I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 197: You're Unworthy To Pretend To Be Senior Brother Shen Ao!

Chapter 197: You’re Unworthy To Pretend To Be Senior Brother Shen Ao!

Grand White Sword Palace...

At the outer perimeter of the Primordial Battlefield, the palace where the Grand White Grotto-Heaven disciples stayed...

At the back garden, there was a man in white swinging his sword.

The brilliant red sword aura gathered on the blades and pierced three feet away; the power of that attack was extremely domineering and unparalleled.

The illusion of a red sun could be vaguely seen formed on the blade of the sword.

“Chao Yang Sword Art, Second Technique—Sun-Piercing Rainbow!”

That man snorted, then that originally three feet long sword aura instantly increased several times, becoming as long as 10 feet.

As the huge sword aura sliced downward, it directly slashed an obvious chasm on the ground.

The power of that sword was enough to let mortals bow down and worship him!

After swinging that sword, the man’s face seemed to be slightly pale. It was obvious that the attack’s consumption was quite high.

He gradually walked toward a swordsman wearing a purple robe, bowed, and said, “Master, I have mastered my strike.”

Supremacy Zi Yang Sun nodded and revealed a satisfied expression. “Not bad, not bad. You’re able to learn the Chao Yang Sword Art’s Second Technique in just a short half a month.

“Ao’er, you’re indeed a promising disciple for Sword Dao. Of course, mainly it’s because Senior Brother Chang He had taught you well!

“Senior Brother’s evaluation of you is not bad. You can go to the back mountain more when you have time to train.

“You have to know of the mantra ‘no pain, no gain’. You cannot slack off!”

Shen Ao’s heart skipped a beat.

WTF? Go to the back mountain more to train?

You’re too cunning! It’s because you don’t want to go to the back mountain that you make me the scapegoat!

Shen Ao could never forget what he had experienced in this half a month—it was not cultivating and Dao Seeking at all!

It was simply torture!

However, thinking that his Senior Brother, Li Changge, was still being tortured now, Shen Ao felt much better since he was not the most miserable one!

As he crazily complained about his master, he still had to go along with what his master said.

Shen Ao smiled and said, “Yes, Master.”

Supremacy Zi Yang nodded in satisfaction. He was still very satisfied with this disciple he had accepted recently.

Although he had grown up in the palace, he did not have the bad habits of royalty. He was still calm, cautious, and humble.

Also, he was able to bear hardships when training swordsmanship. One had to know that the number of youngsters who could endure Senior Brother Chang He’s training was in the few.

Supremacy Zi Yang believed that as long as Shen Ao continued persevering, he would definitely have the chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage and become a Nascent Soul Supremacy who would be respected.

By then, he might not lose to his so-called Saint brother.

Since the road of cultivation was long, one’s background did not mean everything. The number of powerful cultivators that had risen up from insignificant backgrounds was not in the few.

Like Supremacy Zi Yang, many cultivators that had come from normal families all firmly believed so!

Thinking till here, Supremacy Zi Yang felt that he should encourage his disciple, Shen Ao.

He said calmly. “Ao’er, I’ll tell you something about the Sword Dao!

“We, sword cultivators, should have unyielding pride. Our swords would rather break than be bent!

“As long as we keep our swords in our heart, their sharpness would be able to slice through everything!

“Although your talent is not high, as long as you’re hardworking, you can definitely advance triumphantly on the road of Sword Dao and surpa.s.s all those so-called geniuses!

“Do you understand?”

In Supremacy Zi Yang’s eyes, Shen Ao’s talent was bad, as he could not be compared to geniuses at all. The Country of Fire was simply too insignificant as compared to the whole Eastern Wilderness, after all!

Shen Ao had already understood such a point in this half a month. He had also suffered a huge blow and was depressed because of that before.

However, now that he had heard his master’s ‘chicken soup’, Shen Ao once again was filled with fighting spirit. He seemed to be deep in thought, and his eyes lit up.

“Thank you, Master, for your teachings. I understand! I will continue training my sword!

“One day, my swordsmanship will be able to slice through everything!”

At that moment, Shen Ao seemed to be enlightened.

Meanwhile, a disciple ran in from the back garden. “Reporting to Martial Uncle Zi Yang, a disciple from Jade Lake Sacred Ground has come.”

Supremacy Zi Yang frowned. “Jade Lake Sacred Ground’s disciple? Did someone from our sect cause trouble?”

That disciple shook his head. “No, the person that came was Jade Lake Sacred Ground’s Fairy Xiao Ling. She said she’s here to find Senior Brother Shen Ao.

“Also-also, I heard a certain Junior Sister from Jade Lake Sacred Ground say that Fairy Xiao Ling is also from the Country of Fire.

“She had always admired Senior Brother Shen Ao. Ever since joining the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, she had always asked around about Senior Brother Shen Ao.”

Supremacy Zi Yang squinted his eyes. “You mean, Fairy Xiao Ling likes Shen Ao?”

The disciple scratched his head and grinned. “Anyway, that’s what the rumors say. I think it’s quite reliable.”

Supremacy Zi Yang stroked his beard, smiled, and said, “Lead Fairy Xiao Ling and her Senior and Junior Sisters to the guest reception hall. Treat them with the utmost hospitality, don’t offend them.”

The disciple nodded and left.

Shen Ao frowned. He really could not remember that he knew a person named Xiao Ling.

However, with his reputation in the Country of Fire previously, it was indeed normal for girls to secretly admire him.

At that thought, Shen Ao’s lips were slightly curved. “Master, this Fairy Xiao Ling, how should I deal with her?”

Supremacy Zi Yang’s eyes were burning with pa.s.sion. “b.u.t.ter up! b.u.t.ter her up!”

Shen Ao was stunned. “b.u.t.ter up? What does that mean? Why do I have to b.u.t.ter her up?”

Supremacy Zi Yang looked at Shen Ao angrily for his ignorance. “Ao’er, do you know who she is?

“Fairy Xiao Ling, she’s the one with the Connate Spirit Const.i.tution that the Jade Lake Sacred Ground recently found. She’s a peerless genius!

“She has an extraordinary foundation and can become Jade Lake’s Saintess. In the future, she will even have a high possibility of reaching the Soul Formation stage!

“If her luck is good, she might even transcend the tribulation and become a Sage. It’s even possible that she might become the leader of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground 1,000 years later!

“Such a peerless genius is actually blind and took a liking to you, aren’t you moved?”

Shen Ao was stunned. “However, Master, didn’t you say just now that as long as I’m hardworking enough, then I can surpa.s.s all these so-called geniuses?”

Supremacy Zi Yang patted Shen Ao’s shoulder and replied, “My master had also told me this in the past. Such words mean nothing, don’t take them too seriously. Or else, when you meet a real genius, you’ll break down.

“If in the past there was such a peerless genius that took a liking to me, would I still need to work so hard?

“Anyway, listen to my advice. Take advantage when she has yet to see what true geniuses are and is still blind. Hurry and get her.

“The best is just to directly have a baby, then what’s done cannot be undone!

“Otherwise, if you mess up such a sure thing, then you’ll definitely regret it!”

Shen Ao, “...”

Seeing his master—who was so confident and imposing just a moment ago, saying, “As long as you’re worked hardworking, then even geniuses can be surpa.s.sed”—was now encouraging him to freeload off a woman, Shen Ao was completely stunned.

Frankly speaking, he was a little doubtful.

If he worked hard and cultivated, could he really surpa.s.s a genius?

What if the genius was also hardworking!

Or should he choose to get together with that Saintess so he would not need to struggle anymore?

Shen Ao walked toward the guest reception hall in a completely stunned state. He was overwhelmed by highly mixed feelings. His dream of cultivation and reality was conflicting.

Two voices were arguing within him.

One of them was rebellious and was firmly against the fact of selling himself!

The other was bewitching him. “Isn’t it better to just get together with her, the peerless genius of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground?”

...

The guest reception hall was already visible, so Shen Ao was anxious. He could feel the sweat on his palms as he was extremely nervous now.

That Jade Lake Sacred Ground Fairy, how tall is she? What’s her age? Is she pretty?

If she is not the type that I like, should I still get together with her? But we would not be happy like this!

As Shen Ao slowly walked into the hall, the moment he entered, he was completely astounded!

He saw that there was a lady in green sitting on the left side of the hall. Her skin was as white as snow, her face was as beautiful as peach blossom, and she was exuding her gorgeous charm.

If there was someone favored by the heavens and all the beautiful phrases could be used to describe her, then... it should be her.

The moment he saw her, Shen Ao could feel that the rebellious soul in his mind...

Was being tamed!

Freeloading is awesome!

After gently coughing, Shen Ao took a mirror out of his storage bag and carefully styled his hair.

He carried his sword on his back and smiled as he walked into the guest reception hall. He tried his best to carry himself with ease and natural poise.

Indeed, he successfully attracted Fairy Xiao Ling’s attention.

However, that lady gradually stood up, folded her hands in the front, and asked, “Senior Brother, I have waited for quite a long time. May I know when I can meet Senior Brother Shen Ao?”

The numerous female disciples of Jade Lake Sacred Ground secretly shook their heads.

Senior Sister Ling’er is indeed infatuated with him.

As the true disciple of the sacred ground who even had hope of fighting for the Saintess position, she did not hesitate to humble herself and come to the Great White Sword Palace to find the so-called Shen Ao.

Who knows what kind of handsome-looking man could make Senior Sister this infatuated? It’s making us antic.i.p.ate!

The desire for beautiful things was universal, after all.

In an instant, all the female disciples looked at Shen Ao, awaiting his reply.

Meanwhile, Shen Ao was completely dumbfounded.

WTF do you mean you’ve waited for a long time? When can you meet Shen Ao?

I’m standing right in front of you!

Why, are you blind!?

Seeing that Fairy Xiao Ling was indeed gorgeous, Shen Ao endured it!

He squeezed out a smile that he thought was gentlemanly. “Fairy Xiao Ling, I am Shen Ao.”

He is Shen Ao?

In that instant, all the female disciples from the Jade Lake Sacred Ground were all dumbstruck!

This is the man that Senior Sister Ling’er praised, an extremely handsome man with “matchless” good looks, Shen Ao?’

Even if beauty was in the eye of the beholder, this was too much!

This guy’s look was only above average!

All the female disciples looked toward Xiao Ling.

Meanwhile, the previously smiling Xiao Ling turned expressionless. “Senior Brother, you say you’re Shen Ao?”

Shen Ao nodded. “My name is indeed Shen Ao.”

Xiao Ling took a deep breath. “The Sixth Prince of the Country of Fire?”

Shen Ao replied, “Indeed.”

Xiao Ling shook her head. “No, you’re not him, you’re not Shen Ao.”

Shen Ao, “???”

Xiao Ling slowly stood up, looked at Shen Ao, and her temperament gradually turned fierce. “Just where is Shen Ao?”

Shen Ao, “???”

“The Grand White Grotto-Heaven is too disrespectful. I just want to meet my old friend, so why must your sect hide Senior Brother Shen Ao?”

Shen Ao, “???”

“I know! It must be that b*tch Li Lian’er! Is it Li Lian’er who doesn’t want me to meet Senior Brother Shen Ao?”

Shen Ao, “???”

“You’re going too far. I definitely want to meet Senior Brother Shen Ao today!”

Shen Ao said, “Fairy, I’m really Shen Ao!”

Xiao Ling said, “Ha, you think you’re worthy?

“My Senior Brother Shen Ao had guided fated people in the Myriad Spirit Garden before, while his handsome appearance had made countless women go crazy over him.

“Senior Brother, please look at your appearance in the mirror. Are you worthy of pretending to be Senior Brother Shen Ao?”

Shen Ao exclaimed, “Guide fated people in the Myriad Spirit Garden!?”

Shen Ao suddenly understood something!

It’s him, it’s him! It’s Thirteenth Brother again!

In that instant, Shen Ao was on the verge of tears!

...

“Ah choo~!”

At the same moment, on the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel tens of miles away from the Grand White Sword Palace...

A big wooden barrel was filled with Nirvana Holy Liquid, and Shen Tian was comfortably soaked within it. The abundance of vitality energy crazily surged into his body, which made him feel so comfortable it was as if he was floating.

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Ah, ah, ah!

I am thankful to the brother who spread the rumor that I use Nirvana Holy Liquid to bathe. It opened the door to a new world for me.

Who would have thought that using the Nirvana Holy Liquid to bathe would be this amazing!?

More importantly, Shen Tian could obviously feel that his physical body was being strengthened.

This was not purely an increase in strength, but it was refining his body as a whole and enhancing his body from the core.

As more and more energy from the Nirvana Holy Liquid was absorbed, Shen Tian could feel that his foundation for cultivation was gradually increasing.

The Spirit Qi Dharmic powers started circulating within him, and the circulation was unprecedentedly smooth as if he was moving his arm.

Meanwhile, he also clearly sensed that his cultivation level was also increasing steadily.

The Dharmic foundation of the five Divine Beasts’ avatars carved on his dantian was gradually expanding. That represented Shen Tian’s cultivation level was increasing rapidly, advancing from mid-stage to late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Also, there was even more energy hidden within Shen Tian’s body that needed his body to slowly digest and absorb it!

This was a long subtle process that could not be hurried.

At that moment, Shen Tian could not help but exclaim, “Indeed, working hard to cultivate is totally unreliable! Spending money and using resources is the way to go!”

Some people trained hundreds of years consistently to increase their cultivation levels.

However, some people just needed to take a bath, and they could comfortably break through.

The only pity was that after Shen Tian bathed in the Nirvana Holy Liquid, the amount of energy within the Nirvana Holy Liquid greatly decreased.

Most probably, if Shen Tian bathed a little longer, then this Nirvana Holy Liquid would become diluted.

Could it still heal injuries after it is diluted and applied externally?

Hmm, if there’s a chance, let’s try it out in the Primordial Battlefield!

Anyway, there’s no poison. At most, it’s just the medicinal effects would decrease.

If three bowls are concentrated into one, the healing medicinal effects will most likely not have much difference. I’ll just keep it since this Nirvana Holy Liquid was something I risked my life to get. If it is wasted, then it’s really not worth it!

As Shen Tian was deep in thought, drum sounds echoed from outside.

Shen Tian knew that it was the command for everyone to prepare to gather as the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel was about to reach the Primordial Battlefield’s outer perimeter.

He slowly walked out of the bathtub. He looked at the Nirvana Holy Liquid, whose color had turned much lighter, and then nodded his head secretly.

A red jade bottle appeared in Shen Tian’s hands. It was completely different from the other green jade bottles.

Shen Tian made a hand seal, and all the Nirvana Holy Liquid within the bathtub was sucked into it. Afterward, he donned his White Dragon clothes made of brocade and walked toward the deck.

...

This time the Grand White Grotto-Heaven will also join this Primordial Battlefield trial.

Will Lian’er and Sixth Brother come? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen them.

I kinda miss them!
