I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 166: Father, Senior Brother Cannot Make It

Shen Tian was thinking of what excuse to use to reject Zhao Hao when someone appeared. He looked at Zhao Hao and said, “Nine-Yang Battle Constitution?”

The Sacred Leader was well-read in all kinds of ancient books and was very knowledgeable. He had read about the Nine-Yang Battle Constitution in one of the ancient books. It was said to have the same principle as the Huge Sun Saint Constitution. It was just one of its variations.

Although it was not as powerful as the Huge Sun Saint Constitution, it was strong enough to overpower most of the world’s spirit constitutions. Even Fang Chang’s Fire and Earth Dual Lightning Spirit Constitution was no match to it!

If the sacred ground could recruit him, his presence would be invaluable. He could eventually become one of the sacred ground’s strongest protectors!

Thus, the Sacred Leader asked slowly, “Tian’er, who is this?”

Shen Tian had no choice but to explain, “This is Zhao Hao. I met him in Fog City the other day.”

Zhao Hao added, “I wish to have a chance to repay Brother Shen’s kindness!”

Shen Tian’s luck stunned the Sacred Leader. Not only had he managed to obtain a Spirit Stone Vein and two precious items, but he had also unearthed a genius follower with the Nine-Yang Battle Constitution!

According to Zhao Hao, Shen Tian had given him a few instructions, and he recovered his cultivation miraculously!

It was like Shen Tian was the Son of the Heavenly Dao itself!

Tian’er must be a blessing to our sacred ground!

The Sacred Leader replied, “Sure! Zhao Hao, you are fated with the sacred ground. You can join us. Are you willing to be my disciple, becoming my fifth true disciple?”

The Sacred Leader’s proposal astonished Zhao Hao. He hesitated for a moment. In the cultivation world, a master was like a father to cultivators. He could not have another master without the previous one’s permission.

Zhao Hao was Sword Venerable Qian Yang’s disciple, so he found it morally wrong to acknowledge a new master now.

But it’s such a good opportunity…

Then, a weak voice sounded in Zhao Hao’s mind. “Accept the offer.”

It was Sword Venerable Qian Yang.

The Sacred Leader observed Zhao Hao before he calmly transmitted to the Sword Venerable, “Friend, there’s barely anything left of your soul. If you want, you can use the Soul Palace in the sacred ground to regain your power. When you are ready, you can become a ghost cultivator or find another suitable body.”

The two of them communicated through their spiritual power and came to some kind of agreement. Finally, they had a deal.

Zhao Hao was sold… Cough, cough, sent to the sacred ground by his master. The Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader would be his new master, and he would cultivate lightning arts.

Zhao Hao was looking forward to being in the same sect as Shen Tian. He finally had the chance to repay Shen Tian for what he had done.

Zhao Hao was excited and showed off in front of Xue Wuxia.

Hahaha, the tide is turned, and I’ve finally beaten you! Now, I’m in the same sect as Master Celestial, and he is my Senior Brother! What about you?

Indeed, Xue Wuxia was very jealous of him. Nonetheless, she was not the only one. Azure Lotus’ green monster became uglier too. His jealousy sprang from the fact that the Sacred Leader had accepted yet another genius as his disciple.

I’m starting to think that I’m a fake elder in Divine Firmament…

How I wish I could have so many disciples with a bright future!

When he is old and fails his Tribulation Transcendence, they will be there to take care of him. Unlike me, I have nothing! There’s no other way than Immortal Ascension!

Zhao Hao bowed to the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader and followed behind Shen Tian.

The Hidden Fog Country’s king walked up to Shen Tian and asked if he was willing to have a golden statue built in his honor.

Naturally, Shen Tian wanted to reject the idea.

I’m just a Foundation Establishment cultivator! What if my providence is too low to have such honor and backfire?

Just as Shen Tian about to reject the proposal, the Sacred Leader spoke. “Tian’er, accept that. According to ancient books, it would be beneficial to you when tons of people make offerings in your name.”

The Sacred Leader believed that Shen Tian was the Son of Providence, so it was alright for them to build a golden statue for him.

Shen Tian had no choice. “Alright, but make sure the statue includes the mask as well. Try to be as low-profile as possible.”

Shen Tian took out his Phoenix Feather Mask and showed it to the king.

“Alright, Master Celestial. I’ll ask the best sculptor to do it.”

Well, I will definitely give emphasis to Master Celestial’s essence! The Phoenix Feather Mask looks so good on Master Celestial! It gives prominence to his transcendent self!

The Hidden Fog Country’s king was willing to build hundreds of statues of Shen Tian after knowing the relationship between him and the Sacred Leader.

Gold was not precious in the world of cultivation. It would be more valuable to be favored by the sacred ground. As long as he had the chance to flatter Master Celestial, money was not something to worry about!

…

When everything was settled, the Sacred Leader Token vibrated again.

Zhang Yunting’s voice sounded. “Father! Father! This is Yunting. Can you hear me?”

The Sacred Leader replied, “Yes? Are you at Junior Sister White Lotus’s place?”

Zhang Yunting said, “We are there already. But Aunt-Master White Lotus says that Senior Brother’s injury is too serious. She tried her best and could only prevent the wounds from getting worse. There’s nothing much she could do. When can you guys be back? Senior Brother is vomiting blood now. He is in great pain. What do I do?”

The Sacred Leader replied, “Relax! Do not panic. I’m on the way back. I’ll reach White Lotus Mountain soon. Do not panic!”

The Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader kept the token and looked at the king.

“I’ll take my leave now. You guys continue to discuss the details on Tian’er’s golden statue.”

The king promised to provide the best resources he had.

The Sacred Leader used his mystic art again and brought the others back to the sacred ground. He planted the Spirit Stone Vein down at the Saint Mountain and left.

Although he had abandoned his feelings, he was still worried about Fang Chang.

…

Many true disciples were around the White Lotus Mountain.

Fang Chang was very arrogant in the sacred ground and did not have a good relationship with others. However, suffering a Qi Deviation while trying to reach the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage was a shocking piece of news, and everyone wanted to know the latest information.

Shen Tian sat on the Saint Mountain’s Enlightenment Stone, moody. He was holding a chrysanthemum and counting its petals.

“My fault, not my fault, my fault, not my fault…”

Shen Tian was only thinking about one thing now.

Am I the one to blame for Fang Chang’s Qi Deviation? Is it because I took away his fortuitous opportunity?

Oh, I feel so bad for him!
