I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Apart from the various sacred grounds, the grotto-heavens affiliated with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had also come for the inauguration ceremony.

At this time, Shen Tian saw a group of people from Grand White Grotto-Heaven among the celebrating group.

He had many old acquaintances amongst those in the group from the Grand White Grotto-Heaven.

Shen Tian smiled faintly and prepared to greet them.

“The Divine Firmament Saint is here!”

“The Divine Firmament Saint is so handsome. No, I’m infatuated with him now~”

“I thought Senior Brother Changge was already handsome enough, but compared to the Divine Firmament Saint, I realized that he’s nothing.”

“Oh, I shouldn’t have such thoughts. How can Senior Brother Changge’s appearance be comparable to that of the Saint’s?”

…

Seeing Shen Tian walk over, the Grand White disciples, especially the female disciples, were extremely excited.

Everyone’s faces were flushed. After all, Shen Tian’s current reputation wasn’t inferior to the Sages. In some aspects, he even surpassed them. This was especially so when it came to his looks. There was no doubt that he was one of the most handsome men.

A few people even gave Shen Tian the title of Eastern Wilderness’s most handsome man.

A figure suddenly shot out of Grand White Grotto-Heaven’s group and shouted, “Big Brother Shen Tian!”

This figure was petite and delicate. She had a flower pot on her head, and there was a green gourd vine hanging down from the pot. It looked like it was tied with a braid of flaxen vines.

A cluster of fur swaying in the wind was around the flower pot, holding the flower pot in place.

That’s right—this girl was Li Lian’er!

…

She threw herself into Shen Tian’s arms and mumbled, “Brother Shen Tian, I missed you so much!”

Shen Tian stroked Li Lian’er’s hair and smiled. “Long time no see, Lian’er!”

“Big Brother Shen Tian, why haven’t you come to visit Lian’er for so long?”

Li Lian’er hugged Shen Tian tightly and refused to let go.

Shen Tian was helpless and was about to say something when he felt a chill run down his spine. An extremely piercingly cold strand of sword qi shot into the sky and pointed toward the direction of Shen Tian. It was extremely icy cold and laced with killing intent!

Shen Tian became vigilant as he turned around.

Could it be that Lian’er’s admirer was jealous of this Saint?

Such a cliché, boring, and awkward plot. How unskilled was the author to write such a story!?

Shen Tian’s face darkened.

His gaze landed on a burly middle-aged man with a sword on his back.

He stared fixedly at Shen Tian, his sharp sword eyes overflowing with sword qi as if he wanted to swing the longsword in his hand to kill Shen Tian.

Yes, this fellow was Li Lian’er’s father—Li Canglan.

Shen Tian blushed with shame. He hadn’t expected the famed daughter-con Sword Venerable Long River to come too, and worse still, witness what was happening!

Fortunately, someone stepped forward and pulled Li Lian’er away, interrupting Sword Venerable Long River from raging on the spot!

The person who pulled Li Lian’er was the Sword Supremacy Lotus, Li Changge.

It was just that at this time, Li Changge had already successfully shattered his core to form his Nascent Soul and was now titled Sword Supremacy Lotus.

Li Changge pulled Li Lian’er away with a helpless expression. “Little sister, can you be more reserved? Father is still watching from behind!”

Li Lian’er couldn’t help but struggle and throw a fit. “Brother, let go of me. You are annoying! Don’t stop me. I’m going to look for Shen Lang!”

Li Changge, “…”

He looked at Shen Tian with a helpless expression and explained, “Don’t misunderstand, brother-in-la—”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Changge felt a chill run down his spine!

Oh no! This stupid mouth of mine has said the wrong thing! Father is still here!

Li Changge’s lips could not help but twitch. He hurriedly changed the topic.

“Cough, cough, Brother Shen is indeed extraordinary. I didn’t expect Brother Shen’s cultivation to improve so quickly after our last meeting!”

Li Changge was at a loss of words. The last time they had met, Shen Tian had still been a weakling who needed his protection.

How long had it been?

Shen Tian’s current strength was enough to contend against a Sage!

Forget about the rising prodigies—there were so many top geniuses in the five regions—Shen Tian wasn’t just a rising star but a heavenly prodigy!

Compared to him, what have I been doing all these years? Cultivate? Have I been cultivating loneliness?

Even though he was also considered a genius, he could not help but doubt his life.

Shen Tian smiled and said, “We haven’t seen each other for more than a year, and Brother Chang Ge’s cultivation has also improved greatly. Congratulations!

“I believe that even in the Nascent Soul stage, there are very few people who can compete with Brother Changge!”

Shen Tian could sense that Li Changge had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and an extremely peculiar sword intent was hidden in his body. This kind of sword intent was different from Sword Venerable Long River. It was a sword intent unique to Li Changge.

If Li Changge continued to cultivate this sword intent, he might be able to create his own Sword Dao!

Li Changge’s talent was also extraordinary from the looks of it, not weaker than those peak prodigies.

Li Changge pursed his lips and muttered softly, “Even so, I am not as perverted as you.”

Li Lian’er said, “Brother, don’t think that no one can hear you just because you’re whispering. You must be jealous of Big Brother Shen Tian and speaking ill of him! How impudent. No wonder you don’t have a Dao companion.”

Shen Tian, “…”

Li Changge, “?”

Aiyo, Li Changge suddenly felt his liver hurt!

Whose sister was this? He must have brought along the wrong girl!

How could she not be on his side?

My heart hurts, my dear sister!

…

“Thirteenth Brother, long time no see!”

Shen Ao also walked over. He was a disciple of the Grand White Grotto-Heaven, and his status was not low.

Moreover, this was Shen Tian’s inauguration ceremony, so how could he, his older brother, not come?

Shen Tian’s eyes brightened. “Sixth Brother!”

When the two brothers met, they naturally exchanged greetings.

Shen Tian had a good impression of Shen Ao.

After all, before Shen Tian had become a BUG-like existence, Shen Ao had been treating him well.

There was some brotherly affection between the two brothers.

After all, on the path of cultivation, most people were lonely.

Many peerless experts desperately exhausted everything they had to finally walk the path of invincibility.

However, when they turned around, they would realize that there was no one beside them.

This was the helplessness of an expert and also a situation that was difficult to change.

When he met Shen Ao, who was related to him by blood, Shen Tian couldn’t help but have the urge to lend him a helping hand.

He took out a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill and passed it to Shen Ao. “Sixth Brother, this is for you!”

Shen Ao’s body trembled as he looked at the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill in his hand. He reflexively reached out his hand but forcefully withdrew it.

Shen Ao coughed lightly. “Thirteenth Brother, this pill is too precious. How can I accept it?”

The Sages of the various large factions were almost going crazy over the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. They didn’t hesitate to use all their wealth to exchange for just one pill!

In the end, the auction had ended regretfully because the number of Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills had been insufficient!

But now, Shen Tian actually gave him the pill that made even Sages crazy for nothing.

How could Shen Ao not be moved?

“Thirteenth Brother, this supreme pill should be exchanged for a Sage artifact to improve your strength. Doing so will also better guarantee your safety!”

Even though he was drooling over the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, Shen Ao still refused.

Thirteenth Brother treats me so well. How can I not consider for him and accept this pill just like that?

By the side, Supremacy Zi Yang’s lips twitched as he forced out an ugly smile.

Naturally, his heart was in pain.

What a dumb, dumb disciple!

My silly disciple, how could you refuse it?

That’s the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

Just one!

Just one of them would save you at least a few thousand years of hard work!

Supremacy Zi Yang violently trembled, his beard nearly exploding from anger!

…

Shen Tian was slightly stunned. He did not expect his Sixth Brother to be so polite!

How touching!

Shen Tian patted Shen Ao’s shoulder.

“Sixth Brother, accept it. I still have a few of these. Besides, I don’t lack any artifacts!”

With that said, Shen Tian took out the basket of artifacts that the Sages had just given him.

“Sixth Brother, if you see anything you like, you can pick them.”

With so many supreme-grade Sage artifacts, there weren’t many artifacts that could attract Shen Tian anymore.

As for the rest, they could only be used for transactions or as gifts.

It was a gift anyway, so why not give one to Shen Ao?

After all, they were blood-related brothers!

Looking at the basket of artifacts, Shen Ao was even more confused.

What!?

Why do I feel like I’m useless when compared to Thirteenth Brother!?

Putting aside the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, only a freak like Shen Tian could refine it.

One had to know that even a supreme Spirit artifact required a master to work hard for hundreds of years.

And what Shen Tian had casually taken out were all Sage artifacts, a basket full of them!

Pick anything!!!

Who could resist such temptation!

They were both princes of the Country of Fire, so why was the difference so great!?

For some reason, this sentence appeared in Shen Ao’s mind!

…

Shen Tian’s eyes shifted as he fished out two more Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills and handed them to Li Lian’er and Li Changge, respectively.

“Lian’er, Brother Changge, these two Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills are for you!”

Li Lian’er had a very special status in Shen Tian’s heart. She was Shen Tian’s ‘first girl’.

If not for Li Lian’er backing him up, things would definitely not have gone so smoothly when he swindled people in the Myriad Spirit Garden.

On the other hand, Li Changge had saved Shen Tian before, and the token he had gifted him had helped Shen Tian resolve many dangers!

Shen Tian wasn’t an ungrateful person and naturally wouldn’t forget them.

Li Changge’s heart shook violently as he held the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill in his hand. He never expected such a good thing to happen to him.

“Brother-in-law, how can I accept this? How could I, Li Changge, be the kind of person to receive a reward without doing anything?”

After Li Changge received the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, he immediately forgot about his father’s murderous gaze behind him.

He put his arm around Shen Tian’s shoulder. “Brother-in-law, I’ve long since seen how extraordinary you are. You’re definitely worthy of my sister!”

Shen Tian, “…”

Shen Tian was exasperated.

Isn’t it just a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill? Is there a need to make such a fuss?

Li Lian’er blushed. “Brother, what are you saying? How embarrassing!”

Following that, Li Lian’er lightly stepped forward and tiptoed, her red lips lightly touching Shen Tian’s face.

“Thank you, Big Brother Shen Tian!” Li Lian’er murmured softly, and her face flushed as she felt extremely touched.

Lian’er was right!

Brother Shen Tian really likes Lian’er!

Sob, so happy!

The crowd: “…”

Shen Tian, “???”

What!?

As soon as I was distracted, I was taken advantage of?

It’s one thing to be taken advantage of, but to suffer a loss is another!

The main point is that there is a daughter-con here!

Aren’t you afraid of someone going berserk?

As expected, Shen Tian glanced at Sword Venerable Long River and realized that the old man’s face was darker than charcoal.

An earth-shattering sword intent burst forth from Li Canglan’s body. It was as if a tempestuous wave was crashing down, rushing into the heavens, and tearing the surrounding space into pieces.

The divine sword behind him shook violently as it emanated shocking divine might!

Clang!

The divine sword was unsheathed with a loud rumble and shot out a dazzling sword gleam aggressively!

Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan, finally couldn’t take it anymore. He raised his sword and was about to attack!

Shen Tian was so shocked that he took out the Ocean Divine Hammer and stared intently at the irritable old man.

Who knew if this old fellow would really give him two strikes when he was enraged? It was the scariest thing to be against a daughter-con!

Fortunately, the Grand White Grotto-Heaven Leader caught Li Canglan in time and stopped him. “Senior Brother, calm down, calm down!”

Sword Venerable Long River ground his teeth. “How can I calm down? Junior Brother, let go of me. Let me hack him to death!”

The Grand White Grotto-Heaven Leader said helplessly, “Senior Brother, even if we can’t calm down, we have to! He has given us three Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills. That is an entire three stalks of immortal seedlings!

“Changge and Lian’er have both benefited from it. It’s really not appropriate for you to cut him now!

“Furthermore, the Divine Firmament Saint can even send a True Sage flying. Even if you were to attack him, your old body might not be able to withstand a few of his strikes!”

The Grand White Grotto-Heaven Leader tried his best to persuade him. He was really afraid that the old fellow would charge forward. He wasn’t afraid of anything happening to Shen Tian, but he was afraid that Li Canglan would get beaten up on impulse!

Ignoring the fact that Li Canglan could not withstand the hammer, they were standing on the land of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Experts from all over the world attended the Divine Firmament Saint’s inauguration ceremony. If Li Canglan attacked Shen Tian and couldn’t defeat him, his reputation would be completely ruined!

…

Li Canglan’s body froze, and he finally put down the sword in his hand. He looked at Shen Tian with a pained expression before turning to look at the large hammer in his hand. He couldn’t help but sigh.

“The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!”

Then, Li Canglan turned around and left, his figure looking lonely!

That was his own daughter!

Yet, just like that, she has abandoned him for another boy.

Li Changge patted Shen Tian’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Brother-in-law. With you around, I’ll definitely make Father accept you!”

Li Changge also promised to help Shen Tian deal with Li Canglan!

At that moment, an indifferent voice sounded behind him. “Changge, double your training when you get back! Swing your sword 100,000 times a day. You are not allowed to leave the house until you break through to the Soul Formation stage!”

Li Changge’s mouth twitched, and his smile slowly froze.

F*ck, he had messed up.

He had just broken his core and formed his Nascent Soul not too long ago. He did not know how long he would need before he could break through to the Soul Formation stage.

What the heck? How long has this been going on!?

Shen Ao looked at Li Changge with a face full of sympathy and said with a smile, “Senior Brother, why are you doing this? You actually dared to be complacent in front of Martial Uncle Canglan!”

Shen Ao knew very well how… satisfying Li Canglan’s training was!

Sigh, he was really happy to see his Senior Brother being trained!

“And Shen Ao, you will also undergo special training.”

However, Li Canglan’s following words made the smile on Shen Ao’s face quickly freeze.

Thirteenth Brother, save me!

…

On the other side, Wang Shenxu and Qi Shaoxuan were preparing to congratulate Shen Tian.

Wang Shenxu’s eyes widened when he saw Shen Tian delivering the pills.

Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill! I want the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!

Wang Shenxu suddenly jumped out and ran to Shen Tian’s side, his face full of admiration. “The first time I saw Brother Shen, I felt that Brother Shen was extremely talented and was destined to become a dragon amongst men.

“Given Brother Shen’s talent, you will definitely reach the peak of the five regions and become much stronger than someone with the aptitude of a Thearch!

“In my opinion, Brother Shen not only has the talents of a Thearch, but you also have the talents of an Immortal King and an Immortal Emperor!”

In order to hug this thick thigh, I will definitely brag about Brother Shen even if I have to kneel on the ground!

Shen Tian, “…”

Brother Wang, does your sacred leader know that you are so good at bootlicking?

On the other side, the Great Void Sacred Leader’s face was as black as Li Canglan’s.

What an embarrassing thing! Don’t you know that you are the Saint of the Great Void Sacred Ground?

Don’t you know that you represent the sacred ground?

I’ll kill you when we get back!

How embarrassing!

…

The Great Void Sacred Leader was so angry that his entire body was trembling, and his heart was cold.

For a mere Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, this sinful disciple did not even want the dignity of the Saint of the Great Void Sacred Ground?

Moreover, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill is a supreme treasure. Do you think that just because you said a few flattering words, others will give it to you? Can you use your brain!?

At this time, Shen Tian helplessly said, “Alright, Brother Wang, this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill is for you.”

How could he not know what Wang Shenxu was planning?

However, this guy did not even prepare a draft of his bragging.

You’re making me feel a little weak!

If this guy continued to brag, what if others really believed him?

At that time, all the evil gods would wield their sabers and come to cut him down since he was someone with the potential to become an Immortal Emperor. At that time, wouldn’t he be done for?

No, no, he had to make this guy shut up!

Shen Tian directly used the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to stop Wang Shenxu from continuing.

However, giving the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to Wang Shenxu was not a loss. After all, this guy was a Son of Providence with a purple halo above his head. If he could raise his strength, he could still make use of a few great opportunities in the future!

Not only did he get rid of this annoying fellow, but he also had a sheep to fleece!

The best of both worlds!

As expected of me!

I am truly too quick-witted!

…

The Great Void Sacred Leader was dumbfounded upon seeing his disciple obtain a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill after bootlicking the Divine Firmament Saint a few times.

After all, an astounding number of Sage artifacts had been used in exchange for a single Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

Yet, such a transcendent divine pill was gifted to his own vile disciple just like that?

Frankly speaking, the Great Void Sacred Leader felt that his…

His tongue suddenly felt itchy.
