I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 330: Have You Ever Seen A Golden Core As Big As A Watermelon?

Chapter 330: Have You Ever Seen A Golden Core As Big As A Watermelon?

The grey-white aura barrier closed up. The ma.s.sive Dragon G.o.d Island was once again immersed in the chaotic aura barrier.

Shen Tian and his team exchanged looks and knowing smiles.

Although they had spent six whole months on Dragon G.o.d Island, it was all worth it. They had gained a lot of good stuff from that place.

Dragon Source Fruits, Enlightenment leaves, and that Eternal Life Sutra heritage—these three were enough to greatly enhance their powers and even help boost their own sects.

It should be pointed out that the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had flourished again all because Qi Shaoxuan had found the Nirvana Imperial Sutra.

And the importance of the Eternal Life Sutra was nearly as high as that of the Nirvana Imperial Sutra. In fact, in some ways, it might be even more useful.

In the cultivation world, there were too many techniques that burned up one’s life energy.

One could learn a few kamikaze-style techniques as trump cards when faced with mighty opponents with this sutra.

Of course, it was w.a.n.g Shenxu who benefited the most from this sutra.

Although w.a.n.g Shenxu appeared to be the weakest in the group now, Shen Tian believed that given some time to replenish his lifespan, he would soon transform into a strong and powerful man.

After all, expending one’s life in return for executing a technique was not some complicated art. It was not that difficult to reverse the effects.

As long as this fellow kept cultivating the Eternal Life Sutra and expended less of his life energy in the future, he should be able to quickly replenish the lifeforce he had recently lost.

Qi Shaoxuan said, “Since Brother Shen decided to return to the City Of Bliss to recuperate, I will go back with you.”

They had been in the Chaotic Star Island domain for over eight months and had already gained quite a good harvest.

They were inside the Chaotic Star Island domain’s deepest regions, the riskiest and most dangerous part. If they met with some kind of incident and were trapped in the domain, they might not be able to escape in time.

It was better for them to quit while they were still ahead. They would return to the City of Bliss first to recuperate before going back to the Chaotic Star Island domain’s periphery to explore further.

As good as a fortuitous opportunity might be, one had to be alive to enjoy it.

...

After finishing their discussion, they all decided to follow Shen Tian back to the City of Bliss to recuperate.

One might say it was a discussion, but actually, everyone was just following Shen Tian unconditionally. After all, the other three guys were now utterly convinced of Shen Tian’s powers.

It was now implicit knowledge that wherever Brother Shen went, good things would happen.

The Divine Firmament Saint was the luckiest chap in the five regions!

The cultivation levels of the four were considered at the top of their generation. They quickly made their way out of the Chaotic Star Island domain’s deeper regions.

Several days later, the ma.s.sive Chaos Array covering the Chaotic Star Island domain was already within sight.

One could see multiple figures waiting at the periphery through that array. They were the ocean demons who were over 500 years old. They were all staring anxiously into the Chaotic Star Island domain, looking very much like parents waiting for their children to complete an important exam.

“Bubbles, Little Mei, you have made grandmother so worried about you guys!”

“Little turtle, why did you give up so soon? Go in again and try harder!”

“Quickly, look. The Mermaid Princess, Yu Pianxian, is back! She looks even more beautiful than before!”

“She’s not the only one. The Seventh Dragon Prince is also back. The core disciples have returned safe and sound from this Chaotic Star Island domain trial.”

“Who said they are all safe and sound? Have you forgotten what happened to the Great Void Kun race’s prodigy, Kun Ming, two weeks ago?”

“Sigh, you are right. Kun Ming is so pitiful. He is the most powerful pract.i.tioner amongst the younger generation in North Sea. But he met with such a wretched end.”

“Did you hear? The Great Void Kun race already announced that they are willing to give a Sage-level artifact to anyone who is able to save Kun Ming.

...

The demons outside the domain were all chatting and gossiping away.

Shen Tian and the rest didn’t linger but left Chaotic Star Island immediately.

“Greetings Seventh Prince, Greetings Divine Firmament Saint, Purple Mansion Saint... Eh, who is this old man?”

The nine Soul Formation-level Divine Dragon Guards were waiting outside the Chaotic Star Island domain. They immediately rushed forth upon seeing Ao Wu and the rest emerge.

But they were all staring at w.a.n.g Shenxu with strange expressions.

This fellow’s hair was completely white, and his face was full of wrinkles and age spots. He did not look like he was below 500 years old at all.

Could he be an illegal trial-taker?

But no one had ever heard of illegal trial-takers in the Chaotic Star Island domain!

If not for the fact that this fellow was together with the Seventh Dragon Prince and Divine Firmament Saint, the Divine Dragon Guards really wanted to capture him back for interrogation.

They would become rich if they could find out how this old man had managed to sneak into the Chaotic Star Island domain.

The corners of w.a.n.g Shenxu’s lips twitched when he felt the Divine Dragon Guards’ piercing stares. He would have killed this bunch of guys if not for the fact that he wasn’t able to beat them.

Old man? Can’t you tell that I am just in my prime?

Shen Tian just smiled and explained, “This is the Great Void Sacred Ground’s Saint. He was accidentally teleported into the Chaotic Star Island domain, and we chanced upon each other.”

Accidentally teleported?

Haha, we are not that dumb to believe you.

How can it be that easy to enter the Chaotic Star Island domain?

Nonetheless, since the Divine Firmament Saint was already speaking up for the Great Void Saint, the Divine Dragon Guards could not be bothered to kick up a fuss.

After all, Shen Tian’s status in Black Dragon Island was too extraordinary. With Ao Bing as his partner, his seniority was even higher than that of the Black Dragon King.

As long as Shen Tian didn’t do anything that would cause severe harm to the Dragon race, everyone on Black Dragon Island had to respect him.

Ao Wu was full of excitement. “Brother Shen, shall we go find my father now, or should we wait until the entire Chaotic Star Island trial is over?”

Shen Tian smiled. “This trial has given me some epiphanies, so I need to enter seclusion for a few days to think through them. If nothing unexpected happens, let’s meet at Heavenly Music Parlor in seven days’ time. Princess Pianxian, is that okay?”

Shen Tian turned, and Yu Pianxian, who had been staring at him the entire time, immediately blushed.

She became so red that she looked like she had just been fished out of a hotpot.

She quickly said, “Sure, no problem. Brother Shen is welcome any time at the parlor.”

Yeap, Brother Shen is also welcome to visit me anytime!

...

Smiling, Shen Tian bade everyone farewell before morphing into a streak of dazzling golden light. He shot off through the air like a divine Peng.

His speed was very fast. Even a Soul Formation cultivator would be awed.

The Kun Peng Dao paired with the Feather Immortal Metal was too amazing. It was no exaggeration to say that it was the fastest speed on earth.

Shen Tian didn’t know that the s.p.a.ce near the Chaotic Star Island domain started to vibrate not long after he left.

Multiple men in black robes emerged.

“No mistake, it’s the Kun Peng Dao, and a complete version of it.”

“I didn’t expect him to understand the complete Kun Peng Dao before Young Master. Things are going to get tricky.”

“The Divine Firmament Saint and Black Dragon Island are on very good terms. I heard he already signed a Dragon G.o.d contract with one of them. It will be too risky to attack him.”

“Let’s catch up with that fellow first! It will be best if we can come to a mutual agreement. Otherwise, we have no choice but to capture him and then force him to tell us about the Kun Peng Dao.”

“The Kun Peng Dao is a legacy left behind by our ancestors. It should come back to our race. If this fellow insists on not telling us, we can’t be blamed for using force!”

“But it is still best if we can talk things over peacefully. Otherwise, there will definitely be a conflict between us and the Dragon race.”

“If we can really retrieve the greatest legacy of our race, it will all be worth it!”

After this simple discussion, the multiple figures all went back behind the fabrics of s.p.a.ce to chase after Shen Tian.

The Great Void Kun race was good at controlling the void. Their main focus was on the “swallowing” mystic arts, but their speed was not bad at all. It was on par with the elite Heavenly Venerables.

They thought that as fast as Shen Tian was, he couldn’t possibly be faster than those Heavenly Venerables.

However, they soon discovered that they were wrong.

Shen Tian was only a Golden Body pract.i.tioner, but his speed was astonishing.

On top of that, as if he felt that someone was tracking him, Shen Tian suddenly dived into the ocean and burrowed into the sand beneath, disappearing without a trace.

Yes, completely vanishing. Not even a tiny bit of aura left.

It was utterly bizarre.

...

“How did he suddenly disappear just like that?”

“He’s just a Golden Body little punk, but he managed to slip off right before our very eyes. And we are Heavenly Venerables!”

“This kid is so weird. I heard some rumors about him, and they are even more unbelievable than the Purple Mansion Saint’s. I heard he had even defeated a Sage before.”

“We might have already been detected. Never mind, let’s go back to report to the leader. Have him step in.”

“Anyway, if all fails, we will just put the pressure on the Silver Octopus race and get back part of the technique first!”

The black-clad men re-emerged and had a vexing discussion. Thereafter, they dived into the ocean and hurried back to the Great Void Kun race’s territories.

The sea remained calm and tranquil as before. There were no signs of any aura.

One minute... Two minutes... Ten minutes... An hour... Two hours...

Six hours later, the fabric s.p.a.ce rippled again.

Those black-clad men reappeared, all looking very anxious and fretful. “That sly little fox. He still refuses to emerge.”

With the heavens as their witness, they really had no intention of killing that kid. Even though they were the Great Void Kun race, they could not bear the consequences of killing that kid. They just wanted to “invite” him back to their territory and then “invite” him to impart their legacy technique back to the Kun race!

They didn’t expect this kid to be able to detect their presence and then hide so well!

More importantly, they had already said out loud that they were “going to leave”, but this kid still refused to emerge!

Is he really a prodigy of the human race and not the Fox race?

The Kun race elders’ emoticon: +999

Meanwhile, 9,000 miles away in a desolated region of the sea...

A figure quietly burrowed out from the ground and appeared on an isolated island.

The island was engulfed in a thick array formation, making it feel as if it existed in a totally different realm.

The man dressed in a white robe smiled as he strolled along the beach. He called out, “A heavenly king trumps a local tyrant.”

Another voice echoed through the air. “A paG.o.da crushes the demon river.”

The fabrics of s.p.a.ce rippled, and a man emerged on the beach.

He looked heroic in the Longyuan Divine Armor, his whole body radiating with a powerful aura.

In addition, he was wearing a Phoenix Feather Mask and a black-hooded cloak over his armor. His aura was completely concealed!

“Your gains were bountiful.”

“That’s because you controlled well from afar.”

“I have not seen you for more than half a year. Looks like you have become more handsome?”

“You’re flattering me. It’s because you gave me good genes. But you are still more handsome.”

Shen Tian took off his storage ring and gave it to the black-robed man. “Do you want to merge our bodies?”

The black-robed man shook his head. “The chaotic aura inside you is a risk. It’s better if we don’t merge for now.”

Just as the two of them chatted on, a slender figure appeared.

He was dressed in a purple robe and looked extraordinarily elegant as if he was a deity that had descended on earth.

He gazed at Shen Tian and the black-robed man in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Do you find it meaningful to talk to yourself? How did you get such a weird sense of humor?

“Also, I personally set up this array formation to conceal our auras. Even a Sage would not be able to find you.

“Don’t you find it stuffy to wear that mask?”

The black-robed man took off his Phoenix Feather Mask and chuckled. “You should have told me earlier!”

A handsome face was revealed when the mask was removed.

Who else could it be but Shen Tian?

...

Swoosh!

The waves splashed against the sh.o.r.e as Shen Tian sat cross-legged on a huge stone.

Behind him, the purple-robed Ye Qingcang floated in mid-air. His face was full of shock.

“Enlightenment leaves of this quality actually exist here. Unbelievable! This Chaotic Star Island domain is truly extraordinary!”

Ye Qingcang stroked the jade-like leaves gently and lovingly. “If this was the Celestial World, it would be worth a pretty sum.”

Shen Tian asked, “How much exactly?”

Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes at Shen Tian. “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you. Become a deity first, and I will tell you!”

With that, Ye Qingcang took a deep breath. “This is some good stuff. But we need to brew it first to fully unleash its full powers.” He shot Shen Tian a mocking look. “The way you used the Nirvana Holy Liquid to soak those Enlightenment leaves, you are desecrating a precious heavenly treasure.”

Shen Tian, “???”

This old man is mocking me!

Ye Qingcang reached out one hand. “Give me 10 leaves. I will have to expend a large amount of soul energy to help you unleash the powers of these Enlightenment tea leaves. You have to make it worth my while.”

Shen Tian, “???”

This old man is fleecing me!

Never mind, he is from the Celestial World, after all. He might know some secret method to unleash the powers of these leaves!

“I cannot give you 10. I collected about 20 and can only give you five.”

“Five? Do you think I am a fool? When I was at the Celestial World, we had Enlightenment tea leaves galore!”

“Six. That’s the highest I can go. This price is my limit!”

“Nine. Without me, you will lose at least half the effectiveness of those leaves.”

“Seven. Otherwise, I will brew them myself!”

“Eight!”

“Deal.”

Shen Tian handed over eight Enlightenment tea leaves. He looked at Ye Qingcang with antic.i.p.ation. He wanted to see just how to fully unleash the powers of those tea leaves.

...

“Look carefully. I am starting now.”

Ye Qingcang formed a hand seal and exuded a faint silver light, which possessed a wondrous aura. He infused the seal into the peerless leaf, which immediately erupted in multiple rays of light.

But in the next second, the light rays disappeared. Everything looked exactly the same as before.

Huff!

Ye Qingcang breathed out and arranged his sleeves.

Shen Tian was still completely focused. “Old Man Ye, are we starting yet?”

Ye Qingcang shook his head. “It has already ended.”

Shen Tian, “???”

That’s all?

If not for the fact he couldn’t defeat him, Shen Tian would have lifted that old man up by the beard to beat him.

It was just a one-second hand seal. How much soul energy could you have expended!

He just felt that this old man was not too reliable.

Glaring at Ye Qingcang, Shen Tian took back the peerless leaf. “Are you sure it has already ended?”

Ye Qingcang nodded. “Yes, I have already unleashed the peerless leaf’s power. You just need to chew and swallow it.”

Chew and swallow? Are you sure that’s how people in the Celestial World drink their tea?

The corners of Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. The Executing Heaven Sword inside him vibrated wildly.

Ye Qingcang chuckled. “Calm down, don’t think that I am just pulling your leg.

“The other Enlightenment tea leaves you have are more normal. Just soak them in a supreme-grade spirit spring, and you can unleash their powers.

“But this peerless leaf is an extraordinary treasure. There’s no spirit spring across the five regions that is good enough for it. It is a waste to use any kind of water here to brew it.

“Under such circ.u.mstances, brewing it would just dissipate its powers. It is better to just chew and swallow.

“Anyway, you have a very weird const.i.tution. You look like you can digest anything.

“Don’t worry, go ahead and try! I will never ask you to do something harmful to yourself!”

After shooting Ye Qingcang a dubious look, Shen Tian eventually placed the peerless leaf in his mouth and chewed it.

...

Crackle!

A crisp, fragrant feeling spread throughout Shen Tian’s mouth. The tea leaf was very crispy, like a potato chip.

As the peerless leaf was ingested into his belly, Shen Tian erupted in a dazzling silver light.

He felt light and airy all over as if he had entered into a miraculous state. All material things in this world seemed to disappear before his eyes.

As Shen Tian chewed the leaf carefully, dazzling light shot out of his eyes, as if he could see through all of the most profound and amazing techniques in this world.

A boundless avatar appeared behind him.

Divines beasts danced about, baring their teeth and fangs. Swords pierced through the skies. A sacred dragon flew through the air summoning the wind and rain. Rainbow Divine Light filled the skies. A ma.s.sive Black Tortoise performed a sword dance...

As Shen Tian continued to chew, the various avatar images became even bigger and clearer, as if they were becoming real.

It was clear that this meant that Shen Tian’s understanding of those techniques was rapidly improving. He had already advanced into a wondrous enlightenment stage. He was able to probe into the most basic foundations of all the techniques with this peerless leaf.

So much so that it was like Shen Tian himself had merged into one with the techniques.

“Silver beams shooting out of his eyes, body merging with the techniques. Could this be the Connate Const.i.tution?”

The corners of Ye Qingcang’s mouth twitched. “What kind of const.i.tution does this guy actually have? He managed to attain the Divine Sword Const.i.tution after eating a few Sword Heart Fruits. And now he gained the Connate Const.i.tution after eating an Enlightenment leaf. What do the rest of us have left to live for?”

Connate Const.i.tution, naturally gifted, able to see through all the techniques in the world just by watching with his own two eyes—this was the rarest const.i.tution in the entire Celestial World.

It was enough to astonish an entire generation!

...

As Ye Qingcang looked on dumbfounded, Shen Tian stuffed the final bit of the peerless leaf into his mouth.

Rumble!

A pomelo-sized Golden Core rose above Shen Tian’s head. It shone with a golden light, casting the entire island in a dazzling glow.

The Golden Core was enlarging at a very fast pace as if it had been given a shot of adrenaline.

Mhmm!

Have you ever seen a Golden Core the size of a watermelon?

What about one that was as big as a winter melon!?
