n

n

nShen Tian was very pleased to see so many talented geniuses appearing in the five regions.

nGiven their talent, it wouldn’t take long for them to grow.

n

n

nAt that time, they could contribute to the five regions and resist the Evil Spirits together.

nHowever, right at this moment, Shen Tian’s body trembled slightly.

nHe suddenly felt an extremely intimate and blood-related aura.

n“This aura?”

n

n

nShen Tian’s gaze shifted as he surveyed his surroundings before finally focusing on the Divine Firmament Saint. He could feel that this boy’s bloodline aura was very similar to his. It felt like they came from the same source.

nShen Tian’s eyes burned as he asked, “Senior Brother, what is the name of this generation’s Divine Firmament Saint?”

nHe focused on the Divine Firmament Saint, and the light in his eyes turned increasingly resplendent.

nZhang Yunting smiled and said, “This generation’s Saint is closely related to Junior Brother! To be precise, this kid is Junior Brother’s nephew!”

n

n

nShen Tian was slightly stunned. Where did this nephew come from?

nBut then he realized that it had been 180 years. His cheap brothers must have gotten married and had children.

nAs the Thirteenth Prince of the Country of Fire, Shen Tian naturally had 12 elder brothers.

nHowever, he did not know which royal brother’s son this person was. He had even joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground as the Saint of this generation!

nZhang Yunting explained, “This generation’s Divine Firmament Saint is called Shen Youtian and is Brother Shen Ao’s biological son.”

nShen Tian was relieved. Among the 12 royal brothers, only Shen Ao had a high cultivation talent.

n

n

nMoreover, Shen Tian had gifted the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to Shen Ao.

nAfter undergoing the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill’s transformation, Shen Ao’s physique and talent had undergone a tremendous transformation.

nAs a result, his son had also absorbed some of the effects of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, which explained why his talent was astonishing.

nZhang Yunting smiled and said, “When Shen Youtian came into the world, Brother Shen Ao put in a lot of effort to name him. In the end, he named him Shen Youtian to bless Junior Brother’s safe return.”

nYoutian, Youtian. The meaning behind this name was to hope for the heavens, ‘tian’, to bless Shen Tian.

nShen Ao had been extremely worried during Shen Tian’s disappearance and hoped that Shen Tian could return safely.

nThis was how the name of his son had come about!

nShen Tian was astonished and sighed inwardly.

n

n

nSo it’s Sixth Brother’s son!

nWho would have thought that he would have already become an uncle?

nThings were the same, but people had changed.

nI didn’t expect Sixth Brother to be so concerned about me, always thinking about me.

nHow heartwarming!

n…

nZhang Yunting smiled. “Shen Youtian is extremely talented. He has the Divine Pure Body, his talents are top-notch, and his battle prowess is unparalleled. His cultivation speed is extremely fast, and it can be said that he progressed at a tremendous pace.

n“Youtian can be said to be the person with the greatest talent apart from Junior Brother!”

nZhang Yunting was also delighted. Shen Youtian was the current Divine Firmament Saint.

nThe stronger his talent was, the better it was for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

nShen Tian nodded with a smile.

nSince he was his nephew, he should greet him. He stretched out his hand and released an immeasurable power, grabbing toward Shen Youtian.

nAn invisible hand condensed in the void, pulling Shen Youtian up to the second floor of the Copper Sparrow Pavilion.

n

n

nShen Youtian was dumbfounded. He was originally enjoying the cheers of the crowd on the stage when an irresistible force suddenly swept over. Before he could react, he was sucked away.

nShen Youtian suddenly panicked as he mumbled.

n“What’s going on? Could it be that some peerless old witch has set her eyes on this Saint’s peerless looks and wants to take me for herself?

n“No way! No way! No way!

n“Could I really be that unlucky?

n“This Saint is still young and cannot do such a thing!

n“Oh!

n“But if she’s good-looking, I might consider it!”

n“…”

nUpon hearing this, everyone’s faces darkened.

nWhat was this kid thinking all day long?

nWhat nonsense!

nShen Tian’s lips twitched. He hadn’t expected Shen Youtian to have such thoughts. It looked like this kid had been led astray by someone!

nShen Tian looked around, his gaze sharp and filled with warning. He wanted to see who had led Shen Youtian astray.

nThis kid is still a child!

nWang Shenxu silently turned his back and turned his head to the side. He muttered softly, “Can’t see me, can’t see me!”

n…

nForget it. No matter what, this kid is still my nephew.

nIf the child has been led astray, then he should be corrected.

nAt that thought, Shen Tian walked toward Shen Youtian.

nShen Youtian was still in a daze. When he saw Zhang Yunting and the others, he heaved a sigh of relief.

n“So it’s Elder Yunting!

n“You don’t have to do this. You can just call me up next time. This just makes me panic!”

nShen Youtian was still nagging, but when he saw Shen Tian suddenly appear in front of him, he froze on the spot.

n“You…”

nShen Youtian’s eyes were dazed and filled with disbelief.

nShen Tian smiled and kindly said, “Child, I’m your Thirteenth Uncle!”

nBoom!

nWaves immediately surged in Shen Youtian’s heart as his thoughts rapidly changed.

nConfusion, astonishment, calmness, surprise, shock…

nShen Youtian’s expression changed rapidly.

nSoon, Shen Youtian’s body trembled violently, and he was filled with excitement. “Thirteenth Uncle, you’re definitely Thirteenth Uncle.

n“Only Thirteenth Uncle’s looks can be better than mine!”

nShen Tian, “…”

nEveryone, “???”

nYou are too narcissistic!

nHow can you be so thick-skinned to say such things!?

nIt is fine if you said that Brother Shen was more handsome than you. There is no doubt about that. Even without you saying it, we already know that for a fact!

nBut other than Brother Shen, no one else is as handsome as you?

nYou must be joking!

nI, Wang Shenxu, am the first to be unconvinced!

nI, Kuduo, am the second!

nI, Yun Yuede, am the third!

nFourth, fifth, sixth…

nIn the end, everyone gave up.

nIn terms of looks, they were indeed slightly worse than Shen Youtian.

nShen Youtian’s physique was the Divine Pure Body that the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill had baptized.

nThis type of divine body was an innate constitution. It allowed one to be born innately spotless and untainted by worldly filth.

nShen Youtian, who possessed the Divine Pure Body, had a body that was wreathed in divine light. It was crystal clear and far superior to ordinary people. His appearance was indeed top-notch. He could charm a large number of fairies with his appearance.

nOf course, that would depend on who he stood with.

nIf a handsome man stood with a group of ugly people, that handsome man would naturally be charming.

nHowever, no matter how handsome a person was, they would all pale in comparison when standing next to Shen Tian!

nShen Youtian knew this very well!

nAfter seeing Shen Tian, Shen Youtian was convinced that he was his Thirteenth Uncle.

nAfter all, only Shen Tian had such peerless looks.

nOnly his Thirteenth Uncle could be so heroic.

nShen Youtian’s eyes burned with excitement. “Thirteenth Uncle, you’re finally back! You are my idol. I grew up listening to your stories.”

nShen Tian’s name had already spread throughout the five regions and had been passed down for many years, creating countless legends.

nUntil now, no one had been able to match up to Shen Tian’s accomplishments.

nThey were unmatched contributions that were obtained through brute force, and no one was able to match them.

nAs Shen Ao’s son, Shen Youtian had heard of Shen Tian’s heroic deeds since he was young.

nEven his father, Shen Ao, would lament Shen Tian’s strength from time to time. He was the Thirteenth Brother he respected the most.

nSubconsciously, Shen Youtian was filled with curiosity toward this Thirteenth Uncle whom he had never met before.

nIt was only after he joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground that he realized that Shen Tian was even more powerful than the rumors.

nThe Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s development was all thanks to Shen Tian. He was the one who had led the sacred ground to its peak.

nShen Tian had long been hailed as a god by the Divine Firmament disciples and was deeply rooted in their hearts.

nTherefore, Shen Youtian was determined to follow Shen Tian’s footsteps and walk the path of invincibility from 180 years ago.

nAnd, of course, he did manage to do so.

nAlthough Shen Youtian was not as freakish as Shen Tian, he was similarly invincible among his peers and had successfully become the Divine Firmament Saint.

nNow that his idol had appeared before him, how could he not be excited?

nShen Tian nodded with a smile. Although this brat was a little strange, he was neither servile nor overbearing. He was valiant and quite likable.

n“Youtian, it’s our first time meeting. Thirteenth Uncle will give you some greeting gifts.”

nShen Tian waved his hand, and two supreme treasures instantly appeared.

nMulticolored light swirled about. It was incomparably dazzling, erupting with powerful holy might, their aura boundless.

nThen, two artifacts surrounded by dazzling divine light appeared before Shen Youtian.

nOne of them was the Longyuan Divine Armor, a defensive artifact that the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader had given him back then.

nNow, it was perfectly justifiable for him to give it to the current Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Youtian.

nThe other was the Purple-Green Double Swords.

nThis was also an artifact with extremely powerful offensive capabilities. It was a sword that was carefully nurtured by a peerless Sword Sage in the ancient battlefield 10,000 years ago.

nAlthough Shen Youtian had entered the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he had also cultivated sword skills with Shen Ao.

nFrom the resplendent sword qi emitted from his body, it could be seen that this boy’s Sword Dao cultivation was not weak either.

nAs a result, Shen Tian had chosen to give the twin swords to him.

nThe Purple-Green Double Swords and the Longyuan Divine Armor were both Sage artifacts.

nWhen used together, the prowess one could display was excellent!

nAs his strength increased, Sage artifacts were no longer of much use to Shen Tian.

nAs the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Youtian indeed needed to equip himself well. Only then would it match his status.

nAfter all, he was his own nephew. He had to take good care of him.

n…

n“Thank you, Thirteenth Uncle!”

nShen Youtian was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed respectfully.

nHe was extremely excited.

nThese are Sage artifacts! And they’re even Thirteenth Uncle’s famous treasures!

nEven Father wouldn’t be able to take out such a valuable treasure!

nAs expected of Thirteenth Uncle, he is so generous.

nHehe, I am truly fortunate!

n…

nShen Tian said solemnly, “Youtian since you are the Divine Firmament Saint, you have to shoulder the responsibility and be responsible for protecting the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!”

nThe Divine Firmament Saint was not only a title but also a responsibility.

nShen Youtian nodded and said firmly, “Youtian knows. I will defend the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to death!”

nShen Tian nodded slightly, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

nHe seemed to have seen his own shadow in Shen Youtian.

n…

nAt this moment, another nine figures flew over.

nThey were all prodigies of the younger generation and were only in their 20s. Their auras were extremely powerful.

nThese people were dressed in the core disciple robes of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. They were the other nine Divine Firmament prodigies.

nThe moment they saw Shen Tian, they hurriedly knelt on one knee and respectfully greeted. “Greetings, Sacred Leader!”

nShen Tian froze, confused.

nDivine Firmament Sacred Leader? Was his Master here?

nShen Tian looked around but didn’t see Zhang Longyuan.

nZhang Yunting smiled and explained, “Father announced it to the public 80 years ago. The day Junior Brother returns will be the day you become the new Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!”

nShen Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. His Master was simply not even giving him a chance to reject!

nShen Tian didn’t intend to refuse, nonetheless.

nAs the former Divine Firmament Saint, he still had feelings for the sacred ground and a strong sense of belonging.

nMoreover, everyone had unanimously requested it, so he couldn’t refuse.

nThere was no harm in holding the position of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. Instead, there were many benefits.

nAfter all, the position of a Sacred Leader symbolized the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s prestige. Most of the sacred ground’s resources could be provided for his cultivation to enhance his strength.

nThe two were like one, sharing both honor and disgrace.

nThe corners of Shen Tian’s lips turned up at that thought. “Everyone, please rise!”

nA gentle force surged with a wave of his hand and lifted the nine Divine Firmament prodigies.

nShen Tian then took out nine other Sage artifacts and handed them to the Divine Firmament prodigies. “I will also give you people some greeting gifts. I hope that all of you will focus on your cultivation and strive to contribute to the sacred ground!”

nThese people were Divine Firmament disciples, and they were the most talented elites.

nShen Tian naturally wouldn’t be stingy with them.

nThe key was that the Sage artifacts in his little treasury were all counted in baskets. There were many of them, but they were not very useful.

nEven if he took out nine at once, Shen Tian wouldn’t feel the pinch.

nSince they could be used to raise the strength of Divine Firmament disciples, he felt that it was much better to give them out instead.

nThe Divine Firmament prodigies received the Sage artifacts with excitement. They said gratefully, “Yes, thank you, Sacred Leader!”

nSage artifacts weren’t much to Shen Tian, but they were supreme treasures to these young geniuses!

nAfter all, very few sacred grounds would give Sage artifacts to their juniors.

nThe main thing was that Sage artifacts were really too precious. Even sacred grounds would not casually give them away.

nSecondly, given the juniors’ strength, they might not be able to fully utilize the effects of the Sage artifacts.

nHowever, Shen Tian had too many Sage artifacts, so he didn’t care.

nAlthough they were unable to use the Sage artifacts to their full potential, at least they had an additional life-saving artifact.

nThey were all his children, so he naturally had to pamper them.

nShen Tian didn’t care, but it didn’t mean others didn’t.

nThe nine Divine Firmament prodigies, who had obtained the Sage artifacts, were extremely excited.

nTheir respect for Shen Tian was like a torrential river that flowed endlessly!

n…

nUpon seeing this scene, all the paragons were shocked.

nTheir eyes were shining with envy!

nWhich Sacred Ground’s Sacred Leader would be so generous?

nGiving a Sage artifact on their first meeting?

nIt was one thing to gift one or two, but to gift more than ten?

nThis generation’s Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was truly domineering.

nThe Divine Firmament disciples were too blessed to have such a sacred leader!

n…

nAt that moment, another figure arrived on a divine rainbow.

nIn an instant, a violent wind howled, its aura oppressive, like a huge wave that reached the heavens.

nWhen ordinary geniuses sensed this aura, their faces turned pale, and their bodies couldn’t help but tremble and go soft, almost collapsing onto the ground.

nEven Shen Youtian and the other elite prodigies wore grave expressions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

nThis person was definitely a formidable opponent that could not be ignored!

nThe divine light was retracted, and the person who came was a charming young girl.

nThis woman wore a long white dress, and her appearance was peerlessly beautiful. She was like a celestial maiden that left others in the dust.

nHer eyes were as bright and resplendent as the sea of stars, and her skin was as clear and translucent as fine jade.

nThe most magical thing was that there was a pair of young and tender black dragon horns on the girl’s head that flickered with endless divine light.

nHowever, a pair of dazzling phoenix wings appeared behind her, sweeping up gusts of wind as they flapped.

nThis woman stood in midair like a supreme goddess that stood aloof from the world, and her bearing was cold and arrogant, causing others to be unable to approach her.

nAll of the prodigies’ eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this. “It’s the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden?”

n“She’s the most mysterious Dragon-Phoenix Maiden of North Sea?”

n“Rumor has it that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden’s strength is unmatched. Now that I’ve seen her, she is indeed extraordinary!”

n“This aura, she must have transcended the tribulation to become a Sage!”

nEveryone’s eyes were filled with deep shock.

nThe Dragon-Phoenix Maiden could be said to have a great reputation that shook the five regions.

nShe had come into being 100 years ago and reigned supreme in the North Sea. She was invincible throughout the world and left others in the dust.

nAt that time, she had only been 21 years old and had already become a Demon Venerable.

nNow that 100 years had passed, no one knew how astonishing the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden’s battle prowess was.

nHer aura alone was no weaker than the geniuses of the older generation.

nAnd that was not the main point.

nIt was rumored that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden’s identity was extremely mysterious, and no one knew her true origins.

nHowever, some people had heard that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden had an extremely high status in Black Dragon Island.

nThe current Black Dragon King, Ao Wu, was extremely respectful toward her.

nYes!

nThe Black Dragon King had to be very careful when meeting this lady for fear of angering her!

nTherefore, everyone was guessing if Ao Xue was the daughter of some old antique on Black Dragon Island. That was why her status was so high.

n…

nThe moment the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden appeared, she walked straight toward Shen Tian.

nHer tone was cold, and she looked unfriendly. “They all have a gift. Where is my gift?”

nEveryone, “???”

nEveryone was dumbstruck and puzzled.

nShen Tian was the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, so it was only right for him to give a greeting gift to a Divine Firmament disciple.

nWhat did he have to do with the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden?

nMore importantly, the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden was actually asking Shen Tian for a gift?

nThey had never heard of a relationship between the current Dragon-Phoenix Maiden and Shen Tian.

nOr could it be that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden wanted to extort him?

nTssss~

nThis lady was too daring!

nYou can blackmail anyone, but you want to extort this generation’s Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Shen Tian?

nThis lord had been able to hammer a Great Sage 180 years ago, and his battle prowess was unparalleled.

nAlthough he had disappeared for more than 100 years, his strength would only increase and not decrease.

nNo matter how high the status of the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden was, she could not offend this generation’s Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!

nAre you really not afraid of being spanked!?

n…

nHowever, Shen Tian didn’t mind her rudeness.

nHis body trembled, and his expression changed slightly.

nThat was because he realized that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden also had a bloodline connection with him, and it was even stronger than that of Shen Youtian’s.

nThis bloodline aura was passed down from generation to generation and was extremely intimate.

nFor a moment, Shen Tian stood rooted to the ground in confusion!

nAs if noticing Shen Tian’s strange reaction, Ao Xue indifferently transmitted her voice. “My mother is Ao Bing, and my real name is Shen Aoxue!”

nShen Tian began to buzz with excitement.

n…

nWhat happened?

nWhat the…

nDidn’t I only sleep with Ao Bing once?’

nOne shot was enough to do the job!?

nShen Tian scratched his head. He didn’t expect that after he had been in seclusion for 180 years, not only would he have a nephew, but he would also have a 100-year-old daughter!?

nThe world has changed too quickly!

nI, Shen Tian, am still a child!

n
