The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was filled with guests.
There was still half a month before the Saint Inauguration Ceremony.
However, many representatives could not wait any longer and rushed to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
The current Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, had obtained countless fortuitous opportunities in a year since joining the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
First, he found the forbidden chapter of the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, giving the sacred ground hope of returning to its peak.
Then, he went to the Primordial Battlefield to train and destroy the Evil Spirit Sect's plan to rescue the Evil Spirits from the outer realm. He also found the supreme divine artifact, the God of War Pagoda, for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
In the battle against the Evil Spirits in the Immeasurable Ancient State, the Divine Firmament Saint had even turned countless vengeful spirits into vengeful spirits by himself.
This was something that even Sages would find difficult to do!
Moreover, according to rumors, Shen Tian was the only Seven-Star Prodigy in the five regions that the God of War Pagoda had evaluated.
He had refined many extraordinary items in his body, and his talent was even stronger than Huang Shi's!
These incidents had already spread to every major force in the five regions.
This also made Shen Tian the first Divine Firmament Sacred Ground Saint to become famous in the five regions before announcing it to the world.
Countless people came to witness the Divine Firmament Saint's glory in advance.
However, even though they had arrived a few days earlier, they did not even see Shen Tian's shadow.
This was because Shen Tian was cultivating in seclusion on the Saint Mountain.
Previously, Shen Tian had refused to become the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had not forced him.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader felt that Shen Tian was mature and not greedy for fame and fortune. He had a steady state of mind.
The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind!
If he stood out too much, he would attract the attention of hostile forces.
There were many prodigies who had fallen like this. It was better to be stable and increase his strength as soon as possible.
Shen Tian agreed deeply. After returning to the Saint Mountain, he immediately entered seclusion to cultivate.
...
In the Sanctum of Sages on the Saint Mountain …
Shen Tian sat cross-legged as two mottled reddish-gold ancient pages appeared in his hands.
This was the second half of the Blood God Sutra, which recorded the True Spirit Rebirth Technique and the True Spirit Rotation Technique.
The Golden Crow Thearch had relied on the second half of the Blood God Sutra to allow his remnant soul to leave the Celestial World and return to the five regions.
Although the Supreme Evil Spirit had interfered, the power of this ancient scripture was undeniable.
One must know that the gap between immortal and mortal was not so easy to cross.
There was a Great Dao barrier between the celestial realm and the mortal realm, and almost no one could pass through it easily!
It was extremely difficult for mortals to enter the Immortal World.
Only those who had survived more than twelve heavenly tribulations could attempt to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.
Experts from the Celestial Realm were not allowed to enter the mortal realm, or else they would be killed by the Great Dao.
This was a barrier set up by the Heavenly Dao to protect the mortal world.
Otherwise, if the Celestial World experts descended and started a massacre, no one in the five regions would be able to stop them.
The Golden Crow Thearch relied on the last two incomplete sutras of the Blood God Sutra to forcefully deceive the Heavenly Dao and allow his remnant soul to return. This was enough to prove how powerful the Blood God Sutra was.
Shen Tian had cultivated the first half of the Blood God Sutra before, so he could naturally sense how strong the Blood God Sutra's life-saving abilities were!
If he were to finish cultivating the second part and combine the two parts into one, his survivability would increase by 10 times!
No, it was a hundredfold increase!
How could Shen Tian let go of such a supreme life-saving technique?
After experiencing the Immortal Abode Island incident, Shen Tian realized that this world was not as safe as it seemed.
The Evil Spirit Sect was constantly causing trouble in the lower realm, wreaking havoc in the five regions.
There were also Evil Spirits from the outer realm constantly invading the Celestial World, trying to open up a passageway to the Celestial World!
Even the Golden Crow Thearch had said that a huge change was about to happen in the Celestial World!
Even a Thearch like him, who had ascended 80,000 years ago, could not hold on and was killed by an Evil Spirit expert with a single slap.
Furthermore, after he died, he was possessed by an Evil Spirit, almost causing the calamity from 10,000 years ago to reappear.
If the Celestial World's guardians could not stop them, the Evil Spirits from the outer realm would invade.
At that time, the danger that the five regions would face would be far more terrifying than the great war 10,000 years ago!
At the thought of how many dangers were hidden in this world, Shen Tian felt a little flustered.
If he did not quickly increase his strength, how could he survive in this chaotic world?
Only by becoming strong could he break through all techniques and survive safely in this chaotic world.
Shen Tian firmly believed this.
He was preparing to cultivate the second half of the Blood God Sutra this time.
As long as he mastered it, Shen Tian could use the Blood God's Son and the True Spirit Rotation Technique to continuously revive!
So what if the five regions were in chaos? So what if a calamity descended?
Even if you kill one of me, there will still be thousands of me who will stand up.
As long as I have more clones, I won't even have to waste my life!
...
Then, Shen Tian thought of something else.
He no longer had the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill on him.
To be honest, the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was indeed a good item to do favors!
Although the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill could only be consumed once and was no longer of any use to Shen Tian.
However, just because he did not eat it did not mean that he could not do favors!
Anyway, he still had a large pile of Sage herbs in his interspatial ring. He could not finish them even if he wanted to, so he could use them to refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
This thing was simply a must-have pill for fishing for the Son of Providence.
After all, if he met an unfamiliar prodigy and said, "I see that we are fated. Can we go through a dungeon together?"
This was truly too awkward, and it seemed too abrupt and rude!
Perhaps the other party would turn around and leave. Wouldn't he have missed out on a good opportunity?
However, with this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, the situation was completely different.
Without a second word, he would throw a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
Who could reject something that increased one's aptitude?
After all, it was not strange to have too many gifts. Who wouldn't like a free treasure?
Furthermore, it was a supreme pill like the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill that could change one's meridians, cleanse one's marrow, and increase one's talent.
Even Sages could not reject it when it concerned the improvement of one's physique and comprehension, let alone those young prodigies!
At that time, wouldn't it be easy for him to freeload on fortuitous opportunities and harvest some leeks?
At the thought of this, Shen Tian felt excited.
Seeing that the Saint Inauguration Ceremony was about to begin, more and more leeks... Sons of Providence were rushing to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
I can't let go of this great opportunity. I have to find a chance to refine a cauldron of Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.
When I have the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill in my hands, will I still be afraid of freeloading on fortuitous opportunities?
Without any hesitation, Shen Tian began his long and fulfilling seclusion.
...
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
There was only one day left before the Saint Inauguration Ceremony.
The entire Divine Firmament Small World was filled with people. Even the elders were dispatched to welcome the guests.
This could be said to be a rare grand occasion. There were even more guests than the previous Sacred Leader Inauguration Ceremonies.
These people had all come because of Shen Tian!
In the outside world, Shen Tian's reputation had already spread like wildfire!
The warm-hearted Saint, the peerlessly handsome immortal.
There was also the number one prodigy in Eastern Wilderness, the unprecedented Son of Providence, and so on.
As a result, all the major forces came one after another, wanting to see the Divine Firmament Saint's glory.
However, the most important thing was the subsequent impact of the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb.
As only Shen Tian, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had seen the Golden Crow Thearch at the last moment.
At the same time, among all the people who had comprehended the Sun Thearch Tablet, only Shen Tian had comprehended it to the perfected stage and even produced the phenomenon of ten suns in the sky.
This also made many people from the various forces suspicious!
They thought that Shen Tian had obtained the Golden Crow Thearch's true inheritance and was suspected to have the Divine Sun Cauldron.
Many people even said that Shen Tian had many Thearch artifacts on him. He was extremely rich!
Thus, those powerful figures of the five regions all wanted to see if it was true!
All this also reached the ears of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus raised his brows. "Junior Brother, Martial Nephew is quite famous!
"With his fame, I'm afraid he's even more famous than us two old fellows!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus were the top prodigies of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground 1,000 years ago. They were known as the Divine Firmament Twins!
It could even be said that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had been supported by the two of them for the past 1,000 years.
As a result, their fame (and infamy) had already spread throughout the five regions.
But now, the Divine Firmament Saint's fame was not inferior to the Divine Firmament Twins.
In some aspects, he was even better.
For example... a basket of Thearch artifacts!
A cold glint flashed in Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's eyes, and he revealed a rare killing intent.
How could he not know that someone was secretly adding fuel to the fire, pushing Shen Tian to the heart of the struggle?
It was obvious that they wanted to make the prodigies and elders of the other sacred grounds target them.
After all, be it the Golden Crow Thearch's inheritance or the Divine Sun Cauldron, they were extremely precious and enough to make people envious!
In the cultivation world, benefits were paramount. This was an overt plot!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura surged as he said calmly, "Tian 'er is the Son of Providence. How can he be targeted by these small tricks?
Of course, we still have to do what we have to do. Senior Brother, don't let your guard down. "
Azure Lotus immediately understood what the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader meant. This was obviously a great opportunity to gain Shen Tian's favor.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus chuckled. "Junior Brother, great minds think alike!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, "..."
Soon, those powerful figures of the five regions all rushed to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
One by one, powerful cultivators arrived at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground on divine rainbows and appeared in front of the Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus.
The Da Li Sacred Ground's Sacred Leader, Purple Mansion Sacred Leader, Big Dipper Sacred Leader... Sages of the various sacred grounds all appeared.
Most of these sacred leaders were old acquaintances of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
Apart from them, the other sacred grounds' Saints also appeared.
Void Saint Wang Shenxu, Purple Mansion Saint Qi Shaoxuan, Big Dipper Saint Chen Zhongtian, Sonic Thunder Saint Kuduo...
These were all Shen Tian's old acquaintances.
...
"Congratulations, Brother Longyuan. The Divine Firmament Saint is indeed a dragon among men. Even before the Saint Inauguration Ceremony, his name has already spread throughout the five regions!
"I'm afraid everyone in the five regions knows about the Divine Firmament Saint."
The Da Li Sacred Leader congratulated him. It was all thanks to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's help in the Golden Crow Thearch tomb that they had been able to stop the Golden Crow vengeful spirit's attack.
Thus, the Da Li Sacred Leader was very grateful and had personally come to congratulate him.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled as he said coldly, "Brother, you are too polite. Tomorrow is the Saint Inauguration Ceremony. You all can rest for a while."
"Greetings, Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. May I know where the Divine Firmament Saint is?"
Qi Shaoxuan and the others bowed, wanting to ask about Shen Tian's whereabouts.
They had not seen Shen Tian since they had parted ways on Immortal Abode Island.
They had immediately rushed over after hearing that Shen Tian had left the void turbulence and returned to the sacred ground.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded slightly and said coldly, "Tian 'er is currently cultivating in seclusion. He will definitely come out to meet the guests tomorrow."
The prodigies could not help but sigh. "Brother Shen is indeed a dragon among men. Not only is he extremely talented, but he is also so diligent in cultivating. We are deeply ashamed."
"After we return, we must cultivate properly and strive to catch up to Brother Shen!"
They did not even dare to think about surpassing Shen Tian and becoming the number one in Eastern Wilderness.
Although it was a dream, it was also a dream that was far beyond their reach.
However, the prodigies were still filled with fighting spirit!
If they could not fight to become the number one in Eastern Wilderness, then they would fight to become the number one in the world!
Yeap, the sky was Shen Tian's sky!
...
"Rumor has it that the Divine Firmament Saint is extremely talented and can fight a Heavenly Venerable at the Golden Core stage. I wonder if we will have the chance to witness the Divine Firmament Saint's legendary glory."
At that moment, another Sage and a few Heavenly Venerables walked over.
They exuded a powerful blazing aura. They were obviously from a sacred ground that cultivated the fire element.
They were Heavenly Venerables from Middle Ground's Nine Sun Sacred Ground. As their Sage had been killed by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader in the Golden Crow Thearch tomb, this sacred ground was indignant.
However, they did not dare to find trouble with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
After all, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was unfathomable. He could even easily kill a Sage. It was enough to prove that he was extraordinary.
However, even if they could not deal with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, could they not deal with the Divine Firmament Saint?
The Nine Sun Sacred Ground's elders did not believe that Shen Tian could fight a Heavenly Venerable at the Golden Core stage. It must be a rumor.
Thus, they wanted to provoke him and use this opportunity to regain the situation.
If they defeated Shen Tian at this juncture, wouldn't the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground lose face?
However, they had already been here for half a month, but they still had not seen Shen Tian's shadow.
Before the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader could say anything, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus sneered. "My Martial Nephew is not free. If you are itching for a beating, you can spar with me."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus touched the cudgel in his hand, his face full of mockery and provocation.
How could he not know these people's intentions?
If not for the fact that Shen Tian was still in seclusion, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus would not want to interfere.
After all, given Shen Tian's battle prowess, it would be easy for him to deal with these Heavenly Venerables. He could trample on them to establish his dominance.
However, now that his Martial Nephew was not here, he could not let these people take advantage of him!
The Heavenly Venerables of the Nine Sun Sacred Ground were stunned.
Although these people came from Middle Ground, they had heard of Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' name!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable. He could kill a Sage as a Heavenly Venerable!
Moreover, this was in the past. Who knew if Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's strength had increased?
Although these people were Heavenly Venerables, they could not compare to an Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable.
Wasn't finding trouble with Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus the same as courting death?
Thus, those Nine Sun Elders all smiled awkwardly and took their leave.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus sneered. "You want to find trouble with my Martial Nephew with just this kind of trash?"
If not for the fact that they were in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus would have already smashed the cudgel in his hand. Why would he waste his breath talking to them?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled gently. "Senior Brother, this grand ceremony might not be that simple."
This grand ceremony had gathered a large number of forces across the five regions, so it would definitely attract some people with evil intentions.
After all, the five regions were not as safe as they looked.
The Evil Spirit Sect had always been hiding in the dark, wanting to wreak havoc in the five regions. They would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Moreover, given Shen Tian's talent, the Evil Spirit Sect might have already targeted him.
They had to be wary of this.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus said coldly, "If those bastards come, I will definitely let them have a taste of what it feels like to have their heads smashed!"
...
Chi!
At that moment, a bright light shone!
Dazzling purple light covered the entire Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
An incomparably huge pagoda projection shone on the ground, its aura imposing, attracting everyone's attention.
It was the God of War Pagoda!
The light was resplendent, and a majestic figure could be vaguely seen.
"Daoist Friend from all over the world, in order to celebrate the Divine Firmament Saint's ascension, the God of War Pagoda has started a big promotion.
"For the next three days, all trial prices will be halved. For the next three months, all trial prices will be discounted by 20%!
"Don't miss this opportunity. If you want to enter the God of War List, the famous Daoist Friend of the five regions, feel free to come."
That figure was Ye Qingcang.
Seeing that so many people from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had come, this old fellow's heart was itching.
With so many people, how many treasures would they have?
Shouldn't I take advantage of this good opportunity to earn a fortune?
Ahem, that's not right. I don't want to earn treasures. I just want to provide the five regions' Daoist Friend with a chance to train himself and increase his strength.
Of course, he still had to collect the cost!
This could not be omitted!
Ye Qingcang's projection only appeared for a moment before disappearing.
But this had already caused a huge uproar!
"What? The God of War Pagoda is having a big promotion, and all trials are at half price? "
"This is all thanks to the Divine Firmament Saint!"
"How can I miss such a good opportunity?"
"I must enter the God of War List and become famous throughout the five regions!"
"I also want to enter the God of War Pagoda!"
In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar, and discussions broke out.
After all, their purpose in coming to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was not just to participate in the Divine Firmament Saint's inauguration ceremony.
They also wanted to participate in the God of War Pagoda trial!
After all, this was a legend renowned throughout the five regions. Countless powerful cultivators had walked out of it!
If they could leave their name on the God of War List, it would be enough for them to brag for a long time.
Not only young prodigies, but even the older generation of Sages wanted to enter the God of War Pagoda.
After all, the God of War Pagoda was not only a place to become famous, but it was also a place to train oneself.
Being able to spar with the projections left behind by the Celestial World prodigies was beneficial to Sages.
Thus, most people were prepared to enter the God of War Pagoda!
...
Just as countless people swarmed toward the God of War Pagoda, a murderous aura suddenly filled the air.
On Saint Mountain, endless Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered, and the pressure was overwhelming.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that the Divine Firmament Saint is going to transcend the tribulation and become a Sage?"
Everyone exclaimed. They could feel how terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation clouds were. They were not weaker than the Sage Tribulation at all!
Instantly, everyone was incomparably shocked.
Could it be that the Divine Firmament Saint was going to transcend the tribulation and become a Sage so soon?
If such a young Sage really appeared, it would probably cause a stir in the five regions!
Even Qi Shaoxuan and the other top prodigies looked at the Heavenly Tribulation solemnly, their hearts filled with disbelief!
They realized that the gap between them and Shen Tian seemed to be getting bigger and bigger!
In the sky above Saint Mountain, the Heavenly Tribulation was still gathering.
The dark light was deep, and the lightning was dazzling, exuding an aura that made one's heart palpitate.
Everyone could feel the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation. It was filled with an aura of destruction. Even ordinary Sages might not be able to withstand it.
This also made most people sigh inwardly.
The Divine Firmament Saint was indeed a genius. He was actually able to unleash such a terrifying aura during his first Sage Tribulation.
If he successfully broke through, his strength would probably far surpass that of a new Sacred Leader.
Only the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was calm. He knew that Shen Tian was only at the Nascent Soul stage. How could he possibly transcend the Sage Tribulation?
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, on the other hand, was very excited.
This kind of aura definitely meant that a supreme treasure had appeared!
