Zhang Yunxi was lying quietly in Shen Tian's arms, enjoying his unique warmth.
But at that moment, Wang Shenxu walked out and said, "Brother Shen, you can't be biased. You can't hug the Divine Firmament Saintess just because she's pretty.
"I want a hug too!
"Why don't the three of us hug one?"
With that, Wang Shenxu opened his arms and walked toward Shen Tian.
"Scram!
"Scram!"
Shen Tian and Zhang Yunxi grumbled. This guy really doesn't know how to rest no matter where he goes.
"Alright!"
Wang Shenxu retreated awkwardly. He was just joking.
After Wang Shenxu's antics, Zhang Yunxi also reacted.
She slowly got up from Shen Tian's arms, her pretty face extremely flushed.
But then, Zhang Yunxi secretly gritted her teeth and snorted in her heart.
It's all this rascal's fault for ruining the good atmosphere.
Otherwise, I could have stayed in Junior Brother's arms for a while longer.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!
Zhang Yunxi glared at Wang Shenxu and said, "Old Wang, I see that your complexion is quite good. You must've improved your cultivation."
"This Saintess will exchange blows with you today!"
With that, endless Geng Metal Divine Lightning erupted from Zhang Yunxi's body, and she aggressively walked toward Wang Shenxu.
The corners of everyone's mouth twitched slightly.
Wang Shenxu looks like he's about to die, and you call that looking good?
No one dared to stand up for Wang Shenxu at this moment.
Zhang Yunxi was currently in a fit of rage. If they were to provoke her, they would definitely suffer!
Everyone silently turned around and started to pray for Wang Shenxu in their hearts.
Old Wang, of all people, why did you have to provoke this lady?
You'd better pray for yourself and have a good journey!
...
The corners of Wang Shenxu's mouth twitched crazily. He was dumbfounded.
？？？
Big Sister, can you be reasonable?
If you want to beat me up, at least find a better reason!
How can you bully others so openly?
Wang Shenxu's heart was filled with bitterness. Only now did he understand something.
Women should not be provoked!
Especially tigresses. They should not be provoked!
"Big Sister, I was wrong!
"Just treat me as a fart and let me go!"
Wang Shenxu immediately begged for mercy. In his current state, he couldn't withstand Zhang Yunxi's attacks at all.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Zhang Yunxi snorted coldly and controlled the Mixed Divine Lightning to attack Wang Shenxu.
Wang Shenxu cried out, "No! Brother Shen, save me! "
He scampered away, jumping up and down to avoid the attacks.
Zhang Yunxi did not intend to let him go so easily. She controlled the endless Divine Thunder to chase after him!
For a time, this place was in chaos, and miserable howls lingered without end.
…
After the commotion between the two of them, the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Shen Tian looked around and found that most of the people were familiar faces.
They were the most talented geniuses in the Eastern Wilderness a hundred years ago.
Everyone's auras surged, vast and immeasurable. It was clear that most of them had successfully passed the tribulation to become saints.
Seeing this scene, Shen Tian could not help but sigh, "Looks like everyone has been working very hard for the past 180 years!"
To be able to successfully transcend the tribulation and become a Sage at around two hundred years old, one could be said to be a peerless genius.
Throughout ancient times, very few people could reach such a realm.
"It's all thanks to Brother Shen!"
Everyone smiled and cupped their hands respectfully.
Most of these peak geniuses were on good terms with Shen Tian and had been given Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.
The limits of their physiques and talents had been raised, and their comprehension abilities had increased greatly.
In addition, the Spirit Qi in this era of great battles was abundant, and the laws were clear.
Everyone quickly refined most of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill's medicinal power, and their cultivation levels increased by leaps and bounds.
As for those geniuses who had not consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, they had also benefited from Shen Tian.
Due to the arrival of the great calamity, the entire five regions had become nervous. They wanted to create experts as soon as possible.
Therefore, the various blessed lands for training in the five regions had begun to open up to the public for the five regions' prodigies to train in.
Among them, the most famous blessed land was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's God of War Pagoda!
This pagoda had fallen from the Celestial World. It was ancient and contained endless inheritances. It was a supreme training ground.
In the God of War Pagoda, they could fight with the Celestial World's prodigies.
They could experience the glory of the experts of different eras and comprehend the Celestial World's inheritance mystic arts.
However, the God of War Pagoda's fees were too high, so many people forgot to stop.
These prodigies were on good terms with Shen Tian, so the God of War Pagoda had specially lowered the restrictions on them, greatly discounting the fees.
Therefore, they could compete with the Celestial World's prodigies in the God of War Pagoda to their heart's content.
180 years was enough for everyone to completely mature, and their battle prowess was extremely powerful, far surpassing their peers.
For example, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground's Bodhisattva Kuduo.
He had once fought with the Celestial World's prodigies, comprehended the Bodhi Sutra, and immediately became a Buddha.
Although Kuduo had never consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, his strength was not much weaker than the four Divine Firmament prodigies.
His cultivation level had reached the peak of the Third Stage, and he was only one step away from becoming a True Sage.
Kuduo's battle prowess combined with the Supreme Bodhi Sutra.
He would even be able to fight against an ordinary Five Tribulation True Sage.
There was also the Big Dipper Saint, Chen Zhongtian. He was originally ranked fourth on the Eastern Wilderness Golden Core List and could be considered a top prodigy!
Due to Chen Zhongtian's previous confrontation with Shen Tian, his Nascent Soul had cracked, and his origin had been damaged. His cultivation level had plummeted.
He was almost crippled, and many rising prodigies had surpassed him.
In the end, Chen Zhongtian chose to follow Qi Shaoxuan and befriend Shen Tian.
He had also enjoyed the benefits of the God of War Pagoda, and his cultivation level had broken through to the First Tribulation Sage stage.
Therefore, everyone was very grateful to Shen Tian.
...
Shen Tian smiled. "After so many years, everyone's temperament has changed a lot."
100 years was a long time for ordinary people!
However, a Sage's lifespan was as high as 10,000 years. 100 years was just the beginning.
As time passed, years flew by.
The young prodigies back then had already grown up and become mature and steady.
Compared to 100 years ago, they had changed greatly!
Fang Chang pursed his lips. "These guys have all become the Sacred Leaders of their respective sacred grounds. How can they still be like before!?"
According to the tradition of the various sacred grounds, there would be a Saint every 100 years and a Sacred Leader every 1,000 years.
Most of the prodigies present were the 10th generation Saints of the various sacred grounds.
They had been in power for 100 years, and it was time for the Sacred Leader selection.
This was because the talent and cultivation level of this generation's prodigies far exceeded that of the past.
Many people stood out and successfully became the Sacred Leader.
For example, Wang Shenxu, Qi Shaoxuan, Bodhisattva Kuduo, Chen Zhongtian, and the others had already become the Sacred Leaders of their respective sacred grounds.
As the Sacred Leaders, these people naturally could not be like before.
Shen Tian was slightly surprised. "Then who is the current Sacred Leader of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?"
Logically speaking, as the last Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian could also participate in the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader selection.
However, he had been in seclusion in the Spherical Heaven Chessboard for 180 years and had long missed this opportunity.
Shen Tian was a little curious. Which Senior Brother Saint had become the Sacred Leader in the past?
Fang Chang shook his head. "No one has become the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader in this generation. Master is still in control!"
"Why?"
Shen Tian was curious. Why was this tradition that had lasted for countless years not carried out?
"Because we are waiting for Junior Brother's return!
Junior Brother's talent is unparalleled, and he has made great contributions to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
"We all agree that only Junior Brother has the right to become the Sacred Leader!"
Yue Yunde walked up and said with a sincere expression.
Although he said that, he was grumbling in his heart.
Who did not want to become the Sacred Leader? It was just that the conditions did not allow it!
Logically speaking, Yue Yunde's cultivation level and battle prowess were the strongest among the Divine Firmament Saints!
Of course, other than Shen Tian, he was the previous Saints!
Also, he was the first Saint, so he should be the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
However, Yue Yunde's reputation was too bad. He had been swindling people everywhere and had become the public enemy, causing everyone to be angry.
Even if the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader appointed him as the Sacred Leader, the other elders and disciples would not agree.
If this fellow became the Sacred Leader, would the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground still have any face?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was also a reasonable person. He did not even mention appointing Yue Yunde as the Sacred Leader.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had nothing to do with him.
Also, almost all the elders and disciples in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground only recognized one new Sacred Leader.
That was Shen Tian, who had been missing for 180 years.
Even the previous Saints had expressed that they were not worthy of the Sacred Leader position.
This was because the contributions that the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, had made for the sect was something that others could not compare to.
Just the supreme sutra alone, Shen Tian had brought back a few.
Not to mention the God of War Pagoda... and many other contributions.
All the Divine Firmament disciples had enjoyed the benefits that Shen Tian had brought back, so their hearts were filled with admiration and respect for him.
They were willing to wait for Shen Tian to return and take the position of the Sacred Leader, leading them to the peak.
Therefore, the matter of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had been delayed again and again, and a new Sacred Leader had yet to appear.
Shen Tian was slightly taken aback.
He did not expect that everyone would be waiting for his return. Even the matter of the Sacred Leader had been delayed.
Such a sacred ground was really... too heartwarming!
...
Zhang Yunting smiled. "It's good now. Junior Brother has returned safely.
"Our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will also have a new Sacred Leader.
"With Junior Brother's strength, you will definitely be able to lead the Divine Firmament disciples to fight against the Evil Spirits and protect the five regions!"
Shen Tian smiled and shook his head. He said humbly, "No, no. I still have to rely on everyone's hard work!
"Fighting against the Evil Spirits and protecting the five regions is our responsibility. We will not shirk it!"
Shen Tian's words immediately caused the blood of many geniuses to boil.
Everyone echoed, "Good, well said!"
"The Divine Firmament Saint has such a big heart. We admire him!"
"Let's join forces and chase the Evil Spirit brats out of the five regions!"
...
At this point, Shen Tian thought of a problem.
After being in seclusion for 180 years, he basically knew nothing about the five regions' situation.
He did not know if this great calamity was serious or if the five regions could withstand it.
Shen Tian looked at Zhang Yunting and asked, "Senior Brother, how is the situation in the five regions now?
How did the great calamity descend? "
Zhang Yunting's eyes darkened as he sighed. "The current situation is not good for the five regions!
"Not long after the Supreme Sky Tree World opened, the Evil Spirit Sect took advantage of the fact that the five regions' sacred grounds were weak to launch an attack.
"They have been plotting for a long time and directly opened up a full-scale battle line.
"Their attacks are tragic and bloody. They are inhumane.
"The Evil Spirit Sect has appeared in Eastern Wilderness, Western Desert, Southern Border, and North Sea.
"The Evil Spirit Sect is extremely rampant. They completely disregard the encirclement and suppression of the various sacred grounds and races. They seem to be crazy enough to fight to the death.
"If it's just the Evil Spirit Sect, it won't be much of a threat to the various factions of the five regions.
"The various regions have been passed down for many years and have deep foundations. It's not something that can be broken through in a short period of time!
"The Evil Spirits from the outer realm are also working together with the Evil Spirit Sect to bring in many powerful Evil Spirits from the outer realm.
"Heavenly Venerable Evil Spirits are everywhere, and there are even many Sage Evil Spirits.
"With so many terrifying Evil Spirits joining in, they can completely crush the sacred grounds.
"They have become more and more ferocious, and their attacks have become more and more intense!
"Many factions have been destroyed, and the people have no way to live. Even the sacred grounds can't escape destruction!"
At this point, the usually gentle and refined Zhang Yunting could not help but grit his teeth.
This great calamity was simply too tragic. Countless cultivators had died in a sea of blood.
Even ordinary people and living beings were not spared.
The entire five regions seemed to have turned into an endless purgatory. Corpses were strewn everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.
"Only when the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty appeared did they barely manage to control the situation. However, the situation is still not good for the cultivators of the five regions.
"The area covered by this calamity is too large. It is far from what the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty can support."
Zhang Yunting sighed, feeling extremely melancholic.
It could be said that this calamity was almost comparable to that of 10,000 years ago!
However, this was only the beginning. No one knew when it would end!
The calamity would only get stronger and stronger, and the number of deaths would also increase.
The Evil Spirits from the outer realm continued to enter this place, causing the five regions to face a calamity that far exceeded that of the past.
Zhang Yunting continued to explain, "Fortunately, the five regions felt unprecedented pressure and became extremely united.
"The demon race and the human race also turned hostility into friendship and fought against the Evil Spirits from the outer realm together.
"Under the leadership of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, the five regions united against the outside world and prepared for battle with all their might.
"This temporarily eased the attacks of the Evil Spirit Sect. They did not dare to be too arrogant.
"Especially more than 100 years ago, when Shi Tianzi returned, he brought back the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.
"This formation can gather the power of many cultivators and erupt with power that is tens or even hundreds of times greater.
"Imperial Lord Huang Shi also helped Shi Tianzi refine many Heavenly Cycle Stars and distribute them to the various sacred grounds.
"Relying on the formation and the foundations of the various sacred grounds, all the factions were united.
"In the battle between the five regions and the Evil Spirits from the outer realm, they temporarily gained the upper hand."
...
More than 100 years ago, after Shi Tianzi left the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, he heard that a great calamity had erupted.
Therefore, he rushed back to the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty immediately.
He also refined the Heavenly Cycle Stars immediately to help the cultivators of the five regions fight against the Evil Spirits.
Only then did the cultivators of the five regions have the ability to resist the Evil Spirits from the outer realm. They were able to temporarily repel the Evil Spirits and restore peace.
However, everyone knew that this battle would not end so easily.
Once the Evil Spirits from the outer realm invaded, it would not be so easy to stop.
The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the cultivators of the five regions.
This was because the foundations of the five regions and the number of experts were rapidly decreasing, while the Evil Spirits from the outer realm were continuously sending in experts to invade.
One day, the strength of the five regions would be completely exhausted.
At that time, the tragic battle from 10,000 years ago would reappear.
Perhaps the calamity this time would be even more terrifying than 10,000 years ago.
...
10,000 years ago, if the Heavenly Dao of this world had not opened up a passageway and allowed the Celestial World to send experts to help, the five regions would have already been completely destroyed.
However, 10,000 years later, no one knew if the Celestial World would still send reinforcements.
This was because the information obtained from many Thearch mystic realms was conveying one message.
That was, the current situation of the Celestial World was not optimistic. It had encountered an unprecedented crisis, and a great enemy was invading.
Zhang Yunting sighed, his heart filled with helplessness.
Now that the Celestial World was in danger, it could not even protect itself. Perhaps it did not have the strength to support the five regions.
At that time, it would be troublesome. He did not know if the five regions could hold on!
...
Shen Tian pondered for a moment. He naturally knew about this matter.
Even a supreme expert like the Golden Crow Thearch had died tragically in the Celestial World. One could imagine what kind of calamity the Celestial World was experiencing.
From the looks of it, the situation of the five regions was indeed not optimistic.
Zhang Yunting said solemnly, "Based on the current situation, we need to increase our strength as much as possible.
"We should strive to find a chance of survival at the last moment."
Kuduo said melancholically, "But now, there are still Evil Spirits wreaking havoc in the outside world.
"They are constantly capturing powerful cultivators of the five regions and bringing them back to the forbidden grounds as blood sacrifices to summon the supreme experts of the Evil Spirit race.
"We rushed here this time to rescue the captured cultivators."
This kind of behavior was not uncommon. They were all controlled by the top experts of the Evil Spirit Sect.
As a result, ordinary cultivators did not dare to roam the outside world, let alone improve.
Shen Tian frowned slightly. "Since that's the case, let's start with our own people!"
With that, Shen Tian took out two Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills and handed them to Kuduo and Chen Zhongtian.
"Fellow Daoists, this is a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. It has the miraculous effect of changing one's innate talent and comprehension. It can allow your cultivation to improve further."
Kuduo and Chen Zhongtian were stunned when they saw this scene.
They were on good terms with Qi Shaoxuan, Fang Chang, and the others. Otherwise, they would not have mixed together.
The two of them had naturally heard of the miraculous effects of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. It was an unprecedented supreme pill.
The reason why Qi Shaoxuan, Fang Chang, and the others' cultivation levels were so much higher than theirs was because of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
A large part of the reason was because of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!
In the past 100 years, although the two of them had not said anything, their hearts were filled with envy.
They had taken the Sky-Mending Pill. Even if they could not compare to Qi Shaoxuan and the others, they would definitely not be so far behind.
However, only Shen Tian could refine the Sky-Mending Pill. It could not be found anywhere else.
Now that such a supreme pill had appeared in front of them, the two of them were shocked and in disbelief.
Kuduo and Chen Zhongtian had never expected that Shen Tian would give them the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
A supreme pill like this could casually set off a reign of terror if it was taken out.
Especially in times of crisis like this, even the top sacred grounds would go crazy.
After all, this was a pill that could directly increase one's strength. It was priceless.
In this situation, every bit of increase in strength would give them a chance of survival.
For a moment, their bodies trembled, their eyes filled with gratitude.
"Brother Shen, how can we accept such a great gift?"
Their relationship with Shen Tian was not like that of Qi Shaoxuan and Wang Shenxu, who had been injured and bled together.
It was all thanks to Qi Shaoxuan and Fang Chang that they were able to be on good terms with Shen Tian!
Kuduo and Fang Chang were good friends, while Chen Zhongtian and Qi Shaoxuan were close.
That was why they could benefit from Shen Tian and enter the God of War Pagoda to cultivate.
But now, Shen Tian actually wanted to give them the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. This made them feel embarrassed.
...
Kuduo and Chen Zhongtian looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
It was rumored that the Divine Firmament Saint was extremely righteous, kind, and had an incomparably broad mind.
Today, it was indeed so.
With such a Saint, how could the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground not rise?
With such a Brother Shen in the five regions, how could there not be hope?
I, Kuduo... I, Chen Zhongtian...
I'm completely convinced!
