I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 220: Celestial World Pagoda

Chapter 220: Celestial World Pagoda

A reddish-black beetle flew across the outer regions of the Primordial Battlefield. Its wings were moving very fast as it shot straight out of the battlefield and landed in a deserted valley.

Three black-robed figures were sitting cross-legged in that deserted valley.

The beetle landed in the hands of one of the men, discreetly transmitting divine consciousness vibrations.

The black-robed man’s face underwent a major shift. “Bad news. The Divine Firmament Saint has captured Young Master!”

“How is that possible? Master gave Young Master a total of six Sacred Blood Pills! It was enough for him to subdue six Nascent Soul Blood Demons.”

“Young Master should have been indomitable and invincible in this battlefield!”

“Could it be that the sacred ground received some news and laid a trap beforehand?”

“Hurry up and report to Master! We cannot allow anything to go wrong with this task!”

The three black-robed men stood up in unison. They disappeared into the deserted valley with a slight shift of their bodies.

In Eastern Wilderness, at the Great Void Sacred Ground, on Saint Mountain...

This was where the Great Void Saint lived in seclusion. There were seldom any visitors. This was because everyone knew that the Eastern Wilderness’ Great Void Saint hated interacting with others.

But it was rumored that this prodigy’s power, who was ranked 4th on the Eastern Wilderness Golden Core List, was unfathomable.

This Great Void Saint, Wang Shenxu, hadn’t managed to break into the top three as he was very low profile and almost never competed against others. He had a divine void body and was rumored to have one of the most powerful constitutions. However, it was also a cursed constitution.

All prodigies who possessed this kind of physique—although they would have great power and were able to control space—they had to pay the price of having shortened lifespans.

Wang Shenxu’s lifespan would be shortened every time he activated a Great Void Sutra technique with his divine void body!

Even if they didn’t fight with anyone, the lifespans of people with a divine void body would still be much shorter than other cultivators. They all died premature deaths.

As a result, Wang Shenxu kept himself in seclusion. His battle records were not outstanding enough, and he was constantly ranked below Qi Shaoxuan, Bodhisattva Kuduo, and Fang Chang.

However, many people believed that if he went all out, Wang Shenxu would definitely not be inferior to Qi Shaoxuan!

After all, 10,000 years ago, during the great war against Evil Spirit, a Great Void Saint had displayed mind-blowing power.

Time was king, while space was supreme!

There was no doubt that the techniques of the void were extremely powerful.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one would dare to provoke people from the Great Void Sacred Ground.

They usually behaved very down-to-earth and kept a low profile. But they would fight to the death when truly incensed—kamikaze-style.

Anyway, they did not have as much to lose. They only had a lifespan of a few hundred years, while their opponents most likely had a lifespan of a few thousands years. It was not that much of a sacrifice for them. A real good deal!

The fragrance of tea filled the Saint Temple’s interior.

A white-clad man was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the large hall. His features were handsome and refined, but his complexion was pale while there were obvious dark circles underneath his eyes.

Four young ladies were standing beside him in attendance. They were dressed in pristine white outfits and were brewing spirit tea for him.

It was clear this was not your normal spirit tea.

Blood essence, Solomon’s seal, spirit dates, wolfberries, and other precious herbs were added to the tea. The herbs were all at least a thousand years old and extremely valuable.

“Senior Brother, that fellow Qi Shaoxuan has been going around challenging others. So arrogant!”

“He has challenged all the prodigies from the younger generation, including Nascent Soul cultivators. He really thinks he is the uncrowned king!”

“That’s right. If not for our Senior Brother’s weak body, there’s no way this fellow can claim to be Eastern Wilderness’ No.1 Golden Core cultivator!”

“Senior Brother Shenxu, drink more Five Treasures Tea later to improve your vigor. Kill this fellow if he dares to challenge us!”

The white-clad man didn’t know whether to laugh or cry on hearing the indignant complaints of his four junior sisters.

His junior sisters were so bad-tempered and impulsive!

Asking him to use the Great Void Sutra to kill that fellow? It was his own lifespan that would be shortened, not theirs!

After taking a small sip of tea, Wang Shenxu said in exasperation, “My four Junior Sisters, please calm down. It is vital to maintain peace and harmony.”

The four white-clad ladies huffed. “Senior Brother, can’t you be tougher? He is nearly riding upon our heads now. Do you want to wait until he is shitting upon our heads before killing him?”

Wang Shenxu, “...”

What’s up with the parents of these four junior sisters? They were no demure maidens!

Wang Shenxu said in exasperation, “My four Junior Sisters, but Qi Shaoxuan has not challenged me!”

The moment he completed his sentence, a disciple respectfully entered the Saint Temple. He gazed at Wang Shenxu with envious eyes.

Being attended by these four beautiful sisters every day—the life of a Saint was so envy-inducing!

But it didn’t matter how much he envied Wang Shenxu, he was just a messenger boy.

The disciple presented a declaration of war. He held it out respectfully with both hands. “Senior Brother Saint, the Purple Mansion Saint, Qi Shaoxuan, has sent you a declaration of war.”

The side table in front of Wang Shenxu was suddenly smashed to bits as angry voices resonated throughout the temple.

“He really dared to challenge us! Is the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground so great now? Senior Brother, kill him!”

“How dare he bully our Senior Brother despite his weak body? Does he think Senior Brother is afraid of death?”

“Senior Brother, destroy that Qi Shaoxuan. At most, we will take care of you in your old age!”

“The reputation of our Great Void Sacred Ground cannot be blasphemed in this manner. War!”

Sweat sprung up on Wang Shenxu’s forehead as he felt the rage of the four ladies behind him.

He was helpless before the fiery tempers of these four junior sisters!

Why do the prodigies in the Eastern Wilderness love fighting and killing so much? Couldn’t they just live good, honest lives?

Kill Qi Shaoxuan? Take care of me in my old age? I am just in my 20s!

I have not even been matchmade yet. Take care of me? Who are you trying to bluff!

Never mind, I will think of a way to escape later!

Mmm, I will have to bring more rejuvenating tea with me.

Even if I can only prolong my life for two additional years, it will be worth it.

...

Even as a storm brewed in the outside world, Shen Tian and his group continued to focus on their simple and enriching experiential journey.

At this point, the group had already delved 900 miles into the Primordial Battlefield.

Over here, the ground was dyed a dark red. Now and then, they would meet with Golden Core soulless creatures, like Bone Demons, Blood Demons, and Fiendish Demons.

But these soulless creatures were defenseless against Shen Tian’s super-powered group.

After boosting their levels with the Nirvana Holy Liquid, Dragon Blood Grass, and Sword Heart Fruit, every single person by Shen Tian’s side managed to increase their powers by leaps and bounds.

Even the weakest Shen Ao had managed to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. On top of that, he had an extremely solid foundation.

Thirteenth Brother has really given us so many goodies!

Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, and the others had also become rather formidable.

With the bunch of them coordinating their attacks, they could very quickly suppress and kill a Golden Core soulless creature.

With this type of battle prowess, they would be considered prodigies amongst the Foundation Establishment cultivators anywhere in the sacred grounds, blessed-lands, and grotto-heavens.

They killed as they journeyed.

Now and then, they would encounter over a dozen Golden Core soulless creatures at once. This, they would leave to Kong Meng and Shen Tian to handle.

It must be said that Kong Meng’s Rainbow Divine Light had reached insurmountable heights after receiving the power source of that peacock ancestor. Even though she had been suppressed to a Foundation Establishment level in this battlefield, she could already more or less take down a Nascent Soul Blood Demon.

Golden Core soulless creatures were just a piece of cake for her. They could be annihilated with just one flash of her Rainbow Divine Light.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian was being more experimental. He was trying out merging the Five Elements Divine Light techniques with his Divine Sword Constitution.

He could shoot out Divine Light Sword Aura with just one glare at those soulless creatures. With another glare, the sword aura would turn into Li Fire Lightning Sword Aura.

Although the attacking power was still not that great, Shen Tian felt he was progressing in the right direction. Given enough time, he might be able to create a new “Death Stare” sword technique in the future.

...

After this fulfilling monster-fighting journey, the group arrived at an area amongst a mountain range.

Shen Tian glanced at the space above Zhao Hao’s head before turning to look at Kong Meng’s. He was more or less certain this was the correct place.

Kong Meng was indeed the holder of a purple-gold halo.

In this battlefield, Zhao Hao and Jin Yu each had a fortuitous opportunity appearing above their heads.

But Kong Meng had two fortuitous opportunities forming above her head. Not only that, but they also coincided with Zhao Hao and Jin Yu’s. She was truly blessed by the heavens.

“My sense of this fortuitous opportunity is becoming increasingly stronger. If I am not wrong, it should be somewhere in this mountain range!”

Shen Tian took a deep breath and held his Jade Water Sword in hand.

“Everyone, be careful.”

The group became vigilant after Shen Tian’s caution.

But Jin Yu pursed his lips.

This place is 500 miles from the Blood Demon Valley. You could sense a fortuitous opportunity all the way here?

Ridiculous. Are you trying to hoodwink us? Do you think I am stupid?

Of course, Jin Yu uttered all those words in his heart. He did not dare to speak them out loud. After all, since he was by Shen Tian’s side now, he had to show him some respect.

The group walked along the range and circled around a mountain.

A towering, massive purple pagoda gradually appeared before them.

The pagoda was completely purple in color, with pink clouds swirling around it. It gave off an ethereal look.

The strange thing was that the entire pagoda was covered in blood-red cracks from top to bottom.

They looked like demonic patterns, making one’s heart tremble.

From somewhere in the air, the faint sounds of demons and deities battling, weapons clashing, and the thick stench of blood and murder surged toward them.

Suddenly, the group saw a terrifying illusion.

It was a magnificent battlefield. Gigantic, bloody dragons fell from the sky, winged deities were torn apart, the crumbling statue of a golden Buddha...

The thick smell of blood permeated the area as countless cracks appeared, shooting out pitch-black turbulent waves.

Dong!

The sound of a bell suddenly rang out.

The entire illusion disappeared, and everyone snapped out of their trance.

Kong Meng gazed at the massive pagoda with lingering fear. “This is THAT pagoda.”

Shen Ao scratched his head. “What do you mean?”

Qin Yundi took a deep breath. “Tens of thousands of feet high, purple, covered in cracks. It is the legendary Celestial World Pagoda.”

Upon looking at the puzzled faces of Shen Ao, Song Fugui, and the rest, Qin Yundi explained, “It is rumored that this pagoda fell from the empty sky during the final phase of that ancient battlefield.

“When this pagoda appeared, it was already covered in cracks and looked like it would crumble anytime. But looks like it is still standing even after 10,000 years.”

Shen Ao asked, “Has no one tried collecting it?”

Qin Yundi replied, “The deities from that time tried to forcibly collect this pagoda, but were instead sucked in by it and burned to death. It was a tremendous shock to the five regions.

“From then on, no one dared to try again.

“Although there is no way to collect this pagoda, it remains one of the most precious fortuitous opportunities in the battlefield!”

Qin Yundi’s eyes were ablaze. “Senior Brother is indeed the Son of Providence. You managed to find it!

“Looks like Senior Brother is fated with this pagoda. Perhaps...

“You can try to collect it!”
