I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 472: Brother Shen, Receive My Full-Out Attack!

The various prodigies were elated upon receiving Shen Tian’s understanding through his divine consciousness.

They were the purest and most unique insights of the imperial sutras, containing supreme profundities that could allow others to understand quickly.

Also, the one that had bestowed them was none other than the legendary Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader, Shen Tian. This was definitely a priceless gift.

All prodigies knew that Shen Tian had exceptional talent and peerless battle prowess.

His understanding of the imperial sutras definitely reached an unfathomable level!

The various prodigies were over the moon, and they hurriedly expressed their gratitude. “Thank you, uncle…”

They sat down cross-legged and started to immerse themselves with their eyes closed, sensing the divine consciousness’s heritage.

…

Seeing how everyone finally quietened down, Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.

These little kids are really too lively!

If they continued speaking, how many more nephews and nieces or juniors would appear?

Cough, cough… I shudder at that thought.

Shen Tian discovered a problem through this incident.

Most of these prodigies were the offspring of people from his generation.

Did the cultivators of the five regions all get married so early?

Shen Tian narrowed his eyes and asked out of curiosity, “Senior Brother, why have so many prodigies already given birth to children?”

Prodigies such as Li Changge, Kun Ming… their true age was just a few hundred years old.

A Sage could live up to 10,000 years, so it could be said that they were extremely young.

In the end, they had given birth to children so early, and their children had already grown so much. Thus, Shen Tian was truly curious.

According to Shen Tian’s understanding, few cultivators would give birth to children at such a young age.

In the past, it was normal for cultivators to give birth to children when they were around a few thousand years old.

Meanwhile, over 1,000-year-old cultivators without Dao Companions could be found everywhere.

Everyone was concentrated on cultivating and only thought of ways to increase their strength. As such, few would focus on love relationships, getting married, and giving birth.

Basically, they would wait until they had reached a certain level of cultivation or achievements. When they had the time, they would consider giving birth to children.

The cultivators had started giving birth when they were just a few hundred years old, so it was a little bizarre.

Zhang Yunting smiled and explained, “The calamity has descended upon us, so the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty has been encouraging the prodigies to get married and give birth earlier. If more children are born, then the overall strength of the five regions’ cultivators will increase as much as possible!

“Such a concept has been firmly established in everyone’s minds. As such, a new batch of prodigies will be born every dozen years.”

Shen Tian, “…”

So, they rely on giving birth to children to deal with the calamity?

But they do make some sense.

As this was the era of calamity, Spirit Qi was in abundance, and the cultivators would have a higher affinity with the laws. Hence, the growth of this generation’s prodigies was extremely fast.

This generation’s monstrous prodigies were a good example. They were just around 20 to 30 years old, but they had broken through to the Soul Formation/Mighty Prowess stage/realm.

If it was in the past, this would be something unimaginable.

Without hundreds to thousands of years, basically, no one would be able to reach such a cultivation level.

Meanwhile, by encouraging cultivators to give birth, there would be more fresh blood and higher chances of monstrous prodigies being born.

One in 10,000 or even one in 1,000,000, it would not be difficult for top prodigies to appear!

Although the five regions were in great danger as the Evil Spirits from the outer regions had started invading them, the various sacred grounds could still last for some time.

That time was enough for many children to grow up and become powerful cultivators. They would protect and defend the five regions from the calamity together.

…

At that moment, the various prodigies’ understanding of their respective imperial sutra increased more and more.

Light rained from the sky like falling crystal petals, and this whole place was filled with the aura of enlightenment.

The various prodigies’ auras increased more and more, surging out of them vigorously. They enjoyed the rain of light and looked heavenly.

Their bodies emitted mysterious strength and shone with divine light as they continued attaining enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao.

Rumble!

The fearsome divine energy was vast like the sea as it swirled around them.

In a short moment, someone was successful in enlightenment and had a huge increase in cultivation level.

Everyone could sense they were breaking through one after the other, their auras filling the whole Copper Sparrow Pavilion. It was soon covered by endless Spirit Qi.

The prodigies benefited greatly, and many of them had cultivation breakthroughs. They slowly awakened, and their faces were filled with joy.

They exclaimed, “The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s imperial sutra insights are really unfathomable. We cannot even begin to compare.”

“My understanding of the imperial sutra has increased by quite a few times thanks to the insights!”

“Me too, I have successfully cultivated the Imperial Sutra of Sun to Greater Mastery!”

“Me too, me too!”

“Same for me!”

“Thank you, Senior Sacred Leader!”

“Thank you, uncle!”

…

All the prodigies were delighted. They had benefited greatly from this enlightenment and saved at least dozens of years of cultivation.

Therefore, the prodigies were grateful and full of admiration toward Shen Tian.

However, just when they were about to stand up to express their gratitude, they realized that Shen Tian had suddenly flown straight into the clouds, leaving a trail of divine light behind.

Everyone was stunned and baffled.

“Why did the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader leave?”

“That’s right! I originally wanted to negotiate with him to see if he could accept my aunt!”

“That’s right, that’s right. My aunt has stayed at home for so many years too. It’s time for her to marry!”

“Me too, same for me!”

…

Shen Tian was drenched in cold sweat. He heaved a sigh of relief as he was troubled.

“Phew, it’s good that I reacted quickly!

“If they were to surround me again, I think my head would explode!

“Being a senior is just too terrifying!”

Shen Tian, who had been heroic and invincible all along, also had to retreat when encountering matters related to love. After all, his mindset was still the same as 180 years ago, and almost nothing had changed.

Who would be able to deal with it when so many people wanted to talk about his marriage?

Therefore, it was better to escape first!

Seeing that he had finally gotten rid of them, Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.

…

At that moment, the fabrics of space vibrated vigorously until they were distorted. A dazzling light appeared in the air, and a powerful aura surged.

The fabrics of space were torn apart by a supreme force, and a brilliant hole of light appeared.

The light enshrouded within shone brightly with a magnificent aura.

Shen Tian narrowed his eyes and saw that two figures appeared out of nowhere.

One of them wore a purple scholarly robe and seemed majestic. His eyes were so deep they seemed to contain the world.

However, his aura was extremely gentle. He seemed to merge with heaven and earth with each step he took, and he looked unreal and impossible to capture.

Meanwhile, the other wore white clothes. His face betrayed that he had been through vicissitudes of life, and he seemed more mature and was no longer unruly.

His aura was extremely powerful but restrained within his body. Nonetheless, others could still sense the extremely violent energy contained in his physical body.

Those two were Huang Shi and Shi Tianzi.

Shen Tian’s pupils’ constricted upon seeing them.

Even at his current level, he could not see through Huang Shi. Instead, felt that he had become even more profound and unfathomable.

Shen Tian exclaimed inwardly, Huang Shi is truly the most powerful cultivator in the five regions.

With a cultivator of his caliber, even the Evil Spirits would not be able to invade the five regions easily!

Afterward, Shen Tian looked toward Shi Tianzi. He discovered that Shi Tianzi’s cultivation level had also increased greatly.

Shi Tianzi had successfully broken through from Mid-Stage Heavenly Venerable to Six Tribulation True Sage!

However, given Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess, he could contend against Mighty Sages!

As expected of the young paragon, his talent was indeed high!

Shi Tian stepped forward and said, “Uncle Shi and Brother Tianzi, it’s been a long time!”

Huang Shi revealed an amiable smile and said, “You’ve returned.”

Upon sensing Shen Tian’s aura, Huang Shi had directly brought Shi Tianzi over.

Shen Tian nodded and exclaimed, “I was in seclusion for too long. I came out too late.”

Huang Shi smiled and nodded. “Tian’er, since you could cultivate in seclusion within the Spherical Heaven Chessboard for so long, you must have benefited greatly!”

With his understanding of the Supreme Sky Tree World, how could he not know what the Spherical Heaven Chessboard signified?

It was the greatest land of fortuitous opportunity in the Supreme Sky Tree World, and great fortuitous opportunities were within.

Meanwhile, Shi Tianzi had also recounted the situation in the Spherical Heaven Chessboard after his return.

Therefore, Huang Shi knew that Shen Tian had obtained Immortal King Hun Tian’s heritage.

Shen Tian nodded and said, “Indeed, I’ve benefited greatly, and my strength increased.”

Shen Tian was still very humble in front of Huang Shi.

Huang Shi laughed heartily and said, “Good, very good!

“There will be more hope for the five regions with you here!”

Huang Shi had long been treating Shen Tian as his disciple. Otherwise, he would not have passed the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra and Immortal Peach Herb to him.

Seeing that Shen Tian had obtained such achievements, he felt gratified.

…

Shen Tian nodded. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Uncle Shi, I’ve already refined the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill you have mentioned.

“However, it’s not the Peach Sky-Mending Pill, but a Banana Sky-Mending Pill!”

Shen Tian recounted everything related to the Sacred Battle Abode to Huang Shi and said, “Although the Banana Sky-Mending Pill’s effects cannot be compared to the Peach Sky-Mending Pill, I’m willing to give two Sky-Mending Pills as compensation.”

After saying that, Shen Tian took out two Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills and passed them to Huang Shi.

The effects of a single Banana Sky-Mending Pill could not be compared to the Peach Sky-Mending Pill. There was not much difference.

Thus, the value of two Banana Sky-Mending Pills was much higher than just one Peach Sky-Mending Pill.

Since each person could only eat one pill, one more pill would mean another powerful cultivator could be created.

However, Shen Tian did not mind. Huang Shi was the most powerful cultivator in the five regions, and the burdens he carried were far beyond that of normal cultivators.

Everyone was cultivating peacefully, but he would need to keep an eye on the top Evil Spirit cultivators to prevent accidents.

Otherwise, once powerful cultivators of their caliber started killing, the whole five regions would be plunged into an abyss of misery.

Therefore, Huang Shi was the senior that deserved to be respected the most in the five regions.

Giving the Sky-Mending Pills to him could not only increase his strength, allowing him to protect the five regions better, but the extra pill could also nurture another powerful cultivator.

Now that the five regions were in danger, they were all on the same boat and had to fight against the Evil Spirits.

It was also a good thing for the five regions that Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was about to have another powerful cultivator.

…

Huang Shi nodded and said in gratification, “How considerate of you, Tian’er!

“Then, I’ll leave it to you youngsters to reminisce! I still have some matters to settle, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Huang Shi took the two Sky-Mending Pills and disappeared in the boundless void. He had to consume the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to increase his strength as soon as possible so that no unforeseen circumstances would occur.

Also, he had to choose a grand elder from Jixia Academy to consume the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill too.

If so, then there would be two powerful top cultivators in Jixia Academy. Ergo, there would be a higher chance of defeating the Evil Spirit race.

Seeing that Huang Shi had left, Shi Tianzi walked toward Shen Tian with excitement.

“Brother Shen, you’re finally out!”

Shi Tianzi’s eyes were filled with passion.

Shi Tianzi had left the Spherical Heaven Chessboard before he could bid farewell to Shen Tian as the latter had still been in seclusion.

Who would have thought that 180 years had passed since that last meeting?

As for Shen Tian, Shi Tianzi was filled with respect and admiration toward him but also full of fighting spirit.

He was, in the end, a young paragon and could be said to be invincible in Middle Ground.

Only after meeting Shen Tian had he experienced setbacks.

Fortunately, Shi Tianzi’s Dao Heart had not been affected. Instead, he had become more determined.

He treated Shen Tian as his rival, his friend, and the target he pursued.

Seeing his rival returning safely, Shi Tianzi was also elated.

…

Shen Tian smiled and said, “In the many years we’ve not met, Brother Tianzi is still as handsome and talented as before!

“I bet Brother Tianzi has already cultivated the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra to perfection, right?”

If not for Shi Tianzi, Shen Tian would not have obtained Immortal King Hun Tian’s heritage.

As for this exceptionally talented, extremely powerful sheep with high providence, Shen Tian had a very favorable impression of him!

Since this sheep was the best to fleece~

Shi Tianzi’s mouth twitched upon hearing that.

“You’re flattering me. I can’t be compared to you at all!”

He did not forget that he had been confident that he could win against Shen Tian in the past. Unfortunately, the harsh reality had given him a punch in the face.

Therefore, in the years that he had left the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, Shi Tianzi had worked hard cultivating and focused on comprehending the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra.

If there was a will, there was a way. As such, he had successfully cultivated the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra to Greater Mastery.

However, as compared to Shen Tian, the difference was like heaven and earth.

3 years and 150 years—it could not be compared at all!

Shi Tianzi sighed heavily.

It’s better not to compare one’s talent with Brother Shen. It’s just too much pressure!

It’s like even I, a paragon of this generation, am like a piece of trash.

Sigh… It’s really hard to be me!

…

Since he could not compete against Shen Tian in terms of talents at all, Shi Tianzi still wanted to win against Shen Tian in other aspects.

For so many years, he had always wanted to win against Shen Tian once!

Seeing Shen Tian had returned, Shi Tianzi asked out of curiosity, “Brother Shen, just what is your cultivation level now?”

Shi Tianzi knew that Shen Tian’s cultivation level and battle prowess were not proportional.

In the past, when Shen Tian was at the peak of Nascent Soul, he had already defeated Shen Tianzi, who was a Mid-Stage Heavenly Venerable.

At that time, their battle strength had been on par with a True Sage.

After 180 years had passed, Shen Tian would definitely have broken through.

Therefore, Shi Tianzi also wanted to see just which realm Shen Tian had reached.

Shen Tian smiled and said, “Half-step Tribulation Transcendence!”

Shi Tianzi’s eyes lit up once he heard that.

When Shen Tian was in Early-Stage Soul Formation, he could fight with a Seven Tribulation Great Sage, but now that he was half a step away from the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he must have the battle prowess of a Mighty Sage!

Meanwhile, Shi Tianzi, a peak Six Tribulation Great Sage that was half a step away from Great Sage, also had the strength of a Mighty Sage!

Then didn’t this mean he had a chance to compete with Shen Tian?

Shi Tianzi’s battle intent soared.

“Brother Shen, how about we have a battle? This time, Brother Shen, you must use your full strength to fight against me!” Shi Tianzi said with a resolute tone. He suspected that Shen Tian had been lenient and had not used his full strength previously.

Otherwise, he would have definitely lost even more badly.

Nonetheless, Shi Tianzi still had his pride, so he wanted to have a fair fight with Shen Tian where they would exert their full strength!

Even if there was a difference between the two of them, he wanted to see just how big that difference was!

Shen Tian seemed troubled once he heard Shi Tianzi’s words, and he replied, “Brother Tianzi, I shouldn’t do such a thing!”

“There’s no such thing. Just use your full strength, Brother Shen. I’ll be able to receive it no matter what!”

Shi Tianzi was full of confidence. He had not lazed around in the past 180 years, so his strength had improved greatly.

He believed he could force Shen Tian to use his full strength.

“But—”

Shen Tian wanted to say something, but Shi Tianzi interrupted him. “Brother Shen, there’s no need to try persuading me. Let’s use our full strength!”

“Alright!”

Shen Tian sighed before waving his hand. Then a bright divine light appeared, and a huge divine cauldron floated in front of him.

The divine cauldron was filled with blazing Sun Fire that could burn the void into nothingness.

A powerful Sage aura surged throughout the whole place. The vast aura was as boundless as a sea, and it could seemingly crush the whole world.

That cauldron was the Divine Sun Cauldron.

Since Shi Tianzi wanted him to go all out, Shen Tian could only listen, or else it was disrespectful to him.

Shi Tianzi’s jaw dropped, and he crazily gulped his saliva.

“Brother Shen, how about we compete with our Heavenly Divine Fist?”

Shi Tianzi’s lips twitched violently.

F*ck! I said I wanted you to exert your full strength, but it’s not like I want you to beat me up.

Who would be able to take it if you took out a Thearch artifact!?

“Oh, okay, sure!”

Shen Tian nodded and stored his Divine Sun Cauldron.

Speaking of which, this was not the ace up his sleeve. He had yet to even take out his Spherical Heaven Chessboard!

Shi Tianzi instantly heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Shen Tian did not take out his Thearch artifacts, he still had a chance to fight with Shen Tian!

Shi Tianzi’s eyes burned with passion as he cupped his hands and said, “Please enlighten me through this battle!”

After finishing, Shi Tianzi charged at Shen Tian first!

His figure was like a shooting star that soared into the clouds, leaving behind bright divine light!

Shi Tianzi clenched his fists, and a tremendous force was emitted, crushing the endless void into pieces!

Shen Tian’s eyes lit up.

In the past 180 years, Shi Tianzi had been immersed in cultivating the Heavenly Divine Fist, so he was already extremely proficient in it.

Given his Six Tribulation True Sage cultivation, he could completely unleash the Heavenly Divine Fist’s power.

The force of that punch was so terrifying that even a Mighty Sage would not be able to block it head-on.

That also aroused Shen Tian’s battle intent, and he roared, “Come at me!”

Shen Tian flew into the air, and starlight surrounded him.

Shen Tian turned into a vast divine light as he soared into the sky, and his fist glowed magnificently as he punched!

In that instant, a huge boundless fist made of aura was formed in front of him.

That aura fist punched with an overwhelming force as it collided with Shi Tianzi!

Boom!

An earth-shattering sound echoed!

It did not seem like a normal battle at all. It was more like two meteorites colliding. The aura shook the earth as if going to crush the whole universe.

Endless divine light flashed in the sky. It was so bright that it could blind one’s eyes. The vast divine energy surged vigorously and filled the whole place like the boundless sea.

One would only be able to see the whole sky covered by endless divine light, making even the sun and moon dim in comparison.

When the light dissipated, Shen Tian stood in the air with an immense aura that was unfathomable.

On the other side, Shi Tianzi floated in mid-air.

His body trembled slightly as he retreated a few steps, and his eyes lit up.

Looks like Brother Shen’s understanding of the Heavenly Divine Fist is equally profound!

…

However, it is not a big problem as I’m naturally born a paragon, and I have immersed myself in the cultivation of Heavenly Divine Fist for 100 years.

There’s no chance that I will lose in this battle!

Brother Shen, prepare to receive the full-out attack that I have cultivated for the past 180 years!
