Chapter 470: Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Being A Father!
Shen Tian was very pleased to see so many talented geniuses appearing in the five regions.
Given their talent, it wouldn’t take long for them to grow.
At that time, they could contribute to the five regions and resist the Evil Spirits together.
However, right at this moment, Shen Tian’s body trembled slightly.
He suddenly felt an extremely intimate and blood-related aura.
“This aura?”
Shen Tian’s gaze shifted as he surveyed his surroundings before finally focusing on the Divine Firmament Saint. He could feel that this boy’s bloodline aura was very similar to his. It felt like they came from the same source.
Shen Tian’s eyes burned as he asked, “Senior Brother, what is the name of this generation’s Divine Firmament Saint?”
He focused on the Divine Firmament Saint, and the light in his eyes turned increasingly resplendent.
Zhang Yunting smiled and said, “This generation’s Saint is closely related to Junior Brother! To be precise, this kid is Junior Brother’s nephew!”
Shen Tian was slightly stunned. Where did this nephew come from?
But then he realized that it had been 180 years. His cheap brothers must have gotten married and had children.
As the Thirteenth Prince of the Country of Fire, Shen Tian naturally had 12 elder brothers.
However, he did not know which royal brother’s son this person was. He had even joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground as the Saint of this generation!
Zhang Yunting explained, “This generation’s Divine Firmament Saint is called Shen Youtian and is Brother Shen Ao’s biological son.”
Shen Tian was relieved. Among the 12 royal brothers, only Shen Ao had a high cultivation talent.
Moreover, Shen Tian had gifted the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to Shen Ao.
After undergoing the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill’s transformation, Shen Ao’s physique and talent had undergone a tremendous transformation.
As a result, his son had also absorbed some of the effects of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, which explained why his talent was astonishing.
Zhang Yunting smiled and said, “When Shen Youtian came into the world, Brother Shen Ao put in a lot of effort to name him. In the end, he named him Shen Youtian to bless Junior Brother’s safe return.”
Youtian, Youtian. The meaning behind this name was to hope for the heavens, ‘tian’, to bless Shen Tian.
Shen Ao had been extremely worried during Shen Tian’s disappearance and hoped that Shen Tian could return safely.
This was how the name of his son had come about!
Shen Tian was astonished and sighed inwardly.
So it’s Sixth Brother’s son!
Who would have thought that he would have already become an uncle?
Things were the same, but people had changed.
I didn’t expect Sixth Brother to be so concerned about me, always thinking about me.
How heartwarming!
...
Zhang Yunting smiled. “Shen Youtian is extremely talented. He has the Divine Pure Body, his talents are top-notch, and his battle prowess is unparalleled. His cultivation speed is extremely fast, and it can be said that he progressed at a tremendous pace.
“Youtian can be said to be the person with the greatest talent apart from Junior Brother!”
Zhang Yunting was also delighted. Shen Youtian was the current Divine Firmament Saint.
The stronger his talent was, the better it was for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!
Shen Tian nodded with a smile.
Since he was his nephew, he should greet him. He stretched out his hand and released an immeasurable power, grabbing toward Shen Youtian.
An invisible hand condensed in the void, pulling Shen Youtian up to the second floor of the Copper Sparrow Pavilion.
Shen Youtian was dumbfounded. He was originally enjoying the cheers of the crowd on the stage when an irresistible force suddenly swept over. Before he could react, he was sucked away.
Shen Youtian suddenly panicked as he mumbled.
“What’s going on? Could it be that some peerless old witch has set her eyes on this Saint’s peerless looks and wants to take me for herself?
“No way! No way! No way!
“Could I really be that unlucky?
“This Saint is still young and cannot do such a thing!
“Oh!
“But if she’s good-looking, I might consider it!”
“...”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces darkened.
What was this kid thinking all day long?
What nonsense!
Shen Tian’s lips twitched. He hadn’t expected Shen Youtian to have such thoughts. It looked like this kid had been led astray by someone!
Shen Tian looked around, his gaze sharp and filled with warning. He wanted to see who had led Shen Youtian astray.
This kid is still a child!
Wang Shenxu silently turned his back and turned his head to the side. He muttered softly, “Can’t see me, can’t see me!”
...
Forget it. No matter what, this kid is still my nephew.
If the child has been led astray, then he should be corrected.
At that thought, Shen Tian walked toward Shen Youtian.
Shen Youtian was still in a daze. When he saw Zhang Yunting and the others, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“So it’s Elder Yunting!
“You don’t have to do this. You can just call me up next time. This just makes me panic!”
Shen Youtian was still nagging, but when he saw Shen Tian suddenly appear in front of him, he froze on the spot.
“You...”
Shen Youtian’s eyes were dazed and filled with disbelief.
Shen Tian smiled and kindly said, “Child, I’m your Thirteenth Uncle!”
Boom!
Waves immediately surged in Shen Youtian’s heart as his thoughts rapidly changed.
Confusion, astonishment, calmness, surprise, shock...
Shen Youtian’s expression changed rapidly.
Soon, Shen Youtian’s body trembled violently, and he was filled with excitement. “Thirteenth Uncle, you’re definitely Thirteenth Uncle.
“Only Thirteenth Uncle’s looks can be better than mine!”
Shen Tian, “...”
Everyone, “???”
You are too narcissistic!
How can you be so thick-skinned to say such things!?
It is fine if you said that Brother Shen was more handsome than you. There is no doubt about that. Even without you saying it, we already know that for a fact!
But other than Brother Shen, no one else is as handsome as you?
You must be joking!
I, Wang Shenxu, am the first to be unconvinced!
I, Kuduo, am the second!
I, Yun Yuede, am the third!
Fourth, fifth, sixth...
In the end, everyone gave up.
In terms of looks, they were indeed slightly worse than Shen Youtian.
Shen Youtian’s physique was the Divine Pure Body that the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill had baptized.
This type of divine body was an innate constitution. It allowed one to be born innately spotless and untainted by worldly filth.
Shen Youtian, who possessed the Divine Pure Body, had a body that was wreathed in divine light. It was crystal clear and far superior to ordinary people. His appearance was indeed top-notch. He could charm a large number of fairies with his appearance.
Of course, that would depend on who he stood with.
If a handsome man stood with a group of ugly people, that handsome man would naturally be charming.
However, no matter how handsome a person was, they would all pale in comparison when standing next to Shen Tian!
Shen Youtian knew this very well!
After seeing Shen Tian, Shen Youtian was convinced that he was his Thirteenth Uncle.
After all, only Shen Tian had such peerless looks.
Only his Thirteenth Uncle could be so heroic.
Shen Youtian’s eyes burned with excitement. “Thirteenth Uncle, you’re finally back! You are my idol. I grew up listening to your stories.”
Shen Tian’s name had already spread throughout the five regions and had been passed down for many years, creating countless legends.
Until now, no one had been able to match up to Shen Tian’s accomplishments.
They were unmatched contributions that were obtained through brute force, and no one was able to match them.
As Shen Ao’s son, Shen Youtian had heard of Shen Tian’s heroic deeds since he was young.
Even his father, Shen Ao, would lament Shen Tian’s strength from time to time. He was the Thirteenth Brother he respected the most.
Subconsciously, Shen Youtian was filled with curiosity toward this Thirteenth Uncle whom he had never met before.
It was only after he joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground that he realized that Shen Tian was even more powerful than the rumors.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s development was all thanks to Shen Tian. He was the one who had led the sacred ground to its peak.
Shen Tian had long been hailed as a god by the Divine Firmament disciples and was deeply rooted in their hearts.
Therefore, Shen Youtian was determined to follow Shen Tian’s footsteps and walk the path of invincibility from 180 years ago.
And, of course, he did manage to do so.
Although Shen Youtian was not as freakish as Shen Tian, he was similarly invincible among his peers and had successfully become the Divine Firmament Saint.
Now that his idol had appeared before him, how could he not be excited?
Shen Tian nodded with a smile. Although this brat was a little strange, he was neither servile nor overbearing. He was valiant and quite likable.
“Youtian, it’s our first time meeting. Thirteenth Uncle will give you some greeting gifts.”
Shen Tian waved his hand, and two supreme treasures instantly appeared.
Multicolored light swirled about. It was incomparably dazzling, erupting with powerful holy might, their aura boundless.
Then, two artifacts surrounded by dazzling divine light appeared before Shen Youtian.
One of them was the Longyuan Divine Armor, a defensive artifact that the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader had given him back then.
Now, it was perfectly justifiable for him to give it to the current Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Youtian.
The other was the Purple-Green Double Swords.
This was also an artifact with extremely powerful offensive capabilities. It was a sword that was carefully nurtured by a peerless Sword Sage in the ancient battlefield 10,000 years ago.
Although Shen Youtian had entered the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he had also cultivated sword skills with Shen Ao.
From the resplendent sword qi emitted from his body, it could be seen that this boy’s Sword Dao cultivation was not weak either.
As a result, Shen Tian had chosen to give the twin swords to him.
The Purple-Green Double Swords and the Longyuan Divine Armor were both Sage artifacts.
When used together, the prowess one could display was excellent!
As his strength increased, Sage artifacts were no longer of much use to Shen Tian.
As the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Youtian indeed needed to equip himself well. Only then would it match his status.
After all, he was his own nephew. He had to take good care of him.
...
“Thank you, Thirteenth Uncle!”
Shen Youtian was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed respectfully.
He was extremely excited.
These are Sage artifacts! And they’re even Thirteenth Uncle’s famous treasures!
Even Father wouldn’t be able to take out such a valuable treasure!
As expected of Thirteenth Uncle, he is so generous.
Hehe, I am truly fortunate!
...
Shen Tian said solemnly, “Youtian since you are the Divine Firmament Saint, you have to shoulder the responsibility and be responsible for protecting the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!”
The Divine Firmament Saint was not only a title but also a responsibility.
Shen Youtian nodded and said firmly, “Youtian knows. I will defend the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to death!”
Shen Tian nodded slightly, a gratified smile appearing on his face.
He seemed to have seen his own shadow in Shen Youtian.
...
At this moment, another nine figures flew over.
They were all prodigies of the younger generation and were only in their 20s. Their auras were extremely powerful.
These people were dressed in the core disciple robes of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. They were the other nine Divine Firmament prodigies.
The moment they saw Shen Tian, they hurriedly knelt on one knee and respectfully greeted. “Greetings, Sacred Leader!”
Shen Tian froze, confused.
Divine Firmament Sacred Leader? Was his Master here?
Shen Tian looked around but didn’t see Zhang Longyuan.
Zhang Yunting smiled and explained, “Father announced it to the public 80 years ago. The day Junior Brother returns will be the day you become the new Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!”
Shen Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. His Master was simply not even giving him a chance to reject!
Shen Tian didn’t intend to refuse, nonetheless.
As the former Divine Firmament Saint, he still had feelings for the sacred ground and a strong sense of belonging.
Moreover, everyone had unanimously requested it, so he couldn’t refuse.
There was no harm in holding the position of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. Instead, there were many benefits.
After all, the position of a Sacred Leader symbolized the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s prestige. Most of the sacred ground’s resources could be provided for his cultivation to enhance his strength.
The two were like one, sharing both honor and disgrace.
The corners of Shen Tian’s lips turned up at that thought. “Everyone, please rise!”
A gentle force surged with a wave of his hand and lifted the nine Divine Firmament prodigies.
Shen Tian then took out nine other Sage artifacts and handed them to the Divine Firmament prodigies. “I will also give you people some greeting gifts. I hope that all of you will focus on your cultivation and strive to contribute to the sacred ground!”
These people were Divine Firmament disciples, and they were the most talented elites.
Shen Tian naturally wouldn’t be stingy with them.
The key was that the Sage artifacts in his little treasury were all counted in baskets. There were many of them, but they were not very useful.
Even if he took out nine at once, Shen Tian wouldn’t feel the pinch.
Since they could be used to raise the strength of Divine Firmament disciples, he felt that it was much better to give them out instead.
The Divine Firmament prodigies received the Sage artifacts with excitement. They said gratefully, “Yes, thank you, Sacred Leader!”
Sage artifacts weren’t much to Shen Tian, but they were supreme treasures to these young geniuses!
After all, very few sacred grounds would give Sage artifacts to their juniors.
The main thing was that Sage artifacts were really too precious. Even sacred grounds would not casually give them away.
Secondly, given the juniors’ strength, they might not be able to fully utilize the effects of the Sage artifacts.
However, Shen Tian had too many Sage artifacts, so he didn’t care.
Although they were unable to use the Sage artifacts to their full potential, at least they had an additional life-saving artifact.
They were all his children, so he naturally had to pamper them.
Shen Tian didn’t care, but it didn’t mean others didn’t.
The nine Divine Firmament prodigies, who had obtained the Sage artifacts, were extremely excited.
Their respect for Shen Tian was like a torrential river that flowed endlessly!
...
Upon seeing this scene, all the paragons were shocked.
Their eyes were shining with envy!
Which Sacred Ground’s Sacred Leader would be so generous?
Giving a Sage artifact on their first meeting?
It was one thing to gift one or two, but to gift more than ten?
This generation’s Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was truly domineering.
The Divine Firmament disciples were too blessed to have such a sacred leader!
...
At that moment, another figure arrived on a divine rainbow.
In an instant, a violent wind howled, its aura oppressive, like a huge wave that reached the heavens.
When ordinary geniuses sensed this aura, their faces turned pale, and their bodies couldn’t help but tremble and go soft, almost collapsing onto the ground.
Even Shen Youtian and the other elite prodigies wore grave expressions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
This person was definitely a formidable opponent that could not be ignored!
The divine light was retracted, and the person who came was a charming young girl.
This woman wore a long white dress, and her appearance was peerlessly beautiful. She was like a celestial maiden that left others in the dust.
Her eyes were as bright and resplendent as the sea of stars, and her skin was as clear and translucent as fine jade.
The most magical thing was that there was a pair of young and tender black dragon horns on the girl’s head that flickered with endless divine light.
However, a pair of dazzling phoenix wings appeared behind her, sweeping up gusts of wind as they flapped.
This woman stood in midair like a supreme goddess that stood aloof from the world, and her bearing was cold and arrogant, causing others to be unable to approach her.
All of the prodigies’ eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this. “It’s the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden?”
“She’s the most mysterious Dragon-Phoenix Maiden of North Sea?”
“Rumor has it that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden’s strength is unmatched. Now that I’ve seen her, she is indeed extraordinary!”
“This aura, she must have transcended the tribulation to become a Sage!”
Everyone’s eyes were filled with deep shock.
The Dragon-Phoenix Maiden could be said to have a great reputation that shook the five regions.
She had come into being 100 years ago and reigned supreme in the North Sea. She was invincible throughout the world and left others in the dust.
At that time, she had only been 21 years old and had already become a Demon Venerable.
Now that 100 years had passed, no one knew how astonishing the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden’s battle prowess was.
Her aura alone was no weaker than the geniuses of the older generation.
And that was not the main point.
It was rumored that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden’s identity was extremely mysterious, and no one knew her true origins.
However, some people had heard that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden had an extremely high status in Black Dragon Island.
The current Black Dragon King, Ao Wu, was extremely respectful toward her.
Yes!
The Black Dragon King had to be very careful when meeting this lady for fear of angering her!
Therefore, everyone was guessing if Ao Xue was the daughter of some old antique on Black Dragon Island. That was why her status was so high.
...
The moment the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden appeared, she walked straight toward Shen Tian.
Her tone was cold, and she looked unfriendly. “They all have a gift. Where is my gift?”
Everyone, “???”
Everyone was dumbstruck and puzzled.
Shen Tian was the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, so it was only right for him to give a greeting gift to a Divine Firmament disciple.
What did he have to do with the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden?
More importantly, the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden was actually asking Shen Tian for a gift?
They had never heard of a relationship between the current Dragon-Phoenix Maiden and Shen Tian.
Or could it be that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden wanted to extort him?
Tssss~
This lady was too daring!
You can blackmail anyone, but you want to extort this generation’s Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Shen Tian?
This lord had been able to hammer a Great Sage 180 years ago, and his battle prowess was unparalleled.
Although he had disappeared for more than 100 years, his strength would only increase and not decrease.
No matter how high the status of the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden was, she could not offend this generation’s Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!
Are you really not afraid of being spanked!?
...
However, Shen Tian didn’t mind her rudeness.
His body trembled, and his expression changed slightly.
That was because he realized that the Dragon-Phoenix Maiden also had a bloodline connection with him, and it was even stronger than that of Shen Youtian’s.
This bloodline aura was passed down from generation to generation and was extremely intimate.
For a moment, Shen Tian stood rooted to the ground in confusion!
As if noticing Shen Tian’s strange reaction, Ao Xue indifferently transmitted her voice. “My mother is Ao Bing, and my real name is Shen Aoxue!”
Shen Tian began to buzz with excitement.
...
What happened?
What the...
Didn’t I only sleep with Ao Bing once?’
One shot was enough to do the job!?
Shen Tian scratched his head. He didn’t expect that after he had been in seclusion for 180 years, not only would he have a nephew, but he would also have a 100-year-old daughter!?
The world has changed too quickly!
I, Shen Tian, am still a child!
