Chapter 80: Shen Tian’s Armors
Chapter 80: Shen Tian’s Armors
The Sacred Leader’s speculation seemed to persuade the old Taoist priest. There was no other explanation for a young boy to find two treasures in one of Myriad Spirit Garden’s small Spirit Ore Shops.
Providence must be shining upon him!
The old Taoist priest asked, “Junior Brother, what about the second possibility? What is that?”
The Sacred Leader paced around the hall, and he became very serious and excited at the same time.
He took a deep breath and said, “That is, this boy is no liar.”
The old Taoist priest was stunned. “You mean he is actually a Spirit Ore Appraiser?”
The Sacred Leader shook his head and said, “No, that’s not what I meant. I mean... his providence could be much higher than we thought! If he did not know anything about assessing ores but managed to find good items in an ore he randomly chose, he could be even better than Purple Mansion’s Saint.
“Maybe the title “Son of Providence” is not accurate anymore. He should be called the “Son of Heavenly Dao”!”
The old Taoist priest was in disbelief. “Seriously? That’s too exaggerating, right?” How could providence bless someone to such an extent? That, that does not make any sense!”
The Sacred Leader shook his head. “That’s why I asked you to study more, Senior Brother. Never use your own criteria to judge someone blessed by providence. Have you forgotten how those Spirit Ore Appraisers suffered Qi Deviation? I have a list of files here. Senior Brother, you can take a look.”
The Sacred Leader transmitted a message to the old Taoist priest.
“This is the record of all the people with great providence in the Eastern Wilderness for the past 10,000 years.
“See? Someone fell off a cliff but received an ancient Thearch heritage.
“Some were kidnapped by the Great Demon but managed to have a one-night stand with it when it was improving its bloodline.
“Some picked up a normal ring, but it turned out that there was a Sub-Imperial Broken Soul in it.
“They all have something in common, and that is their life is always smooth sailing. As long as they are around, they will obtain all the big fortuitous opportunities.
“You want to seize that opportunity before they do just because you think you are stronger? Nah, most likely, you will be killed in the end.
“Do you think any of these make sense to you?”
The Sacred Leader continued to walk around the hall. “See, told you to read more books. After you read through the lives of 1,000 people with great providence, you will realize nothing is impossible in this world. Some people are born to be favored by the world.
Well, that Saint from the Purple Mansion was just way too much. However, I don’t think he’s the only one with such providence. I have a feeling that this boy is a mighty adversary of his!”
Sss!
After hearing what the Sacred Leader said, the old Taoist priest was surprised.
No wonder you are the Sacred Leader when I’m your Senior Brother! You are indeed smarter than me. But you did not even meet him yet, why are you so sure that he’s a Son of Providence?
The old Taoist priest said helplessly, “Junior Brother, what if you are wrong?”
The lightning floating around the Sacred Leader was agitated for a moment before the Sacred Leader replied, “Nonsense! I have already cut off all my emotions and have the wisdom of this world. How could I be wrong?”
The old Taoist priest scoffed, feeling that his Junior Brother was not so reliable. He had cultivated the Heavenly Dao Sutra just to repair the lost parts of Decalamity. Now, the adverse side effect was stuck with him forever. He had to be triggered here and there to maintain the last bit of human emotion.
The old Taoist priest said helplessly, “It’s okay if it’s wrong. According to our teaching, he could still become our Saint. In addition, he has the right to marry the Saintess. That’s your own daughter. Are you willing to let her go just like that?”
The Sacred Leader stood still and looked into empty space.
After a while, he said in a calm voice, “If they end up together, Yunxi will not suffer in the future.”
The old Taoist priest laughed. “What about Fang Chang? I feel that he would do anything to stop that from happening.”
The Sacred Leader replied calmly again, “I will give him a reminder for his own good.”
The old Taoist priest suddenly thought of something and asked, “Wait a minute! Since this boy is so important, why can’t I teach him?”
The Sacred Leader said, “Since he is so important, I cannot let you teach him. He has the power to bring us to greater heights, just like the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground.”
The old Taoist priest asked, “Are you seriously going to be so pragmatic?”
“How about this, Senior Brother. Hand me the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant, then accompany Yunxi to the Country of Fire and bring this boy back. We will let him choose who he wants to learn from. Fair enough?”
The old Taoist priest thought for a moment and found nothing wrong with the plan.
I’ll go to the Country of Fire, make friends with this boy, and lure him with incentives. I’ll make him my unofficial disciple first and find an excuse to ask him to turn down my Junior Brother. I’m cultivating on the Tinder Sutra, and I’m already having a hard time earning Spirit Stones these few days. When I make this boy my disciple, I can benefit from his providence too. By that time, I will not have to worry about money and treasures anymore!
The old Taoist priest was thrilled by his ingenious thoughts and started making his way.
“Hohoho, Son of Heavenly Dao, get ready to be my disciple! I’ll keep these pendants for now. I’ll make a copy of the contents for you.”
The old Taoist priest disappeared at the door of the hall. Three golden rays soon shot out of the door and entered the Sacred Leader’s body.
The Sacred Leader looked at the door and shook his head.
“Senior Brother, you are still so immature. Yunxi is my daughter, why would Shen Tian choose you as his master?” The Sacred Leader walked out of the door and stared in empty space. “Finally, the forbidden chapter has been recovered. The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground will be great again!”
Lan’s Palace, Country of Fire...
Shen Tian had no idea that Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader was certain that he was the Son of Providence. He was still trying his best to improve his Black Tortoise Armor.
After a few hours, Shen Tian felt that his time was well spent. He had upgraded the Black Rhino Armor based on the structure of the Black Tortoise Armor.
Finally, the Black Rhino Armor’s Divine Lightning Guard, which could not even last three minutes, could now be maintained for three and a half minutes. At least, Black Tortoise Armor could still last longer now.
Shen Tian decided he would use different armors depending on the strength of the opponents.
If the opponent is only average, I’ll use Black Rhino Armor and show off my skills while I can tank some damage. If they are strong, I’ll use Black Tortoise Armor like Blade Mail and kite the opponent with IX Divine Lightning (Water).
Then, I’ll summon Eunuch Gui, Qin Gao, and Jiu’er to fight together!
If the opponent is extremely strong, fret not. I still have my Sword Master Token! I will make a destructive blow using the power of money!
Steady!
After making plans on various strategies, Shen Tian was not so busy in the next few days. He did not want to settle any more troublesome stuff and only desired to quietly cultivate in Lan’s Palace.
When he was tired, he would walk around the palace with the Hariti Rosary Beads and enjoy the peaceful life.
Two days flew past quickly with such a relaxing lifestyle. It was time to send off the 6th Prince.
