was blabbering to cover his own shock and avoid being embarrassed.
It must be said that not only was Shen Tian's battle prowess astonishing, but his mastery of fire had also surpassed the Lotus Thearch's expectations.
And the fires in Shen Tian's control were Exceptional Fires.
One of them was even the True Sun Fire, ranked second on the Exceptional Fire List. It was extremely powerful.
After being enhanced by the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra, the Nan Ming Li Fire and True Sun Fire powers had been pushed to the maximum. Moreover, there was a third Exceptional Fire inside Shen Tian's body. The Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame!
Although it was just a small flame now, its power was likewise extraordinary.
The three Exceptional Fires together made a very formidable team. Even the Thearch's green flame was unable to fend against them and kept shrinking.
Meanwhile, the Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame inside Shen Tian's body grew increasingly stronger as it engulfed the Thearch's green flame!
Boom!
The fire dissipated after a loud boom rang out.
The Lotus Thearch quickly drew back the rest of the green flames. He looked very pained.
"My green flame!"
He never expected that more than half of his green flame, which he had cultivated for 10,000 years, would end up being consumed in this battle. If he hadn't withdrawn in time, the rest of his green flame would end up as fodder for the Exceptional Fires.
The Lotus Thearch couldn't help grumbling on the inside.
Never mind that you have three Exceptional Fires. You can even merge all three together to produce an even more powerful effect!?
What kind of flame would be able to hold itself against such power?
So unreasonable!
This kid didn't come to participate in the test. He is here to provoke me!
Sob~
"Lotus Heavenly Transformation!"
As powerful as Shen Tian was, the Lotus Thearch still had an image to maintain.
He was a great Thearch! How could he lose to a junior!
The Lotus Thearch struck again. His 12th Stage Lotus avatar surged wildly, covering the entire sky.
This was the lotus power of the Lotus Thearch.
It was rumored that the Lotus Thearch had once been a lotus 10,000 years ago. He had managed to transcend and transform into a great Thearch.
This lotus power was his most powerful and most fundamental power.
The Lotus Thearch was going all out now. The entire sky and earth were immersed in flames.
"Scoundrel, watch out!"
As the Lotus Thearch spoke, he activated his lotus power, which pressed down heavily on the earth.
The 12th Stage Lotus expanded and surged, and tens of thousands of light beams shot out in all directions.
The skies were slashed by those light beams, exposing large patches of the void.
Every single beam was created by the lotus power to form multiple lotuses, all descending from the sky.
These lotuses were exceptionally beautiful but also possessed a terrifying force.
At that moment, heaven and earth underwent a major transformation!
Across the endless skies, there were only lotuses, claiming their stake in the vaults of heaven!
Shen Tian's Connate Heavenly Dao Eyes sparkled as he witnessed this scene. A divine light shot out of those eyes.
I was pressed down by that Immortal Phoenix Queen for half a month previously, and I already feel so aggrieved by that.
But that is the Sage-level Immortal Phoenix Queen, after all. I could not resist.
'Now, you wish to suppress me, even though we are at the same level?
No way!
No way in hell!
"I was born free. Who dares to stand on top of me?"
Shen Tian clenched his fist, and light burst out.
A massive hammer appeared in his hand. Its aura was so mighty that it shook the entire region!
"Senior Lotus Thearch, be careful. I am going to give my all now!"
Shen Tian straightened his body, and his aura sparkled like the stars in the galaxy.
Rays of silver-white light swirled around the massive hammer, making it look like a silver sun. It smashed mightily toward the lotus in the air.
"Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers: Star-Smashing Hammer!"
Shen Tian hollered as his hammer radiated with terrifying power. It was like a divine mountain from ancient times. It smashed straight into the lotus in the sky.
Boom!
A thunderous boom shook the skies!
The hammer and lotus collided, erupting with boundless divine energy.
That colossal lotus started to dissipate from the immense pressure.
At that moment, the fabrics of space started to disintegrate, releasing a terrifying amount of energy.
This test space was being shattered. Even the heavens would sit up and take note now.
"Brother Shen has reappeared!"
Shi Linglong called out softly inside the tomb. Her test had ended much earlier, and she had been waiting for a long time.
Shi Linglong felt a great sense of joy and relief upon seeing Shen Tian reappear. However, her petite mouth formed an "O" shape when she noticed the ravaged remnants of space because of his battle.
"Brother Shen is so awesome! Even Senior Lotus Thearch cannot subdue him!"
Shi Linglong was very shocked. She had gone through the test earlier, so she was well aware of just how powerful the Lotus Thearch was.
Even though he had been suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage, Shi Linglong had not been able to beat him.
Shi Linglong had been defeated within just a hundred moves.
On top of that, during the entire sparring, the Lotus Thearch had been giving her pointers. His main goal had not been to defeat her. Otherwise, Shi Linglong would probably have been defeated within 10 moves.
The Thearch's battle prowess and experience were just too great!
It was clear that Shen Tian had been able to hold himself well against the Lotus Thearch's clone. Evidently, his power was such that he could even rule the world now.
"Brother Shen, go for it!"
Shi Linglong cheered as she transformed into Shen Tian's fangirl.
Upon noticing something, Shi Linglong was somewhat curious. "This clone of Senior Lotus Thearch... Why is it so much more powerful than the one from my test!?"
"This kid becomes stronger the more he battles?"
Meanwhile, the battle continued to rage, and the Lotus Thearch cursed wildly.
He personally controlled the 12th Stage Lotus and could clearly feel just how powerful the hammer was. Its power was enough to shatter the skies and churn the seas. It was an immensely destructive power.
Even when giving his all, the Lotus Thearch felt somewhat unable to hold on.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian's desire to battle surged. It had been a long time since he had engaged in such an exciting battle.
This was a rare chance to fight against a same-level Thearch!
Moreover, Shen Tian wanted to see just how far his limits went!
"Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers—Moon-Lifting Hammer!"
"Blazing Sun Hammer!"
"Clear Sky Hammer!"
"Wild Wind Hammer!"
"Dragon's Hammer!"
Hammer after hammer, Shen Tian dialed up the intensity of his strikes to the maximum.
Supported by the God of War Transformation, his battle prowess was now enough to suppress a Sage who had undergone three tribulations.
Even if against a True Sage, who had undergone four tribulations, he would probably also be able to hold his ground.
Rumble!
The mighty and indomitable hammer was as terrifying as the sun. It descended from the skies and smashed down on the Lotus Thearch.
"Lotus Cauldron!"
Feeling the fearsome power of Shen Tian's attack, the Lotus Thearch had no time to think about anything else. The lotus in the sky transformed into a great green-colored cauldron. It sat there in mid-air, completely covering the sky.
A blazing green fire burned inside the cauldron, and the flames formed the faint images of countless lotuses. It was like a divine cauldron that was brewing some peerless elixir!
Light from the green cauldron shone down on the Lotus Thearch, forming a solid green cauldron avatar in front of him, steadfastly protecting him.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Tremendous clanging sounds echoed through the air.
Terrifying energy waves spread out across the area, dispelling the green aura which had engulfed the space.
Two figures were revealed, both still standing in mid-air and exuding indomitable energy.
Shen Tian's Ocean Divine Hammer was still giving off a faint hum as if it was still excited from the earlier fight.
However, the Lotus Thearch looked somewhat stiff.
This kid is so freakish! Is he on drugs? If I didn't secretly raise my cultivation level to peak Soul Formation stage, I would not have been able to hold myself at all.
The Lotus Thearch started to have doubts as to the meaning of life now. He alone knew just how terrifying Shen Tian's powers were. If he had restrained his clone's cultivation level to the Nascent Soul stage, he would have been destroyed by Shen Tian in one move.
And even though he had raised his cultivation level to peak Soul Formation stage, the Lotus Thearch still had not had the slightest advantage.
It should be pointed out that the Lotus Thearch's current battle prowess was enough to easily defeat a normal Sage who had undergone three tribulations.
But in front of Shen Tian, he could barely survive.
More importantly, this kid seemed very untamed. The moment the Lotus Thearch had revealed the slightest intention to "subdue" him, he would be met with the most aggressive and uncontrolled retaliation.
The Lotus Thearch was nearly at breaking point as the hammer repeatedly landed upon him.
This kid is able to beat a sage while at the Nirvana realm! The Lotus Thearch shook his head. Even though I didn't win, luckily, I didn't lose either. I just managed to maintain my dignity.
The battle had not ended yet, however.
Shen Tian shook his head as he gazed at the colossal green cauldron.
Not even a single crack appeared despite over 100 hammer strikes!
This made Shen Tian feel that he was not powerful enough.
"In that case, I have no choice but to use my trump card."
Shen Tian took a deep breath, and his eyes glowed even more fiercely.
At that moment, the power of all the extraordinary items surged into his body and toward the Executing Heaven Sword inside his lungs.
Clang!
The bright, clear ring of a sword rang out.
A blood-red blade light erupted as if it was going to slice the skies in half.
Under the crimson glow, a blood-red sword appeared in Shen Tian's hand.
The moment the sword was drawn, Shen Tian looked like an almighty Sword Immortal. His aura was sharp and harsh to the extreme.
The sword aura easily sliced through the fabrics of space, disintegrating it to nothing.
Behind him, a boundless sword aura surged right up to the heavens.
A 10,000 sword avatar appeared as limitless sword intent swirled around it.
The limitless sword intent gathered to form a magnificent giant sword hovering over the earth as if about to slice the entire world in half!
Shen Tian's already-powerful aura went up another level with the appearance of this Executing Heaven Sword.
The Lotus Thearch shuddered at the sight.
This kid still has a trump card!?
The corners of the Lotus Thearch's mouth twitched wildly. Shen Tian's earlier attack already had him under immense pressure.
That's not all?
That's not all!?
Are you the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao?
"Stop! No more fighting!"
The Lotus Thearch hurriedly shouted for Shen Tian to stop. If they continued fighting, he would have to activate his Sage-level power just to hold on.
"Senior, what's the matter?"
Shen Tian kept his Executing Heaven Sword, the terrifying sword intent gradually fading off.
"Your powers are pretty good. I am only the remnants of a divine consciousness and cannot display my full powers.
"But it is already a rare feat for you to be able to fight on par with my current state.
"I think you are probably not far off from when I was younger.
"To be able to be on par with me at the same level, you are already considered very good."
The Lotus Thearch's face flushed slightly red as he looked at Shen Tian.
Are you kidding me? Do you really think I will fight a Nirvana practitioner using my Sage powers?
That would be so embarrassing! I still need to maintain my dignity!
The Lotus Thearch gave an inward sigh of exasperation and self-mockery.
Well...
The main reason was that the Lotus Thearch was afraid of exposing himself.
If he did battle as a Sage-level practitioner, he would definitely incur Sage-level arts, and that would be very difficult to hide. It would be very obvious.
If anyone found out that a great Thearch had to use Sage-level powers to fight a Nirvana cultivator...
It would be a great loss of face to the Lotus Thearch!
Shen Tian muttered to himself after listening to the Lotus Thearch's words, "I am indeed not powerful enough!
"Didn't expect the Thearch to be so powerful during his younger days.
"Looks like I must work harder at cultivation!"
Princess Linglong had a very strange expression on her face.
Brother Shen's battle with Senior Lotus Thearch looked like a sage-level one!
Fighting on par with a Sage while at the Nirvana realm? This is like a level-1 hero beating a level-15 opponent. Unimaginable!
As far as Princess Linglong knew, she had never heard stories of the Thearch being so powerful when he was young.
Anyway, she really couldn't be sure. After all, the Lotus Thearch was from the Primordial Age.
What did the Primordial Age 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.
Most of the books and legacies left behind in this world now were from within 10,000 years ago. And those from ancient times were already considered very precious.
Not to mention items from the Primordial Age. Most of those legacies had already been erased by the sands of time.
Even the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty did not have a good understanding of the Primordial Age.
At least, Princess Linglong did not have much of an opportunity to come into contact with things from the Primordial and Antiquity Ages.
But was the young Thearch from the Primordial Age really that powerful?
Princess Linglong still felt that...
It was rather unbelievable!

Chapter 401: Lotus Thearch's Inheritance, Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!
"I hereby announce that the test has officially ended!"
As if afraid that Shen Tian would continue to attack, the Lotus Thearch hurriedly announced the end of the third round.
Only then did Shen Tian withdraw the half-drawn Executing Heaven Sword back into his lungs with dissatisfaction.
Sigh, I have just taken it out. Why did it end so quickly?
It felt like I didn't have a good time.
The Lotus Thearch's eyes were filled with emotions as he looked at Shen Tian and Shi Linglong.
He had earned a lot from this!
Although the process had been a little "bumpy", he was still very satisfied with the final outcome. He had not expected that he would encounter such a talented successor during the opening of the tomb after 100,000 years.
Both Shen Tian and Shi Linglong were very compatible with the inheritance of the Alchemy Dao!
Princess Linglong's foundation was already top-tier, and coupled with her extraordinary perception, she had learned a total of 49 alchemy techniques in just three days.
Furthermore, she had even obtained the Lotus Thearch's true inheritance during the final test.
As such, she could be considered half a successor to the Lotus Thearch.
As for Shen Tian, needless to say, this brat was completely a monster.
Even though the Lotus Thearch was one of the top geniuses of the five regions, he had never seen someone with such terrifying talent.
Even an Immortal King would doubt their life when they encountered Shen Tian!
"Since all of you have passed the test left behind by me, you can obtain my inheritance. I hope that all of you will focus on your cultivation and bring my legacy to greater heights. I hope that all of you will help contribute to this world."
Before the Lotus Thearch had ascended, he had been known as a savior to many. Even though he had already ascended, he did not want his inheritance to fall into desolation.
"I will definitely bring Senior's alchemy skills to greater heights and help the common people. I will not let Senior down!"
Shen Tian and Shi Linglong cupped their hands and spoke solemnly.
Toward this publicly acknowledged number one alchemist, they had nothing but respect for him. There were very few people who could stay true to themselves in this chaotic world!
It was even rarer for one to care about the lives of mortals in troubled times.
The Lotus Thearch was worthy of their respect!
"I'm glad that you guys have such a disposition."
The Lotus Thearch nodded. He began to announce the rewards that the two of them had obtained with a benevolent expression.
"Shi Linglong has received a high evaluation from the three tests. She can thus obtain half of my sutra and a top-tier Sage herb."
The Lotus Thearch flicked his sleeves as a streak of green light entered Shi Linglong's body.
It had to be said that the Lotus Thearch was quite generous.
There were two main classics in his legacies—the Lotus Thearch's Hundred Herb Sutra and the Lotus Thearch's Pill Mystic Sutra.
The Lotus Thearch's Hundred Herb Sutra recorded the appearance, medicinal properties, habitable environment, and cultivation methods of almost all the rare herbs in the five regions in detail.
Just by relying on the information recorded in it, not only would one be able to cultivate top-tier spirit medicines with half the effort, but they would also be able to cultivate them with twice the results.
In fact, with this sutra, one would even have a higher chance of finding supreme-grade Sage herbs in mystic realms.
As for the Lotus Thearch's Pill Mystic Sutra, it not only recorded the Lotus Thearch's alchemy experience, but it also contained a secret technique that used alchemy to increase one's cultivation level.
Not only did it contain an alchemy technique, but it was also a cultivation technique, not weaker than any imperial sutras!
Sensing the inherited memories that appeared in her mind, Shi Linglong's heart skipped a beat as she said happily, "Thank you, Senior Lotus Thearch."
As the Celestial Dynasty's princess, how could Shi Linglong not know what these two inheritances meant?
The reason the Lotus Thearch was able to become the number one alchemy emperor was closely related to these two sutras.
Now, just obtaining the first half of these two inheritances was enough to excite Shi Linglong.
In time, if she could fully comprehend the two half sutras, her alchemy skills would reach the peak in the five regions.
Half of a sutra was enough to create a supreme cultivator that excelled in alchemy.
This was the ability of the number one alchemy Thearch!
Furthermore, the reward given by the Lotus Thearch included a sage herb.
A beam of light descended from the sky, bringing with it an incomparably intense vitality as if it could revive all living things.
Spiritual energy flourished, making this world feel as if a sea of spiritual energy surrounded it.
The light slowly descended and hovered in Shi Linglong's hand, revealing its true appearance. It was a lotus seed, completely golden in color as if it was made from gold. It was releasing incomparably powerful vitality.
Surging vitality coiled around the lotus seed, and it drew out the phenomena of numerous azure lotuses surrounding it. The scene seemed extremely miraculous, and it was obvious with a single glance that it was a top-grade Sage herb.
"This lotus seed was produced by a 12th Stage Lotus. Its effects are equivalent to a Sage herb. You can also plant it with care, and perhaps it might even become a new lotus."
The Lotus Thearch slowly explained the origins of this golden lotus seed.
Shi Linglong nodded and carefully put away the lotus seed.
Top-grade Sage herbs were extremely precious, not even inferior to Sage artifacts.
If it was spread to the outside world, it would cause a commotion in the five regions. Even Sages would be tempted by it.
As soon as the lotus seed entered her hands, an incomparably abundant spiritual aura immediately surged into her body, causing divine aura to blossom on her, appearing extremely mystical.
It was as if she would immediately become an immortal upon consuming this lotus seed.
However, Shi Linglong knew that only by refining it into a spirit pill could it unleash its full potential. Thus, Shi Linglong suppressed the impulse in her heart and put away the lotus seed.
Seeing this, the Lotus Thearch nodded slightly.
If one could not even resist the temptation of a Sage herb, how could one talk about reaching the pinnacle of alchemy?
Then, the Lotus Thearch turned to look at Shen Tian.
Shen Tian was indifferently looking at the lotus seed with no hint of desire in his eyes.
This also caused the Lotus Thearch's evaluation of Shen Tian to secretly increase.
This Sage herb would tempt even Sages, yet he was completely unmoved.
Merely this sort of disposition was sufficient to move one's heart.
However, what the Lotus Thearch didn't know was that Shen Tian had a basket of such Sage herbs in his pocket.
Well, using the term "basket" didn't seem appropriate.
The term "baskets" would be more appropriate.
If it weren't for the fact that he was sick of eating too much of such Sage herbs, Shen Tian's desire for alchemy skills wouldn't have been so urgent. After all, if he were to change the taste and ingredients, the supplements he consumed would be more delicious.
It was basically hopeless to expect Shen Tian to drool over the lotus seed.
After all, would one drool over the radishes all over one's vegetable field?
Of course, the Lotus Thearch didn't know how rich Shen Tian was.
He took a deep breath and slowly spoke to Shen Tian.
"Little friend's talent is peerless, even surpassing little girl Linglong's.
"Over the course of tens of thousands of years, there have been only a handful of people with talent like yours.
"Of course, your talent is only slightly worse than when I was young."
The Lotus Thearch's face turned red as he said this, but he quickly concealed it.
"Young friend, you have received an extremely high evaluation in all three tests and are thus able to obtain all of my inheritance and treasures."
At this point, the Lotus Thearch was stunned.
Although he spoke stubbornly, the Lotus Thearch was already convinced by Shen Tian.
Regardless of whether it was his physique, talent, or battle prowess, Shen Tian had completely surpassed that of the Lotus Thearch's imagination.
Thus, the Lotus Thearch decided to impart everything he had to Shen Tian.
He felt that Shen Tian's future was limitless. Perhaps he could walk an unprecedented and limitless path that no one had taken!
If that was the case, handing his inheritance to Shen Tian would be a good thing.
Perhaps 10,000 years later, his alchemy skills would be glorified and passed down in the five regions or even the Celestial World!
At that thought, the Lotus Thearch raised his hand, and another green light entered Shen Tian's body.
It also contained the Lotus Thearch's sutras, but Shen Tian's inheritance was the complete Pill Mystic Sutra and Hundred Herb Sutra.
Compared to the inheritance that Princess Linglong received, Shen Tian's was even more perfect and precious.
Although it was only the addition of the second half of the sutras, its value was completely different from merely the incomplete first half.
After all, there was a huge difference between a complete imperial sutra and an incomplete one. It could even be ten times stronger.
After sensing the new memories in his mind, Shen Tian's eyes dimmed.
He already knew the uses of these two sutras.
These two sutras were meant to complement each other. The former could create countless supreme-grade treasured herbs.
On the other hand, the latter was able to combine these precious herbs through alchemy, allowing the medicinal effects to be fully maximized.
If this was spread in a sacred ground, it would not take long for said sacred ground's strength to increase greatly!
It had to be said that he really did need these things.
With these sutras, Shen Tian could better strengthen... the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Just imagine this, if the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground obtained the sutras, they could establish a structured industrial chain that allowed them to plant Sage herbs and cultivate pills to aid the disciples' cultivation.
At that time, the endless supply of pills would allow the disciples' strength to increase tremendously.
When the disciples' strength increased, they could then go out to search for resources and hand them over to the sacred ground in exchange for more spirit pills, using them to repay the sacred ground.
This was all interconnected and would form a complete ecosystem by itself.
It would definitely increase the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's strength greatly, far exceeding that of the other sacred grounds!
Shen Tian could also use this opportunity to start his sheep fleecing plan.
After all, it was better to grow the sheep well before fleecing them.
Shen Tian cupped his hands and replied, "Thank you, Senior Lotus Thearch!" The Lotus Thearch's inheritance was indeed a good thing for him.
"My legacy is far more than that."
The Lotus Thearch was very pleased to see Shen Tian accept the inheritance.
"This is my Lotus Token. It can be used to control Penglai Island's array formation."
The Lotus Thearch took out a green token and handed it to Shen Tian.
"Senior Lotus Thearch, this Lotus Token..."
Shen Tian scratched his head. This Lotus Token didn't seem to be of much use, and he was not one who collected tokens.
At present, Penglai Island seemed to be in dire straits. Even its spirit veins had been forcibly taken away by someone. The Spirit Qi had dried up, and it had become a scene of desolation.
As if sensing Shen Tian's thoughts, the Lotus Thearch raised his white beard. "Don't underestimate Penglai Island! Before I ascended, I left behind a shocking spirit refining array on Penglai Island. At that time, Penglai Island was at its peak. Even the Thearchs didn't dare to step into it."
Upon saying that, the Lotus Thearch's face was filled with pride.
Although he was the number one Alchemist Thearch 100,000 years ago, this did not mean that the Lotus Thearch's battle prowess was weak.
On the contrary, the Lotus Thearch's strongest offensive strength lay in his ability to craft array formations.
If one wanted to refine pills, they had to use various alchemy techniques to draw out different formations and smelt the ingredients into pills.
Only then could the medicinal properties of the pills be stimulated to the extreme.
Therefore, the Lotus Thearch was not only the number one Alchemist Thearch but also an array formation expert.
"Senior Lotus Thearch, why did Penglai Island end up like this?"
According to the Lotus Thearch, Penglai Island once had a heaven-shaking array formation. If so, ordinary thieves would not dare to even invade it.
When he had entered Penglai Island, he had indeed seen traces of the array. It was just that it was damaged and no longer possessed any power.
But what exactly caused Penglai Island's array formation to shatter?
The Lotus Thearch's face turned slightly red as he said, "This was just an accident!"
"If this Thearch hadn't left for some matters back then and hadn't taken charge of Penglai, why would I..."
At this point, the Lotus Thearch's eyes could not help but throb.
It was evident that an earth-shattering battle had taken place on Penglai Island. Even the Lotus Thearch's array formation had been shattered.
"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about the past." The Lotus Thearch said calmly, "Although Penglai Island can be said to be desolate, my tomb is still intact. If you encounter an invincible existence in the future, you can come to my tomb to hide. Not even ordinary Thearchs can break through this place."
The Lotus Thearch's tomb was his proudest creation. It was located in the deep sea hundreds of thousands of feet below and hadn't been discovered for 100,000 years. It could absolutely be called breathtaking.
Shen Tian nodded slightly as he caressed the Lotus Token in his hand. A myriad of thoughts ran through his mind.
Even though Penglai Island had been abandoned, it was still an immortal island.
Since it was an island, he should properly develop it and make it useful.
The outside world had rumors saying that Penglai Island was a utopia. If I were to modify this place and advertise it, wouldn't the beach, coconuts, yachts, and bikinis attract a lot of attention?
At that time, I will develop it to become a tourist spot and sell some spirit pills. Wouldn't I earn a fortune then? Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Good idea, let's do it!
Anyway, Immortal Abode Island will also be developed in such a manner.
In that case, I will become the owner of two islands!
Double the number of islands means double the happiness!
Awesome!
"These two items were used by me in the past to fan the flames and refine pills. I'm giving them to you now, lad."
The Lotus Thearch took out two more items, a cauldron, and a fan.
However, they were no ordinary cauldron or fan.
The cauldron was completely dark green, and it was inscribed with numerous divine markings that were filled with exuberant vitality.
It was as if life was flowing within the divine markings, and it seemed extremely mysterious.
The fan, on the other hand, was incomparably large. It was gilded and had the shape of a banana leaf.
Similarly, there were also divine patterns of the great Dao engraved on it, emitting an incomparably fierce aura. Even the surrounding void was distorted!
These were the two pseudo-Thearch artifacts that the Lotus Thearch had left in the five regions when he ascended. They were the Lotus Thearch Cauldron and the Banana Fan.
Ever since the Lotus Thearch had been born, the Lotus Thearch Cauldron had been fighting alongside him for many years. It had refined countless spirit pills and had also absorbed the essence of numerous living things, allowing this cauldron to give birth to an aura filled with life.
If one were to use this cauldron to refine spirit pills, their success rate would greatly increase. It could even increase the spirit pills' effects!
This was considered a precious treasure for alchemists!
The Banana Fan was equally impressive. It had been created by the Lotus Thearch when he had visited the Kunlun Mystic Realm. He had obtained a heaven-and-earth spirit treasure with his supreme cultivation at that point in time and used it to craft the fan.
This treasure he had obtained was the Moon Essence Leaf, which possessed great divine might.
Shen Tian did not expect that the Lotus Thearch would even take out these two pseudo-Thearch artifacts. This was truly a pleasant surprise for him.
Shen Tian hadn't seen these things when Shi Linglong was getting her rewards.
"Kid, there's something I need you to complete."
The Lotus Thearch stepped forward again and looked at Shen Tian with a hopeful look.
At this point, Shen Tian finally understood why the Lotus Thearch was so generous.
Not only did he give him the lotus token, but he had also given him two pseudo-Thearch artifacts!
So it turns out that he had something to ask of me!
"Senior, please speak. This junior will definitely do his best."
Shen Tian was too embarrassed to refuse.
Furthermore, the Lotus Thearch had always been benevolent and compassionate.
He probably wouldn't make any dangerous requests that would risk my life.
"I still have a Thearch herb here with me."
After the Lotus Thearch finished speaking, he took a 12th Stage Lotus out of his sleeve.
The lotus gave off a phenomenon similar to when he had given Shi Linglong the seed earlier. It also contained a surging aura.
Endless rays of light coiled around the lotus, and it seemed like a supreme treasure that was born from the chaos.
The appearance of the 12th Stage Lotus caused the entire tomb to be filled with intense vitality. It instantly seemed to be brimming with divinity and refreshed the mind.
Green light rushed into the heavens, covering the heavens and earth and making the surroundings sink into endless radiance.
As expected of a Thearch herb, just the rare phenomenon it produced was shocking enough!
Even Shen Tian was a little dazed.
After all, he did not have such a grade of a herb in his collection.
Yes, I want to eat it!
The Lotus Thearch looked at the 12th Stage Lotus in his hand and sighed.
"Initially, I wanted to use this 12th Stage Lotus to refine a supreme spirit pill—the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!
"Unfortunately, the refinement requirements for it were extremely difficult. It can only be refined by a supreme divine fire that is contaminated with chaotic aura.
"Back then, I went to the chaos ocean to try to refine a stream of chaotic aura.
"However, in the end, I still failed. This has since been my lifelong regret.
"You have a unique physique and can even store chaotic aura in your body.
"Therefore, I sincerely hope that one day, you will be able to refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill."
At this point, the Lotus Thearch's sigh grew louder.
How could he easily control the forbidden chaotic aura?
When the Lotus Thearch had used his supreme cultivation to refine the chaotic aura, he had nearly been severely injured by it.
For tens of thousands of years, he had been unable to get over it.
However, although the Lotus Thearch saw a sliver of a chance with Shen Tian's appearance, he didn't dare to have too much hope.
Being able to contain chaotic aura in one's body and refining it were two completely different concepts.
The difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The Lotus Thearch only hoped that Shen Tian would one day be able to refine the chaotic aura and refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
After all, given Shen Tian's freakish physique, perhaps he could create a miracle?
This could also fulfill his lifelong wish.
However, when Shen Tian heard the Lotus Thearch's words, his expression turned strange.
How could such a simple matter be delayed?
"Senior Lotus Thearch, I have the confidence to refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill now."
Shen Tian was brimming with confidence, but the Lotus Thearch looked doubtful.
"Kid, don't try to show off. Refining the chaotic aura is no joke. Although you have a unique physique that allows you to store chaotic aura, refining it is not so easy. Otherwise, if you were to suffer the backlash from the chaotic aura, your body might even be destroyed—"
Before the Lotus Thearch could finish speaking, Shen Tian slowly extended his hand as a silvery-white light swirled out.
The light was hazy and seemed ordinary, but it also emitted a shocking aura.
The light was clearly the chaotic aura.
"How is this possible... How can this kid control the chaotic aura!?"
Even though the Lotus Thearch had a stable mentality, he was still shocked when he saw the chaotic aura.
It couldn't be helped. This was simply too frightening.
Since ancient times, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to control the chaotic aura. There were no records of it in the ancient books.
The Lotus Thearch had also guessed from the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill that there might have been more powerful existences who had successfully refined the chaotic aura in the distant Primordial Era.
If not for this, such a pill recipe would definitely not have been left behind.
However, it was just a guess. There was no basis for it.
But now, Shen Tian was able to perfectly control the chaotic aura without letting any leak out.
While the Lotus Thearch was shocked, he was also filled with anticipation.
If Shen Tian could really control the chaotic aura and supplement it with the three powerful exceptional fires in his body...
Doesn't that mean that there is really a chance he can refine the supreme pill?
My lifelong wish is about to be fulfilled in front of my own eyes!?

Chapter 402: The Number One Alchemist Thearch Turned Autistic Today!
Shen Tian sat cross-legged in the tomb. He held an ancient pill recipe in his hand as golden light flickered in his eyes.
The Connate Heavenly Dao Eye focused on the pill formula and saw through all illusions, solving all the mysteries of the pill formula.
It was clear that right now, Shen Tian planned to refine the unmatched pill, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
According to the Lotus Thearch, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill originated from the Antiquity Age and was created by a supreme being from ancient times.
Ever since the Antiquity Age, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill had never reappeared in this world.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Lotus Thearch was in control of this pill recipe, everyone would think that it was fake and a scam. After all, the refinement requirements for the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill were too harsh.
Even the number one Alchemist Thearch of 100,000 years ago could not refine it, let alone those in the mortal world.
However, this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill possessed miraculous effects!
Rumor had it that the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was a pill that defied the heavens and changed one's fate. It could seize the fortune of the heavens and the earth and invade the mysteries of the sun and moon. Even the Heavenly Dao didn't allow it to exist in this world!
Its function was to ignore everything to increase one's constitution and aptitude. It could make up for one's flaws and build a perfect constitution for one.
The root of one's bones and talent for comprehension were inherently fixed. It was very difficult to improve them.
All precious pills that could increase one's constitution and comprehension talent were considered rare treasures.
Moreover, the higher the cultivation of a cultivator, the more difficult it was to increase one's foundation and comprehension ability.
After all, after a building was built, it would be even more difficult to consolidate the foundation than before.
However, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill did not have such restrictions.
It could greatly increase the talent of even a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator.
One's cultivation base would not affect the pill's efficacy.
This was also its most monstrous aspect. After all, most of the precious spirit pills and even sacred medicines in the five regions could hardly raise the talent of cultivators above the Tribulation Transcendence stage. At most, they could only raise their cultivation slightly.
The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's appearance was to make up for the congenital deficiencies and allow one to become perfect.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it could absolutely be considered as defying the heavens and changing one's fate!
"I'd like to see just what's so special about this pill."
The light in Shen Tian's eyes became increasingly brilliant. With the help of the Connate Heavenly Dao Eye, even the pill formula from the Antiquity Age was easily comprehended by him.
Numerous phenomena suddenly arose behind Shen Tian, reflecting a terrifying might.
The Nan Ming Li Fire surged out and turned into a curtain of flames that covered the sky.
Beneath this curtain of fire, ten blazing golden suns rose up.
The True Sun Fire came out in full force, and the ten suns that covered the sky shook the heaven and earth, enveloping the surroundings under the endless scorching sun.
Not just that, but there was also a burst of scarlet light shooting out of Shen Tian's body.
A scarlet phoenix image spread its wings and soared into the sky, sweeping through the nine skies and revealing a phoenix image that spanned a thousand feet.
After the previous battle, the Indestructible Divine Phoenix Eternal Flame in Shen Tian's body had grown stronger and was not much weaker than the other two types of Exceptional Fires.
Three flames shot out at the same time, burning the space behind Shen Tian into nothingness and constructing an endless fire domain.
"Condense!" Shen Tian shouted and formed a hand seal.
Instantly, three blazing flames surged.
Dazzling flames covered the heavens, causing the heavens and the earth to fall into boundless flames. Even the void was burned by the three exceptional fires, revealing a terrifying dark void.
However, in the darkness, three flames rose up, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the surroundings.
Under Shen Tian's control, the three Exceptional Fires intertwined and slowly fused together.
An incomparably terrifying aura emitted from the flames, enough to burn a Heavenly Venerable to ashes.
In the end, everything calmed down.
The three-colored flame flickered incessantly in the air. It looked ordinary, but it contained an aura that could make even Sages palpitate.
But this was far from the end. This tri-colored flame alone was not enough.
If he wanted to refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, he had to use a supreme divine fire tainted by the chaotic aura.
Primal chaos energy flourished from Shen Tian's body, swirling around him and creating a hazy scene.
At that moment, Shen Tian's body became sparkling and translucent, as if it was carved from jade. Divine light radiated from his body, and dense multicolored light lingered in the air.
Under the control of the Connate Chaotic Body, the violent chaotic aura became extremely docile and was easily controlled by him!
Shen Tian's hand seals changed once again.
A chaotic aura erupted from the surface of his body and transformed into a silver-white waterfall that charged toward the three-colored flame.
Boom!
A loud sound of impact rang out!
Intense flames spewed out as the three-colored flame and chaotic aura coiled together, creating a terrifying phenomenon.
Outside the three-colored flame, the chaotic aura was like a huge abyssal mouth that swallowed all the flames.
Violent energy swept through heaven and earth, causing massive tracts of space to shatter and tear apart.
These were two extremely violent forces, and their collision could even shatter the sky!
"Suppress!"
Shen Tian let out a roar and controlled the chaotic aura to merge the three flames.
The chaotic aura instantly enveloped the three-colored flame, and the two fused together.
Finally, it formed an unprecedented flame.
It was still a three-colored flame. However, there was a layer of silver-white chaotic aura on its surface. It looked very magical.
However, the aura of the newborn flame was far more terrifying than before. Even the weaker Sages would be incinerated into ashes upon coming into contact with this flame.
"Finally done!"
Shen Tian withdrew his power and heaved a long sigh of relief.
Fusing the chaotic aura with his Exceptional Fires to form the Chaotic Exceptional Fire was not that simple. There was a great terror hidden within. Even the slightest bit of carelessness could trigger an outbreak of the Exceptional Fires or the chaotic aura, resulting in a terrifying backlash.
Only by balancing everything would he be able to completely control this power.
Thankfully, Shen Tian had a strong foundation, and he could control the chaotic aura completely with his Connate Chaotic Body.
By using the Chaotic Tinder Sutra to control the power of the three Exceptional Fires, one would be able to merge the primal chaotic aura with the three-colored flame and produce the Chaotic Exceptional Fire.
"That brat actually really did it!"
The Lotus Thearch's body trembled as he stared intently at the three-colored chaotic flame in front of Shen Tian, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
As the number one Alchemist Thearch, how could the Lotus Thearch not know what this flame meant?
This flame's power was limitless. It was able to instantly melt spirit herbs into their essence. Not only could it greatly reduce the smelting time, but it could also burn away all impurities and increase the purity of the spirit pill.
Most importantly, the Chaotic Exceptional Fire could allow the pill to have a hint of the chaotic spirit energy.
And this was also the key to allowing the cultivator who consumed the pill to defy the heavens, change their fate and raise their aptitude.
This flame was the dream of all alchemists!
Although the Lotus Thearch was experienced and knowledgeable, his eyes were still filled with envy when he saw the three-colored chaotic flame. If he had this kind of flame back then, his alchemy skills would definitely have improved by another level.
No, two levels!
Three levels!
Four levels!
Five levels!
Where did this lemony odor come from?
The Lotus Thearch's mouth twitched.
He suddenly felt his heart ache!
At that moment, a green light appeared before Shen Tian. The green light transformed into a gigantic cauldron that stood guard in the void and emitted a surging aura.
It was the Lotus Thearch Cauldron, the inheritance he had just gotten from the Lotus Thearch.
Although it was only a pseudo-Thearch artifact, as the Lotus Thearch had always been using it, it was definitely no less useful than a true Thearch artifact.
If this cauldron was used to refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, it could greatly increase the quality of the pill.
Even if he used the Divine Sun Cauldron to refine the pill, the effects might not be better than the Lotus Thearch Cauldron.
Moreover, the consumption of energy was incomparable to that of a pseudo-Thearch artifact.
Shen Tian didn't want to be emptied out by a Thearch artifact!
After all, he was feeling a little weak right now.
"Rise!"
Shen Tian waved his hand, and the Lotus Thearch Cauldron's lid shot into the sky. An azure light flashed past.
Then, the three-colored chaotic flame surged out and gathered in the Lotus Thearch Cauldron.
In that instant, the green cauldron became incomparably scarlet red, as if it was a piece of iron that was scorching to the extreme, the temperature incomparably terrifying.
However, as streaks of azure-green laws burst forth, the Lotus Thearch Cauldron's temperature dropped rapidly and returned to its original state.
Shen Tian's eyes lit up.
The Lotus Thearch Cauldron was definitely a good item. It could even control its own temperature. After all, it was a pseudo-Thearch artifact. Furthermore, it had been nurtured by the Lotus Thearch for 100,000 years and had been refined by 10,000 flames. It could be said to be indestructible.
If it were other cauldrons, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand the power of this chaotic tri-colored flame and would be blown up by the powerful force of it immediately upon contact.
Then, Shen Tian activated his storage ring and took several spirit herbs and Sage herbs out of it.
These were all the herbs that the Lotus Thearch had prepared 100,000 years ago for the refinement of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
As soon as these Spirit and Sage herbs appeared, extremely dense Spirit Qi filled the air. They were all extremely precious herbs.
Among them, there were many existences that weren't inferior to the green lotus seeds, causing Princess Linglong's eyes to be filled with envy.
Shen Tian, on the other hand, appeared indifferent. He still had a lot of pills and Sage herbs in his storage ring. He was sick of them.
The reason he wanted to learn alchemy was...
Hmm, he shall not say it anymore~
Moreover, when refining the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, these things were not the main ingredient. They were just the supplementary ingredients!
A huge pile of extremely precious Spirit and Sage herbs was thrown into the Lotus Thearch Cauldron.
Under the engulfment of the chaotic tri-colored flame, the herbs instantly melted and turned into a pool of extremely pure spirit liquid.
Under Shen Tian's precise control, the spirit liquid wasn't melted by the flames. Instead, it was continuously refined and purged of impurities.
At the same time, the endless mysterious power of laws imprinted itself on the spirit liquid, forming incomparably resplendent chaotic symbols, as if it could defy the heavens and change fate.
Upon seeing this, Shi Linglong couldn't help but cry out, "Brother Shen is so awesome!"
She also knew that Shen Tian had never been exposed to alchemy before and could be considered a newbie.
It was Shen Tian's first time refining pills.
However, the alchemy skills he displayed were not inferior to the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty's Alchemist Sages. In fact, he even surpassed them!
"Tch, it's all thanks to my guidance!" the Lotus Thearch said smugly and did not blush at all.
After inheriting the Lotus Thearch's inheritance, Shen Tian was considered half a successor to him.
Now that he had brought his legacy to greater heights, the Lotus Thearch felt extremely proud.
The spirit liquid was tempered to the point of being crystalline and translucent in next to no time, and there wasn't the slightest impurity left within it.
"Go!"
Shen Tian waved his hand, and the brilliant 12th Stage Lotus flew toward the Lotus Thearch Cauldron.
As soon as the lotus appeared, multicolored light overflowed and instantly interweaved with the chaotic three-colored flame.
A terrifying scene appeared in the Lotus Thearch Cauldron, causing the entire area to erupt with a violent aura.
This was a stalk of Thearch herb and was filled with endless power.
Even a mighty figure that had cultivated alchemy for thousands of years might not be able to smelt all of them.
However, Shen Tian's expression did not change. His hands danced rapidly and were filled with a mystical glow.
This was the Lotus Thearch's 108 Middle-Ranking Pill Refinement Technique. Under Shen Tian's control, it kept changing, forming, and inserting array formations into the Lotus Thearch Cauldron.
At that moment, Shen Tian was like an Alchemist Overlord, refining supreme pills with miraculous techniques.
Under Shen Tian's control, the Chaotic Exceptional Fire in the Lotus Thearch Cauldron slowly refined the 12th Stage Lotus in an extremely stable manner.
Laws outlined the 12th Stage Lotus as phantom blue lotuses appeared around it as if they wanted to suppress the world.
However, under the burning of the chaotic tri-colored flame, it slowly disintegrated, turning into drops of pure, jade-green spirit liquid.
Flames filled the sky, and the void trembled.
Even the void created by the Thearch could not withstand the flame and was about to be torn apart.
"Can this kid really refine the supreme pill?"
The Lotus Thearch's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness. The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill recipe had been passed down from the Antiquity Age and was extremely profound.
Even if Shen Tian had the primordial flames, he was not completely confident that he could succeed.
Not only did one have to have the Chaotic Exceptional Fire, but they also had to be extremely precise when it came to controlling the heat, drawing the array formation, fusing the pill, and forming the pill.
The slightest mistake could lead to failure.
It was fine if he failed normally, but it would be a waste of the Thearch herb.
To a Thearch, it was not a loss that he could not bear.
However, if this pill refinement failed, it would be extremely dangerous.
After all, this was the chaotic divine fire that had been refined with the power of a Thearch herb. Once the cauldron exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, the Lotus Thearch became more vigilant and wary of anything that might happen.
"I believe Brother Shen Tian will definitely succeed!" Princess Linglong muttered to herself. She believed Shen Tian would succeed.
Because he was her Brother Shen Tian!
He was the Son of Providence that had never been seen before. He was also very handsome!
Shi Linglong's eyes flickered with confidence.
Three days passed in a flash...
Even if the Chaotic Exceptional Fire was used to refine the supreme pill, it would still take a long time.
During these three days, the Thearch-level Lotus was finally dissolved into 12 drops of pure spirit liquid.
These 12 drops of liquid were extremely large and were the size of a human head. They contained an extremely dense energy each.
However, to the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, this spirit liquid was not pure enough.
In order to refine it into a pill, it would have to undergo continuous tempering and purification to remove all the impurities in it.
Of course, to the vast majority of cultivators, these so-called impurities were simply peerless divine medicines that they could only wish for.
Even if one were to casually consume some of it, it would be sufficient for one's cultivation to improve greatly.
"Time to add more fire!"
Shen Tian's aura erupted once again upon seeing this.
Even the Chaotic Exceptional Fire in the cauldron became increasingly violent.
Flames surged, completely covering the 12 drops of spirit liquid. Chaotic symbols appeared, completely entering the drops of spirit liquid.
The 12 drops of liquid emitted an extremely bright light as if they were resonating with the Chaotic Exceptional Fire, drawing out divine patterns.
However, the process was very slow.
Even a Chaotic Exceptional Fire would take a long time to refine a Thearch herb to its limit.
Eighteen days later...
Under the powerful tempering of the Chaotic Exceptional Fire, the 12 drops of the Thearch-level spirit liquid were finally completely refined, becoming increasingly translucent and sparkling. Divine light curled around them, containing an intense aura of life.
Shen Tian finally smiled upon seeing this. His face was slightly pale, and his breathing had weakened.
Yes, I've exhausted myself to near death!
Who would have thought that refining a pill would actually need so much Yang fire that my body is so weak now?
Before I refine any pills next time, I have to abstain for a period. Otherwise, I won't have enough firepower!
Shen Tian grumbled in his heart, but his hands didn't stop moving as he carried out the finishing touches.
"Pill formation!"
Shen Tian quickly changed his technique and used 108 techniques to activate the Chaotic Exceptional Fire.
He sent the supplementary herbs' essence into the 12 drops of spirit liquid, and the two gradually merged.
Under the refinement of the Chaotic Exceptional Fire, the 12 drops of liquid that were originally the size of a human head were now only the size of a longan.
The medicinal effect was being refined and purified. It was transforming from the Postnatal realm into the Connate realm and absorbing the traces of the chaotic spiritual aura that came from the Chaotic Exceptional Fire.
And this was also the key to the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's ability to reverse one's innate talent.
For a time, the Lotus Thearch Cauldron shook violently, shooting out endless rays of light.
The shape of 12 pills appeared faintly in the cauldron.
"The pills are about to be formed!"
A powerful aura exploded from the Lotus Thearch's body, forming supreme laws that enveloped the area where Shen Tian was.
Once a supreme pill was formed, it would trigger a great change in the nearby surroundings.
The supreme pill might be sensed by the great Dao of heaven and earth and bring about a great calamity.
Fortunately, this was the Lotus Thearch's tomb, and it was isolated from the rest of the world.
Furthermore, with the Lotus Thearch, the number one Alchemist Thearch present, he naturally would not allow such a situation to happen.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out!
Even the space created by the Lotus Thearch could not help but tremble and shatter.
But by this time, the fluctuations had calmed down.
The Lotus Thearch Cauldron slowly opened, releasing a strong fragrance. It was an extremely powerful aura of life that refreshed one's heart and mind, causing the pores all over one's body to open wide and involuntarily want to absorb this energy.
"He has really succeeded!"
The Lotus Thearch's body trembled. He had never imagined that Shen Tian would really be able to refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
This was his life's long-cherished wish and regret.
And now, it has actually been realized by Shen Tian!
"Senior Lotus Thearch, I have not let you down. I have finally refined the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill."
Shen Tian picked up the shrunken Lotus Thearch Cauldron with a smile and walked out.
There were 12 perfectly round green pills within the cauldron, and green light coiled around them to form a mystical appearance.
Numerous azure lotus images coiled around the 12 pills, and they erupted with surging auras as if they were born from the chaos and were filled with miraculous effects.
The legendary supreme medicinal pill, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, had finally reappeared in the world!
"Not bad, lad! You've learned the essence of my teachings!"
The Lotus Thearch looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
Even as the number one Alchemist Thearch, he had never seen a human with such terrifying talent.
It was one thing for him to be able to control the chaotic aura because of his unique physique, but he could refine a supreme pill on his first attempt!?
Stop messing around!
Do you think that refining pills is like refining pig oil on the streets?
I have cultivated the Alchemy Dao for 100,000 years. Even if I can control the Chaotic Exceptional Fire, I am not confident that I can successfully refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
Yet in the end, a junior who had only cultivated alchemy for a few days managed to succeed!?
On top of that, he refined it in one go!?
The Lotus Thearch placed his hands behind his back and kept drawing circles.
What's there to say!
I am the Lotus Thearch, and I have gone autistic~

Chapter 403: Is The Sky-Mending Pill Some Fake Medicine!
A thick floral fragrance flooded the Lotus Thearch's tomb.
Everyone crowded around the Lotus Thearch's cauldron, staring at the 12 Sky-Mending Pills inside.
"Are these the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills?"
The Lotus Thearch swallowed hard as he couldn't help sighing on the inside.
The 12 pills inside the cauldron were plump and crystalline and exuded a very light, clean fragrance.
Lines of runes ran across the surface of those pills, filled with spiritual harmony as if life itself was streaming inside them.
These were clearly peerless pills cultivated by a level of providence that surpassed even heaven's will.
After the Chaotic Exceptional Fire's refinement and absorbing chaotic spirit energy, the effects of these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills would be enough to change one's destiny!
This grade of pill was beyond this mortal world!
Even if the Lotus Thearch was in peak form and could control the Chaotic Exceptional Fire, he might not be able to cultivate this kind of divine pill.
"Brother Shen is so awesome!"
Princess Linglong's face was filled with adoration and worship.
Even the Thearch was unable to cultivate such a peerless pill, but Brother Shen was able to do it.
Doesn't this mean that Brother Shen is even more powerful than the Thearch?
Pfffttt!
Not only is Brother Shen extremely handsome, but he is also exceptionally talented!
For the future of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, no matter what, I must entice Brother Shen over to our side.
Even if I have to sacrifice my body, I am willing!
Princess Linglong's face subconsciously grew red as she quietly promised herself.
But...
Why is Brother Shen staring at me?
Don't tell me Brother Shen wants to...
If Brother Shen wants it, I will give it to him! And more!
Upon feeling Shen Tian's searing eager gaze, Princess Linglong's face grew even redder!
Yes, Shen Tian was not looking at the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
Instead, he was looking at Princess Linglong's... providence halo on top of her head.
According to past experience, as long as he gained a great fortuitous opportunity together with a Child of Providence, both of their providence would be increased.
Now that the Lotus Thearch's legacy had been achieved, why was the halo above Princess Linglong's head still unchanged!?
Ever since a large portion of his providence had been shaved, he had been very down on his luck.
I must raise my providence, or there's no way I can survive!
At that moment, there was a sudden change in Princess Linglong's providence halo. Her formerly pale purple providence halo gradually turned a darker shade of purple. The purple glow became more profound, looking like a dazzling purple sun.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian instantly felt very relaxed and soothed all over.
Increasing!
Increasing!
My providence is finally increasing!
The formerly pale gold providence halo on top of Shen Tian's head also glowed brighter. The dazzling golden glow moved in mighty waves, changing Shen Tian's providence halo into a yellow gold color.
It did not return to what it was before, but it made Shen Tian feel more confident now. After all, when one's providence was at downtrodden levels, there was no sense of security at all.
At least now it had recovered some!
Next up, he had to buck up and leverage off more fortuitous opportunities!
That's what I will do!
Before my providence returns to previous levels, I must continue to harvest!
"Senior Lotus Thearch, let's share these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills equally!"
Shen Tian decided to share these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills equally.
If a normal person managed to obtain these destiny-changing peerless pills, they would definitely keep them all for themselves.
After all, these were very precious Thearch-level pills and were absolutely priceless. It would be an insult to those pills to exchange for Sage-level artifacts!
Across all the cultivators in the five regions, no one could resist that temptation.
But Shen Tian had no intention of monopolizing everything. His personal values would not allow that.
If the Lotus Thearch had not provided the recipe for the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill and the 12th Stage Lotus, he would never have been able to refine the Thearch-level Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
Shen Tian was not the kind of person to forget a good turn. He would never monopolize these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.
Moreover, these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills might not be that useful to him.
According to the recipe, one of the effects was to raise one's foundation and ability to decipher things, as well as to mend any physical deficiencies, to make one's body perfect.
However, only the first dose would be effective.
After all, this was a destiny-changing pill. One could not possibly use it without any limits.
Given Shen Tian's current constitution, whether it was his foundation or ability to decipher things, he was already at peak levels. There was not much more space for improvement.
This Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill would not be of much use to him.
Surprise flashed across the Lotus Thearch's eyes.
"My friend, you are so generous. You are willing to give away this Thearch-level pill.
"Not bad, not bad at all."
A Thearch-level pill was no common item. It was the kind of peerless pill that would stir the heart of a great Thearch and drive Sages mad.
Even a wealthy family in the Primordial Age would not dare to be so extravagant as to give away such a Thearch-level pill.
And this was a Thearch-level pill that could enhance one's foundation and ability to decipher things.
Even amongst other Thearch-level pills, it was considered a supreme-grade item and was priceless.
But Shen Tian had suggested sharing it equally. The Lotus Thearch was very pleased.
"Senior, you are too kind in your praise. Being down-to-earth has always been one of the key points in the path of cultivation.
"Pills are just superficial things—a supplement.
"When one's body is strong on its own, that is true power.
"Moreover, pills are meant for people to use. We must use it in a way that will maximize the results."
Shen Tian smiled, his eyes firm and resolute.
"What a sensible boy you are. But this pill is of no use to me.
"I am just the remnants of a soul and cannot use it. You should keep it for yourself!"
The Lotus Thearch smiled. He could see that Shen Tian was a true man.
He was not greedy for treasures and was full of good, upright morals.
He is definitely worthy of receiving my legacy!
"Linglong, according to our earlier agreement, we will share all fortuitous opportunities.
"I cannot share the legacies Senior Lotus Thearch passed on without his permission.
"But for these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills, we can share them equally!"
Since the Lotus Thearch had no use for them, I can give them to Princess Linglong!
This was someone who had a purple providence halo... a Daughter of Providence!
He had previously managed to leverage off her providence, and things had turned out great.
His own providence had been much boosted!
It would do him good to "fatten her up" now so that her providence would rub off him in the future!
Yeap, just a very chaste rubbing!
No wayward thoughts, please!
Shen Tian took out six Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills and handed them to Princess Linglong.
"Brother Shen, I cannot accept them!
"This is Brother Shen's fortuitous opportunity. How can you give me so many!?
"You are the one who refined these Chaotic Sky-Mending pills, and they should belong to you.
"Brother Shen, please take them back."
Princess Linglong hurriedly rejected him, her face blushing red.
She was truly embarrassed to accept so many. She was not trying to put up a false show.
In Princess Linglong's opinion, if Shen Tian had not led the way, she might not have been able to find the tomb.
She was already very satisfied with obtaining half of the Lotus Thearch's legacy.
Now, Shen Tian was still going to give her these Thearch-level pills.
Princess Linglong felt very moved. She also seemed to realize something.
Brother Shen is so good to me. He is even giving me Thearch-level pills just like that.
Don't tell me he likes me!
Yeap, it must be because he likes me that he treats me so well!
So happy~
Princess Linglong blushed pink as she continued to daydream.
Shen Tian scratched his head when he heard Princess Linglong's refusal.
What's going on? Why is everyone rejecting these free fortuitous opportunities?
At that moment, the Lotus Thearch spoke up. "Young girl, these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills are very useful to you. They can transform your physical body. Take them!
"Also, if you don't take these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills, you will never be able to catch up to this kid."
The corners of the Lotus Thearch's mouth twitched when he witnessed Princess Linglong's refusal.
Who is this silly girl? Rejecting such a great fortuitous opportunity when it is being handed to her just like that?
Is her family too rich? They have too many resources?
It should be pointed out this was not your usual herb that could just be plucked off the roadside. This is the destiny-changing Thearch-level pill!
When did this Thearch-level pill become so worthless?
No one wants it even when it is being given for free?
The Lotus Thearch felt like his entire worldview was on the brink of collapse!
This young girl had gotten half his legacy and could be considered half his heir. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to speak up. He could care less!
So foolish!
"Ah, alright then!
"Brother Shen, just give me one then!"
Princess Linglong was shocked at the mention that Shen Tian might progress too far ahead for her to catch up.
Senior Lotus Thearch was right. Shen Tian's innate talent was too powerful. He would definitely dominate the five regions in the future and be unsurpassable.
If I don't raise my own power, I will never match up to Brother Shen.
What if there are some other cheap sluts wanting to snatch him from me?
I must take action!
No way!
I must raise my power so that I can be by Brother Shen's side.
Princess Linglong's eyes were full of determination as she held the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
From today onward, I must become stronger!
"Alright, you guys refine this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill first. I will help you set up a protection array."
The Lotus Thearch spoke up. He also wanted to see just how effective this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill would be.
After all, this was a peerless pill handed down from the Antiquity Age. It possessed heaven-defying powers.
Even the Lotus Thearch was very curious just how powerful it would be!
"Thank you, Senior Lotus Thearch!"
Shen Tian and Princess Linglong nodded and thanked the Lotus Thearch for his kindness.
Princess Linglong wanted to quickly improve her power and talent so that she could catch up to Shen Tian.
So why did Shen Tian agree to it? The main reason was that he was greedy...
While gazing at the glistening, plump Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills, which exuded a clear fragrance, he couldn't help licking his lips.
Even though he did not have much use for these pills, they looked delicious!
Shen Tian had learned pill-refining because he wanted a change in taste.
Now that he had this Thearch-level pill right before him, he should at least have a taste!
I have never eaten a Thearch-level pill before!
I have worked so hard for the past two weeks. I cannot let myself have worked for free!
The two of them soon consumed one Chaotic Sky-Mending pill each.
Princess Linglong sat down cross-legged and shut her eyes to start refining the pill.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian's eyes lit up after he swallowed that pill.
"Mmm? Taste is not bad. It tastes like chocolate with a lotus paste core...
"I ate it too fast just now. I didn't get a chance to fully appreciate the flavor. Shall I have another one?"
Shen Tian felt quite tempted as he gazed at the remaining 10 Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.
The corners of the Lotus Thearch's mouth twitched.
What do you take this Thearch-level pill for?
A streetside snack?
A chocolate with a lotus paste core?
What's that? Sounds rather delicious...
No, no, no, this is a pill! A Thearch-level pill, alright!
Who eats a Thearch-level pill like a streetside snack!
"Ahem, young man, one cannot consume too much of this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. You better quickly start refining now to benefit from its effects!"
The Lotus Thearch quickly reminded Shen Tian when he saw that he really intended to eat another pill.
A Thearch-level pill was very powerful. Just one was enough for a Sage to refine for many years.
Take Princess Linglong, for example. She could barely refine 1/1,000 of the Thearch-level pill she had just consumed.
The remaining pill would be stored inside her body, to be gradually refined and absorbed as her cultivation level increased.
At the same time, it would quietly continue to improve her constitution and benefit her future cultivation.
Such a powerful Thearch-level pill. And you treat it as a sweet!
You have barely swallowed the first one, and you already want another? Aren't you worried about your body exploding!?
Although with this kid's freakish constitution, I reckon that he won't explode after eating two.
Even so, he shouldn't be so wasteful!
Eating a Thearch-level pill like candy?
Just the thought of it made the Lotus Thearch's heart ache...
Shen Tian scratched his head. He felt that the Lotus Thearch's words were rather sensible. Therefore, he sat down cross-legged and started to refine the Thearch-level pill.
Shen Tian also wanted to see just how much this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill could help him.
Time passed by the minute and second...
Princess Linglong soon refined the pill to the maximum level possible for now.
At her current level, it was not possible for her to completely refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. Her physical body was soon filled to the brim, and the excess pill essence spread across her body to be stored.
As her cultivation progressed in the future, her body would naturally continue to gradually absorb the rest of the pill.
But this pill was enough to let Princess Linglong's cultivation constitution improve by more than one level.
It was definitely enough to completely transform her.
Not just that, Princess Linglong's cultivation level would also increase more quickly because of that.
After all, this was a Thearch-level pill. Even though its main effect was not to increase one's cultivation level, it would still greatly improve Princess Linglong's cultivation level.
A dazzling light erupted from Princess Linglong's body.
The dazzling light swirled and enveloped her entire body, making her look very mystical.
A boundless aura erupted from Princess Linglong, shaking the entire earth.
Magical rays crisscrossed to form a miraculous image.
Behind Princess Linglong, a blazing Grotto-Heaven rose up, surrounded by an enigmatic mist and possessing a powerful might.
Enhanced by the Chaotic Sky-Mending pill, Linglong's body was undergoing an obvious transformation.
Boom!
A loud boom rang out!
Princess Linglong's body shook violently as divine light surfaced from her body as if about to expand across the entire world.
Behind her, the Grotto-Heaven also vibrated strongly before countless light beams shot out from it.
After the light erupted, it formed a second Grotto-Heaven and then a third. They floated in mid-air.
Light from the three Grotto-Heavens crisscrossed, exuding terrifying divine energy.
Princess Linglong's aura also surged wildy.
Nascent Soul Early Stage!
Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
Nascent Soul Late Stage!
As Princess Linglong's constitution improved, her cultivation levels immediately shot up to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
"This Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill is truly extraordinary. It can result in such a major change in me."
The Lotus Thearch nodded in satisfaction. This was indeed a heaven-defying pill. Even an elite-level constitution like Princess Linglong's could benefit and transform.
"Thank you, Brother Shen and Senior Lotus Thearch!"
Princess Linglong slowly stopped cultivating and stood up. She was filled with gratitude. She could feel herself transforming and attaining an unprecedented level of progress.
In fact, the physical appearance of her body also changed following the enhancement of her fundamental constitution and her ability to decipher things.
She became taller and more slender, looking like a pristine pearl glowing exquisitely.
She looked vibrant and lively under the light of her Grotto-Heavens.
Her body was bathed in dazzling divine light, looking very much like a celestial fairy who had just descended upon the mortal world.
It was no exaggeration to call her a devastatingly gorgeous fairy lady!
As if she could feel her own physical changes, Princess Linglong smiled.
After all, which girl would say no to becoming more beautiful?
The more beautiful, the better!
This Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill is really too powerful. It can even improve my looks by so much.
Brother Shen will definitely like me even more now!
Princess Linglong turned eagerly to look at Shen Tian, only to see that he was frowning in deep thought. He did not notice her at all.
The air was instantly filled with a sense of deep resentment.
"Master, I feel another wave of resentment..."
Jiu'er's warning voice rang out as the rosary beads vibrated gently. However, Shen Tian remained in deep thought.
Or rather, he was caught up in the midst of having doubts about the meaning of life.
"Something's not right. Why didn't I change at all?"
Shen Tian scratched his head. He realized that nothing happened to him after consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
His ability to decipher things remained the same. There was not the slightest bit of improvement to his physical body either.
I might already be at peak, elite levels.
But is this all a Thearch-level pill can do?
Is that all? Is that all?
I expended so much Yang fire to refine this useless toy?
Why do I feel so cheated?
Is this some kind of fake medicine!?
At the very least, it should give me a new avatar!
Let me look a bit cooler!
It must be said that Shen Tian was truly doubting the meaning of life right now.
Shen Tian suddenly radiated with a dazzling light.
The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was finally taking effect.
Shen Tian was delighted.
It's happening!
It's happening!
The avatar is coming out!
The light glowed more and more intensely, completely engulfing Shen Tian.
A huge lotus avatar appeared behind him. The 12th Stage Lotus fluttered with the wind.
Every single lotus petal was filled with miraculous magic and power.
"Is this the... Chaotic Lotus avatar?"
The Lotus Thearch was utterly shocked by this sight.
His original form had been a 12th Stage Lotus, becoming a Thearch after achieving transcendence back in the Primordial Age.
As a result, the Lotus Thearch could feel that Shen Tian now possessed an extremely intense lotus power. It seeped into every part of his body.
This was clearly due to a perfect refinement of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
But that's not all!
This lotus power was merging with the chaotic aura inside Shen Tian's body to form the legendary Chaotic Lotus!
It should be pointed out this was a forbidden, peerless pill. It was the top of the top amongst the Thearch-level pills and had only been found in legends.
Even though it was just an avatar, it was still an unimaginable power.
The Lotus Thearch had found records of this kind of avatar in some old books left behind from the Antiquity Age.
The records wrote that this Chaotic Lotus was a groundbreaking... avatar that had the power to create a whole new world!

Chapter 404: He's Only A Child!
Shen Tian stood in the sky, looking valiant and heroic.
The Chaotic Lotus avatar turned even brighter, covering the sky and forming Dao runes.
Endless magnificent divine light enveloped that Chaotic Lotus, which caused the laws of heaven and earth to descend, and runes became out of order as if wanting chaos to reappear in the world.
"This kid is transforming!"
The Lotus Thearch was astounded. He had never expected for the taboo avatar of the remote past to have actually appeared behind a human.
The Chaotic Lotus!
Such an avatar was only a legend even in the Antiquity Age.
The Lotus Thearch could not help but anticipate just what kind of changes would happen after Shen Tian completely absorbed the pill!
Currently, Shen Tian was silent as he was focused.
Although the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill would not strengthen his foundation or improve his talent and aptitude for enlightenment much, its powerful effects could increase his cultivation level non-stop. At the same time, it could cause him to have a certain extraordinary transformation.
Currently, he had a feeling that his cultivation level had already reached the limit of the Golden Core stage and could not be increased anymore.
He could break through to the Nascent Soul stage if he took another step.
That radiant Golden Core floated above Shen Tian's head and grew larger by the second. It was already ten feet in diameter, stunning Lotus Thearch and Princess Linglong who were at the side.
Other people's Golden Cores were the size of a longan, but Shen Tian's Golden Core could even be compared to a dragon's egg.
"Brother Shen's is really big!"
Princess Linglong's jaw dropped from astonishment.
Even if she was from the Celestial Dynasty, she had never seen such a large Golden Core.
Eat the Golden Core, and I am now the master of my own fate? Who could eat such a large Golden Core!?
As expected of Brother Shen!
This is a mutated Golden Core!
The Lotus Thearch was not that shocked as he was a Thearch of the Primordial Age and had seen all kinds of prodigies with mutated Golden Cores.
Of course, the Chaotic Golden Core was unique. At least, the Lotus Thearch had never seen a second one.
That Chaotic Golden Core shone even brighter and entered Shen Tian's glabella.
That's where the soul of the cultivator was and could be called the Purple Mansion Spiritual World.
The Purple Mansion Spiritual World was the place where one's Nascent Soul resided.
Before Golden Core cultivators broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, their Golden Core would enter the Purple Mansion Spiritual World to transform and start breaking to form the Nascent Soul.
Mighty purple aura surged throughout the Purple Mansion Spiritual World, while endless soul energy was converted to a boundless ocean that made the space exceptionally vast.
The stronger one's spiritual power was, the larger one's Purple Mansion Spiritual World would be.
At that moment, the chaotic aura started to be formed in the Purple Mansion Spiritual World.
The light it emitted was dim as it moved in a circular manner, surging around Shen Tian—that was the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's power. The power it contained was absorbed into Shen Tian's limbs, bones, internal organs, and dantian.
The pill's vigorous power constantly stirred and gathered with great momentum.
The whole Purple Mansion was filled with powerful vitality.
The 12th Stage Chaotic bloomed in the chaotic aura and occupied one area, emitting a brilliant light.
The chaotic aura seemed endless as it was being continuously created in the Purple Mansion. The lotus leaves were shining brightly as if they were connected with heaven and earth.
Infinite laws poured down from the sky and emitted radiant light as if the Milky Way was falling down, completely covering the 12th Stage Lotus.
All laws became chaotic!
The 12th Stage Chaotic Lotus was actually connected with the laws and Dao of heaven and earth under the nourishment of the chaotic aura.
With endless laws filling it, lotus leaves were formed one after another, emitting a majestic aura as it evolved.
th Stage!
th Stage!
th Stage!
th Stage!
The 36th Stage Chaotic Lotus' leaves seemed to be involved with heaven and earth and covered the whole Purple Mansion.
Those resplendent leaves burst into full bloom and were separated into different regions, attracting endless chaotic aura. It was a magnificent scene.
The whole Purple Mansion Spiritual World was being enveloped by chaotic aura.
Every nook and cranny was filled with dense fog as if it was the very beginning of a universe!
If high-level experts saw such a scene, they would definitely be astonished.
If the 12th Stage Chaotic Lotus was a taboo, then the 36th Stage Chaotic Lotus was an existence on the creation level!
Who would have expected a young cultivator that was only about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage would achieve such a feat?
It was simply unbelievable!
Due to the chaotic aura's nourishment, Shen Tian's Purple Mansion Spiritual World underwent a drastic change.
The golden soul sea turned into land, and the chaotic aura was churning. The sky was enshrouded by darkness, which made everything return to chaos.
That raging strength started to spread through the Purple Mansion Spiritual World.
Blazing Exceptional Fire surged like a mighty torrent and soared into the sky, burning the space into nothingness.
The sharp and fierce wind swept across the whole place and even made the chaotic aura more violent.
The ground was being shattered by the shaking, and countless holes were formed as if the ground was about to collapse completely.
The sky was filled with terrifying disasters, lightning clouds gathered, and the heavenly Dao was completely in chaos as if about to completely destroy the whole space.
Not only so, but the Chaotic Golden Core within Shen Tian was also transforming.
That Chaotic Golden Core slowly hovered over the 36th Stage Chaotic Lotus' heart.
Thick chaotic aura erupted from the 36th Stage Chaotic Lotus and kept on rising, completely enveloping the Chaotic Golden Core. The light it emitted was so bright it was blinding.
Golden light and gorgeous lightning filled the space as the Chaotic Golden Core was absorbing the chaotic aura without restraint.
Boom!
Shen Tian's Purple Mansion was shaking vigorously and undergoing a drastic change.
The Chaotic Golden Core emitted an extremely bright light that seemed to even disperse the chaotic aura!
Under the nourishment of the chaotic aura, even his Chaotic Golden Core was changing and kept on growing larger!
10 feet!
20 feet!
30 feet!
80 feet!
330 feet!
The Chaotic Golden Core, which was almost 330 feet in diameter, was right in the center of the chaotic space.
It was surrounded by chaotic aura and gave off a fearsome feeling.
Shen Tian's mouth twitched uncontrollably when he saw that Chaotic Golden Core in front of him.
That thing is my Chaotic Golden Core!?
Why does it look like a dinosaur egg?
No! How is it possible that there's such a huge egg!?
Not to mention a dinosaur egg, even a True Dragon's egg would not be this big!
However, Shen Tian was not worried. Instead, he was full of anticipation.
One had to know that one's Nascent Soul would be born from their Golden Core after absorbing the life essence from within the Golden Core.
Normally speaking, the stronger one's Golden Core was, the more powerful the formed Nascent Soul would be.
Shen Tian smiled as he looked at his Chaotic Golden Core that was almost 330 feet in height.
The Nascent Soul from such a large Golden Core will definitely be invincible!
I'm looking forward to it!
"Forming my Nascent Soul from cracking the Golden Core!"
Shen Tian shouted as he kept on guiding the power of the pill toward the Chaotic Golden Core.
Thanks to the pill's endless power, cracking his Golden Core to form his Nascent Soul was already a piece of cake.
Even if Shen Tian's Golden Core was slightly... too... big!
Alright... It was super huge!
The pill's endless power gathered to form a long river of chaotic aura-covered energy, which fell from the sky and entered that golden egg.
In an instant, that golden egg shone brightly.
A splendid scene mixed with a grayish chaotic aura was reflected from it.
A rising golden blazing sun was shining brightly in the endless chaotic space as if wanting to disperse all the darkness.
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded!
That huge Golden Core cracked and suddenly exploded. Then a bright Nascent Soul hatched.
That Nascent Soul's whole body was glittering and translucent. It had fair and clear skin and was completely naked. It looked similar to Shen Tian.
If not for it being slightly too large, some might even believe it if they were told that this was Shen Tian's child.
Well, it was slightly... huge.
Alright, it was not only slightly big!
It was extremely super large!
As huge as that Chaotic Golden Core!
That humongous Nascent Soul that was 330 feet in height sat right in the center of the Purple Mansion. It could stun others as it gave off a feeling that it could crush someone to death by sitting on them.
Shen Tian's mouth twitched as he witnessed that scene.
Others form a new soul after cracking their Golden Core, but a humongous soul was formed from mine?
More importantly, I'm not even taller than my Nascent Soul's nostrils? Is that possible?
Unbelievable!
He sized up his Nascent Soul upper body—head, hands, stomach—and continued downward. When Shen Tian's line of sight reached between his Nascent Soul's legs...
Shen Tian became silent.
OMG!
God, why are you so unfair!?
It's still just a child!
Just what kind of strange Nascent Soul did I create!?
While Shen Tian was doubting himself, he suddenly realized that the power of his Chaotic Tinder Sutra had actually started to circulate by itself.
Under the influence of the chaotic aura, the power of those 10 extraordinary items started circulating.
They merged with the Chaotic Tinder Sutra and emitted gorgeous and colorful light.
The Five Elements converged and turned into chaotic light that enveloped that Nascent Soul.
"What's happening? This shouldn't happen!
"It's my Nascent Soul, so why can it use the *Tinder Sutra'*s power?"
Shen Tian was astounded. One had to know that the Chaotic Tinder Sutra focused on body-tempering and was a Godfiend body art.
Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul belonged to the Qi Refinement system and existed within one's Purple Mansion Spiritual World.
Therefore, they were as different as night and day, and there should not be any connections between them.
However, Shen Tian's huge Nascent Soul could actually make use of the power of the extraordinary items and even resonate with them.
It was simply bizarre and unbelievable!
That's not it!
Radiant acupoints started appearing on the Nascent Soul, which looked like shining stars, bright and sacred.
That was the Nirvana realm's power of acupoints and also known as the power of extraordinary.
Nirvana practitioners could turn their acupoints into divine acupoints with large amounts of energy and thus unleash their hidden potential and reach an extraordinary level.
Meanwhile, forming those divine acupoints would need to consume a large amount of energy. The energy required to form each divine acupoint could even be compared to all the Spirit Qi of a Golden Core cultivator.
That was the reason why after the Nirvana realm, the Godfiend system was known to be costly, and one would not be able to tread on it if their family was not wealthy!
However, under the enhancement of chaotic aura, those acupoints turned even brighter and turned into divine acupoints one after the other as they absorbed large amounts of energy!
Shen Tian was astonished.
One had to know that forming divine acupoints belonged to the Godfiend system and not the Qi Refinement system at all.
Nonetheless, Shen Tian's Nascent Soul could not only absorb the Chaotic Tinder Sutra's energy, but it was even able to convert acupoints into divine acupoints.
It was simply bizarre and unbelievable!
Shen Tian murmured to himself as if he had thought of something, "I heard that chaos is the source of all arts, all Godfiend and Qi Refinement arts are produced from chaos.
"All cultivation systems were from the same source. It's just that subsequently, it developed into different derivations.
"Therefore, there would be two completely different cultivation systems like Godfiend and Qi Refinement.
"I have the chaotic aura, so I can assimilate anything and everything.
"Due to the chaotic aura, the Godfiend and Qi Refinement systems actually merged and reached the same path."
Shen Tian's eyes lit up at that thought.
He did not stop the Nascent Soul from converting its acupoints to divine acupoints. He wanted to see just what would happen after the two cultivation systems merge together!
Meanwhile, what kind of transformation would happen to him?
He might even be able to create a cultivation path belonging to himself.
The chaotic aura was absorbed into the Nascent Soul. As more acupoints became divine acupoints, they shone even brighter.
A tyrannical power shot out of the acupoints and overwhelmed everything as if it wanted to devour heaven and earth.
The Purple Mansion was in turmoil as endless chaotic aura was sucked into the Nascent Soul, making its aura even fiercer.
The power of his acupoints circulated its body.
Afterward, that power slowly flowed out of its right hand and transformed into a huge battleaxe.
That was a battleaxe formed from chaotic aura and contained endless intent of destruction, creation, and eternity, which words could not describe.
The Nascent Soul then slowly opened its eyes, and a blazing light penetrated heaven and earth.
"Ahhh!"
As if being awakened by the noisy world, the Nascent Soul revealed annoyance.
While naked, it suddenly made a move. It waved the battleaxe in its hands and slashed toward the endless laws within the chaos.
Boom!
That strike seemed to be able to split the heavens and earth apart!
A fearsome aura instantly burst out, the stars exploded, and the sky collapsed, displaying a scene of devastation.
Blazing Exceptional Fire was completely devoured, and the piercingly cold, violent wind was suppressed.
At the same time, those destructive disasters were annihilated by that slash.
Afterward, the Nascent Soul stood up and continued suppressing the laws, stabilizing the chaos as it wanted to create a perfect world.
Shen Tian witnessed everything.
He was calm and composed. He gradually entered the enlightenment state as he witnessed the process of the chaotic universe being created.
At the same time, a mysterious power was created that covered the sky.
Shen Tian sat cross-legged in space with his eyes closed.
Those resplendent acupoints that were also formed in his body also expressed a powerful desire to devour!
The divine acupoints continued shining brightly and unleashed a fearsome aura!
In that instant, the entire tomb started shaking.
"He's making quite a scene when breaking through!"
The Lotus Thearch had naturally noticed that Shen Tian was in a state of enlightenment, and his cultivation level was increasing greatly.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian's body started shining due to his acupoints that were emitting light. His acupoints were crazily devouring Spirit Qi like a black hole. It was evident that this was in preparation for converting to divine acupoints.
"Alright, let me lend you a helping hand!"
The Lotus Thearch narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, pulling out Spirit Qi.
The Spirit Qi gathered to form a long river that entered Shen Tian.
As the Spirit Qi was absorbed, Shen Tian's aura became even more powerful, and the acupoints on the surface of his body shone like the stars in the sky.
However, it did not seem to be enough!
In that instant, all the Spirit Qi was completely absorbed, and even the air started to become dry of Spirit Qi.
"This kid is really a monster! Even this much Spirit Qi is not enough!"
The Lotus Thearch was shocked. He had already guided all the Spirit Qi in the tomb here, but it was just like a drop in a bucket.
"I never expected that the Spirit Qi that I have accumulated for 10,000 would become yours in the end."
Lotus Thearch shook his head and made a hand seal.
Instantly, Spirit Qi surged from within the tomb.
The hazy Spirit Qi fog suddenly gushed out from the bottom of the tomb.
This Spirit Qi fog was a phenomenon that would occur only when the density of Spirit Qi reached the extreme.
The Lotus Thearch had been accumulating the Spirit Qi fog for 10,000 years, so its density was beyond imagination.
Such a large amount of Spirit Qi could create not only one Sage!
Under the Lotus Thearch's guidance, endless Spirit Qi fog took on the shape of a dragon and crazily surged into Shen Tian, and his cultivation level started to increase exponentially.
Early-Stage Nascent Soul!
Mid-Stage Nascent Soul!
Late-Stage Nascent Soul!
Peak-Stage Nascent Soul!
In the blink of an eye, Shen Tian had already broken through to Peak-Stage Nascent Soul,
Boom!
Not only so, but Shen Tian's Godfiend cultivation was also crazily increasing!
Early-Realm Nirvana!
Mid-Realm Nirvana!
Late-Realm Nirvana!
Peak-Realm Nirvana!
He was just one step away from breaking through to the Mighty Prowess realm.
However, everything came to a stop here.
At that moment, a fearsome aura was emitted—that was Shen Tian transforming! All of his 365 acupoints were being converted into divine acupoints.
The resplendent light completely covered Shen Tian, and an incomparable aura burst out.
At the same time, the Nascent Soul within Shen Tian also radiated an unmatched aura.
Those two converged, and the immense aura swept past the whole tomb!
In that instant, invisible ripples were formed in the space, containing the unparalleled and overbearing aura.
The Lotus Thearch's body trembled from astonishment.
"How is this possible... This power!?"
The Lotus Thearch was astounded. He could only feel a shiver run down his spine!
He could sense how frightening this power was—it was a great level that surpassed even this world's.
Not in terms of quantity but quality!
The degree of its quality reached a height that even he was unable to imagine!
This was a power that even the Lotus Thearch could not begin to fathom!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Princess Linglong was already oppressed by that powerful aura on the ground and could not move at all.
"What's going on!? How could just the remaining aura be so powerful? I can't move at all!"
Princess Linglong lay on the ground as that pressure was as heavy as a mountain and was filled with a domineering aura. She was unable to resist at all.
"I do want to be pressed by Brother Shen on the ground, but not like this!"
Looking at Shen Tian's miraculous body, Princess Linglong's face was red from bashfulness as she struggled.
At the same time, within Shen Tian's Purple Mansion Spiritual World...
The huge Nascent Soul finally settled the chaotic world and brought peace to the chaos.
However, the huge Nascent Soul seemed to not like this dull world enshrouded by chaotic aura. It gradually crawled out of that humongous 36th Stage Chaotic Lotus and patted its fat buttocks.
Instantly, the endless chaotic aura dispersed.
The chaotic aura condensed and gradually formed split pants that blocked the Nascent Soul's extraordinary part.
It raised the invincible battleaxe in its hands and pointed to the sky!
In that instant, endless splendid divine light shone from that battleaxe and pierced through the sky of chaotic aura.
Rumble!
That loud thud reverberated throughout the Purple Mansion!
Space collapsed, and endless chaotic aura was wiped out with that slash.
The darkness was directly sliced through, and even heaven and earth were split into two, allowing the world to see the light once again.
Shen Tian was speechless as he witnessed this.
He had finally realized that the small kid that his Golden Core had given birth to seemed to be... creating heaven and earth!

Chapter 405: Supreme Divine Power, Splitting The Heavens And Earth!
Shen Tian sat cross-legged, comprehending the power the giant Nascent Soul had displayed.
365 acupoints appeared in the giant Nascent Soul's body, corresponding to 365 acupoints in the human body.
Each acupoint shone with a brilliant light, linking together to form a terrifying might.
However, this energy wasn't something a Nirvana practitioner could control.
The human body had a total of 365 large aperture acupoints, 3,650 small aperture acupoints, and 100,000 hidden aperture acupoints.
The energy in the acupoints of the Nirvana realm was scattered throughout the body, and it was like scattered soldiers that were unable to converge together.
Only after breaking through to the Mighty Prowess realm, wherein one's body would transform, would one's scattered acupoints begin to link up and display the might of a Mighty Prowess practitioner.
Under the stimulation of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, the 365 acupoints in the giant Nascent Soul's body converged together.
It was truly inconceivable.
Seeing this scene, Shen Tian was enlightened.
The divine acupoints in his body flickered as they erupted with powerful might.
Mysterious power burst forth from Shen Tian's body, and a brilliant and dazzling light could be seen emitting from him.
He was trying to comprehend the power that the giant Nascent Soul was using in order to connect the 365 acupoints in his body.
At that moment, the giant Nascent Soul within the Purple Mansion Spiritual World was at the final juncture.
The endless chaos was cut apart, and the chaotic laws were suppressed. It was as if the world of chaos was going to be completely tamed.
The giant Nascent Soul raised its invincible battleaxe and clenched its fists. All 365 acupoints in its body lit up, allowing its aura to reach its peak.
This upcoming strike seemed to be able to split the heavens and earth apart!
Boom!
Brilliant divine light erupted from Shen Tian's body, dazzling to the extreme.
The large aperture acupoints were connected by an invisible force, causing his body to emit divine light and his aura to rise steadily.
Clang!
The Executing Heaven Sword in Shen Tian's lungs seemed to have sensed something and vibrated intensely.
Chi!
Shen Tian stretched out his right hand and clenched his fingers.
A scarlet beam streaked across the sky as the Executing Heaven Sword suddenly shot out of Shen Tian's lungs.
As soon as the Executing Heaven Sword entered his hand, an extremely piercingly cold sword intent instantly shot into the sky and raged about!
At the same time, more than half of Shen Tian's acupoints were connected by this invisible force.
"This is... the strength of divine power!"
The Lotus Thearch's eyes narrowed slightly. Not only was the strength of the divine power extremely powerful, but it also represented that a cultivator had entered the Mighty Prowess realm.
Only a Mighty Prowess expert could use their divine power to connect the acupoints in their bodies.
However, at that moment, Shen Tian had linked up more than half of his acupoints with his Nirvana cultivation!
This also meant that Shen Tian had already comprehended the essence of the divine power!
As long as he was willing, he could achieve a breakthrough anytime!
At this level, he could already be considered half-step into the Mighty Prowess realm. After all, he was only short of that membrane.
He had advanced from Early-Realm Nirvana to become a half-step Mighty Prowess practitioner in an instant. Needless to say, Shen Tian was really fast!
Of course, this was also related to the massive amount of Spirit Qi the Lotus Thearch had provided.
This was one of the treasures of the Lotus Thearch's tomb. Although the tomb couldn't absorb Spirit Qi every moment for 10,000 years, it would be completely saturated once it reached a certain level.
However, according to the Lotus Thearch's estimation, the amount of Spirit Qi in the tomb was comparable to the combined powers of a few high-level Sages.
However, all of it was sucked dry by Shen Tian just like that, allowing him to break through a major realm.
Just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle!
Shen Tian shut his eyes tightly as the scene of the giant Nascent Soul splitting open the sky played out in his mind.
The giant Nascent Soul had reached its final stage!
The invincible battleaxe was completely activated, and it smashed heavily into the chaotic heaven and earth with a destructive might.
In that instant, heaven and earth seemed to have collapsed, and the primal chaos seemed to be destroyed!
Seemingly affected by this aura, Shen Tian suddenly swung the Executing Heaven Sword toward the sky.
"What is this kid doing? F*ck, this brat wants to smash my grave!"
The Lotus Thearch was instantly enraged. He knew that Shen Tian had entered a state of enlightenment and was attacking subconsciously.
Even so, how could he demolish This Thearch's grave? That is too much!
Furthermore, this power was simply too terrifying!
A sword slashed through the air!
An incomparably enormous sword beam swept out horizontally, and its imposing aura was piercingly cold as if it wanted to shatter the sky!
The surrounding space instantly collapsed, and large swaths of space were annihilated.
The sword beam surged forward and headed straight for the top of the tomb.
"Stop right there!"
The Lotus Thearch shouted and leaped up to block the sword beam.
This sword beam was extremely terrifying. If it landed on the tomb, it would probably create a huge hole.
This was the tomb that the Lotus Thearch had painstakingly built. How could he let it be destroyed so easily?
After all, if his grave was gone, where would he be buried?
Azure light burst forth from the Lotus Thearch's body as the 12th Stage Lotus avatar behind him expanded dramatically, forming a gigantic azure cauldron that guarded heaven and earth.
The green lotus turned into an incomparably sturdy cauldron!
The Lotus Thearch was brimming with confidence. He did not believe that he would not be able to withstand this.
Boom!
A loud explosion could be heard!
The green cauldron collided with the sword beam, emitting endless light as it instantly exploded!
The sword beam was unstoppable and indomitable!
"Am I seeing a ghost?"
The Lotus Thearch's incredulous voice was instantly extinguished.
This was a remnant thought left behind by the Lotus Thearch. Its battle experience was comparable to that of a Thearch.
Moreover, after sensing the terrifying might of the sword, he had raised his cultivation to that of a Third Tribulation Sage and even used Sage Laws.
Given the Lotus Thaearch's current strength, even Sages who had undergone the sixth tribulation could be easily beaten.
Sages were split by the number of tribulations they had undergone. However, the third and sixth tribulations were on completely different levels. There was a qualitative leap after a Sage had undergone the sixth tribulation.
However, everything shattered and turned into ashes under Shen Tian's sword.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed!
A familiar scene appeared.
The tomb was split into two, and countless array formations shattered as the order was disrupted, causing more than half of the tomb to collapse.
The strike was extremely terrifying!
"My tomb!"
The Lotus Thearch's remnant soul condensed once again, and his lips twitched as he looked at the half-destroyed tomb. He had underestimated the terror of this attack and had not reacted fast enough.
In just a short while, his grave was demolished.
"Senior Lotus Thearch, Big Brother Shen Tian didn't do this on purpose!"
Upon seeing the Lotus Thearch, Princess Linglong quickly spoke, afraid that he would go berserk.
"Of course I know!
"I was worried that the energy would be too violent, causing this brat to suffer a backlash. Thus, I willingly gave up on the tomb!
"If not, how could this kid destroy my tomb with his ability?"
The Lotus Thearch placed his hands behind his back and turned slightly, pretending to be an expert.
However, his heart was already in turmoil.
This kid is simply too monstrous!
Just what sort of divine power did he comprehend to be this sick?
I raised my cultivation level to that of a Third Tribulation Sage and even activated my Sage Laws, yet I still couldn't block his sword.
This is simply... simply destroying my common sense!
Well~
This matter must not be leaked out. Otherwise, where would I put my face?
Fortunately, this little girl probably didn't understand what had happened.
"Senior Lotus Thearch is indeed magnanimous. Linglong would like to thank you on his behalf."
Princess Linglong cupped her hands in thanks, but she felt that something was wrong.
On the other hand, Shen Tian was completely unaware of all this. His mind was still within the Purple Mansion Spiritual World.
After the giant Nascent Soul cut open the primal chaos, it brushed the dust off its butt and sat down.
It then began to close its eyes and rest. The Nascent Soul's power and the power of its acupoints continuously merged together, becoming one.
However, this process was extremely slow and required a large amount of time.
"This move shall be called the Heaven-Earth-Splitting Divine Power!"
Shen Tian's lips curved up. He never thought that a little brat born from his Golden Core would be so fierce that he could even cut apart the primal chaos.
Shen Tian also comprehended a trace of the Heaven-Earth-Splitting Divine Power from the giant Nascent Soul.
In the future, when Shen Tian broke through to the Mighty Prowess realm and connected all of his acupoints, he might be able to unleash even more power.
"If I wasn't worried about my luck dropping, I would have attempted to break through now!"
Shen Tian shook his head. Given his constitution, he could absorb even more energy and break through to the Mighty Prowess realm.
However, he did not advance. Instead, he dispersed the medicinal energy and fused it into his limbs and bones, hiding it in his body.
Breaking through to the Mighty Prowess realm need not necessarily be a good thing. After all, cultivating the Tinder Sutra would cause one's luck to drop when breaking through a major realm.
He had yet to recover the luck that he had lost previously. If he were to continue making a breakthrough, he would surely meet with great misfortune.
I have always placed my emphasis on steadiness and safety. Before my luck is completely restored, I will definitely not break through!
I should just continue laying low.
Shen Tian nodded with satisfaction and withdrew his consciousness from the Purple Mansion Spiritual World.
The tomb was in chaos—shattered rocks flew about while the laws fell into disorder. It was a scene of desolation.
A huge empty hole had appeared above the tomb, and he could see the seawater and fish through it.
This made the originally majestic tomb... more romantic.
Screw the romance!
The Lotus Thearch had started drawing circles.
Negative energy: 999,999
Shen Tian woke up from his slumber and stared blankly at the tomb.
What happened? I was only in seclusion for a while to cultivate. How did the tomb collapse? Could it be that a strong enemy invaded?
Shen Tian looked around, but there was no trace of the enemy, making him even more puzzled.
"Senior, isn't the tomb sturdy enough that it was hard for even Thearchs to destroy it? Why did it suddenly become like this?"
The Lotus Thearch's mouth twitched.
My tomb is indeed difficult for even a Thearch to destroy. However, that's for enemies attacking from the outside!'
Why would I care about defending against the person inside the tomb? What can I do with a spy!
That sword of yours directly struck the weak point!
What array formation can defend against it?
It is already good enough that my tomb didn't completely collapse, alright?
He cursed in his heart, but could he just say it?
He could not!
Could he tell Shen Tian that he had been careless and hence couldn't block his attack, causing him to blast a huge hole in the tomb?
He had a reputation to maintain!
"It's fine. I had nothing better to do. Coincidentally, I happened to want to see the deep sea scenery, so I opened a hole in the tomb!"
The Lotus Thearch pretended to be calm as he waved his hand.
Shen Tian looked up and found that he could indeed see the scenery of the deep sea through the huge hole above his head.
"Senior Lotus Thearch sure is interesting!"
Shen Tian sighed. As expected of the Lotus Thearch. His thinking was indeed ahead of his. He had even thought of 'underwater tourism'.
In the future, when I inherit Immortal Abode Island and Penglai Island, I will create an underwater world for the tourists to explore. I'm sure many people will like it.
Of course, he did not realize that the Lotus Thearch had his hands behind his back and was frantically drawing circles.
"Well then, my two young friends, I've already given you the inheritance that should be given. This remnant soul of mine is about to dissipate too. You can leave the tomb now and return to the outside world!"
The Lotus Thearch waved his hand, intending to send the guests off. He could have allowed them to stay longer, but the Lotus Thearch was panicking on the inside!
Who knew what other tricks this kid would pull?
My inheritance and pseudo-Thearch weapons have all been given to this boy!
I have even contributed the 12th Stage Lotus for the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!
And guess what happened in the end? This brat even finished all the Spirit Qi that I had accumulated for 10,000 years!
He even blasted open a large hole in This Thearch's tomb, and it is even on the verge of collapsing.
If he stays here any longer, won't I have to uproot my land?
This kid is simply too good at causing trouble!
It is better and safer to send him away quickly!
"Senior Lotus Thearch, I feel that my alchemy skills are still not up to par. I would like to seek more guidance with you."
Shen Tian wasn't in a hurry to leave. The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's effects were too stunning!
Although it did not increase his constitution and perception talent much, Shen Tian successfully shattered his Golden Core and form his Nascent Soul!
Even his Qi Refinement cultivation had reached the Peak-Stage Nascent Soul, while his Godfiend cultivation had attained the Peak-Realm Nirvana.
He had even comprehended a trace of the Heaven-Earth-Splitting Divine Power and learned a great killing move!
This trip to Penglai had allowed him to experience an explosive increase in strength!
Thus, Shen Tian still wanted to seek more guidance from the Lotus Thearch. He also wanted to see if he could get any more supreme pills from him.
"My ultimate techniques are all in those two sutras. You two just have to comprehend them properly, and you will definitely gain something!
"Now, I will send all of you on your way. I hope that all of you can bring my inheritance to greater heights and become famous throughout the five regions!"
What!?
Upon hearing that, Shen Tian still wanted to stay.
The Lotus Thearch raised his white beard and used his supreme cultivation to form a spatial passageway that connected the deep sea to the outside world!
After waving his hand, countless laws enveloped the two of them, and they disappeared from the tomb.
As for Princess Linglongs contract partner, the Immortal Phoenix Princess, Feng Wu, the Lotus Thearch had sent her away long ago due to her constitution.
After making sure the two of them disappeared, the Lotus Thearch's remnant soul could not help but sigh. "I've finally sent him away. It's too exciting to be with this brat!"
The Lotus Thearch shook his head and smiled bitterly. His body gradually dissipated and disappeared from the tomb.
At the same time, the array formation around the tomb rose up and released a terrifying pressure that enveloped the entire place.
Without the Lotus Thearch's approval, it was likely that no one would be able to enter the tomb again.
Above North Sea...
Shen Tian and Linglong suddenly appeared. Both of them were dumbstruck as they looked at their surroundings.
Before they could finish their words, the Lotus Thearch had already sent them out, catching them off guard.
"What's going on with Senior Lotus Thearch?"
Shen Tian scratched his head, confused.
"Perhaps it's because Senior Lotus Thearch is tired and wants to rest."
Princess Linglong laughed lightly. Shen Tian didn't know what happened, but she had seen everything clearly.
Lotus Thearch's avatar must have been destroyed too many times and needed to recuperate.
That's right, that should be it!
However, the fact that Shen Tian was able to break the tomb showed how talented he was.
Looking at Shen Tian's handsome face, Princess Linglong's face unconsciously turned red.
Since he's so formidable, I must definitely rope him in for the sake of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty!
Even if... I have to give myself to him!
Shen Tian didn't suspect anything. He rubbed his chin. "Senior Lotus Thearch is indeed very thoughtful.
"He can even watch the deep sea at night while sleeping with that hole!
"Not bad, this life is really enviable!"
On the other hand, the Lotus Thearch let out a sneeze.
He then rubbed his nose and said, "What's going on? Could it be that I have become old?"
Who knew how a remnant soul could actually sneeze?
"What plans does Big Brother Shen Tian have next?"
Since they had already left the tomb, this meant that this adventure was almost over. When she thought about how she wouldn't be able to see his charming face after parting with him, Princess Linglong's heart was filled with reluctance.
"Naturally, it's time to return to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!"
Shen Tian nodded slightly. His providence had yet to recover, so he had to hide well.
The best thing would be to find some cute juniors.
Without my providence, I still feel a bit scared!
"Brother Shen Tian, why don't you follow Linglong to Middle Ground!
"Our Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty will definitely welcome Big Brother Shen Tian. My father will also be very happy to welcome you!"
Princess Linglong blushed slightly as she invited Shen Tian to the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty as a guest.
I am merely trying to rope in Big Brother Shen Tian for the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.
It's definitely not because Brother Shen Tian is handsome!
It's also not because I want to be by his side!
Everything is for the dynasty!
At that moment, the sky suddenly split open.
The void was torn apart by endless lightning streaks, forming a void passageway. A few figures walked out of the void passageway.
The person in the lead was none other than the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, who was bathed in lightning and heavenly aura.
Beside him was Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, who was wearing a purple Taoist robe.
Behind them were Zhang Yunxi, Zhang Yunting, Fang Chang, Zhao Hao, Eunuch Gui, and the others. All of them were Shen Tian's companions.
When they received news of Shen Tian, they immediately rushed over with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
"Master!"
Shen Tian was overjoyed. He no longer needed to find his own way back to the sacred ground.
"Tian'er, are you alright?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian as his heavenly aura rippled from his body.
"Junior Brother, are you alright?"
Zhang Yunxi also looked at Shen Tian with concern and worry.
As for the others, they swarmed over to ask about his well-being.
"Junior Brother, are you alright?"
"Senior Brother, are you alright?"
"Senior Brother Shen, are you alright?"
"Ahem, thank you for all your concern, everyone. I'm fine!"
At the back of the crowd, tears streamed down Eunuch Gui's face as he saw Shen Tian surrounded by everyone.
He muttered to himself, "Thank you, Concubine Lan, for protecting him in the heavens. His Highness is fine!
"After hearing about His Highness, everyone immediately rushed back to the sacred ground to help find him. It's a really touching sight.
"His Highness is so loved and respected by his Senior and Junior Brothers. No matter where Concubine Lan is now, she must definitely be smiling."
Different from the geniuses surrounding Shen Tian, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was much more rational.
He looked at Shen Tian as heavenly aura rippled over his body. "It's good that you're alright!
"Tian'er, I knew you were the Son of Providence and definitely wouldn't disappoint me!
"Just now, I used the Sacred Leader Token to sense your existence, but I was unable to do so. Did you enter some special mystic realm again?
"How was your training?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said calmly as the heavenly aura fluctuations around his body became more obvious.
"Master, I found Penglai Island with Princess Linglong some time ago.
"I have also found the Lotus Thearch's tomb and entered his trial to obtain the Lotus Thearch's inheritance!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's eyes lit up. "Penglai Island? The place where the number one Alchemy Thearch lived in seclusion?"
Shen Tian nodded. "Yes, Martial Uncle!"
"So this island in front of us is the legendary Penglai Island!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's eyes sharpened. He soon discovered Penglai Island, which was shrouded in dense mist, not far away.
He clearly knew what Penglai Island meant.
That was the inheritance ground of the number one Alchemy Thearch. There was bound to be a large number of precious herbs planted there!
During this period, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's cultivation resources had been depleted. He was just worried about not having a place to replenish his resources!
Wasn't Penglai Island a good place?
Seeing the anxious Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Shen Tian shook his head and explained, "Martial Uncle, Penglai Island is already abandoned. There are no more treasures left there."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus felt as if he had lost countless treasures, and his heart was filled with regret.
However, he quickly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "What about the Lotus Thearch's tomb? Is there anything good in the tomb?"
Shen Tian said helplessly, "The tomb is hundreds of thousands of feet deep in the sea, but—"
Before Shen Tian could finish speaking, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus abruptly dived into the water like a dragon diving into the sea. His speed was so fast that it was enough to dumbfound others!
Shen Tian, "???"
Can you at least listen to what I have to say first?
Sigh... Given your trash luck, it might not be a good thing for you to go to the tomb.
On the other side, the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader was in no hurry to explore the Lotus Thearch's tomb.
He sensed the aura on Shen Tian's body, which was several times stronger than before, and the lightning and heavenly aura around his body rippled gently.
I was right. Tian'er has definitely obtained a fortuitous opportunity!
My disciple Shen Tian indeed has the bearing of an Immortal King!
Hehehehehe!

Chapter 406: I Just Want To Gain A Fortuitous Opportunity.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader took a step forward as his body suffused with heavenly aura.
He said calmly, "Tian'er, your inauguration ceremony as a Saint is in a few days.
"This is a joyous occasion for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. All the major factions will come to congratulate us.
"Follow me back to the sacred ground to prepare for now. Do not go out anymore unless it's necessary."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had a new Saint every 100 years.
After 90 years of duty as a Saint, the remaining ten years would be spent searching for the new successor.
Although Shen Tian was the candidate to become the next Saint, the inauguration ceremony had yet to be announced to the world, and he could only hence be considered a quasi Divine Firmament Saint for now.
But during this period, he had made a name for himself in the five regions, and his reputation had even surpassed the past generations of Saints.
He could be said to be the uncrowned king, and there were legends about him all over the five regions!
Now, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was about to hold his inauguration ceremony and was prepared to announce to the world that his identity was officially confirmed.
It was likely that many people would come to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground for the banquet.
Shen Tian's eyes lit up.
The various factions will come to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to participate in my inauguration ceremony?
Doesn't this mean that the top geniuses and the Children of Providence from the various powers will also be present?
If that's the case, it will be really great!
I was just worried about not having new 'sheep'... I mean new friends!
Although Qi Shaoxuan, Princess Linglong, Wang Shenxu, and the others were all rare people with great providence and the future protagonists of the era, no one would complain about having too many 'sheep'.
After all, this was very nutritious!
Furthermore, I have always been a warm-hearted person who enjoys making friends.
I feel that I am fated to be friends with all these new 'sheep' I am about to meet. Wouldn't it be a good idea for us to paint a picture together?
"Master, don't worry! I'll definitely prepare well for it!"
Thinking about how he would soon encounter more 'sheep', Shen Tian couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, the rosary bead in Shen Tian's arms trembled slightly.
Jiu'er's vigilant voice rang out. "Master, Jiu'er feels a strong aura of resentment from Princess Linglong..."
What?
What's wrong with this woman?
Shen Tian turned around and saw Princess Linglong's resentful face.
Brother Shen is going to return to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Doesn't that mean I won't be able to see Brother Shen for a long time?
No way! No matter where Big Brother Shen goes, I will also go!
Thinking of this, Princess Linglong tidied her clothes and slowly walked toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
"Linglong greets Uncle Longyuan."
Princess Linglong took a few light steps and bowed slightly to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
"It's only been a month since we last met, and Princess Linglong's cultivation has improved again. You are truly talented."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded slightly as his body suffused heavenly aura.
He sensed that Princess Linglong's aura was stronger than when she had been on Immortal Abode Island.
It had only been a month, yet she was already able to increase her cultivation to such an extent.
Obviously, she had also obtained a huge opportunity in the Lotus Thearch's tomb.
Princess Linglong stole a glance at Shen Tian and smiled. "Uncle Longyuan is too kind. It's all thanks to Brother Shen Tian's help that my cultivation improved!"
Princess Linglong's words shocked everyone!
What kind of help could increase a person's cultivation in such a short period?
If one were to cultivate normally, it would be impossible to achieve Princess Linglong's feat.
That was unless one used some sort of special cultivation method.
For example... Dual cultivation?
Tssss~
Could it be that Junior Brother...
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and the others had strange expressions on their faces.
Zhang Yunxi's face darkened as she clenched her fists, and a cold glint could be seen in her eyes.
However, Princess Linglong didn't care. "Uncle Longyuan, can Linglong head to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to attend Brother Shen Tian's inauguration ceremony?"
Boom!
At that moment, a strange phenomenon occurred.
Zhang Yunxi's aura erupted, and a White Tiger avatar suddenly appeared behind her. It howled into the heavens, shattering the void behind her.
"Your Highness is a person of high standing, so it's not appropriate for you to stay outside for too long. You should return to Middle Ground!"
Zhang Yunxi's tone was cold, and the hostility in her eyes intensified.
Does this little demon want to pester Junior Brother?
She must be coveting Junior Brother's peerless looks!
Hmph!
This perverted fellow!
She is too much!
"The Saintess seems to have some misunderstandings about Linglong?"
When facing the overbearing Zhang Yunxi, Princess Linglong let out a light laugh, and a divine light erupted behind her.
The three Grotto-Heavens reflected each other and occupied different positions. They displayed the power of Heaven, Earth, and Man as they traversed the void.
Once they came out, Princess Linglong's aura instantly expanded, carrying a heavy pressure that swept in all directions.
The hearts of the geniuses sank. They felt as though an ancient divine mountain was pressing down on them.
Everyone was shocked.
"What kind of help did Senior Brother give Princess Linglong for her to raise her strength by so much?"
Other than using certain special methods, it was likely impossible for her cultivation to soar.
Everyone was even more certain of their guesses.
Perhaps the Saint had already undergone his first dual cultivation session!
Although the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty's Princess Linglong was barely worthy of a Son of Providence like the Saint, it was not easy for her to get past the barrier of the Saintess!
Looking at the cold Zhang Yunxi, everyone could not help but sigh.
The White Tiger avatar filled the sky as its surging aura swept through the surroundings and headed straight for the three large holes in the sky.
At once, the two peak female geniuses of the five regions were at loggerheads.
The atmosphere instantly became tense!
Seeing this, Shen Tian couldn't help but shake his head. "Princess Linglong, Senior Sister, please give me some face."
If he didn't say anything now, the two girls would probably start fighting again.
Shen Tian explained, "The reason Princess Linglong's cultivation rose so quickly was because of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill."
Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill?
Everyone was puzzled. Could they have guessed wrongly?
Just what kind of pill could have such miraculous effects, allowing one's strength to soar by such a huge margin?
Shen Tian smiled and took out a white jade bottle. "The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill can increase one's constitution and comprehension talent."
After opening the stopper, Shen Tian took out five perfectly round green pills.
In that instant, a rich fragrance filled heaven and earth.
The laws of the world constantly pressured on the pills, forming phantom images of blue lotuses that emitted surging auras.
Just by smelling the fragrance of the pill, one could even feel that their cultivation was rising and that they had gained enlightenment regarding their Daos.
Everyone was shocked. They had never seen such a strange pill before.
It was like a supreme pill refined from the essence of the sun and moon.
"Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Senior Sister Yunxi, Junior Brother Zhao Hao, and Uncle Gui!
"I prepared for each of you a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. After you all take it, your natural constitution and cultivation will definitely rise to another level!"
Shen Tian handed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to everyone one by one without any reluctance in his eyes. After all, he had joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground for so long, so he treated it as his home.
These fellow disciples may be 'sheep' to Shen Tian, but they were also family.
That was especially so for Uncle Gui. To Shen Tian, he was no different from family.
Thus, Shen Tian was willing to give the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to Uncle Gui without any hesitation.
However, even though Shen Tian was willing to do so, the other geniuses felt extremely embarrassed.
"I can't accept this precious treasure."
"This is your opportunity, Your Highness. How can you give it to me?"
"This is such a supreme treasure. Senior Brother should save it to exchange for treasures of the same value in the future!"
"Even without the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, this Saintess won't lose to this princess. If the princess surnamed Shi has the ability and balls to fight me again, bring it on!"
"Sister, don't be rash. She is the princess of Middle Ground's Royal Family. Peace is the most precious thing~"
Everyone couldn't help but clench their fists tightly when they received the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill from Shen Tian, but they subconsciously declined.
Well, although they verbally said no, their bodies were very honest.
This wasn't embarrassing for them because the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was just too extraordinary.
Even though everyone's reservations made them want to decline, their physical bodies' desire for this pill made them unable to let it go.
This made them realize just how precious and extraordinary this pill was.
Pills that could reconstruct one's constitution and increase one's talent were priceless.
If this was taken to the outside world, it could be exchanged for a large number of precious treasures.
However, Shen Tian was still willing to share it with everyone. This made them feel both grateful and impressed.
Our sect's Saint indeed has the bearing of a young sovereign!
"Fellow Brothers and Sisters, there's no need to stand on ceremony. I've already taken this pill, and everyone can only take it once.
"Even if I keep it, it's going to be useless. I might as well give it to all of you to raise your strength.
"In the future, we can move unhindered through the five regions together and reign invincible."
Shen Tian urged with a smile when he saw that everyone was embarrassed.
The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was useless to Shen Tian, but it was incomparably precious to the others.
Moreover, these people were all good friends of Shen Tian. If their strength increased, Shen Tian would be able to harvest 'sheep' better too!
"We will remember the kindness of the Saint!"
The four youths from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground looked at each other. The three men's eyes revealed their inferiority and respect.
Zhang Yunxi held the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill tightly and glanced at Princess Linglong.
Did this little girl's cultivation increase greatly because she ate this supreme pill?
Hmph!
After I fully absorb the effects of this pill as well, I must let this fellow know that my Junior Brother isn't that easy to woo!
Eunuch Gui held the pill in his hands and said. "Your Highness had refined such a supreme pill? If Consort Lan was able to see this scene, she would definitely feel gratified."
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and the others' eyes were flushed, and they couldn't wait to take the pill.
Shen Tian couldn't help but remind them, "Everyone, let's head to Penglai Island first."
Could it be that they wanted to absorb the pill in mid-air?
Weren't they afraid of falling into the sea halfway?
"Junior Brother is right!"
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and the others blushed and hurriedly flew toward Penglai Island.
Soon, they arrived at Penglai Island and consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
For a moment, the five of them fell into silence.
Dazzling green light continuously flashed within their bodies. Laws rampaged about inside their bodies, changing their physiques.
Shen Tian smiled when he saw such a scene.
After everyone received their Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, their providence also greatly increased.
Although the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was a derivative of Princess Linglong's fortuitous encounter and wasn't as beneficial as if it was their own fortuitous encounter, it couldn't hide the fact that the effects of this pill were just too awesome!
After everyone absorbed Shen Tian's pill, the color of the halo above their heads instantly became much brighter.
Joy appeared on Shen Tian's face as he looked at the various colored light rings above everyone's heads.
His 'sheep' were growing stronger and stronger. Was there still a need to worry that their providence would not improve in the future?
At this time, a great vortex appeared on the calm sea surface, as if a great terror was occurring.
Waves surged from the deep sea to the surface!
Boom!
The sound was earth-shattering!
A pillar of water shot up 30km into the sky as a figure fell down!
"I've really seen a ghost!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus let out a miserable cry and smashed a huge pit into the ground of Penglai Island!
"Martial Uncle, what happened?"
Shen Tian was puzzled. Didn't Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus go to search for the Lotus Thearch's tomb? Why did it feel like someone had kicked him out?
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus crawled out of the pit, looking rather disheveled. His violet robe was in tatters, and his body was charred black. There was even a faint fragrance of cooked flesh coming from him...
"Senior Brother, have you found the Lotus Thearch's tomb?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's indifferent voice sounded as the heavenly aura around his body gently rippled.
"Cough cough. Of course I found the tomb! That Lotus Thearch was so good to me that he even sent me out personally."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus pretended to be calm, but the corners of his lips were twitching violently.
He had indeed found the location of the tomb, but he was unable to enter.
Countless array formations were set up outside the tomb, completely sealing everything inside.
However, given Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's temper, how could he leave so easily knowing that the treasure was right in front of him?
Furthermore, this was the Lotus Thearch's tomb.
The Lotus Thearch was known for his benevolence and good temper. He probably wouldn't have set up a killing formation in front of his tomb.
Besides!
If even that brat Shen Tian could enter, why couldn't he?
With that thought in mind, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had picked up his golden staff and rushed into the formation, hoping to open up a path.
However, only after entering the formation did Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus discover that this was indeed not a killing formation.
Nonetheless, when it came to beating people up, it was even more ruthless than a killing formation.
These array formations seemed to be controlled by someone as they constantly gathered their power to attack Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
Endless divine flames surged from the formation, burning him.
Even though Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had an extremely high cultivation base, he still couldn't withstand this power. He was burned to the point where he had to run away in a sorry state.
However, these formations seemed like they were venting their anger.
They directly pressed Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus into the sea and gave him a beating, to the point it made him have doubts about his life.
Didn't I just want to go to the Lotus Thearch's Tomb to train and gain some fortuitous opportunities?
It was fine if I didn't get the opportunity, but why was the Lotus Thearch so violent?
Not only did he not talk about martial virtue, but he even hit this old Daoist priest!
All that's left in my heart is bitterness!

Chapter 407: My Disciple Shen Tian Indeed Has The Bearing Of An Immortal King!
Avatars were everywhere on Penglai Island!
Zhang Yunxi sat cross-legged, engulfed in a dazzling, divine light.
Waves of pure medicinal energy were being refined and seeped into every single part of her. She glowed all over.
Behind her, a 10,000-feet White Tiger avatar filled the air, roaring into the skies and shattering the fabrics of space!
Mixed Divine Lightning radiated outward, dazzling and magnificent as if a Lightning God was about to destroy the world!
Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning and the White Tiger avatar merged to form multiple golden lightning bolts. Their aura was vibrant and mighty.
Roar!
The tiger's roar shook the earth!
Dazzling light shot through the air covering the entire sky and shaking the mountains and rivers!
At the same time, another avatar rose.
It was a massive Qilin whose tremendous aura swept across the entire region. Countless beams of Five Elements Divine Light shot out, engulfing the whole world in its spectacular light!
Beams of divine light crisscrossed the entire sky and earth as if it was a massive divine array staking out this whole area.
This was the Mighty Qilin avatar. It was a fearsome sight!
Light radiated from Fang Chang's body as magic arrays filled the air!
His aura kept increasing, and a 1,000-foot golden giant avatar appeared behind him. It intersected with the Mighty Qilin avatar.
One by one, multiple fearsome and mighty avatars appeared, enveloping the entire Penglai Island.
The auras of Zhang Yunting, Zhao Hao, Eunuch Gui, and the rest were all enhanced, dominating the entire region.
Their foundation and cultivation abilities were all rapidly increasing due to the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.
Especially Zhao Hao and Eunuch Gui, who both had weaker cultivation abilities and foundations, benefited the most.
Zhao Hao was just a normal prodigy from Fog City, and even though Sword Venerable Qian Yang mentored him, his foundation was still somewhat weaker than Fang Chang and the rest.
This gap between him and the rest had been there since they were children, and it was not something that could be closed up within a year and a half.
After all, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunxi had already cultivated the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra to the highest levels and achieved the Lightning Spirit Constitution.
After finding the Decalamity chapter, both Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi had progressed so much that they were now in the initial stages of forming a miniature Five Elements Divine Lightning Constitution.
As for Zhang Yunting, he was the same as his father, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. They were both very secretive about their powers.
Even Fang Chang had no idea just how powerful his Second Junior Brother was.
However, given his past performance, he should not be that far off from Fang Chang or Zhang Yunxi.
Zhao Hao was also a great prodigy and was often touted as the fourth most powerful in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, after Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunxi.
If he really wanted to catch up with those three, he had to cultivate hard for at least another three to five years.
But now, after consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, Zhao Hao's foundation and talent were increasing at an astonishing pace. The surging power of the pill washed over his entire body, completely transforming him.
After swallowing that pill, Zhao Hao would never have to feel inferior to anyone again about his constitution.
This was because he had already achieved one of the most elite divine constitutions in the entire Eastern Wilderness and even across the five regions!
Of course, it was still far from Shen Tian's freakish constitution.
Nevertheless, one could not compare with Shen Tian, or they would have to hide in shame all the time.
Apart from that, all the surrounding fire-attribute Spirit Qi surged wildly into Zhao Hao's body. His cultivation level shot up like a rocket.
A Golden Core hovered over Zhao Hao's body. It shone with boundless flame and lightning. It even had a faint image of a crimson Phoenix circling it.
It circled rapidly round after round, its aura rapidly strengthening.
A normal cultivator would need many years to stabilize their Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage, but Zhao Hao was doing so with extraordinary ease.
This was not all. After Zhao Hao's Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage was completed, things did not end there.
Yes, his Golden Core... was undergoing its 10th refinement!
It should be pointed out that reaching the Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage meant pushing right to the uppermost limits!
Why did Qi Shaoxuan dare to crush all the Eastern Wilderness prodigies and even challenge Middle Ground?
He was confident solely because of his powerful Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage! It was a rare stage that one might only see in Eastern Wilderness once every 10,000 years!
But now, Zhao Hao had easily achieved it!
It should be pointed out that just a year ago, he was just a mediocre youth whose cultivation level was only subpar!
If Zhao Hao reaching the Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage was jaw-dropping, then Eunuch Gui's transformation was downright mind-blowing.
Yes!
This old eunuch's body radiated a mighty sun aura as if he had morphed into an indomitable sun.
After cultivating the Imperial Sutra of Sun, he and Qin Gao had managed to mend their physical defects. They then raised their cultivation levels by gradually consuming spirit herbs.
Even so, the gulf between Eunuch Gui and a true prodigy remained wide. This was a gulf determined by one's innate potential. It was not something that would be easy to surpass.
After consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, however, Eunuch Gui could feel his entire body on the rise.
Parts of the Imperial Sutra of Sun, which he couldn't understand before, suddenly made sense to him. The parts where the energy flow was disrupted now circulated very smoothly.
His power was surging like a great river, his aura at exceptionally high levels!
A dazzling Golden Core was spinning non-stop above his head!
Yes, it was also the legendary extreme Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage!
If Qi Shaoxuan had witnessed this scene, he would have already collapsed to his knees in bewilderment, having strong doubts about the meaning of life!
When did a Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage become so worthless? Anyone with a Golden Core could achieve it!?
At that moment, everyone finally realized how freakishly potent the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill that Shen Tian just handed out was!
Shen Tian had said this could "enhance one's foundation and ability to decipher things". He was being way too modest—this thing could make a person undergo a complete transformation!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was completely stunned by this scene. He looked bewildered. "What the hell did I miss?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was bewildered. He had just left for a minute. How did these Martial Nephews of his suddenly become so much more powerful?
I was so hardworking as to go and find some fortuitous opportunities. Not only did I not find any, but I even got beaten up.
These few kids didn't even do anything but managed to gain such a great fortuitous opportunity and undergo such a wonderful transformation!?
Not only had their cultivations increased, but even their innate potential had risen dramatically!
It was completely ridiculous. Was there still justice in this world?
Azure Lotus was pulling out his hair at this point!
Meanwhile, everyone had more or less refined the pills to the maximum level which they could.
They could only refine a small portion, so they distributed and stored the rest to the other parts of their bodies.
Even so, the refined part of the pill was enough to greatly increase their cultivation!
Boom!
A powerful aura surged like a hurricane across the lands.
Zhang Yunxi's cultivation level was rapidly increasing!
Early-Stage Nascent Soul!
Mid-Stage Nascent Soul!
Late-Stage Nascent Soul!
Peak-Stage Nascent Soul!
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yunxi's cultivation level soared, and she successfully jumped from Early-Stage Nascent Soul to Peak-Stage Nascent Soul!
Boom!
Zhang Yunxi shot up into the air. Her battle intent was focused on Princess Linglong. "Princess Linglong, let's fight another round."
This girl was slightly better than me only because she consumed the pill first.
Now that my cultivation level has also risen, I must let her experience my power!
I must let her know that not just anyone can woo my Junior Brother!
Zhang Yunxi's desire for battle became increasingly intense. Her White Tiger avatar erupted with dazzling lightning, her aura rising to terrifying levels.
Given Zhang Yunxi's present power, she was confident of defeating even a normal Soul Formation cultivator.
Upon detecting Zhang Yunxi's desire for battle, Princess Linglong's three Grotto-Heavens rose up behind her. She exuded an endless glow, which enveloped her entire body, making her appear rather mystical.
Princess Linglong snorted. "Let's fight then. Who's afraid of you?"
Dazzling light rays shot out of the three Grotto-Heavens, charging straight toward Zhang Yunxi.
Boom!
The three Grotto-Heavens and the White Tiger avatar clashed together, sending off a series of impact waves. Even the fabrics of space started to crack.
It was an even match!
The bodies of the two ladies trembled, but their thirst for battle grew even more intense.
Both of them were outstanding female prodigies at the top of their generation. No one was willing to give way.
Moreover, this was a battle to prove their mettle!
To prove who was good enough to stand by Shen Tian's side.
As a result, both of them went all out!
Boom!
Zhang Yunxi struck again and formed streaks of Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning, which carried the aura of devastating firepower.
After her cultivation level and constitution rose, Zhang Yunxi became better at controlling the Mixed Divine Lightning. Her power was enough to annihilate a formidable Heavenly Venerable.
The Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning spread out, and every inch of space it came into contact with disintegrated into nothing.
Princess Linglong remained calm. Her three Grotto-Heavens' aura surged out to form a colossal tripod cauldron.
This was the Lotus Thearch's legacy battle technique. Princess Linglong was able to execute it easily. Her aura was exceedingly suppressive!
Dong, dong, dong!
Flames roared up into the skies!
The Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning raged on as the tripod cauldron hummed.
Tens of thousands of dazzling divine light beams shot out, shattering the surrounding fabrics of space and turning the entire area into a mass of debris.
"These two young ladies are quite fierce!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stood by the side watching, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yunxi.
He wanted to know what had triggered such a major change in Zhang Yunxi.
If I can get the same, won't I be able to ascend the heavens then?
At that thought, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' face lit up. He hurried asked, "Junior Brother, what medicine did my Martial Niece eat to become so formidable?"
It must be some very potent medicine to allow her to jump from Early-Stage Nascent Soul to Peak-Stage Nascent Soul within such a short period!
If I can get some, I might instantly transcend!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. "Didn't Senior Brother already find the Lotus Thearch's legacy? Why would you care about the fortuitous opportunities of these kids?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' face turned red. He pursed his lips. "Of course, I don't care about that. I am just showing concern for my Martial Niece."
He inwardly grumbled, I didn't get a single thing. How can I possibly not care? If there is really a fortuitous opportunity, I must have a share too! Otherwise, how am I supposed to cultivate when I have no resources at all!
Following that, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus turned to look at Shen Tian.
Shen Tian felt his gaze and smiled. "Martial Uncle, what's the matter?"
For some reason, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' heart shuddered upon seeing Shen Tian's smile.
Shen Tian's question was like a big, fat punch to him, driving him into a panic. And that was not your normal big, fat punch!
It was like being surrounded and battered by the array formations of 10 Thearchs for 15 minutes!
As high as my cultivation level is, I cannot endure such a formidable battering! It was such an intensely terrifying experience!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus felt a lingering fear in his heart.
What if this kid said there is a fortuitous opportunity somewhere? Should I go or not? Not everyone can be like that kid, able to hold himself no matter what he encounters.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus chose the safe option. "Nothing, I can just go ask my Martial Niece."
The main reason was that the others were still cultivating in seclusion. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was ignoring him, while he did not dare to ask Shen Tian.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had no choice but to find Zhang Yunxi.
Zhang Yunxi was still fighting with Princess Linglong.
But I don't care! It's just two little girls making a fuss. It's about time they stopped this nonsense. I have more important things to do!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus strode confidently onto the battlefield.
Shen Tian raised his eyebrows. He was watching the battle and saw that it was already at hair-raising levels beyond many Heavenly Venerables.
Even a peak Heavenly Venerable might not be able to defend against them.
It was such an intense battle. It was clear that both girls' battle fires had been lit, and they were giving it their all.
Now that Heavenly Venerable Azure was going to walk right into the fray, Shen Tian quickly warned him, "Martial Uncle, be careful. They are about to—"
Heavenly Venerable Azure interrupted Shen Tian with a wave of his hand. "Don't worry. Given my cultivation level, they are unable to hurt me at all!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stood up. "Martial Niece, Little Linglong, please stop for a moment. I have something to say—
"Damn!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus cried out as he jumped three feet into the air. If he had reacted a second too late, he would have been swallowed by the divine blast.
Boom!
A divine aura erupted, shaking the entire region!
Shen Tian shook his head and turned to look at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. "Martial Uncle, I already tried to warn you. They were about to execute a big move!"
Martial Uncle Azure Lotus was an example of a good senior citizen. He was trying to show his fellow cultivators by example what would happen if one tried to intervene in a fight. Unless you were very handsome, please do not try what he just did.
Even if you had to, don't just cut in at any place. Certainly not right in the middle!
Otherwise, the consequences would be dire!
Boom!
The surrounding fabrics of space exploded!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was near the center of the blast and suffered an intense blow.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yunxi was bathed in dazzling lightning, her Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning covering her body like armor and merging with her body.
This was from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's forbidden chapter, Decalamity!
After breaking through to Peak-Stage Nascent Soul, Zhang Yunxi had already mastered the essence of Decalamity.
She morphed into the Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning source and had full control of it. Her power was terrifying to the extreme.
Countless lightning bolts were triggered, thundering and roaring through space, as if about to completely destroy this entire area.
The aura of every single lightning bolt was very fearsome. It possessed a power enough to threaten even a mighty Heavenly Venerable!
If trapped by such a massive lightning array, even a peak Heavenly Venerable would perish inside.
Zhang Yunxi had undergone a tremendous change after consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. It was not just a simple increase of her cultivation level!
Princess Linglong also executed a big move!
Her three Grotto-Heavens burned strongly, exuding light and magic.
Three figures appeared, one in each Grotto-Heaven, surrounded by the Heavenly Dao.
The three figures moved in unison, raising their arms and creating a massive handprint—it released a palm strike that was enough to turn the world upside down!
Space was compressed by limitless energy, disintegrating into nothing!
This attack was the ultimate technique of the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra—Earthshaking Palm Print!
Princess Linglong was the Celestial Dynasty's princess and Huang Shi's direct descendant. She had a deep understanding of the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra and was naturally able to decipher the essence of this legacy.
With the power of her three Grotto-Heavens enhancing the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra, even a peak Heavenly Venerable might not be able to withstand her attack!
In the blink of an eye, a fearsome aura erupted on the battlefield.
This was no ordinary attack!
Princess Linglong and the Divine Firmament Saintess were going all out, and... Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was standing right in the middle!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus suddenly realized what was meant by, "One should always fear the power of the younger generation"!
Mmm, he also realized what was meant by, "One should always fear the power of women"!
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom resounded!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was sent flying through the air.
Countless lightning bolts and the Earthshaking Palm Print clashed, sending sparks all over the area!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus quickly recomposed himself, erupted with a golden light, and a powerful gust of aura surged out.
Boom!
The lighting array was shattered, and a bronze staff pierced the massive handprint.
A golden, shimmering old Taoist priest was left standing there alone, holding a huge golden staff. He looked very cool and awesome.
Well!
Also, a little pathetic!
Heavenly Venerable Azure's hair was in disarray, and his new purple robe was once again torn and tattered. He was also coughing out white smoke.
Princess Linglong and Zhang Yunxi were startled by the sight and rushed to his side. "Martial Uncle, are you alright?"
"I am fine. Who do you think I am? Your attacks are just a tickle to my side!"
If not for the fact that Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was still panting with smoke coming out his ears, everyone might have really believed him.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus tidied his hair and smiled. "Martial Niece, can you tell me how you managed to raise your powers so fast?"
Zhang Yunxi was momentarily taken aback. "It is all thanks to Junior Brother's Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!"
She was filled with doubts and suspicions.
Martial Uncle Azure Lotus came to stop our battle just for this?
Impossible!
Junior Brother must have asked him to come to smooth things out! After all, everyone knows about Junior Brother's Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills. Martial Uncle Azure Lotus cannot possibly not know about it!
He is clearly pretending to cover up for Junior Brother.
Junior Brother does care for me, after all.
Zhang Yunxi blushed at this thought.
Meanwhile, Princess Linglong was also blushing. It was clear that the two of them were having the exact same thoughts.
What? I expended so much energy, and the thing was actually with Shen Tian all along!?
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' face turned black. His newly-tidied hair nearly blew up again!
Nonetheless, he quickly changed his expression and was all smiles again.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus rubbed his hands and walked toward Shen Tian. "Martial Nephew, I think your Master wants some of those pills. Why don't you give me two? I will help you deliver them to him."
Shen Tian, "..."
The crowd, "..."
Zhang Yunxi couldn't help calling out, "Martial Uncle, you are being too straightforward!"
Which Martial Uncle would ever beg their Martial Nephew for something? And using his Martial Nephew's Master as a scapegoat on top of that!?
He really lived up to his reputation!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus just pursed his lips in nonchalance.
Pride? How much is that worth?
These kids' power was enhanced to extreme levels. Meanwhile, I poured in so much effort and didn't reap any rewards. I even got beaten up.
He felt rather sour inwardly!
Who cares if I lose a little of my dignity today. I must get one of those pills.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader knew very well what Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was thinking. He grabbed Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus by the back of his neck, exuded his oppressive aura, and dragged Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus back.
Divine light shot out of a chain array, tying up Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said mildly, "This kind of pill is not that useful to you. Senior Brother, don't waste precious treasures!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus struggled and shouted. "I just want a taste! Just a taste!"
Shen Tian smiled and shook his head. "Master, these pills are just as effective toward Sages who have undergone tribulations!
"The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was refined using a 12th Stage Lotus and is a true-blue Thearch-level pill.
"Even a True Sage will be able to see his foundation and innate ability to decipher greatly increase!
"Master, Martial Uncle, I have specially reserved these two pills for you."
Shen Tian took out two Chaotic Sky-Mending pills and handed them to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
"Thearch-level pill? I want it!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' eyes lit up.
A Thearch-level pill that can raise a Sage's innate ability? Too tempting!
Without another word, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus snatched one of the pills from the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's hand. He held it tightly in his own hand. "Martial Nephew, how can I accept this?"
Immediately after, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stuffed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader behaved with much more dignity. His lightning and heavenly aura vibrated intensely, but his voice remained calm.
"Tian'er is so filial. I am very happy! But this is a Thearch-level pill. Tian'er, you should keep it for yourself. You might have some use for it in the future. I have no need for it."
Shen Tian bowed. "Master has been so kind to me and taught me so much since I entered the sect. You have guided me and protected me from powerful foes. My current cultivation level and achievements, I owe them all to you. I would be nothing without you! This Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill is the least I can do. Please accept it."
"Tian'er, I really don't need it."
"Master, please accept it!"
"I don't need it. Why don't you give it to the other disciples!"
"If you ever have such a need in the future, I can refine more. Master, please don't stand on ceremony then!"
"You can refine more?"
"As long as I have the materials, I can refine more anytime!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled wildly.
He finally said in resignation. "Alright then, Since you insist, I will accept it."
With that, the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill and started to refine its power.
Mmm, there was no need to say anything more.
That earlier exchange showed clearly the difference between the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
Otherwise, why had the Second Senior Brother ended up being the Sacred Leader?
Virtue over seniority!
Of course, the intense vibration of the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader aura clearly reflected the turbulent emotions inside his heart.
Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill~
A Thearch-level pill that could raise a Sage's innate potential was unheard of. One could not get this even in exchange for a top Sage artifact!
The most powerful practitioners across the five regions would fight like mad for this kind of peerless divine pill!
Yet, Shen Tian was able to refine more of such pills without limit!
With such a pill, my Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will definitely rise again!
My disciple indeed has the bearing of an Immortal King!
Hehehehehehe!

Chapter 408: Heavenly Dao Is Unfair!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus sat down cross-legged after consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
Their aura surged and kept on increasing, and the heavenly aura around them turned into a divine rainbow that pierced through the sky.
The entire sky transformed in the blink of an eye.
Clouds gathered like huge waves, which instantly made the atmosphere extremely depressing.
That was the Heavenly Tribulation that would occur when Sages advanced in their cultivation. It was terrifying and could easily wipe out living beings weaker than Sages.
Of course, monstrous geniuses like Shen Tian were an exception.
The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's destiny-changing effect could allow even the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, who had already transcended the tribulation to become a Sage, to have a complete transformation, improving his strength greatly.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's constitution was transforming, and his whole body was shining.
Fearsome Mixed Divine Lightning was generated ceaselessly as if the Lightning Emperor had descended.
Chi!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader traveled through space and directly entered the sky.
Endless lightning clouds gathered and completely covered the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. A frightening aura spread throughout the whole area as if wanting to annihilate all the living creatures beneath it.
Space collapsed under the pressure of the lightning clouds, forming fearsome turbulent pockets of void.
Lightning struck endlessly as the lightning laws turned violent as if wanting to strike the person transcending the tribulation into ashes!
The good thing was that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was transcending the tribulation in the turbulent void, so there was not much influence on the outer world.
Otherwise, given the lightning bolts' power, they were enough to destroy the entire area within 1,000 miles.
Those Heavenly Tribulation clouds became even thicker and emitted a soul-stirring aura.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was fearless, and the lightning and heavenly aura surrounding him were unleashed to the maximum.
He held the Lightning Celestial Sword in one hand and the golden scripture in the other. There were even the 10 Lightning Beasts behind him, surrounding and protecting him.
Soon, the lightning turned into sharp blades covering the sky, and lightning aura pervaded the whole area, its light blinding. Everyone felt shocked as if facing the power of heaven.
All the prodigies raised their heads and looked toward the sky—they were full of excitement as they saw that majestic figure in the sky.
Their Sacred Leader was actually this powerful.
Boom!
The sound of thunder was deafening!
Lightning flashed within the Heavenly Tribulation clouds that were as black as ink.
The Heavenly Tribulation Lightning was tens of thousands of feet in length and struck the ground as if wanting to annihilate all living beings!
The Heavenly Tribulation Lightning was like a lightning dragon that bathed in bright lightning, bearing its teeth and roaring with fury.
Space was distorted wherever the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning traveled, turning the endless turbulent void unstable. Nothing could escape its power.
Even normal Sages were unable to stop that Heavenly Tribulation Lightning at all—their physical bodies would definitely get destroyed, and they would die under the Heavenly Tribulation if they did.
However, the person who was transcending the tribulation was one of the two prodigies from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Zhang Longyuan.
He was one of the strongest even amongst all the other Sages.
The heavenly aura surrounding the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader fluctuated vigorously as the 10 Lightning Beasts soared in the sky and collided with the endless lightning bolts.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader waved the Lightning Celestial Sword in his hand lightly, and endless lighting gathered, forming a huge blade made of lightning and piercing through the sky.
That sword seemed to be able to split the Heavenly Tribulation cloud.
Boom!
Lighting blade aura collided with the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Dragon, and the powerful impact shook the place and even the turbulent void.
Endless lightning struck and suddenly dispersed, scattering in all directions.
It was, in the end, the Heavenly Tribulation of a Sage, so it had boundless power that normal Sages could not block.
Even if the lightning blade aura had dispersed most of the strength and made the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Dragon shrink to only dozens of feet in length, the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Dragon continued charging toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
In that instant, the radiating light was as bright as the sun and could even light up the whole place.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was covered by endless Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, and the heavenly aura around him fluctuated to the extreme.
Two different lightning powers kept on entangling each other, and they actually seemed to be merging.
Afterward, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader completely assimilated the endless Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, which in turn turned into pure energy and entered his body, allowing his aura to increase exponentially.
Obviously, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had successfully transcended this tribulation and even absorbed a portion of the Heavenly Tribulation's power.
It was highly beneficial to his cultivation.
According to rumors, Sages would need to undergo Heavenly Tribulation for each advancement in stage. This piece of information was actually true.
The Sages' Heavenly Tribulation would not only put the Sage's strength to the test, but it would also improve one's cultivation level greatly. As long as one could successfully transcend the tribulation, their physical body would be strengthened by the lightning tribulation. Thus, they would undergo a complete transformation.
Both their physical strength and Dharmic power would become much more powerful and purer—it could be said to be an improvement in quality!
That was so for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. After transcending the tribulation, the heavenly aura surrounding him turned even brighter, making him seem as if he was an Immortal Celestial that had fallen into the mortal world.
However, this was not the end!
Lightning clouds still gathered in the sky, and deafening thunder and blinding lightning could be seen as the lightning clouds accumulated more and more terrifying power.
The Heavenly Tribulation Lightning was amassing, seemingly able to burst out anytime!
That power was even more terrifying than before!
The Heavenly Tribulation Lightning for each advancement in stage was also the same—its strength would increase with each stage!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not mind. On the contrary, he took the initiative to fly toward the sky.
His body erupted with endless lightning, and the 10 Lightning Beast avatars behind him unleashed lightning and heavenly aura continuously, covering the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader completely. It was as if he had turned into the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and controlled the Heavenly Tribulation of heaven and earth!
That was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's forbidden chapter that allowed the cultivator to become one with the lightning tribulation, Decalamity!
The power unleashed by that forbidden art was extremely fearsome in the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's hands!
Endless lightning trembled as if wanting to submit to that majestic figure.
Even the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning in the sky was influenced and fluctuated vigorously, resulting in its aura filling the sky.
Boom!
The Heavenly Tribulation Lightning surged out but was surrounded and attacked by lightning from all directions.
The two different colored flashes of lightning intertwined and continued wearing down each others' strength.
However, the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning did, in the end, signify the Heavenly Dao, so it was extremely powerful, unable to be blocked by just normal lightning.
In that instant, the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning broke through the other lightning's encirclement.
The Heavenly Tribulation Lightning was split by endless lightning, so a large portion of its strength was consumed. Thus, even if the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning struck the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, its power would not be as much as before.
In that instant, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning was completely absorbed by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, thus increasing his strength again!
The Heavenly Tribulation clouds shook vigorously and circled in the sky for a long time, as if reluctant to leave but had no other choice.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader descended and appeared before everyone.
Everyone went up and congratulated, "Congratulations to Master (Sacred Leader) for advancing!"
Shen Tian could not help but exclaim as he looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader who had improved exponentially.
Master has indeed concealed his real strength!
Even transcending the tribulation is par for the course for him.
I feel really secure with such a Master as my backing!
The others were also overjoyed as the more powerful the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was, the better it was for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Currently, among the top five Divine Firmament prodigies, two of them were the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's offspring, while the other three were his personal disciples.
Therefore, everyone was delighted to see the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's increase in strength!
The heavenly aura surrounding the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader shone brightly. He spoke calmly. "It's all due to Tian'er's Sky-Mending Pill."
If it was not for the effects of the pill that allowed the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's constitution to be enhanced and his cultivation level increased, it would not be that simple for him to survive the tribulation.
Since it was a Sage Heavenly Tribulation, and even two continuous ones, it was enough to wipe out most Sages.
However, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader used the power of the Sky-Mending Pill to undergo an extraordinary transformation, and even his future cultivation would be more stable.
If he continued cultivating this way, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had the confidence of becoming a Thearch!
As expected of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, which can help one change one's destiny!
Hehehehehe!
The vigorous vibration of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura proved how unsettled he was.
"Argh! I'm going to break through too!" shouted Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus suddenly.
He flew into the sky while leaving a gold light trail behind him!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had also absorbed the Sky-Mending Pill, so his cultivation level increased greatly.
Even the golden light on the surface of his body turned even brighter, and the aura around him became denser.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had also reached the bottleneck in this instant and was about to transcend the tribulation of a Sage!
In that instant, everyone's attention was attracted to him.
Even The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader stared straight at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus!
He also wanted to see what his Senior Brother could achieve after consuming the Sky-Mending Pill!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus radiated golden light like the sun and pointed his golden staff straight at the sky, setting off how majestic his body was.
It was as if he was saying, "I'm going to dominate the heavens!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus continued absorbing the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's medicinal essence, which made his aura's strength increase explosively.
Upon sensing his constitution's enhancement and increase in cultivation level, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' confidence went through the roof, and he shouted to the sky, "If I was not born, then there would be no hope for the Dao, just like endless dark days! Now, I will use my staff to prove my Dao and to defeat the Sage Heavenly Tribulation!"
His bold aura surged toward the sky, intimidating even the heavens.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's First Senior Brother, who loved showing off, was back!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was imposing with his back straightened and chest held high toward the sky!
I feel that I've regained my confidence after eating this pill! How could just a trivial tribulation stop me?
His staff shot out golden light, which turned into a golden rainbow and pierced straight into the sky as if wanting to stir up the clouds.
In that instant, the Heavenly Tribulation clouds in the sky gathered, and Heavenly Tribulation Lightning could be seen yet again!
But that was not all!
As if being interrupted by Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' attack, those Heavenly Tribulation clouds that had yet to disperse after the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's Heavenly Tribulation were also drawn.
In that instant, the Heavenly Tribulation cloud became even denser.
One could imagine that the power of two Heavenly Tribulations was even more fearsome than when the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was transcending the tribulation!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was stunned, and he opened his eyes widely.
F*ck! It can't be!?
No one expected that those two Heavenly Tribulations would merge together.
That made the strength of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' Heavenly Tribulation to increase by two times!
"So what if it's two times the Heavenly Tribulation? I'll use my staff to smash through the Heavenly Tribulation! Whoever blocks me shall die!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus gulped down his saliva and smiled boldly while putting up a front before heading toward the Heavenly Tribulation fearlessly!
He still had to prove himself no matter how frightening the Heavenly Tribulation was!
Since all his juniors were present, he still had his reputation and dignity to uphold!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus radiated golden light brightly, and an endless heavenly aura was created, covering the whole sky!
He wanted to fight with the Heavenly Tribulation himself!
The surrounding Divine Firmament disciples were all touched and astounded as they witnessed that scene!
The eyes of Fang Chang, Zhao Hao, and the others were even filled with admiration, and they could not help but exclaim.
"Martial Uncle is so strong! Is this his true strength!?"
"The First Senior Brother of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground in the past? He actually possessed the strength to go against heaven!"
"I, Fang Chang, might have really misunderstood Martial Uncle in the past! My forbearance pales in comparison to Martial Uncle Azure Lotus!"
Only Shen Tian had a weird expression.
Is it really like that? Something seems wrong!
Shen Tian's eyes shone brightly as he activated his Connate Heavenly Dao Eye. Even with the heavenly aura enveloping Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Shen Tian could still see what was happening in the sky.
Not long after, Shen Tian's mouth twitched as he sighed. "Just why? Martial Uncle, you just need to peacefully survive through the tribulation, so why must you try to show off?"
In Shen Tian's memory, those that tried showing off in front of the Heavenly Tribulation had all died!
Such as a certain vine...
Fearsome Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, and bright golden Heavenly Tribulation Lightning could be seen flashing within, creating an appalling atmosphere that made others frightened.
That was the terrifying Sage Heavenly Tribulation. Originally, such a tribulation could not be underestimated, and Sages would need to use their full strength to cope with it.
Not to mention this was an unparalleled Heavenly Tribulation formed from two Heavenly Tribulations.
Since ancient times, only Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus might have encountered such a level of Heavenly Tribulation.
Even Sages would not easily transcend the tribulation.
Therefore, the chance of two Sages transcending the tribulation in the same place and similar time was extremely low.
Even if there was, most Sages would wait until the other's Heavenly Tribulation clouds dispersed before transcending the tribulation. After all, undergoing the tribulation was not child's play, and one might lose their lives with any misstep!
It was a pity that Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had only thought of showing off, so he had forgotten such a thing, resulting in the two Heavenly Tribulations merging as one.
His luck was simply beyond words!
Such a heroic deed, fearlessly sacrificing his life to teach others a lesson regarding Tribulation Transcendence—he was destined to be recorded and leave his name in history!
It might even cause a mighty uproar in the five regions and make others exclaim, "Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, a model for all Sages with himself as a counterexample, warning all cultivators to be humble and respectful when transcending tribulations, definitely don't show off!"
Even if he wanted to show off, he should not do so in front of others' Heavenly Tribulation!
Otherwise, the consequences would be dire!
Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered crazily as if amassing endless power and could erupt at any moment.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus took a deep breath and shouted toward the Heavenly Tribulation, "Bring it on if you dare. I'm not afraid of you!"
There was already no room for Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to retreat, so it was better to just face the Heavenly Tribulation head-on!
As if they had heard Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' taunt, the clouds turned even darker, and their aura became even stronger!
Boom!
Golden divine lightning struck and formed a golden flying horse which galloped toward Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was stunned. "It really dares!? See how I tear you apart!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus waved his golden staff, unleashing an overwhelming aura!
A power that could crush mountains and rivers was unleashed.
His golden staff suddenly grew larger and smashed that golden flying horse into pieces, and lightning scattered in all directions!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was stunned before laughing heartily.
"That's it? The Heavenly Tribulation's power is just that?
"It's just so-so! As expected, my staff is more powerful!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, who was originally on tenterhooks, instantly relaxed.
Given his physique and the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, both his Qi Refinement and Godfiend cultivation levels had increased greatly.
That was the reason Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was able to easily smash apart the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning!
However, how was it possible for the Sage Heavenly Tribulation to be this simple? And not to mention the fact that it was a combination of two Heavenly Tribulations?
Boom!
Another loud explosion echoed!
Lightning could be seen flashing in the Heavenly Tribulation clouds, and another three bright golden bolts of Heavenly Tribulation Lightning struck. They formed bulls that charged toward Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus!
The aura of three lightning bulls was so astonishing that it distorted the surrounding space!
The bulls were unstoppable and could crush everything standing in their path!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' pupils constricted, and his tone became serious.
"Again? You think I can't block three mere bulls? There are also three of me. Let's go!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus roared and activated his peerless technique Three Pure Ones in One Breath. His aura suddenly increased, and the laws within him then created three clones of himself.
Teenage Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and middle-aged Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus both walked out of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' shadow. The three of them stood in a row as they faced the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.
The three Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotuses all had the strength of a Sage, so it was not difficult for them to block the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.
Boom!
Another loud explosion resounded!
Even though the three bulls' lightning aura was fearsome, they were still destroyed by the three Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotuses!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's confidence inflated rapidly, and he roared, "Feel free to use all your strength! You can help me warm up!"
I thought that the Heavenly Tribulation was very frightening...
But that's all? That's its full strength?
Too weak!
If I had known earlier, then I would not have prepared beforehand and allowed my Martial Nephews and Nieces to see how talented and mighty I am!
Boom, boom, boom!
As if being enraged, the Heavenly Tribulation clouds burst out in blinding light, which could wipe out even the whole heaven and earth and turn it into ruins!
In that instant, the sky split apart, and countless golden bolts of Heavenly Tribulation Lightning gushed out, forming 10 Lightning Beasts that charged toward Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
A portion of the golden Heavenly Tribulation Lightning turned into a dragon, which roared toward the sky, whipping its large tail to smash through endless space and toward Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus!
Some turned into a White Tiger, waving their huge claws that even tore apart the laws of heaven and earth, slashing toward Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus!
There was also Crimson Phoenix, Mighty Qilin, and Black Tortoise...
An endless stream of terrifying Heavenly Tribulation Lightning overturned the whole sky and charged toward Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus!
The jaws of the three Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotuses instantly dropped, and their pupils widened.
"WTF!? Ten against three? You have no martial ethic!" roared the trio.
Boom!
At that instant, lightning struck, and lightning snakes danced, filling the entire sky with an endless sea of lightning!
Endless bolts of lightning instantly covered the three Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotuses!
"F*ck, you dare to strike me? I'm going to go all out!
"No! You f*cking lightning dragon! Where are you attacking!?
"Ah! You can't strike there!
"Arh!
"Junior Brother, save me!
"Ahhhh!
"I won't show off anymore!
"Ah!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotuses' miserable wails resounded throughout the whole place!
After a while, the Heavenly Tribulation finally unleashed all its power and stopped.
The Heavenly Tribulation clouds dispersed vividly, looking just like a winner going away with swagger and even smugness.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus also slowly floated down from the sky.
His whole body was convulsing, and golden lightning could be seen flowing in his body. His whole body and even his beard and hair were burnt black.
The old Taoist priest staggered as he walked toward everyone.
Everyone shivered as they looked at him.
Didn't Martial Uncle look energetic before? Just what happened for him to turn into this?
Shen Tian could not bear the sight and asked, "Martial Uncle, are you alright?"
Shen Tian had witnessed how miserable Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was as the Heavenly Tribulation was tormenting him.
The angered Heavenly Tribulation was brutal and inhumane, tormenting Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus until near the point of death.
It was fortunate that the old Taoist priest had a strong body, and under the enhancement of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, he barely made it through.
Otherwise, Shen Tian might not even have a Martial Uncle anymore.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was still reluctant to admit his mistake, so he said, "Just that? Of course I'm fine! It's only because I wanted the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning to strengthen my body. Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Tribulation hurt me?"
He was stubborn to admit his mistake, but he could not help but complain in his heart, F*ck, the Sage Heavenly Tribulation is too ruthless! It really did not give me any face at all. If not for my stable foundation, I might not even have been able to last through it!
Boom!
At that time, a clap of thunder echoed, while endless Heavenly Tribulation clouds surged as if they were going to gather once again.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus shrunk his body and hurriedly kept quiet, not daring to talk big anymore.
Well, I shouldn't act rashly...
Although he was in a tragic state, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had also benefited greatly. His physical body became even more crystal clear, and golden light flowed within it, containing powerful and peerless power.
That made Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus slightly comforted.
At least, I was not struck for nothing!
But why was it so simple for Junior Brother to transcend the tribulation but so difficult for me?
Heavenly Dao, oh Heavenly Dao, you are so unfair!

Chapter 409: Mecha Man: Qin Yundi!
At Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, on Saint Mountain...
Two figures morphed into lightning and shot down from the skies, destroying their surroundings.
The Divine Firmament disciples appeared and couldn't help sighing at the sight of those two.
These two were truly antsy!
The Sacred Leader had just been gone for half a day, and they were fighting again.
The surrounding disciples watched on, but none of them intervened. They knew that only someone like the Sacred Leader or Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus could subdue these two!
The two figures, one in pursuit and the other fleeing, exuded a powerful aura. Rays of divine light spread out, piercing through the fabrics of space.
The one being pursued was the fat Taoist priest.
And the one pursuing him was the pure white tortoise dressed in flowery pants.
The fat Taoist priest looked rather pathetic. His robes were torn and tattered, and he had a huge bump on his head.
Although he was fleeing, he continued to rant. "Stupid tortoise. If you continue to chase me, I will barbeque you with my Lightning Fist!"
Yes, those two fellows were Bai Di and Yue Yunde.
After the Immortal Abode Island trial, the man and tortoise had been brought back to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
The main reason was that these two chaps were major troublemakers.
One of them was a professional tomb-raider who even raided the ancestral tomb of a certain sacred ground in Middle Ground and nearly started a major war.
The tortoise was just as bad. He relied on his extreme speed and stole some high-level spirit herbs. One could not help worrying about those two.
It was just half a month to the grand Saint Coronation Ceremony. There would be visitors from everywhere. The core personnel from all the sacred grounds would be here at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
It would be a huge loss of face if anyone made a complaint then.
To be safe, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had these two troublemakers stay at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to prevent them from stirring up any more trouble.
But even while at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, those two were not behaving at all.
Those two chaps had never seen eye to eye. After the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus left the sacred ground, they started fighting again!
Bai Di morphed into a golden beam and chased after Yue Yunde.
He shouted, "Fat Taoist priest! How dare you steal my coffin! Return it to me immediately!"
Yue Yunde scurried about as he fled, looking somewhat pathetic. "That coffin is an ancient artifact I dug out during my archaeological expedition. Who said it is yours? Why don't you call it? See if it answers you?"
Bai Di flew into a rage. "Would you have managed to get so many items without me?"
Yue Yunde retorted, "You would not have gotten anything without me either!"
With that, Yue Yunde took out treasure after treasure and tossed them at Bai Di!
Every single artifact was shiny and looked extraordinary. They were supreme-grade Spirit artifacts.
Bai Di was fuming when he saw that Yue Yunde still possessed so many treasures.
"Fatso! You are a real scoundrel. You still have so many treasures hidden on you! How dare you cheat me. I will bite you to death!"
A golden light dazzled as Bai Di increased his speed. He bit Yue Yunde on the buttocks!
Yue Yunde jumped up. "Damn you! Are you a tortoise or a dog? How dare you bite me?"
Yue Yunde's butt glowed with light and magic. There was clearly some artifact protecting his bum, and he was not hurt at all. This also proved that Yue Yunde was not that simple!
It should be pointed out that Bai Di was a Void Lightning Tortoise. He was once an elite practitioner.
Although his power had reverted to the Mighty Prowess realm after being reborn, he was not your usual Demon Venerable.
Even so, Bai Di did not have that much of an upper hand over Yue Yunde. This proved that Yue Yunde could be considered one of the top Demon Venerables.
However, although Yue Yunde's physical body was fine, his clothes failed to withstand Bai Di's teeth.
Rip!
A huge hole appeared in Yue Yunde's robe, revealing his bright red underwear.
With his butt wiggling left and right, it was a downright "sexy" sight!
The Divine Firmament disciples in the crowd couldn't help sniggering at the sight of those bright red underpants.
Of course, they only dared to snigger in secret.
Yue Yunde was still their ex-ex-ex-ex-ex Divine Firmament Saint. They had to give him some respect.
The fat Taoist priest's face darkened. The corners of his mouth twitched wildly. "Damn you! You have utterly embarrassed me! How can I face those Divine Firmament disciples again?"
My status in society will be destroyed!
Yue Yunde felt that his societal status was really at the brink of death.
Nonetheless, Bai Di did not let up. He activated his Electric Shadow Footwork and charged toward Yue Yunde.
Yue Yunde got enraged. "Old tortoise, I will smash your head if you bite me again!
"Arh!
"No, no!
"Softer, softer. You cannot bite that particular area!
"Ah!"
Yue Yunde's robe was in tatters, and his body was covered in bite marks. He looked very pathetic!
Rumble!
The fabrics of space twisted, and a dazzling light erupted!
A tunnel appeared in the void, and several figures emerged.
It was the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Shen Tian, and the rest.
After the gang's cultivation levels rose, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader created a void tunnel and led the group back.
Of course, Princess Linglong insisted on following along.
Her line of thought was simple: "I will go wherever Brother Shen goes!"
Zhang Yunxi was naturally strongly opposed to it.
The two of them were evenly matched, and neither would give way. Nothing came out of their earlier battle.
On the way, the girls bickered but did not really come to physical blows again.
After everyone appeared, the faces of the Divine Firmament disciples were filled with joy and adoration. Some of them even had tears in their eyes.
"The Sacred Leader and the rest are back!"
"And Senior Brother Saint too!!"
"Senior Brother Saint has returned safely. It is indeed a cause for celebration!"
"After over a month, Senior Brother Saint managed to return safely. The heavens must be protecting him!"
"According to Uncle Gui, it is Concubine Lan who is protecting him."
In an instant, the entire Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was in an uproar.
By the time Shen Tian and his group all emerged, they were totally dumbstruck by the sight before them.
Bai Di was still chasing after Yue Yunde and biting him. Yue Yunde was fiercely counterattacking by using his lightning power to form a golden divine dog, which pounced back at Bai Di.
Thereafter, Bai Di executed his Tortoise Fist and smashed that golden dog!
The force of that fist was beyond powerful!
Bai Di slowly withdrew his fist and smirked. "That's all? Little fatso, your lightning skills are too lousy!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. He could no longer bear to watch this anymore.
He flung the sleeves of his robes and separated the two.
The man and tortoise instantly stopped their ruckus the moment they saw that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had made his move.
No choice. If they continued making trouble and had to be subdued, neither of them would benefit.
They would be utterly dismayed then.
Yue Yunde was delighted at the sight of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. He rushed over.
His expression changed as he whined. "Master, you must speak up for me. That stupid white tortoise has no morals. He is bullying me even though he is older than me. I am just a young man of a few hundred years in age, but he attacked me on the sly!"
Yue Yunde whimpered and sniffled, looking very pitiful.
The corners of Bai Di's mouth twitched. "Fatso, you are talking nonsense. How dare you besmear my name?
"Take another of my Tortoise Fist!"
Bai Di reached out his fists as he conjured a massive fist image, all ready to strike Yue Yunde.
Yue Yunde shrank back and quickly ducked behind the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. "Senior Bai Di, please let this matter be on my account."
In the blink of an eye, the massive fist image disappeared.
Bai Di drew back his hand. "Since this kid has spoken up for you, I will spare your life then, you fatso!"
Unexpectedly, Bai Di was shuddering inwardly. He had lived a long life, but after being reborn, his powers were only at the Mighty Prowess realm.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was a Sage who had undergone tribulation. His cultivation level was deep beyond fathom. If he behaved recklessly in front of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, he would probably suffer a major thrashing.
Bai Di was very self-aware when it came to this!
"Thank you, Master!"
Yue Yunde shamelessly thanked him.
However, his eyes suddenly filled with shock. He couldn't help exclaiming.
"H-how is this possible? How did your cultivation levels increase by so much in just half a day?"
Yue Yunde was stunned. He knew that Zhang Yunxi and the rest were previously Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
They all reached Peak-Stage Nascent Soul after a single trip?
Am I seeing things?
"Heavens, did you all get a shot of magic adrenaline? How did your cultivation levels increase so quickly?"
What kind of adrenaline is that potent? I will be able to beat up that stupid white tortoise if I can get a shot too, right?
I want it so badly!
Feeling rather resigned, Fang Chang explained, "First Senior Brother, we didn't take any adrenaline shots. This is all thanks to the Saint's Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill."
"Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill? What's that?"
Yue Yunde felt rather doubtful.
Even if Shen Tian was the great Son of Providence, he couldn't possibly be that lucky!
What kind of pill is able to help so many people's cultivation level increase by so much? I can feel that even Master and Martial Uncle's aura seem to have grown stronger?
Yue Yunde was still doubtful when Bai Di stepped forward. He morphed into a streak of golden light and appeared right in front of Shen Tian. "Good kid. It's been a few days since I last saw you, and your cultivation level has increased by quite a bit!
"The moment I saw you, I could tell that you were a very successful man in cultivation and had a bright future ahead!
"Can you give me a few of those Chaotic-something-something pills to try? Maybe if I am in a good mood, I will give you some peerless great divine technique!"
Bai Di felt very envious of everyone's increase in cultivation level. Thus, he shamelessly tried to praise and entice Shen Tian into giving him some of those pills.
Shen Tian, "???"
Why does this feel like deja vu?
At the side, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus quietly turned his face away.
Yue Yunde snapped out of his trance and called out, "You old tortoise, you attacked me when I was not ready!"
With that, Yue Yunde also stepped forth and clung to Shen Tian. "Junior Brother! I am so pitiful. That old tortoise has been bullying me the entire time.
"Junior Brother, can you give me some of those pills too? When my power increases, I will teach that old tortoise a good lesson!"
Bai Di, "..."
"Stupid fatso, how dare you try to compete with me for the pills? Take my Tortoise Fist!"
Yue Yunde leaped up into the air and hollered, "Old tortoise, stop your stupid act. I will smash you after I take the pill!"
Now that my Junior Brother Shen Tian has returned, I have someone to back me up. I will make soup out of you later!
Of course, I have to get that pill first!
Yue Yunde turned back to Shen Tian, all prepared to grovel for that pill.
Bai Di had the same idea. Man and tortoise clung onto Shen Tian, one on either side of him.
The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. He felt an urge to kick these two fellows and send them flying off into the air.
Luckily, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus intervened. They picked up Yue Yunde and Bai Di by the scruff of their necks and dragged them away.
"You two are an embarrassment to us!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus couldn't help shaking his head. He seemed to have forgotten how the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had to drag him away in the same manner earlier.
Bai Di and Yue Yunde struggled wildly as they were being dragged away.
They continued hollering, "We just want to have a taste. Just a taste!"
Fang Chang muttered to himself, "Why do those words sound so familiar?"
Shen Tian, "..."
The crowd, "..."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' face darkened even further!
Rumble!
A loud rumble thundered through the region as a powerful aura filled the space!
Countless light rays as dazzling as the sun engulfed the entire sacred ground!
A massive shimmering figure descended, its aura heavy and intense, like a ferocious tiger stalking down the mountain.
Boom!
Dust and dirt flew.
The crowd turned to see a massive white tiger appear on the sacred ground. It was at least 1,000 feet in size and dazzled as if it had been drenched in liquid gold.
However, the main thing was the aura this white tiger exuded. It was as powerful as a Heavenly Venerable!
"What is that?"
Fang Chang and the rest immediately went on high alert!
If this was not the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, they might have thought that they were being invaded by one of the Southern Border demon races.
On the other side, Shen Tian just gazed at the white tiger, and the corners of his lips twitched. "A shape-changing giant robot can also pass through?"
Yes, this was no white tiger!
It was a robot forged using Spirit Gold, or perhaps you could call it a "Gundam"!
At that point, a figure suddenly appeared on the head of the white tiger robot. "Senior Brother Saint, come and see the results of my latest research."
The person had blonde hair and narrow eyes, with refined, handsome features. It was Qin Yundi!
Qin Yundi was a true disciple of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, but he didn't focus on cultivation. Instead, he concentrated on researching all sorts of weird inventions.
Under Shen Tian's guidance, he had developed the Yin Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman, the Lotus Shooting Gun, and the Yin Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun.
It had been a while since Shen Tian had last seen Qin Yundi. He had actually managed to invent a shape-changing giant robot!
Qin Yundi jumped down from the white metal tiger and looked at Shen Tian with shining eyes.
"Senior Brother Saint, I have successfully practiced the Thousand Weapons Puppet Arts to an extremely high level.
"I have created this puppet, the Lightning White Tiger!
"It is forged from Spirit Gold and can store Mixed Divine Lightning. When I activate this puppet, it can display the powers of a Heavenly Venerable!
"In addition, this puppet is very easy to operate. Even a Golden Core cultivator can easily control it!"
Qin Yundi was full of excitement as he introduced the results of his research.
Everyone was shocked by his words.
They couldn't imagine that this fearsome-looking white tiger was just a puppet.
More importantly, it was a puppet with the powers of a Heavenly Venerable?
And even a Golden Core cultivator could easily control it?
Didn't this mean that a Golden Core cultivator could make use of this puppet to defeat a Heavenly Venerable?
Oh my god!
This can allow a Golden Core cultivator to exhibit the battle prowess of a Heavenly Venerable?
Too fierce!
Although this puppet only had the battle prowess of a Heavenly Venerable and could never be a threat to a Sage, it could be mass-produced!
If they could create more of these puppets, wouldn't the battle prowess of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's upper management be greatly enhanced?
It should be pointed out that a Heavenly Venerable practitioner was not just some common weed that could be found anywhere.
Even within the sacred ground, most of the Heavenly Venerables were elders and held very high status.
Thanks to this puppet's power, a Golden Core disciple could raise their level to a Heavenly Venerable's. It was obvious just how awesome this thing was!
It didn't matter that this puppet was only able to hold itself against a Heavenly Venerable and may not be able to secure a guaranteed win.
It didn't matter that forging this kind of puppet required large amounts of Spirit Gold and lightning energy. It would still be worth it.
After all, a Heavenly Venerable was already considered an elite-level power in the sacred ground.
Qin Yundi looked very eager. "Senior Brother Saint, what do you think of this puppet?"
Shen Tian was astounded after listening to Qin Yundi's animated explanation.
A-awesome Brother!
You are able to create a Heavenly Venerable Gundam so quickly!
If I give you a little more time, you will probably be able to come up with a spaceship?
By then, we can just fly straight to the Celestial World. No need for tribulations then!
Ahem, of course, that was not possible.
The Celestial World was enclosed in a protective array. It was not even part of this world. Even if there was a spaceship, it could not penetrate the protective array and enter the Celestial World.
Also, entering the Celestial World with powers of this mediocre level? That would be suicide.
Even for Shen Tian, who had seen it all, he couldn't help praising, "Not bad!"
He felt rather pleased with the sight of a mecha in this world.
After all, men loved mecha!
"But I feel that calling this thing a puppet doesn't do it justice. I wonder if Senior Brother has any suggestions?"
Qin Yundi had mulled over this for many days but couldn't come up with a good name.
The Thousand Weapons Puppet Arts described the method to create a puppet.
When Qin Yundi was creating this white tiger puppet, he also added in his knowledge of explosives and lightning transformation, which Shen Tian had passed on to him.
Strictly speaking, this lightning white tiger was not 100% a puppet. It belonged to a brand new genre. As a result, Qin Yundi wanted to ask Shen Tian if he had a better suggestion.
Shen Tian replied calmly, "Let's call it a mecha then!"
Qin Yundi immediately fell into deep thought. He muttered to himself, "Mecha... Mecha!
"What a formidable name. This white tiger puppet was forged from Spirit Gold. It possesses high mobility and is strong as can be. It has a very powerful defense!
"Mecha is the best name for it!
"Alright, this white tiger puppet will be called Metal-Elemental White Tiger Mecha from now on!"
Qin Yundi beamed. Actually, he didn't care what it was called. The main thing was that Shen Tian had named it. Any name chosen by Senior Brother would be the most perfect!
Shen Tian gazed at Qin Yundi, the corners of his mouth twitching.
Whatever you say!
You are the one who created this!
It's just a simple matter of naming it, right?
Why are you so excited that your whole face has turned red?
A grown man shouldn't behave so emotionally even when playing with a shape-changing giant robot, right?
When looking at the exhilarated blond-haired, narrow-eyed youth, a notion popped into Shen Tian's head.
Are all narrow-eyed people monsters? Will this fellow end up like Orochimaru, performing weird experiments!?
Tssss!
I don't think so. After all, Orochimaru focused on biological experiments, while Junior Brother Qin focuses on lightning mecha.
I am worrying too much.

Chapter 410: Sky-Mending Pill Should Be Able To Cure Hair Loss
At the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, a hubbub of excited chatter echoed!
The Metal-Elemental White Tiger Mecha stood there proudly, surrounded by a dazzling light and fearsome aura. It was the center of all attention.
The Divine Firmament elders couldn't resist going forward to check it out and marvel at it.
"This mecha is so extraordinary. It's forged using Spirit Gold and Mixed Divine Lightning. And it can display Heavenly Venerable-level battle prowess."
"The key to this is the exquisite array formation. It can perfectly circulate the Mixed Divine Lightning to every single part!"
"It can be touted as a heavenly work of art. Heavenly work of art!"
Many elders praised Qin Yundi's ingenuity. He had managed to create such a formidable puppet.
"But this mecha's attacks are rather limited. If its store of Mixed Divine Lightning energy is expended, it will not be able to battle anymore."
Some sharp-eyed elder discovered this mecha's flaw!
This mecha might have a Heavenly Venerable's battle prowess, but there was also a vast difference.
The mecha was crafted from Spirit Gold and powered by Mixed Divine Lightning energy.
A cultivator could not keep replenishing the energy source of the mecha indefinitely.
The moment the mecha expended all its energy source, it was as good as a piece of scrap metal.
Qin Yundi gave a faint smile before explaining, "This is indeed an issue with the mecha, but I have already forged the Green Dragon, Crimson Phoenix, Black Tortoise, Mighty Qilin, and the rest of the other nine beasts. This is to complement the 10 lightning divine beasts of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground."
"The energy sources required by the 10 types of mecha are attuned to the different lightning energies cultivated by the disciples.
"In this case, several disciples belonging to the same energy type can activate a mecha together and provide it energy. Together, they should be able to last through an entire battle."
Qin Yundi had already considered this problem. It should be pointed out that the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra covered the different types of lightning energy.
Wood Element Green Dragon lightning energy, Metal Element White Tiger lightning energy, etc...
As a result, many Divine Firmament disciples practiced different types of lightning energy. Only those with compatible lightning energy as the mecha would be able to operate it.
To resolve this issue, Qin Yundi had specially enlarged the control space of the mechas to accommodate multiple disciples.
"But after the mecha's power reaches the Heavenly Venerable stage, it is very difficult to raise it further. I wonder if Senior Brother has any solution?"
Qin Yundi looked at Shen Tian, his eyes full of anticipation.
In his opinion, there was nothing Shen Tian could not do. Whatever he couldn't resolve, Shen Tian would definitely have some idea how to. After all, it was Shen Tian who had taught him about the Yin Yang Dao. He was his mentor.
Qin Yundi was full of confidence and respect for Shen Tian.
Shen Tian replied in a low voice, "This problem is not impossible to resolve.
"Mechas should never go into battle alone. They should even be able to merge with each other.
"For example, 10 Metal-Elemental White Tiger Mechas can be linked to form a White Tiger Mecha Military Array Formation.
"In this way, we should be able to save on quite a bit of resources. The power of the attacks would also be increased.
"The power of 10 mechas together would be far stronger than just one!
"If we have enough mechas, we can even gather mechas from all five elements to form an even more powerful military troop.
"The different types of mechas can coordinate with each other to execute the combined energy of the five elements. They would be indomitable.
"With the combined energy of numerous mechas, it might even reach an adequate level to kill a Sage!"
Shen Tian gave a simple description of his idea, which he had garnered from all those space and mecha movies he had watched in his previous life.
He was just throwing out this idea casually, but everyone got very excited, especially Qin Yundi. His eyes sparkled as he grew increasingly exuberant.
Shen Tian's words were like a spark that ignited his imagination and made his blood surge wildly. "Senior Brother Saint is correct! Thank you, Senior Brother Saint, for your advice. I will go back to my laboratory immediately!"
Qin Yundi's face was full of excitement. For someone who loved research passionately, receiving this new direction in his work was like finding a peerless imperial sutra.
If not for Shen Tian, he might have really just turned and rushed back to his laboratory, shutting himself inside to continue his research.
To a recluse like him, research was far more important than socializing.
Shen Tian shook his head with a smile as he looked at Qin Yundi's wildly excited face.
He held Qin Yundi back as he said in exasperation, "You are working too hard on this. Your scalp is already showing through at the top of your head.
"If you don't take care of yourself and just keep working on your research, you might lose all your hair and turn into a monk!
"In another few days' time, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground might come looking for you to join them!"
Qin Yundi was startled. He ran his fingers through his hair and realized that his golden hair was indeed rather messy.
Now that he thought of it, it was true that he seemed to be losing hair recently.
Shen Tian took out a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill and put it in Qin Yundi's hand. "Eat this pill. It can enhance your intellect and brainpower, as well as your cultivation level and innate potential.
"Also, it can probably trigger hair growth!
"Be careful when cultivating. Your body and health are everything."
Qin Yundi was stunned by the sight of that pill. He could sense that this pill was something very valuable. Just its fragrance alone was enough to stir his heart and soothe his body. Even his mood felt more uplifted now.
This was definitely some peerless divine pill!
With this divine pill, he would be able to refine his physical body to its best possible condition. From there, he might be able to develop a new and upgraded mecha!
Qin Yundi was filled with excitement and gratitude.
Senior Brother Saint is so good to me!
Not only did he give me advice, but he even gave me a divine pill to help in my cultivation.
I must repay his kindness to me by bringing his "Art is all about explosion" philosophy to great heights!
Qin Yundi's eyes filled with hot tears. "I will carefully study and research more based on Senior Brother Saint's guidance. I will not let you down!"
With the Chaotic Sky-Mending pill in hand, Qin Yundi returned to Golden Lotus Mountain with renewed determination to continue his mecha research.
The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. He felt like this kid had kind of twisted the meaning of his words.
People who were wildly passionate about science were indeed not normal.
Never mind, let him be!
Qin Yundi's faith in research was far beyond that for cultivation.
Only someone who had absolute faith in what he did would he be able to progress far.
The path of cultivation was the same.
One would never be able to progress without courage and determination.
At that moment, two bright beams of light shot over.
Shen Tian turned to see Bai Di and Yue Yunde staring at him with wide, bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that they had seen Shen Tian give Qin Yundi a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. They were jealous!
A golden glow lit up beneath Bai Di's feet as he instantly appeared before Shen Tian. "Kid, you have something so wonderful. Don't leave me out!
"Remember that I imparted the Electric Shadow Footwork technique to you!
"That is my peerless divine technique. Even that Golden Light kid had to beg me for a long time before I agreed to teach him! But I imparted it to you without any conditions. This shows how good I am to you!"
The air was filled with the sour taste of jealousy.
Yes, Bai Di was jealous!
The moment the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill had appeared, he knew that it was no ordinary pill.
This pill could greatly increase his cultivation level, and he might even be able to get a new Dao Fruit.
This pill was a destiny-changing, elite-level, peerless elixir!
Bai Di must get this pill, no matter what!
Even at the cost of his own dignity!
Bai Di was not alone. Yue Yunde was the same.
He whimpered and sniffled. "Junior Brother, I am your First Senior Brother!
"A First Senior Brother who shares the same Master as you!
"Junior Brother, you cannot leave me out when you have something so good!"
Yue Yunde felt very jealous. All the other Divine Firmament true disciples had gotten a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. He was the only one who hadn't. How could he not feel jealous?
As a result, Yue Yunde also cast aside his dignity and begged for the pill!
Shen Tian, "..."
The crowd, "..."
By the side, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus couldn't help rubbing his own forehead.
I have met my match.
These two fellows are so shameless. There are so many Divine Firmament disciples and elders watching them, but they don't care at all. They continue to do whatever they want!
They are so thick-skinned, as thick as a bull from the Primordial Age. Even a Sage artifact cannot pierce through that kind of skin.
I can't bear to watch anymore!
Wait a minute...
Why do I feel like my Martial Nephew doesn't seem to care about these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills?
He was willing to give one to Qin Yundi just because that kid is losing his hair.
He might give me another two pills if I ask him for it!
This Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill is so miraculous. If I can just eat a few more, I might even be able to immediately transcend and become an immortal?
Just the thought of this makes me high!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was very tempted. He decided to try and get some more of those pills from Shen Tian!
Meanwhile, Shen Tian had just handed the last two pills to Bai Di and Yue Yunde.
The main reason was that these two were just too thick-skinned, and it was too difficult to reject them!
I need to concentrate on my cultivation and development! I don't have time to waste on them!
Moreover, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills were priceless toward the others. Its value was high beyond any estimation.
Nevertheless, Shen Tian could refine more of these pills anytime, as long as he had the necessary ingredients. He could easily refine another batch in another few days' time.
With this line of thinking, Shen Tian gave out the pills to get rid of those fellows.
As expected, foolish smiles spread across the faces of Bai Di and Yue Yunde the moment they got those pills.
They thanked Shen Tian and rushed off to cultivate.
One could not waste any time with such exquisite pills!
A certain old Taoist priest might even try to snatch it away from them, so it was better to swallow it first!
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief. Those two troublesome fellows had finally left, and he could have some peace.
At that moment, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus came forward, smiling and rubbing his hands. "My good Martial Nephew, since you have so many of these pills, why don't you give me another?
"I swallowed the first one too fast and didn't get to appreciate its taste. Give me a few more to let me savor it."
Shen Tian replied in exasperation, "Martial Uncle, these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills can only be consumed once. Subsequent dosages will not be that effective. Anyway, I do not have any more Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills left."
Shen Tian showed him the empty bottle. He didn't expect that right after getting rid of those two troublesome fellows, an even more troublesome fellow would come knocking on his door.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' skin was even thicker than those two!
Sigh, it's really hard to be me~
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' face turned red, and he laughed. "Of course I know that! I am just joking with you!"
The rest of the group all held their foreheads in exasperation. Martial Uncle Azure Lotus was just chiding those two fellows earlier, but he was now behaving the same way.
He was a disgrace to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!
Shen Tian smiled. "If Martial Uncle can provide me enough Sage herbs, I can still refine more Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills."
Although Shen Tian had already given away all the pills, as long as he had enough of the necessary ingredients, he could refine another batch anytime he wanted!
After learning the Lotus Thearch's pill-refining techniques, cultivating more Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills was nothing to Shen Tian. He did not need to spend too much time!
However, Shen Tian had refined Thearch-level Sky-Mending Pills earlier, and their effects were heaven-defying.
If he refined a Sage-level pill, it would also be able to improve one's foundation and ability to decipher things.
Naturally, its effects would be far inferior when compared to a Thearch-level Sky-Mending Pill. After all, the difference between a Sage-level pill and a Thearch-level one was as wide as the gap between heaven and earth!
"Really?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' eyes lit up.
From what Shen Tian said, this meant that he would be able to eat more pills?
One pill was good, but an endless supply of pills was even better!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus did not say it out loud, but the way his eyes lit up already showed just how delighted he was.
Shen Tian nodded. "Of course. But I need numerous Sage herbs to refine the Sky-Mending Pills!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus smacked his own chest confidently. "Martial Nephew, don't worry. I will go... find the other elders and make them bring out their Sage herbs! I think that the elders will not object to doing their part to help our sect!"
The elders in the crowd, "..."
They thought Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus would take out his own Sage herbs to refine the Sky-Mending Pills, but he wanted to raid their stores instead—shameless!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus did not care. He was going to use the good of the sect as an excuse. Even if those elders refused to hand over the herbs, he could force them with that excuse!
Haha, I am smart!
But it was true that the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills had allowed the Divine Firmament true disciples to undergo major transformations!
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, Zhao Hao, Qin Yundi, and Eunuch Gui—their abilities surged after consuming those pills!
Whether it was their constitution or innate potential, they were all nearly up to Qi Shaoxuan's level now!
It should be pointed out that Qi Shaoxuan was ranked number one on the Golden Core List. He was touted as the ultimate prodigy with the potential to become a great Thearch!
He was at the supreme Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage and successfully formed a complete Nascent Soul!
Of course, he was still far inferior if one compared him to that freak Shen Tian, but he was basically considered number two in this world!
Even Zhao Hao and Eunuch Gui, who had the lowest cultivation level in the group, successfully attained the Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage after consuming a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
Not to mention the top three prodigies in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Their current talents and battle prowess might be even more powerful than Qi Shaoxuan's now.
It was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's golden era!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was now filled to the brim with talented prodigies.
The number of people here who now had the potential to be a great Thearch was already more than one could count on one hand!
On top of that, the old-timers also benefited from the pills and had their powers greatly enhanced.
This was a significant increase in the overall power of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. It had now far surpassed other sacred grounds of the same level!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. He was thinking contentedly, Tian'er is indeed the Son of Providence!
Because of Tian'er, the power of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has increased by more than 10 times!
With Tian'er around, our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is destined to rise again!
Hehehehehe!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader stepped forward, his heavenly aura vibrating strongly. "Tian'er, are you interested in taking over the Sacred Leader position?"
Shen Tian was stunned.
He was not the only one. All the Divine Firmament disciples and elders were dumbstruck.
Silence descended over the entire sacred ground.
They never expected the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader to raise such a proposition!
He wanted to hand over the Sacred Leader position to a Saint who had yet to undergo the Saint Inauguration Ceremony?
This was too shocking!
It should be pointed out that not just anyone could take on the role of the Sacred Leader.
Not only would he have to be an exceptionally talented Saint, but he had to possess powerful abilities and high prestige. Only then would he be able to dominate the rest!
In general, recently-appointed Sacred Leaders were all new Sages. Only then would they have the right to take over.
And those new Sages were all the top of the top within their own sacred grounds!
Over the past 10,000 years, no sacred ground had ever allowed a cultivator who was below the Tribulation Transcendence stage to assume the position of a Sacred Leader.
A cultivator who was not yet a Sage had no right to become a Sacred Leader!
Someone who did not possess the powers of a Sage but wanted the status of one?
Most people would not be able to withstand the immense pressure that came with that!
It was very likely that many others would refuse to accept it, and the sacred ground would fall into chaos!
Given Shen Tian's current power and prestige, even though his cultivation level was not there yet, he did have what it took to become a Sacred Leader.
But still, it was premature to do this now!
Carrying out the Sacred Leader Inauguration Ceremony before they even conducted the Saint Inauguration Ceremony?
Yeap, way too premature!
Everyone was completely stunned, but the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's reasoning was very simple.
My disciple Shen Tian has the potential to be an Immortal King, and he is the once-in-a-lifetime Son of Providence. His providence is unmatched!
Given Tian'er's providence, if he becomes the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, the speed of our sacred ground's rise will definitely be increased by 10 times.
No, 100 times!!
With the future of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground on the line, the question of who is the Sacred Leader does not matter!
Shen Tian was bewildered. "Master, I don't have much experience. I am afraid I cannot assume the role of the Sacred Leader. I'm also still too weak. I need more training!"
By the side, the corners of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' mouth twitched. He muttered to himself, "You're weak? With your freakish abilities, even a low-level Sage might not be your match!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had witnessed Shen Tian's battle prowess. He knew just how terrifying it was.
When Shen Tian was a Golden Core cultivator, he was already able to defeat a Heavenly Venerable. And now, he was already at the Nascent Soul stage!
If he went all out, he could probably defeat a new Sage!
Shen Tian had a very simple line of reasoning.
No way I am going to become the Sacred Leader!
There must be a ton of troublesome matters to settle if I become the Sacred Leader.
When will I ever get the time to go out and explore?
When will I ever get the time to make friends with other prodigies and leverage off their providence?
And according to the Golden Crow Thearch, the arrival of the golden era always means that chaos will soon descend.
So many rare prodigies have emerged over the past thousand years, and all the various powers are predicting that something major is already brewing.
I don't wish to become too prominent. I will be in trouble if I get targeted!
I have always been a supporter of peace and respect. Don't be impulsive, hold steady.
Concentrate on improving one's abilities. This is the best and only way.
Fame? Authority? They are just fleeting clouds to me.
After all, even being the Emperor of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty will mean nothing if I am dead!
Yeap, I have decided!
I will never take on the Sacred Leader position before becoming a Thearch!
