Fang Chang pulled a long face. “Dear esteemed Master, could I not copy the sect’s rule but receive other punishments?”

The Sacred Leader said calmly, “5,000 times.”

Fang Chang’s lips twitched. “Master, I—”

The Sacred Leader was emotionless as he interrupted, “8,000 times.”

Fang Chang hurriedly said, “Master, what I mean is that I have no qualms about your punishment at all! 5,000 times, 5,000 times is enough!”

The Sacred Leader nodded slightly and looked at Shen Tian calmly. “Tian’er, how’s your cultivation coming along recently?”

Shen Tian bowed slightly. “Master, thank you for worrying about me. I just broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage today.”

Just as he finished, it instantly caused a mighty uproar within the Saint Mountain’s surroundings.

What!? Our Saint’s cultivation level had just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage?

On what basis could he become our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saint with such a cultivation level?

How can he make the other disciples acknowledge him from the bottom of their hearts?

In that instant, the disciples under the Saint Mountain started whispering to each other.

To that, Shen Tian only smiled. He was actually glad to see such a thing.

Protest! The best if all the true disciples submit a joint petition to protest! Then maybe due to the pressure, the Sacred Leader will allow me to resign from the Saint position.

As Shen Tian was engaging in wishful thinking, the Sacred Leader stood proudly in mid-air and said calmly, “Very good, Tian’er. Although you have a profound understanding of Yin and Yang, you still need a pragmatic foundation.

“Rumors say that in the primordial period, there were wise men blessed by providence who grasped the Dao, thus succeeding in Core Formation and becoming Heaven Immortals in a day!

“As your master, I hope you’ll be able to break through your limits just like the ancient paragons, form an unparalleled Dharmic foundation, then lead our sect to prosperity in the future.”

After the Sacred Leader spoke, many true disciples seemed to be deep in thought. Their discussions became even more heated.

“OMG! Lead our sect to prosperity? The meaning behind the Sacred Leader’s words sounds a little scary!”

“For previous Saints, he at most said to work hard and cultivate so as to not embarrass the sect.”

“Just how high is this new Senior Brother Saint’s talent, which makes the Sacred Leader think he has the qualifications to lead the sect to prosperity?”

“Saying that the new Senior Brother Saint has hope to lead the sect to prosperity in front of so many of us…”

“This means that if nothing unexpected happens, then this Senior Brother Saint will become the Sacred Leader in the future?”

“Succeeding in Core Formation and becoming a Heaven Immortal in one day… Were there really such terrifying geniuses in the primordial period?”

“From what the Sacred Leader said, is it possible that Senior Brother Saint is also such a type of person? Thus, Senior Brother Saint has already formed the strongest foundation in the world!?”

“I’m really curious just how powerful this peerless genius with the strongest foundation is!”

“Do you guys think that the Saint, who has just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, is able to beat Golden Core cultivators?”

“Since it’s the peerless Dharmic foundation of paragons, he must stand apart from others. I think he can fight Nascent Soul cultivators!”

“Yeap, the Saint seemed to even think that it was not worth it for him to personally make a move when facing our First Senior Brother. He won just by using the array.”

“I think that the Saint is definitely much more powerful than Senior Brother Fang. Even beating Nascent Soul cultivators would be nothing to him!”

“Although it is unimaginable, if the Saint’s talent is as powerful as the ancient paragons’, then it might really be possible.”

“Since the wise men in the primordial period could succeed in Core Formation and become Heaven Immortals in a day, this sounds much harder than a Foundation Establishment cultivator beating a Nascent Soul cultivator.”

“The Saint is too amazing! Not only is he handsome, but he also has such a peerless talent!”

“Being able to beat Nascent Soul cultivators in Foundation Establishment stage, such a Dao companion definitely makes one feel extremely secure!”

…

That’s right! If the Sacred Leader says you can do it, then even if you can’t do it, you have to be able to do it.

A few sentences from the Sacred Leader had directly shifted the course of direction/

After the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s disciples let their imagination run wild and a series of discussions, they all firmly believed that Shen Tian, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, could defeat Nascent Soul cultivators.

Shen Tian wanted to laugh from hearing such a thing.

Are you guys joking? How was it possible!?

You want me, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to beat Nascent Soul cultivators? Then when I reach the Golden Core Stage, won’t I need to go and defeat an Immortal King?

It’s just too ridiculous! I can at most defeat a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!

Regarding everyone’s admiration, Shen Tian was not proud or happy at all. Instead, he felt an unprecedented ill intention.

Originally, he was just being his weak self, a small Foundation Establishment cultivator. Thus, if someone wanted to harm him, they might just send a Golden Core cultivator. Then, Shen Tian could directly finish off that person with his Black Rhino Armor and Purple Golden Hammer.

However, after today, almost everyone would know that he, Shen Tian, had an unparalleled Dharmic foundation paired with invincible battle prowess.

If someone were to send people to make a move against him, then even if they did not send a Soul Formation cultivator, that person would most likely be one of the strongest Nascent Soul cultivators!

By then, how could he continue to stay low and grow stronger, surviving in this cultivation world steadily?

Master, this bad old man is simply too evil! He has no conscience!

The Sacred Leader did not know how resentful Shen Tian felt and went on. “Also, I will announce another important piece of news today.

“That is, our sect’s Saint, Shen Tian, has guided Golden Lotus Mountain’s Prime Disciple, Qin Yundi, to improve the method of creating the Lightning Explosion Talisman.

“Our sect has thus invented a new type of talisman, the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman. Its power is a few times stronger than normal Lightning Explosion Talismans. In addition, the price is only half of the previous Lightning Explosion Talisman. There’s even a 20% sale at the moment.

“If anyone needs it, then you can start buying it at the Golden Lotus Mountain from tomorrow onward.”

If the words that the Sacred Leader had said previously was like throwing a boulder into a pond, then the news of the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman was like throwing a nuclear bomb and exploding it in the pond.

In an instant, all the disciples outside the Saint Mountain became excited, and the sounds of conversations instantly heated the atmosphere.

“OMG! The power is a few times stronger than a normal Lightning Explosion Talisman? Then wouldn’t it be equivalent to an all-out attack of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?”

“Is there really such a type of Lightning Explosion Talisman? Only half the market price and also a 20% discount, isn’t it equal to a 70% discount?”

“If our sacred ground’s Lightning Explosion Talismans are really this cheap, it will be much cheaper when going out for adventures or killing monsters in the future.”

“This new Saint is really an unparalleled genius! Even after researching for so many years, Senior Brother Yundi could only increase its power by less than 50%. The Saint has just joined the sect, but he directly helped Senior Brother Yundi to increase the Lightning Explosion Talisman’s power.”

“Looks like what the Sacred Leader said is correct. Our Saint must be a legendary young paragon!”

“Who becomes the Saint is not really related to us, but improving the Lightning Explosion Talisman is really extremely useful!”

“Senior Brother Saint is so amazing! Not only is he handsome, but also wise!”

“I’m so envious of Senior Sister Yunxi! She has really taken advantage of the ancestors’ rules!”

“Senior Brother is really worthy of his position as the Saint!”

“I support Senior Brother Saint!! Hurray for Senior Brother Saint!”

…

If everyone was only shocked that the Sacred Leader had said Shen Tian had unparalleled talent previously, and they reluctantly acknowledged Shen Tian, then after the Sacred Leader had officially released the news of the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman, everyone’s attitude had become fervent.

No matter how high the Saint’s talent was, or how high his cultivation level was, it was not very beneficial to normal disciples.

However, he could reduce the cost of going for adventures and killing monsters. In other words, that would allow disciples to equip themselves with better weapons so that they could be safer when going out, thus being able to cultivate more efficiently.

In that case, even if that Saint did not cultivate at all, so what?

From the past to the present, the person who won the favor of people could rule the world—such was the logic!

At that moment, Shen Tian was in a daze. He felt that he had done nothing, but all of a sudden, he had become the idol of the whole sect?

At that moment, Uncle Gui was elated.

His Highness has support from so many people after just becoming the Saint. That’s such a great thing!

At that moment, Azure Lotus was dumbfounded. Just as he reached the Golden Lotus Mountain, he had heard his Junior Brother release the explosive news.

What!? This kid has improved the Lightning Explosion Talisman after just entering the sacred ground?

WTF!? Then how much money would the sacred ground split with him? Did I miss out on something!?
