I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 41: Unless You Become Part of Jade Lake Sacred Ground

The layout of this chamber was very simple. There was a table, a chair, a bed, and a mat.

On the table was a pot of tea.

But after so many years, the tea had already dried up.

What was worth mentioning was that there was a stone statue sitting on the prayer mat in the middle of the bed.

This stone statue was extremely smooth, and its clothes fluttered in the wind.

The face was carved in an extremely exquisite and vivid manner.

As everyone entered the chamber, a female figure appeared in front of the stone statue.

This woman’s appearance was very similar to that of the stone statue. She wore a long green dress and looked absolutely beautiful.

Her appearance and figure were all on par with Little Spirit Fairy.

She even had a graceful and dignified aura that made people feel a sense of awe.

The phantom floated in the air, indifferently glancing at Shen Tian and the rest.

When she saw Shen Tian, the phantom seemed to pause for more than ten seconds.

She slowly said, “To have people enter this door, it must mean that I have passed away.

“I am the Ninth Elder of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, Spirit Venerate Divine Water.

“Those who open the cave abode with their bloodline are definitely descendants of my lineage.

“Come forward and kowtow to inherit my legacy.”

…

As the phantom announced its name, everyone was left speechless.

Ninth Elder of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground?

This identity was incredible!

The Jade Lake Sacred Ground was one of the top-ranked sacred grounds.

As an elder of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, her status was only below that of the Sacred Leader.

It could be said that she was definitely one of the top figures in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

With this in mind, Shen Tian couldn’t help but glance at Little Spirit Fairy.

He never expected this girl to be related to Spirit Venerate Divine Water.

It was no wonder she was the only one who could open the door.

“Brother Shen, she wants me to kowtow.” Little Spirit Fairy looked at the phantom and asked, “Do I kowtow?”

Shen Tian smiled. “Since she’s your senior, it’s not a big deal to kowtow to her.”

Little Spirit Fairy nodded and obediently knelt before the stone statue.

She obediently kowtowed three times at the Spirit Venerate Divine Water’s statue.

The phantom nodded slightly. “Not bad, not bad. I am very pleased.

“Child, come here.”

Little Spirit Fairy obediently approached the phantom.

The latter looked at Shen Tian again and pointed her index finger at Little Spirit Fairy’s glabella.

The phantom turned into countless specks of light and surged into Little Spirit Fairy’s body.

Spirit Venerate Divine Water’s voice reverberated in the chamber.

“Junior, remember that I have a five-hundred-year agreement to duel with the Essence Venerate Crimson Feather of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

“Although I have passed away, the agreement cannot be broken.

“The one who inherits my legacy must become the disciple of Jade Lake Sacred Ground and challenge the successor of the Essence Venerate Crimson Feather when the day comes.

“Defeat is not an option!”

…

All the lights disappeared the moment the sentence was finished.

Little Spirit Fairy slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock.

At the same time, the halo above her head became brighter than ever.

The bright red halo was as magnificent as the vast sun.

The edges of the halo were completely embedded with golden light. It was even brighter than Qin Gao’s halo.

Shen Tian, on the other hand, felt relaxed, as if he was floating.

Clearly, this was an incredible inheritance!

Little Spirit Fairy blushed when he saw Shen Tian staring at her.

She hurriedly said, “Master passed two legacies to me. One is the spirit-searching mystic technique, Deity Peering Art, and the other is the cultivation technique, Jade Lake Imperial Sutra, before the Soul Formation stage.

“But Brother Shen, I’m sorry. Master informed me when imparting the cultivation techniques.

“The Deity Peering Art was an opportunity obtained by Master. She permits me to impart you a copy.

“As long as I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will be able to pass this cultivation technique to you.

“However, the Jade Lake Imperial Sutra is a secret that cannot be passed down. One must be a disciple of the Sacred Ground to cultivate it.

“Unless you’re a member of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, I can’t impart it to you.”

…

Become part of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground?

Doesn’t the Jade Lake Sacred Ground only accept female disciples?

Upon hearing Little Spirit Fairy’s words, Shen Tian was caught between laughter and tears. He said, “It’s okay.”

The phantom just now must have been left behind by Spirit Venerable Divine Water.

Little Spirit Fairy was her descendant, so she dispersed her remnant consciousness to fulfill Little Spirit Fairy.

Shen Tian and the others were not even disciples of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground.

No matter what, it was impossible to impart the Jade Lake Sacred Ground’s core inheritance to them.

Furthermore, with Shen Tian’s current blessings from providence, he would not dare to cultivate the Jade Lake Imperial Sutra even if he could!

Just the casual cultivation of a few simple Qi Refinement techniques had led him to suffer Qi Deviation 88 times.

If he were to cultivate the profound Imperial Sutra, wouldn’t he explode into fireworks at any time?

It was still the same as ever: ‘Never cultivate when the halo isn’t green!’

…

Seeing that Shen Tian didn’t have any ill feelings toward her, Little Spirit Fairy heaved a sigh of relief.

Then she looked at Shen Tian with admiration.

“Brother Shen, I finally know why you want to help seek ores.”

Shen Tian was stunned. You know?

He remained calm and smiled. “Oh, tell me.”

Little Spirit Fairy said seriously, “The Deity Peering Art is a profound art for ore-seeking.

“Cultivators can condense their divine consciousness into an eye and scan Spirit Ores.

“The higher your attainment, the stronger your ability at scanning Spirit Ores.

“But the front part of this technique emphasizes that this technique cannot be used frequently.”

Shen Tian wore a mysterious smile and asked, “Oh, why?”

Little Spirit Fairy imagined that Shen Tian was testing her and refused to give in. “Because there’s a huge terror in Spirit Ores!

“After a long period of time, every Spirit Ore will produce an ominous force.

“This kind of ominous energy can contaminate the divine consciousness before further contaminating the body.

“Using a spirit-seeking mystic technique to search for Spirit Ores will definitely result in being tainted by the ominous force. It will require a lot of effort to get rid of it.”

Little Spirit Fairy explained the essence of the Deity Peering Art.

“However, people with high attainments in spirit-seeking mystic techniques can learn some mystic arts.

“Through these mystic arts, one can give what’s inside the spirit ore to others.

“By sharing the karma with a fated person, the pressure on the Spirit Ore Appraiser will be greatly reduced.

“As for ominous power on those fated ones, it will slowly dissipate as time passes.

“This way, a Spirit Ore Appraiser will be able to detect more Spirit Ores and not suffer a backlash.”

Shen Tian was caught between laughter and tears. So someone could be misunderstood when setting up a store to do appraisals?

However, those so-called spirit-seeking mystic techniques were nothing much!

Shen Tian did not have to worry about being unlucky at all when seeking ores for others. He had a 100% success rate.

In comparison, the so-called spirit-seeking mystic technique was useless!

Shen Tian asked again, “What will happen if the ominous power is not removed in time?”

Little Spirit Fairy said, “If it isn’t removed in a timely manner, or if a large amount of ominous energy taints someone within a short period of time, then, the Spirit Ore Appraiser might be completely corrupted by the ominous energy.

“They will suffer petrification and turn into a stone statue.”

Little Spirit Fairy seemed to have thought of something.

She looked at the stone statue sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat, her expression suddenly changing.

Thus, Spirit Venerable Divine Water had transformed into a stone statue because of the corruption of the ominous energy?

From the inherited memories, Little Spirit Fairy knew.

Her master was above the Nascent Soul stage—a Soul Formation stage expert, and she was one of the top experts at the Soul Formation stage.

Such an existence had actually turned into a statue due to the corruption of ominous energy.

What forbidden item did she touch back then!?

Little Spirit Fairy could not help but feel her scalp go numb.

At this moment, a change occurred in the chamber—the floor cracked!
