Chapter 242 Ye Qingcang’s Prank
Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance’s and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus’ jaws dropped upon seeing the mountain of gains.
Frankly speaking, they were dumbstruck.
Even 1,000 years ago, First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, the golden-generation twin prodigies of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, had not obtained this much from entering the Primordial Battlefield when they were in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Looks like Senior Brother Sacred Leader is right. Shen Tian is indeed the lucky star of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground given by the deities.
When he completely matures, how would the sacred ground not prosper?
“Tian’er, you’ve done very well!”
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus looked at Shen Tian with a smile and said, “You’ve been in the trial for so many days, so you must definitely be tired. Return to your room and take a rest!
“Two hours later, the sects will ring the bell to announce the final results. Wear something formal then.
“Since you’re our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saint, you’ll definitely obtain the first place in this trial!”
What Heavenly Venerable White Lotus said did not upset Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance since Xiao Ling was also one of the Saintess candidates in the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, her talent was also astonishing.
However, as compared to Shen Tian, even her Connate Spirit Const.i.tution seemed to pale in comparison. In addition, Shen Tian had stopped the Evil Spirit Sect’s scheme, which allowed the sacred grounds to directly capture the Evil Spirit Sect’s Saint and many higher-ups. No one could ignore such a contribution! It could be said that with just this one battle, Shen Tian’s chance of winning the fight for the Sacred Leader position increased greatly!
The first place of this trial undoubtedly belonged to Shen Tian.
“Thank you, Aunt-Master. I’ll take my leave.”
Shen Tian bade Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus farewell and went straight to his temporary sleeping quarters.
He did not allow others to follow, or else he would get annoyed by Song Fugui’s, Liu Taiyi’s, and others’ flattering shenanigans.
Of course, that was not the main reason.
Shen Tian walked into his sleeping quarters alone and activated the array formation within. As such, no one’s divine consciousness could infiltrate into his sleeping quarters.
A man then gradually walked out from the dark.
He looked heroic as he wore the Longyuan Divine Armor, and his whole body was releasing a powerful aura.
More importantly, this man’s appearance was identical to Shen Tian-his handsomeness was unparalleled!
“You’ve returned?”
“I’ve returned.”
“Your gains were bountiful.”
“That’s because you controlled well from a distance.”
“After merging with the Feather Immortal Metal and Pure Reincarnation Earth, you’ve become even more handsome?”
“You’re flattering me. It’s because your genes are good, so you’re more handsome.”
“The trial has ended, so come back. Merge into my body. It might be slightly painful, endure it.”
A blood-red golden ball of light gradually fused with another handsome figure in a covert corner of the room.
As that ball of blood successfully merged, the aura of that handsome figure turned even more powerful than before!
Upon sensing the surge of Mixed Five Elements energy that was so powerful it could not be compared to before, Shen Tian smiled.
At last! My clone has successfully returned, and this battlefield trial has finally ended.
At that moment, a playful voice sounded behind Shen Tian.
“Oh, so finally back to the original body?”
Shen Tian felt a chill down his spine, and he hurriedly turned around.
He saw a tiny purple paG.o.da floating behind him that was spinning slowly.
“You’re quite timid. You actually used a clone to enter the Primordial Battlefield’s trial.” Ye Qingcang’s voice carried a teasing tone.
Shen Tian reluctantly replied, “Well, safety is first! Please excuse my cowardice.”
Ye Qingcang’s figure gradually appeared, and he stared straight at Shen Tian. “I knew. Why do you think I directly chose you as the master of the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da?”
Shen Tian was slightly stunned. “Senior, what do you mean?”
Ye Qingcang grinned. “I have already noticed that it was your clone the moment you entered the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da. That body only has part of your true strength. It’s only the clone you controlled from afar. It’s also the reason why I directly gave you the evaluation of a Seven-Star Prodigy. It’s not because I was biased.”
Shen Tian became vigilant. “Then why didn’t you expose me? Why are you telling me only now?”
Ye Qingcang laughed and said, “If I directly exposed you, then given your timid personality, would you still dare to become the master of the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da and bring it to your true body?”
Shen Tian’s blood ran cold.
“What-what do you mean?”
The G.o.d of War PaG.o.da enveloped the whole room in a brilliant purple light.
Ye Qingcang looked at Shen Tian. “You have five extraordinary items within you, but there’s no conflict between them at all. I like such a body very much. Hahahaha, from today onward, your body will be mine!” f.u.c.k, this old man is a villain!?
A cold shiver ran down Shen Tian’s spine before he instantly activated the extraordinary items within him.
Metal enhances Water, Water nourishes Wood, Wood feeds Fire, Fire creates Earth, Earth
forms Metal!
The Five Elements’ power crazily surged toward the Executing Heaven Sword within Shen Tian’s lung.
Clang!
An unprecedented loud and clear clanging sound echoed.
The blood-red light aura that seemed to be able to slice through anything was slashed toward Ye Qingcang and the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da.
Ye Qingcang’s eyes revealed his admiration toward Shen Tian as he slowly raised his right hand.
“Your sword is not bad, but it’s a pity your swordsmanship is too poor.” Although Shen Tian had the Divine Sword Const.i.tution, he had not learned any sword techniques before.
When dealing with ordinary people, his slash was an irresistible force, but it was far from being able to threaten Ye Qingcang.
The index and middle fingers of Ye Qingcang’s right hand shone with faint purple light as if they were purple jades.
Clang!
That blood-red sword aura was directly gripped by Ye Qingcang’s fingers, unable to move an inch.
“Is this your true power?” Ye Qingcang sneered and said, “You’re still far too weak. If this is your full strength, then I’ll take your body.”
Upon sensing an extremely powerful pressure, the five-elemental extraordinary items and Mixed Divine Lightning within Shen Tian became unprecedentedly active.
His physical body shone with a brilliant golden light as if he was Buddha himself.
The five-elemental extraordinary items’ energy also shone on Shen Tian’s body, making his Executing Heaven Sword shine even brighter.
Shen Tian also equipped the Longyuan Divine Armor, making him even stronger.
Although Ye Qingcang’s eyes betrayed astonishment, he still used his palm to smash the Executing Heaven Sword’s strikes.
Clang! The impact on Shen Tian’s right hand from the collision resulted in the Executing Heaven Sword falling to the ground, while the blood-red aura disappeared.
He’s too powerful! This old ghost from the Celestial World is just too strong.
Even if Shen Tian had used all of his strength, he could not put up a fight against him at all.
Shen Tian secretly took the Sacred Leader Token out of his Archeon Sea Ring, planning to directly activate the power stored in the token. However, just as he wanted to activate the array formation, he discovered that there was no reaction from the Sacred Leader Token at all. It had been sealed!
“Not bad.” Ye Qingcang looked at Shen Tian. “You’re already counted as the top prodigy of the mortal world. It’s reasonable to evaluate you as a seven-star prodigy.
“However you’re still too weak as compared to when I was young. I only used my Golden Body cultivation to battle with you just now.
“I hope you stop setting those mediocre people in the mortal world as your goal. Follow me as your model and work hard! “Your test will end here! Next time when I’m free, I’ll test you again anytime.”
Test!?
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. “What test? You-you, didn’t you want to steal my body?”
Ye Qingcang revealed a playful smile. “You’re keeping such a low profile, even acting while fighting with your Master’s projection.
“If I didn’t say that, would you use your full strength when fighting me? Then how would I know what’s your true power? “You even hid a clone and did not want to tell me. I am your G.o.d-grandfather! What have I not seen in the Celestial World?
“So I played a prank on you this time, see if you dare to hide anything from me in the future!”
Shen Tian, “...”
Played a prank?
F*ck you! Is there someone who would joke with stealing one’s body?
You’re already a mighty being from the Celestial World! Are you that free to play a joke with such a young and handsome me?
You have such bad taste in jokes!
If this was my world’s 21st century, you would definitely not live to see the next sunrise!
Shen Tian looked at Ye Qingcang in doubt. “That means, you-you don’t plan to steal my body?”
“You’ve read too many soap opera books!” Ye Qingcang rolled his eyes. “Steal your body? Do you think it’s that simple to find a compatible body? Just take a look at your weird const.i.tution that enables you to safely integrate the five-elemental extraordinary items. If I really stole your body, who knows what would happen! So just put your heart at ease!”
Shen Tian looked at Ye Qingcang with resentment. “You old thing, you darn old thing actually scared me!” Ye Qingcang smirked and said, “Haha, I’m teaching you the evils of human nature. Or else, you might be deceived by that kid, Chu Longhe.”
Shen Tian gnashed his teeth. “Did you really use your Golden Body cultivation to fight me just now?”
Ye Qingcang said proudly, “Duh! Do you think that with the astonishing talent that I have, the Golden Body realm is not enough to bear you up?”
Shen Tian asked suspiciously, “Early- or late-stage Golden Body? First or Second Refinement Realm?”
Ye Qingcang’s face turned slightly red. “Cough, cough, that’s not important. Anyway, you just need to remember that you’re still far from being invincible against those of the same stage. You need to continue working hard. “The ‘Sky-Smashing Palm’ I used just now is perfect to be used with your extraordinary items, so do you want to learn it?” Upon seeing that Ye Qingcang was obviously trying to change the topic, Shen Tian said coldly, “No.”
Ye Qingcang had already held his head high and prepared to reply, “If you want to learn, then recognize me as your G.o.d-grandfather and beg me!”
He never expected that Shen Tian would directly reject him. His expression instantly turned extremely interesting.
This kid actually dared to reject my offer!
“You-you, how is it possible that you’re not interested!? It’s one of my ultimate techniques!”
Shen Tian was still cold. “So what? I don’t care.”
Ye Qingcang flew into a rage. “You’re humiliating me and my ultimate technique! Do you know that kid Chu Longhe had begged me for half a month 1,000 years ago and called me his G.o.dfather? Even so, I did not teach him!”
Shen Tian took a glance at Ye Qingcang. “Oh? So what?”
What Sky-Smashing Palm, so what if it’s powerful?
You actually pretended to want to s.n.a.t.c.h my body and scared me!
But you wrap it in nice-sounding phrases, such as wanting me to know the evils of human nature.
At last, Shen Tian knew why Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had wanted to recognize this guy as his G.o.dfather.
They were simply the same kind of people! Frankly speaking, Shen Tian held a grudge. If it was not for there was no opportunity image above this old thing’s head, Shen Tian would definitely s.n.a.t.c.h his fortuitous opportunities until he started questioning life itself. Shen Tian had to let him know the malice of the cultivation world!
Shen Tian was originally elated due to his bountiful gain and the trial’s end, but after being suddenly frightened by Ye Qingcang, he was completely astounded.
Shen Tian could guarantee that the reason Ye Qingcang had been hunted down in the Celestial World was definitely not because he was handsome.
Definitely not!
