I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 342: Ever-changing Heaven Devouring Art, Chaotic Sword Fetus

This heritage was of the same source as Shen Tian’s Tinder Sutra and extremely miraculous.

Even the Tinder God of War Sutra that Ye Qingcang ηαδ taught Shen Tian also seemed to pale in comparison to the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

However, it was extremely difficult and dangerous to start learning this cultivation technique as one had to successfully absorb and refine chaotic aura.

One had to know that chaotic aura was one of the most fearsome forms of energy known in the five regions. Even a Sage would be in danger if they encountered it.

It was simply unimaginable for normal people to cultivate this Chaotic Tinder Sutra. After all, they would need to absorb and refine chaotic energy, which would, in turn, instantly devour and kill them.

However, if one could successfully practice this Chaotic Tinder Sutra, its power would also be beyond one’s imagination, exceeding any ordinary cultivation technique.

According to the cultivation technique heritage in his mind, if Shen Tian could successfully learn this Chaotic Tinder Sutra, then he would be able to refine and control chaotic energy in the future.

By then, not only would that bit of chaotic aura in his clone not threaten his safety, but it could even become his weapon.

That was the strongest and most destructive killing weapon!

“This technique is so powerful it’s frightening. If I can completely get it under control, then it might not be impossible for me to kill Sage cultivators when I become a Nascent Soul cultivator,” Shen Tian murmured to himself. His eyes became passionate and filled with excitement.

It’s no joke, he would be able to kill a Sage!

Don’t think that it was easy to defeat those of higher cultivation levels just because some prodigies could do so.

Yes, Foundation Establishment cultivators could defeat Golden Core cultivators, or Golden Core cultivators could defeat Nascent Soul cultivators. However, that was only because there were just too many pieces of trash that relied on unorthodox methods to forcibly raise their cultivation levels to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul stages.

For example, using evil means such as devouring others’ blood or sacrificing others. If there were no one from righteous sects to stop them, they might even create Perfected Ones and Supremacies in batches.

However, those Perfected Ones and Supremacies were powerful on the surface. They were extremely weak in terms of true battle strength.

Once cultivators reached the Soul Formation stage and above, there would be fewer and fewer shortcuts. Basically, those that could become Heavenly Venerables were all top prodigies.

Those prodigies were originally those that could defeat those of higher cultivation levels and were famous in their generation. If one wanted to do the same and defeat them when one was one cultivation stage lower, it would almost be an impossible feat, not to mention killing a Sage.

The five regions’ sacred grounds would basically give birth to a Sage every 100 years, and each Sage was a peerless prodigy.

However, even if it was these peerless prodigies, those that could truly reach a step before the Sage stage were just a handful. As for those that could successfully transcend tribulations and become Great Sages, they were extremely rare.

Each existence that could become a Sage was the cream of the crop and could kill enemies of higher cultivation levels like a piece of cake. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to get through the Heavenly Tribulation’s lightning test to become Sages.

It was thousands of times more difficult for a Soul Formation cultivator to kill a Sage cultivator than a Golden Core cultivator killing a Nascent Soul cultivator!

If not, the feat of Divine Firmament’s First Senior Brother, Chu Longhe, self-destructing and bringing seven people down with him would not have shocked the five regions and even Middle Ground’s Celestial Dynasty.

It could be said that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s rise was indeed due to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader keeping a low profile and scheming artfully. At the same time, Chu Longhe’s rage, which had allowed him to bring down seven Sages, had also astounded many powerful enemies.

One had to know that Zhang Longyuan and Chu Longhe were called the “dual prodigies”, and it was obvious that the former was much more cunning than the latter.

If Chu Longhe could directly self-destruct and bring down seven Sages with him once enraged, then what if Zhang Longyuan also flared up if the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was driven to a corner?

When two equally matched parties clashed, one had to know that a wicked and cunning opponent would be much more frightening than a brainless opponent.

Thus, those forces that were originally coveting the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had chosen to cease hostilities.

Meanwhile, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had also started to recover under the Sacred Leader’s lead.

...

Cough, cough, we’ve run off-topic.

Anyway, since ancient times, the number of Soul Formation cultivators that could kill Sages was even rarer than seeing a Sage cultivator.

An existence with such battle prowess would have a status that could be on par with Sages’ or even higher status than normal Sages.

If there were no mishaps, they would have the possibility to become Great Sages or even transcend their tribulations and ascend.

Such an existence was called “Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable”, which meant that such was the limit of the Soul Formation/Mighty Prowess stage/realm.

Of course, some demon races had given an equivalent name to Nascent Soul/Nirvana stage/realm cultivators/practitioners, that being “Limitless Supremacy”, which meant a Supremacy without limits.

If the five regions thought highly and worshiped a Supremacy that could defeat a Heavenly Venerable, then if Shen Tian could defeat a Sage in the Nascent Soul stage... the whole five regions would most likely go crazy!

Shen Tian suddenly felt like showing off while he was understanding the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

Indeed, being handsome has its advantages. Even someone as great as the Great Empress could not resist teaching me cultivation techniques again and again.

The imperial-grade heritages that I possess are already so many that I can’t possibly finish practicing them!

Sigh... This might be the worry of being too handsome!

Jokes aside, Shen Tian was quite concentrated when learning this cultivation technique. He was not dumb, after all.

The Great Empress was so powerful that even his great-godfather could not begin to compare.

Thus, how weak could the cultivation techniques she had taught be? He would definitely try his best to cultivate them unless his brain spoiled from being struck by Mixed Divine Lightning.

Shen Tian sat down cross-legged and started to concentrate on comprehending the cultivation techniques.

Just like how Divine Firmament’s Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art was split into Body Tempering cultivation technique, Qi Refinement cultivation technique, and the forbidden chapter, the Chaotic Tinder Sutra was also split into different chapters.

“The Chaotic Tinder Body Tempering Art uses chaotic aura to strengthen one’s physical body and create the Connate Chaotic Golden Body, which sounds impressive!

“The Chaotic Tinder Forging Art uses chaotic aura to form one’s life weapon that will grow together. In the future, it will become a Dao weapon that can counter all other arts?

“The Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art can devour all supreme treasures and extraordinary items in the world. It can even convert a prodigy’s constitution into one’s foundation, and thus one can be reborn.

“Once one trains this cultivation technique to the extreme, they will be able to achieve Postnatal Chaotic Body and cultivate the Chaotic Tinder Sutra?”

...

The Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art attracted Shen Tian’s attention.

Evidently, this cultivation technique was not of the same series as the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, or it could be said that the path one would take would be completely different.

If the path the Chaotic Tinder Sutra took was the supreme Dao of uprightness and dignity, wherein chaotic aura was used to create a supreme foundation and thus walk the path of invincibility, then the Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art was more like a stubborn and rugged trail that used other cultivators as nourishment to create a defective Chaotic Body.

The Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art seemed to have been created for a certain existence with a constitution that prevented it from learning the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

Once one achieved a defective Chaotic Body, they would be able to refine and control chaotic aura. Then they would start cultivating the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

From a certain point of view, this mystic art could be viewed as the foundation for the Chaotic Tinder Sutra’s actual chapters.

To Shen Tian, this mystic art was not very useful. Even if he did not cultivate it, he could also refine chaotic aura.

However, it did not mean that the Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art was useless. On the contrary, this cultivation technique was beyond Shen Tian’s imagination!

Although the Chaotic Tinder Sutra seemed almighty, just how many people could establish one’s foundation using chaotic aura in the whole five regions or even the Celestial World?

It was only possible if one had the kind of supreme constitution that only existed in legends, the Connate Chaotic Body.

However, the Connate Chaotic Body rarely appeared and only existed in legends.

If one did not have such a constitution, then no matter how powerful the Chaotic Tinder Sutra was, it would be a useless sutra.

However, this Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art was incredible as it found another way around it, absorbing other cultivators to forcibly form the Postnatal Chaotic Body.

It was not exaggerating to say that this mystic art “seized the makings of heaven”.

Suppose one could really master this mystic art. In that case, they could greatly strengthen their physique even if they could not train it to the extreme and obtain the Postnatal Chaotic Body, becoming invincible compared to others of the same cultivation level.

If Shen Tian guessed correctly, then the prodigies that had been deciphering the forbidden tablet in the past had most likely been deciphering this mystic art.

It was a pity that even this Everchanging Heaven Devouring Art was not something that normal prodigies had the qualifications to learn.

Those that the tablet had absorbed had most likely been devoured by this cultivation technique instead. This mystic art was simply too dangerous!

If not, the Kun race’s ancestors would have left behind the mystic technique.

...

Huff!

Shen Tian sighed.

The difficulty of the heritage that he obtained this time was over the roof.

It’s a good thing that I’m outstanding enough, or else I wouldn’t be able to cultivate it even if I obtained the heritage.

Shen Tian ignored Ye Qingcang, who was at the side screaming at him for “service charge”, and entered a mediation state.

Well, it was mainly to concentrate on comprehending the supreme cultivation techniques. It was definitely not because he wanted to escape from answering Ye Qingcang!

At the same time, in the Kun race’s forbidden valley...

Shen Tian A and Shen Tian B also slowly opened their eyes. Their eyes were glistening with wisdom.

“This technique is very miraculous. It can actually refine chaotic aura.”

“Our main body cannot have any mishaps, so how about we try it out?”

Shen Tian B’s body gradually disappeared, forming a ball of blood and a ball of silvery-white chaotic aura that surged toward Shen Tian A’s body.

That’s right, silvery-white.

The chaotic aura, which originally enveloped Chaotic Star Island, was pale gray.

However, after entering Shen Tian B’s body, that chaotic aura had started to crazily absorb the five-elemental extraordinary items’ energy and slowly turned silvery-white.

It was as if this ball of chaotic aura had been activated.

“According to the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, the hardest first step of cultivating it is to devour and refine chaotic aura, and then stabilize it within one’s body.”

Shen Tian A’s eyes shone brightly. His Connate Constitution had increased his aptitude for enlightenment to the maximum.

“The Chaotic Tinder Body Tempering Art needs to devour a large amount of chaotic aura. The risk of using chaotic aura for body tempering is simply too high. It’s no use strengthening this body, so why not I start cultivating the Chaotic Tinder Forging Art first?

“Yeap. Let’s just give it a try. It’ll at most only result in death!”

...

A handsome figure was sitting cross-legged in the silent valley.

The five elements’ aura was slowly merging with the silvery-white chaotic aura within him. It was just like a dough that was changing shape.

This Chaotic Tinder Forging Art stressed using chaotic aura to forge a life weapon. It would grow stronger with the cultivator and be able to counter all arts.

Shen Tian seriously doubted that the person who had created this mystic technique had transmigrated from Jingdong. Such a setting was simply a duplicate!

Of course, this was not important.

More importantly, Shen Tian now had a phobia of choice, just like the young Ye Fan[1]

The core of one’s life weapon was extremely important to the master.

If one was unsatisfied with it, they could break it and reforge it. However, the energy one needed to consume and the time needed to spend would be quite troublesome.

Thus, it was best to forge a satisfying one from the start.

What should I forge? An armor? A helmet? A staff?

Or a death knell? No, no, it’s too inauspicious and might easily cause my death.

A cauldron like Ye Fan’s? That’s not a good choice. Using the cauldron to smash people feels weird. I would rather smash using a hammer!

How about just forge a sword? At least it’ll look cool when I carry it or use it. Whether or not it’s powerful is just temporary, while whether it looks beautiful or not is a lifetime thing.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian’s most powerful killing technique was the Flying Sword Technique, and its sword intent seemed to resonate with the chaotic aura.

If a sword of chaos was created, this sword technique’s power would most likely increase, right?

At the same time, Shen Tian also had some ideas of the sword’s appearance.

Yeap, I’ve decided. I’ll forge a sword!

Shen Tian made up his mind and started to form his life weapon.

He rapidly formed hand seals according to the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.

The countless hand seals merged within the five-elemental chaotic aura ball, and the silvery-white chaotic aura started to change its appearance toward a rod.

That’s right, Shen Tian had tried his best to forge it for 20+ hours, and in the end, he made a rod...

Since he had only started to learn the Chaotic Tinder Forging Art, he still did not know much about this supreme mystic art. His cultivation level was also a little too weak.

Therefore, even though he knew how to forge the chaotic life weapon, it was still strenuous while forging. He felt as if he could not control the chaotic aura properly.

Well, to put in simple words, “My eyes say that I have learned it already, but my hands say I have not.”

However, it was alright for the weapon to look ugly now as it would slowly transform into his ideal appearance.

As for this “rod” now, he would temporarily call it a sword fetus!

Originally, he wanted to forge it to look like the Executing Heaven Sword, but it seemed to be too difficult currently.

It was strange to mention, it might be coincidence or his illusion, but Shen Tian had seen that Great Empress display her sword technique before.

He felt that the sword the Great Empress had been holding looked similar to the Executing Heaven Sword...

He did not know if that Executing Heaven Sword was made according to that sword in the Great Empress’ hands. If it was really so, then he wouldn’t go wrong if he used that sword as the blueprint.

Hmm... I think I should find a few books about forging when I have the time. At least, I’ll have more references in terms of appearance.

...

His imagination was running wild, but he did not stop circulating the cultivation technique.

The process of forging Shen Tian’s life weapon was extremely smooth and short. A three-feet-long silver sword fetus appeared in front of Shen Tian.

Shen Tian’s mouth twitched as he looked at the uneven sword that practically had no sense of beauty.

Did I create a rod?

The process of forging was smooth... Hell no!

Shen Tian felt extremely frustrated. This was the first time he had encountered such a high difficulty cultivation technique ever since he had transmigrated.

Frankly speaking, this cultivation technique had even gradually attracted his interest!

Shen Tian decided that he definitely wanted to master this cultivation technique!

He was not going to stop—he would continue cultivating it!

Just as Shen Tian wanted to continue forging the sword fetus to make it look better, his expression suddenly changed.

He felt that the whole valley was shaking vigorously while the surrounding space was rapidly collapsing.

A surging tide of energy swept everything in its path, and the Spirit Qi that had almost turned into mist gushed outside like a tsunami.

At the forbidden valley’s entrance, the auras of 10 powerful Heavenly Venerables suddenly exploded. They were the 10 elders presiding over the valley!

They were all currently looking toward the valley’s depths in horror.

“The forbidden valley is collapsing! How is this possible!?”

Such drastic changes had not occurred even when the Kun race’s ancestors had been deciphering the tablet!

...

Boom!

A bright green light soared into the sky before the astounded elders’ eyes.

It instantly pierced through the bottomless abyss and flew toward the sea surface.

All the restrictions and array formations were instantly penetrated. They were completely useless in front of it, unable to stop it at all.

If the 10 elders did not see wrongly, then that seemed to be a tablet!

F*ck! OMG!

The forbidden tablet had flown away!
