Shen Tian wiped his sweat helplessly as he felt the passion of the disciples below the Saint Mountain and then looked at Fang Chang's bitter expression.
I just want to stay on the mountain quietly and cultivate until I reach the Mahayana stage before going out.
Why are there always people looking for trouble? The halo on his head had clearly turned green!
And Master Sacred Leader, can't you be more gentle when you praise me?
You still want me to form the strongest Dao foundation and lead the sacred ground to rise?
Why don't you want me to form the Paragon Bone and upgrade the sacred ground to the Heavenly Courts!?
What should I do, what should I do?
Shen Tian's gaze wandered around the crowd as he thought of ways to reduce his presence.
The Sacred Leader had boasted that his talent was unparalleled. What if someone came to challenge him?
At that time, wouldn't he, the "rare peerless Saint", be beaten up by the other geniuses?
I got it!
I can first greatly increase the strength of the other Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's true disciples. In the future, when I encounter danger and challenges, I will let them fight!
What? You want to challenge me?
Go and fight with my defeated opponent, Fang Chang, first.
If you can't even defeat Fang Chang, then you don't have the right to challenge me.
At that thought, Shen Tian felt that he had to help Fang Chang and the others level up.
After all, what if the challenger really defeated Fang Chang and then challenged me?
At that thought, Shen Tian slowly walked out of the Saint Mountain and bowed toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. "Master."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded. "Tian 'er, you have contributed greatly to the sect by improving the Lightning Explosion Talisman. Do you have anything to say?"
Shen Tian said calmly, "Master, I do have a request. I hope Master can agree to it."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice came from the lightning and heavenly aura. "Just say it. I agree."
Before hearing what Shen Tian's request was, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader directly agreed.
This kind of biased attitude made Fang Chang's heart break.
Why is Master still not satisfied with me even though I cultivate so hard?
And this new Saint has just entered the sacred ground, but Master dotes on him so much.
Could it be that it was because this fellow had a dignified appearance, was handsome, had an elegant demeanor, and was peerlessly extraordinary?
This is not fair!
At this moment, Fang Chang felt sour.
He sneered and looked at Shen Tian.
Fang Chang wanted to see what kind of request this new Saint had.
Under everyone's gaze, Fang Chang finally spoke. "Master, what do you think is the most important for our sect to grow stronger?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said calmly, "Cultivation is just cultivation, partner, wealth, and land. Among them, cultivation techniques are the most important.
Fang Chang nodded. "Our sect has been declining for the past ten thousand years because of the loss of the forbidden technique."
"The loss of the final chapter of the Lightning Imperial Sutra caused our sect's prodigies to lose the chance to reach the peak of the Lightning Dharma.
"In this way, the geniuses who could have broken through to the Golden Core Nine Refinement Stage can only stay at the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage."
"A Heavenly Venerable who originally had a chance of successfully overcoming the lightning tribulation and becoming a world-shocking Saint was only a step away from falling under the heavenly tribulation."
"Now that the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra's forbidden chapter has been found, I beg Master to fully unleash the power of this sutra!"
Before Fang Chang could finish speaking, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura had already started fluctuating. "Do you know what you are saying?
"Only the Saint and Saintess have the right to cultivate the Lightning Imperial Sutra's supreme forbidden chapter, Decalamity.
"This is the ancestral teaching. Are you saying that you want me to go against the ancestral teaching and spread the forbidden technique?"
Fang Chang bit the bullet and said, "Not to spread it, but to select prodigies and powerful cultivators.
"Master, among our sect's 36 Spirit Mountains, there are many Ancestral Masters who are nearing the end of their lifespans who use the Spirit Mountains to prolong their lives.
"However, although the Spirit Vein's aura can barely slow down the Ancestral Masters' aging, it can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
"These ancestors have dedicated their whole lives to the sacred ground, and they are the most loyal elders of our sect. If we can teach them the supreme technique …
"It is very likely that they will make another breakthrough, and their lifespans will increase greatly. They will protect our sect for thousands of years, and our sect's strength will also increase rapidly.
"There are also some prodigies like Junior Brother Fang Chang and Junior Brother Yun Ting who are extremely talented but did not manage to become a Saint due to a freak combination of factors.
"If they were not born in the same generation as me, they would definitely have the qualifications to become our sect's Saint due to their talent.
"But because of the rules set by the sacred ground tens of thousands of years ago, they are not fated to inherit our sect's supreme legacy.
"This undoubtedly causes their cultivation foundation to be unable to be forged to a flawless level.
"A thousand-mile dike will be destroyed by an ant's nest. Perhaps in the future, they will just be a little bit away from becoming a Saint!
"Therefore, I feel that the ancestral teaching is the teachings of the ancient ancestors and is not necessarily suitable for the current situation of the sacred ground.
"May I be so bold as to ask Master to make an exception and teach me the technique? If I go against the ancestral teaching, I am willing to resign from my position as a Saint as a punishment for disobedience!"
After listening to Shen Tian's words, the Sacred Leader said, "Foolish child, do you know that this request will not benefit you at all?"
The reason why the sacred ground did not teach the forbidden supreme technique to anyone other than the Saint was to keep the balance.
If the Saint's cultivation technique was completely superior to his peers, he would always be outstanding.
In this way, the other disciples in the Hallowed Grounds would willingly submit to him and submit willingly.
If everyone's cultivation technique was the same, then the other disciples might obtain great fortuitous opportunities and surpass the Saint.
At that time, the authority and right to speak of the Saint for the next 100 years might be greatly challenged.
Although Shen Tian's suggestion could indeed greatly increase the sacred ground's strength in a short period of time, it would only be detrimental to him.
In that instant, everyone's eyes gathered on Shen Tian. They were filled with shock and incomprehension.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian thought for a moment and said slowly, "I am not willing to be a phoenix in a chicken coop.
"If possible, I hope that everyone in the sacred ground will be like dragons and everyone will be able to attain the Immortal Dao.
"If Senior Brother Fang Chang's cultivation level improves greatly after cultivating the forbidden technique, he will be invincible among his peers.
"Then I am willing to transfer my position as the Saint to him. I have no regrets!"
...
Shen Tian stood proudly on the Saint Mountain, his every word powerful and sonorous.
For a moment, Qin Yundi, Zhang Yunting, and Fang Chang were all dumbfounded.
All the disciples at the foot of the Saint Mountain were dumbfounded. They looked up at Shen Tian, who was illuminated by lightning.
At that moment, it was as if Shen Tian's entire body was emitting a light that made them feel ashamed of their inferiority!
Qin Yundi's face was filled with worship and admiration. Zhang Yunting secretly praised him, while Fang Chang was completely stunned.
To be honest, Fang Chang was extremely talented. Ever since he had entered the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he had not admired many people.
Master Sacred Leader was one, and Martial Uncle Azure Lotus was another. Apart from them, there was no one else.
But today, that figure on the Saint Mountain was deeply imprinted in his mind.
In Fang Chang's heart, his thoughts were like a raging sea.
He actually suggested Master to teach me the forbidden chapter of the Lightning Imperial Sutra. Isn't he worried that I will threaten his position after I break through?
If I surpass him after cultivating the forbidden technique, I am willing to give up my position as the Saint. What arrogance!
In the end, he said that he is not willing to be a phoenix in a chicken coop. He prefers that everyone in the sacred ground be like dragons!
Good! What a good 'hope that everyone in the sacred ground be like dragons'. Such boldness, such boldness! '
"Shen Tian, you are indeed my acknowledged love rival!
"From now on, I am willing to compete with you for Junior Sister fairly!"
