I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 213: Brother Shen Is Indeed The Son Of Providence!

Jin Yu felt pained as he looked at the smiling Shen Tian, who was still conducting his appraisal seriously.

But could he object to Shen Tian’s appraisal? No way! Unless he wanted to follow in his predecessor’s footsteps.

When one’s opponent had a clear advantage, it was wise to act according to the circumstances!

Where there’s life, there will be hope!

Endure the humiliation now, emerge a victorious eagle later!

Jin Yu kept trying to convince himself. He ground his teeth. “Brother Shen’s appraisal is accurate. But… can I get an IOU first?”

Jin Yu just couldn’t accept Shen Tian’s price. He had never met someone so black-hearted!

Shen Tian gazed calmly at Jin Yu. “IOUs are for what you cannot afford now. Why do you still need an IOU when I have already done a conversion for you? Don’t tell me your Eagle race intends to renege on this debt?”

A chill ran down Jin Yu’s spine as he looked at Shen Tian’s calm face.

Shen Tian was behaving exactly the same as Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.

Jin Yu was really scared that this thug would copy Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and just kill him.

“Brother Shen, you misunderstand me. The Great Golden-Winged Eagle race owns a massive empire and can afford 50,000,000 Spirit Stones. Please don’t get angry!”

Shen Tian mulled over that. “Massive empire? Let’s do 52,000,000 Spirit Stones then!”

Jin Yu felt like crying. This scoundrel was already fleecing him, and he still dared to raise the price again? How could he be so unreasonable?

52,000,000 Spirit Stones. It was enough to buy quite a number of superior-grade Spirit artifacts.

Although he was the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race’s prodigy, it was impossible for him to hand over so much wealth.

Even if he managed to escape with his life this time, Jin Yu would definitely be heavily punished after returning to the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race!

Even as Jin Yu fretted, Shen Tian had already taken off Jin Yu’s interspatial ring from his finger and was trying his best to break the seal.

An interspatial ring could defend against attempts by outsiders to open it if it could feel its owner’s unwillingness. But at this point, there was no way Jin Yu dared to resist.

“Wow, Brother Jin is so rich! You have 1,000,000 Spirit Stones inside your ring. You are indeed a wealthy bird.

“You also have so many exotic treasures from the Southern Border. I appraise them at 1,000 Spirit Stones.

“The Eagle race’s ancient heritage skill, Heavenly Eagle Wing Attack? Worth 1,000 Spirit Stones.

“The Eagle race’s healing elixir, Great Golden Eagle Pill? Worth 500 Spirit Stones.”

…

After a quick survey, Shen Tian put Jin Yu’s ring on his own finger. “I am not an unreasonable person. The treasures inside this ring and the ring itself, I will appraise them at 1,500,000 Spirit Stones!

“Together with your saber and armor, I will value everything at 2,000,000 Spirit Stones. I am that generous!

“As for the remaining 50,000,000 Spirit Stones, I will give you an IOU. The Great Golden-Winged Eagle race’s name and reputation will be on the line. I will have Martial Uncle Azure Lotus collect the debt when the time comes.

“Brother Jin, please sign this if you have no objections!”

Have Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus collect the debt? Haha!

Jin Yu took a deep breath and ground his teeth. “Alright, I will sign it!”

If that Azure Lotus dares to show up at the Southern Border’s Eagle race’s territory to collect this debt, they will pay up without any qualms!

It’s just 50,000,000 Spirit Stones, anyway! My Eagle race can still afford it.

However, whether you can leave the Southern Border after collecting the debt is another matter. Let’s see if your sacred ground is good enough!

As long as you guys dare to show up at the Southern Border’s Eagle race’s territory, I will let you experience the price of transgressing upon the Eagle race!

After signing that deeply unfair IOU, Jin Yu turned and scrambled out of the valley. He had no intention of staying a second longer.

This time, he didn’t make any scathing remarks. He just scuttled off without making even a single sound.

Yes, truly without making the slightest noise.

He had lost so badly that he nearly lost the clothes off his own back.

…

Kong Meng gazed helplessly at Shen Tian.

The Great Golden-Winged Eagle race and the Peacock race were both from the same wider feathered family after all. The two races had a rather good relationship with each other.

As a result, Kong Meng felt somewhat conflicted upon seeing Shen Tian fleece Jin Yu in such a brazen manner. Nevertheless, she didn’t feel any urge to do anything more.

The reason was simple. Jin Yu had been the one who first sought out the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to stir trouble. She had already done her part in helping Jin Yu preserve his life.

She couldn’t throw herself into the fray just because Jin Yu was determined to fight Shen Tian to the death!

“I am very grateful for Brother Shen’s generosity.”

Kong Meng smiled as she took out a jade pendant. “This Divine Light Pendant has records of most of the Divine Light skills.

“Although it doesn’t contain the chapters on sutras and forbidden techniques, it has basic records on the Five Elements Divine Light, the Five Elements Divine Light Barrier, etc.

“This is the most I can offer you. If Brother Shen is able to understand after cultivating with it, you are welcome any time as a guest to the Southern Border Peacock race’s territory.

“Meanwhile, I will do my best to convince the elders to impart Brother Shen the full edition of the Peacock Sutra.”

Unlike Ao Bing, who was the Black Dragon’s leader, Kong Meng did not have the final say over which human partner would receive their Peacock Sutra.

But Shen Tian was already satisfied with receiving the Divine Light skills.

After all, during their earlier fight, Shen Tian’s Mixed Divine Lightning Fist had nearly failed to break through Kong Meng’s Rainbow Divine Light.

It must be pointed out that Shen Tian’s Mixed Divine Lightning Fist had been enhanced by the four extraordinary items. As a result, it was much more powerful than the usual Lightning Fist technique.

Kong Meng’s Rainbow Divine Light had only been enhanced by the Mixed Immortal Metal and was already so powerful.

How much more formidable could it be if enhanced by the Five Elements extraordinary items? It would be heaven-defying!

“Fairy Kong is so generous. I almost feel embarrassed accepting such an extravagant gift!”

Shen Tian took the jade pendant and put it straight into his Archeon Sea Ring. After a moment’s thought, he took out a spirit stone box.

The box was forged entirely from spirit stones and carved with the 10 great divine guardian beasts of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Inside the box was a bottle, made from spirit gold lacquered onto spirit jade.

The bottle alone could fetch up to 1,000 Spirit Stones in price. It was an extremely luxurious and premium item.

Shen Tian smiled. “This bottle contains 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid, cultivated from a Saint Divine Devouring Vine, which is ranked 9th on the Spiritual Wood List. It has miraculous healing abilities.

“I am giving you this today, as a sign of good faith between the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Peacock race as we form our alliance. I hope Fairy Kong will accept my humble gift.”

The Divine Devouring Vine, ranked 9th on the Spiritual Wood List? And a Saint stage at that?

This kind of Nirvana Holy Liquid was priceless!

The prodigies from Southern Border’s avian demon races were stunned by Shen Tian’s grand gesture.

He Wushuang and the rest had felt rather annoyed at Shen Tian for fleecing 50,000,000 Spirit Stones from Jin Yu. After all, they were all from Southern Border’s avian demon races and couldn’t help empathizing with the plight of their own kind.

However, at that moment, all they felt was a deep sense of shock.

So 50,000,000 Spirit Stones was really nothing to the Divine Firmament Saint! He could dole out 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid just like that. How could Spirit Stones compare to such a priceless item?

To many of the mighty figures nearing the end of their lives, no amount of Spirit Stones could replace the value of 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid. This was truly a priceless treasure that could take the place of a rare Immortal Sutra. It was definitely on par with the value of the Divine Light Pendant.

He was indeed the Divine Firmament Saint. So gracious and magnanimous!

“This… How can I possibly accept such a marvelous gift!?”

Dazed, Kong Meng stared at the box, which also held Shen Tian’s personal handwritten signature.

Brother Shen is indeed something. Even his handwriting looks so grand. Everything about this gift is just perfect!

Shen Tian smiled. “Fairy Kong is willing to represent her people to form an alliance with me. I have never been one to be stingy with my friends.

“I hope that after you return to the Southern Border, you can help pass the message of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s friendly intentions. The concept of harmonious human-demon relations.

“The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Peacock race both utilize the Five Elements skill. We should be more open to exchanges.”

Alright!

Actually, Shen Tian was coveting the complete version of the Rainbow Divine Light.

Kong Meng was right. The Rainbow Divine Light was very suitable for someone like Shen Tian, who possessed the four extraordinary items.

If he could learn the complete version of the Rainbow Divine Light—he would have the Mixed Divine Lightning as his attack and the Rainbow Divine Light as his defense. Even the Phoenix arts would fall short!

In addition, Shen Tian was drooling over the purple-tinted providence halo above Kong Meng’s head. It was indeed a rare, bountiful harvest for him.

Signing the contract, forming good ties with Kong Meng—these would greatly benefit his future development!

In addition, Shen Tian’s conjecture was proven right when the purple glow above Kong Meng’s head was enhanced after receiving 50L of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

At the same time, the fortuitous opportunity image above her head became even clearer, further fanning the flames in Shen Tian’s heart.

Of course, when someone leaped with joy, there would always be someone else angry and upset.

The black dragon egg beside him was fuming with rage.

Dressed in her black dress, Ao Bing was hopping mad.

“Shen Tian, you heartless punk!

“I have already formed a Dragon God contract with you and imparted every part of the True Dragon Imperial Sutra to you, except the forbidden chapter.

“But you didn’t give me a single drop of Nirvana Holy Liquid. This flat-chested girl is only giving you part of the Peacock Sutra, and you are already giving her so much holy liquid?

“How dare you treat me like this? You are insulting the honor of my Dragon race!

“I don’t care. I want it too. And I want more holy liquid than you have given this girl!”

Shen Tian was exasperated.

“Senior, you have not even come out of your shell yet. How do I give it to you?”

The black egg vibrated excitedly.

“Dig a hole and pour the Nirvana Holy Liquid into it. Then place me inside to soak! You must soak me completely in the liquid so that I can absorb enough of it!

“Only then can I obtain enough power to quickly break out of my shell. By then, I will always stand by your side, and you can dominate all five regions!

“Also, didn’t I tell you not to call me Senior? Call me Big Sister instead!”

The corners of Shen Tian’s lips twitched as he watched the vibrating Ao Bing. Was this really a Saint from the age-old Dragon race?

Could it be that demons would become more stupid after achieving Nirvana? Or did Ao Bing get brain damage from having the Executing Heaven Sword stuck in her head for over 10,000 years?

But anyway, Ao Bing was saying something rather reasonable.

She had indeed given him every section of the True Dragon Imperial Sutra, apart from the forbidden chapter which only the leaders could learn.

By right, Shen Tian shouldn’t be so biased.

At that thought, Shen Tian took another bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring and dug a hole in the ground. Then he poured the liquid into it.

Brimming with power, the Nirvana Holy Liquid flowed out, making everyone else salivate at the sight of it.

“He has just given away such a large amount of liquid but still possesses so much more!”

Bai Ling swallowed hard. To be honest, she really wanted some too!

But she just couldn’t bring herself to ask.

The black dragon egg immediately jumped into the hole after seeing the Nirvana Holy Liquid inside it.

Plop!

Gurgle!

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!

The dragon egg emitted a stream of bubbles as the silver liquid flowed into the egg, being greedily absorbed by Ao Bing.

Very quickly, the entire 50 liters worth of Nirvana Holy Liquid was completely sucked dry by the black dragon egg.

A black-robed figure appeared and burped. “So much. So pure. So satisfying.

“Alright then, I will forgive you since you have given me so much Nirvana Holy Liquid.

“I am feeling tired and need to sleep now. Don’t bother me unnecessarily.”

With that, the Dragon Lady figure merged back into the black dragon egg without another sound.

Sleeping immediately after drinking? Are you sure you are a dragon and not a pig?

Shen Tian couldn’t help muttering inwardly. Exasperated, he just carefully wrapped up the dragon egg again.

He turned to look at Kong Meng.

“Fairy Kong, I accidentally came across an extraordinary image while in the Primordial Battlefield. It seems to be related to the early ancestors of the Peacock race.

“I wonder if you are interested in coming with me to explore?”

Is the Divine Firmament Saint asking me out on a date?

Kong Meng’s face turned a slight shade of pink.

“Since it is linked to the early ancestors of my people, I am willing to come with you.”

Shen Tian nodded and turned toward Qin Yundi and the rest.

“Junior Brothers, you guys wait here in the Holy Dragon Valley. I will come back soon.”

Qin Yundi smiled through his narrowed eyes. “Senior Brother, go ahead and take your time. I will hold the fort and protect the group!”

Eunuch Gui smiled contentedly. “Your Highness’ matrimonial happiness is more important. No need to worry about us.”

His Highness finally learned to take the initiative to ask a Fairy for a date. It’s perfect. It should have been like this right from the start!

Given His Highness’ status, talent, and looks, as long as he is willing to make the first move, it will be just a matter of time before he can get a concubine.

First was the Dragon race’s eldest princess, and now the Peacock race’s little princess. They both seem to favor His Highness.

Concubine Lan would be so happy if she could witness this scene.

…

Of course, not everyone was happy about what had just happened.

For example, a certain prodigy from the Jade Lake Sacred Ground was feeling extremely jealous now.

Why is that demon able to go on a date with Brother Shen? To be his closest companion?

I was able to overlook the dragon as she is indeed very ferocious and malevolent. Nothing could be done when she forced Brother Shen to become a Dragon Knight.

But who the hell is this rainbow-colored peacock? Why did Brother Shen want to go sightseeing alone with her?

Is Ling’er not good enough for you?

Mmm, it must be because my cultivation level and power are not strong enough!

Little Spirit Fairy came to a conclusion, In this dog-eat-dog cultivation world, I am still not powerful enough!

Only the powerful would be recognized. Only then could she defend Brother Shen from those clamoring demons!

I must become more powerful. I must attain the position of the Jade Lake Saintess!

This notion grew to an unprecedented intensity inside her mind.

Little Spirit Fairy immediately sat down cross-legged in the valley to start cultivating.

…

At this point, Shen Tian and Kong Meng had already left the Holy Dragon Valley.

Following the direction shown by the fortuitous opportunity above Kong Meng’s head, the two of them soon flew out hundreds of miles away from the valley.

With the Rainbow Divine Light and the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique between them, the couple was an indomitable pair. No one could stand in their way.

Whenever they met with a powerful soulless creature, Kong Meng would use her Rainbow Divine Light to restrain it first, before Shen Tian would use his whip to destroy it.

Even a mighty soulless creature at the peak of the Golden Core stage was like a defenseless lamb primed for slaughter before Shen Tian and Kong Meng.

This also heightened Shen Tian’s interest in the Rainbow Divine Light. It was the most powerful restraining technique!

As a result, he activated the Divine Light Pendant to start learning the Divine Light techniques.

It must be said that with the extraordinary items in Shen Tian’s possession, he was indeed the best candidate to learn the Five Elements Divine Light techniques.

In just over an hour’s time, as they traveled, Shen Tian already obtained a basic understanding of the Red Divine Light, the White Divine Light, the Green Divine Light, and the Black Divine Light.

Although he was still unfamiliar with the techniques and had to practice more, Shen Tian was confident of fully grasping the techniques within 10 to 14 days.

Kong Meng couldn’t help being astonished by his speed. It was even faster than that of a pure-blooded peacock.

This Divine Firmament Saint has a gift for cultivation, which was just bewildering.

As expected, handsome men are usually very gifted!

…

As the two of them fought side by side, they soon came to a large rainbow-colored cliff.

The cliff was several hundreds of meters high, and a huge peacock was drawn upon it.

“This… should be the place where a powerful practitioner of our race met their death. With their final dregs of energy, they created this seal here before disappearing into the void.”

Kong Meng gazed at the cliff as he muttered to herself, “Perhaps with the Rainbow Divine Light, we can also enter that void.”

At that, the Rainbow Divine Light emerged behind Kong Meng and gushed into the cliff.

The cliff rippled like the surface of a lake. Rainbow lights swirled endlessly, creating a splendid and lovely image.

“We should be able to enter now.”

Kong Meng entered the void holding Shen Tian’s hand.

Shen Tian stepped into the cliff and found himself in a colorful world.

Two figures were sitting cross-legged right in the center. On the left was a lady dressed in a multi-colored outfit. She had already withered into a skeleton, but a dazzling ball of rainbow light glowed at her chest area.

One could see a fan floating amongst the colored light. It was clearly not some common object.

Meanwhile, a man in golden armor was on the right side. From his skeletal frame, it was clear he used to be a very tall, burly man.

A broken gold divine halberd was protruding out of his chest area, having pierced right into his heart.

With the golden halberd as the focal point, it was clear this man had suffered multiple fractures all over. He had endured a massive blow.

“If I am not wrong, this should be a pair of ancient lovers from my race and the Eagle race from 10,000 years ago.

“During the battle that time, the Eagle race was being slaughtered by the enemy, and the people of my race were also being pushed to the brink. We activated the forbidden Rainbow Divine Light technique to seal ourselves in this void.

“After thousands of years, they have reappeared in this battlefield and were discovered by us.”

Kong Meng seemed to have thought of something. A Rainbow Divine Light avatar rose up behind her, resonating with the skeleton of the lady.

Suddenly, the skeleton’s ball of rainbow light seemed to be awakened before shooting straight at Kong Meng.

The Divine Light entered Kong Meng’s body, increasing her aura greatly. Her Rainbow Divine Light instantly became even more dense and intense.

“This is the power source of the Rainbow Divine Light, cultivated by this ancestor of mine for over a thousand years. She can detect my bloodline and is giving me permission.

“Also, my ancestor’s Rainbow Divine Light Fan weapon is one of the foundation sacred artifacts of the Peacock race. It was lost in the battlefield 10,000 years ago.”

A rainbow-colored fan appeared in Kong Meng’s hand. The fan was infused with the Divine Light and looked very lovely.

After taking a deep breath, she bowed three times toward the female skeleton.

Following that, Kong Meng took a coffin out of her interspatial ring and placed her ancestor’s body carefully inside.

After that, she said to Shen Tian, “The Rainbow Divine Light Fan is extremely important. Brother Shen has given the Peacock race the Nirvana Holy Liquid and also helped us recover this fan.

“Don’t worry. I am someone who knows how to return favors. Should you need anything in the future, I will try my best to help!”

While looking at Kong Meng’s earnest face, Shen Tian shook his head with a smile. “Fairy Kong Meng, you don’t need to be so formal and polite.”

He walked over to the body of the powerful Great Golden-Winged Eagle practitioner. “It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement.”

With that, Shen Tian squeezed a drop of blood from his right forefinger and dripped it on the man’s dull armor.

As Shen Tian’s blood seeped into the armor, it suddenly erupted in a dazzling golden light. The faint image of a divine eagle appeared.

The armor rapidly disintegrated into numerous golden feathers, which shot toward Shen Tian.

Every single feather flew at sonic speed, as if about to shoot through space and time.

Kong Meng’s eyes were filled with wonder at the feathers. “Is this… the Feather Immortal Metal, ranked 8th on the Immortal Metal List?”

The Feather Immortal Metal was indeed ranked 8th on the Immortal Metal List. It was the world’s lightest, fastest, and sharpest Immortal Metal.

The Feather Immortal Metal was shaped like a feather and infused with energy. It was rumored that even the most ordinary commoner could fly when wearing armor made from Feather Immortal Metal!

If the Mixed Immortal Metal was the Peacock race’s most precious treasure, then the Feather Immortal Metal was the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race’s most cherished prize.

The Great Golden-Winged Eagle race’s innate speed could be fully displayed with the Feather Immortal Metal.

Their battle prowess would also increase exponentially!

A pity that in the ancient battle 10,000 years ago, the Feather Immortal Metal had disappeared with its owner.

“It looks like these are indeed the two prodigies from the two Feathered races from 10,000 years ago. Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly be in possession of the Divine Light Fan and the Feather Immortal Metal.”

Kong Meng was secretly in awe of Shen Tien. “I thought that my natural talents and providence were already at the top of the leagues in the Southern Border.

“But there will always be someone better than you out there. My providence is nothing compared to Brother Shen’s!”

It must be known that this was a treasure that was in the top ten extraordinary items list. It was something that even the sacred grounds might end up fighting over!

Shen Tian was the Divine Firmament Saint. Just by participating in this one minor Foundation Establishment trial, he had so easily discovered such a priceless treasure just by wandering around!

Brother Shen is indeed the Heavenly Dao’s Son!

Kong Meng secretly vowed to convince her elders to form the contract with Shen Tian.

The Peacock race would regret for years to come if they missed out on such a mighty Heavenly Dao Son!

…

Before Kong Meng came to terms with everything, Shen Tian had already taken a coffin out of his Archeon Sea Ring for the man’s remains.

The Eagle race and Brother Shen are clearly at odds with each other. But he is still willing to overlook all their past and current animosity and help retrieve the remains of this Eagle race member? He is indeed a magnanimous man.

Kong Meng was in love.

Unfortunately, Shen Tian was not as magnanimous as Kong Meng thought. Or rather, benevolence was only part of it.

To be honest, Shen Tian held quite a bit of respect for this ancestor of the Eagle race, who had fought against Evil Spirit 10,000 years ago.

After all, he had just received this ancestor’s legacy. One could hardly speak bad about someone from whom you just received a treasure!

Of course, this was just one of the reasons and not the main one.

The main reason was that Jin Yu had signed an IOU with Shen Tian for 50,000,000 Spirit Stones.

Shen Tian seriously doubted that Jin Yu would keep his promise after returning to the Southern Border.

This Eagle race ancestor’s body would come in handy if Jin Yu tried to shirk his debts then.

If the Eagle race had integrity, Shen Tian would return the body and the armor to Jin Yu and his people.

If the Eagle race tried to deny their obligations, Shen Tian would bury the body and armor in a secret location.

It must be pointed out that in Kong Meng and Jin Yu’s original fortuitous opportunity image, this void had been discovered by Kong Meng and Jin Yu.

Under Shen Tian’s directions, Kong Meng obtained the Divine Light power source and the Rainbow Divine Light Fan. Her providence was once again enhanced.

Meanwhile, Jin Yu’s Feather Immortal Metal had fallen into Shen Tian’s hands. His providence would definitely decrease.

According to past experiences, if he handed the body and armor to Jin Yu, his providence would rebound and might even increase more than before.

If Shen Tian just buried the body and armor without letting them touch Jin Yu’s hands…

Haha, well, after Qin Gao, Fang Chang, Chen Zhongtian, the fourth abnormal test subject would be born in this world.

In this dog-eat-dog cultivation world, Shen Tian was never one for sentimentality.

If you decide to become my true enemy, be prepared then… to become a lab rat!
