I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 77: 5,000 Years, Best In Lightning Arts

A smile blossomed on the old Taoist priest’s face as he watched the Spirit-Stone-rain falling from the void.

He gradually stretched out his right hand and slightly bent his five fingers, releasing a surging attraction that could not be matched.

Those millions of Spirit Stones were instantly pulled toward the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest made a gesture with his hand, and all the Spirit Stones were kept within his ring.

“I’ve earned big time, big time. These are enough for me to use for quite a few months!

“Thank you so much, everyone. You’re welcome to continue stalking the disciples from our sacred ground. As long as you have enough Spirit Stones, I will definitely not make it difficult for you.

“However, next time, don’t follow my Martial Niece, since she is a girl. Go stalk Zhang Yunting and Fang Chang, those two foolish boys. I don’t mind even if you beat them up,” said the old Taoist priest with a smile as he used his variant fire, Azure Green Sky Flame, to barbecue the Great Golden-Winged Eagle.

“That’s right. I am grilling someone from Southern Border’s Eagle race, the Demon King Great Golden-Winged Eagle. Those observing, why don’t you come out? Aren’t you interested in enjoying such a supreme delicacy?”

There was no reply from the void, only the presence of a few people rapidly escaping in the distance.

The old Taoist priest did not stop them. He just smiled as he flipped the Great Golden-Winged Eagle repeatedly, occasionally sprinkling it with seasonings.

Those who had managed to keep their composure and stay hidden away had extraordinary identities. If the old Taoist priest really pulled them all out, then it would be a fascinating scene.

It was currently enough to use this Demon King, who was in the Soul Formation stage, to beat the dog before the lion since those people had just stalked but had not made a move.

The 1,000,000 Spirit Stones were the price of their apology, their compensation.

This could be counted as the unspoken rule of the cultivation world.

…

The Great Golden-Winged Eagle’s whole body, which was being grilled by the Azure Green Sky Flame, was radiating divine golden light. That was the power of its bloodline and its demon energy being refined into its origin, a great supplement of essence energy.

As a Demon King in the Soul Formation stage, each drop of its blood contained an immense amount of energy and aura.

If cultivators below the Golden Core stage just anyhow consumed it, then they would even explode and die. However, if one could really absorb and refine it within, then it would definitely be one of the top nourishing items. The medicinal effects of a piece of the eagle’s meat could even be compared to Spirit Pills and herbs!

“Little Xiao’er, you were injured quite heavily. Come and eat some chicken meat from Martial Uncle.”

That old Taoist priest took a look at Zhang Yunxi, who had crossed her legs and was meditating to heal her wounds, and tore a piece of Great Golden-Winged Eagle’s thigh.

The eagle’s real body could be said to be hundreds of meters long, yet it had been forcibly compressed to the size of a rooster by the old Taoist priest.

The eagle’s thigh contained the core essence of life origin, so its medicinal effects were definitely top-notch!

If it were not for Zhang Yunxi being to Elder Azure Lotus’ liking, he would not give her any.

If it were Zhang Yunting and Fang Chang, they wouldn’t even dare to fight with him for food. Hehe, their legs would be broken if they tried!

“Thank you, Martial Uncle.”

Zhang Yunxi took the chicken thigh and slowly ate it, chewing it carefully.

Zhang Yunxi instantly absorbed the essence energy, which the variant flame had already refined.

Shortly, Zhang Yunxi could feel that her internal injuries were rapidly recovering.

The old Taoist priest asked as he grilled the Great Golden-Winged Eagle, “Little Xiao’er, you informed me that you found the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant, is it true?”

Even a powerful being such as the old Taoist priest was also extremely nervous when he mentioned the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant since only by finding the supreme inheritance of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground could they have the opportunity to rise up again.

Zhang Yunxi nodded, took out a jade pendant, which had been sealed, and took a deep breath. “Martial Uncle, look. The Divine Firmament Drager Pendant is in here. Since Martial Uncle has come, then I’ll pass it to you to take care of it!”

The old Taoist priest’s eyes shone with radiant splendor as he hurriedly refused. “How could I do that? You found it!”

Zhang Yunxi smiled and said, “Martial Uncle’s cultivation level is much higher and profound. It’s safer for you to safeguard it.”

“Since Little Xiao’er is this resolute, then I’ll have no choice but to help you.” The old Taoist priest patted his chest. “Don’t worry. No one would be able to snatch it from me!”

…

After finishing the whole thigh of the Great Golden-Winged Eagle, Zhang Yunxi was glowing with golden light. Its energy was so immense that she was unable to absorb all of it, thus producing the light.

However, it was completely different for the old Taoist priest. He had devoured the whole Great Golden-Winged Eagle, even chewing up the bones and swallowing them.

In the end, the old Taoist priest was still the same. There was no difference at all, no matter how small. It was as if what he ate was not a Demon King in the Soul Formation stage, but just an ordinary large rooster.

After finishing the Great Golden-Winged Eagle, the old Taoist priest and Zhang Yunxi headed toward the nearest city.

The cultivation world was vast and expansive; even just the land which the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground controlled was hundreds of millions of kilometers. Thus, if cultivators relied on just flying, then even the legs of those in the Soul Formation stage would turn soft.

Therefore, most cultivators would choose to use teleportation circles for long-distance traveling.

There was such a teleportation circle in the city near the old Taoist priest and Zhang Yunxi. They could get to the largest cultivator’s trading city nearby through this teleportation circle. They could then use the large long-distance teleportation circle to directly teleport near the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

…

After using the teleportation circle twice, the old Taoist priest and Zhang Yunxi finally arrived within Divine Firmament City at dusk.

Divine Firmament City was a super large-scale cultivator’s trading city that was under the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

As sacred grounds were all within Small Worlds that were independently created, no teleportation circle could directly teleport someone into the sect.

After leaving Divine Firmament City, the two of them rushed toward the Divine Firmament’s Small World entrance, the Divine Firmament Peak.

That was the only entrance to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, so it was guarded extremely securely.

The two of them took out their identity tokens and verified their identities. Then, they passed through the spatial tunnel, entering the Divine Firmament Small World.

…

As the sacred ground’s headquarters, the Spirit Qi was extremely abundant within the Divine Firmament Small World.

Even in the outer boundary, the density of Spirit Qi was more than a few times that of the Country of Fire, not to mention the core areas, the Spirit Mountains where the core disciples trained.

With the nourishment of Spirit Qi, exotic flowers, and rare herbs that were difficult to find outside were everywhere. It was an extremely beautiful scene.

If one trained under such an environment, even without any Spirit Stones’ aid, one would not necessarily be weaker than normal cultivators in the outside world.

The old Taoist priest looked at the surrounding Spirit Mountains in envy, and then he touched the Drager Pendant.

He walked toward the Sacred Leader’s palace on the main mountain with Zhang Yunxi, with him in front.

…

The doors of the Sacred Leader’s palace opened with a loud sound.

The whole palace was made of Black Lightning Crystals, meaning it was a supreme-grade divine weapon by itself. If necessary, it could totally turn into the most powerful thunder-attribute sacred soldier, intimidating and killing enemies.

The purple palace was supported by ten pillars that were carved with mythological beasts.

Different colors of Divine Lightning flashed on the ten pillars, and their radiance was incomparable.

That was the Yin-Yang Five Elements, the ten types of the powerful lightning essence!

Right in the center of the palace was a throne.

There was a man sitting on the throne upright.

His body’s surface was surrounded by lightning, and he shone so brightly he could not be seen directly.

There was a thick heavenly aura sinking and emerging around him, enveloping him within it as if it was a mist.

He was indeed sitting in front of them, but it was as if he did not belong to this world.

He was a being that was detached beyond the void; all kinds of karma did not affect him.

That person was the Sacred Leader of the Divine Firmament, Long Yuan. He was known to be the best in lightning arts in the whole of the Eastern Wilderness in the past 5,000 years.

At the same time, he was also the mentor of Fang Chang, the first senior brother of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, and the father of Zhang Yunxi and Zhang Yunting.

The Black Dragon, White Tiger, and Golden Qilin of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were all his disciples!
