Chapter 266: The Nutrient For Him
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was not going to take full credit for the raid on the Seven Kill sub-sect.
On the one hand, the Jade Lake Sacred Ground was aware of this, and they had to be credited as well.
On the other hand, the Evil Spirit Sect had lasted so long even after under all the five regions’ sacred grounds’ attacks. This showed that they had an unfathomable backing.
To some extent, the Evil Spirit Sect could not be treated as a sect alone. It was more like an alliance formed by countless sinister clusters.
If the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were to put in their full strength, it would be easy to destroy the Seven Kill sub-sect.
However, it would spend most of the sacred ground’s energy, and the Evil Spirit Sect may even target them for revenge. It would not be an ideal case.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground of 10,000 years ago had made this mistake due to their ego and flaunting their strength. It had not ended well for them.
Finally, a Son of Providence had appeared in the sacred ground, and things were getting better for them.
Zhang Longyuan did not wish to make any mistake during this period.
He only took half of the credit and gave the Jade Lake Sacred Ground 30% and the other 20% to the blessed-lands and grotto-heavens.
It was proportionate to their contribution in the raid.
After discussing with others, there were two sacred grounds, 6 grotto-heavens and 12 blessed-lands involved in the raid.
The Sacred Leaders led the two sacred grounds.
Also, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had sent Heavenly Venerable White Lotus, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and Heavenly Venerable Crimson Lotus together with 18 other Nascent Soul Supremacies.
The Jade Lake Sacred Ground had sent Heavenly Venerable Snow Dance, Heavenly Venerable Spirit Dance, and Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance together with 18 other Nascent Soul Supremacies.
For the grotto-heavens, each sect had contributed 1 Heavenly Venerable, 6 Supremacies, and 18 Golden Core Perfected Ones.
For the blessed-lands, they contributed 3 peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and 18 Golden Core Perfected Ones.
In total, there were 2 Sages, 12 Heavenly Venerables, 108 Supremacies, and 360 Perfected Ones involved.
Given their numbers, they were an invincible force. Even a sacred ground would not dare to fight head-on with such an alliance.
This was the power of unity!
...
After consuming the meal in the palace, Zhang Longyuan did not give much time for the other grotto-heavens and blessed-lands to prepare.
It would not be long before evil sects learned that the Blood Kill Sect Master had been captured.
Once they got this piece of information, they would likely link it to them.
They had always been hidden in the dark, and they would be extra careful.
If they were not fast enough, they would not be able to catch these evil sect members!
Also, no one knew if the evil sects had spies in the grotto-heavens and blessed-lands.
He could not trust anyone for now!
“Tian’er, this is a good experiential journey. You should go too!”
The Sacred Leader patted on Shen Tian’s shoulder and continued. “You are the chosen Son of Providence. We will win the battle if you are there!”
Upon seeing how much the Sacred Leader valued Shen Tian, the grotto-heavens’ and blessed-lands’ talented cultivators felt very salty.
Hmph!
It is said that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, is a hero.
He even led this dying sacred ground back to life.
It turns out the truth is that he has been making use of providence all this time!
They had to admit that Shen Tian’s providence was outstanding. Not only had he recovered the heritage belonging to the sacred ground, but he had found the God of War Pagoda too!
However, making him a mascot in battle was not really appropriate, right?
What if a random mystic art cast by the Evil Spirit Sect killed him?
Well, Zhang Longyuan did not have to worry about that. He believed in the power of providence.
There was no way Shen Tian was going to suffer that fate. Given that amount of providence, it would be certain that Shen Tian would encounter many fortuitous opportunities in the harsh battle!
Chaos, adventure, battles—these were the best nutrients for the Son of Providence to grow.
He had made this conclusion thanks to all the books he had read!
Zhang Longyuan felt that he should be creating such opportunities for Shen Tian.
This could allow Shen Tian to be strong in the least time possible!
...
Of course, Shen Tian did not like the idea of going to battle.
Only the poor should go out for adventures and risk their lives for cultivation techniques.
Shen Tian was making good money with the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans and God of War Pagoda’s shares. Also, he had plenty of other imperial sutras waiting for him to cultivate.
It was really not reasonable for him to go out and fight with the Seven Kill Sect.
Shen Tian thought for a moment and decided to reject it.
He said to the Sacred Leader, “Since Master has asked, I’ll go.”
Yes, he had rejected his thought.
His boss had asked him personally this time, so it was difficult for him to say no.
The heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader fluctuated. “Good! I appreciate your adventurous spirit!”
The Saint Token flew out of his pocket, and the Sacred Leader cast a lightning bolt into it.
When this lightning bolt entered the token, the Sacred Leader’s aura dimmed greatly.
It appeared that he had spent lots of energy just now.
The token fell back to Shen Tian’s hand, and the Sacred Leader spoke.
“I have recharged the token with three attacks.
“Tian’er, remember to protect yourself in the fight with those Heavenly Venerable from the Evil Sect.
“Safety always comes first! Your life is more important than killing 10 Sages from the Evil Spirit Sect.”
Although the leader spoke without a shred of emotion, Shen Tian could feel how caring he was.
“Rest assured, Master. I’ll take care of myself.”
In fact, when the God of War Pagoda had entered the Small World, Ye Qingcang had given Shen Tian a token too.
This token allowed Shen Tian to communicate with Ye Qingcang directly. If needed, he could even summon the God of War Pagoda itself from the void!
Shen Tian felt that as long as he was careful in this raid, there should not be any problem with this token.
After discussing the raid details, the two Sacred Leaders left with the Heavenly Venerables and Supremacies to the raid location.
The remaining people would receive instructions later on and be dispatched to the location to wipe out the other Evil Spirit sect members.
They could not help in the main raid anyway.
As Golden Core cultivators, they were insignificant in the Sages’ and Heavenly Venerables’ battles.
A Sage’s AOE attack could easily kill a group of Perfected Ones.
Well, Shen Tian was an exception.
...
The giant Divine Firmament Flying Vessel appeared.
Battle drums started playing, and the heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader flickered.
He was made a hand seal and summoned a giant spatial door.
The door appeared right in front of the vessel. No one could tell where the door led to.
“You created a spatial door to teleport the vessel so easily?
“Longyuan, you are stronger than I thought,” said the Jade Lake Sacred Leader.
As the flying vessel departed, it entered the door and disappeared.
A new battle was about to begin!
