I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 259 Shen Tian Meets Li Canglan For The First Time

Chapter 259 Shen Tian Meets Li Canglan For The First Time


At the seventh level of the G.o.d of War platform, facing the Seven-Star Prodigy on the G.o.d of War platform...


Shen Tian was dressed in his Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor and shrouded in lightning. He looked like a young deity descended onto the earth.


Standing in front of him was a big, burly man with a divine axe in his hand. His aura was majestic and full of power.


This was a Celestial World Seven-Star Prodigy from the Heavenly Executioner race. He was best at refining the physical body and strength-based techniques. His battle style was violent and savage to the extreme.


To be honest, Shen Tian was feeling immense pressure just by standing in front of him.


His G.o.dfiend Golden Body was completely invulnerable to any blade, drowning waters, and burning fires. This fellow’s Golden Body had clearly been refined more than once. His physique was even more powerful than Shen Tian’s!


Shen Tian struck out with his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer covered in First Essence Heavy Water with all his might. He swung wildly over 100 times before he finally managed to subdue his opponent.


It was the most challenging same-level prodigy Shen Tian had ever faced.


“Heavenly Wilderness 36 Hammers: Star-Smashing Hammer!”


The lightning on his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer shimmered as if a star had fallen onto earth.


Boom!


A huge divine hammer shattered the giant axe in the hands of the burly man from the Heavenly Executioner race before smashing straight into his body.


A loud boom could be heard as if the mountains were crumbling down. Under the divine hammer, the burly man from the Heavenly Executioner race dissolved into cl.u.s.ters of light.


“I didn’t expect a Seven-Star Prodigy to be so much stronger than the rest. This fellow’s battle prowess is much more powerful than those before.”


After storing his Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer, Shen Tian couldn’t help wiping off some sweat from his forehead.


The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had been welcoming the various powers from around over the past two days. Shen Tian had not been idling either.


He had always been well aware that despite being armed to the teeth with treasures, his battle experience was far below that of the other prodigies.


As a result, he had gone into the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da to take full advantage of the projections of those prodigies. It was free for him anyway. Ye Qingcang did not resent his “freeloading”. On the contrary, he patiently guided Shen Tian on how to strengthen his battle experience. In Ye Qingcang’s eyes, Shen Tian had learned many powerful skills, but they were all in a mess. Instead of continuing to learn more powerful techniques, it was better for him to refine what he had first.


As a result, under the guidance of Ye Qingcang, Shen Tian spent the past two days strengthening his control over his skills.


He started with the Six-Star Prodigies first. He would compete with the Celestial World’s Winged race in terms of speed with his Feather Immortal Metal.


He would compete with the Celestial World’s Spring race in terms of vine control with his Divine Devouring Vine. He would compete with the Celestial World’s Ocean race with his Heavy Water.


He would compete with the Celestial World’s Fire race with his Nan Ming Li Fire. He would compete with the Lightning race with his Mixed Divine Lightning.


During these battles with those prodigies, Shen Tian would seal off his other abilities on purpose. When sparring with an opponent, he would only use the skills which that particular opponent was best at.


In the end, he had... suffered terrible defeats.


How terrible? Well, Shen Tian’s Golden Body was so thrashed that it had cracked.


In another three to five days’ time, he would successfully undergo his first Golden Body refinement.


In Ye Qingcang’s wise old words, this was called: “Whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.”


Of course, Shen Tian strongly suspected that Ye Qingcang was just finding an excuse to see him beaten up into such a wretched state.


After all, every time he was being thrashed, that sly old fox would be below the platform watching.


Snacking on popcorn and grinning happily.


But regardless, Shen Tian’s battle experience did improve by leaps and bounds after his relentless sparring sessions with these prodigies.


As a result, his battle abilities improved at a mind-blowing rate.


Even Ye Qingcang was secretly shocked at this young man’s speed of improvement. At his current level, the moment Shen Tian broke the seals on all his powers and techniques, most of the Seven-Star Prodigies in the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da would no longer be a match for him.


They would just suffer a great thrashing under him.


After all, Shen Tian’s battle style was just too comprehensive. No matter what type of prodigy he met, he would have a way to counter and defeat them. For example, the prodigy from the Heavenly Executioner race-Shen Tian used the Divine Devouring Vine to restrain him first. He then used the First Essence Heavy Water to enhance his power before using his hammer to smash him to bits.


“You punk. You pulverized one of my Seven-Star Prodigies. So violent.”


Ye Qingcang executed some hand seals with an aching heart and absorbed those golden cl.u.s.ters of light back to the paG.o.da.


Shen Tian smiled. “There is unlimited healing here, isn’t there? Does the paG.o.da have any Seven-Star Prodigies who are more powerful?”


Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes. “It’s enough. You have already beaten dozens of Six- and Seven-Star Prodigies these past few days. Know when to be content.


“Go back. Summarize and reflect on everything. Thoroughly absorb all those battle experiences. It will be better than cultivating in seclusion for 100 years.


“Don’t get too greedy. Too much of a good thing can be bad. It will also be a waste of Spirit Stones.”


Shen Tian wiped his sweat. He seriously suspected that Ye Qingcang’s last sentence was the main reason.


“Alright, I will go back to rest. I will also go into seclusion and finish refining my Golden Body.”


Shen Tian hung his hammer back on his waist and mentally recited the command to be teleported out of the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da. His training was thus completed.


The sunlight outside the paG.o.da once again shone on Shen Tian’s body.


At that moment, in the eyes of countless folk, even the sun itself had lost its l.u.s.ter.


This was because Shen Tian, garbed in his Longyuan Divine Armor, looked just too handsome and dashing, completely heart-stopping.


His dazzling golden divine battle armor, his avatar, which radiated with a powerful aura, and that perfect face-every single inch of Shen Tian was enough to make a man ashamed of his own flaws and drive a woman crazy.


Suddenly, everyone started whispering furiously to each other.


Many sect disciples even surged toward him.


“Is this the Divine Firmament Saint, Senior Brother Shen Tian? I am finally seeing him with my own eyes. Love him, love him!”


“I heard that the Divine Firmament Saint is extremely good-looking. Now that I have seen him in person, he’s even more handsome than they say!” “Having finally seen the Divine Firmament Saint, I now understand the term heartbreakingly handsome!”


“Senior Brother Qingyun, I want to call off our engagement! Why? Because I have met my true love. If you truly love me, I hope that you will support me.”


“Your Highness, Divine Firmament Saint. I heard that you ventured deep into the Primordial Battlefield and brought back the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da. Could you share the story of your adventure?”


“Your Highness, Divine Firmament Saint, I heard that only a Seven-Star Prodigy would be worthy enough to gain the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da’s acknowledgment and bring it out.”


“But your name is not on the G.o.d of War Tablet. I wonder if you can offer an explanation?”


“Your Highness, Divine Firmament Saint. I heard that those disciples who are your close friends could enjoy a 30% discount at the paG.o.da?”


“Isn’t this unfair to the other disciples?”


Huh?


Shen Tian couldn’t help feeling flabbergasted at the swarm of men and women crowding around him.


When did a bunch of paparazzi appear in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?


These fellows must be treated with caution. After all, Shen Tian was the young Saint of an upright and n.o.ble cultivation sect. He couldn’t just blow all these guys away with a single “Mixed Divine Lightning Fist”, right?


Luckily, Song Fugui and the rest had also hurried over at that moment.


“Everyone, please step aside. Senior Brother Shen Tian has just finished his training and needs his rest.”


“Where are you guys from? Show us your sect token. You can direct any questions to us.”


The disciples from the Favored Ones blocked those paparazzi to the side and segregated them from Shen Tian.


Shen Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief.


However, Shen Tian soon felt that something was not quite right. He could feel the sword intent inside his body starting to bubble in agitation. It was like a powerful divine sword was now flying straight toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.


He lifted his head slowly.


Somehow, all the clouds toward the east side of the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da had gathered together.


Those thick, roiling white clouds had gathered into the shape of a long sword and exuded a sharp, harsh sword aura, which ripped the fabric of the surrounding s.p.a.ce.


If one’s Sword Dao level was high enough, they could even detect the gathering of sword intent in the skies.


It was like a surging river, a towering waterfall.


A powerful sword intent like this definitely did not belong to your usual sword cultivator.


It was clear that some Sword Immortal was descending


Shen Tian was not the only one who felt that something was not quite right.


All Nascent Soul and above cultivators in the Divine Firmament Small World and its surroundings could feel that immense pressure.


It was not a targeted pressure. It was just the aura exuded by an extremely powerful pract.i.tioner-an aura that could make a weaker pract.i.tioner feel threatened.


It was like a lamb standing in front of a majestic lion. Even if the lion had no intention of killing and eating it, the lamb would still feel an instinctive fear and suppression.


One by one, figures appeared around the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da. They were the leaders and elders of the various grotto-heavens and blessed-lands.


They had appeared not just to gawk at all the action but as a sign of respect for that sword.


Finally, that vague and ominous sword intent started to expand.


The swords in the hands and tied to the backs of countless disciples started to vibrate gently.


Quite a number of the divine swords just directly flew out of their scabbards and landed on the ground, facing the east and vibrating.


It was like they were paying respect to their great lord.


At that moment, everyone was sure that it was him. It was him! It was definitely him!


The number one Sword Dao talent in Eastern Wilderness for the past 3,000 years-Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan! He was from the Grand White Grotto-Heaven and ranked third on the Eastern Wilderness Soul Formation rankings.


It was said that he should have been able to transcend onto the Sage stage, but he felt that his Sword Dao still needed refinement. Thus, he was forcibly delaying his ascension.


The day when he finally underwent the tribulation and became a Sage, he might become the number one Sword Sage!


This was just a Heavenly Venerable from a grotto-heaven, but even the Sacred Leaders from the sacred grounds would have to treat this swordsman with respect and humility.


A figure dressed in a sackcloth gradually appeared on the far horizon.


When he appeared, he was still about 100 miles away from the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da. But one could still see his vague outline.


But with just one step, aided by tens of thousands of sword shadows, he appeared right in front of the paG.o.da.


At that point, this swordsman in the sackcloth was the absolute center of the entire world. His aura subdued everyone, and even Shen Tian felt very suppressed.


At that moment, all the Supremacies and Heavenly Venerables from the various grotto-heavens and blessed-lands all stepped forward to welcome this swordsman.


“Sword Venerable Long River, it has been decades since we last met. Your sword intent has become more formidable than ever before.”


“This sword intent is like a surging channel of water, like the unstoppable gush of the Yellow River.”


“Sword Venerable, my son loves Sword Dao. I wonder if he will have the honor of learning under you. I am willing to compensate you generously.”


Li Canglan’s eyes remained impa.s.sive as everyone offered their respectful greetings and high praises.


His eyes were fixed on the towering purple paG.o.da.


He murmured to himself, “This dilapidated paG.o.da is the legendary G.o.d of War PaG.o.da? That year when I entered the Primordial Battlefield for training, I didn’t get to meet this paG.o.da. It was one of my greatest regrets. Never expected that I would have another chance today to fulfill my dream.”


Li Canglan suddenly felt something.


He gazed toward Shen Tian, and his eyes gradually hardened.
