I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Before the crowd recovered from their shock, another powerful aura radiated out. It was clear that a powerful practitioner was descending.

That aura was mighty and profound, like a massive churning tsunami, instantly grabbing everyone’s attention.

Everyone turned to see a young man slowly walking forward.

The person was dressed in a snow-white outfit. He was coldly handsome and exuded an extremely imperious air. His aura was as powerful as the sun as he radiated a dazzling divine glow, lighting up the entire arena.

“It’s His Highness Shi Tianzi!”

“He has also come!”

Someone called out, his eyes full of adoration.

Previously in the Human Compound, Shi Tianzi had personally conceded that he was not as good as the Divine Firmament Saint. He had even ceded his position as the top student of the Human Compound.

However, this did not have too much impact on Shi Tianzi’s reputation. After all, he was still an exceptional prodigy, and his battle prowess was far beyond a normal person’s.

Thus, it was natural that his appearance caused a stir.

Shi Tianzi drifted down to the ground, ignoring the stares of the crowd. He scanned the surroundings.

His gaze focused on Shen Tian, and his eyes glowed.

Shi Tianzi also heard the news of Shen Tian’s East Sea City battle results.

Shi Tianzi was unable to ascertain the truth behind those rumors, but he knew that Shen Tian was very powerful. It might be possible for him to battle a Great Sage.

This did not affect Shi Tianzi negatively. Instead, it ignited his competitive spirit!

He already held Shen Tian as his ultimate goal. He wanted to beat him.

The more powerful Shen Tian was, the more motivated he became!

Sensing Shi Tianzi’s gaze, Shen Tian nodded in acknowledgment as a radiant smile spread across his face.

This was because he had seen the purple mist churning in that deep purple providence halo of Shi Tianzi’s! It was like a fortuitous opportunity image was about to appear!

It was clear that given Shi Tianzi’s providence, he could definitely encounter a great fortuitous opportunity in the Supreme Sky Tree World.

This fat, juicy providence was finally ripe for the taking!

…

Soon after, the crowd was in another uproar.

The male prodigies in the Human Compound were especially excited—they were full of fire!

“It’s Fairy Qingyue!”

“She also came out of seclusion!”

Countless male prodigies couldn’t help cheering, their words filled with love and adoration.

“That woman has emerged too!”

Qi Zhan was somewhat curious.

Before Shi Tianzi and Shen Tian had joined Jixia Academy, his opponent had always been Fairy Qingyue.

However, Fairy Qingyue had never liked competition and remained in seclusion for long periods.

She was the stereotypical homely girl.

Qi Zhan never expected her to be lured out by the emergence of the Supreme Sky Tree.

Upon hearing the cheers, Shen Tian turned to look.

Not far off, a slender figure was walking over.

It was a female dressed in a luscious green dress. Her features were as exquisite as carved jade, her skin as fair as snow.

She exuded an elegant air—graceful, noble, aloof, and otherworldly.

She was like an unattainable fairy. One could only admire her from afar. Nothing could taint her.

All male prodigies were instantly bewitched the moment Fairy Qingyue appeared!

Not only was she very powerful, but she was also extremely beautiful. She was the revered goddess of all the male prodigies in the Human Compound!

Many female prodigies couldn’t resist lowering their heads in shame when they saw Fairy Qingyue.

This kind of woman should only exist in the heavens. How rare was it to find such a gorgeous female in this world!

Even Qi Zhan couldn’t resist scratching his head. “This woman might not be as beautiful as the females in my race, but she does have her own allure. She is worthy of Boss!”

Shen Tian, “…”

The crowd, “!?!?!?”

What kind of nonsense are you spouting?

Fairy Qingyue is not as beautiful as your female apes?

Are the monkey features of your female apes really comparable to Fairy Qingyue!?

Many prodigies quietly gnashed their teeth in annoyance upon hearing Qi Zhan’s words. If not for the fact that this ape was very powerful, they might have charged forward and given him a good beating!

This monkey’s beauty standards are so biased!

But the second part of his words is correct!

Everyone looked at Shen Tian before turning their eyes back to Fairy Qingyue. They couldn’t hold back the delighted gasp in their hearts.

This kind of fairy is definitely worthy of the Divine Firmament Saint!

The two of them had drop-dead-gorgeous looks and were also very powerful!

The two of them together would be like a match made in heaven!

Zhang Yunxi, Princess Linglong, and the other females gnashed their teeth as they stared daggers at Qi Zhan.

What did he mean by she’s worthy of Junior Brother?

How is she worthy?

I am the only one who is worthy of Brother Shen!

…

Qi Zhan felt a chill down his back and scratched his head in confusion. He had no idea what just happened.

Meanwhile, Fairy Qingyue was stepping gracefully over to Shen Tian.

When Fairy Qingyue saw Shen Tian’s face clearly, she couldn’t help being pleasantly surprised.

There is such an extraordinarily handsome man in this world!?

Fairy Qingyue was an abstemious person, and few things in this world could move her.

Nonetheless, she couldn’t help the emotions stirring in her heart after seeing Shen Tian. She blushed slightly.

Fairy Qingyue gave a small bow.

“Greetings, Junior Brother Shen Tian! Junior Brother Shen Tian is indeed powerful—to be able to kill the Evil Spirit Great Sage. You are truly an exceptional man!”

She was the fourth Saintess of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground. Her master was the Jade Lake Sacred Leader!

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader had messaged her previously, instructing her to establish good relations with Shen Tian. This was why she had taken the initiative to come over and greet him.

Shen Tian shook his head with a smile. “Senior Sister Qingyue is too kind. Those are just rumors. I only managed to chase off Great Sage Evil Fire. I did not kill him.”

He remained very modest as he explained.

It would not be good for him to be targeted.

After all, the hunter would shoot the bird that stuck out.

I would rather concentrate on my development.

…

Shen Tian was slightly taken aback. His eyes were fixed upon the spot above Fairy Qingyue’s head. This was because he had seen a dazzling purple providence halo sparkling above Fairy Qingyue’s head!

There was even a fortuitous opportunity image inside!

Shen Tian was delighted.

Here it comes! Another plump goose is here!

She is indeed the former number one student in the Human Compound. Her providence is so extraordinary, not that much weaker than Qi Zhan’s!

Shen Tian was thrilled. He had to make good use of this opportunity to leverage off her providence.

Fairy Qingyue’s blush deepened upon seeing that Shen Tian was staring at her.

Why is Junior Brother Shen Tian staring at me?

Don’t tell me…

For some unknown reason, Fairy Qingyue’s face turned even redder!

…

The Divine Firmament Saint was so famous that even Fairy Qingyue was friendly toward him. There was bound to be someone who felt displeased at this little scene.

“He’s just a junior but already has such a hot reputation. I bet it is just empty talk!”

It was a young man dressed in a fiery long robe, and there was a blazing sun emblem on his forehead. He was the first-generation Saint of the Nine Sun Sacred Ground.

The Nine Sun Sacred Ground had never gotten along with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

The First Nine Sun Saint felt very annoyed when he saw how famous the Divine Firmament Saint was.

He had adored Fairy Qingyue since forever. Thus, his jealousy raged uncontrollably when he saw his own goddess getting so close to Shen Tian.

That was why he had stepped forward to pick on Shen Tian.

The First Nine Sun Saint did not believe that Shen Tian had the power to kill a Great Sage.

None of the first-generation Saints from the various sacred grounds had this level of battle prowess. And Shen Tian was just the 10th Generation Divine Firmament Saint?

Did they really think that Great Sages are like garbage? They can be killed off just like that?

Those who managed to reach Great Sage-level were all old freaks who had lived for several thousands of years. In addition, they had all been top prodigies when they were young.

Could a junior kill such a formidable Great Sage in his 20s?

Where did all those thousands of years of cultivation go?

The First Nine Sun Saint believed that Shen Tian was just exaggerating to gain the crowd’s favor.

Shen Tian did not care. There were too many people jealous of him. He couldn’t possibly try and reason with every single one of them.

Before he could say anything, the prodigies around him exploded in rage.

“Punk, what did you say?”

Qi Zhan’s monkey temper had always been bad. How could he possibly endure others slandering Shen Tian?

He already treated Shen Tian as his boss. He was full of respect for him!

Moreover, even the Sacred Battle Thearch had urged him to establish good relations with Shen Tian.

Whether it was of his own volition or because of his ancestor’s wishes, he had to protect Shen Tian’s reputation.

Qi Zhan stepped out and glared viciously at the First Nine Sun Saint. His body radiated with surging battle intent.

The First Nine Sun Saint shuddered from being oppressed by Qi Zhan’s dark-red battle intent!

Qi Zhan was the former top student of the Demon Compound, after all. His cultivation level was even more terrifying now after the latest enhancement.

And the First Nine Sun Saint was just amongst the top ten of the Human Compound Prodigy List. He was no match for Qi Zhan!

Subdued by Qi Zhan, the First Nine Sun Saint couldn’t even speak!

“Junior, you have gone too far!”

A surging aura spread over at this moment, instantly dispelling Qi Zhan’s aura.

A middle-aged man walked over, looking very cold and malevolent. There were three blazing sun emblems on his forehead.

The First Generation Nine Sun Saint looked delighted at the sight of that man. “Master!”

This man was the Nine Sun Sacred Leader!

“Damn, old man, you want to interfere?”

Even though the Nine Sun Sacred Leader had appeared, Qi Zhan was not afraid.

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader’s eyes narrowed since a junior was challenging him. He snorted. “This has nothing to do with your Golden Eyed Fire Ape race, right?”

The Golden Eyed Fire Ape race was no pushover in Middle Ground. Their status was even above that of the Nine Sun Sacred Ground.

However, that was just the power of the race. It did not represent Qi Zhan’s true abilities.

After all, the Nine Sun Sacred Leader was a sacred leader and had lived for over 1,000 years. He was already a Great Sage.

It was only natural that he had little regard for a junior like Qi Zhan.

Nevertheless, the Nine Sun Sacred Leader still didn’t wish to blow things up out of respect for the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race.

“The Divine Firmament Saint is my Boss. So, of course it is my business! You are slandering Boss, how can I endure that?”

Qi Zhan no longer cared about the consequences. He stubbornly demanded redress!

“How dare you! You are just a junior but dare to behave so rudely in front of me!?”

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader was enraged. This Qi Zhan had no regard for him at all!

His aura churned as terrifying energy erupted from his body. It was as if he wanted to subdue the entire arena!

“So what if I am rude? Don’t even think of leaving unless you can provide a good explanation!”

Qi Zhan was also enraged. His battle blood was boiling as terrifying waves of battle intent spread out of his body. His rise in cultivation level was now clear for all to see.

Qi Zhan was a Three Tribulation Sage, but his aura was not inferior to that of the Nine Sun Sacred Leader!

Everyone was thunderstruck by the sight!

“What? When did Qi Zhan break through to become a Three Tribulation Sage?”

“Wasn’t he just a peak Demon Venerable a short while ago?”

“How did his cultivation level increase so quickly after just one trip to East Sea City?”

“Qi Zhan was able to defeat a Five Tribulation True Sage when he was a peak Demon Heavenly Venerable. Now that he is a Three Tribulation Sage, he can probably hold himself against a Great Sage!”

“So the East Sea City rumors are indeed true!”

“It looks like the Divine Firmament Saint can really kill a Great Sage!”

“The Nine Sun Sacred Leader dared to challenge the Divine Firmament Saint. I am afraid that that would be his misfortune!”

…

Everyone was stunned.

Ascending from a peak Demon Venerable to become a Three Tribulation Sage in just a few months’ time. It was unbelievable!

Could this ape have swallowed some Immortal herb? Even a Thearch herb would not be so potent!

Rising by three stages in just a few months’ time? And to the Sage level?

Too terrifying!

Someone realized something and shouted, “I say, do you guys think that Qi Zhan encountered some exceptional fortuitous opportunity in East Sea City?”

Only an exceptional fortuitous opportunity could induce such an evolution!

Someone replied, “I know, it must be because of the Divine Firmament Saint!”

“The Divine Firmament Saint is the ultimate Son of Providence. He has a peerless providence!”

“Qi Zhan met the Divine Firmament Saint in East Sea City, and the Saint’s providence rubbed off on him. This is how Qi Zhan managed to improve his cultivation level by so much!”

The more they thought about it, the more shocked everyone became. They were all convinced of this point of view.

This was the only explanation that made sense!

Qi Zhan didn’t try to hide the fact. “You are right. It is because of Boss that I managed to improve so much!

“You guys dare to slander Boss? It is as good as slandering me!

“Nine Sun Sacred Leader, do you want to fight?”

The Nine Sun’s Sacred Leader stiffened slightly.

He didn’t expect Qi Zhan to be so stubborn in trying to protect Shen Tian’s reputation. He was now unable to extricate himself from this situation!

“How dare you! Don’t blame me for bullying a junior then!”

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader hollered angrily as his aura churned, unleashing a terrifying force.

He was a powerful senior practitioner who was nearly 2,000 years old. He was an Eight Tribulation Great Sage and extremely powerful!

How could he tolerate being belittled by a junior?

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader snorted coldly. “I will help your elders teach you a good lesson today!”

His whole body glowed like the blazing sun, possessing an endless and terrifying aura.

Eight Tribulation Great Sage—this was an indomitable existence!

“Old man, you are truly shameless. Your junior is too weak, and so you are helping him!”

Qi Zhan was also enraged. As a Sacred Battle Ape, he had never feared anyone before. He would battle even an Eight Tribulation Great Sage.

“I think this old man is just jealous of Brother Shen!”

“Not only is their younger generation jealous of Brother Shen, but even the powerful senior practitioners are jealous!”

“What a disgrace!”

Wang Shenxu’s mocking voice drifted over.

The crowd, “…”

This fellow had such a venomous tongue!

He dared to insult an Eight Tribulation Great Sage?

Given his foul mouth, he must be one lucky fellow if he hadn’t been beaten to death before!

Wang Shenxu’s words were like adding fuel to the fire. The Nine Sun Sacred Leader became even more incensed!

“Alright, I want to see just how good you are!”

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader reached out one hand and formed a blazing golden sun, shooting it straight toward Qi Zhan.

Qi Zhan’s eyes hardened. The Nine Sun Sacred Leader was powerful, even more, powerful than Great Sage Evil Fire!

Even with the great increase in his cultivation level, he could not afford to view this battle lightly!

A dark-red battle intent burst forth from Qi Zhan’s golden fur!

His battle armor and staff appeared, making him look like an invincible god of battle. He looked all ready to go on an all-out war with the Nine Sun Sacred Leader!

But then, a coarse voice rang out. It was like a thunderous boom, causing everyone’s ears to ring from the intense vibration.

“Who dares to attack my little monkey?”

A massive golden-colored ape suddenly charged over from the side, bringing an exceedingly violent force of energy with him.

The massive golden-colored ape waved his huge fist, which magnified with a golden glow and immense power.

The golden fist smashed down, bringing with it an intense pressure as if a primordial divine mountain had landed.

Boom!

A loud explosion resounded!

The golden fist clashed with the blazing sun, igniting an earth-shattering explosion.

A terrifying aura erupted like a mighty hurricane, completely alarming the entire crowd.

The eyes of countless people were filled with shock.

Is this what a Great Sage-level battle is like?

Too terrifying!

…

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader’s attack was destroyed. The blazing golden sun dissolved into sparks and disappeared!

His body shuddered while his hands trembled as if he had endured an indomitable force!

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader’s face hardened as he focused on the sight before him.

A massive, mighty golden ape had appeared in front of him.

The huge golden ape was covered in fur as hard as steel needles. His aura was wild and uncontrollable as if he was a violent king of battle.

The appearance of this ape was major pressure on him!

Qi Zhan was delighted. “Grandad, you have come?”

That’s right. This huge ape was the current leader of the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race—Qi Delong!

“You have become increasingly bold. You only know how to stir up trouble wherever you go!

“And this time, you even dared to go against this old fellow?

“Did you think you could have withstood that if I didn’t come?”

Qi Delong patted Qi Zhan’s head with a doting expression on his face.

“Hehe!”

Qi Zhan scratched his head with a foolish grin.

Qi Delong was not only the leader of the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race, but he was also his grandfather. He did not dare to talk back.

Qi Delong then snorted. “But this is the correct way of our race! We will beat up whoever dares to provoke us!”

Qi Delong doted on Qi Zhan very much. After all, he was the only Sacred Battle Ape of his race.

The Golden Eyed Fire Ape race possessed the bloodline of the Sacred Battle Ape. They were naturally combative and never feared anyone!

“Old man, you wanted to bully a junior. Why don’t you spar with me instead?”

Qi Delong turned his attention toward the Nine Sun Sacred Leader, his eyes full of battle intent.

His aura was surging wildly, unleashing the power of an Eight Tribulation Great Sage to the maximum level. He was like an invincible god of battle!

Qi Delong was the leader of the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race and was powerful beyond measure!

“Qi Delong, are you determined to fight me?”

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader looked very grim. It was not that he feared Qi Delong.

The two of them were Eight Tribulation Great Sages and had comparable battle prowess.

A Golden Eyed Fire Ape was extremely combative and would be a very challenging opponent.

It was true that if the battle dragged on, he might not be a match for Qi Delong.

Both sides might end up grievously injured!

He might even be defeated…

Ahem~

But the main reason was the appearance of the Supreme Sky Tree. He did not wish to miss out on this fortuitous opportunity.

“Would I be afraid of you?”

Qi Delong sneered at him!

He also had Sacred Battle Ape blood in him. Although it had not been activated, he still had the same raging battle intent.

This bloodline had always been combative. They had no idea what fear meant!

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader snorted. “I don’t want to waste my time with you!”

He did not fear Qi Delong, but he did not wish to stir up too much trouble.

“Oh? You provoked Shen Tian. It is as good as provoking my race!

“Shen Tian is an esteemed ally of my race. It is as good as an insult to the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race when you bully him!

“Apologize to Shen Tian. Otherwise, I will smash you with my staff!”

Qi Delong snorted as he glared at the Nine Sun Sacred Leader.

Qi Zhan had already notified Qi Delong the moment he had returned. He had even told him all about the Sacred Battle Abode and Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

Qi Delong had been extremely excited by his news.

It was a major cause for celebration that his race could have two more Sacred Battle Apes!

And this was all thanks to Shen Tian!

Qi Delong had lived for several thousands of years. Of course he understood the Sacred Battle Thearch’s intention.

As such, he had also decided to establish good relations with Shen Tian. It was just that he hadn’t had the time!

There was no way Qi Delong would give up on this good chance to curry favor with Shen Tian now!

The Nine Sun Sacred Leader’s face stiffened. He did not expect Qi Delong to be so stubborn!

Don’t tell me he really wants to battle me?

Everyone was shocked!

The Golden Eyed Fire Ape race was very highly regarded in Middle Ground. They were one of the top authorities!

And now their leader had proclaimed that Shen Tian was the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race’s esteemed ally!

…

Could it be that Shen Tian has signed a contract with Qi Zhan and become the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race’s human partner!?

There has never been a monkey knight in the five regions before!
