I Am Really Not The Son of Providence - Chapter 328
Chapter 328: Appearance Of the Golden Crow Thearch’s Tomb!
Eastern Wilderness, on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saint Mountain…
Zhang Yunxi stood at the peak of the mountain proudly as she looked toward the north.
A bright Golden Core was hovering over her head. She had already reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.
As one of the first people to obtain the Mixed Divine Lightning Origin, Zhang Yunxi already had the advantage.
The huge pressure from Shen Tian made Zhang Yunxi’s desire to improve her strength unprecedentedly strong.
As for why would Shen Tian give her such huge pressure?
It was obvious just from looking at the women around him. Τhere were simply too many of them coveting Shen Tian, εspecially a certain 10,000-year-old Dragon Lady. Ηer talent, strength, and appearance were just too extraordinary!
It was difficult for Zhang Yunxi not to feel pressured when standing in front of Ao Bing.
In those few months that Shen Tian was in North Sea, Zhang Yunxi had been cultivating diligently.
Finally, she reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage and became one of Eastern Wilderness’ top prodigies.
At present, when using the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra and Mixed Divine Lightning, Zhang Yunxi’s true battle strength could almost be compared to that of Golden Core Tenth Refinement cultivators.
She could easily be ranked third in the Golden Core List!
She could only be ranked third because this generation’s prodigies were very talented. Had it been 10 years ago, Zhang Yunxi could easily be ranked first in the Golden Core List.
Given Zhang Yunxi’s present strength, it was not exaggerating to call her the strongest talented Saintess in Eastern Wilderness!
“Two months after Junior Brother left, I reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.
“Three months after Junior Brother left, Senior Brother Fang Chang successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage, joining the Supremacy ranks.
“Five months after Junior Brother left, my brother also successfully reached the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage and achieved the Yang Divine Lightning Constitution.
“Meanwhile, the whole Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s disciples have become stronger with the Yin Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman’s help. The benefits they obtain from their experiential journeys have also significantly increased.
“Junior Brother, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is currently as you envisioned it back when you joined. You wished for everyone in the sacred ground to be lions!
“The sacred ground is well and safe, but you’re undergoing the trial in North Sea. How are you now?
“Did old Dragon Lady Ao Bing’s kin make things difficult for you?”
…
The Divine Firmament Saintess was famous for being a cold beauty. Even wishing for another look from her was like high hopes for normal prodigies.
Meanwhile, she was currently thinking about a man, and her eyes even betrayed a tinge of bitterness.
Below the cliff were the Favored Ones’ core members—they had been specially permitted to move to the Saint Mountain to cultivate.
Well, it’s better to rear the sheep nearby.
Everyone looked at the young lady’s back as she stood on the peak of the cliff alone. They started sighing in an instant.
They naturally knew why the Saintess would sit on Saint Mountain and cultivate. She was simply waiting for Shen Tian to return.
Meanwhile, it was not only her who was missing the Saint.
The red long-robed Eunuch Gui’s cultivation level had improved dramatically as compared to when he had just entered the sacred ground.
After refining and strengthening his body with spirit herbs like Dragon Blood Grass and Nirvana Holy Liquid, Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao had both reached the Golden Core stage with the help of the remarkable Demon Book of Hyuga.
Even amongst the Golden Core cultivators, their cultivation level was definitely not counted as weak. They were one of the best in terms of aggressive attacks.
Such strength was something Eunuch Gui would not even dare to imagine back in the Country of Fire.
“His Highness has been in North Sea for six months. The Saintess has also cultivated for six months on Saint Mountain’s highest peak. She really has deep feelings and affection for His Highness.”
Eunuch Gui murmured as he looked at Zhang Yunxi, “If Her Majesty knew that such a lady is infatuated with His Highness, she would be happy and be able to rest in peace.”
Qin Gao nodded his head slowly. “Uncle Gui is right!”
Zhao Hao was surrounded by red lightning and carried a longsword behind him. He had been cultivating the Qian Yang Sword Sutra, so his cultivation level had improved greatly. He had also reached the Golden Core stage.
Currently, the blazing Nan Ming Li Fire surrounded him as it was slightly difficult for him to control his strength that had soared suddenly.
He was no weaker than Eunuch Gui or Qin Gao at all when using his exceptional fire. It could be said that he even has a stronger foundation as compared to them.
It might even be possible for him to merge the Qian Yang Sword Sutra and Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique to create his own cultivation path.
By then, it would not be impossible for him to become another dark horse prodigy of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and enter the top 10 of Eastern Wilderness’ Golden Core List.
Some Divine Firmament elders would say jokingly that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s five prodigies had been gathered.
Azure Dragon Zhang Yunting, White Tiger Zhang Yunxi, Qilin Fang Chang, Crimson Phoenix Zhao Hao…
As for the Black Tortoise…
It had already been decided that it was Shen Tian. After all, he had acquired the First Essence Heavy Water before the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Also, when Shen Tian cultivated the Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning, it was as if it was made for him. The cultivation process could not be smoother.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had taken a liking to Shen Tian and had given him two protective items, the Black Tortoise Armor and Black Tortoise Helmet.
However, they had never expected that Shen Tian’s BUG-like luck would actually allow him to directly gather all five extraordinary items in just a few months.
What was even more astonishing was that Shen Tian could actually merge the five extraordinary items as one even though he was just a Golden Core cultivator.
It was such a crazy move that even if a Sage had tried, they would definitely explode and die.
However, Shen Tian had succeeded just like that.
Thus, a simple Black Tortoise title was not worthy of the Divine Firmament Saint at all.
His ability to survive was not something a Black Tortoise could be compared to.
…
The ground was trembling slightly as a humongous iron puppet gradually walked closer. Its whole body was made of Spirit Iron Ore, so it was extremely costly. Its cost surpassed that of plenty of Spirit artifacts.
The iron puppet was carrying a long hollow iron pillar with all kinds of mysterious patterns and pictures carved on it.
Meanwhile, on the iron puppet’s waist were numerous silver head-sized iron balls. They shone coldly under the light.
Rumble!
The iron puppet’s head slowly opened and revealed a handsome face. He had golden hair, which shone brightly under sunlight and further enhanced his gorgeous features.
This was a peculiar handsome man. The only thing strange about him was that he lacked masculine features. He was even slightly charming.
There was a stark contrast between his thin, delicate body and the huge hard, iron battle armor.
In me, the tiger sniffs the rose.
“Senior Brother Shen has not returned yet?”
Qin Yundi narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, “I’ve gone all out in researching the Thousand Weapons Palace’s heritage. I combined it with the advanced research of the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Law and finally created the so-called ‘mecha’ that Senior Brother has mentioned.
“Mother has carved numerous array formations such as ‘Examine’, ‘Defense’, ‘Fly’, ‘Tracking’ and so on. She has also attached the most powerful Mixed Lightning cannon.
“Although these mechas are lacking compared to the Thousand Weapons Palace’s strongest puppets, I can feel that they have extremely high potential.
“If I could get some advice from Senior Brother Shen, I could finish this ‘mecha’ as soon as possible!
“Sigh… Senior Brother Shen has not been around for six months. I miss him!”
…
That’s right, he missed Shen Tian!
In the few months that Shen Tian had been in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he had never stopped providing and obtaining huge benefits for the sacred ground.
Be it the Lightning Explosion Talisman, God of War Pagoda, Divine Binding Vines, or Dragon Blood Grass, all of them allowed the Divine Firmament core disciples’ competitiveness to increase.
In addition, the Wind Turbine and Hydroelectric Generator that Shen Tian had taught Qin Yundi before leaving could actually create lightning continuously by harnessing the power of wind and water.
As more and more generators were created, Divine Firmament’s demand for Spirit Stones to cultivate decreased greatly.
Thus, now that cultivating was more energy-conserving, it meant that more Spirit Stones could be saved to do other things, such as going to massage parlo—
No! Erm… Such as buying crafting materials, resources to create pills, research array formations, and so on.
Anyway, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had not been this prosperous in the past 10,000 years. It was growing stronger every day.
Meanwhile, the new Saint was the harbinger of the changes.
When Shen Tian had been around in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, nobody could feel anything special.
However, now that Shen Tian was undergoing the trial in North Sea, everyone started missing him, especially those from the Favored Ones. They were waiting for his return with great anxiety.
Is Master Heavens eating properly in North Sea? Is Master Heavens dressing warmly enough? Has Master Heavens gotten accustomed to the weather there?
Those North Sea demons are ignorant when it comes to proper etiquette. Will they offend Master Celestial? Can they properly flatter Master Celestial?
According to rumors, Senior Brother Yunfeng has vetted North Sea’s White Prince. Will he surpass us in terms of flattery techniques?
What if Master Heavens enjoys being flattered in North Sea so much that he will be unwilling to return?
What if the Black Dragons force Master Heavens to stay and be their son-in-law, preventing him from returning?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground can’t do without His Highness!
…
If others’ worries could be materialized, then Shen Tian would have already been woven into a woolen ball.
It was a pity that such worries were shapeless. Thus, no matter how much the Divine Firmament disciples missed Shen Tian. They could only await Shen Tian’s return silently.
“Breaking news, breaking news! Shocking news!”
A person suddenly appeared below Saint Mountain. That person used Sword Kinesis Flight to fly toward Saint Mountain’s highest peak directly.
That person was the Divine Firmament Know-It-All, Li Yunfeng. He was filled with excitement. “There’s breaking news from North Sea!”
North Sea?
All the Favored Ones core members stood up. “Is it news about Master Heavens/Senior Brother Shen/His Highness?”
Li Yunfeng drank a mouthful of water and was planning to leave them in suspense.
Suddenly, he felt a shiver down his back. He turned to see a slender figure gradually land from Saint Mountain’s peak.
Zhang Yunxi stared at Li Yunfeng. “Junior Brother, what news?”
Li Yunfeng shuddered before hurriedly speaking as fast as he could. “I heard from a friend in North Sea that the Immortal Abode Island that had sunk tens of thousands of years ago appeared once again.
“Blazing flames burned the sky, divine birds sang, and the sound of Dao resounded. It’s believed that the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb from 80,000 years ago has appeared!”
Zhang Yunxi’s eyes turned solemn. “The Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb?”
Li Yunfeng nodded. “The appearance of the Thearch’s tomb is no trivial matter. The whole five regions will be affected.
“Normally, such a Thearch’s tomb will contain huge fortuitous opportunities. Besides the core area that is dangerous and unpredictable, there should be numerous heritages and treasures in the outer area.
“Sometimes, one’s cultivation level does not represent everything. The most important thing is one’s providence and fate for encountering opportunities. A person blessed by providence might even obtain the Thearch’s true heritage.
“If no mishaps happen, the Sacred Leader should send a message soon and bring us to head to North Sea.”
…
As Li Yunfeng kept explaining, Zhang Yunxi’s eyes turned brighter and brighter.
Chaotic Star Island was North Sea’s core forbidden area, so she did not have the qualifications to enter even if it was her.
However, the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb on Immortal Abode Island was different. It was a mystic realm that could shake the whole five regions.
No matter how domineering the North Sea demons were, they couldn’t monopolize the island for themselves. They would at least need to explore it together with a few sacred grounds.
Meanwhile, Divine Firmament was currently “in good terms” with North Sea’s Black Dragon Island, so it was naturally within the invitation list. Thus, Black Dragon Island would definitely ask the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to join hands.
By then, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader would definitely bring Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, and others along. Their providence was high, after all.
As for Shen Tian, it would be highly likely for the Black Dragons to bring him too.
The Chaotic Star Island domain was opened for half a year now. In other words, most of the islands in the outer area must have already been plundered.
As for the islands in the deeper region, no one knew how long a cultivator would need to chance upon such an island, nor how long they would need to wait to be able to enter.
Even if one really entered, it could be a barren island that only had normal spirit herbs and no fortuitous opportunities.
In comparison, the fortuitous opportunities and treasures in the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb were naturally more tempting.
Also, given Shen Tian’s providence, he would definitely be able to monopolize most of the fortuitous opportunities if he headed toward the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb.
If his providence went through the roof, the imperial weapon buried with the Golden Crow Thearch might recognize him, adding another peerless imperial weapon to the sacred ground’s arsenal.
More importantly, if Shen Tian also headed toward Immortal Abode Island to explore, then…
They would be able to meet Shen Tian earlier!
At that thought, Zhang Yunxi’s eyes turned passionate.
The longsword behind her was unsheathed, and the silvery-white lightning shone brightly like a silver dragon.
Zhang Yunxi used Sword Kinesis Flight and pierced through the sky, flying at full speed toward Sacred Leader Mountain.
On the other hand, on Dragon God Island…
Shen Tian was still battling with the silver leaves that the Tree of Enlightenment had shot out.
Those silver leaves were extraordinary as each of them represented a cultivation Dao.
Battling with them was the same as fighting with ancient times’ peerless prodigies—one would put their Dao on the test against the opponent’s Dao.
Golden Bell, Peerless Immortal Sword, Black Demon Axe, Blood-Stained Bronze Cauldron, Cracked Greenish-Gold Pagoda…
Each attack contained endless profundity, which showcased the peerless arts that dominated ancient times. Qi Shaoxuan and the others could not help but be amazed.
Frankly speaking, the attacks formed by those leaves were definitely extraordinary.
Even the nomological enlightenment many Heavenly Venerables or Sages had received might not be as profound as those branded on the leaves.
It was a pity that it could only unleash Golden Body battle prowess when facing Shen Tian. It was unknown if some law restricted it.
Although the attacks were mysterious and profound, they were all useless before Shen Tian’s “absolute strength”.
Shen Tian was clad in the golden Divine Firmament’s Five Lightning Armor, and the Divine Binding Vines in his hands were like two invincible whips as he flapped the divine wings behind him.
Whenever he flew in the silver leaf storm and lashed with his whip, a silver enlightenment leaf would definitely fall to the ground.
One down!
Two!
Three!
…
10!
20!
30!
…
Shortly after, Shen Tian had already whipped through all those silver leaves that filled up the sky.
There were leaves with all kinds of divine emblems, 80-100 of them with just a rough estimation.
This was definitely a formidable fortune. If others learned of this, their jaws would drop from astonishment.
In fact, the Tree of Enlightenment was already dumbstruck, and its speed of going underground became faster.
Swoosh!
Those silver leaves had bought enough time for the Tree of Enlightenment.
When Shen Tian finished collecting all of the leaves, the Tree of Enlightenment had already completely sunk within the glacier.
Shen Tian sighed upon looking at the empty glacier. “I still did not make it in time?”
Shen Tian had a compelling desire for the leaf at the peak of the Tree of Enlightenment.
He was reluctant to let it escape!
…
Suddenly, as if having thought of something, Shen Tian smiled widely.
He nearly forgot that he could burrow underground too!
Tree of Enlightenment, here I come!
