Chapter 485: The Might Of Providence
The people from the two great clans were delighted to see Shen Tian agree.
Zhuge Sima was extremely excited in his heart. He was so excited that he almost jumped up.
With the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader joining them, they would definitely be able to find the Mystic Divine Island and obtain the supreme inheritance.
After all, the t.i.tle of the Son of Providence was not for nothing!
It was a solid t.i.tle, backed by countless examples!
Zhuge Yuan and Sima Cheng looked at each other and stroked their beards as they smiled. “It’s our honor to be able to travel with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.”
Shen Tian’s battle prowess was unparalleled, and he could ignore the chaotic aura.
With Shen Tian watching over them, they didn’t need to worry about encountering any danger in the Chaotic Star Sea.
The other disciples of the two clans were equally excited.
This was especially so for Zhuge Meng and Sima Xue.
They were overjoyed, and their faces were filled with infatuation.
This is just too awesome, too awesome, too awesome!
I can continue admiring the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s peerless looks!
This journey will definitely not be boring!
It’s said that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is only about 200 years old. Hmm, I wonder if he cares about our age gap.
How I wish I could join the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!
That way, I can often see the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s handsome face in the future.
...
Zhuge Yuan went forward and invited, “Please come with me, Sacred Leader Shen Tian.”
He waved his hand, and the flying vessel’s formation light screen opened, inviting Shen Tian to enter.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist Zhuge!”
Shen Tian nodded, and his white robes fluttered in the wind. He seemed peerless and untainted by the clouds.
Wherever he pa.s.sed, the chaotic aura would retreat, allowing him to safely land on the flying vessel.
The shock in the eyes of the people from the two great clans became increasingly intense. They firmly believed that their choice was correct.
This trip with Shen Tian would definitely be extremely easy.
Shen Tian’s ability to isolate the chaotic aura alone was unrivaled.
“Set sail!”
A loud voice sounded.
The flying boat rumbled as it advanced into the depths of the sea.
However, they did not go far before they lost their way again.
The surroundings were covered in a hazy mist, blocking everyone’s line of sight.
They were unable to clearly see the path ahead, so they had the flying vessel temporarily stop.
“Ancestor, which direction should we go next?”
The disciple in charge of the helm raised a question, not daring to act rashly.
In the Chaotic Star Sea, one’s location and sense of direction were very important. If one chose the wrong direction, it would be extremely dangerous.
It was precisely because they had taken the wrong path before that they had lost themselves in the outer regions for a month, wasting a lot of time.
Sima Cheng pondered for a moment and said, “Wait a moment, wait for this old man to execute the Five Elements Mystic Technique and deduce the location of the Mystic Divine Island.”
The Five Elements Mystic Technique was the Sima clan’s inherited secret technique. It could deduce the general direction based on one’s perception of the world.
Zhuge Yuan pursed his lips and said, “Come on!
“Given your Sima clan’s meager skills, you all still dare to bring it out to disgrace yourselves?
“Let me use my Eight Trigrams Mystic Technique to determine our location!”
Hearing that Sima Cheng wanted to lead the way, Zhuge Yuan immediately jumped out.
How could the Five Elements Mystic Technique compare to the Eight Trigrams Mystic Technique of their Zhuge clan?
When Sima Cheng heard this, his eyes widened in anger. “We wasted so much time earlier because you were the one who guided us.
“You still dare to cause trouble here? Do you want us to continue getting lost?”
When he heard that Zhuge Yuan was belittling the Sima clan again, Sima Cheng immediately retorted.
Elder Zhuge’s face turned slightly red. “It was just an accident earlier. Now that I’m personally executing it, there will definitely be no problem!
“Isn’t your Sima clan’s lousy secret technique also useless?
“Otherwise, why can’t we find our way out even after navigating for a month?”
Sima Cheng said angrily, “Old man, do you want to fight?”
Sima Cheng was furious when he saw Zhuge Yuan belittling the Sima clan.
Zhuge Yuan rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his fists, and said, “Let’s fight then. Do you think I am afraid of you?”
Looking at the two of them, it was clear that they wanted to fight to decide the right to speak.
...
Beside them, the corners of Zhuge Sima’s mouth twitched violently.
He knew that this matter would not end so easily.
These two ancestors had been fighting for 10,000 years, and neither of them had submitted to the other.
It would have been fine if it was normal.
However, they were currently in the middle of the Chaotic Star Sea. Furthermore, there was still the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader present.
My two ancestors, is it really alright for you to act like this?
Unbelievable!
Seeing that the two of them were really about to start a fight, Zhuge Sima hurriedly tried to persuade them. “Two old ancestors, why don’t you both give it a try?”
The Five Elements Mystic Technique and the Eight Trigrams Mystic Technique both originated from the Dragon Armor Heavenly Book.
The two came from the same source, so there shouldn’t be too much of a difference.
Getting the right direction would depend on their attainments in formations and their mastery of their secret techniques.
Zhuge Yuan and Sima Cheng were on par with each other, so there shouldn’t be much of a difference...
When he thought of this, Zhuge Sima felt apprehensive. He always felt that following these old men made him feel uneasy!
“Very well, this old man will let you experience it today.”
Zhuge Yuan walked out and took out an ancient Eight Trigrams Compa.s.s.
That Eight Trigrams Compa.s.s was very simple and unadorned. There were strange domain formation foundation stones embedded on it, and its aura was boundless.
Zhuge Yuan made hand seals and executed the Eight Trigrams Mystical Arts.
In an instant, a brilliant light shone everywhere.
The Eight Trigrams Compa.s.s shot out a divine light that shot into the clouds in the sky, messing up the clouds in the nine heavens.
At the same time, a huge eight trigrams appeared behind Zhuge Yuan. 10,000 divine patterns and laws burst forth.
His expression was extremely solemn as he chanted an ancient and profound incantation.
The huge Eight Trigrams Compa.s.s spun rapidly. It was extremely resplendent and emitted endless divine energy.
The spiritual aura around him surged, scattering the mist.
Finally, the pointer of the Eight Trigrams Compa.s.s pointed to the left.
Zhuge Yuan’s face was full of confidence as he said, “The west is where the Mystic Divine Island is located!”
He firmly believed that his family’s secret technique was powerful and could not be wrong.
...
Sima Cheng also took out an ancient Five Elements Compa.s.s.
The Five Elements Compa.s.s shone brightly, and there were five strange stones of different attributes embedded in it. Their powers complemented and countered each other, and it seemed extremely magical.
Sima Cheng also executed his technique to activate the Five Elements Compa.s.s.
Five elemental rays of divine light illuminated heaven and earth, divine radiance dazzling.
In that instant, a ma.s.sive Five Elements Compa.s.s appeared in the void, illuminating the heavens.
The Five Elements Compa.s.s spun rapidly as dazzling divine light scattered in all directions.
Divine light of all five colors burst forth, piercing straight into the sky, showing off a dense brilliance.
Finally, the five beams of divine light gathered and pointed to the right!
Sima Cheng said with an indifferent expression, “Nonsense, the east is the location of the Mystic Divine Island.”
Zhuge Yuan took a big step forward and said with a doubtful look, “Impossible. The direction that I’ve gotten is clearly in the west.”
Sima Cheng harrumphed, “What’s impossible? Old brat, you’re always making mistakes. This isn’t the first time!”
Zhuge Yuan instantly jumped up, pointed at Sima Cheng, and shouted, “You’re bullsh*tting!
“This old man has cultivated the Eight Trigrams Mystic Technique for thousands of years. How could I possibly make a mistake?
“There must be something wrong with your deduction!”
Sima Cheng also said anxiously, “Our Sima clan’s Five Elements Mystic Technique is stronger than your Eight Trigrams Mystic Technique!
“The Mystic Divine Island must be in the east!”
Zhuge Yuan waved his hand and said tyrannically, “That’s impossible. How can you compare me with your mediocre skills? I bet it’s the west!”
Sima Cheng couldn’t be bothered to waste time talking to him. He ordered the helmsman, “Sima Gang, head east directly.”
Zhuge Yuan hurried forward to stop him. “No, we must go west this time.”
However, Sima Cheng glanced at him and sneered. “Do you think he will care about you? He is a disciple of my Sima clan!”
Zhuge Yuan shouted, “If you dare to move, don’t blame me for flaring up!”
Sima Cheng, “...”
...
Sima Gang was confused and did not know who to listen to.
One was his own ancestor, and the other was someone else’s ancestor.
Logically speaking, he should definitely listen to his ancestor.
However, Zhuge Yuan was not someone easy to talk to. If he got angry, he would definitely be beaten up.
He couldn’t afford to offend either of them!
Zhuge Sima also had a pained expression.
He didn’t expect the two ancestors to argue with each other here. Couldn’t they agree on something for once?
He said earnestly, “Ancestors, we don’t have much time left! Let’s hurry up and choose a path to set off!”
Given their energy reserves, they could at most last for ten days. If this dragged on, they would really die!
Sima Cheng harrumphed. “Since that’s the case, let’s find a judge and let him choose.”
Zhuge Yuan nodded. “Alright, then let’s allow the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader to be our judge!”
“Let him decide where to go next!”
They also knew that they would not be able to get anything out of the argument, and it would only be a waste of time if they dragged on.
Therefore, it was fairer to seek Shen Tian’s opinion.
In their opinion, Shen Tian definitely didn’t know anything about formations.
This was also their first meeting, and he would be absolutely fair and impartial.
Besides, Shen Tian was the Son of Providence, so his choice would definitely not be wrong.
Shen Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at their words. “Seniors, I don’t know much about formations. If I make the wrong choice, I hope that everyone can forgive me.”
Zhuge Yuan hurriedly said, “The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is being too humble. You are publicly acknowledged as the son of the heavens. With your providence, you can definitely make the right choice. We’ll listen to you.”
Zhuge Yuanyuan believed that victory was within his grasp and felt that Shen Tian would definitely choose him, so he wasn’t worried at all.
Sima Cheng walked out as well, his beard curling slightly. “Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, please make your decision. We will definitely follow whatever you say.”
Shen Tian nodded and said with a burning gaze, “I think we should go straight ahead.”
He had seen the location of the Mystic Divine Island in the image above Zhuge Sima’s head. It was right in front of everyone.
In the picture of the fortuitous opportunity, the two clans would walk around the Chaotic Star Sea for seven to eight days before they finally arrived at the location.
However, Shen Tian didn’t plan on wasting time with them and directly pointed out the correct position.
Sima Cheng, “...”
Zhuge Yuan, “???”
The two of them were stunned.
Why? Why do we have to go forward? There is no such option for you to choose!
Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, the two directions we have given are the east and west!
This is a multiple-choice question!
It’s either A or B, so how could you choose C!?
...
Zhuge Yuan coughed lightly. “Sacred Leader Shen Tian, we’ve all deduced that the path ahead is a dead-end!
“Once you go ahead, you will fall into a trap and definitely be completely lost.
“Why don’t we try another route?”
For the first time, Sima Cheng had the same opinion as Zhuge Yuan. He said, “That’s right! We can’t go straight!”
The mystic techniques they used borrowed the powers of the world to sense the intensity of the chaotic aura.
The two directions they had pointed out had a fairly weak yet constantly flowing chaotic aura. They were clearly pa.s.sageways for one to transverse.
The chaotic aura in front of them was extremely intense, like a barrier between heaven and earth. It was definitely a dead end.
Those proficient in domain formations would definitely not choose this path.
However, Shen Tian was still determined to make his choice. No matter what the two of them said, he wouldn’t change directions.
As such, even Zhuge Yuan and Sima Cheng were helpless.
After all, they were the ones who had righteously invited Shen Tian to choose the path.
If they did not follow, wouldn’t it be a loss of face for both of them?
It was fine if they lost face, but if they made the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader lose face... the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all, they were in the Chaotic Star Island domain. Who could withstand his rage if he were to flare up?
Without mentioning anything else, as long as Shen Tian caused a ruckus in the sea, he would be able to stir up endless waves of chaotic aura to submerge them. Even the flying vessel wouldn’t be able to stop him!
...
Nonetheless, this was related to the supreme inheritance of their two great clans, so the two old ancestors didn’t dare rashly make a decision.
Zhuge Sima walked out. “Ancestors, why don’t we follow the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s decision?”
Compared to the two unreliable ancestors, Zhuge Sima chose to believe in the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader.
After all, he was the Son of Providence. How could he be wrong?
Zhuge Yuan and Sima Cheng’s expressions changed slightly. Immediately, anger emerged in their hearts.
Did this kid think that these two old men had chosen the wrong direction?
Could it be that their attainments in the field of domain formations were inferior to the blind guess of a Son of Providence?
At that moment, two more women walked out.
“I also think that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader chose a better direction.”
“Ancestors, why don’t we go take a look?”
“That’s right! Let’s try going that way!”
Those two girls were Zhuge Meng and Sima Xue.
They trusted Shen Tian without hesitation and wanted to follow his decision.
The two ancestors were so angry that the corners of their mouths twitched as they cursed in their hearts.
These little brats were really bold!
How dare they not believe in their ancestors?
Fine, since they wanted to follow Shen Tian, it would be fine to let them suffer a bit.
It was also time to correct these brats’ impetuous nature.
There was a need to let these guys know that formations were not something that could be mastered by chasing idols.
...
Zhuge Yuan and Sima Cheng looked at each other, then nodded. “Since that’s the case, let’s proceed in the direction that Sacred Leader Shen Tian has chosen!”
With Shen Tian here, they weren’t worried about any danger.
At most, they would just waste some time!
Using this opportunity to properly educate these little brats was worth it.
“Understood!”
Sima Gang, who was in charge of the helm, immediately controlled the flying vessel and headed forward.
Soon, the flying vessel crashed head first into the endless chaotic aura, completely covered by the gray mist.
The mist here was hazy and dense.
A thick chaotic aura surrounded this place like a swamp.
As soon as they entered, everyone felt great pressure, which made their minds tremble.
Chaotic energy surged in the surroundings, turning into ferocious beasts that charged toward the flying boat.
Rumble!
A thundering explosion echoed!
Every time they collided, divine light would explode.
The protective light screen on the flying vessel shone with endless divine light. Divine radiance overflowed in all directions, stimulating a powerful resistance.
Even so, the flying boat was still shaken by the impact, and its energy was rapidly depleted.
The density of the chaotic energy here far exceeded that of other regions, making everyone’s pressure increase greatly.
Zhuge Yuan shook his head. “I’ve already said that this isn’t the right direction.
“According to the current rate of energy consumption, we won’t be able to last more than ten days.
“If we still can’t find the Mystic Divine Island in ten days, all our efforts will go to waste!”
Sima Cheng also nodded and said, “Let’s go back now and head to the east. We can still salvage the situation.”
“What do you mean by going east? We should have gone west!” Zhuge Yuan shouted again.
The crowd, “...”
...
Seeing the two ancestors arguing again, everyone could not help but hold their foreheads.
Zhuge Sima looked at Shen Tian. “Senior, do you have any solutions?”
Until now, he still chose to believe in Shen Tian.
Shen Tian smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, leave it to me!”
With that said, he left the flying vessel and flew toward the Chaotic Star Sea.
Shen Tian stretched out his hand and lightly patted the front.
The sky and earth sank, and seawater surged!
The boundless might struck countless strands of chaotic aura, and all of them retreated while a clear path was formed.
A road had been cleared, and the chaotic aura was unable to invade at all.
The pressure on the flying boat lessened, and it was even easier than before.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Their eyes were filled with admiration and worship as they looked at Shen Tian, completely convinced by his prowess.
Zhuge Sima sighed. “As expected of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. He’s indeed extremely powerful.
“With him here, we’ll definitely be able to safely find the Mystic Divine Island!”
The two clans’ disciples nodded their heads in agreement.
As for the female disciples of the two great clans, they screamed in adoration.
“The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s back is so broad. It gives people a sense of security!”
“Also, his side profile is too handsome. It’s unprecedented!”
“I feel like my heart is melting!”
All the female disciples stared at Shen Tian with infatuated expressions, unable to take their eyes off him.
There was a sour feeling in the air.
The young men of the two great clans looked at their G.o.ddesses, their hearts filled with bitterness as if they had eaten a 1,000-year-old lemon.
...
Shen Tian stood in front of the flying vessel and spread his arms wide, releasing endless divine might.
The chaotic aura that even Sub-Immortals feared seemed to have no room to resist Shen Tian.
Every time he made a move, he would be able to force back countless amounts of chaotic aura, allowing the world to regain its clarity.
He said indifferently, “Let’s continue forward!”
“Understood!”
The disciples of the two clans were incomparably excited as they urged the flying vessel forward. Even their speed increased several times.
The flying vessel sped across the Chaotic Star Sea at an extremely fast speed.
With Shen Tian leading the way, their journey was unimpeded and extremely easy.
As the last layer of chaotic energy was pushed away, endless divine light bloomed, seeming extremely dazzling.
Everyone was dazzled by the sight, and they felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the moon.
Heaven and earth immediately became clear again, and all of the chaotic aura retreated, unable to touch the flying vessel.
An enormous island appeared ahead of them. It hung high in the air.
From afar, it looked like a small independent world, looking extremely grand.
Upon seeing this island, everyone’s eyes were filled with excitement.
Zhuge Yuan and Sima Cheng were also stunned.
They felt as if a myriad of horses were galloping through their hearts.
...
The appearance of the island was almost identical to the one recorded in the ancient records.
Could it be that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had guessed correctly!?
