I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 105: Safer Option, Hand Over To Sacred Ground

Eastern Wilderness, at the back of a mountain in the Grand White Heaven-Grotto…

As the waterfall poured down from a high height, the sound of the water was deafening.

Surprisingly, two young men were standing at the bottom of the waterfall. They were waving the longswords in their hands to slash toward the waterfall.

In the empty space beside the waterfall, two middle-aged men were standing face to face with each other. One wore a long purple rode while the other carried a heavy sword behind him.

Supremacy Zi Yang revealed a begging expression on his face. “Senior Brother, you’ve already trained me for a whole day and night.”

Sword Venerable Long River replied coldly, “But Junior Brother’s stamina is still a disgrace!”

After finishing, he turned to look at the waterfall beside him. “Use more strength! As swordsmen, only through persistent training can your sword be sharp! You must be tough, you must be fast!

“Shen Ao, since you have entered our Grand White Grotto-Heaven, you cannot embarrass us. A month later, there will be a small competition between the two major sacred grounds and six major grotto-heavens. It is a joint training at the Primordial Battlefield.

“This time, the location is the outer peripheral of the Primordial Battlefield near the Country of Fire. Those in the Golden Core stage will not participate.

“I will train you and teach you sword arts in place of your master for you to stand out in the trial. After a month, I do hope that you will still not be this weak, embarrassing our sect, or else!”

Li Canglan did not finish his words, but Shen Ao, who was under the waterfall, already wanted to cry.

OMG! There’s no grudge between us, why must you do this to me!? And one month of special training? Have you seen anyone who has just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage able to improve greatly just by having special training for a month?

On top of that, you even want me to join the joint trial of the two major sacred grounds and six major grotto-heavens. I’m afraid any random person there possesses a higher cultivation level than me!

Shen Ao complained in his mind as he slashed the waterfall with great difficulty. He had a mental breakdown.

If it was not for having someone to accompany him, and that someone was in an even more tragic situation, Shen Ao might feel that his life was hopeless and meaningless.

Wait! The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground won’t be one of the two major sacred grounds, right!?

Shen Ao became even more anxious upon thinking of that possibility,

Don’t do this to me! My thirteenth brother is toxic!

Eastern Wilderness, at Jade Lake Sacred Ground…

This Small World was filled with birds’ chirpings and the fragrance of flowers, and peach blossoms were blooming everywhere.

In the center of this Small World, there was a humongous Spirit Mountain, and a magnificently decorated jade palace revealed the style of cultivators.

In the middle of the Spirit Mountain, within the Cultivator Cleansing Spring, spirit mist filled the place.

A lady walked out gracefully. She wore a long azure green dress and looked just like a fairy who came out of a drawing as Spirit Qi surrounded her.

At the entrance of the spring waters, several female disciples were waiting there. Every one of them had a pretty appearance with delicate features pleasant to one’s eyes.

“Senior Sister Ling’er, Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance has instructed for you to go to the Spirit Elegance Mountain to find her. She said that there’s news regarding Shen Ao that she wants to tell you, Senior Sister.”

That lady slowly nodded; her eyes were shining radiantly.

She walked step by step leisurely, and Spirit Qi bloomed under her feet, creating ripples.

Seeing the lady who gradually went further away, those female disciples were full of envy.

This Spirit Venerable Divine Water successor that Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance brought back from the outside actually has the rare Connate Spirit Constitution. Looks like there will be a new change to the Saintess candidate!

Eastern Wilderness, at the eastern suburbs of the Divine Firmament City, within a certain house…

Boom!

A powerful explosion resounded, and black fuming smoke could be seen.

From within the thick black smoke, a figure that was pitch-black all over walked out. A few silver-colored iron balls were attached to his waist, and he carried a black iron rod on his shoulder.

What was worth mentioning was that the appearance of the black iron rod looked very similar to the shotgun in PUBG.

“I’ve succeeded, I’ve succeeded!”

Qin Yundi used his pitch-black hand to wipe his pitch-black face, making his whole face even darker.

“Senior Brother, I discovered that the explosion is the strongest when Yin atom, Yang atom, and Spirit Qi are mixed in the ratio of 4:2:1! In addition, I managed to make the Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning and Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun. Senior Brother, please try them out. See if you’re satisfied with them.”

He managed to do it this fast?

Shen Tian raised his eyebrows.

He managed to create the Fragmentation Grenade and shotgun in just one day? As expected of you, Junior Brother Yundi!

After taking a silver iron ball from Qin Yundi, Shen Tian abruptly threw it 100 meters away.

Boom!

The Divine Lightning exploded in mid-air, and the silver-colored Spirit Iron Balls shot in all directions vigorously like shooting stars.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if the ground had been plowed as countless deep holes were formed.

The weapon’s effect rendered Shen Tian speechless.

Who would have thought that after mixing hydrogen, oxygen, and Spirit Qi, it would become this powerful?

According to what Qin Yundi said previously, such a lightning attack could injure peak-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Of course, the precondition is that the peak-stage Foundation Establishment person has to dumbly stand still for one to bombard them. Such a possibility is low. However, if it’s combined with Trapping Arrays, Killing Arrays, traps, and landmines, then it will be hard to say.

Now, let’s try this large black gun if it’s good to use.

Shen Tian gently stroked the black iron rod Qin Yundi handed to him; his burning gaze was full of anticipation.

Most men would be innately interested in shooting, no matter what was shot.

Naturally, Shen Tian was the same.

He took the black iron rod and stuffed the Lightning Talisman and Spirit Iron Ball into it according to the way that Qin Yundi had demonstrated.

Afterward, Shen Tian aimed the crude version of a shotgun toward a boulder in the house. He gradually pulled the trigger. The shotgun’s surface instantly flashed with a mysterious array formation—that was a defensive array formation to prevent the Spirit Gold Barrel from exploding.

Boom!

The moment the Lightning Talisman exploded, Spirit Iron Balls shot out of the barrel and instantly pierced through the boulder.

After the smoke dispersed, he discovered that the boulder was actually shot into pieces. At the same time, the hard Spirit Iron Balls had shot deep within the ground.

“The material limits the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun, so its barrel is unable to withstand a high-intensity explosion. Thus, its power is limited.

Qin Yundi explained, “This Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun created with normal Spirit Gold has a considerable lethality toward mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

“Of course, if I can use stronger Spirit Gold materials to make the barrel, I have the confidence to create an even more powerful weapon.

“The problem is, the high-tenacity Spirit Gold is just too expensive. Cough, cough… Most probably, I won’t be able to afford it.”

After listening to Qin Yundi’s embarrassed explanation, Shen Tian could totally understand him.

As a researcher, how was it possible that he did not spend money? However, there was really no need to worry about money since they researched such high-end weapons!

Currently, Lightning Talismans, which could injure cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, cost mostly over 10 Spirit Stones in the market.

If the Lightning Talismans could injure those in mid- or late-stage of Foundation Establishment, then it could be sold for 50-100 Spirit Stones.

The normal Yin-Yang Divine Lightning that Qin Yundi created cost at most two Spirit Stones if Spirit Qi consumption and talisman papers were included.

Even for the Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning, which had some low-grade Spirit Gold, the cost of one was less than five Spirit Stones.

Just selling them would allow them to earn a huge profit of over 20 times the cost. It was easy to make big money!

But wait a minute! Shen Tian was calculating how large the profit would be!

He suddenly became anxious and felt that he had overlooked something important.

Money was indeed useful, but having too much money was not necessarily a good thing if one’s strength was not enough.

Shen Tian recalled his previous life’s history lesson. There had been someone who also had the surname Shen¹, so rich that his wealth could be compared to the country. As such, the emperor had been envious.

In the end, the emperor had just randomly found an excuse to take him into custody, denounce him, and execute him. His properties had then all been confiscated.

Currently, Shen Tian was in the cultivation world—a place full of treacherous people where the weak were the prey of the strong!

Shen Tian was just a Qi Refinement cultivator and had a green halo on his head. Would he dare to fight with those super-powerful bosses for business?

Sssss~ Not a good idea, it’s too dangerous! So what should I do?

Shen Tian frowned and contemplated for half an hour.

Finally, he gradually stood up.

After careful consideration, it’s safer to hand it over to the sacred ground! No matter what, I am the Saint, and Qin Yundi is a true disciple of the sacred ground. We are the core disciples of the sect!

After handing over such a valuable patent to the sacred ground, they will definitely share some of the earned money with us, right?

Then, even if other people are envious and use schemes, that is the sacred ground’s problem. The Elders would definitely come forward to solve it.

Yeap, it’s decided then! Share the money with the Sacred Leader… Well, my master, paying the protection fees. Things are easier with someone powerful to rely on!
