Many guests had arrived at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

There was still half a month before the Saint Inauguration Ceremony.

Many sacred grounds' representatives were unable to wait any longer and hurried to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

The current Divine Firmament Saint had obtained countless fortuitous opportunities in one year since he had entered the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Firstly, he had found the forbidden chapter of the Divine Firmament's Lightning Imperial Sutra that had been lost for 10,000 years, giving the sacred ground hope for it to return to its peak.

Afterward, he had headed to the Primordial Battlefield, where he destroyed the plan of the Evil Spirit Sect and even found a supreme godly artifact for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground—the God of War Pagoda.

Subsequently, in the battle to wipe out the Evil Spirit Sect in Immeasurable Ancient State, the Divine Firmament Saint had even purged countless souls by himself.

That was something even Sages would find difficult to accomplish!

According to the rumors, Shen Tian was even the only Seven-Star Prodigy in the five regions evaluated by the God of War Pagoda.

He had numerous extraordinary items within him, and he was even more talented than Huang Shi!

These incidents had already spread through all the major sacred grounds in the five regions.

That also made Shen Tian the first Divine Firmament Saint renowned in the five regions before he was even inaugurated.

Countless people came because they admired his fame and wanted to see the Divine Firmament Saint beforehand.

Unfortunately, although they had arrived earlier, they had not even seen a glance of Shen Tian. That was because Shen Tian was currently cultivating in seclusion at Saint Mountain.

After Shen Tian's refusal to become the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not force him.

On the other hand, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader felt that Shen Tian had a mature and level-headed mindset as he did not covet fame or fortune.

Destruction pursued the great!

If one was too outstanding, it would instead attract the attention of enemy forces.

The number of prodigies that had died due to such a reason was not in the few. Thus, it was better to keep a low profile and increase one's strength first.

Shen Tian was well aware of such a logic, so he had immediately entered seclusion once he returned to Saint Mountain.

On Saint Mountain, within the Saint Temple...

Shen Tian sat cross-legged, and two mottled reddish-gold ancient pages were floating within his hands.

Those were the second section of the Blood God Sutra which recorded the True Spirit Rebirth Technique and True Spirit Rotation Technique.

The Golden Crow Thearch had relied on this second section of the Blood God Sutra to allow his remnant consciousness to escape from the Celestial World and return to the five regions.

Although that peerless Evil Spirit had interfered, this ancient sutra's strength was not to be questioned.

One had to know that the gap between celestial and mortal could not be easily filled.

There was a Heavenly Dao barrier between the Celestial World and mortal world, which almost no one could pass through at will!

It was extremely difficult for any mortal living beings to want to enter the Celestial World.

Only after transcending 12 or more Heavenly Tribulations could one try to ascend.

Meanwhile, cultivators of the Celestial World would not be able to enter the mortal world, or else the Heavenly Dao would annihilate them.

That was the barrier which the Heavenly Dao had set up to protect the mortal world.

Otherwise, if the Celestial World's cultivators descended upon the mortal world and slaughtered people, no one in the five regions would be able to stop them. This would definitely result in misery and suffering.

The Golden Crow Thearch had relied on the two pages of the second section of the Blood God Sutra to forcibly deceive the Heavenly Dao and allow his remnant consciousness to return. This alone proved how powerful the Blood God Sutra was.

Shen Tian had originally cultivated the first section of the Blood God Sutra, so he could naturally sense just how powerful the Blood God Sutra's survival ability was!

If he could finish cultivating the second section and merge the two, his survival chances would increase greatly by 10 times!

No, it would increase exponentially by 100 times!

How could Shen Tian not learn such a supreme sutra which could save his life?

After experiencing that disaster on Immortal Abode Island, Shen Tian had realized that this world was not as safe as it seemed.

The Evil Spirit Sect was still causing trouble and chaos to the five regions in the mortal world.

The outerworld's Evil Spirits were trying to invade it incessantly to create a passageway to the Celestial World!

Even the Golden Crow Thearch had said straightforwardly that there was going to be a drastic change in the Celestial World!

Even a Thearch like him, who had ascended 80,000 years ago, could not survive and was killed by powerful Evil Spirits.

An Evil Spirit had even stolen his body after he died, and the calamity of 10,000 years ago had nearly replayed itself.

If the guardians in the Celestial World could not stop those Evil Spirits anymore and allowed them to wantonly invade, by then, the dangers that the five regions would face would be much more fearsome than that formidable battle 10,000 years ago!

Shen Tian felt anxious once he thought of the countless dangers hidden in this world.

If he did not increase his strength quickly, how could he survive in such a chaotic world?

Only by becoming powerful could he bulldoze anything in his way and survive in this chaotic world.

That was something Shen Tian believed without a shadow of a doubt.

He was going to cultivate the second section of the Blood God Sutra in this seclusion.

As long as he successfully cultivated it, then Shen Tian could use his Blood God's Son and True Spirit Rotation Technique to revive infinitely!

So what if the five regions would be in chaos?

Even if they killed one Shen Tian, there would be countless of Shen Tian's clones.

As long as he had enough clones, he was not afraid of death at all!

Afterward, Shen Tian thought of something else—he did not have any Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills anymore.

Frankly speaking, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was really something good to do others a favor!

Although the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill could only be consumed once and it was useless to Shen Tian, he could still make others owe him a favor even if he did not consume the pill himself!

Anyway, he still had a huge pile of herbs in his interspatial ring that he could not finish no matter how much he ate. As such, he could use them to make the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

It was definitely the best bait to tempt Children of Providence.

After all, if he ran into unfamiliar prodigies and directly said, "I see that you're fated with me, how about we go obtain a fortuitous opportunity together?", that would be too awkward and overly abrupt!

They might just turn and leave. Wouldn't Shen Tian have missed a good sheep that he could fleece?

However, the situation would be completely different with the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

Without any words, he could first give a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

Who could refuse a pill that could improve their talent?

Since gifts were never too many, who would not like a free gift?

Not to mention that gift was a supreme pill like the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, which could strengthen one's body and increase one's talent?

Even a Sage would not be able to refuse a pill that had such effects, not to mention those young prodigies!

By then, it would be simple for Shen Tian to freeload off them!

At that thought, Shen Tian felt energized.

Seeing that the Saint Inauguration Ceremony was about to begin, and more and more sheep... Children of Providence arrived at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Shen Tian decided he would not let go of such a good opportunity.

He had to find a chance to make some Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.

He could freeload off their fortuitous opportunities as much as he liked with these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills!

Shen Tian started his long and fruitful period of seclusion without any hesitation.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

There was only one day before the Saint Inauguration Ceremony.

The whole Divine Firmament Small World was filled with people, and even the elders came out to welcome the visitors.

This was a rarely seen big scene as there were even more guests than the previous Sacred Leader Inauguration Ceremonies.

They had all come for Shen Tian!

Shen Tian's fame had already spread far and wide!

He was hailed as a considerate and warm-hearted Saint that was so handsome he was like a heavenly immortal, as the strongest prodigy of Eastern Wilderness, an unprecedented Son of Providence, and so on.

That made numerous sacred grounds flock in to take a look at the Divine Firmament Saint.

However, more importantly, it was the influence of the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb.

Only Shen Tian, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had seen the Golden Crow Thearch in the last moment.

Therefore, many people doubted the fact whether amongst all the cultivators who had tried deciphering the tablet, only Shen Tian had truly comprehended the tablet to the perfected stage and even caused the illusion of 10 suns in a row.

They believed that Shen Tian had obtained the Golden Crow Thearch's legacy, and he seemed to have obtained the Divine Sun Cauldron.

There were many rumors saying that the number of Thearch artifacts that Shen Tian possessed was even in the dozens—he was rich!

Therefore, those mighty beings in the five regions wanted to check if those rumors were true!

All those rumors had also entered the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus' ears.

Azure Lotus raised his brows and said, "Junior Brother, our Martial Nephew is quite famous! His fame might even surpass the two of us!"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus were both the top prodigies from 1,000 years ago. It could even be said that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had basically depended on the two of them in the past 1,000 years.

Therefore, their fame and notoriety were already well-known in the five regions.

However, the fame of the Divine Firmament Saint could currently be compared to theirs.

In a certain aspect, Shen Tian would surpass them. That was... dozens of Thearch artifacts!

At that thought, Azure Lotus' eyes turned cold, and he revealed his killing intent. It was a rarely seen scene.

How could he not know that someone was adding fuel to the flames of the rumors, pushing Shen Tian to the heart of the struggles.

Obviously, the mastermind wanted the other sacred grounds' prodigies and elders to target the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Be it the Golden Crow Thearch's legacy or the Divine Sun Cauldron, they were both extremely precious treasures that were enough to make others turn green with envy!

In the cultivation world, which prioritized self-interest, this was a blatant scheme!

The heavenly aura surrounding the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader surged, but he spoke calmly. "Tian'er is an unprecedented Son of Providence, so he won't be targeted by such trifling schemes!

"Of course, we still need to do what we should. Senior Brother, don't let your guard down."

Azure Lotus instantly understood what the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader meant—it was obviously a good opportunity to score more brownie points with Shen Tian.

Azure Lotus grinned. "Junior Brother, great minds think alike!"

Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader, "..."

Shortly after, the five regions' mighty beings hurried to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Those powerful cultivators rode divine rainbows and arrived at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, appearing before the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus.

The Sacred Leaders from the Da Li Sacred Ground, Purple Mansion Sacred Ground, Big Dipper Sacred Ground... Sages from the various sacred grounds appeared.

Most of those Sacred Leaders were all old acquaintances of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus.

Besides them, the Saints of the numerous sacred grounds also arrived one after the other.

The Void Saint Wang Shenxu, Purple Mansion Saint Qi Shaoxuan, Big Dipper Saint Chen Zhongtian, and Sonic Thunder Bodhisattva Kuduo...

Shen Tian's old friends had all come.

"Congratulations, Brother Longyuan. The Divine Firmament Saint is indeed a talented genius. His fame has already spread throughout the five regions, even before holding the Saint Inauguration Ceremony. I'm afraid that there's no one who doesn't know the Divine Firmament Saint's name," congratulated the Da Li Sacred Leader.

Due to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's help, the vengeful spirit's attack could be stopped back in Golden Crow Thearch tomb.

The Da Li Sacred Leader was quite grateful to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, so he came personally to congratulate him.

The heavenly aura around Divine Firmament Sacred Leader swayed gently as he replied coldly, "You're too courteous. The Saint Inauguration Ceremony will be held tomorrow, so please take a rest for now."

"I greet the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. May I know where the Divine Firmament Saint is?"

Qi Shaoxuan and others all bowed toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader as they asked for Shen Tian's whereabouts.

After bidding farewell on Immortal Abode Island, they had not seen Shen Tian afterward.

They had immediately rushed here upon learning that Shen Tian had escaped the turbulent void and returned to the sacred ground.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded and said coldly, "Tian'er is cultivating in seclusion now. He'll definitely come out to greet the guests tomorrow."

The prodigies could not help but exclaim, "As expected of Brother Shen. Not only is he extremely talented, but he is also hardworking in cultivating. We are deeply ashamed. We'll definitely cultivate diligently after we return and try our best to catch up to Brother Shen!"

Wanting to surpass Shen Tian and become the strongest prodigy in Eastern Wilderness was something they did not even dare to think.

Although it might be their dream, it was also a dream that was far from reach.

However, the numerous prodigies were still in high spirits!

If they could not fight for the best, then they would fight for second place!

Yeap, Shen Tian's first place could not be shaken!

"Rumors say that the Divine Firmament Saint has peerless talent. He is able to battle with Heavenly Venerables with his Golden Core cultivation. Would we have a chance to have a glimpse of the Divine Firmament Saint's legendary battle prowess?"

At that moment, another Sage and a few Heavenly Venerables walked up to them.

They were emitting powerful blazing energy, so it was obvious that they belonged to a sacred ground that cultivated fire-attribute techniques.

They were Heavenly Venerables from Middle Ground's Nine Sun Sacred Ground. They were resentful as their Sage had been killed by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader in the Golden Crow Thearch tomb.

However, they did not dare to cause trouble with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader since he was unfathomable. His ability to easily kill even a Sage showed how outstanding he was.

Even if they were unable to take revenge against the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader, it was not like they could not do the same with the Divine Firmament Saint!

The Nine Sun elders did not believe that Shen Tian could win against a Heavenly Venerable with just his Golden Core cultivation at all. It must definitely be a rumor.

Therefore, they opted for provoking to regain their reputation.

If they could defeat Shen Tian, it would cause the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to lose face!

They had already been around for half a month, but they had not even seen a glimpse of Shen Tian.

Before the Sacred Leader spoke, Azure Lotus chuckled and replied, "My Martial Nephew is busy. If you're itching for a fight, then I could spar with you."

Azure Lotus touched the staff in his hands, his expression playful and taunting.

How could he not know what those people's intent was?

If Shen Tian was not in seclusion, Azure Lotus would not even want to interfere. After all, given Shen Tian's battle prowess, it was a piece of cake for him to defeat those Heavenly Venerables.

Shen Tian would be able to just nicely crush those Heavenly Venerables to establish prestige.

However, even if Shen Tian was not around, Azure Lotus would not allow those people to look down on Shen Tian!

The Nine Sun Sacred Ground's Heavenly Venerables were all stunned after hearing Azure Lotus' words.

Although they were from the Middle Ground, they had frequently heard of rumors regarding Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus!

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable and could even defeat Sages after breaking through to the Mighty Prowess realm!

Also, that was in the past, so who knew whether Azure Lotus' strength had increased or not?

Although they were all Heavenly Venerables, they could not be compared to an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable.

They must have a death wish if they dared to look for trouble with Azure Lotus!

Therefore, those Nine Sun Sacred Ground's elders just smiled and bade farewell.

Azure Lotus scoffed, "Just such weaklings, and they want to find trouble with my Martial Nephew?"

Had they not been in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Azure Lotus would have already swung his staff long ago instead of speaking idle words with them!

The heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader swayed gently as he spoke. "Senior Brother, maybe this inauguration ceremony might not be that simple."

People with an agenda would definitely be attracted here as this inauguration ceremony had gathered most of the five regions' sacred grounds.

The five regions were not as safe as they looked.

The Evil Spirit Sect had always been hiding in the shadows, waiting for the chance to cause disaster and turmoil. It would definitely not let go of such an opportunity,

Also, given Shen Tian's talent, the Evil Spirit Sect must have marked him as a primary target long ago.

They had to be on guard.

Azure Lotus replied coldly, "If those evil bast*rds dare to come, then I'll definitely let them have a taste of my staff!"

Chi!

At that moment, a ray of light shone brightly!

Bright purple light enveloped heaven and earth, covering the whole Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

A humongous illusion of a pagoda shone upon the ground with an imposing aura, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

It was the God of War Pagoda!

A majestic figure surrounded by a dense aura and resplendent light appeared.

"Cultivators who have come from all corners of the land, the God of War Pagoda will have a promotional sale event to celebrate the Divine Firmament Saint Inauguration Ceremony.

"Within three days, the fee for all trials is reduced by 50%, and there will be a three-month 80% discount!

"Do not miss this golden opportunity! Those that want to appear on the God Of War List and become famous in the five regions could come and try the trial."

That figure was Ye Qingcang.

Seeing that so many people had come to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he was itching at the thought of how many treasures he could obtain.

Just how many treasures would these people have?

Why not take advantage of this good opportunity to reap some benefits?

Cough, cough... No, it's not that I want to reap benefits. I only want to provide a chance for the cultivators of the five regions to steel themselves and improve their strength.

Of course, the corresponding fees must be paid!

That definitely cannot be exempted no matter what!

Ye Qingcang's figure only appeared for a moment before suddenly disappearing again.

However, that was enough to already cause a huge uproar!

"What? The God of War Pagoda has a huge discount, and all fees for the trials have been reduced by half!?"

"It's all due to the Divine Firmament Saint!"

"How could we miss such a good opportunity?"

"I'm definitely going to appear on the God Of War List and become famous in the five regions!"

"I also want to enter the God of War Pagoda!" said a certain Sage.

In that instant, heated discussions could be heard everywhere.

Their aim for coming to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was to join the Divine Firmament Saint Inauguration Ceremony and enter the God of War Pagoda's list!

It was, in the end, a legendary pagoda well-known throughout the five regions, and countless powerful cultivators had entered it before!

If they could leave their name on the God Of War List, it would be enough for them to brag about for quite a while.

Not only young prodigies, but even Sages wanted to enter the God of War Pagoda.

The God of War Pagoda was not only a place to become famous, but it could also train oneself.

Sparring with the projections of prodigies from the Celestial World could benefit even Sages.

Therefore, most cultivators were already prepared to enter the God of War Pagoda!

As an endless stream of people flocked toward the God of War Pagoda, heaven and earth exuded killing intent while countless Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered above Saint Mountain!

"What's going on?"

"Is it possible that the Divine Firmament Saint is about to transcend the tribulation and become a Sage!?"

Everyone was astonished. They could sense just how fearsome the Heavenly Tribulation clouds were—they were not weaker than when a cultivator was breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage!

At that instant, everyone was shocked.

Was it possible that the Divine Firmament Saint was already going to transcend the tribulation to become a Sage?

If such a young Sage truly appeared, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in the five regions!

Even Qi Shaoxuan and other top prodigies looked at the Heavenly Tribulation with a serious expression. They also found it hard to believe!

They discovered that the difference between them and Shen Tian seemed to be increasing more and more!

The Heavenly Tribulation clouds were still gathering above Saint Mountain.

The thick clouds and bright lightning unleashed an aura that made others' hearts palpitate.

Everyone could sense just how terrifying the lightning tribulation was—it was filled with a destructive aura that even normal Sages might not be able to block!

That also made most of the cultivators exclaim that not only was the Divine Firmament Saint a peerless prodigy, but his first Sage Heavenly Tribulation could also release such a formidable aura.

If Shen Tian successfully broke through, his strength would definitely surpass that of a new Sage.

Only the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was calm and composed as he knew that Shen Tian was at the Nascent Soul stage. Thus, it was impossible for him to cause a Sage Heavenly Tribulation.

Azure Lotus, on the other hand, was extremely excited. Given the extent of this magnificent scene, an unparalleled treasure was about to appear!

Chapter 412: Thank You, Old Man Heavenly Tribulation For Striking Down!

The atmosphere on Saint Mountain was heavy.

The darkness of the tribulation clouds surged like a raging storm.

But even so, the Heavenly Tribulation still didn't strike. Instead, it lingered in the air, causing everyone to tremble with fear.

When they saw this scene, many people couldn't help but become bewildered. "What is going on? The Heavenly Tribulation has gathered for so long, yet it still hasn't descended?"

Ordinary Sage Heavenly Tribulations would usually descend very quickly.

However, they had already waited for several hours, and night had even fallen. Yet, the Heavenly Tribulation still hadn't erupted!

One had to know that the longer the Heavenly Tribulation accumulated, the more ferocious and terrifying its might would be!

This Heavenly Tribulation cloud's aura was terrifying to the extreme. Lightning flickered in the clouds, full of terrifying divine might as if they wanted to destroy heaven and earth!

The Heavenly Tribulation clouds that were pitch black like ink emanated numerous golden bolts of tribulation lightning. The lightning strikes were dazzling and resplendent like the scorching sun that rose into the sky, illuminating the deep night sky!

On top of that, the tribulation lightning was shaped like dragons. Multicolored light flowed in all directions, and they formed a vivid image as they ceaselessly passed through the dense tribulation clouds and emitted a horrifying aura.

Seeing this, even the Sages trembled. "Is this the Mixed Divine Heavenly Tribulation?"

The Mixed Divine Heavenly Tribulation was a great Heavenly Tribulation. Normally, it wouldn't appear in tribulations for those below the stage of a Sixth Tribulation Sage!

However, at that moment, the Mixed Divine Lightning was constantly interweaving in the clouds, and its aura was overwhelming, causing many Sages to feel apprehensive!

This terrifying great calamity was full of destructive energy as if it was going to overturn this region!

At the same time, some people also noticed some clues.

"The power of the Mixed Divine Heavenly Tribulation seems to be inferior to that of a True Sage Tribulation!"

Although the Mixed Divine Lightning appeared terrifying in terms of strength and quantity, it was still much weaker than the Sixth Tribulation Sages underwent.

But even so, the Mixed Divine Lightning was not something that could be easily overcome.

Just the aura that it emitted was enough to make most Sages extremely fearful.

But what caught everyone's attention the most was that a junior caused the Mixed Divine Heavenly Tribulation!

Didn't this mean that the Divine Firmament Saint's first Heavenly Tribulation was comparable to a Six Tribulation Sage's Heavenly Tribulation?

Tssss!

Everyone took a deep breath!

Incredible!

To be able to transcend the tribulation to become a Sage at the age of 100 was already very rare in the history of the five regions.

Not to mention, Shen Tian had just become the Saint of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. He was probably not even 100 years old!

To be able to transcend the tribulation to become a Sage before the age of 100 was shocking enough. Yet, his first Heavenly Tribulation was actually comparable to a True Sage's Heavenly Tribulation!

What kind of heaven warping genius was this? His talent was too exceptional!

The Sages of the other sacred grounds were astounded!

If the Divine Firmament Saint successfully broke through, wouldn't his strength immediately surpass a large number of Sages?

Rumble!

The tribulation clouds crazily surged, and sounds of thunder rumbling could be heard. The lightning radiance seemed brilliant and endless divine might poured out from the clouds!

The golden tribulation lightning was dazzling to the extreme, and even its aura became more violent.

Golden lightning dragons weaved through the sea of clouds, exuding a destructive might!

It was clear that the tribulation clouds had already gathered to the limit and were about to erupt and strike down!

Everyone focused their attention on Saint Mountain!

They wanted to see if the Divine Firmament Saint could really transcend the Sage Heavenly Tribulation!

At that moment, the curtain of light opened, and the multicolored light retreated!

The mountain-protecting formation around Saint Mountain slowly opened, and the scene within appeared before everyone's eyes.

Shen Tian could be seen to be at the top of the mountain, sitting down cross-legged. His body glowed, and his fingers danced in the air, creating a beautiful sight.

In front of him sat an enormous green cauldron that emitted boundless radiance and a grand aura.

Seeing this scene, everyone's pupils constricted.

The Divine Firmament Saint was not focusing on transcending the Sage Heavenly Tribulation but was actually refining pills?

Everyone was stupefied. Only now did they realize that a furnace of pills had actually triggered this terrifying Sage Heavenly Tribulation!

Just what level of medicinal pill was this that it could actually trigger even Heavenly Tribulations?

Even Qi Shaoxuan and the other elites who were on good terms with Shen Tian were dumbfounded. "Brother Shen can actually refine pills?"

They had never seen Shen Tian refine pills before, but judging from his current pill refinement technique, he was no weaker than an Alchemist Grandmaster!

Hiss, Brother Shen is so talented. He has hidden so much!

While Qi Shaoxuan and the rest were shocked, they could not help but exclaim, "Brother Shen is indeed our role model!"

One had to know that the difficulty of practicing alchemy was in no way inferior to orthodox cultivation.

Countless cultivation geniuses wanted to dual cultivate in alchemy, but they did not have such talent.

On the other hand, many geniuses were talented in alchemy, but their cultivation talent was barely satisfactory.

It was extremely rare for one to stand out in both aspects.

Nonetheless, this also proved that Shen Tian's talent was terrifying to the extreme and absolutely unprecedented!

At least in the past 10,000 years, it was impossible for someone to dual cultivate to this level at Shen Tian's age!

Even the number one Alchemy Thearch from 100,000 years ago might not be as talented!

While everyone was still in shock, Shen Tian didn't stop at all.

His hands were constantly moving, forming various formations that were inserted into the Lotus Thearch Cauldron.

He was carrying out the finishing touches and was about to condense the pill.

Waves of strange energy gathered toward the Lotus Thearch Cauldron, causing the laws of the Heavenly Dao to descend. Dense immortal light descended continuously.

At that moment, the Lotus Thearch Cauldron's light completely fused into the pills in the cauldron. Endless divine light converged as though it had returned to normal.

However, there was a faint fragrance that floated in the air and spread in all directions.

This wisp of fragrance was extremely faint and almost unable to be detected.

However, everyone present was a core expert of the major factions. Their cultivation was powerful, and they had sharp senses. Most importantly, they were extremely focused on whatever Shen Tian was doing!

Even though there was only a faint fragrance, they still caught it clearly!

At the next moment, everyone's bodies shook!

Those geniuses with lower cultivation bases sat down cross-legged and entered a state of enlightenment upon sensing the mysterious energy.

Even the Soul Formation and the Tribulation Transcendence experts felt as if their souls were transforming!

"What kind of pill is this? Isn't this a little too extraordinary?"

The Great Void Saint, Wang Shenxu, could not help but cry out in surprise. His eyes burned with passion!

Just by smelling the fragrance of the pill, he could feel his bloodline surging as if he was transforming.

Wang Shenxu was excited and couldn't help but exclaim, "This pill is very useful to me and can increase my lifespan!"

If he could obtain this pill, wouldn't he be able to instantly replenish his lifespan and kill whoever he wanted in the future?

This pill was much more powerful than the Black Tortoise Longevity Sutra. Its pure medicinal efficacy could restore the lifespan of Wang Shenxu.

More importantly, he did not need to learn from the tortoise!

This was simply a supreme pill that Wang Shenxu dreamed of!

It was the same for Qi Shaoxuan. His aura was exuberant, and his eyes shone brightly. Even with his Thearch talent, he could still sense that the pill was extremely useful to him!

This supreme pill could allow him to undergo a full transformation!

All of these were true.

What Shen Tian refined was precisely the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

In order to refine this furnace of Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills, Shen Tian had used numerous top Sage herbs. He had obtained these Sage herbs in various great mystic realms. They were incomparably precious and extremely valuable.

If it were to spread to the outside world, it would definitely cause a storm of blood. Countless Heavenly Venerables would go crazy over it, and even Sages would be moved!

However, Shen Tian actually had a full basket of such precious top-tier Sage herbs.

As a result, even if the main ingredient was not a Thearch herb, the grade of this furnace of Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills would still surpass the Sage grade!

Of course, there was also the fact that Shen Tian's alchemy techniques had improved.

However, the complementation of the countless top-tier Sage herbs also played an important role. After all, quantitative change led to qualitative change.

Moreover, with so many top-tier Sage herbs being refined together, it was extremely rare!

After 12 days of refinement and purification, this furnace of Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills had reached the pseudo-Thearch grade!

This was also the reason that even though only a trace of pill fragrance had leaked out, everyone was left greatly shaken.

A pseudo-Thearch pill was incomparably precious even in the entire five regions. It was a supreme treasure that even Sages would go crazy over!

Its value was only slightly inferior to the Thearch Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills that Shen Tian had refined previously.

After all, a Thearch herb was used previously to refine the pills, and it contained the laws of a Thearch, which are not so easy to make up for.

Even so, a pseudo-Thearch Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was far more valuable than many ordinary Thearch pills!

This was because the effect of this medicinal pill was able to ignore one's cultivation and increase one's aptitude!

Pills that could increase one's cultivation aptitude, regardless of the grade of the pill, were definitely worth much more than other ordinary pills.

Not to mention that it could disregard the strength of one's cultivation. This was simply too inconceivable.

At that moment, Shen Tian was at the final step of condensing the pill.

Because the Heavenly Dao did not tolerate the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's effects, it caused the Heavenly Tribulation to descend, wanting to destroy this heaven-defying supreme pill.

This was a very normal situation.

Once something went against the great Dao of heaven and earth, it would be destroyed by tribulation lightning!

Logically speaking, the Thearch Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills refined by Shen Tian should have been met with a Heavenly Tribulation!

After all, they were Thearch pills, true supreme pills. Their existence could even move the hearts of Thearchs. Naturally, it would not be tolerated by the heavens!

However, because Shen Tian had refined it in the Lotus Thearch's tomb, he had been isolated from the outside world.

What's more, the Lotus Thearch, the number one Alchemy Thearch from 100,000 years ago, had been present as well. He had blocked the aura of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills from seeping out, allowing them to escape the calamity!

Otherwise, the Thearch Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills wouldn't be so easily condensed, and they would surely suffer an even more terrifying strike of tribulation lightning!

At present, Shen Tian wasn't refining the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills in a specific place that isolated him from heaven and earth. Hence, he couldn't avoid the Heavenly Dao's detection.

Therefore, after the Heavenly Dao sensed that the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills had appeared in the five regions, in particular the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, it sent a Heavenly Tribulation down to destroy it.

"I wonder if the Divine Firmament Saint can withstand the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation and allow such a pill to condense fully?"

The aura of the Mixed Divine Heavenly Tribulation made many Sages palpitate. Even they weren't confident that they could withstand it.

Could the Divine Firmament Saint withstand it?

After all, to Sages who were thousands of years old, Shen Tian was still a child!

Following that, however, countless people widened their eyes as the corners of their mouths twitched crazily.

"The Divine Firmament Saint... What is he doing?"

At this time, Shen Tian wasn't as vigilant as when others were transcending their tribulations. Instead, he raised his head to the sky and bowed to the tribulation.

He said in a clear voice, "Thank you, Old Man Heavenly Tribulation, for taking time out of your busy schedule to strike my pills!"

Countless people were dumbstruck!

Even the Sages' lips were twitching.

What was this kid doing?

Worshipping the Heavenly Tribulation?

Do you think that the Heavenly Tribulation won't kill you just because you have worshipped it?

You must be kidding!

One had to know that the Heavenly Tribulation was born from the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao was heartless!

Provoking the Heavenly Tribulation might cause the power of Heavenly Tribulation to become even more fierce.

No one had ever lowered the threat of the Heavenly Tribulation with politeness!

If such an action was useful, then there wouldn't be so many unlucky people who died under the Heavenly Tribulation in this world!

The Nine Sun Saint sneered. "This kid is courting death!"

In front of Heavenly Tribulation, humans were as weak as ants. It wouldn't lower its power just because one worshiped the heavens!

Instead of going all out to deal with it, he was thinking of all sorts of tricks. Wasn't that just courting death?

The Sages and Heavenly Venerables of the Nine Sun Sacred Ground sneered. They had wanted to find trouble with Shen Tian, but they hadn't expected that this brat would seek his own death, saving them some effort.

If Shen Tian were to perish under the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be more humiliating for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground than defeating them. After all, tomorrow was the grand ceremony. If the Divine Firmament Saint had been struck dead by lightning today, it would be the best gift for them.

If it really happened, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would be mocked for the next thousands of years!

However, the scene that appeared next left the Sages dumbfounded!

The tribulation clouds above Saint Mountain seemed to be faintly affected by Shen Tian, and even the tribulation light dimmed a little.

"This is impossible!" the Nine Sun Saint cried out in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Even the other Saints were dumbfounded!

What is this?

Has the power of the Heavenly Tribulation really weakened?

Could this method really work?

Or could it be said that the Divine Firmament Saint is the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao? Even the Heavenly Tribulation had to give him face!?

Even a Sage had never seen such a strange occurrence!

However, they didn't think Shen Tian's method was really useful and were more willing to believe that Shen Tian was an illegitimate child of the Heavenly Dao.

After all, over the course of countless years, many people had done the same thing. This matter was simply too inconceivable and simply surpassed the laws of heaven and earth!

Wang Shenxu's mouth was wide open, and he felt that his jaw was about to drop. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Shen, impressive!

"Previously, we thought that Brother Shen was a Son of Providence with unparalleled luck. We didn't expect him to be the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao!

"He is simply too awesome!"

Wang Shenxu raised his thumb in admiration.

Qi Shaoxuan glanced at Wang Shenxu and said, "Idiot!"

Wang Shenxu immediately jumped up. "The one surnamed Qi, you are going too far. Do you believe that I won't sacrifice my life to kill you!?

"I've gained some insights into the Dao recently, and I've recovered 100 years of my lifespan.

"To be honest, I feel like killing someone again!"

"Oh, you can try?" Qi Shaoxuan said indifferently. The purple aura around him was vast and mighty, and it exploded with terrifying power!

The Heaven's Halberd suddenly appeared, sweeping up boundless purple Qi like a God of War descending into the mortal world!

During this period, Qi Shaoxuan's skills had improved a lot. He wanted to find someone to duel with and check out his current level.

"What... What do you want? Don't think that I'm afraid of you. If I wasn't worried about affecting Brother Shen's tribulation, I would have cut you to death!"

Wang Shenxu felt a little guilty. He didn't expect Qi Shaoxuan to really want to fight, which made him feel awkward.

Although he had recovered some of his lifespan, he could not hold out against Qi Shaoxuan!

After all, Qi Shaoxuan was the number one famous person in Eastern Wilderness if Shen Tian was ignored!

Now, he was also rumored to be the strongest in the five regions among his peers.

Without 300-500 years of lifespan as a backing, Wang Shenxu did not have the confidence to fight with this guy!

"I don't bully old people who are about to die!"

Qi Shaoxuan ignored him and turned his head away.

Wang Shenxu's heart itched at Qi Shaoxuan's disregard, but he did not dare to make a move.

Although Wang Shenxu had obtained the Black Tortoise Longevity Sutra, he had also been addicted to spending his life.

Perhaps it was because he had suppressed himself too much in the past. Wang Shenxu had been fighting without any regard for his life whenever he had a disagreement recently.

The speed at which he recovered his lifespan was not as fast as the speed at which he spent his life. Up till now, Wang Shenxu still had white hair and had yet to regain his youthful appearance.

After all, every time he slightly recovered his lifespan, he could not help but continue to spend it away.

This was like having sex. It was really hard to quit...

However, not being able to defeat him did not mean that he could not defeat him. Wang Shenxu muttered, "The one surnamed Qi, just you wait!"

I'll let you be smug for a while first. It won't take long!

The world is laughing at me for being too crazy, but I am laughing at how others can't see through me!

The supreme pill was about to appear, so he had to praise Brother Shen first.

Hehe, if Brother Shen was satisfied, wouldn't he be able to get a share of the pills when they were completed?

I am so smart!

This is a supreme pill. After eating it, perhaps I can even fly!

After eating it, my lifespan will also increase greatly. I will cut that Qi fella to death then!

Chapter 413: Attack from a True Sage!

Below Saint Mountain, regardless of whether it was the younger generation or the overlords of their respective sacred grounds, all their attention was focused on Shen Tian.

There were quite a number of experts in the Tribulation Transcendence stage present. They were all the pillars of the various sacred grounds and supreme elders. They were all experienced and knowledgeable.

However, these Sages who were thousands of years old had never witnessed such a shocking scene.

They were still in disbelief that the Heavenly Tribulation would actually be affected by a human being.

However, the scene before their eyes was so realistic that they had no choice but to believe it.

Could the Divine Firmament Saint really be the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao?

Obviously not!

How could the Heavenly Tribulation be so easily affected?

All of this was the result of Shen Tian using the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's forbidden chapter, Decalamity, to divert the attention of the Heavenly Tribulation from the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to his body.

Decalamity was a forbidden technique kept in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. When cultivated to the extreme, one could even transform into tribulation lightning and unleash the divine punishment unto the world.

Shen Tian practiced diligently and had long cultivated this forbidden technique to an extremely deep level. At his current level, he was able to interfere with the Mixed Divine Lightning Tribulation!

Otherwise, once such a terrifying lightning tribulation descended, his Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill would probably turn to ashes.

This was a pill that Shen Tian had painstakingly refined for 12 straight days. He had even used a large amount of Yang fire to refine it. How could he allow it to be destroyed?

Shen Tian lightly shouted, "Old Man Heavenly Tribulation, please be magnanimous and don't make things difficult for these pills. I will take on all the karma retribution."

The tribulation clouds rippled even more intensely, locking most of their aura onto Shen Tian.

Upon seeing this scene, many Sages could not remain calm. "Divine Firmament Saint, you have actually diverted the Heavenly Tribulation to your own body!?"

Their minds were greatly shaken as if they had seen a ghost!

It would still be acceptable if Shen Tian had affected the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Perhaps the Heavenly Tribulation was just giving him some face.

But to divert the attention of the Heavenly Tribulation? This was too much!

From ancient times until now, the Heavenly Tribulation had to be overcome by oneself, and no one could interfere with it.

Once someone interfered, not only would they be unable to draw away the Heavenly Tribulation, but it would instead cause the Heavenly Tribulation's might to become even more terrifying!

This was because the Heavenly Tribulation had already locked onto the person or object transcending the tribulation, which could not be changed!

For example, some alchemists refined peerless divine pills and attracted Heavenly Tribulation.

Although the alchemists could lend a hand to the pills, that was because the two of them were basically one.

But it was still the pills that were the Heavenly Tribulation's main targets!

The pills were something that the heavenly Dao did not tolerate and allow to appear in the mortal world!

But now, Shen Tian actually shifted the attention of the Heavenly Tribulation onto him!

This also meant that as long as he could successfully transcend the tribulation, the furnace of pills would be fine!

Pfffttt!

This was simply unreasonable and terrifying!

Boom!

As if drawn by Shen Tian, the tribulation lightning finally poured down.

The dazzling golden tribulation lightning transformed into numerous ferocious lightning dragons that roared as they resounded through heaven and the earth.

Endless lightning crashed down on Shen Tian.

The tribulation lightning covered the entirety of the sky.

Dozens of golden calamity dragons tore through the void like a hot knife through butter. They were filled with a destructive aura as they shattered the void.

Most of the people present felt their hearts tremble and palpitate.

This was the Mixed Divine Lightning. Although it was slightly weaker than the Six Tribulation True Sage Heavenly Tribulation, it was still terrifying.

Just the tribulation lightning leaking out made it difficult for many Sages to withstand.

Could the Divine Firmament Saint really withstand it?

Everyone was suspicious. Although Shen Tian's name had long spread throughout the five regions and his Golden Core cultivation was enough to fight a Heavenly Venerable, he could be said to be an unprecedented peak talent with unparalleled battle power.

However, this was the Mixed Divine Lightning Tribulation. It was a lightning tribulation that even True Sages would find difficult to deal with. Any living being below the Tribulation Transcendence stage would die upon contact with it!

Even though the Divine Firmament Saint's performance was outstanding, and he could even influence the Heavenly Tribulation, they did not believe that Shen Tian could safely survive.

The difference was too great!

The Nine Sun Saint sneered. "Even if the power of the lightning tribulation has decreased, how can this brat withstand it? He's just putting up a stubborn resistance. He will only end up as ashes. He's overestimating himself!"

The Nine Sun experts looked on with disdain, waiting to watch a good show.

If the Divine Firmament Saint were to be struck to death by the lightning tribulation, it would be a huge disgrace for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground that could not be erased for thousands of years!

But how could things go as they wished?

Since Shen Tian dared to guide the lightning tribulation, he naturally had the confidence!

Shen Tian was unafraid as he looked at the Mixed Divine Lightning that blotted out the sky. Brilliant divine light erupted from his body.

Radiance rushed into the heavens, producing an incomparably dazzling scene that illuminated heaven and earth.

Numerous avatars erupted behind Shen Tian, shaking heaven and earth!

The 10 Lightning Beasts' avatars, Dragon God avatar, Phoenix God avatar...

Behind him also appeared a green lotus that illuminated the sky and enveloped heaven and earth!

Upon seeing this, Wang Shenxu's mouth twitched. "It's only been a month since we last met, how did Brother Shen become so fierce!?"

Back on Immortal Abode Island, Shen Tian's combat strength had already been unparalleled. To be able to defeat a Heavenly Venerable at the Golden Core stage was enough to shock these paragons!

It had only been a short month, and Shen Tian's cultivation had actually reached Peak-Stage Nascent Soul?

Even if I take drugs every day, my cultivation will not rise as fast as his!

What kind of pills did Brother Shen take to increase his cultivation?

Wang Shenxu felt dizzy. He had initially thought that he could still put up a fight against Shen Tian, but he decided to forget about it now. Was it not good to live?

Must he go and get himself beaten up?

Qi Shaoxuan's body shook too. His eyes were filled with seriousness.

Although Qi Shaoxuan was convinced by Shen Tian some time ago, he still harbored some thoughts. After all, as Eastern Wilderness' top genius, Qi Shaoxuan already felt like he was no weaker than the others with his Thearch talent!

It wasn't until Shen Tian had appeared that he felt heavy pressure and was repeatedly defeated!

However, this didn't affect Qi Shaoxuan. Instead, it aroused his fighting spirit, hoping to catch up to Shen Tian one day.

However, after today, Qi Shaoxuan had completely given up!

How was he supposed to chase after him?

He couldn't even defeat Shen Tian when he was at the Golden Core stage, let alone when he had reached Peak-Stage Nascent Soul.

Forget it. Since I can't become the strongest in Eastern Wilderness, then I will fight to become the strongest in the world!

At the thought of this, Qi Shaoxuan regained his heroic spirit, and purple energy rose from his body as he looked down on the world!

Shen Tian's aura was getting stronger.

Lightning erupted around him, reflecting the tribulation lightning in the sky!

Dazzling lightning surged out and covered his entire body, bathing him in the lightning and heavenly aura. He was like a Lightning Emperor descending to the mortal world.

This was the forbidden technique of the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra, which allowed one to turn his body into tribulation lightning.

At that moment, Shen Tian seemed to have transformed to become the controller of the Heavenly Tribulation and was all prepared to fight with the Mixed Divine Lightning!

Boom!

The Mixed Divine Lightning erupted. Golden lightning dragons opened their bloody mouths and tore toward Shen Tian!

Terrifying tribulation thunder continuously shot out, overturning the heavens. The void distorted and shattered into nothingness.

Shen Tian's expression didn't change. He took the initiative to rush toward the tribulation lightning and was instantly covered by it.

A Nine Sun Heavenly Venerable mockingly said, "This boy is playing tricks on us. If he dares to meet this Mixed Divine Lightning Tribulation head-on, he's dead for sure."

Against the power of the Mixed Divine Lightning Tribulation, even a True Sage who had yet to undergo his Six Tribulation might not be able to resist it!

Not to mention, Shen Tian was merely a Nascent Soul junior. How could he withstand the tribulation lightning?

The result was obvious!

But what happened next shocked all the Sages present!

The terrifying tribulation thunder crashed down, intertwining with the lightning on Shen Tian's body and shooting out an incomparably dazzling light!

Shen Tian was in an endless sea of thunder, but the tribulation lightning behind him was unable to harm him in the slightest.

The 10 Lightning Beasts' avatars behind Shen Tian suddenly opened their bloody mouths and lunged at the golden lightning dragon.

In an instant, the golden lightning dragon collapsed with a bang, and it was ceaselessly absorbed and refined into the purest source of lightning!

Some Sages were shocked and could not help but exclaim, "How is this possible? The Divine Firmament Saint is actually absorbing the power of the tribulation lightning!?"

The Mixed Divine Lightning Tribulation made even Sages feel pressured. However, not only was Shen Tian safe and sound, but he had also transformed into a thunder beast that wanted to devour the tribulation!

In the last 10,000 years, was there anyone who had dared to swallow the Heavenly Tribulation and the Mixed Divine Lightning tribulation on top of that!?

Even a True Sage would not dare to do so!

It was too scary!

This was simply shocking!

Shen Tian had an indifferent expression. He was able to swallow the tribulation lightning because of the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Sutra and the Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art!

The Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Sutra had extremely great control over the power of lightning. It could even use forbidden techniques to transform one's body into tribulation to interfere with the tribulation lightning!

Against the Heavenly Tribulation, cultivators who cultivated the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Sutra were at an advantage.

On the other hand, the Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art was a cultivation technique from the Chaotic Tinder Sutra. It could devour all things in the world and fuse them into one's body to strengthen one's foundation!

It was also thanks to this cultivation technique that Shen Tian completely devoured even the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning!

The numbing lightning tribulation tasted quite good!

Endless lightning enveloped his body, making him appear even more mystical.

It was as if he was a god that controlled lightning, who had the divine lightning of the world submitting to him!

The faces of the people from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground were ashen. They originally thought that Shen Tian would die without a doubt, but not only was Shen Tian fine, but he had even relied on the Mixed Divine Lightning Tribulation to strengthen himself.

They felt like they had been slapped on their faces!

"The Divine Firmament Saint is indeed a genius. He will definitely reach the peak of the five regions in the future!"

Most of the Sages present couldn't help but be shocked, and their opinion of Shen Tian underwent a tremendous change!

The strength Shen Tian displayed far surpassed their imagination.

Even the Middle Ground Sages sighed. "It's said that a young paragon had appeared in the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty. At a young age, he has already become a Heavenly Venerable.

"He even killed a True Sage from the Evil Spirit Sect. He is famed as a supreme paragon that is rarely seen in the five regions.

"The Divine Firmament Saint's talent is probably not inferior to that supreme youth paragon!

"I wonder who is stronger between the two of them."

Even a Sage might not be as relaxed as Shen Tian when facing the Mixed Divine Lightning Tribulation.

Not to mention that Shen Tian was able to convert the power of tribulation lightning into his own!

As such, the power that Shen Tian displayed had already surpassed most of the Sages. He was a dragon amongst men!

"If the Divine Firmament Saint can grow up safely, he will definitely be an existence that dominates the world!"

Some Sages couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "Middle Ground and Eastern Wilderness have already produced such peerless geniuses. It seems like the world is really going to fall into chaos."

The era where all the paragons appeared could be said to be a golden age, but this also meant that there would definitely be a great calamity incoming!

This had basically become the order of heaven and earth. Only when this world sensed a great calamity would a large number of peerless geniuses be born.

This was for the sake of nurturing a hero who would save the world when the calamity descended.

This theory was as vague as Karmic Luck, but it was an existence that everyone had no choice but to believe!

The brutal battle from 10,000 years ago was still vivid in everyone's mind!

Thus, Shen Tian's abnormal talent made many Sages worry.

18 streaks of Mixed Divine Tribulation Lightning struck Shen Tian for an entire hour before it finally stopped!

Shen Tian had absorbed a massive amount of Mixed Divine Lightning. His entire body shined, and the origin source of the Mixed Divine Lightning became increasingly thick.

Even the lightning around his body became incomparably resplendent, releasing golden divine radiance, seeming incomparably dazzling!

This was the power of heaven and earth. It had greatly increased Shen Tian's strength and his control over the Mixed Divine Lightning. If he could refine all of the lightning he had absorbed, his strength would definitely increase greatly!

At that time, even True Sages would be fearful of him!

Sensing that he had absorbed most of his energy, Shen Tian transferred the remaining lightning essence into the Lotus Thearch Cauldron.

For a time, the Lotus Thearch Cauldron shone brightly like the scorching sun. It was mixed with the power of lightning as if it was about to transform!

The Heavenly Tribulation was also a form of baptism for the pills!

After absorbing the Mixed Divine Lightning Tribulation source, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills' medicinal efficacy would rise by another level!

Chi!

A divine rainbow shot into the sky, illuminating the pitch-black night sky with incomparable brightness!

The Lotus Thearch Cauldron stood tall in the void. Its light was extremely resplendent, like a blazing sun rising up, attracting everyone's attention!

The lid of the cauldron slowly opened, and 18 sparkling and translucent medicinal pills floated out. They were enshrouded in a dense fog and were as dazzling as stars!

An extremely rich pill fragrance emanated out of the cauldron, spreading thousands of kilometers and enveloping the entirety of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

In an instant, everyone was immersed in the pill fragrance. All their pores opened wide as they greedily absorbed the pure spiritual energy that leaked out.

Under the influence of this pill fragrance, many of the paragons with lower cultivation levels immediately experienced a breakthrough, with their strength greatly increasing!

This phenomenon happened everywhere. It made the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground seem like a venue for cultivation breakthroughs!

Even the Sages benefited from this. The divine light on their bodies was resplendent, and their auras were faintly changing.

They seemed to have comprehended something!

Such a divine pill was enough to drive everyone crazy!

Even in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, there were many experts whose hearts were beginning to stir. After all, supreme treasures were capable of moving one's heart. They were capable of making one take risks out of desperation!

Finally, someone couldn't hold it in anymore.

A figure suddenly appeared in the air and transformed into a long rainbow that charged toward Shen Tian.

That figure was extremely fast, as fast as lightning.

Space shattered wherever it passed, instantly appearing on Saint Mountain.

He suddenly stretched out a large hand that blotted out the sky and the sun. It carried an irresistible force as he grabbed at the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills!

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked!

This was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, yet there was someone so bold as to snatch the pills here?

Was he not afraid of being besieged by the Divine Firmament experts?

However, the crowd soon reacted.

The attacker was very powerful and had reached the True Sage level.

His speed was extremely fast, far surpassing that of ordinary True Sages. He was comparable to a Great Sage!

Most importantly, this fellow was also very skilled in concealment techniques.

If it wasn't for this, it would be impossible for him to approach Saint Mountain without making a sound and without being discovered by anyone!

After all, more than one Sages were watching over Saint Mountain. This person could definitely be considered as someone with great skill and courage!

His goal was clear. After snatching the supreme pills, he would flee.

By the time the Divine Firmament experts reacted, it would probably be too late!

After all, Shen Tian was the only one on Saint Mountain. How could he resist a True Sage?

These Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills were his!

Chapter 414: Villains Die From Being Talkative!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader disappeared into the fabrics of space and rushed toward Saint Mountain.

The other Sages also reacted and took action.

However, they were still too late.

Even if the Sages rushed toward Saint Mountain, they were still quite a distance away from Saint Mountain. Thus, they would not make it in time.

The Divine Firmament Saint was in danger!

That was a Six Tribulation True Sage, so even most Sages present were unable to block his attack.

Although the battle prowess that Shen Tian displayed was astonishing, he was not a Six Tribulation True Sage's opponent!

The Six Tribulation True Sage formed laws and attacked, grabbing Shen Tian and the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.

His aim was obvious—not only did he want to snatch the supreme pills, but he also wanted to capture Shen Tian as a hostage!

Shen Tian was extremely important to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, so the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader would definitely not dare to act rashly if he could take Shen Tian hostage!

He could also take advantage of such an opportunity to escape safely!

Not to mention it would definitely be a piece of cake for him to capture Shen Tian with his cultivation level.

In that instant, space collapsed, and laws became chaotic, revealing large pockets of void!

A monstrous hand appeared and wanted to grab Shen Tian!

Shen Tian frowned, and his mouth twitched!

What is going on?

I can understand if you want to snatch the pills as such supreme pills are enough to make Sages go crazy over them, proving how awesome my alchemy skills are!

However, you're going too far if you want to capture me!

Do you really think I'm an easy target?

You think I'm that soft?

Boom!

Shen Tian's aura erupted!

He instantly started circulating his Chaotic Tinder Sutra while the 10 extraordinary items within him burst out with surging momentum!

His body radiated brilliant divine light and engulfed Shen Tian.

All of Shen Tian's hair stood up and pointed toward the sky as if he was a Super Saiyan, emitting a powerful aura!

There are dire consequences for infuriating me!

The Ocean Divine Hammer also suddenly appeared in Shen Tian's hands, and there was even a layer of First Essence Heavy Water on it. That increased the power of the Ocean Divine Hammer to the maximum as if being able to smash through all obstacles!

Shen Tian lifted the Ocean Divine Hammer and shouted, "Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers—Star-Smashing Hammer!"

The Ocean Divine Hammer smashed toward that Six Tribulation True Sage with incredible strength, its pressure as heavy as a mountain!

The surrounding space suddenly exploded and the turbulent void surged, but they were still unable to cover the Ocean Divine Hammer's light!

The laws were in turmoil, and space was distorted wherever the Ocean Divine Hammer swept past!

Boom!

The booming sounds were deafening, and smoke and dust filled the air!

That huge hand suddenly exploded, but the hammer did not stop—it still swung toward the Six Tribulation True Sage!

Before the Six Tribulation True Sage reacted, he was knocked away by that hammer and flew back by thousands of feet.

Even his Sage Domain, which would automatically protect him, was smashed into pieces!

The Six Tribulation True Sage's aura became extremely chaotic, and he could not help but curse, "F*ck, how is he so strong? Such a powerful strike! I can even hear my head buzzing!"

The Six Tribulation True Sage originally thought that Shen Tian could transcend the Mixed Lightning Tribulation because of his cultivation technique. Thus, no matter how talented Shen Tian was, he would at most have the strength of a pseudo-Sage since he was still young.

If that were the case, the Six Tribulation True Sage would be able to easily suppress Shen Tian.

Therefore, the Six Tribulation True Sage thought nothing of Shen Tian and only used a portion of his strength, thinking he would be able to easily capture Shen Tian.

Many Sages were rushing there, so he had to stay on guard to prevent any accidents. It was because of his carelessness that made the Six Tribulation True Sage suffer a great loss!

While looking at that huge hammer in Shen Tian's hands, the Six Tribulation True Sage was completely stunned and even doubted himself.

Meanwhile, the other cultivators who were looking at the scene were also astounded.

You must be joking! The Divine Firmament Saint is so powerful that he could even knock away a True Sage!?

Those that originally wanted to gain an advantage in the chaotic situation had completely given up on such a thought!

I might die from that hammer strike!

Although there was the factor of the Six Tribulation True Sage being careless, Shen Tian's monstrous talent could not be ignored!

The numerous Sages were all astonished.

"As expected of the Divine Firmament Saint. His talent could already be compared to Tianzi's!"

They have already acknowledged that Shen Tian had the strength of an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable—his battle prowess could even be compared to a new Sage!

Otherwise, he would not have been able to send an unsuspecting Six Tribulation True Sage flying.

Shen Tian could already be compared to Middle Ground's young prodigy!

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu gazed at each other speechlessly and could not help but gulp down their saliva.

"Who told me that Brother Shen is a Peak-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Come out. I promise I won't beat you to death!"

WTF, Peak-Stage Nascent? Where could you find such a ferocious Nascent Soul cultivator that can even send a Six Tribulation True Sage flying?

At that thought, Wang Shenxu and Qi Shaoxuan turned to look at Fang Chang.

"Eh, this might be a misunderstanding..."

Fang Chang's face turned red. He had originally heard from Shen Tian that his cultivation level was Peak-Stage Nascent Soul!

Who would have known that this Junior Brother of his seemed to have broken through again in just the past 10 days!

His Junior Brother was simply too fast!

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu took a deep breath. "Is it possible that Brother Shen has already reached the Soul Formation stage?"

"How long has it been!? Indeed, a Son of Providence's talent is beyond imagination!"

"In the end, the both of us still pale in comparison!"

The crowd was still astonished, but the Six Tribulation True Sage had reacted. He was most proficient in speed and stealth, so he would escape quickly regardless of success or failure.

Unfortunately, he had underestimated Shen Tian's strength, resulting in his ambush's failure. He was even smashed until he doubted himself and even stunned momentarily. If he did not run away now, then he would not be able to leave anymore!

Well... It could be said that even if he did escape immediately, it was already too late.

A majestic figure suddenly appeared in front of the Six Tribulation True Sage, and endless lightning and heavenly aura erupted.

An insane and ice-cold killing intent was emitted—it was like a lightning blade that could slice the earth into two!

That figure was the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!

How could the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader stay aloof and indifferent when someone dared to make a move on the Divine Firmament Saint in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?

Even the surrounding Sages could not help but shiver when sensing that piercingly cold killing intent.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had concealed his true strength too deeply, so no one knew just how powerful he was.

However, looking at the current situation, even a Six Tribulation True Sage would not be able to endure his rage!

The heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader surged like turbulent waves. His voice was indifferent and emotionless but sent shivers down others' backs.

"Even if I burn my core essence today and be injured heavily, I will definitely stop you from escaping! Since you dared to harm our sacred ground's Saint, be prepared to die without mercy!"

The Six Tribulation True Sage was dumbfounded.

Just how did I harm that kid? Are you kidding me? The one who was injured was me, okay!?

That kid is still very much alive and unscathed!

The Six Tribulation True Sage could feel his lungs hurting. It must be because the Ocean Divine Hammer had smashed him.

His liver was also hurting. It must be because the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader's words enraged him!

Why did he feel as if the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was slightly strange?

Why would the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader put his life on the line to stop me from escaping?

Normally speaking, shouldn't we probe each others' strength first in a battle between Sages?

Why would you directly begin a fight to the death by consuming your core essence?

Not to mention, would he truly burn his core essence?

It doesn't seem like he would at all!

The Six Tribulation True Sage was confused.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not speak anymore and directly made a move!

"Lightning Purgatory!"

Chains with the violent power of lightning appeared in the sky orderly.

Those lightning chains interlocked in the sky and completely sealed off the whole region, forming a prison of lightning.

The Six Tribulation True Sage was shocked. He tried to run away at maximum speed, stepping on divine rainbows as he tried to escape the range of the Lightning Purgatory.

However, it was already too late. The Lightning Purgatory instantly came down and covered the Six Tribulation True Sage completely, making him unable to escape.

Seeing such a scene, all of the surrounding Sages' jaws dropped.

"The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader hid his strength too deeply!"

"He's able to even trap a Six Tribulation True Sage!"

A Six Tribulation True Sage was already counted as quite a powerful existence among the Sages. Not to mention that this Six Tribulation True Sage was only one step away from being a Great Sage whilst his speed could even surpass normal Great Sages.

Meanwhile, Great Sages were already counted as top mighty cultivators—a presence that could dominate an entire region on their own.

Even the speedster Great Sage was unable to escape from the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's attack, proving how formidable it was!

One had to know that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had only become a Sage for less than 1,000 years!

To older Sages, this new Sage's strength was simply overly powerful!

At that moment, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's cold voice echoed.

"Those that provoke the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground shall be punished!

"Those that insult the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground shall be punished!

"Those that harm the Divine Firmament Saint shall be punished!"

That was the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's attitude and had to be shown for everyone to see!

No one could trample on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

Cough, cough... Most importantly, it was for Shen Tian to see his attitude!

The Lightning Purgatory flashed with endless lightning!

Each bolt of lightning was like a blade that slashed onto the Six Tribulation True Sage heavily.

"Damn you!"

The Six Tribulation True Sage panicked. No matter how he attacked, he could not escape this cage.

The lightning was filled with a destructive aura, so he could not block the lightning no matter how strong his physical body was. Thus, he was riddled with injuries.

Boom!

Another lightning struck! The Six Tribulation True Sage could not endure anymore and was heavily injured.

At the same time, a pitch-black evil aura suddenly rose from within him—it was ruthless and tyrannical like a vengeful ghost!

Upon seeing this, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura swayed gently as he spoke indifferently. "Evil Spirit Sect, Spirit Away Sect's Sect Master Hidden Shadow?"

This evil aura was something that only evil cultivators of the Evil Spirit Sect would possess!

Meanwhile, there was only one evil cultivator within the Evil Spirit Sect with cultivation level at Six Tribulation True Sage and such powerful stealth abilities. It was the Spirit Away Sect's Sect Master Hidden Shadow!

The Evil Spirit Sect had a total of 36 branch sects, but only the people in the Spirit Away Sect were the most special.

Their stealth abilities were extremely powerful, and they could conceal their presence completely. Almost no one would be able to discover them if they did not use their Evil Spirit Sect's cultivation techniques.

Had the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader not cornered Hidden Shadow, his identity would not have been exposed at all!

The Sages in the surrounding narrowed their eyes. They had never expected the Evil Spirit Sect to be this rampant, actually daring to assault Shen Tian so openly!

Evil bast*rds!

They did not even take the various sacred grounds' cultivators seriously!

However, given the superb stealth skills and his Six Tribulation True Sage strength... If he were to go to numerous sacred grounds to assassinate prodigies or even elders, no one would be able to notice!

At that thought, the Sages of the various sacred grounds suddenly became anxious, and their killing intent erupted!

No matter what, they had to stop that person from escaping today, or else he would bring about endless trouble!

In the past 10,000 years, countless prodigies had died in the hands of the Evil Spirit Sect!

The Sages from the various sacred grounds, such as the Sacred Leaders and Grand Elders, surrounded Hidden Shadow as they planned to kill him!

Hidden Shadow's voice was hoarse, and he screamed like a vengeful ghost, "Zhang Longyuan, I admit that I've lost in your hands, but you don't have the capability to kill me!"

Hidden Shadow was full of blood, and an endless demonic aura enveloped his whole body. His pupils were extremely red and emitting a strange light.

The numerous elders of the sacred grounds lashed out, "How bold of you evil creature to dare say such impertinent words at the face of death!"

"If I want to leave, you weaklings won't be able to stop me!"

Hidden Shadow scoffed and took out an item!

A ray of light which was dark to the extreme soared into the sky. It was filled with an evil aura that pierced through the sky.

The surrounding Lightning Purgatory Lightning Array Formation seemed to even shake slightly.

"That's... the Boundary-Breaking Awl?" exclaimed certain Sage from Middle Ground. Evidently, the item Hidden Shadow had taken out had astonished him!

The Boundary-Breaking Awl was a pseudo-Thearch artifact made by a Sub-Thearch and was especially used to break through array formations and space.

,000 years ago, powerful Evil Spirit cultivators had used the Boundary-Breaking Awl to forcibly break through the defense array of a certain sacred ground in the Middle Ground and brought their army to attack that sacred ground!

That sacred ground had been wiped out in a single night, and no one had survived. That incident had even alarmed the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty!

Countless people feared that such an incident would repeat itself, so the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty had sent out their top cultivators to annihilate the Evil Spirit Sect.

Unfortunately, the Evil Spirit Sect had still managed to escape.

According to rumors, the Boundary-Breaking Awl had broken, so it could not be casually used anymore. Otherwise, such an evil artifact would still be the sacred grounds' the nightmare.

They had never expected that Hidden Shadow would bring the Boundary-Breaking Awl here. It was obvious that he was well-prepared!

Meanwhile, Hidden Shadow had already made a move. He swung the Boundary-Breaking Awl in his hand and smashed toward the Lightning Array Formation in the sky.

Boom!

A loud explosion resounded!

A crack instantly appeared in the Lighting Purgatory, and Hidden Shadow took the chance to escape.

After Hidden Shadow escaped, he was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader coldly.

"I'll remember this. Shortly after, the Evil Spirit army will attack!

"Prepare to enjoy the taste of fear!

"Hahaha!"

Hidden Shadow laughed heartily in the sky. Although he was a Six Tribulation True Sage, his speed could be compared to that of a Nine Tribulation Great Sage.

If he wanted to leave, no one would be able to stop him.

However, at that moment, the tide turned again.

Clang!

A crisp sound echoed!

A huge golden staff appeared behind Hidden Shadow, striking his head!

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' figure suddenly appeared as he spoke. "F*ck, so much nonsense, I'll beat you to death with my staff!"

Even a Six Tribulation True Sage could not help but feel dizzy because of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' strike and fall from the sky.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader rushed to the sky and instantly used his lightning chains to tie Hidden Shadow up, completely binding him.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura swayed gently as he used voice transmission. "Senior Brother, aren't you snatching my contributions?"

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus smiled even more brightly as he replied, "Junior Brother, who told you to hide your strength? You sly old fox, I'm definitely getting the credit for capturing Hidden Shadow!"

Hehe, I can go and find Martial Nephew for some benefits again after contributing this much~

"Azure Lotus, you have no morals! You actually ambushed me!" snarled Hidden Shadow.

Unfortunately, he was bound by the lightning chains that surged toward him and was completely paralyzed.

The Sages who were at the side were speechless when they saw such a scene.

They had never expected Hidden Shadow, whose speed could be compared to that of a Great Sage and who was holding such a pseudo-Thearch artifact, would fail so miserably by being hit by Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' staff.

Shen Tian shook his head and sighed.

"Why did you have to show off?"

Normally, following the novels' rationale, villains would die from being talkative!

Chapter 415: Divine Firmament's Auction!

The various Sages heaved a sigh of relief as they saw Hidden Shadow tied up tightly by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

At last, that evil bastard has been captured!

The various sacred grounds knew how great a threat the Evil Spirit Sect was. Unfortunately, the Evil Spirit Sect had been hiding in secret, being cautious and keeping a low profile. Therefore, even though the various sacred grounds have been trying to annihilate the Evil Spirit Sect, the effects were not obvious.

Unexpectedly, a True Sage from the Evil Spirit Sect had come to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to assassinate Shen Tian.

Such bold actions made them could not help but be on guard!

It was a bad sign!

The Evil Spirit Sect had been around for a long time, so no one knew just how powerful it was!

However, just one thing was beyond no doubt—if the Evil Spirit Sect started a war, it would be a catastrophe.

No sacred grounds could stay out of it, and the whole five regions would be plunged into an abyss of misery!

Meanwhile, from what Hidden Shadow had said, the Evil Spirit army would attack the five regions shortly after.

Sages from the various sacred grounds could not help but worry.

"A great calamity is about to befall!"

The heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader swayed slightly. "The Evil Spirit Sect's True Sage has been oppressed, so the Saint Inauguration Ceremony will be held as per schedule."

The various Sages suppressed their worries and looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

Seeing the unfathomable Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, the Sages could not help but exclaim from the bottom of their heart, "It's all due to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader burning his core essence that we could capture the Evil Spirit Sect's True Sage. We're deeply ashamed."

Everyone was shocked by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's strength. Although he had only been a Sage for 1,000 years, his ability was unfathomable. Many older Sages were forced to admit with regret their inferiority.

If not for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader trapping Hidden Shadow, no one else present would be able to stop him as he had the speed which surpassed even most Great Sages.

By then, it would be a huge loss of face for the Sages!

Not to mention Hidden Shadow was a potential danger—he would become the various sacred grounds' nightmare if he escaped.

Even a Sage would have sleepless nights if a Six Tribulation True Sage from the Evil Spirit Sect with such powerful stealth abilities targeted them.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura swayed as he spoke indifferently. "Tian'er is my disciple and also the Saint of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

"I won't let those that dare harm the Saint go even if I consume all my core essence!

"At the same time, I also have the responsibility to protect every disciple in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

"As long as those Evil Spirit scoundrels dare to harm my sect's disciples, I will definitely fight until my last breath!

"As long as Divine Firmament exists, our noble spirit is imperishable!"

As long as Divine Firmament exists, our noble spirit is imperishable!

The other sacred grounds' prodigies were astonished and then turned envious.

"As long as Divine Firmament exists, their noble spirit is imperishable! Such awe-spiring words!"

"That's the Divine Firmament Saint's Master? How admirable!"

"He really cares for his disciples, protecting them even at the cost of consuming all of his core essence!"

"The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is so lucky to have such a sacred leader!"

"Look at our sacred leader, every day thinking of all kinds of ways to collect fees for teaching us. They can't be compared!"

"Yes, my younger sister is also at the age of cultivating. I must think of a way for her to enter the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground since there'll be someone backing her up!"

"That's right, if the world really plunges into chaos, we'll have another route of retreat with someone in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground."

At that time, countless prodigies could not help but stare at their sacred leaders with resentment.

Their stares were like saying, "Just look at how the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is!"

The various sacred grounds' sacred leaders' mouths twitched as they were in an unfavorable situation. They could predict that the pool of potential cultivators joining their sacred grounds might decrease for a long time in the future!

Azure Lotus pursed his lips.

Junior Brother, that sly fox is doing it again!

How could Azure Lotus not know what the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was thinking? It was just the routine chicken soup for their sacred ground's disciples.

More importantly, the core target was to earn brownie points with Shen Tian!

He had obviously succeeded.

Shen Tian was touched, so he took out two gold-lacquered jade bottles and handed them to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

"Master, here are 50 liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid and Triple Light Divine Water to recover the core essence that you have expended!"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura swayed slightly as he replied, "Thank you, but I am alright. I can recover after resting for a few days, so leave such precious elixirs for yourself!"

Shen Tian bowed and said, "Master, you've consumed a large amount of core essence to fight that Evil Spirit scoundrel so that you could protect me. My cultivation level is still too low, so I am unable to help much. Master, please do not refuse!"

"Tian'er, I really don't need it!"

"Master, please accept it!"

"Tian'er, leave such a high grade of restorative elixir for yourself!"

"Master, I still have a lot of it, so you don't need to worry!"

I still have a lot of it...

Those three rejections and three persuasion attempts made the present Sages turn green with envy.

These were 50 liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid and Triple Light Divine Water!

Although the Nirvana Holy Liquid's effects were slightly poorer, its large quantity was enough to make up for the quality!

One would be able to restore their core essence quite a few times with 50 liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

Not to mention there was still the more precious Triple Light Divine Water—that was the supreme treasure universally known for its healing effects!

Such a supreme treasure was useful to even Sages and could heal Dao injuries!

If it appeared elsewhere, countless mighty figures would fight over it!

The various sacred leaders felt jealous.

Why are others' Saints so wealthy?

They then took a look at their own Saints, and those Sages could not help but shake their heads!

Sigh... Comparisons are odious!

Why are they so poor? How could they cultivate without money!?

Azure Lotus had already turned green with envy.

Even Azure Lotus knew that compared to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, his ability to feed others chicken soup and gain brownie points paled in comparison.

The old Taoist priest said pitifully, "Martial Nephew, I have also contributed greatly to capturing that Evil Spirit scoundrel! He was indeed quite powerful. I have consumed a large amount of Spirit Qi to suppress him as he crazily struggled. It's extremely tiring. Could you give me like a dozen Sky-Mending Pills to recover!"

The crowd, "..."

As expected of Azure Lotus, his thick skin was unmatched!

Consumed a large amount of Spirit Qi?

Did you forget that you had just hit him from behind with your staff?

How did you use so much Spirit Qi?

Is it possible that your staff was not hard enough and broke in the process?

Even so, you're going too far!

Shen Tian was filled with helplessness as he was caught between laughter and tears. "Martial Uncle, please don't joke around. You took care of him with just one strike of your staff. Why is it that from what you said, it seems like you've undergone an intense battle?"

Azure Lotus' face turned red, but he quickly covered it up. "I have internal injuries, so it's not obvious.

"Anyway, I'm injured. If I don't have the Sky-Mending Pill to heal me, I'll most probably die shortly. Do you bear to see me—"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader could not bear listening, so he directly used his lightning chains to bind Azure Lotus and brought him away!

"Junior Brother, wait! I still have more to say! Martial Nephew, how about... just nine. This is fine too!

"Eight, seven, six, even five is alright! Mhmmm—"

The Mixed Divine Lightning gathered to form the shape of a rag and was stuffed into Azure Lotus' mouth.

Azure Lotus' hair stood up, and his incessant nonsense also stopped, so everything returned to peace and silence.

Looking at Azure Lotus being dragged away, the numerous Divine Firmament elders heaved a sigh of relief.

Yeap, good job Sacred Leader!

That guy should not continue speaking. It's simply too embarrassing!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has a reputation to uphold!

After dragging Azure Lotus to one side, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader appeared beside Shen Tian to protect him.

Shen Tian put away his Lotus Thearch Cauldron and passed 10 Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills from within to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

"Master, I dedicate these 10 Sky-Mending Pills to the sacred ground."

As the saying went, "A man's wealth is his own ruin by causing others' greed".

Shen Tian was aware of this. He would definitely be targeted if he left all the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills on him as many people had seen him making them.

Those Sages seemed as if they were not tempted on the surface, but they definitely would also want them. After all, they were pills that could attract the Mixed Lightning Heavenly Tribulation.

It was enough for many Sages to take the risk!

Hidden Shadow was an obvious example—even a Six Tribulation True Sage could not resist snatching them even at the cost of exposing his identity!

Thus, this showed it was definitely difficult for other Sages to resist such a temptation.

Also, Shen Tian couldn't stay in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground for his whole life as he had to leave the sacred ground sooner or later.

It would then be easy for others to target him!

Although Shen Tian thought nothing of an ambush by just one or two low-level Sages, it was troublesome!

Fighting and killing were also quite tiring, and if he injured the person too heavily, it would be easy for others to hold a grudge against him.

Therefore, it was better for him to pass the Sky-Mending Pills to the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader in front of everyone else to save the trouble.

The less trouble, the better!

It was better to be safe than sorry in the cultivation world!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura swayed vigorously as he spoke. "Tian'er, what do you think we should do with these pills?"

As a sly old fox, how could he not know Shen Tian's considerations? Therefore, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not refuse but instead asked what Shen Tian's opinion was.

Shen Tian touched his chin. "Master, I think we could auction the Sky-Mending Pills and obtain some Sage herbs or artifacts. The highest bidder would be able to obtain them.

"Also, if our sacred ground's disciples or elders require the Sky-Mending Pill, I could also help refine it. Of course, they would need to provide the materials themselves."

Only the first Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill would be effective, so it was useless to eat a second one!

As such, it was better to just directly auction off those pills in exchange for a large number of Sage herbs and artifacts.

Not only could the relationship between the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and other sacred grounds improve, but a large number of resources could also be obtained.

As long as there were enough herbs and Yang fire, Shen Tian could make even more Sky-Mending Pills!

It was not just a one-time thing—he could do that as long as the conditions allowed.

It was just refining Sky-Mending Pills!

Shen Tian could have as many of those pills as he wanted if he just spent some time!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura swayed gently. "I am pleased that Tian'er has such thoughts.

"Such being the case, all the treasures exchanged by the Sky-Mending Pills will belong to you!"

Shen Tian was stunned, but he firmly replied, "Master, I am also a member of the sacred ground, so naturally, I would want to contribute. The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills are something I have given to the sacred ground, so the resources shall belong to the sacred ground. I cannot take them!

"I have always believed that one should not think of what the sacred ground has done for you, but instead, think of what you could do for the sacred ground!

"I am very happy to be able to contribute to the sacred ground. Master, please accept it."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader shook his head and said, "Tian'er, you have spent much effort and resources to make the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills, so the sacred ground cannot allow you to suffer such a loss. It's decided already, so don't refuse anymore!"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's tone was determined, and he did not give any chance for refusal.

Shen Tian had no other choice but to nod and agree.

Yeap, that's right—he definitely had no other choice. How regretful~

Shortly after, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader left Saint Mountain with the 10 Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian planned to have a rest. He had been in seclusion for so long and even refining pills for 12 days straight.

Shen Tian had used too much Yang fire, so he had to take a rest.

At the same time, he also had to familiarize himself with the procedures in preparation for the Saint Inauguration Ceremony tomorrow.

Most importantly, Shen Tian had to make another dozen of Blood God's Son for safety!

Since everyone was saying that the Evil Spirit Sect would cause trouble and the five regions would become chaotic, safety was naturally the most important in such a situation.

He had to use his Yang fire and essence energy in everything.

Sigh... How tiring!

But there's no other choice!

Shortly after, the news of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader auctioning the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills had been widely spread.

Only by doing so would the various Sages know that Shen Tian had already given the pills to the sacred ground to prevent them from having any other thoughts.

Secondly, it was also to advertise the auction!

It would not be an auction if no mighty figures participated in it!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader told the disciples to prepare an area for the auction and made Shopkeeper Song the auctioneer.

Shopkeeper Song had been the Sky Spirit Pavilion's shopkeeper in the past, so he was the most suitable one in hosting this auction.

Naturally, Shopkeeper Song was overwhelmed by the unexpected honor.

It was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's auction, and the participants were mighty existences, such as the various sacred grounds' Sacred Leaders and Grand Elders.

He went mad with joy as he would be able to host the auction.

"Sacred Leader, please don't worry. I will definitely try my best!"

Shopkeeper Song smiled brightly. Being able to host the auction for Sages brought honor to his ancestors and was enough for him to brag about for 1,000 years!

Song family ancestors, it's all thanks to Master Celestial that I am who I am today and able to bring honor to you!

If not for Shen Tian, Shopkeeper Song might still be a small shopkeeper in his Sky Spirit Pavilion. He would not have been able to enter the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground nor come in contact with such powerful existences!

Such things were something the previous him would not even dare to dream!

Thank you, Master Heavens. Thank you, Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

At the side, Liu Taiyi took out a jade bamboo slip and silently started recording.

"Shopkeeper Song receives paramount honor by praising Master Celestial, becoming the host of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's auction!"

Shopkeeper Song did not stop Liu Taiyi. He was glad to see it since it was paramount honor!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's auction this time was well-prepared. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had even spread the effects of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to attract the Sages.

It was a pill that could strengthen the foundation of Sages, increase their cultivation level greatly, and had the effects of changing one's destiny!

In that instant, countless powerful cultivators yearned for it!

However, most of them were doubtful as they thought that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was just bragging about the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to increase its price.

After becoming Sages, their physique and foundation had already been determined, and almost no pills would be effective on them!

Not to mention a pill that could increase a Sage's aptitude for enlightenment was simply unheard of.

If it was not for that pill actually attracting the lightning tribulation and emitting a pill fragrance to prove that it was a supreme pill with immeasurable value, they might not even be there.

Therefore, most Sages were still doubtful regarding the pill's effects.

Also, the auction was held by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. If they did not participate, then there was a 50% chance that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader might visit them personally!

By then, if they sparred for seven days and nights, and it ended in a draw...

Since they were at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, they had to give him some face!

The various Sages gathered and waited for the auction to begin.

Shopkeeper Song wore a red robe and walked onto the platform while radiating with vigor. "Welcome, Senior Sages from all corners of the land. I am Song Fugui, and I shall be the host for Divine Firmament's auction today.

"The items that are to be auctioned today are 5 Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills, which our Divine Firmament Saint refined. They possess the miraculous effects of strengthening one's foundation and increasing one's aptitude for enlightenment!

"The starting price is 1 Sage herb or artifact!"

Shopkeeper Song was still extremely experienced. He was professional as he spoke in an orderly way even when facing the various Sages.

However, the Sages below got their bowels in an uproar.

"What!?"

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Although this pill is extraordinary, it's not worth a Sage artifact!"

Everyone doubted the price as they did not believe that the pill could permanently strengthen the foundation of Sages. It was just too unbelievable.

If its effects were just temporary, then the value of that pill would not be worth a Sage artifact at all as a Sage artifact's enhancement was permanent.

For a short while, there was actually silence for the first Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

However, a few still made a symbolic bid as they were at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. They still had to give the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader face!

"A Sage Dragon Orchid!"

"A Sage 10,000-Year Snake Fruit!"

Only a handful of people joined the auction, and the Jade Lake Sacred Leader obtained the first Sky-Mending Pill.

It was mainly because the Jade Lake Sacred Ground and Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were on good terms, so the Jade Lake Sacred Leader did not want for the auction to face awkward silence.

However, when the Jade Lake Sacred Leader held the pill in her hands, she was astounded!

The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill actually released an abundance of Spirit Qi which surged toward her body, making her emit divine light throughout.

The brilliant light was emitting dense energy and was extremely tempting. It was as if she could undergo an extraordinary transformation after eating that pill!

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader swallowed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill without hesitation. She sat down cross-legged with her eyes closed shut, and endless divine light shone from within her, making her seem heavenly.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura swayed slightly as he thought, That's the effect that I wanted!

How could Tian'er's pills be ordinary?

You foolish people, just wait and see. You'll definitely regret it!

Hehehehehe!

Chapter 416: Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, Senior Brother Likes Me!

After consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader's aura dazzled.

Divine light swirled around her. It was spectacular!

Wave after wave of robust medicinal energy circulated through her body and seeped into her limbs and bones. Her aura also grew more formidable, as if she was undergoing an exquisite transformation!

Chi!

A dazzling light shot out of the Jade Lake Sacred Leader's body and straight into the sky, causing the surrounding fabrics of space to vibrate!

Rumble!

A thundering boom rang through the skies, making everyone's hearts shudder!

Thick tribulation clouds gathered, radiating with fearsome divine energy!

The immense pressure presented by those dark clouds swirling above the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was now the focal point of everyone's attention. It was clear that after the Jade Lake's Sacred Leader consumed the pill, she had broken through and was about to undergo tribulation!

The various Sacred Leaders gazed at the Jade Lake Sacred Leader. "How is that possible? Didn't she just undergo a tribulation recently?"

It was very difficult for a Sage to raise their own cultivation level.

Without hundreds or thousands of years of hard work, it was next to impossible to make a major breakthrough.

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader had just undergone tribulation recently. How could she possibly go through another one so soon?

Is that pill really that miraculous? It can help a Sage approach tribulation!?

Even so, they couldn't help feeling worried. There were actually many other special pills that could help a Sage approach tribulation. It was not that uncommon. The key was whether one could overcome the tribulation now that it was here!

One should know that a tribulation was no laughing matter. If a practitioner was not strong enough, they might be killed by the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.

By then, not only would the practitioner fail to break through, but they would also end up blasted to death.

The tribulation aura grew increasingly strong.

The tribulation clouds covered the entire sky, filling everyone's hearts with fear.

Many Sages realized that something was not quite right. "This pill is able to trigger a double tribulation?"

If that was so, this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was indeed very miraculous.

Nonetheless, this was not a good thing for a normal Sage.

A Sage had to give their all just to handle one tribulation. And this was a double tribulation!

If one forced a double tribulation to happen but didn't have enough power to overcome it, it would be a huge bane to the Sage. It would end up becoming a death-inducing pill!

As the various Sacred Leaders tried to analyze what was happening, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader had already flown up into the air!

A seemingly endless blanket of tribulation clouds exuded a terrifying aura, saturating the entire space with countless heavenly tribulation lightning.

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader stood there in mid-air, light rays spreading out from behind her. The light rays formed three huge moons, pristine and flawless, nearly covering the entire sky!

This was the Great Moon Constitution avatar, activated to the highest levels by the Jade Lake Sacred Leader to prepare for the tribulation.

Soon after, beams of golden light gushed out of her body, enshrouding the three moons with a layer of golden shimmer. Enhanced by the golden light, the three moons trembled and radiated with dazzling divine light!

At this point, six moons emerged from the golden glow.

These six moons dazzled with an unprecedented light, which intermingled with the first three moons, giving a total of nine shining moons!

All the sacred leaders were shocked by the sight as if they had just witnessed a ghost.

Everyone knew the Jade Lake Sacred Leader had the Great Moon Constitution. They also had a good understanding of her cultivation level and battle prowess.

However, the Jade Lake's Sacred Leader had now conjured nine shining moons. It was clear that her powers had been greatly enhanced.

It should be pointed out that just a short while ago, she could only form three moons!

Nine moons hung in the sky, looking very majestic and regal.

Since ancient times, anyone who could exhibit a Nine-Moon avatar was someone who possessed exemplary talents enough to reign over the five regions.

As long as they didn't give up halfway, a prodigy of this level would at least progress to be a Sub-Thearch. If they continued to gather more fortuitous opportunities, they might become a full Thearch.

And now, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader had managed to conjure this avatar.

One couldn't help being thunderstruck!

Such a major evolution within such a short period of time... The only possible explanation was the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

Tss~

Is this pill so potent!?

The sacred leaders took deep breaths.

As well-versed as they were about the world, they had never seen such a miraculous pill that was able to cause such a major evolution in a Sage!

Miraculous! It is indeed heaven-defying!

Boom!

Lightning engulfed the Jade Lake Sacred Leader.

The skies descended into endless darkness, and a destructive aura spread across the entire area. It was spine-chilling.

Unexpectedly, pristine moonlight shone through this endless darkness.

Nine bright moons hung in the sky, clashing against the lightning tribulation.

Powerful energy waves radiated continuously from the air as if wanting to completely destroy the earth.

In the end, the power of the moon subdued everything. Even the Heavenly Tribulation grew dimmer.

Rumble!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!

The lightning magnified again as if a great calamity was about to befall.

Within a few short moments, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader underwent two consecutive lightning tribulations. Her aura underwent a major transformation as a multi-colored divine light engulfed her entire body.

Extraordinary and magnificent!

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader's cool voice rang out. "Brother Longyuan was speaking the truth. This Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill does have heaven-defying effects."

As cool as her voice was, she was unable to hide the shock in her tone.

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader was the one who had consumed the pill, so she was well aware of how potent it was!

Not only had it enabled her to undergo two consecutive tribulations, but it had also helped her constitution evolve.

Even her ability to decipher things had shot up while her overall innate potential was enhanced. Her cultivation journey would progress more smoothly from now on!

The effects of this pill were just mind-blowing!

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader's aura vibrated intensely, with multi-colored rays completely engulfing her entire body. Nobody could see her expression.

Nevertheless, the vibration of her aura was enough to show how affected she was.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled gently. "Congratulations, Jade Lake, my friend!"

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader's cultivation level and innate potential improved greatly after consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

This was exactly what the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader hoped to see!

With the Jade Lake Sacred Leader as an example, there was no need to do any more marketing. Anyone with eyes could see just how potent the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was.

As expected, those sacred leaders started clamoring!

"Damn! This pill is so fierce!"

"This is not just some simple divine pill. It is a peerless miracle pill!"

"Young man, why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and continue the auction!"

"Give me two now. No, I want five!"

"How much are these pills? I must buy them even if I use up all my family resources!"

All the Sages were in a frenzy after witnessing the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's effects.

Some of the bolder Sages couldn't resist shouting loudly, paying no heed to their image as a Sage.

This was a miracle pill that could permanently improve a Sage's foundation!

It could also increase their power and cultivation level!

No other Thearch pill was so potent!

One might be able to immediately ascend to the heavens with just one swallow!

The various sacred leaders were filled with regret now!

What was I doing just now? Why didn't I act on this just now?

It's just a few Sage herbs, right?

I have lost out big time now!

I didn't take the offer when things were cheap. How to salvage the situation now?

Those fellows will never let up!

I will definitely have to pay a high price now!

So regretful!

It was clear that the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's effects had been fully displayed.

It was a miracle pill that could drive Sages mad. Who could resist?

It was a no-brainer that the auction progressed at an extremely intense pace from then on.

Many sacred leaders were still feeling very regretful.

They had witnessed the potency of the pill, and it steeled their resolve!

They must at least buy one no matter what!

Even if they had to sacrifice everything. Even if they had to sell their own kidneys!

Shopkeeper Song was stunned. He had never seen Sages behave in this manner before.

How was this still a gathering of the most elite cultivators?

It was more like a noisy market full of haggling aunties and uncles...

Nonetheless, given Shopkeeper Song's good business instincts, he very quickly snapped out of it and put on a calm face.

"Dear Seniors, there are still four pills left in this auction! Everyone can only auction for one each!"

Anyway, the first Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was the most effective. Subsequent doses would be quite useless.

"Now, we are going to auction off the second Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!"

The atmosphere of the Divine Firmament auction instantly fired up. The bidding intensified to unprecedented levels.

Every single pill ended up being auctioned off for the price of several Sage artifacts and several elite Sage herbs.

No choice, demand exceeded supply!

Even if each person could only buy one pill, there were only so many pills!

If they didn't bid for it now, what if there were no more pills for auction in the future?

No one wanted to miss out on this miracle pill!

As a result, the bids kept increasing, pushing the price of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to new heights.

Its value soared higher than anything that had ever been in auction across all five regions!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled strongly. He was very pleased.

They had obtained many Sagel artifacts and herbs after all. It was more than enough to boost the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's power and foundation and bring it back to the top.

This auction not only brought them a large number of treasures, but it also greatly increased the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's influence and relations with others!

Regardless of whether they managed to get a pill, everyone would try their best to cozy up to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground now.

After all, every single Sage would dream of getting a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

Even the Sages who had already consumed a pill still had numerous disciples and elders back in their sacred grounds!

If they could get the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills, they would be able to significantly enhance their sacred grounds' power!

And only the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground could produce these pills!

Only the Divine Firmament Saint could refine it!

They had to seek out the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground if they wanted a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader felt very grateful.

Tian'er is indeed our Sacred Ground's lucky charm. He brought so much good fortune to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

With Tian'er around, our sacred ground is destined to rise!

Eunuch Gui was Shen Tian's closest confidante, and he was standing beside him now, observing this grand auction.

Watching how those sacred leaders were proactively offering dozens of sage herbs as their bids, Eunuch Gui felt a strong sense of pride.

The 13th Prince had once been an unlucky jinx avoided by everyone in the Country of Fire.

Now, he had turned into the latest celebrity across the five regions. Even a Sage had to hold him in high regard.

He was able to easily refine this Chaotic Sky-Mending pill, which everyone was madly trying to obtain.

His Highness is so outstanding now. Concubine Lan must be smiling down from the heavens.

Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was shocked as she observed the auction.

As the premier alchemist of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, she had always supplied the other sacred grounds with pills. She had also auctioned off her own pills previously.

But all the other auctions she had previously participated in were nothing compared to this auction.

Is there any other pill that can make Sages behave so crazily? Willing to go bankrupt just to get one?

Honestly speaking, this pill was able to grant you the ability to become a Sub-Thearch. Even those Thearch pills mentioned in the legends paled in comparison!

It was entirely reasonable that this kind of pill was able to elicit such a response from the Sages.

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. "Senior Brother, didn't Tian'er hand over 10 Chaotic Sky-Mending pills? Why don't we ride on this fervor and sell them all now?"

If they offered all of them now, they would definitely be able to obtain sky-high prices. It would be a windfall for their sacred ground.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. "We are only auctioning five Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills to maximize their value."

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was taken aback. "Maximize their value?"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader replied calmly, "Sometimes, treasures become more valuable when their numbers are limited.

"After witnessing the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's powerful effects, they felt a sense of urgency, knowing that there were only four left.

"There are quite a number of Sages present now. Who among them doesn't want a pill?

"Only by giving them a sense of urgency would these people bear to offer up all their resources to bid for the pill. The more bidders there are, the higher the price will go, and the more desperate they will become.

"If they don't give their all, they will not get a single pill.

"Under such circumstances, who would dare to hold back and wait for a good price? If you hesitate just a little, the auction will be over in the blink of an eye.

"If there are numerous pills on auction, these people will not feel the same sense of urgency.

"Even if they don't get this pill, they can just wait for the next one. Anyway, there are still nine of them.

"If that happens, we will not be able to maximize their value."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's tone was mild as he explained, but Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was enraptured.

Who could have guessed that there would be such deep concepts regarding auctions? Senior Brother is indeed very smart!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at those Sages. "We will auction off the rest of the pills in a few months.

"After the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills' reputation spreads, it will attract many more Sages to come and bid for them.

"After all, only the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has these miracle pills. And there are only a few of those pills left.

"By then, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills' price will increase even further. This is how the value of those pills can be maximized!"

Standing by the side, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus couldn't resist muttering to himself, "Junior Brother, you are really sly and calculating!"

Who said that after cultivating the Heavenly Dao Sutra, one would cut off all emotions and desires and be rid of all material wants?

This fellow's business acumen is even more devious than those crafty businessmen!

Those pitiful sacred leaders and elders are all being led by the nose by this fellow.

I think that now, they are willing to sell even their own underwear for a pill!

On the other hand, Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was full of adoration and worship after listening to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's explanation.

"Senior Brother has thought of everything. This is a good lesson for me!"

Formidable!

Truly formidable!

This is why Senior Brother is the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!

The gulf between Senior Brother Longyuan and the rest is just too wide!

No wonder he is the man my heart desires. He is so splendid!

He even glows all over!

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader took out a Chaotic Sky-Mending pill and handed it to Heavenly Venerable White Lotus. "Junior Sister White Lotus, this pill is for you."

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus was stunned. She hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Sacred Leader, this pill is too valuable. I cannot accept it."

The value of the Chaotic Sky-Mending pill was clear for all to see. Even sages were going crazy for them.

One pill could fetch several sage-level artifacts and dozens of sage herbs.

'This is such a valuable pill, and Senior Brother Sacred Leader is giving it to me. If he didn't like me, he wouldn't...'

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' face subconsciously turned red.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said calmly, "Junior Sister, this pill is a gift from the sacred ground to you. I will compensate Tian'er at market price.

"If Junior Sister can successfully become an Alchemist Sage, your contribution to the sect will be far higher than just a few Sage artifacts.

"Please don't reject this. This is your reward for your many years of hard work for the sacred ground."

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' blush deepened as she said resolutely, "I will not let you down!"

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus felt extremely moved and thrilled as she held the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

I think Senior Brother is not just thinking about helping me become an Alchemist Sage and contribute to the sect!

If chaos is imminent in this world, Senior Brother must be very worried about my safety. This is why he gave me the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to improve my power.

So that I can protect myself during times of unrest!

Yeap, I am sure of it!

Looks like Senior Brother really cares about me...

Hehehe, I will continue refining pills after I return today!

I must let Senior Brother know that I am the strongest and most compatible woman for him!'

Yeap, there are also Yunxi and Yunting. I must treat those two better from now on. After all, it is tough being a stepmother. We mustn't have any misunderstandings.'

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader gave a slight nod before turning to leave.

The auction was ending soon, and he had to go settle the final arrangements and announcement.

Gazing at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's back profile, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus couldn't help pursing his lips. "I wasted so much breath and didn't even get a single pill. Yet, this fellow gave one to his old flame just like that!

"Abusing one's status for personal gain. Choosing women over one's friends. Beast!"

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus blushed a deep red. "Ahem, First Senior Brother, please don't spout nonsense."

But First Senior Brother's words sound pretty accurate!

Senior Brother Longyuan does favor me!

Oh no, my face suddenly feels so hot!

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus looked at Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and said teasingly, "Junior Sister White Lotus, I am not spouting nonsense. You know it in your heart too. If you want to have this fellow, you must be more proactive and act quickly.

"Otherwise, after he progresses another level on the Heavenly Dao Sutra, and no longer reacts to anything... Junior Sister, you will be like a grass widow then."

Every elder in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground knew of Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' love for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. After all, they were considered childhood sweethearts.

When they were young, many elders thought they would become a pair for sure.

Unfortunately, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Purple Lotus got together and even gave birth to two children.

Only one person could fill the position of his wife. He could not possibly have two. There was nothing else that could be done.

Gradually, people started to forget about Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' heartache.

But 18 years ago, Heavenly Venerable Purple Lotus fell at the hands of the Thousand Illusion Evil King during an ambush of the Evil Spirit Sect.

The Thousand Illusion Evil King was a sub-sect master of the Evil Spirit Sect and was powerful beyond belief.

At that time, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had not been strong enough to retaliate and avenge Heavenly Venerable Purple Lotus.

This had given him the resolve to improve his power no matter what.

Thereafter, he had poured his soul into cultivating the Heavenly Dao Sutra and progressed to very high levels. The higher he went, the more emotionless he became.

This was why the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had yet to cultivate the Heavenly Dao Sutra to the highest level.

If he did, he would truly have to cut all emotional ties and desires.

By then, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader would have no feelings at all.

Yeap, whether it was mental, emotional, or physical, he would have no reactions at all!

When that happened, even if Heavenly Venerable White Lotus married the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and became his wife...

She would not be blissful!

Chapter 417: Isn't It Better If I Consume The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill Myself?

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked worried after hearing Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's words.

No reaction... Hiss, that was scary!

What Eldest Senior Brother said seems to make sense.

Should I take the initiative?

What if Senior Brother really doesn't react then...

No, I have to hurry!

Mmm?

There seems to be something wrong!

How did Eldest Senior Brother get involved in this matter?

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was still instigating at the side. "Junior Sister, don't be a coward.

"If you like him, then take him by force. Who cares if he refuses?

"It's not as if he will use the Mixed Divine Lightning to strike you? Since he won't do that, you have nothing to be afraid of!"

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus revealed an embarrassed expression. "Senior Brother, if you aren't afraid, why did you reject Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance?

"Junior Sister Scarlet Dance has been waiting for you for so many years. She has long since expressed her intentions, so why are you still so indifferent toward her?"

The marriage fate between Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was also intertwined.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance had always had feelings for him, but Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus didn't have any for her.

This also prevented the two of them from getting together.

"Cough... Little girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus looked embarrassed. "With my talent, I'm destined to ascend to the Celestial World. 'Scarlet Dance's talent is too low. She doesn't even have a chance to ascend. How can she be worthy of me?"

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus wasn't stupid. How could he not know of Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's feelings for him?

However, the gap between the two of them was indeed a little big.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus didn't dare to make a move.

Since ancient times, long-distance relationships had always been a tragedy, let alone otherworldly relationships.

At that time, he would not be able to come down from the Celestial World at all. Wouldn't that mean that he would cause her to become a grass widow?

She would either become a grass widow or have an affair with another man. In short, long-distance relationships were not a good idea.

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus chuckled. "Eldest Senior Brother can think of a way to get Junior Sister Scarlet Dance a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. This pill is enough to change Junior Sister Scarlet Dance's potential. It shouldn't be difficult for her to ascend to the Celestial World after she has taken this pill."

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus pursed his lips and sneered. "If I really had a Chaotic Sky-Mending pill, wouldn't I enjoy it myself? How could I share it with others?"

At that moment, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance appeared in front of them.

Joy appeared in her eyes when she saw Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and even her footsteps became much more cheerful. She didn't look like a Heavenly Venerable expert at all. She looked like a young girl who had just experienced her first awakening of love!

"Senior Brother Chu He! Senior Sister White Lotus! I've finally found you guys."

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's lips twitched. "Why is she here?

"Cough, cough... Junior Sister, it's getting late.

"I haven't aired my blanket. I'll take my leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished on the spot.

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, "..."

"Senior Brother Chu He, where are you going?"

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance rushed to Heavenly Venerable White Lotus' side, but all she saw was Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' back.

She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. "Senior Sister White Lotus, why did Senior Brother Chu He leave when he saw me? Does he hate me? Or did I do something wrong?"

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus said helplessly, "Don't think too much, Junior Sister Scarlet Dance. Eldest Senior Brother might have things to do."

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus sighed as she watched Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus leave.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus could only resolve this matter. No one else could interfere.

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus felt helpless in her heart too.

She was the same!

At night, the sky gradually darkened.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance was cultivating in her room, but she would stop from time to time as she was unable to calm down.

After a long time, she couldn't help but sigh. "What did I do wrong? Why is Senior Brother Chu He unwilling to pay attention to me?"

She had not only come to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to participate in the inauguration ceremony for the Divine Firmament Saint.

More importantly, she wanted to see Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus!

However, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had ignored her, making her feel very disappointed.

At that moment, something was thrown in from outside the window.

"Who?"

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance hurriedly rushed out of the room.

However, there was no one outside.

"Strange, who would come here in the middle of the night?"

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance shook her head. Although she didn't know who it was, she didn't really care. After all, this was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. The security measures here were perfect.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance returned to her room and saw a white jade bottle on the floor.

Obviously, the fellow who had been outside her room had thrown it.

"What is it?"

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance curiously opened the bottle cap, and a sweet fragrance immediately wafted out.

As this pill fragrance spread out, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance felt her mind become incomparably clear.

In the past, many areas were not very clear during cultivating. Now, she was suddenly enlightened.

Just by smelling the pill fragrance, she felt as though she was meditating on the Dao.

"This is... the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!"

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance's heart couldn't help but tremble as she looked at the round golden pill in the bottle.

Her voice was trembling and filled with excitement. "It must be Senior Brother Chu He! Senior Brother Chu He definitely likes me!"

Other than Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, she couldn't think of anyone else that would be willing to give her a supreme pill like the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance blushed, her heart filled with warmth.

On the other side, in the Sacred Master Palace, a certain someone looked at the 500-year contract in his hands as his lightning and heavenly aura rippled crazily.

Hehehehehehe!

Rumble!

The night was dark, and there was no starlight.

Thunder boomed outside the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground as lightning flashed.

There were lightning bolts and tribulation clouds gathering every few hundred miles as far as the eye could see.

It was clear that Sages were undergoing tribulation, and there was more than one Sage doing so. Many of them were undergoing tribulation at the same time.

These were all the Sages who had won the bid for the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

They couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts and immediately consumed the pills.

Instantly, the lightning-attribute Spirit Qi in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground that spanned hundreds of kilometers became much richer.

Even in the Divine Firmament Small World, the cultivation speed of many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core disciples increased exponentially!

Upon seeing this scene, Yue Yunde's eyes shone with golden light. "Such rich lightning-attribute spiritual energy, how much Mixed Divine Lightning can it condense!?"

Yes, Yue Yunde was tempted!

The Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Sutra could use lightning-attribute Spirit Qi to condense the Mixed Divine Lightning.

The Heavenly Tribulation was a great supplement to the Divine Firmament Sacre Ground's true inheritance.

Thus, Yue Yunde simply ran to the side of those Sages to enjoy the lightning tribulation.

It wasn't just him, even the other elite disciples were egged on by Yue Yunde, and they all ran over to freeload on the lightning tribulations.

In an instant, a strange scene appeared in front of the various large factions.

At the center of the lightning tribulation, the Sages fought the lightning tribulation with all their might, unleashing boundless divine might.

The periphery of the tribulation was filled with Divine Firmament disciples. They were constantly rubbing against the lightning tribulation to condense the Mixed Divine Lightning.

The two were extremely harmonious, not interfering with each other!

This also made many Divine Firmament elders sigh.

"Yue Yunde is truly clever!"

"He is simply not wasting any bit of resources. Those Sages must be feeling helpless at this sight too!"

However, the Sages did not reject the Divine Firmament disciples' leeching off their tribulation lightning.

The reason they could cross the tribulation was that they had relied on the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. This supreme pill had allowed the physique of all the Sages to undergo a metamorphosis, allowing them to pass two stages of tribulation on average.

This also made them deeply feel how powerful the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was.

All of this was thanks to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

Therefore, they decided to do them a favor and let them leech off the lightning. After all, they might need to seek help from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground again in the future.

There was no need to fuss over such a small matter.

Which sacred ground didn't have a Sage?

Which Sage didn't want a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill?

It was extremely difficult to raise one's cultivation level during the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and a small increase in one's cultivation would easily take a thousand years.

Many Sages would reach a bottleneck at some point of their cultivation, and they might not be able to advance even after thousands of years. Even when their lifespan was exhausted, they would be unable to break through the bottleneck, thus reaching the end of their life.

However, this kind of predicament would be different with the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

Once a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill entered one's stomach, one could easily overcome even the lightning tribulation!

As long as a Sage passed the lightning tribulation, their lifespan would greatly increase.

It was impossible for those old seniors that had lived for many years and were nearing the end of their lifespans to not be moved.

If they used the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to break through their bottleneck and increase their lifespan, they might even be able to take another step forward. If they were lucky, they might even ascend.

After all, the greatest effect of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was to change one's physique and comprehension talent!

This was enough to make everything impossible become possible!

Under such circumstances, no one was willing to offend the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

Since even the Sages didn't mind themselves, naturally, no one stopped Yue Yunde and the others from leeching the lightning. Hence, Yue Yunde went from one tribulation to the other without much trouble. He was having a great time!

On the other side, Qin Yundi was also freeloading. It was just that his method of patronage was completely different from Yue Yunde's.

Yue Yunde and the Divine Firmament disciples were using the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra to condense the Mixed Divine Lightning.

On the other hand, Qin Yundi had fully activated his mecha and linked it together with the array formation to absorb the power of the tribulation lightning. This also allowed Qin Yundi to absorb the tribulation lightning much faster than the other Divine Firmament disciples.

"What the f*ck? You're a freeloader too, but how can you be faster than me? I'm telling you, a real man can't be this fast!"

Yue Yunde was stunned.

Big Fatty Yunde's face was filled with envy and jealousy.

If I were to obtain this array formation, wouldn't my cultivation immediately skyrocket?

Soon, Yue Yunde set up a formation around him.

In an instant, a surge of lightning-attribute Spirit Qi gathered toward him. This caused Yue Yunde's face to be filled with excitement as he prepared to make a big move!

Soon, his expression changed, and he broke out in cold sweat.

This was because not only did this array formation draw the nearby lightning-attribute Spirit Qi over, but it also brought along a portion of the tribulation lightning.

Although this was tribulation lightning that leaked out as the Sages were undergoing their tribulation, so its power was not as terrifying as the true tribulation, it still carried boundless might, far beyond what a Heavenly Venerable could withstand.

Qin Yundi didn't really care. He used his mecha to absorb the tribulation lightning and connected it with the array formation.

With the mecha sharing the burden, he was able to withstand the tribulation lightning.

However, Yue Yunde was different. With his body as the foundation, the tribulation lightning struck down on his head!

"What the heck? Is there a mistake? Why am I being struck by lightning?

"No!"

Boom!

Rumble!

Kacha! Kacha!

The tribulation lightning instantly enveloped Yue Yunde's body.

After a while, Yue Yunde finally broke free from the tribulation lightning. His entire body was charred black, and his large Taoist robe was in tatters. His hair was completely standing on its end.

White smoke was still coming out of his mouth, and his appearance was miserable. He had no idea how many times the tribulation lightning had struck him.

Fortunately, under his Taoist robe, he was still wearing a precious artifact with extremely strong defensive power. Only with it could he barely withstand the power of the tribulation lightning.

Even so, Yue Yunde could not help but wail.

"F*ck! What a miscalculation! If not for my strong foundation, I would have become a roasted suckling pig!"

Tssss~

As if affected by his injuries, Yue Yunde gnashed his teeth in pain.

"F*ck! I won't freeload anymore! A freeloader will easily get struck by lightning!"

The next day, the inauguration ceremony was held on Saint Mountain as scheduled.

"The Saint Inauguration Ceremony has officially begun."

The loud voice attracted the attention of countless people.

A melody played as petals drifted in the air. Shen Tian was clad in his Longyuan Divine Armor, and he slowly walked forward.

His handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament made him seem like an immortal that had descended to the mortal world. He instantly became the center of attention.

Countless gazes gathered on him, their eyes filled with fervor.

This was especially true for the Heavenly Venerables and the Sages. Their gazes were especially fervent.

What had happened last night had made everyone realize how terrifying the effects of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill were.

As the person who refined the Chaotic Sky-Mending pill, all the Sages present had no choice but to take Shen Tian seriously!

One had to know that last night, not only did the four Sages who had bid for the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill transcended their heavenly tribulations, but even Heavenly Venerable White Lotus and Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance had become Sages!

This caused the other Sages to be unable to help but be tempted!

If they could build a good relationship with Shen Tian, wouldn't they be able to obtain a few Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill using their relationship?

At that time, their loved ones and Dao companions might even become Sages too!

The auction yesterday had left everyone wanting more. After all, there were so many Sages present, but only four Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills remained. They couldn't help but protest.

Thankfully, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader appeared and said that the remaining Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills would be auctioned in three months. Only then did the Sages calm down slightly.

However, many people still couldn't hold back and tried to sound him out.

Some people even wanted to use their connections to ask Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to appear, hoping to ask him to help them buy a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill from Shen Tian.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was already in a bad mood, so he kept muttering, "500 years, 500 years! How am I possessed? That's 500 years!"

At this moment, someone suddenly came to ask for his help, and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' eyes lit up.

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus pretended to be deep in thought. "It's not impossible for me to do it. With this old Taoist stepping out, Tian'er still has to give some face. But you all know the rules. I can't guarantee it will work!"

The Sages all had troubled looks on their faces when they heard this. After all, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' name was really... too smelly.

It was obvious that the other party was trying to scam him for some benefits.

However, some people couldn't hold back and gave their treasures to Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. After all, the Sky-Mending Pill was too tempting, and no one could refuse it.

Then, cough, cough, there was no 'then'!

Everything went deep into his pocket.

Those pitiful fellows didn't even see Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' shadow!

In the end, it was the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader who came forward to resolve the matter.

This made Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's reputation even worse.

After the inauguration ceremony, the banquet began as per normal.

Shen Tian stood beside the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and asked. "Master, how was the auction for the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills yesterday?"

Shen Tian was puzzled. He had realized that everyone was staring at him.

What's going on?

Although I admit that I am handsome, there is no need to pay so much attention to me. Could it be that the auction for the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills did not go well?' As a result, these people were not satisfied?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader body shimmered with heavenly aura on the surface as he said calmly, "Tian'er, yesterday's auction went very smoothly. The treasures obtained from auctioning off the Sky-Mending Pills are all yours. This can be considered a congratulatory gift from the sacred ground."

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader voice was not loud, but the Sages present could hear him clearly.

This also made them take a deep breath.

Pfffttt~

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was truly generous!

One had to know that the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's value was unimaginable now because the old Sages had used the treasures they had saved up for thousands of years to exchange for it!

Yet, they were all given to the Divine Firmament Saint just like that!

Rich!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was indeed generous.

Some Sages were overwhelmed with thoughts.

If I have a good relationship with the Divine Firmament Saint, won't it be possible for me to obtain the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill first?'

Although the auction was held by the sacred ground, the alchemist was the Divine Firmament Saint. No matter what, one would be able to enjoy the benefits if they were in a favorable position.

Many Sages were extremely tempted. It was better to act than to be tempted!

Soon, a Sage came forward with a pained expression and took out a small cauldron. "You are indeed a heaven-gifted genius, Divine Firmament Saint. To have such achievements at such a young age, you are truly extraordinary!

"This is a Sage artifact, the Molten Fire Cauldron. It contains a 10,000-Year Earthcore Fire, and it is extremely beneficial to pill refinement. It is the cauldron used by Pill Sage Molten Fire 10,000 years ago.

"Today, I shall gift this cauldron to you as a congratulatory gift and also as a form of goodwill!"

The Sage had carefully chosen this gift. It wasn't just to win Shen Tian's favor. He also hoped that Shen Tian would consider him first after refining the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill in the future!

When the Sages saw this, they couldn't help but curse him for being cunning.

A Sage was actually giving a Sage artifact away for a mere pill?

Scum, I'm not going to do that!

Soon after, however, the exact people who said so also came forward with congratulatory gifts.

These congratulatory gifts were all top-grade Sage herbs and artifacts.

These Sages all wanted to form good karma with Shen Tian—a mere Sage artifact was nothing compared to befriending Shen Tian. They were all full of passion!

Looking at the huge pile of artifacts in front of him, Shen Tian couldn't help but reveal a dumbstruck expression.

When did Sage artifacts become so worthless?

Giving one basket of them in one go? One can't help but suspect that they are all fake.

These seniors are really too much. Is it really good for them to be so polite?

Giving out so much money in one go makes it easy for people to learn bad things.

Should I accept it or should I accept it?

Or should I accept it?

Chapter 418: I'm Really Smart!

Apart from the various sacred grounds, the grotto-heavens affiliated with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had also come for the inauguration ceremony.

At this time, Shen Tian saw a group of people from Grand White Grotto-Heaven among the celebrating group.

He had many old acquaintances amongst those in the group from the Grand White Grotto-Heaven.

Shen Tian smiled faintly and prepared to greet them.

"The Divine Firmament Saint is here!"

"The Divine Firmament Saint is so handsome. No, I'm infatuated with him now~"

"I thought Senior Brother Changge was already handsome enough, but compared to the Divine Firmament Saint, I realized that he's nothing."

"Oh, I shouldn't have such thoughts. How can Senior Brother Changge's appearance be comparable to that of the Saint's?"

Seeing Shen Tian walk over, the Grand White disciples, especially the female disciples, were extremely excited.

Everyone's faces were flushed. After all, Shen Tian's current reputation wasn't inferior to the Sages. In some aspects, he even surpassed them. This was especially so when it came to his looks. There was no doubt that he was one of the most handsome men.

A few people even gave Shen Tian the title of Eastern Wilderness's most handsome man.

A figure suddenly shot out of Grand White Grotto-Heaven's group and shouted, "Big Brother Shen Tian!"

This figure was petite and delicate. She had a flower pot on her head, and there was a green gourd vine hanging down from the pot. It looked like it was tied with a braid of flaxen vines.

A cluster of fur swaying in the wind was around the flower pot, holding the flower pot in place.

That's right—this girl was Li Lian'er!

She threw herself into Shen Tian's arms and mumbled, "Brother Shen Tian, I missed you so much!"

Shen Tian stroked Li Lian'er's hair and smiled. "Long time no see, Lian'er!"

"Big Brother Shen Tian, why haven't you come to visit Lian'er for so long?"

Li Lian'er hugged Shen Tian tightly and refused to let go.

Shen Tian was helpless and was about to say something when he felt a chill run down his spine. An extremely piercingly cold strand of sword qi shot into the sky and pointed toward the direction of Shen Tian. It was extremely icy cold and laced with killing intent!

Shen Tian became vigilant as he turned around.

Could it be that Lian'er's admirer was jealous of this Saint?

Such a cliché, boring, and awkward plot. How unskilled was the author to write such a story!?

Shen Tian's face darkened.

His gaze landed on a burly middle-aged man with a sword on his back.

He stared fixedly at Shen Tian, his sharp sword eyes overflowing with sword qi as if he wanted to swing the longsword in his hand to kill Shen Tian.

Yes, this fellow was Li Lian'er's father—Li Canglan.

Shen Tian blushed with shame. He hadn't expected the famed daughter-con Sword Venerable Long River to come too, and worse still, witness what was happening!

Fortunately, someone stepped forward and pulled Li Lian'er away, interrupting Sword Venerable Long River from raging on the spot!

The person who pulled Li Lian'er was the Sword Supremacy Lotus, Li Changge.

It was just that at this time, Li Changge had already successfully shattered his core to form his Nascent Soul and was now titled Sword Supremacy Lotus.

Li Changge pulled Li Lian'er away with a helpless expression. "Little sister, can you be more reserved? Father is still watching from behind!"

Li Lian'er couldn't help but struggle and throw a fit. "Brother, let go of me. You are annoying! Don't stop me. I'm going to look for Shen Lang!"

Li Changge, "..."

He looked at Shen Tian with a helpless expression and explained, "Don't misunderstand, brother-in-la—"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Changge felt a chill run down his spine!

Oh no! This stupid mouth of mine has said the wrong thing! Father is still here!

Li Changge's lips could not help but twitch. He hurriedly changed the topic.

"Cough, cough, Brother Shen is indeed extraordinary. I didn't expect Brother Shen's cultivation to improve so quickly after our last meeting!"

Li Changge was at a loss of words. The last time they had met, Shen Tian had still been a weakling who needed his protection.

How long had it been?

Shen Tian's current strength was enough to contend against a Sage!

Forget about the rising prodigies—there were so many top geniuses in the five regions—Shen Tian wasn't just a rising star but a heavenly prodigy!

Compared to him, what have I been doing all these years? Cultivate? Have I been cultivating loneliness?

Even though he was also considered a genius, he could not help but doubt his life.

Shen Tian smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and Brother Chang Ge's cultivation has also improved greatly. Congratulations!

"I believe that even in the Nascent Soul stage, there are very few people who can compete with Brother Changge!"

Shen Tian could sense that Li Changge had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and an extremely peculiar sword intent was hidden in his body. This kind of sword intent was different from Sword Venerable Long River. It was a sword intent unique to Li Changge.

If Li Changge continued to cultivate this sword intent, he might be able to create his own Sword Dao!

Li Changge's talent was also extraordinary from the looks of it, not weaker than those peak prodigies.

Li Changge pursed his lips and muttered softly, "Even so, I am not as perverted as you."

Li Lian'er said, "Brother, don't think that no one can hear you just because you're whispering. You must be jealous of Big Brother Shen Tian and speaking ill of him! How impudent. No wonder you don't have a Dao companion."

Shen Tian, "..."

Li Changge, "?"

Aiyo, Li Changge suddenly felt his liver hurt!

Whose sister was this? He must have brought along the wrong girl!

How could she not be on his side?

My heart hurts, my dear sister!

"Thirteenth Brother, long time no see!"

Shen Ao also walked over. He was a disciple of the Grand White Grotto-Heaven, and his status was not low.

Moreover, this was Shen Tian's inauguration ceremony, so how could he, his older brother, not come?

Shen Tian's eyes brightened. "Sixth Brother!"

When the two brothers met, they naturally exchanged greetings.

Shen Tian had a good impression of Shen Ao.

After all, before Shen Tian had become a BUG-like existence, Shen Ao had been treating him well.

There was some brotherly affection between the two brothers.

After all, on the path of cultivation, most people were lonely.

Many peerless experts desperately exhausted everything they had to finally walk the path of invincibility.

However, when they turned around, they would realize that there was no one beside them.

This was the helplessness of an expert and also a situation that was difficult to change.

When he met Shen Ao, who was related to him by blood, Shen Tian couldn't help but have the urge to lend him a helping hand.

He took out a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill and passed it to Shen Ao. "Sixth Brother, this is for you!"

Shen Ao's body trembled as he looked at the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill in his hand. He reflexively reached out his hand but forcefully withdrew it.

Shen Ao coughed lightly. "Thirteenth Brother, this pill is too precious. How can I accept it?"

The Sages of the various large factions were almost going crazy over the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. They didn't hesitate to use all their wealth to exchange for just one pill!

In the end, the auction had ended regretfully because the number of Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills had been insufficient!

But now, Shen Tian actually gave him the pill that made even Sages crazy for nothing.

How could Shen Ao not be moved?

"Thirteenth Brother, this supreme pill should be exchanged for a Sage artifact to improve your strength. Doing so will also better guarantee your safety!"

Even though he was drooling over the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, Shen Ao still refused.

Thirteenth Brother treats me so well. How can I not consider for him and accept this pill just like that?

By the side, Supremacy Zi Yang's lips twitched as he forced out an ugly smile.

Naturally, his heart was in pain.

What a dumb, dumb disciple!

My silly disciple, how could you refuse it?

That's the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

Just one!

Just one of them would save you at least a few thousand years of hard work!

Supremacy Zi Yang violently trembled, his beard nearly exploding from anger!

Shen Tian was slightly stunned. He did not expect his Sixth Brother to be so polite!

How touching!

Shen Tian patted Shen Ao's shoulder.

"Sixth Brother, accept it. I still have a few of these. Besides, I don't lack any artifacts!"

With that said, Shen Tian took out the basket of artifacts that the Sages had just given him.

"Sixth Brother, if you see anything you like, you can pick them."

With so many supreme-grade Sage artifacts, there weren't many artifacts that could attract Shen Tian anymore.

As for the rest, they could only be used for transactions or as gifts.

It was a gift anyway, so why not give one to Shen Ao?

After all, they were blood-related brothers!

Looking at the basket of artifacts, Shen Ao was even more confused.

What!?

Why do I feel like I'm useless when compared to Thirteenth Brother!?

Putting aside the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, only a freak like Shen Tian could refine it.

One had to know that even a supreme Spirit artifact required a master to work hard for hundreds of years.

And what Shen Tian had casually taken out were all Sage artifacts, a basket full of them!

Pick anything!!!

Who could resist such temptation!

They were both princes of the Country of Fire, so why was the difference so great!?

For some reason, this sentence appeared in Shen Ao's mind!

Shen Tian's eyes shifted as he fished out two more Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills and handed them to Li Lian'er and Li Changge, respectively.

"Lian'er, Brother Changge, these two Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills are for you!"

Li Lian'er had a very special status in Shen Tian's heart. She was Shen Tian's 'first girl'.

If not for Li Lian'er backing him up, things would definitely not have gone so smoothly when he swindled people in the Myriad Spirit Garden.

On the other hand, Li Changge had saved Shen Tian before, and the token he had gifted him had helped Shen Tian resolve many dangers!

Shen Tian wasn't an ungrateful person and naturally wouldn't forget them.

Li Changge's heart shook violently as he held the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill in his hand. He never expected such a good thing to happen to him.

"Brother-in-law, how can I accept this? How could I, Li Changge, be the kind of person to receive a reward without doing anything?"

After Li Changge received the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, he immediately forgot about his father's murderous gaze behind him.

He put his arm around Shen Tian's shoulder. "Brother-in-law, I've long since seen how extraordinary you are. You're definitely worthy of my sister!"

Shen Tian, "..."

Shen Tian was exasperated.

Isn't it just a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill? Is there a need to make such a fuss?

Li Lian'er blushed. "Brother, what are you saying? How embarrassing!"

Following that, Li Lian'er lightly stepped forward and tiptoed, her red lips lightly touching Shen Tian's face.

"Thank you, Big Brother Shen Tian!" Li Lian'er murmured softly, and her face flushed as she felt extremely touched.

Lian'er was right!

Brother Shen Tian really likes Lian'er!

Sob, so happy!

The crowd: "..."

Shen Tian, "???"

What!?

As soon as I was distracted, I was taken advantage of?

It's one thing to be taken advantage of, but to suffer a loss is another!

The main point is that there is a daughter-con here!

Aren't you afraid of someone going berserk?

As expected, Shen Tian glanced at Sword Venerable Long River and realized that the old man's face was darker than charcoal.

An earth-shattering sword intent burst forth from Li Canglan's body. It was as if a tempestuous wave was crashing down, rushing into the heavens, and tearing the surrounding space into pieces.

The divine sword behind him shook violently as it emanated shocking divine might!

Clang!

The divine sword was unsheathed with a loud rumble and shot out a dazzling sword gleam aggressively!

Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan, finally couldn't take it anymore. He raised his sword and was about to attack!

Shen Tian was so shocked that he took out the Ocean Divine Hammer and stared intently at the irritable old man.

Who knew if this old fellow would really give him two strikes when he was enraged? It was the scariest thing to be against a daughter-con!

Fortunately, the Grand White Grotto-Heaven Leader caught Li Canglan in time and stopped him. "Senior Brother, calm down, calm down!"

Sword Venerable Long River ground his teeth. "How can I calm down? Junior Brother, let go of me. Let me hack him to death!"

The Grand White Grotto-Heaven Leader said helplessly, "Senior Brother, even if we can't calm down, we have to! He has given us three Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills. That is an entire three stalks of immortal seedlings!

"Changge and Lian'er have both benefited from it. It's really not appropriate for you to cut him now!

"Furthermore, the Divine Firmament Saint can even send a True Sage flying. Even if you were to attack him, your old body might not be able to withstand a few of his strikes!"

The Grand White Grotto-Heaven Leader tried his best to persuade him. He was really afraid that the old fellow would charge forward. He wasn't afraid of anything happening to Shen Tian, but he was afraid that Li Canglan would get beaten up on impulse!

Ignoring the fact that Li Canglan could not withstand the hammer, they were standing on the land of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Experts from all over the world attended the Divine Firmament Saint's inauguration ceremony. If Li Canglan attacked Shen Tian and couldn't defeat him, his reputation would be completely ruined!

Li Canglan's body froze, and he finally put down the sword in his hand. He looked at Shen Tian with a pained expression before turning to look at the large hammer in his hand. He couldn't help but sigh.

"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!"

Then, Li Canglan turned around and left, his figure looking lonely!

That was his own daughter!

Yet, just like that, she has abandoned him for another boy.

Li Changge patted Shen Tian's shoulder. "Don't worry, Brother-in-law. With you around, I'll definitely make Father accept you!"

Li Changge also promised to help Shen Tian deal with Li Canglan!

At that moment, an indifferent voice sounded behind him. "Changge, double your training when you get back! Swing your sword 100,000 times a day. You are not allowed to leave the house until you break through to the Soul Formation stage!"

Li Changge's mouth twitched, and his smile slowly froze.

F*ck, he had messed up.

He had just broken his core and formed his Nascent Soul not too long ago. He did not know how long he would need before he could break through to the Soul Formation stage.

What the heck? How long has this been going on!?

Shen Ao looked at Li Changge with a face full of sympathy and said with a smile, "Senior Brother, why are you doing this? You actually dared to be complacent in front of Martial Uncle Canglan!"

Shen Ao knew very well how... satisfying Li Canglan's training was!

Sigh, he was really happy to see his Senior Brother being trained!

"And Shen Ao, you will also undergo special training."

However, Li Canglan's following words made the smile on Shen Ao's face quickly freeze.

Thirteenth Brother, save me!

On the other side, Wang Shenxu and Qi Shaoxuan were preparing to congratulate Shen Tian.

Wang Shenxu's eyes widened when he saw Shen Tian delivering the pills.

Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill! I want the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

Wang Shenxu suddenly jumped out and ran to Shen Tian's side, his face full of admiration. "The first time I saw Brother Shen, I felt that Brother Shen was extremely talented and was destined to become a dragon amongst men.

"Given Brother Shen's talent, you will definitely reach the peak of the five regions and become much stronger than someone with the aptitude of a Thearch!

"In my opinion, Brother Shen not only has the talents of a Thearch, but you also have the talents of an Immortal King and an Immortal Emperor!"

In order to hug this thick thigh, I will definitely brag about Brother Shen even if I have to kneel on the ground!

Shen Tian, "..."

Brother Wang, does your sacred leader know that you are so good at bootlicking?

On the other side, the Great Void Sacred Leader's face was as black as Li Canglan's.

What an embarrassing thing! Don't you know that you are the Saint of the Great Void Sacred Ground?

Don't you know that you represent the sacred ground?

I'll kill you when we get back!

How embarrassing!

The Great Void Sacred Leader was so angry that his entire body was trembling, and his heart was cold.

For a mere Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, this sinful disciple did not even want the dignity of the Saint of the Great Void Sacred Ground?

Moreover, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill is a supreme treasure. Do you think that just because you said a few flattering words, others will give it to you? Can you use your brain!?

At this time, Shen Tian helplessly said, "Alright, Brother Wang, this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill is for you."

How could he not know what Wang Shenxu was planning?

However, this guy did not even prepare a draft of his bragging.

You're making me feel a little weak!

If this guy continued to brag, what if others really believed him?

At that time, all the evil gods would wield their sabers and come to cut him down since he was someone with the potential to become an Immortal Emperor. At that time, wouldn't he be done for?

No, no, he had to make this guy shut up!

Shen Tian directly used the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to stop Wang Shenxu from continuing.

However, giving the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to Wang Shenxu was not a loss. After all, this guy was a Son of Providence with a purple halo above his head. If he could raise his strength, he could still make use of a few great opportunities in the future!

Not only did he get rid of this annoying fellow, but he also had a sheep to fleece!

The best of both worlds!

As expected of me!

I am truly too quick-witted!

The Great Void Sacred Leader was dumbfounded upon seeing his disciple obtain a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill after bootlicking the Divine Firmament Saint a few times.

After all, an astounding number of Sage artifacts had been used in exchange for a single Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

Yet, such a transcendent divine pill was gifted to his own vile disciple just like that?

Frankly speaking, the Great Void Sacred Leader felt that his...

His tongue suddenly felt itchy.

Report chapter

Chapter 419: Huang Shi's Edict, Jixia Mass Enrolment!

Looking at the Sky-Mending Pill, Wang Shenxu was so touched that tears filled his eyes.

"Brother Shen is such an honorable and upstanding man!"

Wang Shenxu was delighted.

Woohoo! Woohoo!

Sky-Mending Pill! Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

Will I be able to ascend to the heavens after consuming this pill?

Wang Shenxu did not hesitate. He immediately consumed the Sky-Mending Pill and started refining it.

Soon, his body glowed, and he exuded a mighty aura.

The Great Void Sacred Leader gazed in Wang Shenxu's direction, his eyes full of anticipation.

Wang Shenxu possessed the Great Void Constitution, and with this pill, any prodigy with any kind of constitution would be able to evolve!

Does this mean that I can now announce to the world: My disciple Shenxu has the potential to be a Thearch?

Mmm?

Hadn't the Purple Mansion Sacred Leader been acting so pompously in front of me all this long?

After Shenxu refines this Sky-Mending Pill, let me see if that fellow can continue behaving so pompously! He will be so jealous!

Just the thought of that thrills me!

The Great Void Sacred Leader was full of hope and expectations. It was like he could already see the envious and jealous expression on the Purple Mansion Sacred Leader's face. He completely forgot that he had nearly lost control and killed his stupid disciple just a second ago.

But then again, is it that easy to get a Sky-Mending Pill? Why don't I give it a try later on?

A bold idea suddenly emerged in the Great Void Sacred Leader's mind.

However, after looking at Shen Tian and then at the group of juniors, he shook his head in the end.

There were too many people in the crowd now. He really could not afford to lose face in front of them all.

He was the Great Void Sacred Leader, after all. He had to maintain a level of dignity.

At that moment, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader walked past.

The Great Void Sacred Leader had just managed to suppress his urge when it rose again.

Although I cannot maintain my dignity if I seek out those juniors, there is still the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!

Tempted, the Great Void Sacred Leader quickly chased after him.

"Longyuan, my friend, I have something to talk to you about!"

Rumble!

Soon after taking the Sky-Mending Pill, Wang Shenxu started to evolve.

Tens of thousands of light rays shot out of his back, and the void surged and ebbed.

Supported by the void energy, Wang Shenxu's body seemed to change into a mirage as if it was merging with the void.

That was not all. Even the space behind him had turned somewhat fuzzy as if the fabrics of space were about to completely disintegrate and expose the void to all!

A mighty aura spread across the area, attracting everyone's attention.

"Is this the Great Void Constitution?"

"This endless void makes even a Heavenly Venerable like me shudder in fear."

Many people gasped as they stared at the evolution of Wang Shenxu's constitution. Their eyes were filled with shock.

The great void had always been very powerful since ancient times. Anyone who could control the void energy could easily surpass all other cultivators.

However, this kind of practitioner had a short lifespan as they had to use their life energy to activate this powerful force. That was especially so for those with the Great Void Constitution. Every one of them had exceptionally short lifespans.

As a result, people might be wary of those who could control the void but did not exactly fear them that much.

Wang Shenxu's Great Void Constitution was now evolving after consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

The power of his physical body had been greatly enhanced!

It was like he had merged as one with the void and become its ultimate controller!

On top of that, Wang Shenxu's energy force was rapidly replenishing. His originally white mane had turned into fine, black hair, while his panda-like black eyebags had nearly disappeared.

Every inch of him now radiated with extremely robust vitality.

At the same time, Wang Shenxu's cultivation level was also rapidly increasing, all the way until Peak-Stage Nascent Soul.

The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill not only helped Wang Shenxu's constitution evolve, but it also replenished all the vitality he had expended over the past years.

At that moment, Wang Shenxu was full of life and vigor!

Boom!

His aura surged wildly!

A divine light bloomed out of his body as his aura surged to the extreme.

At that moment, Wang Shenxu was like the great god of the void descended down on earth!

Qi Shaoxuan admitted to himself that he was jealous!

This kind of pill could tempt even a Sage. Of course he would be tempted too!

Even Wang Shenxu managed to improve his power greatly thanks to the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. If Qi Shaoxuan could get that pill, wouldn't he become even more powerful?

However, he was the former number one in Eastern Wilderness, proud and dignified. How could he behave like Wang Shenxu?

Not everyone could be so thick-skinned!

This made the situation rather awkward.

Qi Shaoxuan wanted the Sky-Mending Pill but couldn't bring himself to ask for it. He just stared woefully at Shen Tian.

Shen Tian's beads vibrated. "Master, Jiu'er feels an aura full of deep grievance radiating from the Purple Mansion Saint!"

Shen Tian, "???"

Shen Tian turned and saw Qi Shaoxuan staring at him resentfully. He looked exactly like a little wife who had not been doted on.

Shen Tian smiled.

He knew very well what Qi Shaoxuan was thinking. After all, it was widely known that the Divine Firmament Saint had very high EQ!

Anyway, he had already given away so many pills, and just one more wouldn't matter. Moreover, Qi Shaoxuan was also a great Son of Providence with a purple halo.

Qi Shaoxuan was a goose who laid very high-quality golden eggs. Shen Tian was more than happy to be generous toward him.

At that moment, Wang Shenxu rushed over and stood in front of Qi Shaoxuan in a spirited manner.

He crossed his hands behind his back, and his aura surged magnificently, looking very formidable.

He glanced at Qi Shaoxuan. "Buddy, do you dare to fight one round with me?"

Wang Shenxu was extremely arrogant now.

The void is my domain. No one can beat me!

Qi Shaoxuan had always been out-shining him, so he felt very aggrieved.

If it wasn't for his limited lifespan, he might be able to defeat Qi Shaoxuan.

But things are different now. I have eaten the pill! My battle prowess has increased, and my vitality has been restored! I feel like I am fit and able again!

Wang Shenxu stepped forth to challenge Qi Shaoxuan the minute he finished consuming the pill. He wanted to vent all the frustrations he had been harboring over the past years.

Qi Shaoxuan fell silent. He could feel the significant increase in Wang Shenxu's powers. He wasn't confident of defeating him now!

Even so, Qi Shaoxuan's purple aura surged, and he swung his Heaven's Halberd, looking very battle-ready.

I am number one in this world. How can I be afraid of such a petty little man? Since you want a fight, I will give you one!

Wang Shenxu chuckled.

"Buddy, you are not my match now! I will kill you today!"

Wang Shenxu felt a thrill run down his spine. It had been a long time since he was able to hold his head up so high!

From today onward, the position of number one in the world will be mine!

Ahhahahahahahahaha!

Just the thought of it makes me so happy!

At this moment, Shen Tian walked over.

"Brother Qi, I forgot about this just now. I prepared this Sky-Mending Pill for you!"

Shen Tian took out a Sky-Mending Pill and handed it to Qi Shaoxuan!

Qi Shaoxuan, "!!!"

Wang Shenxu, "???"

'Da-damn... I licked his boots for nothing?

Wang Shenxu's eyes widened as he stood there, completely dumbstruck.

Meanwhile, Qi Shaoxuan looked very moved. "Brother Shen, I don't..."

Yes, Qi Shaoxuan wanted to pretend to reject him, but he just could not get the words out. The effects of this pill had already been displayed for all to see. Even the power of Wang Shenxu, that loser, had been enhanced to such a high level.

There was no way Qi Shaoxuan wouldn't be tempted!

Under normal circumstances, one had to politely reject a few times to show good manners.

However, Qi Shaoxuan was worried that if he stood on ceremony now, what if Shen Tian really withdrew his offer?

When faced with this miracle divine pill, even Qi Shaoxuan couldn't help feeling very anxious.

"Brother Shen, words cannot describe my gratitude toward you. In the future, whenever you need me, I will be there even if I have to run through fire and swim across boiling waters!"

Qi Shaoxuan cupped his fists in respect, feeling very grateful.

Shen Tian was indeed very generous. He was willing to give away pills as precious as this.

The gulf between Brother Shen and I is as wide as the distance between heaven and earth!

Even so, I am definitely taking the number two spot in this world!

Sky-Mending Pill in hand, Qi Shaoxuan's desire for battle blazed to the extreme.

He looked at the nearly-crying Wang Shenxu. "We will have a nice long sparring session after I consume this Sky-Mending Pill. I want to see which is tougher, your body or my Heaven's Halberd! Wang Shenxu, if you got the guts, don't sneak off later!"

Qi Shaoxuan shot Wang Shenxu a mild look before sitting down to eat his pill.

Qi Shaoxuan's confidence was back after getting that Sky-Mending Pill!

Great Void Saint Wang Shenxu? Great Void Constitution? I will teach you a good lesson later!

Meanwhile, a myriad of expressions crossed Wang Shenxu's face. He went red for a minute, then pale.

Although Wang Shenxu had recovered nearly all of his vitality, and his constitution and power had been greatly enhanced, Qi Shaoxuan was not to be underestimated!

Qi Shaoxuan used to be number one in Eastern Wilderness. With the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill supporting him now, his battle prowess would definitely surge up.

I am not afraid of Qi Shaoxuan, but there is really no need for this.

Yes, no need!

After all, when others battle, they only expended spiritual energy, whereas I have to expend vitality!

No matter how long my lifespan is, I cannot waste it just like that!

Who knows just how many years of my life will I waste if I fight with Qi Shaoxuan now?

At that thought, Wang Shenxu started to feel a sense of trepidation...

No, not trepidation. I am just being prudent!

He smiled. "Brother Qi, I was just joking with you earlier! Ha... haha... hahaha!"

Qi Shaoxuan just shot him a mild look. "Don't sneak off later."

Wang Shenxu's face stiffened. "Qi Shaoxuan, don't push me too far!"

"Don't sneak off later."

"Don't think that I am afraid of you! I will sacrifice my own lifespan just to kill you!"

"Don't sneak off later."

Wang Shenxu, "..."

"Brother Shen, I suddenly remember that I have something on at home. My seventh aunt's niece is cutting her hair for the first time today. I must go and help them celebrate the occasion. Brother Shen, I will take my leave first!"

Wang Shenxu immediately fled!

Do you think I will really fight to the death with Qi Shaoxuan?

No way!

Do you take me for a fool?

Things are not looking good. Time to run away!

Swoosh!

The void surged, and Wang Shenxu disappeared to goodness-knows-where.

Qi Shaoxuan, "..."

The crowd, "..."

This Great Void Constitution is pretty cool! His speed when running for his life is second to none!

Meanwhile, Zhang Yunxi and Princess Linglong were also bickering. They had not stopped since returning from Penglai Island.

Luckily, they were more toned down now. They just fought verbally and didn't really come to physical blows. Otherwise, another major battle would erupt!

At that moment, something on Princess Linglong suddenly sparkled.

Princess Linglong was shocked as she took out an item.

"Why did my transmission device suddenly light up?"

Feeling hesitant, Princess Linglong activated the device.

The golden light erupted into a brilliant rainbow that shot into her head.

Princess Linglong looked even more startled now.

Zhang Yunxi frowned. "What's happening?"

Princess Linglong smiled. "A delegation from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty is about to arrive. They must be here to congratulate Brother Shen!"

As the young princess of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, she was very happy to hear that a delegation from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was arriving.

Zhang Yunxi's expression turned grave.

Delegation from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty. Could they be here to propose marriage?

No way!

I have to find my father now!

Junior Brother is mine! No one else is allowed to have him!

Zhang Yunxi hurried off.

Before long, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was enveloped in endless divine light.

The fabrics of space vibrated as light rays shot out from everywhere as if a searing sun was slowly rising!

Everyone turned and saw a massive war chariot appear.

Nine primordial Qilin-like beasts stood in front of the chariot. They were resplendent and exuded a terrifying aura as if heavenly beasts descended on earth.

These nine primordial Qilin-like beasts did have Qilin blood running through their veins. They were part-Q!ilin and were all Demon Venerables. They had very formidable power, enough to reign over all their peers!

But even high-level demons like them were only good enough to drag the chariot.

Behind these primordial Qilin-like beasts were 36 peak Heavenly Venerable cultivators dressed in silver armor.

Their cultivation levels were terrifying, and their auras merged seamlessly as if they were one. It was clear that they were well-versed in coordinated attacks.

36 peak Heavenly Venerables working together was enough to stand against a True Sage!

Even so, these 36 peak Heavenly Venerables were just escorts.

Right in the center was a dazzling golden chariot.

Divine light swirled around the chariot, which was covered in numerous magic runes. Activated, it held enough power to kill a Sage.

A tall, mighty man with a fearsome aura sat inside this chariot. He had a relaxed demeanor and had the domineering air of an ultimate ruler. He didn't look like he was of this world at all.

The Sages from the various sacred grounds were shocked at the sight.

Such a massive formation for just one chariot. So extravagant?

Who was the man in that chariot?

He had such a formidable standing and earth-shaking power?

The man slowly stood up and stepped out. The space where his foot made contact with cracked, revealing a black abyss.

Everyone's eyes narrowed. That aura was just too fearsome. It far surpassed that of a True Sage!

Only a peak Tribulation Transcendence expert possessed such a terrifying aura!

"That's... the War King of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty!"

A sacred leader from Middle Ground recognized the man.

This made everyone even more shocked.

It should be pointed out that the War King was one of the most powerful practitioners in the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty. He was a Great Sage who had undergone nine tribulations and could easily dominate over every single Sage at present!

Such a powerful practitioner was coming all the way to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground... Could he be here to attend the Saint Inauguration Ceremony!?

Pfffttt!

All the Sages gasped at the thought.

They didn't expect the Divine Firmament Saint to be so famous as to attract such a big wig!

The War King was now at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

He could cross 10,000 miles in a single step and instantly appeared before everyone, suspended in mid-air.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader flew up, his heavenly aura rippling. "Welcome, War King!

"I wonder why you have come all this way?"

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was well-acquainted with the War King and was not worried that he had come to cause trouble.

Moreover, the War King was from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, and Princess Linglong was still in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. All the less reason to worry.

The War King nodded at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. "I came here to attend the Saint Inauguration Ceremony and offer my congratulations.

"Also, I am here on orders of Great Thearch Huang Shi to make an announcement to all the sacred grounds!

"Jixia Academy is making an exception to conduct a mass enrolment. All young talented prodigies at Golden Core Sixth Refinement Stage and above can enroll at Jixia Academy."

The entire crowd was in an uproar at his words!

The War King of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, the most powerful authority in Middle Ground, was willing to come all this way to attend this Saint Inauguration Ceremony!

It was unbelievable!

Even Sacred Leader Inauguration Ceremonies in all the other sacred grounds had never received such star treatment!

This alone was enough to shock all the sacred grounds.

But the most shocking thing was the second point—the War King had mentioned Great Thearch Huang Shi!

He was a legendary figure who had ascended to the top position across the five regions 5,000 years ago. He was the one who had created the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty and Jixia Academy!

Great Thearch Huang Shi had personally given the order to have Jixia Academy conduct a mass enrolment!

This was enough to make all the Golden Core prodigies go into a delighted frenzy!

It should be pointed out that Jixia Academy was the sacred ground where all the prodigies wished to enter. It attracted the most talented prodigies from all over.

Inside that place, there were countless precious legacies and powerful practitioners as mentors. Many prodigies wished to go there.

As long as one could enroll in Jixia Academy, they could become one of the top practitioners!

However, it was not that easy to enter Jixia Academy.

For the sacred grounds, only their Saints and Saintesses had the right to enroll in Jixia Academy.

As for the grotto-heavens and blessed-lands, their criteria were even more stringent. Unless the prodigy had mind-blowing talent, they would not be accepted.

Generally, the sacred grounds would send one batch of core disciples every hundred years.

Most of the core disciples would leave their sacred grounds after 100 years to gain more training experience or control one of their sacred ground's strongholds.

Meanwhile, the Saints, Saintesses, and most outstanding prodigies would enter Jixia Academy to continue their cultivation.

Countless talented prodigies sparred and clashed in Jixia Academy, resulting in numerous conflicts.

It was from these conflicts that truly indomitable practitioners were forged.

Previously, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had trained in Jixia Academy.

They had created many waves while they were in Jixia Academy.

It could be said that this was the most powerful academy in the five regions.

In the past, the academy only accepted the best.

Now, they were relaxing their restrictions and accepting Golden Core cultivators. This meant that many more prodigies would be able to enter Jixia Academy!

As a result, the faces of countless prodigies were filled with excitement and hope!

However, the older generation was more subdued, with some looking rather grave.

Is Jixia Academy doing this to quickly groom more talented practitioners?

And this order was given by Great Thearch Huang Shi himself.

Does this mean that even he is feeling the pressure?

They linked this event to the earlier words of the Evil Spirit Sect's True Sage.

For a moment there, the hearts of many sank.

Don't tell me that...

The five regions will really be descending into chaos soon!?

Chapter 420: Great Thearch Huang Shi, Teaching Personally?

Just when everyone was shocked by War King's words, a figure ran out. "Uncle War King!"

That's right, that person was Princess Linglong.

As the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty's princess, she naturally had to come out to welcome the War King.

"Princess, if His Majesty knew that you sneaked away again, he'd be very mad," said the War King as he tried putting on a solemn face once he saw Princess Linglong.

After the Immortal Abode Island incident, Princess Linglong had secretly run away. Who would have expected that she had gone to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?

One had to know that Princess Linglong had high status, so no one could take responsibility if anything happened to her!

Princess Linglong stuck out her tongue as she wheedled, "Uncle War King, I know I'm wrong."

The War King smiled bitterly as he shook his head. His solemn face also turned into that of pampering.

He just could not keep a straight face in front of her.

Princess Linglong not only had extremely high talents, but she was also wise and intelligent. Thus she was loved by the various powerful beings in the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.

Naturally, the War King was not an exception.

Wait, why has the princess' constitution changed?

The War King suddenly realized that Princess Linglong's constitution seemed to have undergone a change.

Currently, her constitution was much more powerful than before, and even her cultivation level had increased greatly.

That astonished the War King.

One had to know that the Linglong Sage Body was already one of the top-notch constitutions—even Emperor Shi had been delighted when Princess Linglong was born.

It was a constitution decided on birth and basically could not be changed.

However, not only had Princess Linglong's Linglong Sage Body undergone a transformation, but it had also become much stronger. It was simply unbelievable.

One had to know that only about one month had passed since she had gone missing!

"My strength has increased again, and it's all due to Brother Shen's Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!"

Princess Linglong blushed and unconsciously glanced at Shen Tian.

"Shen Tian? Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill?"

The War King could not help but become interested.

Shortly after, Princess Linglong explained what had happened to him in detail.

The War King was astounded and could not help but exclaim, "There's actually such an extraordinary pill in this world!"

Princess Linglong would not deceive him, so there was indeed such a miraculous pill that could even benefit Sages.

The War King narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings before speaking. "Where is the Divine Firmament Saint?"

Shen Tian walked forward and cupped his hands together before replying, "I greet Senior War King, I am Shen Tian!"

The War King looked at Shen Tian, who had unparalleled handsomeness and could not help but be stunned by Shen Tian's appearance.

He's indeed extraordinary. His looks could even be compared to when I'm young.

He said calmly, "Indeed, you have extraordinary talent. I represent the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty to congratulate you on succeeding in the position of the Divine Firmament Saint."

Upon hearing the War King's words, the Sages from the various sacred grounds could not help but exclaim.

They had indeed guessed correctly!

The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty had actually sent the War King, a Nine Tribulation Great Sage, to congratulate the Divine Firmament Saint in his Saint Inauguration Ceremony!

Just what kind of honor was this?

No Saint or Saintess in the five regions had ever enjoyed such a treatment!

However, given the Divine Firmament Saint's talent, he was worthy of such actions.

During this period, everyone had already been convinced by Shen Tian's peerless talent, which he had displayed.

Not only could he send a True Sage flying with one hammer, but he could even create the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

No other prodigies from the younger generation could have such talents!

Shen Tian smiled and said, "Senior War King, you're flattering me!"

Shen Tian was quite humble as he was facing a Nine Tribulation Great Sage.

The War King nodded slightly. "You're neither arrogant nor impetuous and have a mature mindset. You are indeed an exceptional man!

"On this trip, besides delivering Great Thearch Huang Shi's edict, there's also a matter involving you!"

"Me?"

Shen Tian was dumbstruck.

Why does it involve me?

Although I am indeed overflowing with talent, and I'm also both intelligent and courageous, it's unlikely for someone as powerful and mighty as the War King to look for me personally, right?

"Rumors say that the Divine Firmament Saint is exceptionally gifted, so His Majesty has mentioned in the edict that he hopes for you to head to Jixia Academy to study. The emperor is willing to teach you personally."

The War King looked calm and composed, but he was also dumbfounded.

One had to know that the Great Thearch Huang Shi had paramount status in Jixia Academy.

In the past 1,000 years, only Shi Tianzi, who had polychoria and paramount talent, from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty had received Huang Shi's pointers!

Shi Tianzi was a young prodigy who could look down on all other prodigies. He was the strongest prodigy in Middle Ground.

Only he had the qualifications to cultivate with Huang Shi.

Unexpectedly, Huang Shi had actually given an edict to teach the Divine Firmament Saint, who he had never met before and was in Eastern Wilderness that was far away.

That had left even the emperor puzzled.

The various Sages were also dumbstruck.

It was the Great Thearch Huang Shi!

The ceiling of the cultivators of the five regions!

Such an existence had actually invited the Divine Firmament Saint to enter Jixia Academy and even wanted to teach him personally!

Even the Sages were shocked!

Meanwhile, the other sacred grounds' prodigies were all jealous.

As expected of the Divine Firmament Saint!

We fall far short of him!

Being able to receive Great Thearch Huang Shi's guidance is of paramount honor, and he will be able to brag for 1,000 years!

However, Shen Tian was not happy. Instead, he was worried.

What's going on?

Is it possible that my fame has reached the Great Thearch Huang Shi's ears?

This is not good!

If even an existence on the level of Great Thearch Huang Shi knows of me, then doesn't that mean those evil cultivators from the Evil Spirit Sect have their eyes on me?

Looks like I have caused too much of a commotion recently!

At that thought, Shen Tian suddenly felt anxious!

He had successfully cultivated the second section of the Blood God Sutra and learned the True Spirit Rotation Technique, so even if his real body was killed, he could instantly shift his soul to his clone and directly revive using his clone's body.

Unless the opponent could instantly annihilate all of Shen Tian's clones, Shen Tian would be immortal. He might not be able to defeat all the powerful cultivators in the five regions with such a cultivation technique, but he had nothing to lose.

There were only a few that could truly threaten Shen Tian's life throughout the whole five regions.

However, it was a pity that this world was not very peaceful as there were just too many weird incidents.

Would there be an existence with a special ability that could counter the Blood God Sutra?

Shen Tian was not completely sure of such a point either!

In the end, the five regions were only the mortal world. However, it was strange how the Celestial World would pay so much attention to this world.

Be it the God of War Pagoda, Chaotic Star Island, Primordial Battlefield, and so on... There were plenty of weird things that no one knew, so what if there was something that could counter the Blood God Sutra!

Shen Tian still thought that it was better to be safer first and raise his strength as quickly as possible.

Only if he was powerful enough would he not need to care about all kinds of threats and dangers!

It was quite a good choice to enter Jixia Academy to study. It was renowned as the best place to study in the five regions, and one could increase their strength rapidly!

Meanwhile, it was also protected by the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty's powerful cultivators. Thus, the Evil Spirit Sect should not be able to infiltrate it, right!?

Shen Tian looked at the War King. "Senior War King, I am honored by such kindness!"

The reason Shen Tian agreed was not only to increase his strength as fast as possible but, more importantly, Jixia Academy was a place where prodigies from all lands gathered!

As long as they were prodigies, most of them would have high providence or were even Children of Providences that surpassed other prodigies!

A place where so many prodigies gathered, such a big sheep pan— Dream place to study!

How could I miss such an opportunity to study in such a place? I must go freeload off them!

The War King smiled and said, "Very good, very good! From today onward, you'll follow me to Jixia Academy."

Seeing that Shen Tian had agreed, the War King was satisfied. It was also mainly because he wanted to see just how extraordinary the Divine Firmament Saint for even the Great Thearch to invite him.

Could this Divine Firmament Saint's talent be on par with that person with polycoria?

Between the two of them, just who would be stronger?

Shen Tian nodded and was excited.

His providence had decreased, and he had yet to recover it, so he felt insecure.

Shen Tian would not let go of such a great opportunity of going to Jixia Academy and would definitely freeload off some fortuitous opportunities!

Here I come, Junior Sisters and Brothers of Jixia Academy!

Afterward, the War King left as he still had to converse with the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader and sacred leaders of the various sacred grounds.

At that moment, the edict token in the War King's hands suddenly turned into a bright golden light when entered the God of War Pagoda.

A majestic golden figure appeared within the God of War Pagoda, and a cultured voice sounded. "Huang Shi greets Senior Ye! How have you been doing in the thousands of years that we've not met, Senior?"

The Saint Inauguration Ceremony ended soon, but the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was still very lively.

It was mainly because Jixia Academy had expanded their intake, so Golden Core Sixth Refinement Stage and above prodigies were extremely excited.

Just nicely, most of the prodigies from the various sacred grounds had gathered at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

As such, they could also follow the War King to Jixia Academy.

The five regions were not as peaceful as they seemed, thanks to the restless Evil Spirit Sect that was ready to cause trouble. Its existence was extremely threatening to the young prodigies.

In the past 10,000 years, the Evil Spirit Sect had assassinated prodigies from the various sects.

Many prodigies had already died in the Evil Spirit Sect's hands before they could become stronger.

That made many sects focus on the protection of their prodigies.

Meanwhile, if they could head to Jixia Academy, they could be protected by the War King. They would naturally be much safer.

After all, the War King was a Nine Tribulation Great Sage, so even the Evil Spirit Sect would not dare to act rashly.

The numerous prodigies were waiting to head to Jixia Academy.

It was a dream place for numerous prodigies as it was full of fortuitous opportunities that they yearned for.

Many prodigies from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were also preparing. Besides Shen Tian, who the Great Thearch had personally mentioned, true disciples at Golden Core Sixth Refinement Stage and above would also head there together.

That was the case for the top four prodigies of the Divine Firmament—Zhang Yunxi, Zhang Yunting, Fang Chang, and Zhao Hao.

Their strength had increased to Peak-Stage Nascent Soul after consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.

Even if Jixia Academy did not expand their intake, they would be able to enter it due to their strength and talent.

The four of them could not help but be excited as they were able to travel together with Shen Tian again.

Since Shen Tian was widely known as the Son of Providence, it was naturally the best to be able to attend Jixia Academy with him!

That also caused the number of prodigies heading to Jixia Academy to be far more than previously!

It was a good thing that the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was well-prepared and had directly brought a Sage artifact flying vessel, which could accommodate everyone.

That humongous flying vessel floated on top of the sacred ground, and splendid energy of laws could be seen surrounding it.

The bright golden-colored flying vessel looked like it was coated with Divine Gold and was impenetrable.

A golden barrier completely enveloped the flying vessel and emitted a powerful aura.

The Sage artifact was specially created by the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty and could block attacks from True Sages.

The surrounding people could not help but gasp in awe. Only the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty had enough resources to build such a Sage artifact flying vessel!

Therefore, there was no need to worry during the trip to Jixia Academy. Not only did they have a Sage artifact with such powerful defensive abilities, but a Nine Tribulation Great Sage was also present!

No one would dare to attack!

"Let's head out!"

The War King's voice resounded, and the entire flying vessel flew into the sky while leaving behind a trail of gorgeous rainbows, heading toward Middle Ground.

Middle Ground, within the Evil Spirit Palace...

The resplendent and magnificent palace was grandeur as if it was a sacred place for Buddhism.

The surroundings were filled with Buddhist items, such as golden Buddha statues, zafu, wooden fish, and so on.

However, those Buddhist treasures were all dyed in black light, and there was no holy aura at all.

Some golden Buddha statues' eyes were red and seemed to be filled with bloodlust, while others had turned completely pitch-black and emitting an evil aura.

In that case, this place did not seem like a sacred place for Buddhism. Instead, it looked like a land of evil.

Meanwhile, there was an extremely sinister figure on the black zafu.

On one side was pitch-black light, while on the other was resplendent golden light. It was as if the Buddha and demons coexisted in one body.

It was the Evil Spirit Sect's Lifeless King!

The Lifeless King suddenly opened his eyes, and a crimson light with incomparable sharpness was shot out of his eyes.

However, his aura was much weaker than before. Evidently, his strength had declined.

"That damned Shen Tian actually caused me to lose two of my Dao bodies!"

Lifeless King's future self had died due to that astounding sword aura, and even his original body had been injured heavily.

He had been resting for about a month, and only now did his injury stabilize.

However, the Lifeless King's strength could not be compared to the past.

Not only did his strength decrease by quite a few levels after losing two Dao bodies, but he had also wasted 1,000 years of cultivation.

Even his cultivation technique of three bodies had faced a great obstacle!

Lifeless King originally planned to cultivate his three bodies to the extreme before merging them.

This way, his cultivation level might advance and reach an unprecedented stage.

However, two Dao bodies had been destroyed, making the Lifeless King completely lose such a thought.

Without thousands of years, he basically would not be able to improve anymore.

Even if he did form those two Dao bodies again, numerous resources and lots of effort would have to be spent. Therefore, it was no wonder the Lifeless King hated Shen Tian to his core!

However, the Lifeless King also realized that Shen Tian was simply too strange.

His past self had been directly destroyed by the pagoda when trying to kill Shen Tian while his Evil Spirit Sect army had been completely wiped out!

His future self had also been suddenly sliced into pieces by a sword aura when on the way to deal with Shen Tian.

Everything had happened because he had wanted to finish off Shen Tian.

That made Lifeless King extremely solemn.

If any mishaps happened when he finished off Shen Tian, he would really die this time.

The Lifeless King swore, "Shen Tian, the day when I cultivate my three bodies again will be the day of your death!"

The Lifeless King decided to find Shen Tian and take revenge after his battle strength was restored.

However, that did not mean he would let Shen Tian off the hook.

"If that is so, then I'll just take the interest from your family members first.

"The imperial family of the Country of Fire? 13th Prince?

"Hmph, just you wait!"

The Lifeless King's sneer reverberated throughout the whole palace!

Chapter 421: Are There Prodigies Outside Of Middle Ground?

Middle Ground was a vast land in the center of the continent. It possessed the most number of ore mines and had an abundance of Spirit Qi, so it was extremely suitable for cultivation.

Due to the terrain advantage, the cultivators and sacred grounds in Middle Ground were far more than the other four regions.

Naturally, there was also a larger number of talented prodigies!

Meanwhile, the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was located in the most central position of Middle Ground and was extremely far away from Eastern Wilderness.

Even if a Heavenly Venerable wanted to head to Eastern Wilderness from Middle Ground, it would take them about half a year.

If the Golden Core and Nascent Soul prodigies were to head to Jixia Academy themselves, only God knew when they might arrive.

It was a good thing most of the prodigies sat on the Sage flying vessel of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty that had great speed, continuously zooming through the sky. They only spent one month to arrive at Middle Ground.

The flying vessel gradually stopped and hovered in the air.

Below it was an extremely grand and magnificent area.

Thick heavenly fog enshrouded the whole area, which made it look miraculous.

The cities were spread all over like stars in the sky, and the 18 main cities were distributed in all directions, which corresponded to each other, surrounding the imperial city.

Each main city's location was extremely special. They corresponded to the general trend of heaven and earth, intermingling with each other and filled with mystery!

It was as if a land from the Celestial World had fallen to the mortal world!

Such a design was as miraculous as the world's changes, gathering an abundance of Spirit Qi.

The ingenious workmanship excelling nature had transformed the whole place.

The various prodigies from Eastern Wilderness were all dumbstruck by such a scene as they walked out of the flying vessel.

"The Spirit Qi here is so dense!"

The various prodigies took a deep breath and sensed how thick and dense the surrounding Spirit Qi was as it surged to them like torrential waves.

The Spirit Qi entered their bodies like an endless river.

In that instant, all the prodigies were enveloped in Spirit Qi, which energized and refreshed them!

Everyone could not help but be astounded.

The degree of abundance in Spirit Qi could even be compared to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

One had to know that the Divine Firmament Small World was an independent world and was a place where Divine Firmament's ancestors had used supreme power of law to gather the Spirit Qi in the Small World.

Only then did the density of the Spirit Qi in the Divine Firmament Small World be much higher than the outside world.

However, in this place, not only was the density of the Spirit Qi on par with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, but it was also hundreds of times wider!

How could they not be astonished?

To form such a huge area of sacred ground, besides consuming a large number of resources to create the array formation to gather the Spirit Qi, it was also closely related to the imperial city surrounded by the 18 main cities.

They had built the 18 main cities around the imperial city to borrow the power of heaven and earth and gather the Spirit Qi so that such dense Spirit Qi could be formed.

This was a massive array formation!

The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty's strength was indeed unfathomable.

"This is the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty?"

Shen Tian looked around. It was his first time in Middle Ground, so he was quite curious.

Princess Linglong walked toward him with a smile and said, "Brother Shen, this is the Great Wilderness Region. It's the head of the nine regions in Middle Ground and also the base area of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty."

"This whole place is the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty's territory? Then wouldn't they need a lot of manpower to guard it?" Wang Shenxu could not help but ask as he walked forward.

As the Great Void Saint, he had extremely high talent, and his cultivation level was Peak-Stage Nascent, so he naturally had the qualifications to enter Jixia Academy. Therefore, Wang Shenxu also followed Shen Tian and others to Middle Ground.

Once he saw such a scene, his eyes could not help but light up.

Ah~

Huge, this land is just too vast!

Such a big place. Is the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty able to guard it all?

How about I try to see if I can steal anything from inside?

Ever since Wang Shenxu's Great Void Constitution had been strengthened, he was becoming more proficient in his control over space.

More importantly, he had been spending time with Bai Di and Yue Yunde when he was in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. It was like a meeting of minds between people sharing the same rotten tastes!

Thanks to their Heaven-Earth Turbo Speed and Great Void art, the three of them had swindled quite a few gullible prodigies.

In the end, someone had discovered something was amiss and exposed the three of them.

The sacred leaders of the various sacred grounds were enraged and wanted to condemn them in public!

Only after the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Great Void Sacred Leader had come together was the incident settled.

After they were beaten up harshly, the three of them restrained themselves and dared not do it again.

Meanwhile, in the Middle Ground Great Wilderness Region, Wang Shenxu could feel his hands itching again as he looked at the various prosperous main cities.

"There's a total of 18 main cities and one imperial city in the Great Wilderness Region.

"Each main city is guarded by a Seven Tribulation and above Great Sage.

"In the central imperial city, there are even Nine Tribulation and above Mighty Sages."

As the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty's princess, Princess Linglong naturally had a deep understanding of the Great Wilderness Region.

However, she did not know what Wang Shenxu was thinking and only explained what she knew.

Wang Shenxu instantly broke out in cold sweat, and those thoughts that had just arisen were instantly forcibly thrown away.

You must be joking!

What can I do in a city with a Great Sage guarding it!?

Wouldn't I be beaten up horribly if I were caught?

Better not go looking for death!

The various prodigies took a deep breath as they were filled with astonishment.

A sacred ground could not even be compared to the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, which had so many Great Sages and Mighty Sages!

Was this the strength of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty?

It was indeed formidable!

Someone asked, "Princess, where is Jixia Academy?"

The flying vessel had flown away after letting everyone down here. They were not directly sent to Jixia Academy.

Princess Linglong replied indifferently, "Jixia Academy is in the Sky Saint City and beside the imperial city, so it's quite close to here."

The place where they had landed was near to the imperial city and was only slightly far away from Sky Saint City.

Princess Linglong explained, "Just nicely, today's the day Jixia Academy is open to the public. We could go and take a look!"

Jixia Academy would only be open once every 100 years to pick talented prodigies.

During this day, prodigies from all over the five regions would be extremely excited and flock to Jixia Academy.

Meanwhile, today was the day Jixia Academy was opened to even the public, which was unprecedented in the thousands of years it existed.

Therefore, prodigies wanting to enter Jixia Academy could be seen everywhere.

As such, they could even see prodigies with powerful aura heading to Sky Saint City in their surroundings. They were obviously unable to hold themselves back.

There were even many prodigies from the royal families of Middle Ground heading toward Jixia Academy.

Jixia Academy had superior mentors and a long history. If they could study at Jixia Academy for a period, they would definitely benefit greatly. It might even be possible for them to be one of the top cultivators in the future.

Therefore, even those top families like the royal family would inevitably want to send their prodigies to Jixia Academy.

After seeing such a scene, Shen Tian and the others also headed toward Sky Saint City.

Shen Tian wore his mask on the way. It was really impossible for him not to wear it!

Even in Middle Ground, his appearance was still exceptional. That resulted in countless female prodigies stopping in their tracks and just staring at Shen Tian with infatuation, even forgetting about Jixia Academy's student recruitment.

Many female prodigies started to exclaim.

"Such a handsome man!"

"Which sacred ground is he from? How could he be so handsome!?"

"Ah, I've fallen for him!"

"Does he have a Dao companion? What do you think of me?"

"Hey, handsome, I have a powerful dual cultivation art that can increase our cultivation level quickly!"

Some female prodigies were more assertive and could not help but hit on Shen Tian.

Naturally, Princess Linglong and Zhang Yunxi's expressions instantly darkened. Their fearsome aura erupted, sweeping toward all directions.

That piercingly cold aura seemed to be able to explode anytime like a volcano!

That intimidated others, and they did not even dare to approach Shen Tian anymore!

Meanwhile, Fang Chang and the others could not help but exclaim, "Saint, you're indeed extraordinary!"

"You draw everyone's attention no matter where you go!"

"We fall far short of you!'

However, shortly after, Fang Chang could feel a cold shiver run down his spine. He turned to see Zhang Yunxi's cold glare, which made him hurriedly shut his mouth.

Shen Tian felt resigned.

So it's all my fault that I'm good-looking? Who can understand my helplessness?

To prevent Zhang Yunxi and Princess Linglong from picking a fight, Shen Tian wore his mask to prevent some troubles.

Sky Saint City was one of the main cities in the Great Wilderness Region, but it was extremely special, far surpassing the other main cities.

There were Nascent Soul prodigies all over the place, and even Soul Formation prodigies were not in the few.

It was mainly because Jixia Academy was in Sky Saint City.

The most powerful cultivators were students of Jixia Academy, so they possessed remarkable strength.

Shen Tian and the others had also arrived in Sky Saint City.

At that moment, a light shone on Zhang Yunxi.

That was the communication token which the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground used to contact the Saints and Saintesses who entered Jixia Academy.

One had to know that the sacred grounds had been in existence for a long time, and they would choose a new Saint and Saintess every 100 years. It was not because the previous Saint or Saintess had died but because they had all entered Jixia Academy to cultivate.

It was also the same for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. Besides the first generation's Saint, Yue Yunde, the Saints and Saintesses of other generations were all within Jixia Academy.

When Zhang Yunxi and the others had arrived in Sky Saint City, their communication tokens had received a message.

Zhang Yunxi was momentarily stunned. "Junior Brother, our previous generations of Senior Brothers and Sisters have invited us to the Copper Sparrow Pavilion. They say that they want to throw us a welcome party to celebrate our arrival!"

Wang Shenxu said, "I have received it too!"

Qi Shaoxuan also spoke. "Me too!"

Not only the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, but also the Great Void Sacred Ground, Purple Mansion Sacred Ground, and Jade Lake Sacred Ground had also sent the same invitation as the sacred grounds were all from Eastern Wilderness, and they were all currently in Middle Ground.

Therefore, they decided to have a joint celebration.

Shen Tian looked at the communication token in his hand, smiled, and said, "Since Senior Brothers and Sisters have invited us with such hospitality, we have to go."

They were from the same sacred ground, so how could they refuse their Senior Brothers and Sisters' invitation?

After they rested for a moment, they headed toward the Copper Sparrow Pavilion.

The Copper Sparrow Pavilion was the most prosperous restaurant in Sky Saint City.

It was splendid and magnificent.

On the top floor of the restaurant, there was a copper sparrow statue made from Spirit Copper.

The copper sparrow was surrounded by resplendent divine light. It looked so vivid and lifelike that it seemed to want to take off and soar into the sky, directly flying into the Celestial World.

There were people wearing clothing of the various sacred grounds within the Copper Sparrow Pavilion. They were arranging the banquets in the restaurant.

"My Junior Brother, Purple Mansion Saint Shaoxuan, will be coming, so I shall pay this time. Everyone, please do not fight with me."

The man speaking wore purple clothes and was the Ninth Purple Mansion Saint. He was a person with great generosity, so he prepared to directly book the private room of the highest grade, the Golden Phoenix room!

"How could I do that? You know that there are many prodigies from my Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, so how could I trouble you?"

The person who spoke was the Eighth Divine Firmament Saint.

It was because within the list of prodigies who had entered the academy, not only were there the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's offspring but also the Divine Firmament Saint, who was already famous throughout the whole five regions and had been mentioned by the Great Thearch Huang Shi!

Therefore, the previous generations of Divine Firmament Saints were all honored!

They did not want others to be the host.

"Then it's settled. Please allow us to have the honor!"

The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint had also walked out and paid the money to book the room without hesitation.

The Ninth Purple Mansion Saint could not help but smile awkwardly when he saw such a scene.

He had no other choice!

It was true that the prodigies from the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground were fewer than the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground...

One had to know that only one person in the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground was relatively top-notch, Qi Shaoxuan.

However, in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, apart from Shen Tian, the other four top prodigies of the Divine Firmament were also on par with Qi Shaoxuan!

This time, the number of Divine Firmament prodigies who entered the academy was the highest.

If others fought to pay the bill with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, then it would mean that they did not give face to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

The Ninth Purple Mansion Saint shook his head with a smile and did not continue insisting.

However, at that moment, a few figures barged in.

"Wait a second!"

"The Golden Phoenix room is ours!"

The various prodigies looked in the direction of the voices—it was also a group of young prodigies. They wore expensive-looking robes, and their auras were thick and vigorous. It was obvious that their cultivation levels were quite high.

The Eighth Divine Firmament Saint stepped forward and narrowed his eyes as he looked toward that group of people. "You're from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground? What do you want to do?"

"We've already booked the Golden Phoenix room, so it can't be that you want to snatch it forcibly?"

Those people were Middle Ground's Nine Sun Saints.

Prodigies from Middle Ground's sacred grounds all looked down on others that were not from Middle Ground. Thus, they were on bad terms with the Saints and Saintesses from the other four regions. They believed that they were exceptional, and the other four regions were remote and backward places, so they deemed those from the other four regions inferior!

The previous generations of Saints and Saintesses from Eastern Wilderness would naturally not show a good attitude to hostile people.

"Just you bumpkins from such a backward place dare to compete with us for the room?

"I might as well tell you frankly that the South Prince and North Prince are going to hold a banquet in the Golden Phoenix room today.

"So I advise you to be sensible and beat it obediently, or we won't mind throwing all of you out."

That prodigy from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground had a smirk on his face, and his tone was filled with ridicule.

A savage sect from Eastern Wilderness dares to fight with the South Prince? They must have a death wish!

The Ninth Purple Mansion Saint could not stand watching, so he walked up and shouted, "You're going too far!"

However, another group of people appeared behind those from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground. They were all Saints from Middle Ground's sacred grounds.

The Sky Tripod Saint sneered. "Just a weakling from the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground, and you still want to help others out? Why don't you go back and see if your Sixth Senior Brother has recovered from his injury!"

The Sky Tripod Sacred Ground and Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had always been on bad terms.

Some time ago, the Sixth Purple Mansion Saint had been injured heavily by the Sixth Sky Tripod Saint when fighting, and he had yet to recover completely even after resting for a few months.

Those from the Sky Tripod Sacred Ground were naturally extremely arrogant and thought nothing of the Ninth Purple Mansion Saint.

"You!"

The Ninth Purple Mansion Saint was enraged and even wanted to rush forward and make a move.

However, he was stopped by the Eight Divine Firmament Saint. "Calm down."

This time, only the younger generation of Saints from the various sacred grounds had come. Those of the older generations were all in seclusion, trying to break through to a higher stage.

Meanwhile, amongst those Middle Ground Saints, not only did they have the advantage in numbers, but there were also older generation Senior Brothers with them.

If they really did fight, Eastern Wilderness' prodigies would most likely lose.

However, that did not mean that they would admit defeat!

The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint stepped forward and scoffed. "Those from the Sky Tripod Sacred Ground, don't be too arrogant. If First Senior Brother were here, how would you dare to be so presumptuous?"

Upon hearing the Seventh Divine Firmament Saint's words, fear could not help but appear on the faces of the various Middle Ground Saints.

Obviously, they had been intimidated by this First Senior Brother that the Seventh Divine Firmament Saint had mentioned. The First Divine Firmament Saint was widely known as the most unreasonable and hard to deal with.

Not only was he powerful, but he was also thick-skinned.

No one wanted to provoke the First Divine Firmament Saint as they would only be beaten up if they provoked others, and at most result in death. However, if the First Divine Firmament Saint held a grudge against them, they would not be able to even rest in peace on their deathbed.

"Such a joke. What do you mean by mentioning your First Senior Brother?"

At that moment, a sneer echoed. "Your First Senior Brother should be that fatso Yue Yunde! He's a shameless bast*rd that only knows how to dig other people's ancestral graves. How laughable! Tell him to come to fight me if he dares. I'll break his legs!"

Another two figures appeared behind the various Middle Ground prodigies.

One of them wore golden silk feathered clothes, had sharp eyes, and brilliant golden light enveloped him from head to toe.

He carried a Sage longsword behind him and had a fearsome aura as if the Divine Eagle had descended from heaven.

The other wore colored glaze clothes and had a deep and restrained aura.

He looked ordinary, but he was greatly fearsome. He was like a Black Tortoise that was asleep. He was as still as the mountain but could unleash his relentless ferocious attacks anytime!

Those two people were the North Prince, Shi Ling, and South Prince, Shi Kui.

They were the cream of the crop amongst the Middle Groundyoung prodigies!

Chapter 422: Middle Ground VS Eastern Wilderness, Battle Of The Prodigies!

The four princes of the North, South, East, and West were held in the highest esteem amongst the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty royalty. They were the biological brothers of the current Emperor Shi.

The South and North Princes were considered amongst the top practitioners even in the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.

They were the two eldest sons who were from the direct family line. As a result, they possessed the elite royal bloodline and had very powerful innate talent.

Before Shi Tianzi had been born, these two had been amongst the top of their generation when they were young, dominating all their peers.

They had once been touted as the double stars of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty and possessed the potential of a Thearch!

Their reputation was only subdued after the birth of Shi Tianzi.

However, there was no doubt about their powers. They definitely belonged to the top-tier level of prodigies.

The appearance of the South and North princes was major pressure on the other prodigies from Eastern Wilderness.

The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint cupped his fists. "We already booked this Golden Phoenix room. Prince, I hope you won't try to interfere!"

There was no way the presence of these two princes could be ignored. Their powers were high to the extreme and nearly at the Soul Formation stage.

If they really got into a fight, the other Eastern Wilderness prodigies were not confident of holding their own at all.

The North Prince snorted. "So what if you have already booked this room? Just cancel it. Whatever I want, no one else shall have it!"

The North Prince had always been very overbearing. Given his power and status, not many people dared to oppose him!

A staff member hurried forward. "Saint, can you please give in and just cancel your booking? You cannot afford to provoke these two princes!"

To be able to flourish Sky Saint City, the Copper Sparrow Pavilion had a very strong backing of their own. Even so, they did not wish to offend these two elite princes. The status of the royal house in the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was unsurpassable.

It was not wise to offend them over a mere room.

The Sky Tripod Saint sneered. "Get lost if you know what's good for you. I need the Golden Phoenix room to host Princess Linglong. Who are you to interfere?"

The Sky Tripod prodigies had always looked down upon the prodigies from Eastern Wilderness. They wouldn't give up on this opportunity to show their disdain in public.

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint could not bear it anymore. He shouted. "You are going too far! Don't you understand the concept of first come, first serve?"

Even the other Eastern Wilderness prodigies were enraged, and they all stood up.

The North Prince glanced at the prodigies scornfully. "If you feel wronged, let's go up to the Void Platform! If you win, I will let you have the Golden Phoenix room!"

Fighting was not allowed in Sky Saint City.

This was a holy land for learning, not a battlefield for fighting.

Jixia Academy strictly forbade personal fights to avoid injuries and deaths. The punishment for violating this rule was severe, and no one would be spared. Otherwise, why would the North Prince talk so much? He would have already attacked.

Nonetheless, one could fight on the Void Platform!

Jixia Academy had created the Void Platform to let its disciples spar.

One could fight legally on the Void Platform!

As long as no one died, no one would be reprimanded.

On the path of cultivation, cultivators must continuously go through battles to improve their power and abilities. If a cultivator was too safe and pampered, they might develop a lazy and nonchalant manner. That would be a very undesirable outcome.

Jixia Academy designated this Void Platform for the sole purpose of encouraging their disciples to spar.

Many disciples ended up using the Void Platform to fight and resolve conflicts.

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint cried out, "Let's fight then! I am not afraid of you!"

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint was the first to stand up and go over to the Void Platform.

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint's eyes gleamed coldly as he sniggered. "Seventh Purple Mansion Saint, I admire your lack of fear for death! I will let you accompany your Sixth Purple Mansion Saint in his grave!"

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint strolled onto the platform.

"Fight!"

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint's mighty purple aura surged as tens of thousands of divine light shot out and covered the entire sky.

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint was not as talented as Qi Shaoxuan, but he was still a Saint and possessed extraordinary talent. He had already cultivated the Purple Mansion Imperial Sutra to a very high level.

Using his Peak-Stage Nascent Soul power to activate the mighty purple aura, it was enough to defeat a normal Heavenly Venerable.

The boundless purple aura crisscrossed to form a purple moon which lit up the entire Void Platform.

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint was nonchalant. "Just an ant trying to shake a tree. Is that all you got?"

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint glowed all over, dazzling beams of light shooting in all directions as a massive tripod avatar appeared behind him.

The massive tripod aura surged mightily. It was at least 10,000 feet high and very forceful. It completely subdued the purple aura.

"Let me teach you a good lesson!

"Tripod Rules the Mountains and Rivers!"

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint gave a cold command and activated the massive silver-white tripod.

Brilliant light rays shot out, dazzling beyond limit.

The tripod cast a shadow across the entire region, its aura intense and heavy. It morphed into a silver rainbow that pressed down on the purple aura.

With this one attack, all were suppressed!

"Purple Sun Rises from the East!"

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint stepped forward as purple aura erupted from his body, morphing into purple clouds, which surged continuously into the purple sun.

The purple sun grew increasingly bigger until it was 10,000 feet and enshrouded in purple light. Purple flames appeared on its surface, which then gushed forth with terrifying power.

Boom!

A thundering explosion!

The tripod hummed with the vibration. The explosion dispersed the purple aura!

Even the Void Platform was shaking from the explosion.

The attacks of those two were terrifying. Even normal Heavenly Venerables might not be able to withstand them.

Luckily, this Void Platform was built to hold against Sage-level practitioners. It was virtually unbreakable.

The two of them were pushed backward from the force of the attacks. Their eyes turned grave.

It was an even match!

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint snorted. "You do have some tricks up your sleeves, but it's not enough. How can your barbaric wasteland compare to our flourishing Middle Ground?"

Clang!

The tripod rang out.

A small silver tripod appeared in front of the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint. It was a mini replica of the avatar behind him.

The small tripod shimmered and exuded a formidable divine aura.

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint activated the massive silver tripod again, and his aura erupted!

Boom!

Waves of divine aura swept across the area like an unstoppable tsunami, turning everything upside down.

The tripod was as mighty as a rock mountain, so heavy and forceful that the pressure shattered the surrounding fabrics of space.

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint's face turned grave. He took out a sharp, silver spear and struck out with it.

The spear's attack was like a hurricane storm, creating countless holes in the fabrics of space!

Boom!

Sparks flew!

The silver tripod clashed with the silver spear. Divine energy surged and roiled in all directions!

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint's expression changed. He felt like he had been hit by a colossal force that shook all his internal organs!

Splat!

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint collapsed after spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His aura was in disarray.

"Damn you!"

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint gnashed his teeth as he glared at the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint.

Supported by the silver tripod, the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint's power grew to impressive heights. His aura was indomitable!

The Eastern Wilderness prodigies were enraged. "Despicable! How dare you make use of a supreme-grade Spirit artifact!"

The small silver tripod was indeed a supreme-grade Spirit artifact. It greatly enhanced the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint's powers.

The Middle Ground prodigies were scornful.

"Country bumpkins. Artifacts are part of your power!"

"Don't blame others for your own poverty. Go ahead and use your artifacts, if you have any!"

A supreme-grade Spirit artifact was very valuable. There were many Heavenly Venerables who did not have any.

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint only had a superior-grade Spirit artifact.

Meanwhile, the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint had already activated his supreme-grade Spirit artifact again and launched another attack at the Seventh Purple Mansion Saint.

The outcome was clear for all to see.

Both were the top of the top among their peers, and there was not much disparity between their powers. However, the difference between a superior-grade and a supreme-grade Spirit artifact was just too wide.

It was like the final straw which broke the camel's back!

Just based on this point alone, the Seventh Purple Mansion Saint was forced backward by the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint, completely unable to counterattack.

The Ninth Purple Mansion Saint shouted anxiously, "I am coming to help you!"

The Eight Purple Mansion Saint also called out, "Me too!"

The Eighth and Ninth Purple Mansion Saints rushed forward.

Purple aura surged from behind them, forming a churning purple sea to help the Seventh Purple Mansion Saint withstand the attack.

The prodigies from the Sky Tripod Sacred Ground snorted.

"Trying to win by numbers?"

"Brothers, let's go!"

"We must let these country bumpkins know our mettle!"

The Sky Tripod prodigies all charged onto the Void Platform and started fighting with the Purple Mansion Saints.

The powers of the prodigies were more or less on par with each other. It should have been an even fight.

Unfortunately, the disparity between their artifacts was just too wide.

The Sky Tripod Sacred Ground was very wealthy, and every single one of their Saints had a supreme-grade Spirit artifact.

Even with the three Purple Mansion Saints joining forces, they were unable to defend themselves. They were completely thrashed.

The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint frowned. "We cannot just stand by and watch our Purple Mansion brothers in danger. Let us Eastern Wilderness prodigies work together as one. Let's go up to help!"

The Purple Mansion Saints were fighting the Sky Tripod Sacred Ground because of the Golden Phoenix room.

The Divine Firmament Saints could not just sit by and do nothing.

"Yes, that's right!"

"Those Middle Ground fellows are too much. They are belittling us."

"Let's fight it out with them. Strike them all dead with our Lightning Fist!"

"Charge on! Life and death do not matter!"

The prodigies from the other Eastern Wilderness sacred grounds were full of rage. They could not endure such an insult!

The prodigies from the various Eastern Wilderness sacred grounds rushed forth to battle the Middle Ground prodigies on the Void Platform.

A Middle Ground prodigy scoffed. "A bunch of ignorant fools. I will kill you all today!"

A great battle between prodigies from different regions erupted on the Void Platform. The scene was chaotic as all sorts of techniques and attacks flew here and there.

Every single Eastern Wilderness prodigy was fighting against a Middle Ground prodigy.

However, things were not looking good for the former.

The disparity between their artifacts was just too great!

The Middle Ground prodigies all had supreme-grade Spirit artifacts, which greatly enhanced their battle prowess.

Some of the favored prodigies even possessed Sage artifacts.

On top of that, amongst the Middle Ground prodigies were also some of the more senior Saints who had already ascended to the Soul Formation stage.

No matter how hard the Eastern Wilderness prodigies fought, they were completely subdued. It was a pathetic sight.

Now, the Eastern Wilderness prodigies were all sprawled on the ground, and their faces were swollen and battered.

The North Prince shook his head with a cold smile. "Eastern Wilderness prodigies, is this all you got?

"You were all defeated before I even made a single move.

"That's it?

"Have your First Generation Saints come out to battle. I can beat 10 of them at once!"

The North Prince was full of disdain for the Eastern Wilderness prodigies. He had yet to make a single move, but the Eastern Wilderness prodigies were already all subdued by the Middle Ground prodigies.

The North Prince felt very disappointed. He boldly challenged the First Generation Saints of the various sacred grounds.

Given his powers, he could afford to behave so arrogantly.

The First Generation Saints of the various sacred grounds were all only Late-Stage Soul Formation cultivators.

As for the North Prince, Shi Ling was just over 100 years old but was already a Mid-Stage Soul Formation cultivator. He had also signed a partner contract with the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race and practiced both the Heavenly Eagle Imperial Sutra and Huang Shi Imperial Sutra.

Given his cultivation level and battle prowess, the North Prince was considered one of the top practitioners of his generation.

If he joined forces with his Golden Eagle partner, he could even defeat a peak Heavenly Venerable.

This was why the North Prince could behave so arrogantly.

Also, the South Prince was around!

The South Prince was just as powerful. He was more reserved and quiet, but he was not to be underestimated.

The South Prince, Shi Kui, was just over 200 years old, and his cultivation level was Late-Stage Soul Formation. He had signed a partner contract with the North Sea Black Turtle race, and his defense was unrivaled.

A normal Heavenly Venerable would not be able to even make a dent in his defense. His cultivation level and power were even higher than the North Prince's.

With these two around, they could probably take on 20 First Generation Saints without any problem!

The North Prince sneered at the crowd. "Throw them out! Princess Linglong is about to arrive soon. Don't spoil her mood!"

The Middle Ground prodigies nodded hastily. They started to toss those Eastern Wilderness prodigies out.

At that moment, a bunch of figures suddenly appeared at the door.

It was Shen Tian and his group.

Everyone was slightly taken aback at the sight.

Zhang Yunting was the first to react. He quickly stepped forward. "Our dear comrades, are you okay?"

The corners of Zhang Yunting's mouth twitched as he looked at the swollen faces of the previous-generation Saints and Saintesses.

Damn!

Didn't they say that they would help us prepare the place first?

Why have they all ended up in this pathetic state?

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint's face was all swollen, and he had gaps in his teeth. "Yunting, I am too useless. I wanted to help you guys prepare the place first, but someone else snatched it from us!"

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint was the previous Divine Firmament Saint, so of course, he knew Zhang Yunting and the rest.

Zhang Yunting sighed and shook his head. "Senior Brother, is there really a need for this? I have always said that we need to value peace and harmony above all. Senior Brother just refuses to listen. Sigh!"

The other prodigies, "..."

Value peace and harmony above all? Bullsh*t! Our faces are all swollen from a sound thrashing. And you are still preaching about peace and harmony!?

Princess Linglong frowned. She realized the issue here. "What were you doing in the first place?"

The North Prince stepped forward. "Linglong, these people didn't know their place. I helped their sacred leaders teach them a good lesson."

Princess Linglong said huffily, "Cousin, how could you guys do this!?"

Princess Linglong felt a sliver of panic.

What should I do?

Cousin beat up Brother Shen's Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters so terribly.

How can I account to Brother Shen for this? Will Brother Shen be angry at me? Will he not like me anymore!?

The more she thought about it, the angrier Princess Linglong became. She glared fiercely at Shi Ling and Shi Kui.

Shi Ling and Shi Kui were dumbfounded.

What is happening? Is Cousin Linglong angry?

We have only beat up a few Eastern Wilderness prodigies. Why is she so angry over this?

Shi Ling and Shi Kui felt very aggrieved, but they did not dare to say anything.

Princess Linglong was much favored by Huang Shi. Their own father also liked her a lot.

Their father would definitely punish them if he knew that they had angered Princess Linglong.

That wouldn't matter too much. He was their dad after all, and wouldn't punish them too harshly. The key point was that those elders were not the only ones who doted on Princess Linglong!

Shi Tianzi, touted as a young paragon, also favored her!

If Cousin Tianzi knew of this, they would definitely be subjected to a major beating!

Those two arrogant princes trembled in fear at the thought of Shi Tianzi, who was younger than them!

A beating by that little monster—not everyone could endure it!

Chapter 423: Top Four Divine Firmament Prodigies, "We Want To Beat Up 10 Of You!"

The Middle Ground prodigies were all indignant.

They didn't expect Princess Linglong to be angry with them over a mere group of Eastern Wilderness prodigies. Even the two great princes were implicated.

Princess Linglong had a very high status, and they did not dare to offend her.

Even so, this didn't mean that they agreed with the situation.

The Ninth Nine Sun Saint muttered quietly, "Didn't we just beat up a few Eastern Wilderness pieces of trash? They are so weak. Who else can they blame but themselves?"

Inside Jixia Academy, the Eastern Wilderness prodigies had always ranked at the bottom. Whether it was resources or backing, there was no way they could compare with the Middle Ground prodigies.

The Eastern Wilderness prodigies had no choice but to accept the fact that they would be bullied. Few of them managed to turn the tables.

They had lost fair and square on the Void Platform, and even Jixia Academy could not intervene.

The Eastern Wilderness prodigies were fuming but helpless.

They had lost. There was nothing more to be said.

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint forced a smile. "My fellow Brothers and Sisters, let's change the venue!"

"No way!"

Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang were both enraged!

Their own Senior Brothers and Sisters had been bullied. How could they endure this insult?

The two of them charged up to the Void Platform and stood there proudly, staring coldly at those Middle Ground prodigies.

"What did you say? I dare you to say it again!" The Ninth Nine Sun Saint snorted. "They willingly sparred with us and were defeated. This only proves that they are weak!"

Although Zhang Yunxi and Princess Linglong had come together, they were only afraid of Princess Linglong and not the rest.

Fang Chang sneered. "Haha, very well! Let's give it a try then! I want to see just how powerful the Middle Ground prodigies are!"

The Ninth Nine Sun Saint glanced at Fang Chang and sniggered. "Who are you? I don't fight with nameless people!"

Fang Chang's eyes turned as sharp as a knife. "I am a true disciple from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's 10th generation!"

The Middle Ground prodigies laughed uproariously!

"You are just a true disciple, yet you dare to challenge me?"

"Fool, don't you know the meaning of death?"

"You are truly an ignorant fool!"

"Brother Nine Sun, teach him a good lesson!"

The Ninth Nine Sun Saint's eyes darkened as a bloodthirsty aura radiated from his body.

An insignificant true disciple dared to challenge him, the Saint from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground!?

The Ninth Nine Sun Saint snorted. "Ignorant fool!"

He leaped onto the Void Platform as three blazing suns rose behind him, mighty and magnificent!

He could see that Fang Chang's cultivation level was just at Late-Stage Nascent Soul.

As for the Ninth Nine Sun Saint, he was already at Peak-Stage Nascent Soul. It would be a piece of cake for him to deal with this Divine Firmament true disciple.

The Nine Sun Sacred Ground and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had never gotten along. They were always secretly competing and fighting with each other.

That was especially so since the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had killed a Nine Sun Sage with a single slash of his sword, which was a great embarrassment to the Nine Sun Sacred Ground.

The Nine Sun Sacred Ground did not dare to confront the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader officially. They could only stir trouble with the Divine Firmament Saints in Jixia Academy.

The Ninth Nine Sun Saint decided to teach Fang Chang a good lesson to recoup some of his sacred ground's dignity!

He made the first move. Three blazing suns rose behind him, bringing with them a searing heat that seemed to incinerate everything around them.

The Nine Sun Sacred Ground's Nine Sun Battle Imperial Sutra had the same origins as the Golden Crow Thearch's Imperial Sutra of Sun.

The Ninth Nine Sun Saint was able to activate three suns even though he was just at Peak-Stage Nascent Soul. His innate talents were clearly extraordinary.

The three suns blazed in mid-air, exuding ferocious flames and terrifying heat energy.

Fang Chang remained unmoved. Lightning surrounded his body as a dazzling divine light surged to the sky.

A massive Qilin avatar appeared behind him, with five-element divine light swirling endlessly around it. Its aura was mighty and magnificent.

Roar!

The Qilin roared as it charged toward the three suns, carrying with it Five Elements Lightning.

Boom!

Divine light shot out everywhere, powerful and formidable!

The two of them were engulfed by boundless divine light, as terrifying shockwaves made the entire space shake and tremble.

Even the fabrics of space would have been shattered by the fearsome force if not for the protective array.

Feeling the aftershock of the attacks on the Void Platform, the Middle Ground prodigies were all secretly shocked.

How did this generation of Divine Firmament true disciples come to be so strong? He could match up to the Ninth Nine Sun Saint?

Standing by the side, Zhang Yunxi's expression was calm as she looked over the crowd. Her gaze landed on the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint.

Zhang Yunxi spoke coldly. "You, come up here!"

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint hollered, "You are asking for it!"

A silly girl was belittling him. How could he not be angry?

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint's aura erupted as he activated his massive tripod and used it to suppress Zhang Yunxi.

The tripod dazzled with silvery rays, making the massive tripod avatar look even more terrifying.

It was like a primordial divine mountain pressing down.

In order to protect his reputation, the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint was activating his supreme-grade Spirit artifact. He was going all out against Zhang Yunxi!

Zhang Yunxi's eyes were as cold as snow. A divine light surrounded her as her aura became even more intense and terrifying.

Waves of dazzling golden Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning erupted from her body, charging into the air with a destructive force.

Lightning bolts shot out in all directions as if it was a Heavenly Tribulation!

A 10,000-feet White Tiger roared, making the fabrics of space vibrate so much that they started to disintegrate. The surrounding space started to collapse and become a pile of debris.

The White Tiger avatar was like a primordial divine beast that had descended on earth. It charged toward the massive tripod.

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint felt the pressure increase substantially. His expression turned grave.

"Tripod Suppresses Sky and Earth!"

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint hollered as he activated the massive tripod avatar toward the White Tiger avatar.

The massive tripod morphed into a white light and engulfed the White Tiger avatar.

The white light then solidified and trapped the White Tiger within the tripod.

Dazzling divine light swirled around the massive tripod, possessing an energetic and vibrant force. It kept shrinking as if it wanted to compress and squash the White Tiger inside into bits!

At the same time, the small tripod moved toward Zhang Yunxi. It was going to attempt the same thing!

Zhang Yunxi snorted. Metal Element Divine Lightning filled the sky and morphed into sharp, harsh lightning blades, shooting straight down.

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere as the two sides clashed!

The small silver tripod was sent flying through the air by the Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning. The remaining lightning headed straight for the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint, causing his body to shake violently!

Lightning flashed and danced, dazzling and spectacular!

In the blink of an eye, the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint was charred black from being electrocuted. His hair stood on end as he collapsed on the Void Platform.

The Middle Ground prodigies were full of disbelief. "How is this possible?"

The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint was very powerful. He could defeat even a Heavenly Venerable with his supreme-grade Spirit artifact!

How did he suffer defeat so quickly in Zhang Yunxi's hands?

Meanwhile, the blazing three suns were finally suppressed by the Qilin.

Five Elements Divine Lightning erupted, spreading across the entire sky.

In the end, the three suns were shattered, and a figure fell from the sky, hitting the floor with a heavy thud.

It was the Ninth Nine Sun Saint. He was kicked right off the Void Platform by Fang Chang!

"What?"

The Middle Ground prodigies were shocked.

"The Ninth Nine Sun Saint also lost!?"

Were the 10th generation Divine Firmament true disciples that formidable?

Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang stood there on the Void Platform, looking down on the Middle Ground prodigies.

"Is this all the Middle Ground prodigies can do? Ha, so lousy!"

The Middle Ground prodigies were enraged. Had their dignity ever been so trampled before?

Two more prodigies rushed forward to stand coldly in front of those two.

They were the seventh generation Saints from the Nine Sun and Black Sky Sacred Grounds. They were both Peak-Stage Nascent Soul practitioners.

They exuded a dazzling divine light, and their aura was extremely powerful.

They were garbed from head to toe in supreme-grade Spirit artifacts. This greatly enhanced their battle prowess!

"Who are you to insult the dignity of the Middle Ground prodigies?"

The two seventh-generation Saints snorted. They activated their supreme-grade Spirit artifacts and attacked those two.

Down below, the Eastern Wilderness prodigies shouted.

"You are so shameless!"

"You failed to defeat us and so changed your gear!"

"And you are even wearing a full set of supreme-grade Spirit artifacts just to fight a couple of juniors!"

Naturally, the Eastern Wilderness prodigies were enraged. They had been defeated by the Middle Ground prodigies earlier not because their abilities were lacking but only because of the disparity in their artifacts.

And now, these two Middle Ground prodigies were going to use the same method to fight Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang.

If they weren't already injured, they would have charged forward to fight again!

The Middle Ground prodigies didn't care. They couldn't be bothered about those people. It was obvious that they didn't think there was anything wrong with relying on their gear to gain an advantage!

Beams of dazzling divine light shot out of the supreme-grade Spirit artifacts. They radiated with a fearsome aura, causing the surrounding fabrics of space to shake and vibrate.

The Void Platform was instantly shrouded by endless divine light. It was so blinding that no one could see clearly.

The two seventh-generation Saints could see that Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang possessed extraordinary power. They had already practiced the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra to very high levels.

If they fought them the normal way, they might not be able to win. Luckily, they had bountiful resources. Most Heavenly Venerables might not even own a single supreme-grade Spirit artifact, but the two of them did.

The two seventh-generation Saints didn't believe that they would not be able to subdue those two with their set of supreme-grade Spirit artifacts.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Sounds of explosion rang out on the Void Platform!

Dazzling divine light spread across the entire area, piercing into the fabrics of space.

A terrifying shockwave was created, exuding a spine-chilling aura. It was a fearsome battle.

The Middle Ground prodigies were very confident. Given their power and their full set of supreme-grade Spirit artifacts, it was enough to suppress all the other same-level Eastern Wilderness Saints.

It would be a piece of cake for them to defeat these two 10th generation kids.

Crash!

Crash!

Sounds of bodies colliding rang out.

Within the boundless light, two figures shot out and landed heavily on the ground. A large cloud of dust and dirt flew up.

"I knew it. How can prodigies from that barbaric land compare to Middle Ground?"

Some of the Saints sneered, thinking that they had won.

But after the dust settled, the Middle Ground prodigies were completely stunned.

"B-brothers... How... How is it that you two also lost!?"

The Middle Ground prodigies were totally thunderstruck. The two figures who had been sent flying out were the two seventh-generation Saints.

Even two seventh-generation Saints garbed in full sets of supreme-grade Spirit artifacts could not defeat them?

No way... How can that be... Impossible!

The two seventh-generation Saints crawled up from the ground, looking very wretched.

The Seventh Black Sky Saint's eyes were bloodshot with tears. "Those two are so unethical! They used a Sage artifact to beat me. My face is all swollen!"

Half of the Seventh Black Sky Saint's face was all swollen. His supreme-grade Spirit artifacts were dull and listless. They were as good as garbage!

The Seventh Nine Sun Saint was likewise in tears. "They are so vicious! I... I was struck over 80 times! My teeth have fallen out!"

His supreme-grade Spirit artifacts were full of holes, and his two front teeth were missing.

The Middle Ground prodigies felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at those two. Even if they were to go up now, they would end up in the same dire state!

Zhang Yunting smiled. "First Senior Brother, you went a bit too far. How could you strike him over 80 times? Was that really necessary? We should still value peace and harmony above all."

Upon hearing his words, the corners of the lips of the crowd couldn't help twitching.

Go ahead and stop your Senior Brother then!

Talking about peace and harmony while smiling as you watch those Saints endure a beating.

Who the hell would believe you!?

You are a wolf in sheep's clothing!

The light dissipated. Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang reappeared.

One held the Golden Phoenix Sacred Sword, while the other held the Domineering Dragon Spear.

The aura of those weapons was very formidable. They exuded the intense pressure of a Sage.

The Middle Ground prodigies' eyes narrowed. They were indeed Sage artifacts!

No wonder the two seventh-generation Saints lost!

How could supreme-grade Spirit artifacts compete with Sage artifacts?

The Middle Ground prodigies asked, "You guys used Sage artifacts?"

The Eastern Wilderness prodigies sneered. "So what if they did?"

"You are just a bunch of poor losers. Go ahead and use your Sage artifacts, if you have any!"

The Eastern Wilderness prodigies mocked and ridiculed.

They were so pathetic and frustrated earlier. It felt so good to finally get back at them!

Looking at how those two Middle Ground prodigies appeared even more wretched than them now—it was a great feeling!

They deserved it! You were the ones who bullied us in the same manner earlier!

The Eastern Wilderness prodigies were also inwardly shocked. They didn't expect these two to have Sage artifacts.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground managed to grow so rich over the past years?

The corners of the lips of the Middle Ground prodigies twitched wildly. That bunch of Eastern Wilderness prodigies was actually mocking them!

One of the more senior Saints took out two Sage artifacts and handed them to the two saints. "Use these Sage artifacts to teach them a good lesson! We cannot allow others to insult Middle Ground's dignity!"

The Middle Ground sacred grounds were very wealthy. They also had Sage artifacts.

Nonetheless, Sage artifacts were very precious. They would usually only be given to Saints at the Soul Formation stage, and they had to be very exemplary practitioners.

Those senior Saints couldn't bear to see Middle Ground's dignity being trampled in this manner. As a result, they were willing to lend their Sage artifacts to those two seventh-generation Saints.

Grasping the Sage artifacts, the two seventh-generation Saints suddenly felt their confidence return. They felt able and mighty again.

"Everyone, don't worry. We will teach them a good lesson!"

The two seventh-generation Saints charged forward with the Sage artifacts. They were going to recoup their losses!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Crash, crash, crash!

Before long, the two seventh-generation Saints... returned in the same manner, but their appearance was somewhat different.

Only half of the Seventh Black Sky Saint's face was swollen earlier. Now, his entire face was puffed up. His whole head was as bloated as a pig's!

The Seventh Nine Sun Saint was even worse. All his front teeth had been knocked off.

Even with Sage artifacts, they were still unable to defeat Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang!

Naturally, after losing twice in a row and in front of so many people, the two seventh-generation Saints were nearly in tears.

Even the Eastern Wilderness prodigies couldn't help feeling a little sorry for them.

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint lisped through the gap in his own teeth. "Hey buddy, is there really a need for this?

"You were willing to sacrifice your own teeth to match me?

"Both of us have missing teeth now, but you are missing more than me!

"You are too nice! I cannot accept your kindness!"

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint wanted to pretend to be grave and solemn, but he couldn't resist sniggering.

When one had lost their front teeth, it was obvious for all to see.

The Seventh Nine Sun Saint's face turned red from anger, but he could barely speak properly. "Sssjackssass!"

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint understood him perfectly, but he pretended to mishear. He replied sincerely, "Did you say Junior Sister? Yes!

"The one standing on that platform who defeated you is my Junior Sister!"

Splat!

The Seventh Nine Sun Saint vomited blood. No one knew whether it was from internal injuries or being overly angered.

The skies cleared again. Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang were enshrouded in lightning. They looked just like Gods of Lightning, peering down on the Middle Ground prodigies.

"Is this all the Middle Ground prodigies have? Just that? So lousy! Better send your Heavenly Venerables instead!"

Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang had both consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. Their constitution and innate potential had increased to very high levels.

Their power was way above that of a normal prodigy.

Nascent Soul Middle Ground prodigies were of no threat to them at all!

The Middle Ground prodigies were enraged and snarled.

"Arrogant youngsters!"

"We will teach you a good lesson today. To fear and respect us!"

A senior saint from Middle Ground couldn't sit still any longer. The Middle Ground prodigies' reputation would be flushed down the drain if this continued!

10 figures stepped out. They were the senior Saints from the various sacred grounds. They were very powerful and already at Early-Stage Soul Formation.

The 10 of them together exuded an aura that was mind-blowing. Even the color of the sky started to change.

Waves of arrays spread out, shooting straight up to the clouds. The sun was blocked out, and the skies dimmed.

These senior Saints were all fuming. They were already activating their full power, ready to give those two a good thrashing!

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, let me help you!"

Zhao Hao charged up. The blazing divine fire surrounding his body morphed into a crimson phoenix, which shrilled into the skies.

Zhang Yunting also stepped forward and formed a Green Dragon avatar to help Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi.

The four top prodigies of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had now joined forces to battle the Middle Ground prodigies!

The 10 Middle Ground Heavenly Venerables were unmoved.

"So what if there's another two of you? It's useless!"

"Even if all the Eastern Wilderness prodigies joined forces, you will all be kicked off the Void Platform today!"

The 10 Heavenly Venerables were extremely arrogant. They were amongst the top practitioners in their respective sacred grounds!

Given their battle prowess, how could they possibly fail to defeat a few Nascent Soul juniors?

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Four voices hollered into the skies!

The four Divine Firmament prodigies didn't waste time talking—terrifying lightning shot out of their bodies, transforming into a great sea of lightning! This was more than enough to signal their intention!

So what if their opponents were Heavenly Venerables?

Given their current power, they could easily thrash them all!

"Kill!"

The 10 Heavenly Venerables hollered coldly as terrifying avatars emerged.

The fabrics of space shattered, making many Nascent Soul cultivators shiver in fear.

The rage of a Heavenly Venerable was enough to turn the world upside down!

Fang Chang stepped forward first and shouted, "Divine Firmament Array Formation!"

Fang Chang's Mighty Qilin avatar was the first to appear, followed by a White Tiger avatar, a Green Dragon avatar, and a Crimson Phoenix avatar.

The boundless avatars spread across the area, blocking out the entire sky. The whole region was engulfed in shadows.

Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered, shimmering and exuding a destructive divine power. It was like this piece of earth was about to be utterly destroyed.

This was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array. When supported by the four top Divine Firmament prodigies, its power was enough to defeat Heavenly Venerables!

Boom!

Lightning boomed and flashed!

The lightning clouds gathered above the Void Platform, radiating with a spine-chilling aura.

The Seventh Nine Sun Saint trembled. He now had an aversion to lightning. After all, he had been struck by lightning hundreds of times earlier during his fight.

The Seventh Nine Sun Saint lisped through the gap in his teeth, "Ssthiss sarrays ssformationss siss ssquitess ssfiercess!"

The Middle Ground prodigies, "???"

What the hell are you saying?

After losing most of his teeth, no one could understand his words.

Unexpectedly, the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint stepped forward with a smile.

"I know! He said: This array formation is quite fierce!"

The Middle Ground and Eastern Wilderness prodigies, "???"

How did you manage to understand that?

Wow!

The Seventh Nine Sun Saint was also stunned.

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint turned around and smiled.

At that moment, the Seventh Nine Sun Saint's heart warmed.

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint and I have such good chemistry!

Chapter 424: Great Heavenly Dragon, World Noble Ksitigarbha!

The Middle Ground elites did not pay much attention to the array formation set up by the four Divine Firmament prodigies.

No matter how strong the array formation was, it was only formed by a group of Nascent Soul cultivators. Could it be stronger than the 10 great Heavenly Venerables?

The sixth-generation Saint from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground smiled and said, "Old Seven, have you been beaten silly? What nonsense are you talking about?"

The 10 great Heavenly Venerables were all the past Saints of Middle Ground's sacred grounds. They were all peak talents.

Wouldn't it be easy for them to crack the Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array with the ten of them joining forces?

The Sixth Nine Sun Saint continued. "Old Seven, you have to be calm when you encounter something!

"Do you understand?

"How can this mere array formation suppress—

"Gosh, what the hell is this?"

The Sixth Nine Sun Saint had originally planned to teach his Junior Brother not to make a fuss, but when he saw the scene on the Void Platform in the sky, his mouth opened wide, and his jaw almost dropped!

On the Void Platform in the sky, pitch-black tribulation clouds covered the entire sky.

Streaks of dazzling tribulation lightning gathered together, releasing five-element divine light, appearing dazzling and resplendent.

Endless arcs of lightning interweaved together, constantly fusing together, creating arcane divine thunder.

The 10 Heavenly Venerables trembled in shock. They could feel just how terrifying the Great Five Elements Divine Lightning was. Perhaps not even a Heavenly Venerable would be able to resist it!

Boom!

The tribulation clouds rumbled as they erupted and poured down, and it shook space to the point of shattering.

The Mixed Divine Lightning transformed into a savage beast, roaring ferociously, its aura looking unstoppable!

The White Tiger Tribulation Lightning roared into the heavens, while the Vermillion Bird Tribulation Lightning lingered in the nine heavens. The Azure Dragon Divine Lightning pierced through the universe, while the Qilin Tribulation Lightning suppressed Middle Ground!

Terrifying tribulation lightning swept through the heavens and earth, instantly enveloping the 10 Heavenly Venerables. The lightning was as dazzling as fireworks.

"All of you, let's join forces and set up an array formation!"

If they fought alone, they would definitely suffer greatly.

The 10 Heavenly Venerables instantly moved. Most of them took out their Sage artifacts, while the weaker ones held a supreme-grade Spirit artifact.

Numerous treasures floated above their heads, forming a dense curtain of light that enveloped everyone.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled as it resounded and echoed through the clouds!

The Void Platform was covered in endless lightning radiance as if the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning was destroying the world.

Beams of dazzling flames shot out.

Tribulation lightning crashed into the barrier of light in front of the 10 Heavenly Venerables, causing it to tremble as if it would shatter at any moment!

The Middle Ground geniuses were astounded.

The Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array's might was too terrifying. Even the 100 Heavenly Venerables were suppressed.

If they were in the center of the lightning tribulation, they would have long been defeated and severely injured.

Were the Divine Firmament true disciples this powerful?

Or were all the Eastern Wilderness geniuses this powerful?

The Middle Ground elites looked at this generation's Eastern Wilderness prodigies with fear.

Everyone was paying attention to the Void Platform. Only Shen Tian turned to look at the Eastern Wilderness geniuses.

He looked at the Eastern Wilderness prodigies' forehead with shining eyes.

He had struck it big this time!

This was not just a group of Senior Brothers and Sisters—this was destined to be a bountiful harvest!

Looking at the Eastern Wilderness paragons' golden halos, Shen Tian felt like he was about to fly in joy!

He would be able to get anything he wants from now on with this bunch of Children of Providence!

At that moment, the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint walked over and patted Shen Tian on the shoulder. "Little Junior Brother!"

Shen Tian, "???"

What is going on?

Am I not wearing a mask? How did my identity get exposed so quickly? Could it be that even this mask can't conceal my handsome appearance?

As if sensing Shen Tian's astonishment, the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint said helplessly, "Are you curious how I recognized you?"

Shen Tian nodded dumbly. He really didn't know.

Could it be that the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint was a wise man who had descended to the mortal world and could recognize him through the various clues left behind by himself?

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint pondered for a moment before saying helplessly, "Because you are wearing the Saint's attire!"

Shen Tian, "..."

The Senior Brother of the previous generation was indeed wise!

It seemed like he had to keep a low profile in the future.

Shen Tian blushed. "Senior Brother is indeed smart!"

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint grinned. "Haha, everyone says so!

"But Junior Brother, I think your clothes look better than mine. Is Master biased and specially customized a new Saint uniform for you?

"You have to know that when I was the Divine Firmament Saint, I wore what was left of my Senior Brothers!"

The previous Divine Firmament Saints, "..."

Old Nine, could you not be so straightforward!?

Can you be any more shameless!?

Is he really going to let others know that his family is poor!?

However, it was true.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had nearly been crippled after the war 10,000 years ago, causing numerous heritages and resources to be lost.

Only after Zhang Longyuan succeeded the sacred leader position did he barely relieve the heavy burden of reviving the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

All these years, they had been living a very poor life!

None of the past Divine Firmament Saints were equipped with top-grade equipment. It could be said that they were very poor.

Otherwise, the first Saint, Yue Yunde, would not have taken the path of tomb raiding, robbing tombs on his own to get rich.

The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint went forward and pulled the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint away.

"Junior Brother, ignore this fool!

"Tell Senior Brother, has the sacred ground managed to escape poverty and become rich? Why have all of you become so fierce?"

The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint had panda-like eyes, and his face was filled with curiosity. It was mainly because he saw the Sage artifacts in Zhang Yunxi and the others' hands, which made his heart itch.

What!? Since when could the sacred ground afford a sage-level artifact? Then wouldn't we be able to find Master and obtain a few Sage artifacts too?

After suffering so much poverty, he could finally taste the sweetness of riches!

At that thought, the Seventh Divine Firmament Saint could not help but giggle as his body trembled.

Ssss!

When the Seventh Divine Firmament Saint laughed foolishly, it affected his injuries. It was so painful that he gnashed his teeth and took a few deep breaths.

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint sniggered. "Seventh Brother, I told you not to push me away. Now you know what pain is, right!? Serves you right, hehehe!"

Ssss!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Shen Tian was dumbstruck as he looked at his two Senior Brothers.

Were these two clowns really the former Divine Firmament Saints?

No wonder the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had been unable to rise to prominence after so many years of development!

Master, I finally understand your pain.

Shen Tian wore a resigned expression as he produced two white jade bottles. "Senior Brother, let's recuperate first! Junior Brother has some Nirvana Holy Liquid here that can help Senior Brother recover."

No matter what, he was still his Senior Brother. Furthermore, he was a person with a golden providence halo.

Shen Tian thought he should express his gratitude!

Yes, he was just showing concern for his Senior Brother. He was not planning on fleecing him!

"Junior Brother is so considerate. I'll be fine after resting for a few days. There's no need for Nirvana—"

What? 'Nirvana Holy Liquid!?

The Ninth and Seventh Divine Firmament Saints stared wide-eyed at the white jade bottles in Shen Tian's hand.

How could they not know what the Nirvana Holy Liquid was?

That was a sacred healing elixir!

A treasure that even a Sage would be tempted to steal was taken out of their Junior Brother's pocket just like that?

However, that was to be expected. The sacred ground was so rich now that it could even give out Sage artifacts, let alone the Nirvana Holy Liquid.

The two Saints received the white jade bottle with both hands while verbally declining with politeness. "Little Junior Brother, how can we accept this?"

Gulp, gulp!

Before Shen Tian could reply, these two Saints were already gulping down the holy liquid.

Yes, although they said no verbally, their bodies were very honest!

Their bodies emitted divine light as all their injuries were healed.

"Burp, sour, sweet, and delicious! As expected of the Nirvana Holy Liquid!"

The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint smacked his lips in satisfaction!

On the side, the paragons of the other sacred grounds were all stunned. They looked at Shen Tian and then at their Junior Brothers and couldn't help but feel resentful.

Why was it that the other Saints' Junior Brother was so generous!

Yet, their own Junior Brothers had never done the same for them!?

Damn!

Why was the difference between people so huge!

However, their faces were soon filled with excitement. This was because Shen Tian also handed over a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid to them. "Senior Brothers were injured because of us. I feel bad. Please accept it as a token of my appreciation."

The other Saints also had good providence and would become part of his fleecing plan.

Shen Tian wouldn't favor one over the other. After all, Buddha had once said, "Everyone is equal!"

The Eastern Wilderness paragons could not help but sigh. "The Divine Firmament Saint is so generous. We are ashamed!"

They originally wanted to welcome Shen Tian and the others, but they didn't expect to receive Shen Tian's gift instead.

The Eastern Wilderness geniuses all felt embarrassed, but they still accepted it. After all, no one could refuse a divine healing elixir like the Nirvana Holy Liquid!

The Eastern Wilderness geniuses consumed the Nirvana Holy Liquid one after another, and all their injuries were instantly healed.

The Middle Ground geniuses were astounded.

Sss! Does this boy have a mine in his house? The Nirvana Holy Liquid was delivered by piles, and each of them was given a bottle?

This was especially so for the Seventh Nine Sun Saint, who felt even more upset.

They had just been beaten up and were already unhappy.

Fortunately, the Eastern Wilderness geniuses had also been in a miserable state, so they felt some comfort.

But now that the Eastern Wilderness geniuses had recovered, they were still in immense pain.

The disparity in his heart instantly reached its peak!

Without the Nirvana Holy Liquid, he could only eat lemons!

How pitiful!

Finally, the situation on the Void Platform changed.

The 10 Heavenly Venerables used the power of their Sage artifacts to forcefully block the Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array.

However, the 10 Heavenly Venerables discovered that the speed at which they expended their energy was much faster than the four Divine Firmament prodigies. If they were to continue like this, they would not be able to withstand it and would soon be defeated.

A Heavenly Venerable Saint shouted, "Fellow Daoists, we only need to defeat one person to break the array formation."

The Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array's core were the four Divine Firmament prodigies. As long as one of them made a mistake, the array formation could be broken.

The other Heavenly Venerables nodded. They had also discovered this problem.

Someone immediately said, "Everyone split up and attack!"

They had to take extreme measures. If this dragged on, they would lose face if they lost to the four Divine Firmament prodigies!

After all, they had outnumbered them.

The 10 Heavenly Venerables split into four groups and rushed toward the four of them.

Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang were the focus of attention. A total of six Heavenly Venerables surrounded them.

After all, the strength they had displayed could not be underestimated.

The remaining four people attacked Zhang Yunting and Zhao Hao, respectively. They believed that these two people were the weakest and easiest to defeat!

But was it really as they thought?

Upon seeing the two Heavenly Venerables, Zhao Hao shouted, "Good timing!"

Chi!

The Nan Ming Li Fire in Zhao Hao's body exploded and gathered on his body, turning into raging flames.

A scarlet glow flashed in his hand as the gigantic Red-Black Cloud Staff appeared in his hand, causing the Nan Ming Li Fire's aura to become even more powerful!

Zhao Hao held the Red-Black Cloud Staff with both hands, and the Nan Ming Li Fire on his body flowed into the staff.

The aura of the Red-Black Cloud Staff became increasingly terrifying and dazzling!

"Raging Flames of the Red-Black Cloud Staff!" Zhao Hao roared as he lifted the gigantic Red-Black Cloud Staff and smashed it down!

An enormous crimson red glow shot out horizontally with a terrifying imposing aura that seemed as if it was crushing an irresistible force!

In that instant, it seemed as if the void had shattered, and the heaven and earth were collapsing. Massive spatial cracks tore open, displaying its exceptional power!

The two Heavenly Venerables were shocked. They could actually feel the threat of death and immediately summoned their Sage artifacts to defend themselves!

Dazzling divine light exploded forth, causing heaven and earth to dim in comparison.

The two Heavenly Venerables coughed up large mouthfuls of blood as their figures shot backward, smashing heavily into the edge of the platform.

"How is that possible?"

The two Heavenly Venerables were incomparably shocked. They hadn't expected a Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator to be able to unleash such a terrifying attack, directly injuring them.

Although there was the augmentation of the array formation, Zhao Hao's strength was also an undeniable factor that allowed him to injure them.

The main reason was that Zhao Hao had consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, causing his constitution to undergo a metamorphosis.

A Late-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had undergone the Golden Core 10th Refinement Stage was no weaker than the previous Qi Shaoxuan!

It could be said that the current Zhao Hao also possessed the talent of a Thearch!

As such, an Early-Stage Heavenly Venerable might not be a match for Zhao Hao.

The Middle Ground prodigies shuddered violently, their eyes filled with disbelief!

In shock, the Sixth Nine Sun Saint said, "How did the fifth-generation Senior Brother lose to a Nascent Soul junior?"

"Impossible, impossible, impossible!"

The Sixth Nine Sun Saint didn't believe that one of these two Heavenly Venerables was their sacred ground's Saint.

No one could believe that the two of them were defeated by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Eastern Wilderness prodigies were incredibly excited!

This was especially true for the current generation of Saints and elite disciples. They were simply honored.

They never expected that not only did they have the Divine Firmament Saint, but they also had the protection of the four Divine Firmament prodigies. This was simply too blissful!

With such thick thighs, they wouldn't be afraid of being bullied even if they went to Middle Ground!

Upon seeing the intense battle, Bodhisattva Kuduo took a step forward. "This battle has made my blood boil! I wonder if anyone is willing to spar with me!"

Yes, Kuduo was a battle maniac just like Fang Chang!

However, the Sonic Thunder's Buddhist Lord had always made him read and copy Buddhist scriptures. There was no chance for him to find someone to spar with.

Now that he had finally arrived in Middle Ground, he was no longer under the control of Sonic Thunder's Buddhist Lord.

Kuduo felt as if he was in seventh heaven.

Kuduo rushed onto the arena and looked at the Middle Ground prodigies. He smiled and said, "Amitabha. This poor monk's name is Kuduo. May I know which fellow Daoist is willing to spar with me?"

Kuduo's entire body was emitting a resplendent Buddhist light that was extremely bright. It enveloped him completely, making him look like a peerless Buddha.

Strange phenomena appeared behind him, blotting out the sky and covering the sun. Golden Buddhic light shone brightly in the sky.

Under the illumination of the Buddhist light, one could vaguely see 800 Arhats and the mighty heavenly dragons suppressing the void.

The Middle Ground paragons revealed a fearful expression. They hadn't expected that there were so many peerless experts from Eastern Wilderness in this generation.

The four Divine Firmament prodigies had overpowered them with their Nascent Soul cultivation. Even the combined forces of 10 Heavenly Venerables were suppressed.

Now that this Buddhist disciple came out to challenge them, they had no choice but to take him seriously.

Just by looking at the strange phenomena behind Kuduo, one would feel that he was also very strong.

This person was probably an accomplished monk from the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground!

If they were to lower their guard like before, they would likely suffer a miserable defeat.

The Middle Ground geniuses wore a stern expression and did not agree immediately.

After all, they had already learned a lesson from the previous match. Kuduo's strength was not inferior to Fang Chang and the others. If they were to send up a Nascent Soul cultivator up against him, it would be equivalent to just sending vegetables to be chopped.

Furthermore, Fang Chang was only a core disciple, while Kuduo was the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's Bodhisattva. Shouldn't he be stronger?

After careful consideration, the Fifth Nine Yin Saint slowly walked out. His cultivation had reached the Early-Stage Soul Formation, and he could be considered a powerhouse amongst the many Saints.

However, when he faced Bodhisattva Kuduo, his face was filled with caution and even fear!

He had to strike first!

He thus seized the initiative, attacking Kuduo first.

However, Kudo was dumbfounded. His mouth twitched crazily.

Stop messing around!

Isn't this obvious bullying!?

This poor monk is only at Mid-Stage Nascent Soul. Is there a need to send an Early-Stage Heavenly Venerable to fight against me?

Is it necessary? Is it really necessary?

This poor monk only wanted to spar because he was envious, not because he wanted to be beaten!

The Fifth Nine Yin Saint didn't know what Bodhisattva Kuduo was thinking. He immediately released a powerful aura to attack.

The Qi of extreme Yin surged within his body, and rays of light shot out in all directions before transforming into two enormous black pythons that coiled around Bodhisattva Kuduo.

The black pythons opened their mouths wide like a hot knife cutting through butter, emitting a profound Yin aura as if they wanted to freeze one's bloodline.

Evidently, this fellow did not hold back at all and treated Bodhisattva Kuduo as a formidable enemy.

Kuduo had a bitter expression on his face. He could not retreat and could only brace himself to go forward.

Fortunately, Kuduo quickly entered his fighting state, and the boundless Buddhist light within his body erupted.

After all, according to what his Master had said, Buddhism should not lose!

"Insignificant skill, you actually dare to show off your skills before an expert!"

The Buddhist light behind Kuduo's back became more and more resplendent, condensing into a great heavenly dragon that stretched across the void, looking holy and imposing!

At that moment, he was using his Mighty Dragon Demon Subjugation.

Kuduo made a hand seal and said solemnly, "Great Heavenly Dragon, World Noble Ksitigarbha, Wisdom of all Buddhas, Wisdom of Mahānata!"

Boom!

In an instant, the resplendent Buddhist light converged into a dazzling golden dragon that tore at the black python.

The dragon's roar pierced straight into the nine heavens!

The mighty sky dragon and the black python were locked in combat. Endless divine light shot out, causing the Void Platform to tremble.

Endless Buddhist light and great Yin energy interweaved and curled about, making the sky split into two colors.

After all, he was the Sonic Thunder Bodhisattva and could restrain the Qi of extreme Yin to some extent.

The might of the dragon was currently evenly matched with the great Yin black python.

The Middle Ground paragons were somewhat astonished. "This Bodhisattva is indeed extraordinary, and his Dharma is so profound!"

"As expected of an accomplished monk. Luckily, we didn't go up just now!"

However, they soon discovered that something was amiss.

Even though the dragon looked ferocious, it clearly lacked strength.

In the next moment, the dignified heavenly dragon was actually torn apart by the great Yin black python, causing its body to be covered in injuries.

Kuduo's face changed as he hurriedly boosted his Buddhist powers, wanting to hold on.

However, given his Nascent Soul cultivation, how could he contend with a Heavenly Venerable?

Soon, the dragon was completely torn apart as the black python continued charging toward Kuduo.

"Arh!

"No!

"Brother, be gentle, don't hit my face!"

Miserable screams sounded from the Void Platform, making one's scalp go numb!

Bam!

Bam, bam, bam!

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!

A moment later, Kuduo fell from the Void Platform.

The zen robe on his body was in tatters, and his face was bruised and swollen. He looked miserable!

Kuduo covered his swollen face with his hands. His eyes were red, and it was obvious that he felt wronged!

Boohoo, why was that Fang Chang guy able to beat them!?

Why can't I beat them!?

The two of us had fought in the past, and our strength was clearly similar!

Chapter 425: This Is My Time To Shine!

Looking at the huge bump on Kuduo's head, a Middle Ground prodigy could not help but sneer. "As expected of an accomplished monk! He looks like a Buddha that has just descended to the mortal world!"

Previously, the Middle Ground geniuses had been worried that this batch of Eastern Wilderness prodigies would far surpass the previous generations.

From the looks of it now, they were worrying too much!

"So it's not that the Eastern Wilderness elites are all abnormal. It's just the Divine Firmament disciples that are abnormal. The other Eastern Wilderness sacred grounds are nothing to fear!"

Wang Shenxu and Qi Shaoxuan looked at each other, their mouths twitching slightly.

Because of this bald monk, even we have been underestimated!?

The two of them glared at Kuduo and snorted. "How embarrassing!"

Kuduo shrank his neck and covered his face as he wailed miserably. "This poor monk didn't want this to happen either!

"They're bullying me! They sent a Heavenly Venerable to beat me up! They even hung me up and beat me up!"

Kuduo had a head full of bumps, and he was in complete despair.

At that moment, the situation on the platform changed once more.

After Zhao Hao defeated the two Heavenly Venerables, Zhang Yunting also forced two of them to retreat.

Like father, like son, Zhang Yunting had completely inherited the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's style and had hidden his strength too deeply.

Even his biological sister, Zhang Yunxi, might not fully know of Zhang Yunting's true strength.

He had only used the Sage artifact, the Sky Dragon Seven Note Zither, and the two Heavenly Venerables had been unable to approach him.

Zhang Yunting forcefully held back the two Heavenly Venerables. Black smoke rose from their heads as the Divine Firmament Heavenly Lightning Array struck them. Finally, they retreated in defeat!

The battle prowess of the 10 Heavenly Venerables decreased drastically, and they could only turtle up and barely resist.

It would not be long before they were defeated.

The South Prince and North Prince both had a frown on their faces. As the Middle Ground geniuses' leaders, how could they watch their team embarrass themselves?

This was simply slapping their faces!

The North Prince, Shi Ling, could no longer sit still and took the lead to walk out. He controlled the divine rainbow and transformed into dazzling golden light, making him seem like a golden bolt of lightning!

However, Shi Ling did not interfere in the battle between the 10 Heavenly Venerables and the four Divine Firmament prodigies. Instead, he looked down at the Eastern Wilderness paragons.

He shouted coldly, "Where is Divine Firmament Saint? Come up and fight me!"

Shi Ling's eyes were full of disdain as he looked down on everyone. He was like an exceptional monarch that looked down on all living beings.

He already had a plan in mind.

It was only a matter of time before the 10 Heavenly Venerables were defeated. Anyone with eyes could see this.

If he were to forcibly interfere, he would instead be looked down upon by the crowd.

The loss outweighed the gain. This was not a way to redeem the Middle Ground prodigies' pride.

Shi Ling intended to directly challenge the Divine Firmament Saint and regain their dignity.

As the saying goes, "To catch the bandits, one must first catch their leader."

Only the strongest elite disciple could hold the position of the Saint!

As long as he defeated the Divine Firmament Saint, what could the other Divine Firmament disciples do?

This way, not only would he be able to restore the pride of the geniuses from the Middle Ground, but he would also be able to establish his authority.

This generation's Divine Firmament Saint was famous throughout the five regions, and everyone knew of him!

To be mentioned by Huang Shi, his strength was definitely not simple!

However, Shi Ling didn't care. Among the Middle Ground younger generation, apart from Shi Tianzi, no one else could make him feel restraining fear.

Today, he wanted to see how strong the Divine Firmament Saint was.

Shi Ling's eyes were as sharp as golden blades as they swept across the Eastern Wilderness geniuses.

This was one of the top elites from Middle Ground, a true young Heavenly Venerable.

Could the Divine Firmament Saint defeat such a powerful existence?

Yes, he definitely could!

After all, he was the legendary Divine Firmament Saint!

Because they had all received help from him, the Eastern Wilderness paragons had a favorable impression of Shen Tian.

They firmly believed that Shen Tian could win honor for Eastern Wilderness!

He was the hope of the entire Eastern Wilderness!

However, before Shen Tian could say anything, a loud roar was heard. "A mere Soul Formation cultivator doesn't need Brother Shen to tend to!"

Qi Shaoxuan soared into the sky. He stepped on the purple Qi rainbow and flew onto the platform.

Shi Ling's eyes remained calm as he indifferently asked, "Who are you?"

Qi Shaoxuan was full of fighting spirit. "Purple Mansion Saint, Qi Shaoxuan!"

Qi Shaoxuan could feel how powerful Shi Ling was. He was an opponent he longed to go against.

Shi Ling's face was filled with disdain as he sneered, "Nascent Soul stage? This prince will defeat you like slaughtering a dog. It's better to let the Divine Firmament Saint come up!"

Qi Shaoxuan said indifferently, "I'm enough to deal with you!"

Vast amounts of purple energy erupted from his body, purple mist overflowing into the heavens as if he was going to overturn heaven and earth.

The Heaven's Halberd pierced through the void, tearing apart a large expanse of space as it erupted with an incomparably mighty aura.

The moment such power was unleashed, even the Middle Ground prodigies were secretly shocked.

They never expected Eastern Wilderness to have such a powerful paragon other than the Divine Firmament Saint!

Or could this person be a fake, just like that bald monk?

The Middle Ground paragons were very curious. They wanted to see what capabilities Qi Shaoxuan had to dare challenge the North Prince!

Shi Ling's eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered and said, "Interesting. Rumor has it that the Purple Mansion Saint has the talent of a Thearch! I would like to see what this so-called Thearch talent is capable of!"

Resplendent golden light blossomed behind Shi Ling, condensing into an incomparably massive Golden Eagle avatar.

The divine eagle soared into the sky, enshrouding heaven and earth in boundless golden light.

A large saber appeared in his hand, engraved with strange divine patterns.

"This is a supreme Sage artifact, the Universe Sun Moon Saber. I will use it to suppress you today!"

Shi Ling's pupils erupted with golden light as his aura became terrifying. Behind him, the Golden Eagle avatar surged, causing the sun and moon to lose their color.

Divine light shot out of the Universe Sun Moon Saber. It was extremely dazzling and carried a boundless divine might as it pierced through the void.

Shi Ling stepped forward with the Universe Sun Moon Saber in hand. His might seemed terrifying as if he wanted to shatter the moon and shatter the mountains and rivers.

Qi Shaoxuan's expression did not change. The Heaven's Halberd in his hand let out a ring that resounded in all directions.

Boundless violet Qi transformed into a gigantic purple dragon that seemed capable of devouring the sun, moon, and stars!

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere!

The two of them instantly collided, and their clash seemed to shake heaven and the earth, causing space to collapse completely.

The Middle Ground paragons were stunned. "This guy is so strong!"

"His combat ability is on a completely different level from that fake monk who was pretending to be mysterious!"

Everyone was amazed. To be able to contend with Shi Ling, who was a Heavenly Venerable, his talent could be considered terrifying.

Kuduo, "???"

"Why does it involve me again? This poor monk feels bitter!"

Kudo grimaced, drawing circles while having doubts about his life.

"Good boy, you do have some skill, but your cultivation is too weak!"

This was the first time Shi Ling had encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator who could contend with him, so he was rather interested.

However, Qi Shaoxuan's cultivation realm was at a severe disadvantage. Given Shi Ling's Mid-Stage Soul Formation cultivation, suppressing a Nascent Soul cultivator was a simple matter!

Qi Shaoxuan's battle intent soared. "You are merely a Soul Formation cultivator. I can break the difference with a snap of my fingers!'

To Qi Shaoxuan, Shi Ling wasn't a formidable opponent.

He had previously tried to challenge experts from all places and walked the path of invincibility.

It was a pity that he had met Shen Tian, who made him question his life.

However, apart from him, Qi Shaoxuan had not lost to anyone before at all!

He boasted that he would never be weaker than others in his life and that he would definitely become the number one powerhouse in the world in the future.

Even a Mid-Stage Heavenly Venerable wasn't enough to make him feel fear!

The purple aura in Qi Shaoxuan's body surged wildly and turned into a long river!

The surging energy circulated around his body continuously before soaring into the sky and condensing into a supreme avatar!

The Purple Dragon avatar roared through the universe while the Purple Mountain and River phenomenon suppressed the world. The Golden Eagle avatar pierced straight into the nine heavens, its momentum like a rainbow!

Qi Shaoxuan's aura became more and more powerful. He couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and roar, "Since I have been born in Eastern Wilderness, I, Qi Shaoxuan, will make the Eastern Wilderness prosper forever!

"Breakthrough to the Soul Formation Stage, success!"

In an instant, the purple Qi entered Qi Shaoxuan's body. His cultivation level rapidly increased. With the support of the purple Qi, divine light surrounded his body, and dense mist overflowed!

Boom!

Qi Shaoxuan's body trembled slightly, and his aura transformed into a vast ocean as he successfully broke through to the Soul Formation stage.

A large amount of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's medicinal power accumulated in his body was mobilized at this moment to advance.

After breaking through to the Soul Formation stage, Qi Shaoxuan's aura became even more powerful. Purple aura surrounded his body, making him look like a God of War.

Shi Ling nodded and said in satisfaction, "This is more interesting!"

"Fight!"

As Qi Shaoxuan broke through, Shi Ling's fighting spirit was ignited.

The Universe Sun Moon Saber in his hand shone brightly. Runes flowed rapidly, forming a scene where the sun and moon intersected, giving rise to a huge saber beam!

The saber beam shook heaven and the earth, causing the grand array of the Void Platform to tremble, looking as if it was about to completely shatter!

"Universe Sun Moon Slash!"

Shi Ling let out a long howl and heavily slashed out with his blade, annihilating the endless void.

"Dragon Cloud Sky Shattering Attack!"

The Dragon Qi in Qi Shaoxuan's body was vast and mighty. Purple Qi rose, and the Heaven's Halberd swept across the sky, shooting out incomparably terrifying halberd beams.

In an instant, the saber beam and the halberd beam collided.

Rumble!

An earth-shattering explosion sent both of them flying.

Soon, these two people continued to charge forward. The speed of their battle was extremely fast, causing the arena to be filled with afterimages.

The two of them were also battle maniacs. After encountering an evenly matched opponent, both of them ignited their fighting spirit and insisted on determining victory or defeat!

In just a few breaths' time, the two of them had exchanged hundreds of blows.

This scene caused the blood of all the paragons to boil.

A battle between two peerless geniuses was extremely rare.

However, the Middle Ground paragons soon realized that something was amiss!

Even though Qi Shaoxuan and Shi Ling were evenly matched, they had both suffered some blows from the other party.

It did not take long before the purple Qi covered the entire arena and suppressed the golden radiance.

Qi Shaoxuan's dominance over Shi Ling became more and more proficient, and the battle prowess he unleashed also became stronger!

"Purple Aura River Mountain! Form!"

Behind Qi Shaoxuan's back, a purple aura came from the east and covered the sky.

Boundless purple energy turned into endless mountains and rivers, seemingly about to suppress the world!

Every time Qi Shaoxuan attacked, endless purple Qi would be stirred. It was as if an immemorial divine mountain was pressing down heavily!

In an instant, Shi Ling was forced to retreat repeatedly, completely suppressed by Qi Shaoxuan.

A Middle Ground prodigy exclaimed, "How is that possible!? That's the North Prince!"

Even someone as strong as the North Prince couldn't defeat this generation's Eastern Wilderness genius?

What kind of monsters were they?

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint was full of vigor. He laughed at the sky and said, "So what if he's the North King's heir? My Little Junior Brother is still suppressing him!"

The Seventh Purple Mansion Saint finally understood why the successive generations of Divine Firmament Saints looked so satisfied.

This feeling of exaltation was really too enjoyable!

At that moment, Wang Shenxu could no longer sit still. He felt his heart itch when he saw Qi Shaoxuan stealing the limelight on the Void Platform!

No way! I want to be in the limelight too!

With this thought in mind, Wang Shenxu directly rushed into the Void Platform. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a peerless expert as he looked down at the South Prince and said, "You, come up!"

Old Wang thought to himself, This kid seems to be a man of few words. I'm sure he's not very strong. Let's see if I can take advantage of this fellow. After all, a persimmon has to be crushed by someone weaker!

Hehe!

I will definitely be the one in the spotlight today!

Wang Shenxu did not think too much about it and directly challenged Shi Kui!

"Courting death!"

Shi Kui spoke indifferently while his entire body transformed into a vast divine light that carried a mighty imposing aura as he charged up to the arena in the sky.

Mysterious light surrounded his body as the shadow of a huge black turtle condensed behind him. The moment he stepped onto the stage, he charged toward Wang Shenxu.

Wang Shenxu was shocked as his defense was instantly broken. "What the f*ck? Late-Stage Heavenly Venerable!?"

Who would have thought that this quiet fellow would be so fierce? His aura was even stronger than that of the North Prince!

Did I hit a metal plate this time?

Even though Wang Shenxu was alarmed, he did not forget to dodge and immediately escaped into the void.

Boom!

A large area of the void shattered, causing space to distort.

This attack alone was enough to annihilate an ordinary Heavenly Venerable!

Shi Kui's brows knit together slightly as he felt that he hadn't struck his target and his target had fled.

Indeed, on the other end of the Void Platform, the figure of Wang Shenxu emerged.

However, his expression was a little ugly as he kept muttering, "This turtle is so fierce! Are you trying to push my lungs out with this strength of yours?"

Although he could escape into the void to avoid the damage, his reaction was a little slow because he wanted to show off earlier. The aftershocks had caused some damage to him.

This Middle Ground prince was quite powerful.

Shi Kui remained unmoved and said indifferently, "Cunning loach!"

The corners of Wang Shenxu's mouth twitched. "Big turtle, don't be arrogant. Do you believe that I will cut you?"

However, Shi Kui only shot him a glance before charging over again.

"What? Again? I will cut off your turtle head!"

Wang Shenxu condensed the power of the void and transformed it into a dazzling Void Blade.

The Void Blade spun rapidly, flashing with terrifying divine might!

He raised the Void Blade and threw it at Shi Kui. Its aura was extremely biting cold, enough to split rocks and break gold.

Shi Kui said in a low voice, "Immovable Deity Xuanwu Armor!"

An enormous black turtle phantom tore through the void. A curtain of light immediately enveloped Shi Kui!

Golden spears clashed, and sparks could be seen flying everywhere!

The Void Blade struck the barrier of light, but it was unable to even break through its defenses.

Wang Shenxu's mouth twitched crazily. "No way!"

"Does this fellow's turtle shell have to be so hard!?"

Wang Shenxu was dumbfounded. If even the power of the void could not break through Shi Kui's defense, then what was the point of continuing the fight!?

Shi Kui's attacks were unending. The profound light within his body was resplendent as it condensed into a gigantic black turtle that charged toward Wang Shenxu.

The giant black turtle crashed down like a meteor, shattering the endless void. Its power was terrifying to the extreme!

"Sh*t!"

Wang Shenxu could feel the terror of Shi Kui's attack and hurriedly escaped into the void to avoid the attack!

For a moment, he was forced to keep escaping on the void platform, jumping up and down.

The Eastern Wilderness geniuses speechlessly looked at Wang Shenxu, their forehead filled with black lines.

The previous Great Void Saints covered their faces as they could not bear to look.

How embarrassing!

The other Saints were suppressing the Middle Ground prodigies!

Only the Saint from my own family is being suppressed and beaten!

Junior Brother, you must be joking!

Chapter 426: Why Is It So Difficult For Me To Be Low Profile!?

The battle between Qi Shaoxuan and Shi Ling grew increasingly intense.

The Purple Aura River Mountain seemed to suppress the heavens, displaying an unmatched might.

He controlled the mountains and rivers with one hand and wielded the Heaven's Halberd with the other, fully utilizing the True Dragon Sutra, Kun Peng arts, and other peerless battle skills.

Endless divine might surged outward like raging waves, making Shi Ling doubt his life!

Who the hell is this kid?

He just broke through to the Soul Formation stage, yet he already possesses such battle prowess?

I'm a mighty Mid-Stage Soul Formation cultivator, yet a mere Early-Stage Soul Formation brat is suppressing me?

You must be joking!

Could it be that I did not pray properly before I went out today and hence have bumped into a ghost!?

If he hadn't seen Qi Shaoxuan's Nascent Soul breakthrough to the Soul Formation stage with his own eyes, Shi Ling would have thought that Qi Shaoxuan was some old monster at Late-Stage Soul Formation pretending to be a young man to tease him!

However, he quickly reacted and began to mobilize his strength to counterattack.

As the North Prince, Shi Ling's strength was naturally not weak. He had always crushed his opponents and reigned supreme with his invincible might!

No one had been able to fight against him for so long or even suppress him.

The battle intent in Shi Ling's heart was instantly ignited!

Golden light blossomed around him like a blazing sun, piercing straight into the clouds.

The Golden Eagle covered the sky and earth. It let out a long cry and shattered the purple gas that filled the sky. The Purple Aura River Mountain had collapsed!

Qi Shaoxuan's gaze froze. He could feel a change in Shi Ling's aura. He was now like a primordial beast with an extremely ferocious aura!

Shi Ling broke free from the suppression of the purple energy, and his entire body bathed in golden light as if a deity descended into the mortal world.

He stared fixedly at Qi Shaoxuan, his eyes blazing. "You're very strong and can put up a fight against ordinary Heavenly Venerables.

"Unfortunately, you have met me!

"You are destined to lose this battle!"

Shi Ling brandished the Universe Sun Moon Saber in his hands, sweeping it across the heavens.

In an instant, divine light erupted. The power of the sun and moon circulated endlessly, mixed with dazzling golden light.

Numerous dazzling golden eagles circulated around the blade, and their might became even more piercingly cold and unstoppable!

"Sky Eagle Nine Slashes!"

Shi Ling leaped out, merging with the Universe Sun Moon Saber. It was as if a heavenly eagle had possessed him, brandishing its divine wings, with the intention of destroying the mountains and rivers!

Streaks of dazzling golden saber beams were slashed out horizontally, piercing through the arena in the void and shattering the void. It was extremely terrifying.

"Just in time!"

The purple pupil on Qi Shaoxuan's glabella shone brightly. A brilliant purple light shot out of his glabella and attacked the Golden Eagle avatar.

The Purple Pupil Calamity Light exploded and collided with the Sky Eagle Nine Slashes with supreme power, disintegrating and destroying it!

Qi Shaoxuan's movements did not stop. The Kun Peng and the Dragon avatars appeared behind him. The two intertwined and rushed into the Heaven's Halberd!

At that moment, Qi Shaoxuan's aura became extremely domineering. He was like a God of War who dictated deaths, with the ability to rule the world!

"Kun Peng Dragon God Slash!"

Qi Shaoxuan let out a long roar as he swung his Heaven's Halberd across the void, exuding the power of the Kun Peng and the Dragon. His aura was earth-shattering!

Boom!

Divine radiance erupted while the laws fell into disorder!

Boundless divine might tore through the sky, stirring up the heavens and blasting a huge hole in the protective formation.

The paragons were filled with shock and disbelief.

This void platform's protective array formation was set up by Jixia Academy's peak Heavenly Venerable teacher. Very few people could break through it!

However, the shockwaves from the battle between Qi Shaoxuan and the North Prince were terrifying!

Everyone could not help but look forward to the outcome of this battle.

The Void Platform became clear again. The Kun Peng Dragon avatar was currently devouring the originally majestic Golden Eagle avatar, and its golden radiance was dimming!

Boom!

A loud explosion resounded!

The North Prince smashed heavily against the Void Platform, creating a large hole.

The huge Copper Sparrow Pavilion turned silent!

The Middle Ground geniuses were dumbfounded.

No way!

The North Prince was defeated just like that!?

This generation's Eastern Wilderness prodigies were way too powerful!

Could it be that this generation would reverse the status of the Eastern Wilderness geniuses?

Jixia Academy was where the geniuses of the five regions gathered, but the strongest were always the Middle Ground geniuses.

Middle Ground was filled with elites and powerful individuals. They established an unshakable status in the Jixia Academy!

Yet now that the Eastern Wilderness prodigies had appeared, a great sense of danger rose within them!

"His Highness, the South Prince, will surely win!"

The Middle Ground geniuses placed their hopes on the South Prince.

The situation of the battle was obvious. Wang Shenxu was indeed worthy of his title of the Great Void Saint. After being beaten up by the South Prince, all he knew was to flee in a panic! He did not even have any chance to retaliate!

Victory was already in their grasp!

Shi Kui frowned when he saw Shi Ling's defeat.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for Middle Ground's geniuses. Someone had to step forward to win back their dignity!

Shi Kui did not want to waste time. He wanted to quickly defeat Wang Shenxu!

Roar!

The Black Turtle avatar howled into the heavens. Endless profound rivers surged out, covering the heavens and earth as they fell.

Shi Kui wanted to cut off this patch of the void so that Wang Shenxu could not escape with the power of the void.

In the sky, endless profound mysteries descended, natural laws swirling about, sealing up heaven and earth, completely freezing the void.

Wang Shenxu's expression changed slightly. Upon sensing that the void was sealed, he had no choice but to deal with it with all his might.

Wang Shenxu growled, "You are the one who made me do this, old turtle!

"The void lineage is not weaker than humans!

"Soul Formation, break!"

He seemed to have sensed the might of Shi Kui's power, or perhaps he did not want to fall behind Qi Shaoxuan.

Wang Shenxu was finally anxious, and no longer hid his abilities!

He chanted a mantra, and divine light surrounded his body. The divine light overflowed and illuminated the sky!

A shadow appeared behind him. It was invisible and formless, but it was emitting a terrifying aura. It was as if one would fall into an endless abyss the moment one touched it!

The void was fluctuating as it constantly twisted and interweaved, forming strange spaces that shattered into pieces.

The rivers that filled the sky were instantly completely shattered.

The Grand Dao of the Void was profound and mysterious. It controlled the energy of the world and contained the Grand Dao of the Laws. Ordinary people could not touch it.

However, Wang Shenxu had the Void Sacred Constitution and could naturally control the power of the void!

The power of the endless void poured down like laws, all of it rushing into Wang Shenxu's body, causing him to be surrounded by nomological divine light. Even his body became extremely illusory, as if he did not exist in this world!

Boom!

An incomparably vast aura burst forth, piercing straight into the clouds and causing chaos in the sky!

At this moment, Wang Shenxu directly entered the Soul Formation stage!

How satisfying!

Love it! Love it!

Is this the Soul Formation stage?

Not only did it greatly increase my strength, but even my lifespan has increased by 3,000 years!

That's 3,000 years!

I can spend my life again!

Wang Shenxu was in high spirits as he glanced at Shi Kui. "Old turtle, watch how I slice you!"

With an additional 3,000 years of life, Wang Shenxu felt that he could win!

As soon as he made a move, he burned 50 years of his lifespan and transformed it into a void saber that slashed toward Shi Kui.

An attack that used his lifespan was indeed different. Even the Late-Stage Soul Formation Shi Kui felt a sense of danger.

Shi Kui condensed the Black Turtle avatar and transformed it into the Black Turtle Armor to block the Void Saber!

Clang!

Sparks flew as the tortoiseshell showed clear blade marks.

However, it was still a long way from shattering.

Wang Shenxu opened his eyes wide and said, "F*ck, why is this old turtle so hard?"

Shi Kui had signed a contract with the North Sea Black Turtle race. He cultivated the Black Turtle Emperor Scripture, and thus his defense was incomparably sturdy.

Even an ordinary peak Heavenly Venerable wouldn't be able to break through his defenses.

Even though Wang Shenxu had broken through to the Soul Formation stage and had spent 50 years of his life, it was still quite difficult to break through his defenses.

The Middle Ground prodigies heaved a sigh of relief. They had thought that Wang Shenxu was as ferocious as Qi Shaoxuan and that he would be able to suppress Shi Kui after breaking through to the Soul Formation stage!

As expected, this guy was here to be funny!

Just as Wang Shenxu was in a daze, Shi Kui stepped forward and sent him flying with an Overlord God Fist.

Qi Shaoxuan glanced at Wang Shenxu. "Idiot!"

Wang Shenxu immediately became furious, jumping up and saying, "The one surnamed Qi, don't look down on me. Today, I will show you what the Void bloodline is. I am the strongest!"

"Great Void Palm!"

Divine light burst forth from Wang Shenxu's body, creating an endless tide.

The power of the void surged continuously, forming an incomparably huge hand seal!

The Great Void Palm stretched across the void, suppressing heaven and earth, bringing with it endless laws that descended with it!

Shi Kui's expression changed drastically as he felt his heart tremble!

He hurriedly pushed the power of the black turtle to its limits. The Immovable Black Turtle Armor condensed into a pitch-black turtle shell that covered Shi Kui's back.

There were mysterious and ancient patterns on the turtle shell. They contained great power and were indestructible!

After that, Shi Kui's entire body shrunk within it, and he utilized the turtle shell's strength to resist the Great Void Palm!

"So what if you're wearing a turtle shell? I'll beat you!"

Wang Shenxu was unmoved. He waved his void palm and slammed it heavily at the turtle shell!

Crack!

The incomparably sturdy tortoiseshell was riddled with cracks by the Great Void Palm and finally exploded.

Puchi!

Shi Kui spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew out, his aura turning weak.

If it wasn't for the fact that Wang Shenxu had changed his direction and avoided his vitals, the South Prince would have been slapped to death!

The power of this slap had already surpassed the limits of a Heavenly Venerable.

Its strength was comparable to that of a Sage!

When he saw Shi Kui retreat in defeat, Wang Shenxu was not happy. Instead, his heart ached so much that his mouth twitched.

My lifespan!

500 years, 500 years!

Just like that, it's all gone!

I haven't had enough yet. What a loss!

This won't do. My life is already spent. How can I not put on a good show?

Wang Shenxu pretended to be aloof and said indifferently, "A mere Late-Stage Soul Formation cultivator, I can break you with a flick of my finger!

"Did you see this Qi Shaoxuan?

"I don't usually bicker with you, but if we really fight, I'll slap you to death!"

Speaking up to this point, Wang Shenxu could not help but laugh foolishly!

Awesome!

This was too awesome!

It feels good to show off for a while, but it feels best to show off all the time!

No wonder Qi Shaoxuan likes to act cool!

I love this feeling!

"Idiot!"

Qi Shaoxuan did not say anything, but he was secretly shocked.

This Wang fellow is indeed a formidable opponent for me!

The other Middle Ground geniuses were stunned.

They did not expect that even the South Prince would be defeated!

Moreover, he had lost even more decisively than the North Prince.

A single slap—just a single slap!

They had completely lost this battle!

The Middle Ground paragons lowered their heads helplessly. Their hearts were shaken!

They had originally wanted to use their absolute power to suppress the Eastern Wilderness geniuses, but they hadn't expected to be slapped in the face instead.

As for the Eastern Wilderness heavenly geniuses, they all felt incredibly refreshed.

Ever since they had entered Jixia Academy, they had never been able to enjoy such glory.

This was especially true for the previous generations of Saints from the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground and the Great Void Sacred Ground. They were even more delighted!

As expected of Little Junior Brother, he really gave us face. In the future, when I go out to brag, I will have a lot to talk about!

Our lineage has finally been brought to greater heights, and the faces of the Senior Brothers of the past generations are also shining!

The South Prince and the North Prince looked at each other with solemn expressions.

The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty had a tight grasp on the education of their juniors.

Even though they had been defeated, they did not bear any grudges!

Shi Ling stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Fellow Daoists, you possess such strength at such a young age. I admire you!

"Given your talents, you must be the top existences in Eastern Wilderness! If there's a chance in the future, I hope to spar with you two again."

To be able to defeat them at Early-Stage Soul Formation was enough to prove how talented the two of them were.

The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty would try to rope in such a peerless genius!

As members of the royal family, the South Prince and North Prince were naturally aware of this.

Wang Shenxu was slightly stunned. He never expected the two great heirs to be so magnanimous!

We just beat up the two of them. Aren't they angry?

However, their gazes do not seem to be fake. It should not be fake.

Yes, even though these two fellows are arrogant, they are pretty honest and upright.

One should not slap a smiling face. Wang Shenxu smiled and said, "No, no. Compared to the Divine Firmament Saint, we are like mud on the ground!

"I can't even withstand a single blow from Brother Shen!"

Since he was already used to bragging, Wang Shenxu just opened his mouth.

When the Middle Ground paragons heard this, they instantly doubted their life!

No way!

Was the Divine Firmament Saint really that powerful?

The mouths of the South Prince and the North Prince twitched violently.

The two of you can't even withstand a single strike from the Divine Firmament Saint? Then wouldn't we be unable to even last half a move!?

"Is it possible that the Divine Firmament Saint is about to transcend the tribulation and become a Sage?"

The heir of the North King was skeptical. He felt that Wang Shenxu was boasting, but there was no evidence!

However, Qi Shaoxuan also walked out and sighed. "Brother Shen's heroic bearing is unparalleled. We are far inferior!

"Even a Six Tribulation True Sage was sent flying by Brother Shen's hammer. Do you think he is strong?"

Qi Shaoxuan was also full of admiration at the mention of Shen Tian. Even someone as proud as him had long since given up on comparing himself to Shen Tian.

There was no hope of becoming Eastern Wilderness' number one. It was better for him to become the number one under the heavens!

"The Divine Firmament Saint sent a True Sage flying with a hammer?"

"How terrifying!"

The Middle Ground paragons took a deep breath, their hearts filled with shock.

Such an existence was not someone they could offend!

Shi Ling and Shi Kui looked at each other, and they both saw relief and fear in each other's eyes!

Given Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu's strength, there was no need for them to lie. If it was as they said, the Divine Firmament Saint was definitely a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse!

At the very least, he had to be a supreme youth like Shi Tianzi.

If they had challenged the Divine Firmament Saint previously, they would have been defeated even more miserably.

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched when he heard the two flatter him.

Old Qi, since when did you learn how to suck up to others? Can't you let me be a low-key handsome man?

At that moment, Shi Ling and Shi Kui walked over and cupped their hands toward Shen Tian. "Divine Firmament Saint, we offended you earlier. Please forgive us."

"I didn't expect Brother Shen to be able to defeat a Six Tribulation True Sage. You are indeed a dragon amongst men. I'm impressed!"

Shen Tian wiped his sweat and said helplessly, "The two princes are too polite. I was just lucky. That True Sage didn't use his full strength."

He had to keep a low profile. Low-key development was the way to go.

Shi Ling shook his head. "Brother Shen, there's no need to be so humble. Being able to defeat a True Sage is already considered a feat! Given Brother Shen's strength, you will definitely become famous!"

Shi Kui nodded. "I think so too!"

True Sages were extremely powerful. Even if they didn't use their full strength, Heavenly Venerables wouldn't be able to shake them!

Not only could the Divine Firmament Saint shake a Heavenly Venerable, but he could even send a True Sage flying with a hammer! He was simply too powerful!

The two princes wanted to rope him in. If they could pull Shen Tian into the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, they would definitely be rewarded!

This was a peerless genius, and as long as he did not die, he would definitely become the strongest existence in the five regions!

If they didn't try to curry favor with him now, when would they be able to?

Countless compliments sounded around Shen Tian.

What could Shen Tian do? He could only desperately say he was lucky.

However, this did not make everyone look down on him. Instead, they praised him even more fiercely.

"This generation's Divine Firmament Saint is not only powerful, but he is also so humble. This is truly rare."

"He killed a Six Tribulation True Sage before reaching 100 years old. His future is limitless!"

"I wonder who is stronger. Him or Prince Shi Tianzi!?"

"Even His Highness, Shi Tianzi, can't kill a Six Tribulation True Sage!"

Shen Tian: "???"

Despair!

Do these guys not understand human language? I just want to keep a low profile. Why is it so difficult!?

Chapter 427: The Divine Firmament Saint Has A Big Heart!

The battle between the 10 Heavenly Venerables and the top four Divine Firmament prodigies was about to come to a conclusion on the Void Platform.

The top four Divine Firmament prodigies stood proudly in mid-air, bathed in lightning divine light. They looked like gods, heroic and indomitable!

They occupied one side, attracting boundless divine lightning and turning the platform into a sea of lightning. It was like they were going to destroy the entire world.

Streaks of Mixed Divine Lightning struck downward as lightning covered the entire area. The whole region was obscured from the sun, making it dark and shadowy.

Lightning flashed and crisscrossed wildly!

The light barrier created by the Sage artifacts of the 10 Heavenly Venerables shook violently from the impact!

Boom, boom, boom!

Lightning surged as if the God of Lightning himself was roaring in anger.

The 10 Heavenly Venerables were finally exhausted. Their energy was completely expended.

Crack!

The light barrier created by the Sage artifacts cracked from the impact of countless lightning bolts, which penetrated and spread across the barrier like dancing snakes.

In the blink of an eye, the 10 Heavenly Venerables were surrounded by the Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array.

After the lightning dispersed, the 10 Heavenly Venerables were sprawled across the ground, their hair standing straight up.

Their faces were charred black, white smoke spouting out of their mouths, their bodies twitching!

The 10 Heavenly Venerables were defeated in this battle!

The four Divine Firmament prodigies gradually descended on the ground, peering down their noses at the Middle Ground prodigies.

"Please, is there anyone else who wishes to come up on this platform?"

"Anyone!?"

The Middle Ground prodigies all looked very conflicted as they looked at the four god-like Divine Firmament prodigies.

This generation of Divine Firmament disciples was just too powerful!

Not only had the four top Divine Firmament prodigies defeated 10 Heavenly Venerables, but their Divine Firmament Saint had also thrashed a Six Tribulation True Sage.

All the providence in the world seemed to be congregating at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground now. The other sacred grounds were as good as nothing!

Was this even really a sparring session? It was just an exhibition of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's prowess!

You guys are so domineering. Is there any point sparring at all now?

The Middle Ground prodigies were all sobbing on the inside. They felt completely dispirited.

At the same time, they were also thinking woefully, The Eastern Wilderness prodigies' rise is irrepressible!

Over the past thousands of years, the Middle Ground prodigies had always dominated over the Eastern Wilderness prodigies during sparring sessions between same-generation practitioners.

Unexpectedly, this generation of Eastern Wilderness prodigies was too freakishly powerful. They had even managed to thrash their senior Saints. It was unprecedented.

The North Prince, Shi Ling, looked at the four Divine Firmament prodigies in shock. Their overall power was still far inferior to his, but he was well aware of how high their innate talents were.

If he had to suppress his cultivation level to the Nascent Soul stage, he would not be confident of beating any single one of them.

These four prodigies could easily become Saints in any one of the sacred grounds.

In fact, over the past thousands of years, some of the sacred grounds had not had such talented heirs at all.

However, these fellows had somehow all turned up in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

And they were so united. It was a very curious matter.

How powerful must their Saint be to be able to suppress them?

Unthinkable!

Shi Ling took a deep breath. "The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has so many young prodigies. It is truly an eye-opener for me!"

The present Middle Ground prodigies were very powerful practitioners in their own right, but they were defeated by opponents of a lower level than them.

There was no doubt that this generation of Eastern Wilderness prodigies was extremely formidable.

"Brother Shen, I will take my leave for now!"

Shi Ling prepared to leave.

They had gotten into conflict with the Eastern Wilderness prodigies because of the Golden Phoenix room.

Now that the Middle Ground prodigies had lost, they were too ashamed to remain here any longer.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tian stopped them before they could leave.

Shi Ling's heart tightened. "Brother Shen, what's the matter?"

He had heard that there was an elder in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground called Azure Lotus. He would fleece his opponents every time they finished a fight.

The First Divine Firmament Saint, Yue Yunde, had picked up the exact same practice.

Would the Tenth Divine Firmament Saint have the same habit?

Shi Ling looked at Shen Tian vigilantly, but then he immediately felt a sense of resignation. He realized that he would not be able to resist anyway.

This was the Saint who had thrashed a Six Tribulation True Sage.

Not only that, Shi Ling might not even be able to gain the upper hand over his band of juniors.

If Shen Tian really wanted to, would Shi Ling and his group be able to resist?

Sigh, I have no choice but to concede.

Shen Tian had no idea what Shi Ling was thinking. He already thought of how he was going to play this out.

There was a very simple reason he had stopped the Middle Ground prodigies. He wanted to maintain good relations.

Although there were some conflicts between the Eastern Wilderness and Middle Ground prodigies, Shen Tian felt that these were just minor grievances.

Given Shen Tian's power, the fight between these two groups was like a scuffle between kids.

As long as his own group of kids won, there was no need to hold any grudges.

Moreover, who had never fought with other kids over the playground swing? Youngsters would always be youngsters.

These Middle Ground prodigies might have been arrogant, but they had conceded after losing. They were still rather upright practitioners. If they could become friends with these people and gain their acknowledgment, they wouldn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back in the future.

Ahem!

More importantly, these fellows also had pretty good providence!

Didn't a wise man say before that unity was strength?

Of course, one could never have too many golden-egg-laying geese!

Shen Tian smiled. "Brother Shi, my Middle Ground friends. The saying goes that one can only really get to know another through fighting. Why don't we all go into the room and become friends?"

The two princes were dumbstruck. They were totally stunned by Shen Tian's attitude.

Your comrades just beat us up, but you want to treat us to a meal? Beating with a stick before giving us a carrot?

Shen Tian took a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring. He said sincerely, "I have some Nirvana Holy Liquid here. It can help you guys recover from your injuries."

Many Middle Ground prodigies had been injured during the fight, especially those 10 Heavenly Venerables. The top four Divine Firmament prodigies had nearly charred them black.

What better time than now to buy one's way into their hearts?

The Middle Ground prodigies were even more shocked at the sight of the white jade bottle containing the Nirvana Holy Liquid!

We were just fighting so intensely earlier, but you are suddenly so cordial now? How do you expect us to react?

Especially the Seventh Black Sky Saint and the Seventh Nine Sun Saint. They were very envious of the Eastern Wilderness prodigies' pills.

They didn't expect to have a share of the Nirvana Holy Liquid now.

The two of them raised their hands, which trembled. They had no idea whether they should accept it!

Some of the prodigies snapped out of their trance and looked very embarrassed.

"The Divine Firmament Saint is so benevolent. We are not worthy of your generosity!"

"We offended you guys so terribly earlier. Saint, we hope that you won't hold it against us."

At this point, all the Middle Ground prodigies felt very conflicted.

They didn't expect the Divine Firmament Saint to be so benevolent. Not only did he not begrudge them for hurting so many Eastern Wilderness ex-Saints, but he was even giving them Nirvana Holy Liquid to treat their injuries?

It should be pointed out that the Divine Firmament Saint was a formidable practitioner who could even smash a True Sage.

If it was another person with that kind of power, they would have already pulverized them!

Unexpectedly, the Divine Firmament Saint didn't take advantage of his mighty powers to bully those weaker than him. On the contrary, he was treating them so well despite their earlier behavior.

The Middle Ground prodigies felt their hearts grow warm. They couldn't help being very moved.

The Divine Firmament Saint was such a great man!

However, this concerned their reputation. They might be very tempted, but they still rejected Shen Tian's kind offer. After all, they had just endured a tremendous beating. It was very difficult for them to turn around and make friends now.

Shen Tian smiled. "My friends, there's no need to stand on ceremony!

"As the top prodigies in the five regions, we must be more open-hearted.

"There will be so many more major wars in this world. If we look at the big picture, at the overall security of the entire five regions, this minor scuffle between the Eastern Wilderness and Middle Ground prodigies is nothing.

"Perhaps there might come a day when we have to team up and rely on each other.

"By then, who would care about this insignificant conflict?"

The Middle Ground prodigies were stunned by Shen Tian's words!

Was this the greatness of the Divine Firmament Saint?

Here I worry over the power rankings of my peers while the Divine Firmament Saint is thinking about the survival of the five regions.

High level. He is indeed of a much higher level!

No wonder Huang Shi pays attention to this fellow.

Just his manner alone is far beyond that of a normal prodigy!

The difference between us is like heaven and earth!

The North Prince's blood surged. He hollered. "Brother Shen well said! How can we reject Brother Shen's kind intentions now? We accept it in humility!"

If it was some normal gift, these prodigies would never accept it. They had a reputation to maintain!

However, this was the Nirvana Holy Liquid. It was enough to tempt all the Middle Ground prodigies. It was impossible for them to reject it!

They would have to rest in bed for at least 10 to 14 days due to their injuries.

However, they could recuperate much faster with this Nirvana Holy Liquid, such a wondrous elixir. It was personally gifted by the Divine Firmament Saint himself, so who in the world would reject it?

After Shi Ling's words, the Middle Ground prodigies accepted the Nirvana Holy Liquid with thanks.

"Thank you, Divine Firmament Saint!"

"The Divine Firmament Saint is so generous!"

After that, the Middle Ground prodigies were completely won over by Shen Tian.

Even Shi Tianzi might not have been able to accomplish this!

Eh?

How can I have such a thought?

His Highness is the pride of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty. He is the face of all Middle Ground prodigies!

But this Divine Firmament Saint seems not bad at all either!

Somehow, my gut feeling seems to indicate that Brother Shen is more powerful than His Highness!?

Who knew where those prodigies got that idea!

Perhaps it was because they had never received any gifts from Shi Tianzi before!

Shen Tian's smile deepened as he looked at the heads of the Middle Ground prodigies.

These Middle Ground prodigies also had extraordinary providence, as good as those Eastern Wilderness prodigies!

The two princes especially had purple-gold halos!

I will have to depend on them to strike it rich in the future!

I am so smart!

As expected of me!

"Alright, everyone, don't just stand there. Today is a joyous occasion. We have to prepare the place for our Junior Brothers!"

The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint stepped forward energetically. He was feeling very gleeful. He didn't expect his Junior Brother to be so awesome, able to make those Middle Ground prodigies willingly submit to him.

With him around, our sacred ground will definitely rise again!

Everyone gathered inside the Golden Phoenix room and sat down.

Soon, all sorts of delicious delicacies covered the tables.

The Copper Sparrow Pavilion was indeed Sky Saint City's most luxurious restaurant. It had extraordinary resources. Its dishes were cooked with spirit herbs and possessed a large quantity of Spirit Qi. It was very expensive.

The two princes were in high spirits. They took out the divine wine of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty and shared it with everyone.

Shi Ling boasted, "Brother Shen, this wine is brewed using the tree sap of a Sage spirit tree that had undergone three tribulations. It is touted as the nectar of the immortals. It can send one into a drunk, dream-like trance!

"Even my father is very prudent with this wine. He would only drink this on special occasions!

"I stole some. I will definitely endure a major beating if I get found out!

"I wonder if Brother Shen is willing to have a taste?"

Wine brought out the true character of a person. Now that they were sharing a meal together. Shi Ling was letting his hair down.

He started to show off his own wine. It was clear that he was very passionate about fine wine.

He raised his glass to toast Shen Tian.

Shen Tian accepted a glass. "Brother Shi, thank you!"

Shen Tian was not that fond of wine, but he didn't want to be a spoilsport. He took off his mask and downed the entire glass in one swallow. He felt endless Spirit Qi circulating inside him.

"Fragrant and smooth. It is indeed a fine wine!"

Shen Tian praised with a smile. However, he then realized that everyone, especially the female prodigies, was just staring at him in a daze. They looked completely bewitched.

Noticing the mask on the table, Shen Tian suddenly realized what happened.

Sigh... This again...

I deserve it. I shouldn't reveal my charm so carelessly!

Crash!

Shi Ling's wine glass dropped on the table, startling everyone.

He sighed. "Brother Shen is so handsome. Your looks are truly astonishing!"

Shi Ling was a Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty Prince. Not only was he powerful, but he was also very handsome. He had many fans amongst the people.

Nonetheless, even he couldn't help feeling inferior after seeing Shen Tian's face.

This face was completely out-of-this-world. It was beyond gorgeous.

No one else in this mortal world could compare.

As for the other Middle Ground prodigies, they had the same thoughts as Shi Ling.

Shocked, moved, envious, defeated...

Didn't expect that not only am I not as powerful or talented as the Divine Firmament Saint, but even my looks cannot compare.

Yeap, or perhaps I should say that the difference in looks is even wider!

Thereafter, there was a barrage of compliments and small talk. Jovial voices and laughter filled the room.

Eunuch Gui felt very content at the sight of Shen Tian, who was surrounded by a bevy of adoring prodigies.

Sigh... If only Concubine Lan could witness this scene!

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, the prodigies left in scattered pairs and groups, hurrying back to Jixia Academy.

There was a huge crowd at Jixia Academy today.

The mass of people jammed the main gates. Long lines formed at the entrance. Even when night fell, the lines seemed to get no shorter!

As Shen Tian and his group wanted to enroll in the school earlier, their ex-Saints had yet to make their way over.

Instead, there were many other same-generation prodigies from Middle Ground's sacred grounds who were with them.

They couldn't help being stunned the moment they arrived at Jixia Academy.

Wang Shenxu felt dizzy. "No way! Such long queues. Won't we be queuing for months and months?"

All the prodigies across the five regions that were at Golden Core Sixth Refinement Stage and above had gathered here. It could be imagined just how many people there were!

Jixia Academy had no lack of prodigies!

With so many prodigies wanting to enroll in Jixia Academy, just registering their name alone would take a long time.

One of the Middle Ground prodigies sighed. "No choice. This is Jixia Academy's rule. Everyone must follow it."

Whether you were an exemplary prodigy or a Saint from the royal family, you would have to obediently queue up if you wished to enter Jixia Academy.

In the past, not many came to the academy, so it didn't take too much time to queue.

Nonetheless, Jixia Academy had relaxed its restrictions and started a mass enrolment.

Prodigies across the five regions had rushed over only to witness this sight.

"Is there any other way to enter more quickly? For example, a back door?"

Wang Shenxu did not want to queue. Just the sight of it made his scalp go numb.

"No back door! Unless you have a Distinguished Talent Token. Only then can you move up more quickly."

The Middle Ground prodigies sighed. That method was as good as impossible.

Distinguished Talent Token... How could it be that easy to get one?

Over the past 1,000 years, only Shi Tianzi had been given a Distinguished Talent Token when he was specially invited to enroll in Jixia Academy!

Shen Tian looked thoughtful. He took out a token. "Do you mean this?"

It was a golden token covered in golden runes. It looked very mysterious and divine.

The word "Wilderness" was carved into the token. The calligraphy was refined and elegant as if it possessed a deep truth.

One couldn't help being entranced by the sight of it!

Previously, the War King had sought out Shen Tian before leaving. He had given him this golden token and said that it would be of use to him when entering Jixia Academy.

Shen Tian was very curious then about how to use this token!

Looks like this is the Distinguished Talent Token!

The Middle Ground prodigies' eyes went wide at the sight of Shen Tian's token. "Is this really the Distinguished Talent Token?"

These Middle Ground prodigies were all from aristocratic households. They had never seen a Distinguished Talent Token, but they had heard of it.

This was a personal token of the Great Thearch Huang Shi. It possessed an authority second to none!

This was a sign of one's status and powers. It awarded one with all sorts of special privileges inside Jixia Academy.

The Divine Firmament Saint is indeed on par with His Highness, Shi Tianzi!

Otherwise, how could he possibly enjoy this special privilege too?

Meanwhile, the Eastern Wilderness prodigies had no idea what this Distinguished Talent Token meant.

Nevertheless, the fact this token meant they could jump the queue made them very happy.

Shen Tian led the way. He did not wish to waste time here either. With the Distinguished Talent Token in hand, he went to find a teacher.

The Distinguished Talent Token was very useful. Even the Jixia Academy teachers had to hold it in high regard. They immediately allowed Shen Tian and his group to enter.

As countless prodigies stared on in envy and shock, Shen Tian and his group went straight through!

The Middle Ground prodigies tagged along, feeling very lucky.

If not for Shen Tian, who knew how long they would have to wait in line?

Everyone sighed contentedly.

It is always a good thing to follow Brother Shen!

It feels great not to have to queue!

After entering Jixia Academy, Shen Tian and his group realized that there were already a lot of people inside.

These were the prodigies who had endured the long wait outside and finally entered the academy.

After a short while, the crowd saw a white-haired elder walk over,

This elder was dressed in sackcloth and exuded a very regal bearing. His aura was deep beyond fathom. He was clearly no weakling.

His elderly, frail voice rang out. "Young prodigies from the five regions, welcome to Jixia Academy!

"I am your Lead Teacher. You can call me Elder Su!

"From now on, you are all Jixia Academy's outer sect disciples!

"Now that you have joined Jixia Academy, you cannot relax. You must devote yourself to learning and continuously improve yourself.

"Only when you become more powerful can you continue to progress forward. From there, you will also gain more cultivation resources!"

The Jixia Academy might be a holy land for learning, but its rules were similar to the other sacred grounds. There were different levels.

Students from the different levels would receive different grades of cultivation resources.

Jixia Academy had much better resources than a normal sacred ground. It possessed a large number of secret techniques, and it even had more than one imperial sutras!

These legacies had either been collected by the Great Thearch Huang Shi or created by him.

Nearly all of Huang Shi's resources, which he had accumulated over thousands of years, were at Jixia Academy!

And all these legacies were open to the students, as long as one achieved enough school credits. Even the imperial sutras were available.

It should be pointed out that the imperial sutras in the various sacred grounds were only available to true disciples.

On top of that, the most advanced, forbidden chapters were reserved only for the Saints and Saintesses.

However, Jixia Academy's legacies were available to all. Although one had to achieve enough credits first, it was just a matter of time before they would get the opportunity.

Jixia Academy was famous across the five regions because of this very reason. In the hearts of countless prodigies, it had become the most highly-esteemed holy land.

Upon hearing Elder Su's words, the prodigies all looked very excited. "Yes!"

Joining Jixia Academy was like winning an express ticket in one's cultivation journey!

As long as one devoted oneself to cultivating, their future would be limitless!

Everyone firmly believed in this!

Chapter 428: I Must Be A Fake Nine Sun Saint!

Seeing how everyone was excited, Elder Su nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, I'll bring everyone into the Grotto-Heaven Small World now.

"It will be your rest area and also your accommodation and place for cultivation for the next 100 years!"

The new students were not gathered in Jixia Academy, but they were instead separated into individual Grotto-Heaven Small Worlds.

Ever since Jixia Academy had been created, many students had enrolled, including all generations of prodigies from the five regions.

Given the numerous prodigies in Jixia Academy, it would be difficult to even accommodate all of them without enough space!

Thankfully, Jixia Academy had a solution. Top cultivators used their peerless powers to create a space for students to cultivate.

Jixia Academy looked small, but it was filled with Grotto-Heaven Small Worlds within.

Each generation of students would be assigned to an individual space, which made it easier to manage.

Elder Su waved his hand, and the void surged, instantly surrounding all the students like a mist enveloping them.

Resplendent divine light could be seen on the ground as the space array formation was activated, and the Divine Emblems carved on the ground were being outlined.

Space was distorted, and a bright light was emitted!

Everyone was blinded, and they disappeared.

When they reappeared, they were already in an extremely beautiful world.

It was boundless, the scenery beautiful with lush trees. The mountains pierced straight through the clouds, and the Spirit Spring waterfall gushed down.

There were also pavilions, wooden cottages, and water flowing beneath a little bridge. It was like a fairyland!

A hazy fog filled the place, and Spirit Qi lingered in the air!

A certain prodigy exclaimed, "The Spirit Qi here is so dense, it'd be twice the result with half the effort if we could cultivate here!

Spirit Fog permeated the whole place and made everyone feel refreshed. They were even shining with pale divine light.

The Spirit Qi here was extremely dense. It was a few times thicker than the outside world, so cultivating here could be compared to cultivating for a few days in the outside world!

The various astounded prodigies were overjoyed.

Jixia Academy was indeed powerful enough to create such a level of Grotto-Heaven Small World. The Spirit Qi in the outside world could not be compared at all. It was no wonder that countless prodigies would long to join Jixia Academy, and even those from royal families would flock here.

There were 36 Spirit Mountains in the center of the Small World. Those towering mountains stood tall and erect, and clouds surrounded them. The scene was ethereal as rays of sunlight shone upon those mountains.

Those 36 Spirit Mountains were all different in sizes, some tall, some short, some big, some small. They seemed to be arranged according to a certain order.

Endless Spirit Qi rose from the 36 Spirit Mountains and caused the clouds and sea to surge.

"Elder Su, what are those Spirit Mountains?"

Some were curious as they had discovered that those Spirit Mountains were covered with strange array patterns that seemed to outline heaven and earth, gathering Spirit Qi from everywhere.

The 36 Spirit Mountains shone brightly. They contained powerful array formations that were out of reach for most cultivators.

Elder Su replied calmly, "These 36 Spirit Mountains are the pillars of the Spirit Qi in this Small World and also your residence."

He continued. "It's not just a normal residence. There are Spirit Qi Gathering formations set up on those 36 Spirit Mountains, which can gather Spirit Qi from heaven and earth.

"The density of Spirit Qi in each Spirit Mountain is more than 10 times higher than the outside world, and the highest can even reach hundreds of times!"

The various prodigies were dumbstruck as their jaws dropped.

The effects of the Spirit Mountains were so powerful!

Sky Saint City's Spirit Qi density was originally high, but it was even higher here!

Spirit Qi that could surpass Eastern Wilderness' hundreds or thousands of times, just how much time for cultivation could be saved?

It was simply a dream place to cultivate!

However, Elder Su's subsequent words startled those prodigies.

"However, each Spirit Mountain has a formation. Those without enough strength will not be able to enter.

"The higher the ranking of the Spirit Mountains, the stronger the formation and the higher the Spirit Qi density. At the same time, there are also rewards of academic credits and treasures."

"You can choose as you wish but know your limit.

"The Spirit Mountains can also be snatched. Those that are competent can challenge each other, and only the final winner will gain control over the Spirit Mountain."

Elder Su smiled. It was always the most lively when new students enrolled.

This was the test that Jixia Academy had purposely set. Not only could they pick out exceptional prodigies, but their peers would also be motivated. They would only have motivation with a target. Thus, such a situation could increase the students' strength more quickly.

Many prodigies were high-spirited and eager to start upon hearing Elder Su's words.

Although it's not for free, at least they would have a chance. If they could occupy a Spirit Mountain, their cultivation speed would definitely far exceed their peers, not to mention the rewards of credits and treasures!

The various prodigies could not help but step forward to try and break through the formation.

However, after they made a move, they realized that it was not as simple as they thought.

A Golden Core Sixth Refinement prodigy picked the last Spirit Mountain and attacked!

"How is it possible?"

That prodigy was astonished. He had used his full strength, but nothing happened!

He did not believe it, so he gnashed his teeth and attacked with all his strength once again!

All of his Golden Core Sixth Refinement power was unleashed, floating above his head and shining brightly!

Boom!

The 36th Spirit Mountain unleashed an immense aura, which directly knocked back that cultivator, and he vomited out blood. It was obvious that his strength was far from being able to break through this Spirit Mountain's formation.

"This formation is not that simple!"

Everyone was shocked and did not dare underestimate the formations anymore.

A Golden Core Sixth Firmament prodigy had been directly defeated, so just how powerful was that formation?

It was no wonder that the Spirit Mountains have such powerful effects—good things were indeed hard to obtain!

"Hmph, let me try!"

A Golden Core Eight Refinement prodigy stepped forward. He was the true disciple of a certain sacred ground and had formidable strength.

That prodigy held a saber in his hands and charged toward that last Spirit Mountain furiously!

However, he flew back in an instant, and blood could be seen dripping from his mouth.

"What? Even a Golden Core Eight Refinement cultivator is unable to break through it?"

"It can't be like this, Elder Su!"

"You must be kidding. There's no one who is able to break through the formation!"

"If the last Spirit Mountain is so powerful, who can break through the formation of those higher ranked Spirit Mountains? It must be a joke!"

Numerous prodigies started doubting with their faces in disbelief.

A Golden Core Eight Refinement prodigy was already one of the top amongst them.

Jixia Academy recruited students every 100 years, so previous talented prodigies had already entered the academy. Those remaining were all new prodigies that grew stronger during those 100 years and older prodigies that barely met the enrollment conditions.

It was already rare for someone to be able to reach the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage in 100 years. Even so, the last Spirit Mountain could not be broken through!

Then what could the remaining do?

Those Spirit Mountains were most likely not their residence but confidence crushers.

Elder Su had already expected such a scene. He replied calmly, "Only Late-Stage Nascent Souls that broke through when above Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage can have the chance to break through the last six Spirit Mountains."

Those Spirit Mountains were there to motivate everyone to improve their strength as soon as possible. If anyone could break through the formations, then there would not be a need to set up those array formations!

"You must be kidding, Elder Su!"

"Those in Late-Stage Nascent Soul, and only if they had broken through when they were above Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage, would have the chance to break through the formation?"

The various prodigies instantly complained.

Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage within 100 years was already extremely difficult.

Only the cream of the crop would be able to do so.

Meanwhile, breaking through to Nascent Soul at Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage and reaching Late-Stage Nascent Soul was almost impossible!

Even amongst the previous generations' Saints and Saintesses, only a handful would be able to do such a thing!

They were too young—they were still children!

This time, Jixia Academy had lowered its enrollment condition, and most students were only around Golden Core Sixth Firmament Stage.

To them, such difficulty was an impossible feat.

In that instant, countless prodigies wailed.

"Who is able to do that? Are we going to sleep in the wild?"

Elder Su said calmly, "If you can't break through the Spirit Mountain's formation, you can build a house or a tent on the plain beside the Spirit Mountains. You have to rely on yourself in Jixia Academy. No one will pity you because you're weak!"

Jixia Academy had been like this all along.

Students would need to fight for everything, including their cultivation resources and fortuitous opportunities!

That was to train the students so that they would not immerse in comfort. It was only through doing so that they would be able to nurture top cultivators!

The various prodigies' mouths twitched as they sighed deeply.

Seeing how everyone was disappointed, Elder Su comforted. "Those that were able to break through the formation when they just enrolled were all the most exceptional prodigies of the five regions.

"Most students can only build houses on the plain beside, so you don't need to be discouraged."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Elder Su, if you had told us earlier, then we wouldn't be that anxious!

So it's not that we're too weak.

Anyway, even our Senior Brothers and Sisters have slept outside before, so there's no need to be embarrassed!

Yeap, I feel so much better now!

Those exceptional prodigies became interested. They believed that they were exceptional, so they would have the strength to challenge the formation even if they were not Late-Stage Nascent Soul yet.

The Saints of the various sacred grounds all made a move and tried breaking through the last Spirit Mountain!

The various Saints had obtained miraculous pills from their seniors for Jixia Academy's recruitment this time. They had almost broken through to Early-Stage Nascent Soul, and a small portion of them had already reached Mid-Stage Nascent Soul.

However, their previous average cultivation level was originally only Golden Core Sixth or Seventh Refinement Stage. Although they did increase their cultivation level to Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage or even broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, their foundation was still weak.

Therefore, even if they used their full strength, they were still far from opening the last Spirit Mountain.

"Let me try!"

A prodigy walked forward. This time it was the Middle Ground Sky Sword Saint. He was at Late-Stage Nascent Soul and had broken through at Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage.

His whole body shone brightly, and the avatar of countless swords appeared in the sky. He held a crimson red longsword in his hands and light overflowed from it.

The Sky Sword Saint took a step forward and swung his longsword forward. He looked elegant and nimble but also exuded crushing force and unrivaled sharpness!

At that instant, sword aura covered the whole sky, sending shivers down others' spines!

The sword aura was vast and mighty, like it could pierce through everything as it slashed toward the last Spirit Mountain.

The divine light overflowed while space shook!

Boom!

A loud explosion resounded!

The formation of the last Spirit Mountain had finally been breached.

At that instant, the whole place shone brilliantly, and the thick Spirit Qi surged out like torrential waves, shocking everyone!

"It was actually breached?"

All the prodigies absorbed the Spirit Qi that flowed out greedily and felt as if something was changing inside them. Their cultivation level had even improved slightly.

Some prodigies were overjoyed as they spoke. "What Elder Su said is correct. These Spirit Mountains are the dreamland for cultivation!"

These Spirit Mountains all had Spirit Qi Gathering Formations, so the Spirit Qi density was 10 times to even 100 times higher than other places!

If one could occupy a Spirit Mountain, then their cultivation speed would definitely increase greatly.

As such, the passion of all the prodigies had been completely sparked!

No one could reject such an ideal land for cultivation!

Elder Su nodded. This was really the golden age as the talent of this generation's top prodigies was outstanding.

Although, as compared to the previous generations, the prodigies recruited beforehand this time were younger, they were not weaker than the previous generation at all in terms of strength. Especially those few prodigies that were the most remarkable, their talents were simply extraordinary!

Of course, most of the prodigies present were all ordinary. They could only fight for the lower-ranked Spirit Mountains, and no one dared to get close to those Spirit Mountains of higher rankings.

A Saint tried challenging a Spirit Mountain of higher ranking and was directly injured heavily—that made others could not help but be struck with terror.

Elder Su explained, "Those higher-ranked Spirit Mountains are extremely powerful, don't attempt conquering them rashly.

"If you want to break through the formation, you need to be at least Peak-Stage Nascent Soul from Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage.

"You would even need to be above Mid-Stage Soul Formation to be able to challenge the top 10 Spirit Mountains!"

Late Stage Nascent Soul from Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage was only the bottom line to be able to break through the last six Spirit Mountains.

If one wanted to challenge a higher ranked Spirit Mountain, the requirement for their strength would be even higher, and most would give up.

If they forcibly made a move, they would definitely be injured heavily from the formation's backlash.

Of course, Shen Tian and his group were the exceptions.

The physique and cultivation levels of the top four Divine Firmament prodigies had increased to the extreme after eating the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, far surpassing their peers!

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu had even broken through to the Soul Formation stage with the help of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills!

They could be said to be peerless prodigies that only appeared once in a millennium by achieving such a level at such an age!

Those Spirit Mountains were obstacles that others could not overcome, but it would be a piece of cake for them.

After looking for so long, they had a basic understanding of the situation, so they were eager to try too.

That was especially so for Shopkeeper Song and the others from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. Their eyes were burning with passion.

Xiong Meng said in anticipation, "I wonder when I can break through a Spirit Mountain's formation. If I can enter such a place to cultivate, it will simply be too blissful!"

Xiong Meng was originally only an ordinary cultivator. It was because he followed Shen Tian and obtained the Mixed Divine Lightning that he had improved greatly.

Not only did the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground focus on nurturing the Divine Firnamnet disciple, but he even successfully reached Golden Core Sixth Firmament Stage and entered Jixia Academy.

However, given Xiong Meng's talent and strength, he was destined to be unable to break through the Spirit Mountain's formation.

As for Shopkeeper Song and Liu Taiyi, their strength was on par with Xiong Meng. Thus, if Xiong Meng could not do it, they would naturally be incapable too.

Shen Tian smiled. "Uncle Gui, how about you help them get a Spirit Mountain?"

Shopkeeper Liu and Liu Taiyi had followed Shen Tian for a long time, and they were both core members of the Favored Ones. They were loyal to Shen Tian and would handle matters for Shen Tian flawlessly. Naturally, Shen Tian would not forget them when there were benefits.

Eunuch Gui walked forward and said respectfully, "Yes, I understand!"

After obtaining the Golden Crow Thearch's imperial sutra, Eunuch Gui's strength had been increasing rapidly.

In addition, he had consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, so he had reached Late-Stage Nascent Soul from Golden Core Tenth Firmament Stage. It could be said that Eunuch Gui's talent and battle prowess was not weaker than those Saints and Saintesses' from top sacred grounds!

Frankly speaking, it was not difficult for him to challenge a Spirit Mountain.

"Then, I'll pick this one!"

Eunuch Gui had chosen the 21st Spirit Mountain.

One would need Peak-Stage Nascent Soul battle prowess from Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage to be able to break through this Spirit Mountain.

Such a requirement could be said to be extremely demanding!

Even those Saints and Saintesses would also be unable to reach that level.

However, Eunuch Gui felt that he should be able to do it.

Although his cultivation level was only Late-Stage Nascent Soul, and in theory, there was still quite a difference in terms of cultivation level, Eunuch Gui had reached Late-Stage Nascent Soul from Golden Core Tenth Firmament Stage. Thus, he had enough foundation to challenge it!

Eunuch Gui flew through the air, and the avatar of six blazing suns was formed behind him as he headed toward the 21st Spirit Mountain!

The surrounding prodigies were all astonished as they saw such a scene and exclaimed, "Someone actually dares to challenge that Spirit Mountain!"

Even those Late-Stage Nascent Soul from Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage had vomited blood from attacking the 30th Spirit Mountain. Who would have expected that someone would still not give up and dare to challenge the 21st Spirit Mountain!?

He's just looking for death!

"Just who is that person? He's too conceited!"

The various prodigies were filled with astonishment. Even a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Saint had been unable to break through the 30th Saint Mountain, so where did that person have the confidence to say that he would challenge the 21st Saint Mountain?

Shortly after, someone thought of something and said, "That person's cultivation technique seems to contain the mighty power of Yang. Is it possible that he's the Nine Sun Saint this time round?"

The Nine Sun Sacred Ground was also one of the famous sacred grounds in Middle Ground and was best in using the mighty power of Yang.

If it really was the Nine Sun Saint, it would not be strange for him to be this arrogant.

However, currently, the Nine Sun Saint was dumbfounded.

What's happening?

If he's the Nine Sun Saint... Then who am I?

He does seem to be a Nine Sun disciple due to his technique. The problem is, why am I not aware that there's such a person in the Nine Sun Sacred Ground!?

Although his cultivation technique is indeed similar, why do I feel... that I would face a crushing defeat with his strength!?

Is it possible that I'm a fake Nine Sun Saint, and he's the real one?

Did those old things from the sacred ground secretly nurture another Saint, and they want to abandon me?

F*ck! It's possible!?

At that instant, the Nine Sun Saint had a mental breakdown.

Chapter 429: Outstanding Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

The light behind Eunuch Gui shone even more brightly, and the six blazing suns were like a furnace, heating up the surroundings!

He walked forward in mid-air as he stepped on the blazing divine rainbow. It was an extremely dazzling scene as he dashed toward that 21st Spirit Mountain.

"The Nine Sun Saint is charging toward the 21st Saint Mountain!"

"Can he really do it?"

Everyone was astonished as they stared at Eunuch Gui.

Eunuch Gui cultivated the Imperial Sutra of Sun, which was originally from the source of the Nine Sun Battle Sutra. The Nine Sun Battle Sutra was but a branch out created from the Imperial Sutra of Sun.

The Imperial Sutra of Sun was the legitimate one, so it was naturally easier to shock others with the strength it unleashed.

Therefore, all the prodigies thought that Eunuch Gui was the Nine Sun Saint!

The real Nine Sun Saint's mouth twitched vigorously. He was on the brink of tears as he looked at the fake Saint, who was even stronger than him.

Boom!

The radiant light shone in all directions!

Eunuch Gui shot the six suns toward the 21st Spirit Mountain like shooting stars!

At that instant, light from those suns soared into the sky and blinded everyone!

The Spirit Mountain emitted a resplendent light that contained the laws of heaven and earth, unleashing a mighty aura that filled the air.

Rays of colored divine light enveloped the Spirit Mountain. It formed a Milky Way screen, which hung down from the top of the mountain, isolating the Spirit Mountain from everything else.

The blazing hot sun collided with the light, and endless waves of aura formed, even shaking the laws!

The prodigies all frowned. "Even that can't breach it?"

Eunuch Gui had unleashed formidable strength. It was on par with a full-out strike by a Peak-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator from Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.

Even so, the 21st Spirit Mountain's formation was still not broken through?

The Nine Sun Saint heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank god, thank god."

The Nine Sun Saint was worried that if Eunuch Gui really broke through the formation, those old fossils from the sacred ground would directly revoke his Saint's position. Afterward, they would invite this fake Saint, who only god knew where he had appeared to the sacred ground.

Since the battle prowess Eunuch Gui revealed was just too powerful, the Nine Sun Saint felt ashamed of his inferiority and felt that his position was hanging by a thread.

However, afterward, Nine Sun Saint was dumbfounded, and his body started trembling.

That was because he saw that Eunuch Gui had not given up. Instead, he took out a longsword which was covered in golden light.

The longsword shone brightly as it was enveloped in Sun Fire and emitted a fearsome aura!

As if sensing the power of that longsword, the Nine Sun Saint was speechless. "It can't be. He also has a Sage artifact?"

The Nine Sun Saint was in disbelief—Eunuch Gui also had a Sage artifact!

Also, it was a Sage sword that was compatible with his cultivation technique and could maximize the increase in his battle strength!

One had to know that as the Saint of the Nine Sun Sacred Ground, he did not have a Sagee artifact.

However, this fake Saint in front of him actually had a Sage longsword!

Frankly speaking, the Nine Sun Saint was envious!

As a Saint, he had lost to even a nameless person!

How could this be!?

At that moment, the other prodigies also had similar thoughts.

Sage artifacts were not commonplace cabbages but a scarce resource!

Even the Saints of the sacred grounds would not be given a Sage artifact too early.

Therefore, everyone was all the more convinced that Eunuch Gui was the Nine Sun Saint. After all, only a Saint could have a Sage artifact. If he was not the Saint, how was it possible that he could have such a powerful Sage artifact?

That was the only reasonable explanation!

In fact, this Blazing Sun Sacred Sword in Eunuch Gui's hands was something Shen Tian had obtained from the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb!

The Golden Crow Thearch had even given the Immortal Abode Island Token to Shen Tian, so the treasures within the tomb naturally belonged to him.

Thus, Shen Tian had found that sword from within a huge pile of the Golden Crow Thearch's treasures.

That sword was quite useless to Shen Tian as he originally had the Purple-Green Double Swords and Executing Heaven Sword.

Therefore, he had directly given the Blazing Sun Sacred Sword to Eunuch Gui as he was one of his people.

Luckily, the Blazing Sun Sacred Sword was also compatible with the imperial sutra that Eunuch Gui was cultivating, thus improving his battle prowess greatly.

Eunuch Gui was so fond of the Blazing Sun Sacred Sword that he did not let go of it for even one second!

Right there and then, he had said that he wanted to serve His Highness with that Blazing Sun Sacred Sword to defend His Highness' safety and honor.

Meanwhile, it was a great opportunity!

Eunuch Gui held the Blazing Sun Sacred Sword in his hands, and his whole body was enveloped by the Sun Fire as if he himself was the blazing sun!

He shone brightly and magnificently, making the light emitted by the Spirit Mountain pale in comparison!

Eunuch Gui waved his Blazing Sun Sacred Sword, and a powerful sword aura was unleashed, piercing through the air!

That flaming sword aura was like a solar flare—it suddenly exploded, made the whole ground tremble, and threw the laws into chaos.

The impenetrable Spirit Mountain's formation finally cracked, and the divine light scattered!

"He's going to succeed?"

When looking at such a scene, the various prodigies' eyes lit up.

They also wanted to see just how miraculous the 21st Spirit Mountain was since there was still no one in their generation that could break through such a high-rank Spirit Mountain!

Eunuch Gui was excited as he saw the hope of opening the Spirit Mountain, so he did not hold back anymore and unleashed all his strength!

"Crack open!" Eunuch Gui shouted and brandished his Blazing Sun Sacred Sword once again.

Sun Fire was gathered to the tip of his sword and formed a huge sunflower, which smashed toward the Spirit Mountain.

Crash!

The ground shook, and the Spirit Mountain trembled!

The 21st Spirit Mountain's formation finally could not endure it anymore and was split open by Eunuch Gui's two strikes. Then divine light overflowed everywhere.

Thick Spirit Qi gushed out of the Spirit Mountain like turbulent waves and spread throughout the whole area.

The prodigies were all astounded. They felt as if boundless Spirit Qi surrounded them, and they enjoyed it.

As expected of a high-ranked Spirit Mountain. Those low-ranked Spirit Mountain could not be compared at all.

The 21st Spirit Mountain's density was a few times higher than the 30th Spirit Mountain, and the Spirit Qi had already condensed to form fog.

However, as compared to the Spirit Mountain, everyone's attention was on Eunuch Gui, who had broken through its formation.

That was a formation that required the battle strength of a Peak-Stage Nascent Soul expert that had reached Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.

However, Eunuch Gui had sliced through it with just two strikes!

How could they not be surprised?

Many prodigies engaged in heated discussions.

"The Nine Sun Sacred Ground is destined to be extraordinary with such a Saint!"

"The Nine Sun Sacred Ground has really obtained a treasure. They actually found such a prodigy to be their Saint!"

"Sigh... Looks like our Nine Yin Sacred Ground is destined to be unable to surpass them!"

Not only were there people praising Eunuch Gui's strength, but there were even some that approached Eunuch Gui, wanting to become friends with him.

"Nine Sun Saint, I am the Sky Incinerating Saint. I hope I can discuss cultivation matters with you."

"I am the true disciple of the Yang Fire Grotto-Heaven. I hope that Nine Sun Saint could advise me."

"I am from the Orgy Grotto-Heaven. Does the Nine Sun Saint have a Dao Companion?"

They were all prodigies in Golden Core Sixth or Seventh Firmament Stage, so naturally, they would not be able to open the Spirit Mountains on their own.

Therefore, they wanted to be on good terms with those prodigies who opened those Spirit Mountains.

If possible, they might even be able to enter the Spirit Mountain to cultivate for free!

A chance to enter the Spirit Mountain was something no one could refuse!

Not to mention this was even a 21st Spirit Mountain!

The Nine Sun Saint's mouth twitched crazily as he heard such praises.

"I am the true Nine Sun Saint! I am!"

Eunuch Gui was stunned. 'Who is the Nine Sun Saint?'

However, he quickly understood and smiled.

"I am not the Nine Sun Saint!

"I am only an old servant of the Divine Firmament Saint!

"It's all because of His Highness that I could have such achievements!"

Without Shen Tian, Eunuch Gui might still be a eunuch in the Country of Fire, so how could he enjoy the respect and admiration of others?

He became more and more grateful toward Shen Tian!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Such a powerful prodigy is not the Nine Sun Saint but just a servant?

You must be joking!

Whose servant is this powerful?

A servant who possesses a Sage artifact and whose battle strength is on par with Peak-Stage Nascent Soul from Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage!?

I don't even have a Sage artifact!

Eh? Wait a minute!

The Divine Firmament Saint's servant!?

No wonder!

However, even the Divine Firmament Saint's servant is this powerful!

Then won't the Divine Firmament Saint's strength be immeasurable?

Tsk, almighty dollar!

The Divine Firmament Saint was already famous in the five regions since long ago, so these prodigies had already heard of his name.

After learning Eunuch Gui's true identity, the expression of the prodigies changed to astonishment and reverence!

The prodigies all said respectfully, "So you're under the Divine Firmament Saint, sorry for the misunderstanding!"

"See? I said that he's not the Nine Sun Saint. How could a mere Nine Sun Sacred Ground have such an exceptional prodigy like you?"

The Nine Sun Saint's mouth twitched vigorously as he doubted himself.

They were flattering the Nine Sun Sacred Ground moments ago, but now they've begun mocking it?

Is it possible that just an old servant of the Divine Firmament Saint is better than me, the Nine Sun Saint?

Alright, it seems I can't compare with him purely in terms of battle strength.

Then talent-wise... It looks like I can't compare either.

F*ck! How do you want me to compare!?

Just kill me already!

It's better not to be this Nine Sun Saint!

It's just too f*cking humiliating!

Seeing how Eunuch Gui had broken through the Spirit Mountain's formation, the top four Divine Firmament prodigies could not bear it either and stepped forward.

Those Spirit Mountains were not only their residence, but they could also increase their cultivation speed greatly. No one would be willing to give up on this opportunity.

Also, after battling the 10 Middle Ground Heavenly Venerables, the four of them had all been enlightened. Their cultivation levels had increased to Peak-Stage Nascent Soul, and they were not far from the Soul Formation stage.

Thus, given their unparalleled talent and Peak-Stage Nascent Soul battle strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to occupy a Spirit Mountain!

The four of them flew into the air, and lightning appeared behind them—they looked like gods controlling lightning!

The four of them stood proudly in mid-air with a majestic aura!

The prodigies' attention was also attracted to them as they sensed the fearsome aura from the sky. Their bodies shook.

"It's the top four Divine Firmament prodigies!"

"They're also going to make a move? Which Spirit Mountain would they choose?"

In the outside world, rumors said that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was the strongest sacred ground in Eastern Wilderness, and all the prodigies within it all had peerless talent, especially the top four Divine Firmament prodigies. They were the strongest prodigies besides the Divine Firmament Saint and could be compared to other sacred grounds' top Saints and Saintesses!

Eunuch Gui's strength had already convinced everyone!

Therefore, just how powerful would the top four Divine Firmament prodigies, who were even stronger than Eunuch Gui, be?

Everyone paid close attention to the four of them, their eyes filled with anticipation!

The four of them flew past the last few Spirit Mountains and reached where the top 10 Spirit Mountains were.

The prodigies widened their eyes, and their jaws dropped.

"It can't be... No way... Impossible!"

"They are actually going to challenge the top 10 Spirit Mountains?"

The prodigies were astounded. Although the four of them were well-known as peerless prodigies, this was just too astonishing.

Other Saints were trying their best in the last few Saint Mountains while the top four Divine Firmament prodigies had directly headed to the top 10 Saint Mountains?

What a disparity. They were just too powerful!

The various prodigies were doubtful.

"Didn't Elder Su say that the top 10 Spirit Mountains needed one to be at Mid-Stage Soul Formation?"

"Are the four of them bold because they have the confidence to challenge the top 10 Spirit Mountain?"

"Or do they just want to show off?"

The various prodigies did not believe that the four of them could break through the top 10 Spirit Mountains!

They were all disciples of sacred grounds, so why were they so daring to do such a thing?

Even Elder Su looked at them with interest!

The 36 Spirit Mountains were all extraordinary and filled with formations, and only peerless prodigies had the qualifications to break through them.

Even the lowest requirement must be Late-Stage Nascent Soul from Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage.

The Spirit Mountain ranked 10th to 5th even required Mid-Stage Soul Formation battle strength!

In the past, the number of prodigies that could break through the top 10 Spirit Mountains could be counted on one hand, and just breaking through one could make one renowned.

The four of them were going to challenge the top 10 Spirit Mountains—it was an unprecedented attempt.

When everyone was still discussing, the four of them had already made their moves.

"Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, I'll make the first move!"

Zhao Hao cupped his hands together and took the initiative.

He charged towards the 8th Spirit Mountain with the Red-Black Cloud Staff in his hands!

Zhao Hao lifted the huge Red-Black Cloud Staff, but it did not seem heavy at all. Instead, it seemed extremely light and nimble.

As the Red-Black Cloud Staff was spun in the air, raging flames and lightning were formed. Its power was so terrifying that it seemed to be able to topple the mountains and overturn the seas!

Zhao Hao swung his Red-Black Cloud Staff with a domineering aura!

The 8th Spirit Mountain's formation was extremely powerful as countless laws manifested and formed an impenetrable nomological shield!

However, under the ferocious attacks of Zhao Hao, a huge hole was formed with a loud thud, and divine light shone from within!

Zhang Yunting shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Junior Brother Zhao is simply too rough!"

He took a step forward and elegantly took out his Sky Dragon Seven Note Zither.

He played graceful music which bombarded the 7th Spirit Mountain.

The music was sweet and pleasant, making one immerse in that exquisite melody. However, they would discover that those notes were like a powerful army fighting and letting out ferocious roars if they sensed carefully.

Those notes turned into sharp blades which pierced through the air. The razor-sharp blades seemed to want to tear through everything in their way.

The endless laws of the 7th Spirit Mountain's formation had been destroyed under the endless attacks of Zhang Yunting, which were like turbulent waves.

Fang Chang's eyes lit up. He shook his head and exclaimed, "Second Junior Brother had hidden his strength really deep!"

Zhang Yunting had always been keeping a low profile, so his true strength was unknown.

However, the battle prowess he displayed now was not weaker than a Mid-Stage Heavenly Venerable at all!

Fang Chang raised his brows and asked, "Junior Sister, which Spirit Mountain are you going to choose?"

He discovered that Zhang Yunxi had already charged toward the 6th Spirit Mountain when he turned to look at her.

Fang Chang shouted, "Junior Sister, why didn't you tell me when you would leave? Wait for me!"

After finishing, Fang Chang took out his Domineering Dragon Spear and charged toward the 5th Spirit Mountain!

Crash, crash, crash!

Rumble rumble rumble!

A deafening sound resounded throughout the whole Small World!

Zhang Yunxi swung her Golden Phoenix Sacred Sword, and VII Mixed Divine Lightning (Metal) gathered to form a towering sword that seemed to traverse the heavens and the earth!

Boom!

That brilliant sword aura was slashed toward the 6th Spirit Mountain and caused countless formations to soar into the sky, releasing eye-blinding light which covered the whole sky!

First slash!

Second slash!

Third slash!

The formation on the 6th Spirit Mountain shook vigorously as laws surrounded it, and a huge crack was formed!

Fang Chang then swung his Domineering Dragon Spear and pierced toward the 5th Spirit Mountain.

At that instant, spear aura surged out.

Fearsome aura pierced through the air and sliced countless holes in the formation!

Shortly after, the four Spirit Mountains' formations had all been broken through by the four of them.

Rays of light blot out the sky and the sun while the ground trembled!

Countless people were dumbstruck as they stared at the four of them who stood proudly on top of the four Spirit Mountains. They were all speechless from the shock.

There were those that could not help but exclaim, "How is this possible?"

The four of them could actually unleash Mid-Stage Soul Formation battle strength with just Peak-Stage Nascent Soul cultivation level!

Even the four Spirit Mountains did not last long and were broken through by their attacks.

Although they had used Sage artifacts, their talent was also astonishing!

Sage artifacts were rare, but some Saints of certain sacred grounds still had them!

However, even if they borrowed the power of the Sage artifacts, it was impossible for them to reach the battle prowess of the four of them!

For example, a three-year-old child holding a knife would definitely be more threatening than a child without a knife!

However, that child would not be able to defeat a middle-aged man no matter what! The two of them were not on the same level at all!

They were incredible!

The Divine Firmament disciples of this generation truly had amazing talent!

That made them even more curious about the Divine Firmament Saint, who had yet to make a move.

Just how exceptional was he to have so many peerless prodigies willing to follow him!?

Just thinking about that made them excited!

Chapter 430: I Didn't Exert Much Strength And You Already Broke?

The four top Divine Firmament prodigies displayed their power when they conquered the top 10 Spirit Mountains, sending shockwaves all around.

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu would not be left behind. They stepped out, all prepared to challenge the top 10 Spirit Mountains!

The appearance of those two ignited a heated debate. After all, their battle accolades were even more exceptional than the top four Divine Firmament prodigies.

They had defeated Shi Ling and Shi Kui. This alone was enough to make them famous in Jixia Academy!

"Is the Purple Mansion Saint going to make his move too?"

"I heard that Qi Shaoxuan has the Thearch potential. I wonder which Spirit Mountain he would choose?"

"Anyway, it cannot be worse off than the ones chosen by the top four Divine Firmament prodigies!"

"And the Great Void Saint. He has always been very good at controlling the void!"

"I think he should also be very formidable!"

"I heard that previously, he even defeated someone very powerful within seconds!"

Qi Shaoxuan was the former number one on the Eastern Wilderness Golden Core List. His reputation had already spread all the way to Middle Ground!

Before Shen Tian was born, he had dominated over the younger generation in Eastern Wilderness. Countless people feared and respected him.

And as the current Great Void Saint, Wang Shenxu was just as formidable.

More importantly, he had sparred with Shi Kui previously, sacrificed hundreds of years of his life, and defeated the latter within seconds.

It could be imagined just how powerful that attack was.

It was just a "friendly sparring" session, but he had been hardcore enough to sacrifice hundreds of years of his life...

No one across the five regions would dare to offend such a person.

Impulsive people feared violent people, while violent people feared those who had no care for their own lives!

Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu exuded powerful auras. Many prodigies felt an inward shudder of fear.

This was an aura that belonged to a Soul Formation stage practitioner!

To be able to reach the Soul Formation stage at this age—they were definitely amongst the top of all their peers across the five regions!

The prodigies were very eager to see just how powerful these two were.

Wang Shenxu gazed at the top four mountains with blazing eyes.

Given his cultivation level and status, he would naturally choose the 3rd and 4th Spirit Mountains.

A Mid-Stage Heavenly Venerable practitioner could only conquer even the weakest of the top 10 Spirit Mountains.

So for the 3rd and 4th Spirit Mountains, only a Peak-Stage Heavenly Venerable would be able to conquer them!

The 1st and 2nd Spirit Mountains were even more formidable. Only someone at the Tribulation Transcendence stage would be able to conquer them.

As a result, those two did not even consider the 1st and 2nd Spirit Mountains.

They might be able to challenge a higher-level practitioner than them, but they did not feel that they would be able to go so far as to challenge Sage-level prowess.

Gazing at the Spirit Mountain in front of him, Wang Shenxu smiled. "Qi Shaoxuan, want to make this a competition?"

Wang Shenxu raised his eyebrows as he challenged Qi Shaoxuan.

After breaking through to the Soul Formation stage, Wang Shenxu's lifespan had greatly increased, and his confidence surged.

He had always wanted to compete with Qi Shaoxuan for the position of number two in the world.

However, Qi Shaoxuan was very powerful, and a battle between the two of them would go on for a long time. He had no idea if he had enough vitality to last so long!

As a result, he wanted to compete with Qi Shaoxuan via other methods.

Qi Shaoxuan's eyes lit up. "Why not?"

Wang Shenxu was no weakling. Qi Shaoxuan acknowledged that he was his top opponent for the position of number two in the world.

Qi Shaoxuan had always been very proud. He would never admit to being weaker than anyone else, except for Shen Tian!

There was no way he would reject Wang Shenxu's challenge!

Wang Shenxu smiled. "Very well. I shall make a move first then!"

With that, he charged toward the 3rd Spirit Mountain.

"Haha, Qi Shaoxuan, you are a fool! You will lose after I conquer this 3rd Spirit Mountain!"

Wang Shenxu had a very simple line of thinking.

The difficulty level between the 3rd and 4th Spirit Mountains was not that vast. Both required the battle prowess of a peak Heavenly Venerable.

As long as he could conquer the 3rd Spirit Mountain, he would be able to stand ahead of Qi Shaoxuan.

After all, third would always be better than fourth!

If he could conquer the 3rd Spirit Mountain, he would be able to crow about his achievement!

Qi Shaoxuan remained calm. "Conquer that first. We will see after that!"

Wang Shenxu hollered. "Watch carefully. It will be a piece of cake for me!"

With that, a divine light shone out of Wang Shenxu's body as void energy surged forth to form a massive void blade!

The sharp blade sliced through the fabrics of space, heading straight toward the 3rd Spirit Mountain!

Clang!

The void blade hacked down on the rock walls of the 3rd Spirit Mountain as countless light rays erupted.

Dazzling energy waves swept across the area and covered the sky!

The 3rd Spirit Mountain was covered in a thick fog. It possessed a powerful formation that spanned all the way into the skies!

The void blade was sharp and made a large crack.

"Qi Shaoxuan, did you see that? I will be able to complete this before long!"

Wang Shenxu was full of confidence. He felt that this 3rd Spirit Mountain would never be able to withstand him!

However, what happened next had him jumping in rage.

The crack on the 3rd Spirit Mountain still had a layer of formation covering it. Energy surged over it continuously, mending the crack.

"Damn, what the hell? How is that fair?"

Wang Shenxu's eyes widened. This Spirit Mountain could regenerate?

The 3rd Spirit Mountain's formation soon mended the crack!

Void blade!

Void sword!

Void hack!

Wang Shenxu hurriedly exhibited a large number of killing moves, with every intention of completely breaking through the 3rd Spirit Mountain!

But as hard as he tried, he failed to get close to his mark!

Meanwhile, Qi Shaoxuan had already stepped forward in a dashing manner to start attacking the 4th Spirit Mountain!

With his Heaven's Halberd in hand, his purple aura surged to form a dragon avatar, which roared into the universe!

The Heaven's Halberd struck out with fearsome energy.

After several strikes, multiple cracks appeared on the 4th Spirit Mountain!

This Spirit Mountain was also surrounded by a formation, and it kept mending itself, trying to defend itself.

Its speed of recovery was not that far off from the 3rd Spirit Mountain's.

The Heaven's Halberd was sharp and continuously suppressed the power of the mountain.

Qi Shaoxuan then made a major move. His Purple Aura River Mountain technique filled the space as his Heaven's Halberd struck down with a force that shook the entire region.

Dazzling divine light morphed into a purple divine dragon that charged straight toward the 4th Spirit Mountain.

Boundless divine energy concentrated on the 4th Spirit Mountain, causing its formation to be blown to bits.

Qi Shaoxuan had always been powerful. After consuming the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, his constitution had evolved, and his abilities surpassed all limits!

When going all out, his attack was as powerful as that of a peak Heavenly Venerable!

Even the 4th Spirit Mountain could not hold on for much longer. Its formation was shattered by Qi Shaoxuan's mighty attack.

Fear and awe appeared on the faces of countless prodigies as they witnessed this scene.

"He is indeed the Purple Mansion Saint. He managed to conquer the 4th Spirit Mountain after 36 moves!"

"This level of battle prowess is far beyond me!"

"No wonder he was the most ex-most-powerful prodigy in Eastern Wilderness. He is indeed extraordinary!"

Thereafter, the prodigies all turned their eyes toward Wang Shenxu.

"But why hasn't the Great Void Saint conquered his mountain yet?"

"I thought I heard the Great Void Saint say earlier that conquering the 3rd Spirit Mountain would be a piece of cake to him? Could I have misheard?"

"The Great Void Saint doesn't look that great. Why are there barely any results after so long?"

"He is also an early-stage Soul Formation practitioner. Why is there such a big difference?"

Wang Shenxu looked very anxious. He muttered to himself, "This array formation is so difficult to break! If I don't break it now, it will be a major loss of face for me!"

The difficulty level between the 3rd and 4th Spirit Mountains was not that different. Both required the battle prowess of a peak Heavenly Venerable.

But the 3rd Spirit Mountain's array formation was still somewhat stronger than the 4th. Its ability to regenerate was also stronger.

He should be able to conquer it with his usual attacks, but it would just take a longer time.

"Damn, I don't care. At the very most, I will just have to go back and continue cultivating in my tortoise pose!"

"Damn Spirit Mountain, take that!"

If I delay any longer, my reputation will go down the drain! And Qi Shaoxuan has already completed and is standing there with his arms crossed and watching me!

Wang Shenxu didn't wish to waste any more time. He must conquer that 3rd Spirit Mountain even if he had to expend his life energy!

He reached out and expended 600 years of his life to form a Great Void Palm and smacked it right down on the 3rd Spirit Mountain!

This life-expending attack was indeed different.

The massive palm print smashed the 3rd Spirit Mountain's formation within seconds.

Boundless spirit qi surged in waves around the huge mountain.

The 3rd Spirit Mountain.. had been broken!

Wang Shenxu was delighted that he finally conquered the 3rd Spirit Mountain.

He gazed at Qi Shaoxuan arrogantly. "Qi Shaoxuan, see that? I smashed it with just one palm strike. Am I good, or am I good?"

Qi Shaoxuan glanced at him before saying simply, "600 years!"

The corners of Wang Shenxu's lips twitched as bitter bile rose up in his throat.

He had lost out big time! He had wasted a whole 600 years!

But since he had already expended it, he had no choice but to put up a brave front.

He puffed out his chest and gave a stiff, cold smile. "My Spirit Mountain is ranked higher than yours!"

"You expended 600 years of your life!"

"My Spirit Mountain has thicker Spirit Qi than yours!"

"You expended 600 years of your life!"

Wang Shenxu was exasperated. "Can you stop mentioning the words '600 years'?"

Qi Shaoxuan remained expressionless. "You expended 500 plus 100 years of your life!"

Wang Shenxu: "Damn you!!!"

The prodigies stared at Wang Shenxu, who was standing proudly at the top of the 3rd Spirit Mountain. The corners of their mouths twitched.

This guy was a really hardcore character. He used up his life energy as if it were nothing!

'He is definitely not one to offend. In future, we must keep away from him.'

Who could stand against someone who was willing to cut his own life over a small matter?

Shen Tian looked at Wang Shenxu, also feeling rather pained.

This kid is so wasteful. He only recently restored his lifespan to the maximum level?

Just two days after arriving at Jixia Academy, and he has already expended over 1,000 years?

Even a tortoise with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years cannot afford to waste his years like that!

Don't tell me that expending your life energy is pleasurable like sex? It can be very addictive?

A sudden realization dawned upon Shen Tian as he observed Wang Shenxu's pale face and dark eye bags.

No wonder this fellow is touted as the Great Void Saint!

After doing it so many times, of course, he will be as empty as the void!

"Of the top Eastern Wilderness prodigies, only the Divine Firmament Saint has yet to make his move!"

"I wonder which Spirit Mountain will he challenge?"

"No matter what, he would at least be on par with the Purple Mansion Saint and the Great Void Saint!"

"Do you think the Divine Firmament Saint can conquer the 1st Spirit Mountain?"

"Isn't that a bit too much? That is a True Sage level!"

Every single one of the prodigies who managed to enroll in Jixia Academy was a formidable practitioner.

But after meeting Shen Tian and his group, they realized just how inferior they were compared to him.

As a result, everyone felt very curious.

What kind of astonishing performance would Shen Tian display before these 36 Spirit Mountains!

Even Elder Su also felt rather curious.

This kid was someone whom even the Great Thearch looked favorably upon!

Of the top 10 Spirit Mountains, only the first two and last two were left!

With the Divine Firmament Saint's reputation, he would never choose the last two!

This only left the 1st and 2nd Spirit Mountains to choose from!

But the 1st and 2nd Spirit Mountains were not that easy to break.

To conquer the 2nd Spirit Mountain, one must possess the battle prowess of an Early-Stage Sage!

Over the past 5,000 years, only three newly-enrolled students had managed to do that.

Those three were all extraordinary practitioners and went on to become outstanding leaders in their own right!

And the difficulty of the 1st Spirit Mountain was even greater. Only a True Sage who had undergone four tribulations would be able to conquer it.

Since Jixia Academy was established, no one had been able to do it!

Everyone wondered if this highly-acclaimed Divine Firmament Saint would challenge the 1st Spirit Mountain.

Or would he fail to live up to his reputation and not be able to break even the 2nd Spirit Mountain!

At that moment, all eyes were on Shen Tian!

The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched when he felt everyone's searing eyes on him.

He just wanted to concentrate on his cultivation and development and quietly leverage off the providence of others. He didn't expect this to happen at Jixia Academy.

And those buddies of his were all boasting about him.

Sigh... I really want to keep a low profile but can't.

Luckily, these Spirit Mountains are a good training ground.

I can receive school credits and treasures as a reward if I can break these formations. That's some form of comfort.

Wait a minute!

Shen Tian had an idea. His eyes lit up.

Isn't this a good chance to hide my true strength?

If I can put up an Oscar-worthy performance, there's no way I can't fool those kids.

Yeap, I will do that!

Shen Tian made a decision and strode toward the 2nd Spirit Mountain.

As expected, everyone immediately focused on Shen Tian the moment he moved.

"The Divine Firmament Saint is making his move!"

"He has chosen the 2nd Spirit Mountain. Isn't he going to choose the 1st?"

"But the 1st Spirit Mountain is really too difficult. It is already outstanding that he has chosen the 2nd."

"Everyone, let's guess how many moves it will take the Divine Firmament Saint to break the 2nd Spirit Mountain?"

Shen Tian's name had already spread across the five regions. There were even rumors of him defeating Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerables and Sages!

It should be no problem for Shen Tian to conquer the 2nd Spirit Mountain in everyone's opinion!

But even amongst Sages, there were those who were weaker, and those were more powerful.

How would the Divine Firmament Saint compare to other Sages?

The prodigies waited eagerly for the Divine Firmament Saint to make his move.

They were really very curious!

Shen Tian smiled and stood before the 2nd Spirit Mountain.

Purple light dazzled as a huge purple hammer appeared in his hand!

Shen Tian muttered quietly. "I will strike 800-1,000 times to just barely break open the 2nd Spirit Mountain. That should be low-profile enough!"

Everyone knows my battle prowess is already Sage-level. If I make it look too fake, no one will believe my performance. Let me pretend to be an Early-Stage Sage. That should be enough to convince them all!

Shen Tian was serious about hiding his true strength. He didn't even take out his Ocean Divine Hammer.

He was worried that if his attack was too powerful, it would terrify the others.

He charged forward with his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer and struck down on the 2nd Spirit Mountain.

The Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer radiated with divine light, mighty and firm. Its aura was awe-inspiring.

But in actual fact, Shen Tian had only activated a small portion of his power!

Or should I say... just a teeny, tiny~

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Every single strike made the 2nd Spirit Mountain's formation shake violently.

But the 2nd Spirit Mountain's formation remained strong and didn't crack!

Divine energy bounced off and spread across the area, causing countless prodigies to shudder in fear.

"He is indeed the Divine Firmament Saint. He is able to attack the Second Spirit Mountain with such force!"

"I think he will be able to break it very soon!"

"In my opinion, the Divine Firmament Saint's battle prowess is definitely on par with an Early-Stage Sage!"

"Yes, yes. Even if he can't win one, he probably won't lose either!"

Although Shen Tian only used a teeny, tiny bit of his power, it was enough to make countless prodigies convinced of his prowess.

After all, he was the only one at present who could make the Second Spirit Mountain shake so violently!

To those youngsters, it was already a very mighty feat to shake a sage-level array formation.

As for a Heavenly Venerable defeating a True Sage... or even a Nascent Soul practitioner killing a True Sage...

No, no, they didn't even dare to imagine that!

My acting skills are too good. It is a pity that I am not in the movies!

The corners of Shen Tian's curled upwards when he overheard the opinions of those prodigies.

Haha, on par with an Early-Stage Sage?

Very good. This is the exact type of rumor I need.

My battle prowess is only on par with that of an Early-Stage Sage.

Who said I could defeat a Six Tribulation True Sage with just one strike?

That's just baseless rumors. Baseless rumors!

Shen Tian felt very excited at the thought that he was finally able to change the rumors circulating about him.

And in his excitement...

He exerted just a little more strength.

Yeap, just a little.

The 2nd Spirit Mountain's formation shattered!

Divine light shone through the array formation, and the 2nd Spirit Mountain was opened!

Silence descended over the entire area!

The prodigies couldn't resist swallowing hard.

"Br-broken?"

"He broke it with just seven strikes? And only using a supreme-grade Spirit artifact?"

"Why do I feel that the first six strikes were rather useless? It was the final hammer that made the difference?"

"I also feel that the final hammer was much more forceful than the first six!"

"Do you think that the final strike was the Divine Firmament Saint's true power?"

"Pffft... In that case, the Divine Firmament Saint's powers..."

Everyone was thunderstruck.

They knew Shen Tian had astonishing battle prowess. But they didn't expect it to be so mind-blowing.

It should be pointed out that Qi Shaoxuan had only managed to conquer the 4th Spirit Mountain after a total of 36 strikes.

Shen Tian managed to break the Second Spirit Mountain in just seven! He was in no way inferior to an early-stage sage!

And that final strike was clearly many times more powerful!

Pfffttt!

Incredible!

The crowd gasped.

And most importantly, Shen Tian's weapon was just the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer!

It was a supreme-grade Spirit artifact. Not even a low-grade Sage artifact.

Conquering a Second Spirit Mountain using just a supreme-grade spirit artifact?

If he used a supreme-grade Sage artifact, wouldn't he be able to conquer the 1st Spirit Mountain then?

In that case, it was entirely possible he could kill a True Sage with just one hammer strike!

The Divine Firmament Saint was indeed an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable!

Everyone was utterly convinced of Shen Tian's powers by his earlier performance.

Shen Tian started to have doubts about his whole existence again.

He gazed at the broken 2nd Spirit Mountain in a daze.

What happened? Weren't things going great earlier?

I only accidentally exerted a little more strength. Why did it break?

Oh my goodness!

Could this be a low-quality, fake Spirit Mountain?

I swear that I really didn't use much strength!

Shen Tian felt his scalp go numb when he realized that everyone was staring at him with adoring eyes.

Not only did he not manage to suppress those earlier rumors, but he also seemed to have boosted his own reputation further.

Damn!

So frustrating~

I really wanted to keep a low profile, but my abilities won't let me.

What should I do now?
