nThe Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader used his mystic art and made a portal out of thin air.

nShen Tian followed behind him, and both of them disappeared from White Lotus Mountain.

n

nWhen Shen Tian opened his eyes, they were at the Sacred Leader Palace on Sacred Leader Mountain.

nThe Sacred Leader sat on the throne and looked at Shen Tian, his heavenly aura on the surface flickering.

nShen Tian had done great today, and even though the Sacred Leader had severed his emotions, he still felt very proud of him.

nHe felt especially good when he saw how Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus reacted.

n

nHe’s the one who doubted my choice of person in the first place! Now he has missed the chance to have the Heavenly Dao’s Son as his disciple. He must be so regretful!

nCough, cough… That’s not important. I still have important stuff now.

nHe forced his heavenly aura to calm down and said, “I’m very pleased.

n“Tian’er, not only do you have great providence, but you also have the heart to share it with others.

n

n“I was right all this while. You are the most suitable candidate for being the Saint.”

nShen Tian scratched his head and could not understand what the Sacred Leader was trying to say.

nWhat do you mean by that?

nI’m the Saint because your daughter brought me here by force, remember? Unlike others who became your disciples and then the Saint, I’m the opposite!

nI became the Saint first before you took me in as your disciple. How did it become you chose me to be the Saint?

nAlso, why would Master think I’m blessed by providence? I was the most unlucky guy ever just a few weeks ago!

n

nEven now, my halo is just a green one with red spots. That’s far from the Son of Providence!

nShen Tian explained, “All thanks to Master’s teaching.”

nThe Sacred Leader was happier after hearing the response.

nA handsome young man that is not arrogant! He is the perfect facade for the sacred ground. Lord Tianxiu, you must be so jealous now!

nThe Sacred Leader nodded in response. “Tian’er, you have brought us the Nirvana Holy Liquid and saved Fang Chang. Those are great contributions to the sacred ground. I’m a very fair person. What do you want as a reward? You can say it out with no hesitation.”

nShen Tian’s eyes lit up. Master is rewarding me? How can I just take it!

nHe thought for a moment and said, “Master, can I have some Immortal Metal? If Immortal Metal is not available, I’m fine with Mystic Earth too. I’m not very picky.”

nThe lightning and heavenly aura surrounding the Sacred Leader started to flicker again. The bold request made him feel very helpless. All the items on the extraordinary list were very precious. These were treasures that cultivators could only obtain by luck.

n

nAlthough the Nirvana Holy Liquid was precious, too, it was merely a consumable item. There was no comparison with extraordinary items.

nOf course, if the Sacred Leader had the Immortal Metal or Mystic Earth, he would be more than willing to give them to Shen Tian.

nHowever, he did not have any of them.

nThe truth was that when the sacred ground obtained these extraordinary items, the items would be used by the talented geniuses straight away.

nAlthough a Grand Elder had some Mystic Earth with him, there was no way for the Sacred Leader to go against his own family for that treasure!

nThe Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian, feeling very helpless. He knew that these were the items Shen Tian needed to complete the set of Five Elements extraordinary items.

nAs his master, he felt very embarrassed for not being able to help his disciple.

nWhy isn’t it fire that Tian’er needs…

nIf he needs fire, I can just trick Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus for it! I just need some Azure Green Sky Flame Origin to solve the issue!

nThe Sacred Leader calmed himself down and coughed. “Erm, I’ll give them to you once they are available.”

nShen Tian had a high EQ—’once they are available’ meant that his master did not have them for now.

nShen Tian decided not to give his master a hard time and said, “I shall thank Master in advance!”

nThe Sacred Leader felt his cheeks were burning with embarrassment, “Is there anything you want? I’ll provide whatever I can!”

n

nIndeed, there was nothing the Sacred Leader was reluctant to give Shen Tian after believing he was the Heavenly Dao’s Son.

nHe was even prepared to marry his daughter to him and hand him the sacred ground. An extraordinary item was really nothing compared to that!

nHowever, as the sacred ground’s Sacred Leader, he felt bad for not being able to give merit to his disciple!

nShen Tian thought for a moment and felt that his self-protection methods were not strong enough—he needed some upgrade.

nThus, he took out his Sword Master Token and showed it to the Sacred Leader.

n“Master, this is the Sword Master Token made by Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan. It is really useful. May I know if there’s anything similar to this in our sacred ground? I don’t mind paying for it.”

nThe Sacred Leader took a look at it and said calmly, “Although this Sword Master Token is well crafted, the attack it unleashes is too weak. I can seal three moves into your Saint Token, but each move can only be utilized once. Using external help too often is not good for you anyway.”

nShen Tian was very happy to hear that. “Thank you, Master! How strong are these three attacks?”

n“No one below the Saint realm can survive these.”

nWow, that sounds good! That’s so strong! I like it!

nAlthough it cannot be used repeatedly, like the Sword Master Token, it’s much more useful!

nThe Sword Master Token was literally useless when the opponents were too strong. But the three moves sealed in the Saint Token were like a nuclear weapon! Even Soul Formation cultivators were no match for it!

n

nSeems like I made a wise choice coming to the sacred ground!

nThe Saint’s Token flew out of Shen Tian’s pocket and landed on the Sacred Leader’s hand. The lightning and heavenly aura around him became a golden light and dived into the token.

nAs more of this golden light gushed into the Saint Token, three emblems appeared on it. There was a mysterious feeling about the emblems, and they looked extremely powerful.

nThe light slowly dimmed, and the token flew back to Shen Tian’s hand. It felt slightly heavier.

nThe lightning and heavenly aura seemed much thinner. Obviously, the Sacred Leader had spent great effort to help Shen Tian.

nShen Tian quickly took a Nirvana Holy Liquid bottle out of his Archeon Sea Ring and said, “Master has used so much power just to help me, I feel bad. I hope you can have this Nirvana Holy Liquid to replenish your strength. I cannot have a peaceful sleep if Master refuses.”

nThe Sacred Leader felt slightly touched and said, “Don’t be silly. There is no need for that. You have given enough holy liquid to the sacred ground. Keep this for yourself!

n“Actually, I have an important thing I need to discuss with you today.”

nShen Tian had just gotten the reward from his master, so he replied without hesitation, “Master, I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.”

nThe Sacred Leader said calmly, “After ten days, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Jade Lake Sacred Ground will be having a joint training.

n

n“The location of the joint training is the Primordial Battlefield near the Country of Fire. All the cultivators participating will be below the Golden Core stage. Thus, Fang Chang, Yunting, and Yunxi cannot participate.

n“Tian’er, I hope you can lead the disciples and perform well in the joint training. It doesn’t matter to me how many fortuitous opportunities you guys manage to encounter. All I care about is the disciples’ safety.”

nThe Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian and said solemnly, “I’ll leave those disciples in your hands.”

nShen Tian felt that he had been tricked into this troublesome situation.

nPrimordial Battlefield? The one created by the evil cultivators from outside the country?

nIt was said that even Perfected Immortals had been involved in the battle.

nAfter the intense battle, the Primordial Battlefield was formed.

nMany bold cultivators would enter the battlefield and tried to find fortuitous opportunities for themselves.

nIn the end, no one ever returned. All of them became nutrients for that area.

n…

n

nShen Tian felt that something would go terribly wrong if he led the disciples there.

nMy halo is just a green one with red spots. It’s not safe at all!

nAlso, can’t the joint training be at a safer place?

nI think the Mirror Moon Lake near the sacred ground is good!

nWhy don’t we go there instead?

nCan we not go to that dreadful place?

nHonestly, after encountering the Fog Plain incident, Shen Tian had decided to be extra cautious.

nHe only had one life, and he could not afford to risk it like the cultivators with great providence. If he tried to mimic them, he would simply just lose his life!

nThus, Shen Tian really wanted to tell the truth to his master.

nMaster, I can’t! I’m really not the Son of Providence!
