I Am Really Not The Son of Providence - Chapter 122
Chapter 122: Junior Brother, You Seemed Like a Rabbit!
As Zhang Yunxi took Fang Chang and Li Yunfeng away, the Sacred Leader also disappeared from the skies.
The forgotten old Taoist priest had a funny expression on his face as he followed behind the Sacred Leader’s trails. He had originally come here to spot a good scene—yet what he witnessed here truly rendered him speechless.
As for the rest of the true disciples who had gathered below the Saint Mountain, they wanted to go into the Saint Mountain and pay their overdue greetings to the Saint.
Yet the cautious Shen Tian had immediately reactivated the Saint Mountain’s protective array once the Sacred Leader left. It seemed like he was determined to stay out of the worldly affairs and concentrate on his cultivation.
As such, much as though those true disciples were reluctant, they could only depart from the mountain. This was especially so for the female true disciples, who would keep looking back every few steps in the hope of spotting a chance to enter the Saint Mountain.
After sending off everyone, Shen Tian sat down on the Enlightenment Stone again while mindlessly plucking a flower off from the grasses.
He started picking the flower’s petals off one by one while mumbling to himself, “Invite for experiential journey, don’t invite for experiential journey, invite for…”
Seeing Shen Tian’s behavior, Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao exchanged looks and turned away again, each deep in their own thoughts.
Invite for experiential journey? Can it be that His Highness is going to invite the Saintess to come along with him for an experiential journey?
Eunuch Gui felt tears of joy welling up in his eyes.
Is His Highness finally ready to find a Dao companion?
With His Highness’s charm, if he is willing to go for more such journeys with the Saintess, the lady will definitely fall for him.
And in time to come, should both of them give birth to several plump kids and bring them to visit Concubine Lan at her grave, Her Majesty will finally be able to rest in peace!
At that thought, Eunuch Gui couldn’t contain his excitement and urged, “Your Highness, are you thinking of inviting the Saintess to come along with you for your experiential journey?”
Huh, why would I want to invite the Saintess?
I have already enjoyed my fill of her fortuitous opportunity. She doesn’t even have another one any time soon!
Shen Tian now only had eyes for Fang Chang—he was determined to share in his fortuitous opportunity!
…
Come to think of it, the disciples at the sacred ground seemed to have greater providence than those people at the Country of Fire.
Back at the Country of Fire, most people wore white haloes, and it would be quite rare to find someone with a little green color on their halos.
Yet at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, green halos were like the disciples’ statutory accessories—they wore lush green halos, bright green halos, dark green halos… It was very pleasant to look at and made the whole place full of life.
Meanwhile, all the true disciples would even develop green halos that were emitting pale red sheens or green haloes that were flecked with red spots.
However, even if their providence halos seemed good, it did not mean these people would meet with fortuitous opportunity in any near time. That was a pity, but Shen Tian understood that all good things took time.
Since his arrival, Shen Tian could only see the predicted images of fortuitous opportunities for two true disciples.
One was the fortuitous opportunity Qin Yundi had with the electrolysis theory, and the next would be Fang Chang’s fortuitous opportunity.
Since Shen Tian now had to remain as the Saint, he was desperate to share in others’ fortuitous opportunities so as to improve in his own providence.
As such, he was determined to share in Fang Chang’s fortuitous opportunity!
With that thought, the look in Shen Tian’s eyes grew steadfast.
If I am unable to invite him to come along for the experiential journey, then… I shall get his fortuitous opportunity and share with him afterward!
This was like how back at the Country of Fire’s royal palace, Shen Tian had first gotten hold of the Demon Book of Hyuga and then bestowed it upon Qin Gao.
In the end, the providence of Qin Gao, Shen Tian, and even Eunuch Gui had become greater!
Since it was possible to manipulate Qin Gao’s fortuitous opportunity, the same should occur for Fang Chang.
Yep, that’s it. I will first snatch his stuff, then return it to him!
Shen Tian finally reached a decision.
But of course, even though he had made up his mind, Shen Tian wasn’t going to be impulsive while acting on his plan.
After all, this was a fortuitous opportunity which he was planning to ‘hijack’ from one of the golden-haloed bigwigs.
Just think back to all of those super fortuitous opportunities that he had come by—which of them were easy to get?
The Demon Book of Hyuga? If not with the help of the green-haloed Eunuch Gui, he wouldn’t even be able to come across it.
The Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash? If Li Changge had not come to his sister’s rescue, he might already have been butchered by Negar.
As for the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant, if Shen Tian had kept it for himself and not passed it to Zhang Yunxi, he would not have been able to walk out of the Myriad Spirit Garden alive.
As the saying went, “A man’s wealth is his own ruin by causing others’ greed.”
This was especially true in the cruel cultivation world. If one did not have enough providence, they would be robbed of their rightful fortuitous opportunities.
Hmm, what should I do exactly to make sure that I get Fang Chang’s fortuitous opportunity and then bring it back safely for him?
Shen Tian thought for a good while before an idea struck him—since he did not have enough providence, why not share some from others?
After looking at Eunuch Gui who carried a green-with-red halo, Qin Gao who carried a red-with-gold halo, and finally Qin Yundi who now carried a halo which was almost two-thirds in gold due to the successful discovery of the electrolysis theory… Shen Tian felt somewhat more confident and comforted.
I supposed the chances of me getting Fang Chang’s fortuitous opportunity should be heightened if I bring them along?
If they are not enough, I may need to get Senior Sister Yunxi to come along too. After all, her providence was much greater than Fang Chang. I don’t believe that even she is unable to subdue his fortuitous opportunity!
Yeap, that’s it! I will bring these people of great providence to come with me for an experiential journey!
Shen Tian immediately jumped up from the Enlightenment Stone. He had a passionate look in his eyes as he asked Qin Yundi, “Junior Brother Yundi, would you like to live (leave) with me?”
What!?
Qin Yundi’s pretty face reddened as he stuttered, “Uh… Senior Brother, what do you mean?”
At the same time, Qin Gao froze as he heard Shen Tian’s question.
Is His Highness unable to contain himself anymore?
Just now, His Highness had also looked briefly at me. The way he looked was so similar to how he looked at me when we first met!
Can it really be that my conjectures are… correct? His Highness did not accept the favor from all those fairy-like ladies because he is…
Oh dear, I cannot, I really cannot do it!
Just when Qin Gao could barely finish the scene in his head, Shen Tian spoke and interrupted his fantasies—
He looked at Qin Yundi and nodded. “As you know, Senior Brother here had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage from this half a month’s worth of hard work at cultivating.
“As the saying goes, ‘After a prolonged period of quiet activity, one thinks of getting active physically.’ I want to leave the sacred ground and go for an experiential journey. Is Junior Brother willing to come with me?”
Shen Tian’s reply made Qin Yundi heave a sigh of relief. As he relaxed, his eyes, which were widened due to shock, also went back to their original sizes.
Phew, so Senior Brother was only trying to invite me to ‘leave’ with him for an experiential journey?
To be honest, if it were other peers who came and asked the same of Qin Yundi, he would straightaway reject them.
The reason was simple—he did not like to go out for adventures.
What Qin Yundi liked to do was to research and improve the Lightning Explosion Talisman, the Demon-Penetrating Gun, the Lightning Explosion Talisman Array, etc., within the comforts of his home.
But since Senior Brother asked me to go on an experiential journey with him, will he teach me more theories along the way?
Qin Yundi always felt that there was more room for exploration when it came to the Lightning Explosion Talisman and the Demon-Penetrating Gun. He would dearly love to tune them to perfection upon guidance from Senior Brother.
At that thought, he nodded determinedly. “If Senior Brother truly wants me to go with you, then it is my pleasure!”
Shen Tian turned to Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao then.
“Uncle Gui, Gao, how about both of you? Come along with us!”
When he saw both of them nodding their heads, Qin Yundi pondered for a while and spoke. “Hmm, if so many of us are going on the journey…
“Senior Brother Saint, please wait here for me. I need to get some important equipment from the Golden Lotus Mountain to prepare for this trip. I will be right back!”
With that, Qin Yundi flew straight for the Golden Lotus Mountain on his sword.
After about one hour, he returned to the Saint Mountain again.
Shen Tian opened the protective array and allowed Qin Yundi’s entrance, but he was rather surprised to see the bright smile on the latter’s face.
Meanwhile, Qin Yundi held onto a golden lotus-shaped ring, which was now spurting out all sorts of stuff.
Bling~ Bling~ Bling~
Golden talismans—i.e., the improved version of the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman—were stacked onto the ground. Each stack of talismans was almost half a grown man’s height, and there were over ten stacks of such talismans in front of them.
Meanwhile, white-colored spirit steel balls, which contained the Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning, were packed into crates and transported here too. There were now dozens of such crates before them.
Shen Tian swallowed involuntarily and looked at the satisfied expression on Qin Yundi’s face.
Am I hallucinating? Or else, why does Junior Brother look so much like a rabbit now?
