Chapter 429: Outstanding Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!
The light behind Eunuch Gui shone even more brightly, and the six blazing suns were like a furnace, heating up the surroundings!
He walked forward in mid-air as he stepped on the blazing divine rainbow. It was an extremely dazzling scene as he dashed toward that 21st Spirit Mountain.
“The Nine Sun Saint is charging toward the 21st Saint Mountain!”
“Can he really do it?”
Everyone was astonished as they stared at Eunuch Gui.
Eunuch Gui cultivated the Imperial Sutra of Sun, which was originally from the source of the Nine Sun Battle Sutra. The Nine Sun Battle Sutra was but a branch out created from the Imperial Sutra of Sun.
The Imperial Sutra of Sun was the legitimate one, so it was naturally easier to shock others with the strength it unleashed.
Therefore, all the prodigies thought that Eunuch Gui was the Nine Sun Saint!
The real Nine Sun Saint’s mouth twitched vigorously. He was on the brink of tears as he looked at the fake Saint, who was even stronger than him.
Boom!
The radiant light shone in all directions!
Eunuch Gui shot the six suns toward the 21st Spirit Mountain like shooting stars!
At that instant, light from those suns soared into the sky and blinded everyone!
The Spirit Mountain emitted a resplendent light that contained the laws of heaven and earth, unleashing a mighty aura that filled the air.
Rays of colored divine light enveloped the Spirit Mountain. It formed a Milky Way screen, which hung down from the top of the mountain, isolating the Spirit Mountain from everything else.
The blazing hot sun collided with the light, and endless waves of aura formed, even shaking the laws!
The prodigies all frowned. “Even that can’t breach it?”
Eunuch Gui had unleashed formidable strength. It was on par with a full-out strike by a Peak-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator from Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.
Even so, the 21st Spirit Mountain’s formation was still not broken through?
The Nine Sun Saint heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank G.o.d, thank G.o.d.”
The Nine Sun Saint was worried that if Eunuch Gui really broke through the formation, those old fossils from the sacred ground would directly revoke his Saint’s position. Afterward, they would invite this fake Saint, who only G.o.d knew where he had appeared to the sacred ground.
Since the battle prowess Eunuch Gui revealed was just too powerful, the Nine Sun Saint felt ashamed of his inferiority and felt that his position was hanging by a thread.
However, afterward, Nine Sun Saint was dumbfounded, and his body started trembling.
That was because he saw that Eunuch Gui had not given up. Instead, he took out a longsword which was covered in golden light.
The longsword shone brightly as it was enveloped in Sun Fire and emitted a fearsome aura!
As if sensing the power of that longsword, the Nine Sun Saint was speechless. “It can’t be. He also has a Sage artifact?”
The Nine Sun Saint was in disbelief—Eunuch Gui also had a Sage artifact!
Also, it was a Sage sword that was compatible with his cultivation technique and could maximize the increase in his battle strength!
One had to know that as the Saint of the Nine Sun Sacred Ground, he did not have a Sagee artifact.
However, this fake Saint in front of him actually had a Sage longsword!
Frankly speaking, the Nine Sun Saint was envious!
As a Saint, he had lost to even a nameless person!
How could this be!?
...
At that moment, the other prodigies also had similar thoughts.
Sage artifacts were not commonplace cabbages but a scarce resource!
Even the Saints of the sacred grounds would not be given a Sage artifact too early.
Therefore, everyone was all the more convinced that Eunuch Gui was the Nine Sun Saint. After all, only a Saint could have a Sage artifact. If he was not the Saint, how was it possible that he could have such a powerful Sage artifact?
That was the only reasonable explanation!
In fact, this Blazing Sun Sacred Sword in Eunuch Gui’s hands was something Shen Tian had obtained from the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb!
The Golden Crow Thearch had even given the Immortal Abode Island Token to Shen Tian, so the treasures within the tomb naturally belonged to him.
Thus, Shen Tian had found that sword from within a huge pile of the Golden Crow Thearch’s treasures.
That sword was quite useless to Shen Tian as he originally had the Purple-Green Double Swords and Executing Heaven Sword.
Therefore, he had directly given the Blazing Sun Sacred Sword to Eunuch Gui as he was one of his people.
Luckily, the Blazing Sun Sacred Sword was also compatible with the imperial sutra that Eunuch Gui was cultivating, thus improving his battle prowess greatly.
Eunuch Gui was so fond of the Blazing Sun Sacred Sword that he did not let go of it for even one second!
Right there and then, he had said that he wanted to serve His Highness with that Blazing Sun Sacred Sword to defend His Highness’ safety and honor.
Meanwhile, it was a great opportunity!
...
Eunuch Gui held the Blazing Sun Sacred Sword in his hands, and his whole body was enveloped by the Sun Fire as if he himself was the blazing sun!
He shone brightly and magnificently, making the light emitted by the Spirit Mountain pale in comparison!
Eunuch Gui waved his Blazing Sun Sacred Sword, and a powerful sword aura was unleashed, piercing through the air!
That flaming sword aura was like a solar flare—it suddenly exploded, made the whole ground tremble, and threw the laws into chaos.
The impenetrable Spirit Mountain’s formation finally cracked, and the divine light scattered!
“He’s going to succeed?”
When looking at such a scene, the various prodigies’ eyes lit up.
They also wanted to see just how miraculous the 21st Spirit Mountain was since there was still no one in their generation that could break through such a high-rank Spirit Mountain!
...
Eunuch Gui was excited as he saw the hope of opening the Spirit Mountain, so he did not hold back anymore and unleashed all his strength!
“Crack open!” Eunuch Gui shouted and brandished his Blazing Sun Sacred Sword once again.
Sun Fire was gathered to the tip of his sword and formed a huge sunflower, which smashed toward the Spirit Mountain.
Crash!
The ground shook, and the Spirit Mountain trembled!
The 21st Spirit Mountain’s formation finally could not endure it anymore and was split open by Eunuch Gui’s two strikes. Then divine light overflowed everywhere.
Thick Spirit Qi gushed out of the Spirit Mountain like turbulent waves and spread throughout the whole area.
The prodigies were all astounded. They felt as if boundless Spirit Qi surrounded them, and they enjoyed it.
As expected of a high-ranked Spirit Mountain. Those low-ranked Spirit Mountain could not be compared at all.
The 21st Spirit Mountain’s density was a few times higher than the 30th Spirit Mountain, and the Spirit Qi had already condensed to form fog.
...
However, as compared to the Spirit Mountain, everyone’s attention was on Eunuch Gui, who had broken through its formation.
That was a formation that required the battle strength of a Peak-Stage Nascent Soul expert that had reached Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.
However, Eunuch Gui had sliced through it with just two strikes!
How could they not be surprised?
Many prodigies engaged in heated discussions.
“The Nine Sun Sacred Ground is destined to be extraordinary with such a Saint!”
“The Nine Sun Sacred Ground has really obtained a treasure. They actually found such a prodigy to be their Saint!”
“Sigh... Looks like our Nine Yin Sacred Ground is destined to be unable to surpa.s.s them!”
“...”
Not only were there people praising Eunuch Gui’s strength, but there were even some that approached Eunuch Gui, wanting to become friends with him.
“Nine Sun Saint, I am the Sky Incinerating Saint. I hope I can discuss cultivation matters with you.”
“I am the true disciple of the Yang Fire Grotto-Heaven. I hope that Nine Sun Saint could advise me.”
“I am from the Orgy Grotto-Heaven. Does the Nine Sun Saint have a Dao Companion?”
“...”
They were all prodigies in Golden Core Sixth or Seventh Firmament Stage, so naturally, they would not be able to open the Spirit Mountains on their own.
Therefore, they wanted to be on good terms with those prodigies who opened those Spirit Mountains.
If possible, they might even be able to enter the Spirit Mountain to cultivate for free!
A chance to enter the Spirit Mountain was something no one could refuse!
Not to mention this was even a 21st Spirit Mountain!
The Nine Sun Saint’s mouth twitched crazily as he heard such praises.
“I am the true Nine Sun Saint! I am!”
Eunuch Gui was stunned. ‘Who is the Nine Sun Saint?’
However, he quickly understood and smiled.
“I am not the Nine Sun Saint!
“I am only an old servant of the Divine Firmament Saint!
“It’s all because of His Highness that I could have such achievements!”
Without Shen Tian, Eunuch Gui might still be a eunuch in the Country of Fire, so how could he enjoy the respect and admiration of others?
He became more and more grateful toward Shen Tian!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Such a powerful prodigy is not the Nine Sun Saint but just a servant?
You must be joking!
Whose servant is this powerful?
A servant who possesses a Sage artifact and whose battle strength is on par with Peak-Stage Nascent Soul from Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage!?
I don’t even have a Sage artifact!
Eh? Wait a minute!
The Divine Firmament Saint’s servant!?
No wonder!
However, even the Divine Firmament Saint’s servant is this powerful!
Then won’t the Divine Firmament Saint’s strength be immeasurable?
Tsk, almighty dollar!
...
The Divine Firmament Saint was already famous in the five regions since long ago, so these prodigies had already heard of his name.
After learning Eunuch Gui’s true ident.i.ty, the expression of the prodigies changed to astonishment and reverence!
The prodigies all said respectfully, “So you’re under the Divine Firmament Saint, sorry for the misunderstanding!”
“See? I said that he’s not the Nine Sun Saint. How could a mere Nine Sun Sacred Ground have such an exceptional prodigy like you?”
“...”
The Nine Sun Saint’s mouth twitched vigorously as he doubted himself.
They were flattering the Nine Sun Sacred Ground moments ago, but now they’ve begun mocking it?
Is it possible that just an old servant of the Divine Firmament Saint is better than me, the Nine Sun Saint?
Alright, it seems I can’t compare with him purely in terms of battle strength.
Then talent-wise... It looks like I can’t compare either.
F*ck! How do you want me to compare!?
Just kill me already!
It’s better not to be this Nine Sun Saint!
It’s just too f*cking humiliating!
...
Seeing how Eunuch Gui had broken through the Spirit Mountain’s formation, the top four Divine Firmament prodigies could not bear it either and stepped forward.
Those Spirit Mountains were not only their residence, but they could also increase their cultivation speed greatly. No one would be willing to give up on this opportunity.
Also, after battling the 10 Middle Ground Heavenly Venerables, the four of them had all been enlightened. Their cultivation levels had increased to Peak-Stage Nascent Soul, and they were not far from the Soul Formation stage.
Thus, given their unparalleled talent and Peak-Stage Nascent Soul battle strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to occupy a Spirit Mountain!
The four of them flew into the air, and lightning appeared behind them—they looked like G.o.ds controlling lightning!
The four of them stood proudly in mid-air with a majestic aura!
The prodigies’ attention was also attracted to them as they sensed the fearsome aura from the sky. Their bodies shook.
“It’s the top four Divine Firmament prodigies!”
“They’re also going to make a move? Which Spirit Mountain would they choose?”
In the outside world, rumors said that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was the strongest sacred ground in Eastern Wilderness, and all the prodigies within it all had peerless talent, especially the top four Divine Firmament prodigies. They were the strongest prodigies besides the Divine Firmament Saint and could be compared to other sacred grounds’ top Saints and Saintesses!
Eunuch Gui’s strength had already convinced everyone!
Therefore, just how powerful would the top four Divine Firmament prodigies, who were even stronger than Eunuch Gui, be?
Everyone paid close attention to the four of them, their eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation!
...
The four of them flew past the last few Spirit Mountains and reached where the top 10 Spirit Mountains were.
The prodigies widened their eyes, and their jaws dropped.
“It can’t be... No way... Impossible!”
“They are actually going to challenge the top 10 Spirit Mountains?”
The prodigies were astounded. Although the four of them were well-known as peerless prodigies, this was just too astonishing.
Other Saints were trying their best in the last few Saint Mountains while the top four Divine Firmament prodigies had directly headed to the top 10 Saint Mountains?
What a disparity. They were just too powerful!
The various prodigies were doubtful.
“Didn’t Elder Su say that the top 10 Spirit Mountains needed one to be at Mid-Stage Soul Formation?”
“Are the four of them bold because they have the confidence to challenge the top 10 Spirit Mountain?”
“Or do they just want to show off?”
The various prodigies did not believe that the four of them could break through the top 10 Spirit Mountains!
They were all disciples of sacred grounds, so why were they so daring to do such a thing?
Even Elder Su looked at them with interest!
The 36 Spirit Mountains were all extraordinary and filled with formations, and only peerless prodigies had the qualifications to break through them.
Even the lowest requirement must be Late-Stage Nascent Soul from Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage.
The Spirit Mountain ranked 10th to 5th even required Mid-Stage Soul Formation battle strength!
In the past, the number of prodigies that could break through the top 10 Spirit Mountains could be counted on one hand, and just breaking through one could make one renowned.
The four of them were going to challenge the top 10 Spirit Mountains—it was an unprecedented attempt.
When everyone was still discussing, the four of them had already made their moves.
“Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, I’ll make the first move!”
Zhao Hao cupped his hands together and took the initiative.
He charged towards the 8th Spirit Mountain with the Red-Black Cloud Staff in his hands!
Zhao Hao lifted the huge Red-Black Cloud Staff, but it did not seem heavy at all. Instead, it seemed extremely light and nimble.
As the Red-Black Cloud Staff was spun in the air, raging flames and lightning were formed. Its power was so terrifying that it seemed to be able to topple the mountains and overturn the seas!
Zhao Hao swung his Red-Black Cloud Staff with a domineering aura!
The 8th Spirit Mountain’s formation was extremely powerful as countless laws manifested and formed an impenetrable nomological shield!
However, under the ferocious attacks of Zhao Hao, a huge hole was formed with a loud thud, and divine light shone from within!
...
Zhang Yunting shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Junior Brother Zhao is simply too rough!”
He took a step forward and elegantly took out his Sky Dragon Seven Note Zither.
He played graceful music which bombarded the 7th Spirit Mountain.
The music was sweet and pleasant, making one immerse in that exquisite melody. However, they would discover that those notes were like a powerful army fighting and letting out ferocious roars if they sensed carefully.
Those notes turned into sharp blades which pierced through the air. The razor-sharp blades seemed to want to tear through everything in their way.
The endless laws of the 7th Spirit Mountain’s formation had been destroyed under the endless attacks of Zhang Yunting, which were like turbulent waves.
Fang Chang’s eyes lit up. He shook his head and exclaimed, “Second Junior Brother had hidden his strength really deep!”
Zhang Yunting had always been keeping a low profile, so his true strength was unknown.
However, the battle prowess he displayed now was not weaker than a Mid-Stage Heavenly Venerable at all!
Fang Chang raised his brows and asked, “Junior Sister, which Spirit Mountain are you going to choose?”
He discovered that Zhang Yunxi had already charged toward the 6th Spirit Mountain when he turned to look at her.
Fang Chang shouted, “Junior Sister, why didn’t you tell me when you would leave? Wait for me!”
After finishing, Fang Chang took out his Domineering Dragon Spear and charged toward the 5th Spirit Mountain!
Crash, crash, crash!
Rumble rumble rumble!
A deafening sound resounded throughout the whole Small World!
Zhang Yunxi swung her Golden Phoenix Sacred Sword, and VII Mixed Divine Lightning (Metal) gathered to form a towering sword that seemed to traverse the heavens and the earth!
Boom!
That brilliant sword aura was slashed toward the 6th Spirit Mountain and caused countless formations to soar into the sky, releasing eye-blinding light which covered the whole sky!
First slash!
Second slash!
Third slash!
The formation on the 6th Spirit Mountain shook vigorously as laws surrounded it, and a huge crack was formed!
Fang Chang then swung his Domineering Dragon Spear and pierced toward the 5th Spirit Mountain.
At that instant, spear aura surged out.
Fearsome aura pierced through the air and sliced countless holes in the formation!
Shortly after, the four Spirit Mountains’ formations had all been broken through by the four of them.
Rays of light blot out the sky and the sun while the ground trembled!
Countless people were dumbstruck as they stared at the four of them who stood proudly on top of the four Spirit Mountains. They were all speechless from the shock.
There were those that could not help but exclaim, “How is this possible?”
The four of them could actually unleash Mid-Stage Soul Formation battle strength with just Peak-Stage Nascent Soul cultivation level!
Even the four Spirit Mountains did not last long and were broken through by their attacks.
Although they had used Sage artifacts, their talent was also astonishing!
Sage artifacts were rare, but some Saints of certain sacred grounds still had them!
However, even if they borrowed the power of the Sage artifacts, it was impossible for them to reach the battle prowess of the four of them!
For example, a three-year-old child holding a knife would definitely be more threatening than a child without a knife!
However, that child would not be able to defeat a middle-aged man no matter what! The two of them were not on the same level at all!
...
They were incredible!
The Divine Firmament disciples of this generation truly had amazing talent!
That made them even more curious about the Divine Firmament Saint, who had yet to make a move.
Just how exceptional was he to have so many peerless prodigies willing to follow him!?
Just thinking about that made them excited!
