Chapter 169: Righteous Spirit, Qi Shaoxuan
As the avatar of the Big Dipper could be seen, a man wearing silver battle armor appeared. His eyebrows were sharp like a sword, and he had star-like dazzling eyes. His whole body was surrounded by starlight.
The moment he appeared, the Big Dipper avatar shone even more radiantly, as if the god of stars had descended. He seemed to be of around the same age as Zhang Yunting and others, but his aura was mighty. It was vaguely even stronger than Bodhisattva Kuduo.
This man appeared at the White Lotus Mountain and bowed to the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader. “I am Chen Zhongtian from the Big Dipper Sacred Ground. I greet the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader!”
Although he was bowing, his presence still compelling, he did not restrain his aura at all. Evidently, his aim for coming to Divine Firmament was not as friendly as it seemed.
The Sacred Leader looked at Chen Zhongtian coldly. “Not bad, you’ve already reached the Nascent Soul stage.”
His words left all onlookers astonished, secretly becoming more vigilant.
The Big Dipper’s Saint, Chen Zhongtian, was originally ranked 4th in the Golden Core List. His talent was only below Qi Shaoxuan, Bodhisattva Kuduo, and Fang Chang.
However, Chen Zhongtian did not continue staying in the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage like the others. Instead, he resolutely decided to break through to the Nascent Soul stage with Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage as his foundation. Thus, Chen Zhongtian’s strength had increased by many times. He was no weaker than the three geniuses who previously overshadowed him.
Most likely, even if Bodhisattva Kuduo went all out, he might not be able to match up to Chen Zhongtian and might even be defeated badly.
Chen Zhongtian turned and glanced at Bodhisattva Kuduo. He smiled and said, “I did not expect for Senior Brother Kuduo to come here too.”
Bodhisattva Kuduo replied in an angry tone, “Why? Even you can come to muddy the waters, why can’t I?”
Chen Zhongtian chuckled. “I’m not here to cause trouble, don’t speak nonsense!”
As he spoke, the Big Dipper’s Saint took a small jade bottle out of his ring and gave it to the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader respectfully.
Chen Zhongtian introduced, “I heard that Senior Brother Fang Chang’s life is in danger from failing to break through to the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. It really hurts to hear that.
“This is the supreme treasure, Nirvana Holy Liquid, that Senior Brother Shaoxuan had entrusted me to bring to help heal Senior Brother Fang Chang.
“Such a precious treasure contains limitless vitality and can even heal Dao injuries. Maybe, it can be useful to Senior Brother Fang Chang.”
Once Chen Zhongtian finished, the sound of someone taking in a sharp breath resounded. It was the astounded Li Yunfeng.
Upon sensing the puzzled looks of the surrounding people, Li Yunfeng explained, “He’s really generous!”
Zhao Hao asked in curiosity, “Why? Senior Brother Yunfeng has heard of such a thing?”
Li Yunfeng nodded. “Naturally, I am the Divine Firmament Know-It-All! Do you know what the Nirvana Holy Liquid is? Do you know how precious it is?”
Seeing that everyone showed him the “please start your performance” expression, Li Yunfeng started to talk tirelessly and vividly.
“The Nirvana Holy Liquid is a supreme treasure that can only be formed if plant-type demons willingly sacrifice themselves and refine their own essence.
“Some powerful plant-type Demon Kings might choose to undergo Nirvana and enter deep sleep, awaiting their chance of resurrection.
“They would refine their huge body into the purest energy essence to be consumed during Nirvana.
“Normally, only plant-type demons at the peak of Soul Formation and above can undergo Nirvana.
“Also, the plant demon must choose to create the Nirvana Holy Liquid willingly for it to have satisfactory efficacy.
“If you were to force plant-type demons to undergo Nirvana, how would it be possible that they would be willing, right?
“That is to say, for the Nirvana Holy Liquid to be formed, three conditions must be satisfied.
“Firstly, finding a mighty plant-type demon with cultivation level at the peak of Soul Formation or above.
“Secondly, that demon must willingly undergo Nirvana and refine their body into the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
“Thirdly, in the short period where the Nirvana Holy Liquid is formed, one must find the Nirvana Holy Liquid and collect it.
“As long as one of the three conditions is not satisfied, then it will be impossible to obtain the Nirvana Holy Liquid. The conditions could be said to be harsh.”
Upon listening to Li Yunfeng’s description of the Nirvana Holy Liquid, Shen Tian had mixed feelings. He looked at the Sacred Leader and Chen Zhongtian standing at the side silently.
He saw that the Sacred Leader had opened the bottle containing the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
Instantly, the rich, fragrant scent of spirit herb spread throughout the room.
Shen Tian was extremely familiar with such a fragrance, but it also seemed a little different.
Shen Tian could vaguely see that there was liquid within the bottle the Sacred Leader was holding. However, that liquid was not silvery-white but pink, extremely illusory.
The Sacred Leader nodded slightly. “This Nirvana Holy Liquid should be created by a mighty demon at the peak of Soul Formation stage.
“If I’m not wrong, this should be the Holy Liquid created by a Peony Flower Demon undergoing Nirvana. It is quite rare.”
Chen Zhongtian stared at the Sacred Leader. “The Sacred Leader is amazing, indeed. I admire your broad range of knowledge.”
The Sacred Leader said, “This Nirvana Holy Liquid is very useful to Chang’er. I am grateful to the two Saints.”
Chen Zhongtian replied, “I am but just running an errand. I could never be in possession of such a supreme treasure. Truthfully speaking, this Nirvana Holy Liquid is actually Senior Brother Shaoxuan’s gift to Junior Sister Yunxi. Gentlemen desire a kind and beautiful woman. Shaoxuan Shaoxuan has always admired—”
Before Chen Zhongtian could finish, the Sacred Leader interrupted him. “What do you mean?”
The Sacred Leader looked at Chen Zhongtian coldly. “Why is Qi Shaoxuan not here to say this himself?”
Chen Zhongtian replied respectfully, “Sacred Leader, please calm down. Senior Brother Shaoxuan is preparing for the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage!
“He heard that Senior Brother Fang Chang had suffered from Qi Deviation from when trying to break through to the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. He’s worried that Junior Sister Yunxi might be worried due to it.”
“Thus, he immediately asked me to bring this Nirvana Holy Liquid and rush here to save Senior Brother Fang Chang.
“When Shaoxuan Shaoxuan succeeds in achieving the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage, he will definitely come to ask for her hand personally.”
Chen Zhongtian might sound polite and appropriate on the surface, but if one carefully analyzed, then it would not be hard for them to understand the hidden meaning.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was one of the oldest amongst all sacred grounds. Meanwhile, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground and Purple Mansion Sacred Ground were both relatively new sacred grounds.
The sacred grounds’ relationships were complicated. Naturally, some were close, and some were in conflict.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and Purple Mansion Sacred Ground were not on good terms, and they secretly competed against each other.
Currently, the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had a peerless genius, Qi Shaoxuan, who was said to be blessed by the heavens and had the Ancient Thearch’s talents.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Fang Chang, who was the strongest disciple, had suffered from Qi Deviation when trying to reach the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.
One was about to exceed the limits and reach the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage, while the other had failed when at the Ninth Refinement Stage. With the rise of one genius and fall of the other, the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to display their strength.
Thus, the so-called desire to marry Zhang Yunxi might really be what Qi Shaoxuan wanted, but more importantly, it was to purposely provoke the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!
The Sacred Leader held the Nirvana Holy Liquid coldly, and lightning shot out of his palm. The jade bottle was instantly destroyed, and the pink liquid the size of one’s palm floated in the sky.
The rich, fragrant scent could be smelled in the whole White Lotus Mountain, and countless people started desiring it.
The Sacred Leader said coldly, “Everyone says that Qi Shaoxuan is the Son of Providence, but I see this is all there is to him.
“He wants to marry my daughter with this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid? Have the both of you ‘Saints’ seen what a true fortuitous opportunity is?”
Chen Zhongtian explained, “Sacred Leader, you must be joking. This is the legendary Nirvana Holy Liquid! Just a drop can save one’s life, and a bottle of it is already a priceless treasure! Besides Qi Shaoxuan, who could be this generous and righteous? Who could just give such a priceless treasure?”
