I Am Really Not The Son of Providence - Chapter 444
Chapter 444: Disgrace To The Sacred Battle Ape Race!
The Sacred Battle Thearch had planted this orchard before ascending.
There were numerous Spirit Fruits after being nourished by hundreds of thousands of formations, filling up the trees completely.
Given Shen Tian and Qi Zhan’s speed, they also spent quite a long time before completely emptying the whole orchard.
Besides the parent plant, there was not a single Spirit Fruit in the whole orchard.
Adhering to the principle that it would be a waste if they did not pick those Spirit Fruits, they had plucked all the Spirit Fruits completely.
After all, no one else would be able to enter besides them.
“Boss, how’s your harvest?”
Qi Zhan smiled brightly as he scratched his head.
This time, he really had his fill of tasting countless delicious Spirit Fruits!
However, Qi Zhan still loved the Mixed Sacred Golden Banana, and banana skins were all over the place!
Powerful energy surged throughout Qi Zhan’s whole body, refining and strengthening it. It caused the golden fur on the surface of his body to look even more mystical.
He was like he was cast with gold and looked awe-inspiring.
Although he had eaten quite a lot, Qi Zhan also harvested numerous Spirit Fruits.
If he ate them wisely, it would be enough for him to eat for many years!
Shen Tian smiled and said, “Not bad!”
He had also gained a bountiful harvest; just the superior-grade Sage Mixed Sacred Golden Banana alone… he had obtained almost 100 of it!
Meanwhile, he also had hundreds of the middle-grade and inferior-grade Mixed Sacred Golden Bananas in his interspatial ring.
Not to mention Spirit Fruits of other kinds.
It could be said that he had earned a fortune this time.
It was enough for him to even create pills for a long time with so many Sage herbs.
If those Sage herbs were to appear in the outside world, countless sacred grounds would go crazy over them.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that even Mighty Sages would not be able to resist and snatch them!
The number of those Sage herbs was just too immense!
Which sacred ground did not want to have hundreds of Sage herbs?
Such a thing was just unimaginable!
If this was not a Thearch’s resting place and had not been undisturbed for hundreds of thousands of years, it would be impossible for there to be so many Spirit Fruits!
However, those Spirit Fruits were not Shen Tian’s biggest gain.
Currently, Shen Tian stared straight above Qi Zhan’s head. He was looking at Qi Zhan’s providence halo, which was originally purple. It was even brighter now, and the purple light had turned even darker, becoming dark purple!
It was obvious that Qi Zhan’s providence had increased!
The Sacred Battle Abode was originally Qi Zhan’s fortuitous opportunity, so his providence would naturally increase greatly after obtaining his fortuitous opportunity.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian’s body also turned as light as a feather and was immersed in a familiar pleasure that he had not felt in a long time.
Shen Tian hurriedly took out a mirror and started admiring the providence halo on top of his head.
His originally golden yellow providence halo turned even brighter as golden light overflowed. It was obvious his providence halo was turning dark gold and was just slightly short of it.
Shen Tian was delighted!
Increased! It increased!
After so long, my providence finally increased!
I’ll finally be able to return to dark-gold color soon!
This trip is definitely worth it!
…
Seeing that Shen Tian suddenly took out his mirror, Qi Zhan scratched his head.
What is Boss doing? Could it be that he has to admire his looks after eating his fill? Hehe, let me try too!
Qi Zhan also took out a mirror and silently admired himself. He could not help but exclaim, “Eh, as expected of me—the handsome Monkey King of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, I’m still as good-looking!”
Shen Tian, “…”
This macaque knows how to show off quite shamelessly, huh?
How rare!
Seeing that Qi Zhan was immersed in his beauty, Shen Tian had no other choice but to say, “Old Qi, let’s continue taking a look around. There might be other fortuitous opportunities here!”
“Alright, Boss!”
Qi Zhan reacted and hurriedly put away his mirror.
This was the Thearch’s resting place, so there would naturally be far more fortuitous opportunities than only the orchard!
The two of them left the orchard and walked inside the Sacred Battle Abode.
…
They walked along a few paths and reached a cave shortly after. It was filled with lush plants and had an abundance of Spirit Qi. The cave seemed to be formed naturally and looked just like a mysterious paradise.
Spirit spring water dripped down from the top of the cave. The flowing water looked just like a bead curtain covering the door and seemed extremely strange.
Meanwhile, three words were carved on top of the cave—Water Curtain Cave.
It was shining in dazzling gold color and looked majestic, which astounded them!
Qi Zhan was thrilled as he exclaimed, “This is the Water Curtain Cave! It’s where the Sacred Battle Thearch has left his heritage!”
The places the Sacred Battle Thearch had liked the most were the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits and Water Curtain Cave!
Qi Zhan firmly believed that the Sacred Battle Thearch’s heritage would be inside.
He was extremely excited as he was the descendant of the Sacred Battle Thearch. He would want to find his ancestor’s heritage and bring it to new glories!
“Boss, let’s enter!”
The two of them entered the Water Curtain Cave and reached the inside quickly without hindrance.
That made Qi Zhan quite surprised.
“Even the orchard has a formation, but this place of heritage does not?
“Looks like my ancestor must be a gluttonous monkey!” muttered Qi Zhan as his mouth twitched.
When the two of them entered the Water Curtain Cave, they realized that there was more than meets the eye.
It was vast, like a world of its own. In other words, it was an independent Grotto-Heaven Small World.
Meanwhile, there was a huge stone statue in the center of the Small World!
That stone statue was 8,000 feet tall and carved into the shape of an ape holding a humongous stone staff.
That statue looked toward the sky in a proud and overbearing manner!
Even when just facing the stone statue, Shen Tian could still feel how domineering the Sacred Battle Thearch was.
That stone statue was like a peerless fighter that wanted to battle the heavens to dominate the world!
If one sensed carefully, they would be able to feel a matchless imposing battle intent that wished to overturn the world!
It was like the owner of this stone statue had stabbed a hole in the sky using the staff in its hands years ago.
Fear, astonishment, shock, and admiration—the two of them felt such inexplicable emotions!
Their bodies trembled vigorously.
“This is the… Sacred Battle Thearch’s statue?”
Upon sensing that battle intent, the Sacred Battle Ape bloodline within Qi Zhan started boiling as he roared toward the sky.
At that moment, the stone statue suddenly shone brightly with dazzling golden light, covering the whole place.
Resplendent golden light burst out from that stone statue and formed a majestic figure.
It was an ape with golden fur and looked extremely young, but he looked even more muscular than Qi Zhan and possessed an immense aura.
He wore golden battle armor and held a golden staff in his hands while his whole body was emitting endless battle intent.
Just by standing there, the surrounding air felt heavy. It was as if the space would collapse with just a simple movement of his!
When that figure appeared, the two of them showed utmost respect. They knew that person was the unparalleled Sacred Battle Thearch of 180,000 years ago.
Only he would possess such a demeanor!
…
That figure opened his mouth, and his voice was so awe-inspiring that it would intimidate others.
“I am the Sacred Battle Thearch!”
Once he spoke, the ground shook, and the space fluctuated, surging throughout the whole place!
“My abode has existed for 180,000 years, and my fated one has finally arrived.
“I never expected that there would be a fated one with my race’s bloodline!
“The Sacred Battle Ape is not extinct. I am relieved!” exclaimed the Sacred Battle Thearch as he was gratified.
Hundreds of thousands of years had already passed since the Sacred Battle Thearch had left behind the Sacred Battle Abode and ascended to the Celestial World, but no one had entered!
It was mainly because the conditions for entering this place were too harsh.
Who would have expected that he would encounter a Sacred Battle Ape descendant the first time the Sacred Battle Abode was opened!
The Sacred Battle Ape race was extremely powerful. A Sacred Battle Ape had appeared in the Antiquity Age and had become the top paragon, moving the stars and defeating all other paragons!
It was a pity that there were few members of the race as only those with an extremely high concentration of the bloodline could evolve to become a Sacred Battle Ape!
The Sacred Battle Thearch was the second Sacred Battle Ape since that mighty figure in the Antiquity Age, thus showing how few talented ones the race had.
However, this race’s strength was unparalleled as each and every Sacred Battle Ape had become an unprecedented peerless figure!
Qi Zhan was the third Sacred Battle Ape since the Sacred Battle Thearch.
In 180,000 years, only one Sacred Battle Ape had appeared, and he was even in the Sacred Battle Thearch’s tomb. Thus, the Sacred Battle Thearch was gratified because his cultivation technique was most compatible for those of the Sacred Battle Ape race to cultivate!
With Qi Zhan’s arrival, his heritage could be brought to a greater height!
Fate was truly the most intriguing concept!
…
Qi Zhan was also elated to see the Sacred Battle Thearch.
He was a legendary figure within the clan as he was the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race’s ancestor!
He hurriedly cupped his hands in respect and said in admiration, “Ancestor, my name is Qi Zhan. I am the young master of the Golden Eyed Fire Ape!
“This is my boss, Shen Tian!”
When facing the peerless Thearch of 180,000 years ago with the same bloodline, Qi Zhan felt extremely close to him.
However, he also did not forget to introduce Shen Tian for a good impression.
Qi Zhan also hoped that Shen Tian could receive the Thearch’s heritage since they had come together!
“Good, very good!”
The Sacred Battle Thearch smiled, but then he frowned.
“Since the both of you could enter this place, it means that the both of you have remarkable talents.
“I can teach you the Battle Imperial Sutra, but only to those of the Sacred Battle Ape bloodline!
“As for you, I can teach you another heritage technique. I won’t be able to give you the Battle Imperial Sutra.”
The Sacred Battle Apes were originally rebellious and dared to battle with the heavens. Their bloodline and battle techniques were all extremely precious, and other normal heritage would pale in comparison!
As a peerless Thearch, the Sacred Battle Thearch did not want the heritage to be in the hands of other races.
Qi Zhan looked agonized and said awkwardly, “Ancestor, I wouldn’t be even able to enter here without Boss Shen Tian. Could you also give the heritage to Boss?”
Qi Zhan was still faithful to Shen Tian and could not bear seeing Shen Tian return with empty hands.
The Sacred Battle Thearch shook his head. “The Battle Imperial Sutra is the Sacred Battle Apes’ heritage. It cannot be passed down to outsiders!”
Qi Zhan sighed.
Since the Sacred Battle Thearch refused, he could not force him to agree either.
Qi Zhan was apologetic. “Boss, I’m really sorry! When I get some Sage artifacts or herbs, I’ll compensate you!”
Shen Tian did not really care. He shook his head and said, “There’s no need. It’s only an imperial sutra, so there’s no need to insist.”
The imperial sutras in Shen Tian’s hands were not few, so there was not much difference in knowing one more or one less.
However, Shen Tian’s words stunned the Sacred Battle Thearch.
This kid… He seems to look down on my Battle Imperial Sutra?
“Just an Imperial Sutra?
“Kid, do you know what the Battle Imperial Sutra represents?”
“It’s the cultivation technique of my Dao and one of the top imperial sutras even amongst other imperial sutras!”
The Sacred Battle Thearch spoke with confidence, and his face was full of pride. He had unmatched strength and was one of the strongest Thearchs.
Therefore, the Battle Imperial Sutra that the Sacred Battle Thearch had created was stronger than many of the other Thearchs’ imperial sutras!
This was his confidence and also an undeniable fact.
However, this peerless imperial sutra seems to be nothing to that kid? There is someone that does not want such an invincible art?
I don’t believe it! That kid must be playing cat and mouse with me. He’s definitely acting to obtain my imperial sutra!
I’m too clever to be deceived!
…
The Sacred Battle Thearch stared at Shen Tian as he wanted to see the latter’s desire.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tian’s expression did not change at all. He was still calm and composed!
Kid, you’re quite good at acting!
Meanwhile, Qi Zhan nodded.
“Alright, Boss!
“I’ll give you other Sage herbs to compensate you.
“However, this Battle Imperial Sutra is indeed not much of use to you!”
Qi Zhan was very clear why Shen Tian did not care about the Battle Imperial Sutra.
When Shen Tian had battled against Great Sage Evil Fire, he had already used 10 Imperial Sutras.
It might not be Shen Tian’s limit.
Since he had mastered over 10 imperial sutras, and top ones at that, there was really no need to bother about the Battle Imperial Sutra.
There was no difference with one more or one less imperial sutra.
Hearing Qi Zhan call Shen Tian “Boss” repeatedly, the Sacred Battle Thearch’s mouth twitched.
His hair stood up as he snarled. “Little monkey, only rebellious Sacred Battle Apes could unleash the complete power of the Battle Imperial Sutra. Yet, what are you doing now?
“You actually recognized a human as your boss. You’re simply a disgrace to our race.”
Those of the Sacred Battle Ape bloodline were all indomitable peerless Demon Kings that dominated and overturned the world!
Even heaven and earth could not make them submit, not to mention a human!
Not only did Qi Zhan not have the domineering disposition to fight against heaven and earth, but he did not even have an unyielding pride. That made the Sacred Battle Thearch indignant.
How could such a descendant follow the Dao of battling the heavens!
Qi Zhan took a step back. He still feared his ancestor very much!
However, he thought, I also know that as a Sacred Battle Ape, I should be rebellious and have an unyielding pride.
You didn’t see just how fierce I was back then! I was not afraid of anything!
However, I had no other choice as Boss Shen Tian appeared!
So what if I am obstinate and unruly?
I just can’t defeat him! Even if I continued hanging in there, I would only be beaten up!
Ancestor, you haven’t seen how much of a monster Boss is!
He’s simply not human!
…
The Sacred Battle Thearch waved his hand and said, “Little monkey, enough!
“You’re just too weak!
“I’ll teach you the Battle Imperial Sutra properly and let you understand just how powerful the Sacred Battle Ape race is!
“The Sacred Battle Apes have always comprehended our Dao through battling. Even heaven and earth cannot make us submit!”
The Sacred Battle Thearch was prepared to thoroughly reform Qi Zhan. He could not allow Qi Zhan to disgrace the Sacred Battle Ape race!
He waved his hand and took out a golden banana. It was dazzling and shining brightly.
Once that banana appeared, dense vitality surged out like a tide.
Qi Zhan widened his eyes as he stared straight at that banana. He could not take his eyes off at all!
That banana was extremely tempting. It could improve his foundation and increase his strength greatly!
The Sacred Battle Thearch said as he glowed with pride, “This is the Immortal Banana Herb. It is a Thearch herb and extremely useful to Sacred Battle Apes!
“I’ll give it to you as long as you cultivate the Battle Imperial Sutra to a high level!”
He did that to motivate Qi Zhan.
One would only be motivated if there was a target!
With the Thearch herb as a reward, Qi Zhan would naturally try his best to cultivate!
Qi Zhan was delighted as he replied, “Thank you, ancestor! I’ll definitely try my best in cultivating!”
The temptation of the Thearch herb was simply irresistible. He could not refuse at all!
The Sacred Battle Thearch nodded in satisfaction.
A shred of regret could be seen in his eyes. “It’s a pity that I did not find the Immortal Peach Herb! It’s really my lifelong regret that I did not obtain it! The taste of a peach is much more delicious than a banana!”
Until now, the Sacred Battle Thearch was still thinking of eating the Immortal Peach Herb!
It was not only because the effects of the Immortal Peach Herb were more powerful than the Immortal Banana Herb. More importantly, it was because the Sacred Battle Thearch liked eating peaches more than bananas.
Qi Zhan nodded. He completely agreed with the Sacred Battle Thearch’s words!
There was no monkey that did not like eating peaches!
Even bananas would lose when being compared to peaches.
Shen Tian raised his brows and asked, “Senior Thearch, do you mean this?”
After that, Shen Tian took out a peach.
Heavenly aura surrounded the peach. That peach looked so juicy and fresh. It emitted a rich fragrance and dense life force.
“What!? It’s actually the Immortal Peach Herb!?”
The Sacred Battle Thearch’s pupils instantly enlarged as he stared straight at the Immortal Peach Herb without blinking. He could not help but gulp down his saliva.
Qi Zhan was also the same. He could not take his eyes off the peach as he coveted it.
Monkeys loved peaches the most!
Not to mention a peach that was on the level of a Thearch herb, no monkeys would be able to refuse.
The Sacred Battle Thearch’s expression instantly changed. He smiled and said, “Kid, are you willing to trade that Immortal Peach Herb with me?
“I could give you the Battle Imperial Sutra in exchange!”
The Immortal Peach Herb was so tempting that even a Thearch was visibly moved!
Qi Zhan was stunned. “Ancestor, didn’t you say that the Battle Imperial Sutra could not be taught to outsiders?”
The Sacred Battle Thearch glared at Qi Zhan as his face turned red. “Cough, cough… Well, isn’t he your Boss?
“Since he’s your Boss, he’s not counted as an outsider!
“I’m originally broad-minded, so I won’t be so inflexible!
“Kid, what do you think?”
The Sacred Battle Thearch looked at Shen Tian with eyes filled with hope.
It’s the Immortal Peach Herb, the Immortal Peach Herb!
I’ve searched for it for 10,000 years but still failed to obtain it!
Now that it’s right in front of my eyes, how could I miss this chance?
Therefore, he had thought of using the Battle Imperial Sutra to exchange for the Immortal Peach Herb.
Surprisingly, Shen Tian shook his head. “Senior Thearch, I have other uses for the Immortal Peach Herb. I need to refine it into a pill!”
The Sacred Battle Thearch was instantly enraged when he heard those words. “What? Refine it into a pill?
“Ridiculous, how ridiculous! You’re simply recklessly wasting such a precious herb!
“It’s blasphemy against the peaches to use the Immortal Peach Herb as a pill ingredient.”
From the Sacred Battle Thearch’s point of view, there was no pill more delicious than the peach!
Such a pretty peach, isn’t it better to just eat it fresh?
However, Shen Tian was resolute as he replied, “If I refine the Immortal Peach Herb into a pill, its value will be doubled!”
Huang Shi had bestowed that Immortal Peach Herb to refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
He would still have to give one of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills to Huang Shi!
Naturally, Shen Tian would not use it in exchange for an imperial sutra.
Also, from Shen Tian’s point of view, the imperial sutra’s value could not be compared to the Immortal Peach Herb at all!
The Sacred Battle Thearch scratched his head in anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.
If the current Sacred Battle Thearch was not just a remnant consciousness, he might even be unable to resist and snatch it from Shen Tian.
The Immortal Peach Herb’s temptation was just too irresistible. Even the Immortal Banana Herb in his hands seemed tasteless!
However, he could not really make a move on Shen Tian as he would not be able to eat the Immortal Peach Herb even if he obtained the Immortal Peach Herb!
He was just a remnant consciousness, so how could he eat the peach!?
He would not do something like that either, as he still had his dignity as a Thearch. He did not have the face to snatch from a junior.
Not to mention Shen Tian was also a junior that was on good terms with his descendant!
After the Sacred Battle Thearch pondered deeply, he still made a suggestion. “How about I use this Battle Imperial Sutra and Immortal Banana Herb to exchange for your Immortal Peach Herb?
“Both of them are Thearch herbs, one for one, and I’m also throwing in an imperial sutra. It’s definitely a good deal for you!” The Sacred Battle Thearch pretended to be upset. It was as if the trade was a huge loss for him!
However, Shen Tian still refused. “Senior Thearch, thank you for your kindness, but I really don’t really need those things.
“Also, if I remember correctly, the effects of the Immortal Banana Herb cannot be compared to the Immortal Peach Herb at all.”
Shen Tian glanced at the Sacred Battle Thearch as he murmured to himself.
This old monkey is really sly.
Did he really think that I don’t know anything because I’m young!
And he still wants to sweet-talk me into giving him the Immortal Peach Herb?
Dream on!
