Chapter 406: I Just Want To Gain A Fortuitous Opportunity.
Chapter 406: I Just Want To Gain A Fortuitous Opportunity.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader took a step forward as his body suffused with heavenly aura.
He said calmly, “Tian’er, your inauguration ceremony as a Saint is in a few days.
“This is a joyous occasion for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. All the major factions will come to congratulate us.
“Follow me back to the sacred ground to prepare for now. Do not go out anymore unless it’s necessary.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had a new Saint every 100 years.
After 90 years of duty as a Saint, the remaining ten years would be spent searching for the new successor.
Although Shen Tian was the candidate to become the next Saint, the inauguration ceremony had yet to be announced to the world, and he could only hence be considered a quasi Divine Firmament Saint for now.
But during this period, he had made a name for himself in the five regions, and his reputation had even surpassed the past generations of Saints.
He could be said to be the uncrowned king, and there were legends about him all over the five regions!
Now, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was about to hold his inauguration ceremony and was prepared to announce to the world that his identity was officially confirmed.
It was likely that many people would come to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground for the banquet.
Shen Tian’s eyes lit up.
The various factions will come to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to participate in my inauguration ceremony?
Doesn’t this mean that the top geniuses and the Children of Providence from the various powers will also be present?
If that’s the case, it will be really great!
I was just worried about not having new ‘sheep’... I mean new friends!
Although Qi Shaoxuan, Princess Linglong, Wang Shenxu, and the others were all rare people with great providence and the future protagonists of the era, no one would complain about having too many ‘sheep’.
After all, this was very nutritious!
Furthermore, I have always been a warm-hearted person who enjoys making friends.
I feel that I am fated to be friends with all these new ‘sheep’ I am about to meet. Wouldn’t it be a good idea for us to paint a picture together?
...
“Master, don’t worry! I’ll definitely prepare well for it!”
Thinking about how he would soon encounter more ‘sheep’, Shen Tian couldn’t help but smile.
Suddenly, the rosary bead in Shen Tian’s arms trembled slightly.
Jiu’er’s vigilant voice rang out. “Master, Jiu’er feels a strong aura of resentment from Princess Linglong...”
What?
What’s wrong with this woman?
Shen Tian turned around and saw Princess Linglong’s resentful face.
Brother Shen is going to return to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Doesn’t that mean I won’t be able to see Brother Shen for a long time?
No way! No matter where Big Brother Shen goes, I will also go!
Thinking of this, Princess Linglong tidied her clothes and slowly walked toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
“Linglong greets Uncle Longyuan.”
Princess Linglong took a few light steps and bowed slightly to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
“It’s only been a month since we last met, and Princess Linglong’s cultivation has improved again. You are truly talented.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded slightly as his body suffused heavenly aura.
He sensed that Princess Linglong’s aura was stronger than when she had been on Immortal Abode Island.
It had only been a month, yet she was already able to increase her cultivation to such an extent.
Obviously, she had also obtained a huge opportunity in the Lotus Thearch’s tomb.
Princess Linglong stole a glance at Shen Tian and smiled. “Uncle Longyuan is too kind. It’s all thanks to Brother Shen Tian’s help that my cultivation improved!”
“???”
Princess Linglong’s words shocked everyone!
What kind of help could increase a person’s cultivation in such a short period?
If one were to cultivate normally, it would be impossible to achieve Princess Linglong’s feat.
That was unless one used some sort of special cultivation method.
For example... Dual cultivation?
Tssss~
Could it be that Junior Brother...
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and the others had strange expressions on their faces.
Zhang Yunxi’s face darkened as she clenched her fists, and a cold glint could be seen in her eyes.
However, Princess Linglong didn’t care. “Uncle Longyuan, can Linglong head to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to attend Brother Shen Tian’s inauguration ceremony?”
Boom!
At that moment, a strange phenomenon occurred.
Zhang Yunxi’s aura erupted, and a White Tiger avatar suddenly appeared behind her. It howled into the heavens, shattering the void behind her.
“Your Highness is a person of high standing, so it’s not appropriate for you to stay outside for too long. You should return to Middle Ground!”
Zhang Yunxi’s tone was cold, and the hostility in her eyes intensified.
Does this little demon want to pester Junior Brother?
She must be coveting Junior Brother’s peerless looks!
Hmph!
This perverted fellow!
She is too much!
...
“The Saintess seems to have some misunderstandings about Linglong?”
When facing the overbearing Zhang Yunxi, Princess Linglong let out a light laugh, and a divine light erupted behind her.
The three Grotto-Heavens reflected each other and occupied different positions. They displayed the power of Heaven, Earth, and Man as they traversed the void.
Once they came out, Princess Linglong’s aura instantly expanded, carrying a heavy pressure that swept in all directions.
The hearts of the geniuses sank. They felt as though an ancient divine mountain was pressing down on them.
Everyone was shocked.
“What kind of help did Senior Brother give Princess Linglong for her to raise her strength by so much?”
Other than using certain special methods, it was likely impossible for her cultivation to soar.
Everyone was even more certain of their guesses.
Perhaps the Saint had already undergone his first dual cultivation session!
Although the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty’s Princess Linglong was barely worthy of a Son of Providence like the Saint, it was not easy for her to get past the barrier of the Saintess!
Looking at the cold Zhang Yunxi, everyone could not help but sigh.
The White Tiger avatar filled the sky as its surging aura swept through the surroundings and headed straight for the three large holes in the sky.
At once, the two peak female geniuses of the five regions were at loggerheads.
The atmosphere instantly became tense!
Seeing this, Shen Tian couldn’t help but shake his head. “Princess Linglong, Senior Sister, please give me some face.”
If he didn’t say anything now, the two girls would probably start fighting again.
Shen Tian explained, “The reason Princess Linglong’s cultivation rose so quickly was because of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.”
Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill?
Everyone was puzzled. Could they have guessed wrongly?
Just what kind of pill could have such miraculous effects, allowing one’s strength to soar by such a huge margin?
Shen Tian smiled and took out a white jade bottle. “The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill can increase one’s constitution and comprehension talent.”
After opening the stopper, Shen Tian took out five perfectly round green pills.
In that instant, a rich fragrance filled heaven and earth.
The laws of the world constantly pressured on the pills, forming phantom images of blue lotuses that emitted surging auras.
Just by smelling the fragrance of the pill, one could even feel that their cultivation was rising and that they had gained enlightenment regarding their Daos.
Everyone was shocked. They had never seen such a strange pill before.
It was like a supreme pill refined from the essence of the sun and moon.
“Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Senior Sister Yunxi, Junior Brother Zhao Hao, and Uncle Gui!
“I prepared for each of you a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. After you all take it, your natural constitution and cultivation will definitely rise to another level!”
Shen Tian handed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to everyone one by one without any reluctance in his eyes. After all, he had joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground for so long, so he treated it as his home.
These fellow disciples may be ‘sheep’ to Shen Tian, but they were also family.
That was especially so for Uncle Gui. To Shen Tian, he was no different from family.
Thus, Shen Tian was willing to give the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to Uncle Gui without any hesitation.
...
However, even though Shen Tian was willing to do so, the other geniuses felt extremely embarrassed.
“I can’t accept this precious treasure.”
“This is your opportunity, Your Highness. How can you give it to me?”
“This is such a supreme treasure. Senior Brother should save it to exchange for treasures of the same value in the future!”
“Even without the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, this Saintess won’t lose to this princess. If the princess surnamed Shi has the ability and balls to fight me again, bring it on!”
“Sister, don’t be rash. She is the princess of Middle Ground’s Royal Family. Peace is the most precious thing~”
Everyone couldn’t help but clench their fists tightly when they received the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill from Shen Tian, but they subconsciously declined.
Well, although they verbally said no, their bodies were very honest.
This wasn’t embarrassing for them because the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was just too extraordinary.
Even though everyone’s reservations made them want to decline, their physical bodies’ desire for this pill made them unable to let it go.
This made them realize just how precious and extraordinary this pill was.
Pills that could reconstruct one’s constitution and increase one’s talent were priceless.
If this was taken to the outside world, it could be exchanged for a large number of precious treasures.
However, Shen Tian was still willing to share it with everyone. This made them feel both grateful and impressed.
Our sect’s Saint indeed has the bearing of a young sovereign!
...
“Fellow Brothers and Sisters, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. I’ve already taken this pill, and everyone can only take it once.
“Even if I keep it, it’s going to be useless. I might as well give it to all of you to raise your strength.
“In the future, we can move unhindered through the five regions together and reign invincible.”
Shen Tian urged with a smile when he saw that everyone was embarrassed.
The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was useless to Shen Tian, but it was incomparably precious to the others.
Moreover, these people were all good friends of Shen Tian. If their strength increased, Shen Tian would be able to harvest ‘sheep’ better too!
“We will remember the kindness of the Saint!”
The four youths from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground looked at each other. The three men’s eyes revealed their inferiority and respect.
Zhang Yunxi held the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill tightly and glanced at Princess Linglong.
Did this little girl’s cultivation increase greatly because she ate this supreme pill?
Hmph!
After I fully absorb the effects of this pill as well, I must let this fellow know that my Junior Brother isn’t that easy to woo!
Eunuch Gui held the pill in his hands and said. “Your Highness had refined such a supreme pill? If Consort Lan was able to see this scene, she would definitely feel gratified.”
...
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and the others’ eyes were flushed, and they couldn’t wait to take the pill.
Shen Tian couldn’t help but remind them, “Everyone, let’s head to Penglai Island first.”
Could it be that they wanted to absorb the pill in mid-air?
Weren’t they afraid of falling into the sea halfway?
“Junior Brother is right!”
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and the others blushed and hurriedly flew toward Penglai Island.
Soon, they arrived at Penglai Island and consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
For a moment, the five of them fell into silence.
Dazzling green light continuously flashed within their bodies. Laws rampaged about inside their bodies, changing their physiques.
Shen Tian smiled when he saw such a scene.
After everyone received their Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, their providence also greatly increased.
Although the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was a derivative of Princess Linglong’s fortuitous encounter and wasn’t as beneficial as if it was their own fortuitous encounter, it couldn’t hide the fact that the effects of this pill were just too awesome!
After everyone absorbed Shen Tian’s pill, the color of the halo above their heads instantly became much brighter.
Joy appeared on Shen Tian’s face as he looked at the various colored light rings above everyone’s heads.
His ‘sheep’ were growing stronger and stronger. Was there still a need to worry that their providence would not improve in the future?
...
At this time, a great vortex appeared on the calm sea surface, as if a great terror was occurring.
Waves surged from the deep sea to the surface!
Boom!
The sound was earth-shattering!
A pillar of water shot up 30km into the sky as a figure fell down!
“I’ve really seen a ghost!”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus let out a miserable cry and smashed a huge pit into the ground of Penglai Island!
“Martial Uncle, what happened?”
Shen Tian was puzzled. Didn’t Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus go to search for the Lotus Thearch’s tomb? Why did it feel like someone had kicked him out?
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus crawled out of the pit, looking rather disheveled. His violet robe was in tatters, and his body was charred black. There was even a faint fragrance of cooked flesh coming from him...
“Senior Brother, have you found the Lotus Thearch’s tomb?”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s indifferent voice sounded as the heavenly aura around his body gently rippled.
“Cough cough. Of course I found the tomb! That Lotus Thearch was so good to me that he even sent me out personally.”
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus pretended to be calm, but the corners of his lips were twitching violently.
He had indeed found the location of the tomb, but he was unable to enter.
Countless array formations were set up outside the tomb, completely sealing everything inside.
However, given Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’s temper, how could he leave so easily knowing that the treasure was right in front of him?
Furthermore, this was the Lotus Thearch’s tomb.
The Lotus Thearch was known for his benevolence and good temper. He probably wouldn’t have set up a killing formation in front of his tomb.
Besides!
If even that brat Shen Tian could enter, why couldn’t he?
With that thought in mind, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had picked up his golden staff and rushed into the formation, hoping to open up a path.
However, only after entering the formation did Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus discover that this was indeed not a killing formation.
Nonetheless, when it came to beating people up, it was even more ruthless than a killing formation.
These array formations seemed to be controlled by someone as they constantly gathered their power to attack Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
Endless divine flames surged from the formation, burning him.
Even though Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had an extremely high cultivation base, he still couldn’t withstand this power. He was burned to the point where he had to run away in a sorry state.
However, these formations seemed like they were venting their anger.
They directly pressed Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus into the sea and gave him a beating, to the point it made him have doubts about his life.
...
Didn’t I just want to go to the Lotus Thearch’s Tomb to train and gain some fortuitous opportunities?
It was fine if I didn’t get the opportunity, but why was the Lotus Thearch so violent?
Not only did he not talk about martial virtue, but he even hit this old Daoist priest!
All that’s left in my heart is bitterness!
