I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 160: Spirit Stone Vein, Divine Juice Wine

Although Shen Tian had grasped numerous new forms this time, he still decided to keep as many hidden as possible. He definitely would not reveal them all since the cultivation world followed the survival-of-the-fittest mindset. He had a higher chance of survival, the more trump cards he concealed.

If one displayed only battle prowess of the Foundation Establishment stage, then a Golden Core cultivator’s powers would be enough when they encountered dangers.

If Shen Tian revealed all of his strength, then once someone targeted him, it would be catastrophic for him.

After this experience in the Fog Plain, Shen Tian had understood the importance of the strategy to be steady and hide one’s weakness even more. If he were given another chance, he definitely would not take the risk and come look for treasures alone.

Shen Tian ate the delicacies, so he sorted the benefits he had reaped and prepared to leave.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a distending pain in his head—a special bloodline heritage memory suddenly appeared in Shen Tian’s mind!

In that instant, Shen Tian felt that he had become a vine, a huge vine that pierced through the sky. His body was enshrouded by layers of thick spirit fog, which completely covered his body, making him mysterious and unpredictable.

As long as he was willing, his whole body could move through the ground at will—his speed was even faster than demon beasts. Such a feeling was very strange as Shen Tian could vaguely feel that he too seemed able to achieve something like that!

It was unknown how much time had passed when Shen Tian opened his eyes. He tried to merge the imprints within the depths of his mind, gradually stretched out his right hand and released a Divine Devouring Vine. Soon, his body was filled with spirit fog.

Shen Tian could clearly sense that although the amount of spirit fog he released was far lesser than the Fog Plain, the spirit fog’s nature was completely the same. It could also block the cultivators’ sensory abilities and completely hide one’s body.

This was definitely a surprise to Shen Tian as the Divine Devouring Vine’s coordination with the First Essence Heavy Water was already an extremely powerful combination. Now, with the spirit fog’s support, it would make the originally mysterious Water Vine’s attack even more fearsome.

Shen Tian imagined that when battling, the moment he released the spirit fog to enshroud his opponent, he would be undefeatable. Afterward, he would hide within the spirit fog and use the powerful Heavy Water and Divine Devouring Vine to ambush them. Thus, even if it were mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, they could easily be defeated.

That was the first special ability that Shen Tian had obtained after absorbing the Divine Devouring Vine—releasing spirit fog, and the effects were quite good.

Meanwhile, the second special ability that Shen Tian had obtained was to strengthen Earth Escape.

Many earth-attribute cultivators would choose Dharma techniques, such as Earth Movement, to escape. However, not every type of Earth Movement technique’s speed was swift, and some were simply outrageously slow.

Shen Tian’s special ability allowed him to traverse the ground as a Divine Devouring Vine, and his speed could even be compared to that of Sword Kinesis Flight. If he encountered powerful enemies that he could not escape from through the sky, Shen Tian could totally escape through the ground.

“A skill that can save my own neck, very good!”

Shen Tian deemed this skill even more important than the Lightning Exploding Qi, and that was because he did not like risking his life. Instead, self-protection was of utmost importance.

In the future, if he really encountered enemies he could not resist, he would use the spirit fog to hide and then Earth Escape to run away. Even if the opponent was a presence comparable to Supremacies, they might not be able to chase after Shen Tian within a short time!

Since Shen Tian was a person that had the courage to put things into practice, he decided to try it.

He followed the path shown in the imprint within his mind and gathered his energy. In that instant, Shen Tian felt as though the soil beneath his feet seemed to have turned into liquid. His body was rapidly pulled into the ground without any obstacles under the Divine Devouring Vine’s guidance.

Shen Tian could even vaguely sense that his Earth Escape’s speed was even faster than Sword Kinesis Flight. He could not help but exclaim that the world was so big that nothing should be surprising anymore.

If not for Lu Ji’s desire to enter the Tribulation Transcendence stage, which had forced her to come out to transcend the tribulation and become a Sage, only a few people in the Eastern Wilderness could threaten her. Even if she could not defeat those few people, she would be able to escape. It was a pity that the Divine Devouring Vine belonged to Shen Tian now.

Shen Tian used all his strength to activate the Ground Burrowing technique, and he completely disappeared. He started transversing through the ground hurriedly as if he could not sense even a slight obstacle; such an experience was marvelous.

Suddenly, Shen Tian started to have a strong desire for something. The Tinder Sutra within him seemed to have sensed something and was agitated.

Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. He carefully armed himself to the teeth and headed toward that direction. As he got closer in that direction, Shen Tian could feel that his consumption for traversing within the ground was increasing. So much so that it was as if he was moving forward within a swamp, taking each step with much difficulty. He had to consume a large amount of Divinity to advance just a bit.

Finally, he seemingly broke through a thin invisible barrier, passed through a stone wall, and entered a large space. This was a secret underground room that was hundreds of meters wide, and hard rocks completely covered it.

Shen Tian could clearly see that beside the room was a… huge Spirit Stone Vein.

That’s right—a Spirit Stone Vein!

A Spirit Stone Vein that even sacred grounds would view as an important core resource!

To think that such a small-scale Spirit Stone Vein was actually hidden in the depths of the Fog Plain.

Although its scale could not be compared to those veins in Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, its value was definitely immeasurable.

It was because there had been a huge amount of Spirit Qi that Lu Ji could grow for thousands of years. This had enabled her to attempt to transcend the tribulation.

If he could bring the Spirit Stone Vein along, it would definitely be a huge gain to current Shen Tian.

Of course, Shen Tian did not have the thoughts of bringing this vein by himself. It was unrealistic since it was even difficult for Soul Formation cultivators to move it. As such, rather than keeping it a secret and risk it being discovered by other providence-blessed people in the future, it was better to directly report it to the sacred ground.

Let the sacred’s ground top powerful figures to move it. I’ll ask for some profits in return.

It was still the same old words—Shen Tian had lacked money. Money was just numbers to him. Safety was first!

He carefully walked inside the vein’s space. Evidently, this was where Lu Ji had been living.

Shen Tian followed the secret underground room and advanced slowly before finding another room.

Lu Ji either seemed to not have known how to set up array formations or maybe she felt that there would be no problem with her presiding over here, so no defensive arrays were protecting this room.

The room was filled with numerous jugs of Divine Wine, old ones at that.

Shen Tian took a jug and opened it. He saw that it was filled with milky white liquid and emitted a rich wine scent. Obviously, these were all brewed using the Divine Devouring Vine’s juices.

Shen Tian roughly calculated, and there seemed to be hundreds of jugs!

The Divine Juice Wine overflowed with an abundance of Spirit Qi and was extremely beneficial to cultivators. Even Sword Venerable Qian Yang, a peak Soul Formation cultivator, coveted the Divine Juice Wine. These jugs were extremely precious.

It was a pity that Shen Tian was the type that would get drunk in just one cup, so he dared not anyhow drink the wine. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he got drunk and forgot what he did within that period of time.

Although I don’t like drinking wine, collecting good stuff is the absolute choice! I’ll take them all!

After deciding so, Shen Tian moved those jugs into his Archeon Sea Ring one by one.

Shen Tian vaguely remembered that Li Changge was a drunkard. Who knew if his father, Li Canglan, liked to drink too.

If he also likes drinking, then when I meet him, I will be able to curry favor with him by giving him a jug or two of Divine Juice Wine, right?

Yeap, these jugs of Divine Juice Wine are very suitable to be given as gifts or when receiving guests. No matter what, this is the wine brewed by using the Divine Devouring Vine, which is ranked 9th in the Spiritual Wood List.

Only a few people in the whole cultivation world could afford to accept such hospitality.

Indeed, after my halo became greener, my luck is also better. I’m even able to obtain such precious treasures!

…

Shen Tian crazily collected all the treasures in the mountain valley.

Meanwhile, at a highland outside the mountain valley, a tiny vine, about five centimeters long, was emitting resentment. It looked toward the mountain valley and snarled through her divine consciousness, its voice sounding young.

“That detestable evil woman! Don’t think that you will be fine by just concealing your aura! I have etched you in my memory—blue battle armor and red mask!

“You actually dared to snatch my Nirvana Holy Liquid.

“Ahhh! I will definitely find you to take revenge! Definitely!!!”

That five-centimeter-long vine kept on jumping in anger. It was stamping with fury!
