I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 357: Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader, Traveling With The Saint

Complete silence!

Majestic figures appeared beside the lake, the aura of each of them unfathomable.

It was obvious they were all Sages, and they had rushed there at full speed after sensing the Dao Imparting Tablet’s appearance.

Originally, the appearance of a supreme treasure like the Dao Imparting Tablet would definitely cause disputes between the Sages. Even though they had agreed beforehand, they would find excuses to tear up the agreement.

After all, such a thing like a gentleman agreement would only be effective when the temptation was not huge enough.

Once the temptation exceeded a certain extent, a gentleman would also become a hypocrite.

It’s all because this fortuitous opportunity is just too tempting~

However, all the Sages were currently just looking at that Dao Imparting Tablet silently. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was standing proudly in front of the Dao Imparting Tablet, so no one dared to move a muscle.

Blood was still gushing out of the Fire Sage’s corpse, which was sliced into two. He was a mighty being that was half step away from the True Sage stage.

Although his character and bearing were bad, his strength was not to be questioned.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was able to kill the Fire Sage with one slash, so nobody knew just how strong he was.

Also, it was evident from what the Sacred Leader had done that he was establishing prestige for his successor and intimidating all the powerful beings in the five regions and eight wildernesses.

Only then could Shen Tian grow and develop smoothly. It would be unlikely for him to be targeted by enemy forces or even die regretfully at a young age before he could reach the top.

At such a moment, the Sacred Leader’s killing intent was the strongest, so anyone who tried to prevent him from doing so would become his target!

Now that the situation was still unclear, no one would dare to risk their lives to go against the Sacred Leader.

Even if someone really made the first move, that person might not be able to obtain the tablet. At the same time, the Sacred Leader would definitely adopt a hostile attitude toward them.

“If the Nine Sun Sacred Ground feels dissatisfied, tell them to hold it. I’ll go and find them in the future.”

The Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura surged vigorously while endless lightning filled the sky. Soon, the Sacred Leader’s striking figure became visible as he restrained his sword aura.

The Sacred Leader had already intimidated everyone present with his aura alone.

He looked at where Shen Tian was, nonchalantly.

“Tian’er, come here!”

Shen Tian and the others hurried back leisurely; not even one speck of dust could be seen on them.

Especially Shen Tian, he kept a smile on his face as if saying everything had gone according to his plan.

Even when the Fire Sage had charged toward him, Shen Tian had shown no signs of fear as if the Fire Sage was not a Sage but just someone that was not worth mentioning.

Looking at Shen Tian’s bearing and courage alone, it was enough for him to be ranked the first amongst other young cultivators. After all, the pressure of a Sage’s aura was extremely fearsome for them.

The fact that he, a Golden Core cultivator, was able to endure the Sage aura while being calm and composed was already commendable.

The Divine Firmament Saint indeed lived up to his reputation!

Shen Tian stood before the Sacred Leader and gradually bowed. “Thank you for saving us, Master.”

The Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura swayed gently as he patted Shen Tian’s shoulder. “I’m your Master. What’s yours should be yours.”

After saying that, the Sacred Leader looked toward the other Sages beside the lake.

“To prevent battles between Sages, we made an agreement before entering Immortal Abode Island. The fortuitous opportunity belongs to the first person that discovers it, and other forces cannot snatch it. Otherwise, all the Sages will drive out the person or force at fault together.

“Our sect had also exchanged for the mine with the Black Snake race for the equivalent price. We did not take it away by force or trickery.

“The Fire Sage was half a step away from becoming a True Sage, but he actually made a move and snatched the fortuitous opportunity from my sect’s Saint. Thus, he deserved to die. Does anyone have any objections regarding this matter?”

The Sacred Leader then looked at the various Sages, his aura becoming even more unfathomable.

In that instant, only an immense pressure that Sages could sense filled the whole lake.

He’s actually this strong!

A feminine voice sounded from within a cluster of blue divine light beside the lake. “The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader followed the rules when trading with our race. Hence, we, the Black Snake race, support the Sacred Leader’s actions.”

That was the Hidden Whirlpool Sage from the Black Snake race. She was Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming’s mother and doted on her.

As for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader personally binding and handing Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to the Black Snake, she was very supportive of his actions and extremely gratified.

In addition, the agreed price for the traded mine was high enough, so the Black Snake race was very satisfied. As such, they were now on good terms with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Therefore, the Hidden Whirlpool Sage had chosen to support the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

With a Sage taking the lead, the other Sages also decided to swallow their pride.

“The Hidden Whirlpool Sage is right. We made an agreement beforehand. The Fire Sage broke the rules, so he deserved to die.”

“Even if the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not act, the Golden Crow Flames would burn him to ashes anyway. The Sacred Leader ended his pain by giving him a swift death.”

“The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader rendered good for evil. How admirable! You’re really a great man!”

...

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura swayed gently. “Justice is in the eyes of the beholder. Everyone, thank you for speaking up for me.

“I’m not an unreasonable person. Although Tian’er discovered this tablet, it’s important to share and communicate in the path of cultivation. We should be open to exchanges.

“Our sect is willing to share the tablet with everyone and decipher it together. One’s strength will decide how much you can comprehend.”

Share the imperial tablet’s heritage?

The Sacred Leader’s words instantly left all the Sages dumbstruck.

That tablet contained an imperial sutra and one of the most powerful ones at that.

Although it lacked the most important forbidden chapters, its price was still immeasurable.

Just how generous was he to be able to easily share such an important supreme heritage with everyone?

As expected of the legendary Sacred Leader!

“However, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

“Tian’er paid a huge price to summon the Dao Imparting Tablet, so I hope everyone could... You know what I mean.”

The Sacred Leader suddenly changed his attitude. His voice was cold, and it was as if he was saying something perfectly normal.

Next, a period of secret conversation followed...

Only those negotiating could hear clearly while the others would not be able to hear anything.

Even the Sacred Leader’s voice demanding for benefits could only be heard clearly by Sage-level and above existences.

Of course, Shen Tian was the exception.

...

Time passed by minutes and seconds, and the expressions of the Sages under the divine light were utterly different.

Some Sages were mad with joy, some were relieved, some were twitching from being upset, and some others had dark expressions.

However, those Sages were obviously more reasonable than the Fire Sage. None of them had fallen out with the Sacred Leader.

In the end, the frightening Sage aura in the air and tense atmosphere slowly disappeared.

The Sacred Leader turned to look at Shen Tian and sent him a voice transmission. “I’ve already negotiated the price with them for you. There’ll be no loss for you as you’ll share 50% of the profits with the sacred ground. What do you think?”

Shen Tian smiled and said, “I’ll listen to whatever Master says.”

Thank you, Master, for helping me to grow the sheep wool~

After negotiating the price, the Sages started to sit cross-legged around the tablet and started deciphering it.

Meanwhile, the Sages’ disciples were being protected in a barrier. That was because when Sages were in an enlightenment state, they would unconsciously release a powerful aura. At the same time, the tablet might also cause trouble.

If they did not receive protection from the Sages, then those at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage could easily be in danger.

“Tian’er, are you going to follow behind me or decipher the tablet with us?”

At that moment, the Sacred Leader’s words stunned the numerous Sages.

What did he ask?

Does the Divine Firmament Saint have the qualifications to decipher the tablet with us?

Can he even endure the Sage aura with his strength!?
