I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 431: Shen Tian? Shi Tianzi?

Listening to the surrounding geniuses’ praise, Shen Tian began to doubt his life!

Suddenly, multicolored light flickered within the Grotto-Heaven Small World. Dazzling natural laws descended from the sky.

A figure descended from the sky and strode through the sky while standing atop a dazzling divine rainbow.

Every step he took caused space to shatter and collapse into ruins.

This person looked to be in his 20s. His white clothes were like snow, and he looked like an otherworldly immortal.

His figure was tall and straight, and mysterious symbols were flickering within his pupils. He towered in the void, his aura incomparably domineering as if he was a young God of War descending into this world.

Among the Middle Ground heavenly talents, there was no lack of people who had seen this male before. Right now, they all released sighs of admiration.

“It’s him, Shi Tianzi!”

“To think that this young supreme paragon actually appeared!”

Shi Tianzi stood proudly in the void. The peerless Thearch Bone in his chest was emitting divine light, and his aura was overwhelming.

Terrifying, powerful, and dazzling!

This was the feeling Shi Tianzi gave everyone.

When this person appeared, everyone would tremble wherever his aura swept.

The double pupils in his eyes flickered, producing endless profound mysteries as if they contained the world’s most profound truths!

The Thearch Bone in his chest released endless pressure as if a young great emperor had appeared out of nowhere, making one shiver with fear!

Some of the weaker geniuses couldn’t help but collapse to the ground.

“Why has Prince Shi Tianzi come here?”

There were some who were shocked. Even though Shi Tianzi was also a new student, his status was comparable to a portion of the instructors.

Before joining Jixia Academy, he had followed Great Thearch Huang Shi to cultivate, and his strength was on a completely different level from the other new students.

There was absolutely no need for such a figure to come to the newbie world!

…

Suddenly, Shi Tianzi moved. His white robes fluttered as he strolled towards the 1st Spirit Mountain.

A brilliant divine light swept out behind him. The laws of the world shook, and the void violently trembled and shattered.

“I understand!”

“The prince wants to challenge the 1st Spirit Mountain?”

“I never thought that this peerless genius would challenge the 1st Spirit Mountain!”

That was the strongest spiritual mountain in the small world. It required the power of a Four Tribulation True Sage to break through it!

However, the news had spread that Shi Tianzi had killed a True Sage from the Evil Spirit Sect, and he was extremely powerful!

Given Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to take down 1st Spirit Mountain.

Many people thought of Shen Tian and couldn’t help comparing the two.

“The Divine Firmament Saint only used seven moves to destroy the 2nd Spirit Mountain. His combat strength is comparable to a peak Heavenly Venerable!”

“I wonder how many moves it will take for Prince Tianzi to take down 1st Spirit Mountain.”

Everyone became curious. They wanted to see who was stronger between Shi Tianzi and the Divine Firmament Saint.

One of them was a young paragon who was hailed as a peerless talent and whose cultivation base was at the True Sage stage!

The other was the Divine Firmament Saint, who was said to have crushed a Six Tribulation True Sage with a hammer!

How could the elites not look forward to such an amazing battle between two elites?

The gazes of everyone converged onto the figure in the sky.

Shi Tianzi finally made his move. He brandished his fist with his bare hands and shot straight into 1st Spirit Mountain.

A terrifying aura erupted from the fist’s radiance as the laws of destruction and creation could be seen manifested in it.

With a punch, the nine heavens resonated.

The fist light spread out for three thousand miles, shattering the endless void into powder.

Crash!

A loud explosion could be heard!

A huge fist shadow struck the 1st Spirit Mountain.

Instantly, countless restrictions shattered, and multicolored light overflowed, causing the world to tremble!

With just a single punch, he had almost caused the restrictions of 1st Spirit Mountain to crumble completely. The power of that punch was terrifying.

However, the 1st Spirit Mountain was extraordinary. Divine light soared into the sky and formed countless nomological arrays that fell from the sky.

This was a formation designed and created by a supreme powerhouse. Even a Four Tribulation True Sage could not break it easily!

Dazzling divine light filled the 1st Spirit Mountain. It looked glorious and sacred as if it was indestructible!

“Humph!”

Shi Tianzi let out a cold harrumph and stepped forward once again, his aura sweeping across the heavens and earth!

The Thearch Bone in front of his chest lit up. An incomparably terrifying strength erupted from the Thearch Bone.

Terrifying divine might surged out like raging waves, making his aura become even more terrifying as if a peerless emperor descended into the mortal world.

Divine light lingered around Shi Tianzi’s hand as an invincible aura exploded forth!

He let out the Fist of Calamity, which seemed to shake the world.

The sun and moon seemed to dim down, and it seemed as if everything was about to be completely shattered by the boundless fist!

With the augmentation of the Thearch Bone, Shi Tianzi’s attacks were unstoppable!

The countless barriers were instantly destroyed!

Crash!

Crash!

Shi Tianzi struck out once more, punching out twice toward the 1st Spirit Mountain.

The sound was like a thunderclap that caused one’s heart to shake greatly, and it was as if one’s heart had exploded.

The faces of the prodigies with weaker cultivations turned pale from the power that had leaked out from the punch, and their bodies collapsed onto the ground.

It was too scary!

Just the residual power was enough to make people shudder.

If one were to face it head-on, even an ordinary Sage might not be able to withstand it and would be smashed to death with a single punch!

Under Shi Tianzi’s incomparably tyrannical attacks, even the 1st Spirit Mountain couldn’t withstand it. Endless laws were shattered, and the chains of order were crushed into powder. The divine light completely dimmed!

Boom!

A loud sound of explosion resounded!

The strongest Spirit Mountain was finally broken through!

All of the paragons were dazzled by this sight, and their hearts trembled.

Shi Tianzi’s battle prowess was too terrifying. He had managed to destroy the 1st Spirit Mountain in merely three moves?

Furthermore, without using any weapons, his strength was comparable to a Fou Tribulation True Sage?

Who knew how mighty Shi Tianzi’s true strength was?

Could his true strength be comparable to that of a Five Tribulation True Sage? Or an even stronger Six Tribulation True Sage?

He was too terrifying!

As expected of the renowned paragon, such battle prowess was indeed unparalleled!

Everyone was stunned by the figure in the air.

However, Shi Tianzi’s expression did not change at all after blasting apart Spirit Mountain.

He ignored the 1st Spirit Mountain and looked at Shen Tian. “You are the Divine Firmament Saint?”

His four pupils flickered with an intimidating light.

Shi Tianzi’s expression was indifferent, but his aura was incomparably tyrannical.

A terrifying pressure swept out like a raging storm, sweeping up endless violent winds!

Shen Tian’s expression didn’t change. He stood tall like a pine tree and didn’t fall, unaffected by this aura. His eyes flickered with divine light as he smiled warmly. “That’s me, Shen Tian!”

Their gazes met, and it was as if there was a formless divine power that clashed endlessly.

In that instant, the void began to tremble and shatter inch by inch.

The paragons felt an invisible pressure spreading from heaven and earth, causing their hearts to tremble.

Could it be that these two peerless geniuses were going to compare notes on their first meeting?

Fortunately, the aura quickly dissipated, and a fight didn’t ensue.

Shi Tianzi’s eyes were deep, and his four pupils were as dazzling as the sea of stars. “I’ve heard about you from Cousin Linglong, and I’ve also heard the emperor’s evaluation of you. You are indeed not bad.”

Although he was complimenting Shen Tian, Shi Tianzi’s attitude was extremely cold. It didn’t seem like flattery and politeness between people of the same generation, but more like a senior encouraging the younger generation.

Clearly, this fellow was extremely arrogant.

…

Shen Tian didn’t say anything. Instead, he stared at Shi Tianzi’s head!

On top of Shi Tianzi’s head, there was a halo of light shining brightly!

It was a dark purple providence halo, unprecedentedly dazzling to the extreme.

As expected of a renowned paragon!

Shen Tian secretly praised in his heart. This fellow’s providence was absolutely the strongest among all the people he’d seen. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was God’s illegitimate son!

He had such a terrifying combat ability at such a young age. Even his Heavenly Venerable cultivation base was comparable to that of a True Sage.

Physique and background were important, but it was impossible without an astounding amount of providence.

God knows how many fortuitous opportunities this fellow had obtained since he was young!

This was an unexpectedly juicy harvest!

The corners of Shen Tian’s lips curved up.

…

Moreover, Shen Tian had used too much force previously and was too high-profile.

At first, he was still thinking about how to trick these brats and divert their attention!

Who would have thought that things would come his way so easily?

This kid had attracted everyone’s attention!

He is indeed worthy of being the Son of Providence with a great destiny. He can indeed bring good luck to me!

When he thought of this, Shen Tian’s heart couldn’t help but ripple, and he couldn’t help having a favorable impression of Shi Tianzi.

He slowly withdrew his imposing manner and no longer opposed Shi Tianzi.

For a period, in the eyes of the geniuses, Shi Tianzi’s aura grew even stronger, becoming the focus of everyone’s attention.

As for the Divine Firmament Saint, although he was still unfathomable, he did not seem that powerful.

Gradually, he stopped attracting attention.

…

His strength was not bad, but he was not worthy of Huang Shi’s praise.

Shi Tianzi muttered to himself in his heart. He then also withdrew his aura and stopped being overbearing.

He threw a token to Shen Tian and said indifferently, “With this token, you can pay a visit to the Emperor, Huang Shi!”

“However, young man, please keep a low profile in the future!”

Shi Tianzi looked deeply at Shen Tian before disappearing into the 1st Spirit Mountain.

“Eh!?”

By the time Shen Tian reacted, Shi Tianzi had already left.

What a pity. He had wanted to say something…

For example, they could form a good relationship, form a team when they were free, or raid dungeons together…

He did not expect this boy to walk away so fast!

It was a pity that a guy with such providence had escaped just like that!

But it was fine. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!

Since everyone was in Jixia Academy, how could he escape?

Hehehehehehe~

…

“That bastard actually threatened Junior Brother?”

After Zhang Yunxi saw Shi Tianzi threaten Shen Tian from high up in the air, she almost lost her temper.

If Zhang Yunting hadn’t pulled her back in time, she might have already rushed up and attacked him. Zhang Yunting was so scared that he was sweating profusely. The corners of his mouth twitched crazily.

“Yunxi, let’s calm down. Don’t fight and kill for no reason!

“We’ve just arrived in Middle Ground. Peace is the most important thing. Peace is the most important thing.”

If you want to attack someone else, that will be no problem. At most, I’ll help you deal with the person too.

The big problem is the target!

You should at least see who your opponent is!

That’s Shi Tianzi you are about to attack! He’s someone who is comparable to a True Sage!

Other than Junior Brother, who else can beat him?

Do you really think that he wouldn’t hit women?

…

“Humph!”

Zhang Yunxi snorted coldly. “This bastard, Junior Brother didn’t even provoke him, but why is he targeting Junior Brother?”

Zhang Yunting could only shake his head with a bitter smile. How would he know why Shi Tianzi was targeting Shen Tian?

Suddenly, Wang Shenxu said, “I know why Shi Tianzi doesn’t like Brother Shen.”

The paragons were instantly curious and looked at Wang Shenxu. “Why?”

Wang Shenxu smiled mysteriously. “Because his name is Tianzi, while Brother Shen’s name is Tian.”

All the paragons, “…”

Kek, that made sense. They actually had nothing to rebut against.

Speaking of which, how could the mouth of this kid from the Great Void Sacred Ground be so cheap!?

Fortunately, Shi Tianzi had already left. Otherwise, this fellow would definitely be beaten up badly!

No, not just beaten!

They felt that this fellow would be beaten to death by Shi Tianzi. Even if he spent his life to get more strength, it would be useless!

…

Elder Su walked out and said loudly, “New students can enter their respective Spirit Mountain. There are treasures and credit cards prepared by the academy in them.

“As for the students who did not open any Spirit Mountain, you can start setting up tents and building houses by yourself. You can rest here. A teacher will come to address you for your timetable later.”

After Old Master Su made the arrangements, he left in a hurry.

This generation’s heavenly genius was too stunning. He needed to inform the academy’s experts to make other arrangements.

Upon hearing Old Su’s words, many geniuses cried out in sorrow. Since they could not open any Spirit Mountain, they did not have the right to enjoy the massive amount of Spirit Qi within.

However, there was nothing they could do if their skills were inferior to others, so these paragons could only obediently start building houses. Otherwise, they would really sleep on the streets openly tonight.

As for the core disciples of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, they lived on the 21st Spirit Mountain.

The paragons were extremely envious, but there was nothing they could do.

After all, their geniuses could not open any Spirit Mountain!

…

Shen Tian bade everyone farewell and entered the 2nd Spirit Mountain.

The 2nd Spirit Mountain was enshrouded in a spiritual mist that flowed like water. Dense spiritual energy permeated the air, causing the air to become moist and condense into pure spiritual liquid.

As soon as Shen Tian entered, he felt refreshed and comfortable, as if he were swimming in a sea of spiritual power.

The spiritual essence here was too rich, far exceeding the outside world by a thousand times!

The spiritual mist that filled the sky was dense to the point it could even condense into liquid.

If an ordinary person could enter this place, they might be able to directly reach Foundation Establishment and start their cultivation career.

As expected of the second-ranked Spirit Mountain of the 36 Spirit Mountains, this place was indeed extraordinary.

“This place is not bad. The air quality is really good!”

Shen Tian couldn’t help but sigh. This place was even more outstanding than his Saint Mountain!

Furthermore, there were all kinds of cultivation facilities on the Spirit Mountain, and there was no need to spend any effort on purchasing anything.

At the peak of 2nd Spirit Mountain was a hall.

The hall was resplendent and majestic, constructed from precious spirit gold.

Inside the hall was a resting place.

On the table in the hall was a token and three supreme-grade Sage herbs.

Upon seeing this scene, the corners of Shen Tian’s mouth curled up slightly.

“How generous, Jixia Academy is quite generous!”

These were the rewards that Elder Su had mentioned.

The three supreme-grade Sage herbs were extremely valuable. They could even be exchanged for a Sage artifact. If anyone else could obtain these three supreme-grade Sage herbs, they would definitely be extremely happy.

However, Shen Tian didn’t really care. These could only be said to be icing on the cake for him. After all, he had money.

Shen Tian was more concerned about the token. It was a simple and unadorned command token, and a large ‘2’ character was on it!

Upon seeing this word, Shen Tian’s lips twitched uncontrollably.

This number seemed a little…

Shen Tian quickly understood the function of this token. It was the control token of the 2nd Spirit Mountain.

One could control the array formations of the 2nd Spirit Mountain through this token. This was a formation with the strength comparable to that of a One Tribulation True Sage after all, and it still had some use.

After Shen Tian took control of the 2nd Spirit Mountain’s token, it shot out a dazzling light.

Some information immediately appeared in Shen Tian’s mind.

According to what Old Elder Su had said, not only would one be rewarded with treasures after opening a Spirit Mountain, but they would also be rewarded with credits!

The information Shen Tian just learned was that the credits had been transferred to his account.

Academic credits were similar to Spirit Stones in the outside world. They were the most common currency used in Jixia Academy. They could be used to exchange for cultivation techniques, secret arts, treasures, and resources. They could also be used to exchange for the right to use certain cultivation facilities.

One had to know that the Jixia Academy’s inheritance was extremely long, and its foundation was unimaginably deep. One could even exchange for a complete Thearch’s sutra here!

However, everything had to be exchanged with credits, and credits could only be obtained by completing missions.

It could be said that the most important thing in Jixia Academy was credits.

Shen Tian’s token recorded 100,000 credits.

This amount of credits could absolutely be called a massive amount of wealth!

100,000 credits were enough for one to browse through a complete Thearch sutra that included a forbidden chapter!

If other students obtained it, it could even change their fate.

…

Upon seeing the token of the 2nd Spirit Mountain, Shen Tian recalled the token that Shi Tianzi had tossed to him.

He then took it out and examined it carefully.

Strange patterns were engraved on the token, as if it contained the great Dao of heaven and earth, looking incomparably profound.

A prominent “Desolate” character was engraved in the center of the token, its aura as vast as the sea. It was somewhat similar to his Distinguished Talent Token.

Shen Tian stroked the token in his hand. “Is this thing so magical that I can see Huang Shi after activating it?”

Could it be some summoning token? As long as it was activated, Huang Shi would personally come here?

At that thought, Shen Tian’s lips curled up, and he felt a little excited. After all, Huang Shi was very powerful.

After making the necessary preparations, Shen Tian poured his power into the token.

The token emitted a dazzling light. It was bright and lingered around the token, forming a round ball shape!

An absurd idea popped up in Shen Tian’s mind. He shouted softly, “I choose you, Pikachu!”

Yes, this ball looked exactly like the Pokeball that summoned Pikachu!

However, Pikachu did not appear!

The ball of light grew larger and larger as if it had transformed into a massive abyss that swallowed Shen Tian whole.

Shen Tian’s lips twitched upon sensing the majestic power contained within the light.

I was ambushed before I could even react!

Well, frankly speaking, it was too sudden for me to react~

…

His vision blurred, and Shen Tian could feel his position changing rapidly.

Soon, he appeared in the void. In this white space stood two figures.

One of the figures was dressed in white. His figure was tall and straight, like a spear that shot into the sky. His entire body exuded an arrogant and cold aura.

As he opened and closed his eyes, endless divine light flashed in them. The Thearch Bone in front of his chest was covered with mysterious divine patterns. Just by standing there, he seemed like the center of the world.

That’s right. This person was Middle Ground’s supreme prodigy that Shen Tian had met not long ago—Shi Tianzi!

The other figure looked very ordinary. He wore a purple scholarly robe and appeared to be in his 30s or 40s. This person did not have any spiritual energy fluctuations around him. He looked like an ordinary mortal scholar.

However, Shen Tian didn’t look down on him because he was too ordinary.

For such an ordinary person to appear in such an extraordinary place, this already showed how extraordinary he was!

Furthermore, Shi Tianzi’s attitude toward this person was extremely respectful.

Given this fellow’s bad temper, to be able to make him treat him with such respect…

If Shen Tian wasn’t wrong, he could only be Huang Shi!
