I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 399: Lotus Thearch: Hit Me With Your Full Strength!!!

Upon sensing the chaotic aura in Shen Tian’s body, the Lotus Thearch’s body trembled, and he even pulled out a part of his white mustache.

“Your constitution is just too frightening. Not only are you able to accommodate overt ten extraordinary items, but you even dare to store something like the chaotic aura within you.”

The Lotus Thearch took a deep breath as his eyes were filled with astonishment.

As a powerful Thearch, how could the Lotus Thearch not know how terrifying the chaotic aura was?

It was a power that even a Thearch could not control!

However, in the end?

He actually saw it in the body of a Nirvana weakling. Not only did he have chaotic aura, but it was even merged with him.

It was simply mind-blowing!

“Senior Lotus Thearch, have I successfully passed the test?”

Shen Tian smiled with composure.

What he had done was not simply merging the chaotic aura into his body!

Before the Connate Chaotic Body, even chaotic aura could only become his nourishment and be controlled by him as if it were his limbs.

The Lotus Thearch’s mouth twitched.

Aren’t you a little freakish?

Not only do you have two types of wood-attribute extraordinary items, but you even have three types of supreme-grade Extraordinary Fire. You’re really born for alchemy!

Also, the chaotic aura... It’s something I have been pursuing my whole life!

The Lotus Thearch was overjoyed and shocked.

Looks like I have extremely good luck! I never expected to be able to meet so many talented fated people the first time the tomb was activated.

Not to mention Shen Tian’s monstrous constitution, just that girl’s Linglong Sage Body would also be one of the top physical constitutions even in the era 100,000 years ago.

Although that little Phoenix from the Immortal Phoenix race is slightly lacking as she does not have wood-attribute energy, she’s also quite talented.

Is it possible that my alchemy heritage can finally be promoted and brought to a greater height of development?

“Your constitutions temporarily satisfied my requirements.

“Next is the second test.

“The second test will test your talent for alchemy.

“When learning alchemy, one will need not only the corresponding constitution but also talent in terms of alchemy.”

The Lotus Thearch pretended to be calm as he explained the next test.

“There are 108 murals here that record 108 methods of creating pills. You have three days to study them all you want, and no one will disturb you in those three days. As long as you successfully learn enough methods of creating pills, I will acknowledge you.”

The Lotus Thearch waved his hand, and instantly the surrounding scenery changed.

A humongous stone wall floated in front of the three of them.

108 murals were carved on the stone wall, which recorded the 108 profound methods of creating pills.

One had to know that the Lotus Thearch was the best in alchemy, so his methods of creating pills were unmatched. They could definitely be compared to imperial sutras in terms of value.

Those murals were carved with vivid images and surrounded by dense mist, making them seem extremely mysterious.

“108 postures... of creating pills?”

“So many?”

Shen Tian frowned. He had never studied alchemy before, so he was not very clear about the ways of alchemy.

However, to the cultivators in the five regions, the power of alchemy was unrivaled.

Try imagining two cultivators battling it out to the death. Suppose both sides were heavily injured as they matched each other in strength, but then suddenly, one of them took out a pill and was completely healed. Wouldn’t that make the other despair?

That was not a pill but a second life!

Of course, normal pills were quite useless to Shen Tian. He had the Five Elements vitalizing each other within him, so his recovery ability was unprecedented. He could be said to have a limitless mana buff.

In addition, he had kiloliters of Triple Light Divine Water and Nirvana Holy Liquid, which were both supreme-grade healing elixirs that did not pale in comparison to top pills at all.

It could be said that Shen Tian did not need pills at all!

However, Shen Tian still wanted those alchemy techniques.

It was mainly because he had large amounts of spirit herbs from various mystic realms in his interspatial ring. Those spirit herbs were so precious that even if he just took out one of them, other cultivators would fight for it and might. It could lead to a bloodbath and make blood flow like a river.

However, those herbs were really not much of use to Shen Tian. Normally, he would just eat them as vegetables or fruits after a meal to wash away the greasy taste.

Nonetheless, Shen Tian’s eyes lit up when he saw these alchemy techniques. If he learned alchemy, then he would be able to make those spirit herbs into pills. They would definitely taste better after they were turned into pills rather than just eating them raw, right?

Also, even if Shen Tian could not finish eating, he could give them to others. He could even gift them to other cultivators that were blessed by providence if he ran into them in the future.

Then it would be much simpler to freeload off them!

At that thought, Shen Tian was instantly filled with eagerness.

I’m definitely going to learn alchemy!

...

“The test begins!”

The surroundings suddenly became quiet after the Lotus Thearch spoke. The 108 murals simultaneously emitted a slight amount of Dao that elaborated the most exquisite and ingenious alchemy techniques.

Shi Linglong was the first to sit down cross-legged. She stared straight at the murals on the stone wall and started studying them carefully.

She kept on moving her hands to trace the scene of pill making, demonstrating the alchemy techniques in the murals.

As she continued practicing, her proficiency in those alchemy techniques increased rapidly.

Time passed by minutes and seconds, and she became more adept in using those alchemy techniques. Her posture looked elegant, as if it was compatible with the Dao of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, Shi Linglong shone brightly, and a dense pocket of void appeared behind her, glowing radiantly in all colors.

That pocket of void seemed illusory as it kept on displaying the pill-making scenery, which made the divine light on Shi Linglong shine even more brilliantly.

Her fingers danced as she cultivated the alchemy technique, and the light enshrouding her made her look as if she was creating heaven and earth.

“She’s quite talented. She has actually successfully comprehended the first mural in just five minutes.”

The Lotus Thearch nodded. He could see that Shi Linglong had some foundation in alchemy. Also, her Linglong Sage Body had a high affinity with all Daos

“I wonder how much she can learn in the end.”

The Lotus Thearch’s eyes were filled with anticipation. Those 108 murals contained all the alchemy techniques that he had learned in his lifetime. Each alchemy technique was unique, and they were all the best of the best.

Normal cultivators would improve greatly if they learned even one of the techniques on the murals.

Of course, the difficulty of cultivating those techniques was also extremely high.

Even if Shi Linglong had the Linglong Sage Body, it was impossible for her to learn all of them within the specified time. However, it was already enough for her to benefit for life if she was able to even learn 10-20% of them.

“I wonder how’s that kid doing?”

Lotus Thearch turned to look at Shen Tian, his eyes filled with strong anticipation. He really wanted to know just how high that young man’s aptitude for enlightenment was.

He only saw Shen Tian sitting in front of the murals and his body shining brightly as if he was a blazing sun.

There was a humongous avatar behind him.

Laws were surrounding that figure orderly as if all the Daos beneath heaven descended upon this place.

The most frightening thing was that figure’s movements, which were mysterious and unpredictable. His hands moved quickly, and he had already learned from the first to the fourth mural in the blink of an eye—his speed was so fast it was unbelievable!

F*ck, just what kind of monster is he!?

He has already reached the fourth mural in just five minutes?

Also, if I did not see wrongly, he most likely did not know alchemy beforehand.

Or else, he would not be that stiff when learning the first mural.

That is to say... he’s still a beginner!?

He’s able to comprehend four of my supreme imperial-level alchemy techniques the first time he’s exposed to alchemy!?

It was definitely outrageous even if the Lotus Thearch had shared the alchemy techniques willingly.

The Lotus Thearch even doubted himself when he saw Shen Tian’s speed.

Those 108 murals were the essence of his lifetime alchemy understanding. It could be said to be the peak alchemy heritage in the whole five regions known for its supremacy and mystery.

His understanding of alchemy that he had spent 10,000 years to sort out was not something as easy as learning how to count!

It’s impossible for him to comprehend them so easily! This doesn’t make sense!

...

Shen Tian did not know that his speed of comprehending the alchemy techniques had already made the Lotus Thearch doubt himself.

Shen Tian was currently trying his best to activate his Connate Heavenly Dao Eyes and trying to deduce and cultivate those alchemy techniques.

Due to the Connate Constitution, he naturally had a high affinity with all Daos. Therefore, it would be a piece of cake for him to learn all cultivation techniques with his Connate Constitution.

Thus, under the enhancement of his Connate Constitution, Shen Tian’s speed of learning those alchemy techniques was so fast it was frightening.

5 Murals!

10 Murals!

15 Murals!

...

107 Murals!

108 Murals!

In the beginning, when Shen Tian was learning the first few murals, it could be said that Shen Tian was unfamiliar as he had just started studying alchemy.

But as his understanding of alchemy deepened, his speed of enlightenment for those subsequent murals was even increasing.

In just half a day, Shen Tian had learned all 108 murals completely.

The Lotus Thearch was completely stunned.

“Senior Lotus Thearch, I have finished learning all of them.”

Shen Tian stood up slowly, his eyes shining vaguely. The huge figure also completely disappeared and completely entered Shen Tian’s body. That made Shen Tian’s aura become denser, as if he was a powerful alchemist.

In fact, it was indeed so.

Those 108 murals that Shen Tian had learned were the Lotus Thearch’s lifelong knowledge.

Just any one of those 108 alchemy techniques could surpass any normal alchemist with ease.

Currently, Shen Tian had learned all 108, so he had directly achieved greater mastery in alchemy. He could even be compared to a mighty figure that had cultivated alchemy for thousands of years.

If Shen Tian was willing, then any pill he created would cause countless cultivators in the five regions to fight for it—it would spark a bloodbath!

“Well... You’re not bad.”

The Lotus Thearch licked his lips and pretended to be calm, but he was already in an uproar inside.

Not only was Shen Tian not bad, but he was simply a monster!

Even the Lotus Thearch himself would not be able to learn all 108 alchemy techniques in just half a day.

However, not only did Shen Tian successfully do so, but he actually reached the greater mastery stage?

Just what kind of absurd speed was that? He was too fast! Men can’t be so fast!

Is it possible that this kid is not some Nirvana weakling but a certain peerless prodigy from the Celestial World?

In that instant, Lotus Thearch started doubting himself. He was even doubting whether or not his alchemy techniques had been secretly leaked and just nicely Shen Tian had obtained them.

If not, what happened would be too unbelievable.

The Lotus Thearch could not figure it out at all!

“You’re quite talented, just slightly lacking as compared to when I was young.”

The Lotus Thearch’s face turned red as he said that to Shen Tian.

“Senior, you’re flattering me.”

Shen Tian smiled. He was practically a noob in alchemy, so he definitely deserved to be proud of himself if he was able to be compared to the Thearch that was renowned as the best in alchemy 10,000 years ago, even if he paled in comparison.

Anyway, he had just learned the techniques for fun. It would be fine if he was able to just make pills.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Shi Linglong felt gratified but also regretful when she awoke from the enlightenment state.

Those 108 alchemy techniques were too profound. She was unable to learn all the alchemy techniques of the murals in three days, even with her Linglong Sage Body.

However, she did have a bountiful gain.

After this bout of enlightenment, Shi Linglong’s alchemy skills had improved greatly and helped save at least 100 years of hard work.

“Not bad, you’re quite good. You actually comprehended 49 alchemy techniques in just three days.”

The Lotus Thearch revealed an amiable smile as he was extremely satisfied with Princess Linglong. She could be considered one of the top prodigies since she was able to comprehend 49 alchemy techniques.

Even if she was compared to all the prodigies of the five regions, she would definitely be one of the top ones.

Of course, the Lotus Thearch excluded a certain unmatched genius.

If she were to be compared with Shen Tian, not only Princess Linglong, even if a Thearch was reborn, said Thearch would become autistic from the chasm separating them.

“Thank you for your praise, Senior.”

Shi Linglong was also overjoyed. It was naturally a good thing to be acknowledged by the Thearch.

She then asked as if she had suddenly thought of something, “How about Brother Shen? How many did he comprehend?”

“That kid comprehended all 108 murals on the first day.”

The Lotus Thearch had a weird expression.

Why did she ask such a question? You’re asking for it! You can’t blame me for it!

The Lotus Thearch originally thought that Princess Linglong would definitely be discouraged after learning about Shen Tian’s ability and would feel frustrated from the setback.

Of course, the Lotus Thearch was a compassionate person, so he had specially changed the “half a day” to “one day”.

This way, Shi Linglong would not suffer too much of a setback!

However, he was wrong.

After hearing the Lotus Thearch’s words, Princess Linglong revealed an expression of happiness. She was even more overjoyed than when hearing herself being praised.

...

“He comprehended all 108 alchemy techniques in just one day? So awesome! as expected of Brother Shen!”

Princess Linglong revealed a brilliant smile.

Since even a Thearch has acknowledged Brother Shen’s talent, my father would most likely not stop us...

Then Shi Linglong blushed as if she had thought of something.

I’m so happy~

Looking at Princess Linglong, who was letting her imagination run wild, the Lotus Thearch broke out in cold sweat.

Well, who knew how a remnant consciousness was able to perspire!?

“Alright, now it’s time for the third test.

“This third test is to test your combat talents.

“Although alchemy pays attention to creating pills, you need to ensure your own safety before you can save others. Thus, you only have the qualifications to help others if you are powerful enough.

“Or else, if because of gratitude and grudges or cause and effect, it would be difficult to save yourself, and you might even draw fire against yourself.”

The Lotus Thearch sighed and revealed a shred of melancholy as if he had remembered some sorrowful event of the past.

Seeing how the Lotus Thearch was down, Shen Tian could not help but murmur inwardly.

Is it possible that this Thearch had encountered some medical disputes when he was young?

Since such medical disputes occur anywhere, one must learn how to kill before learning how to save others!

“This third test is to battle with my clone.

“You can learn my cultivation techniques and martial arts through my clone.”

Although the Lotus Thearch was known for his alchemy skills, no cultivator that had become a Thearch in history was weak in terms of battle prowess.

Dislike for battles did not mean one could not fight!

“Of course, I will limit the cultivation level of my clone to the same level as you.

“You only need to use your full strength and display what you have learned. Try your best to last in front of me, only then will I be able to judge your strength.”

As a Thearch, even if his cultivation level was suppressed to the same level, it was enough to dominate the whole five regions.

Shortly after, powerful energy enveloped the three of them.

The scenery in front of Shen Tian changed, and the surroundings became a foggy space.

Princess Linglong and Feng Wu had already disappeared.

It was obvious that they were tested separately this time.

...

“Kid, your constitution and talent are quite good.

“However, you also need to pay attention to controlling your own strength in the path of alchemy. It’s very important to control your strength within a precise range.”

A green figure slowly appeared in the sky, emitting a powerful aura.

Azure green flames surrounded him, and there was even a humongous green lotus avatar behind him.

That figure was the Lotus Thearch!

“You need to control both fire and wood-attribute power in alchemy.

“However, these two powers cannot only be used to make pills and save people, but they can also bring out mighty battle strength.

“Today, I shall teach you how to activate your wood and fire-attribute power to the maximum!”

The Lotus Thearch’s voice was serious and majestic.

The azure green flames surrounding him suddenly surged.

The blazing green flames soared into the sky and pierced through the clouds with a fearsome strength that could incinerate everything.

The space started to become distorted and collapse under such a strength, burning into nothingness.

The green lotus behind the Lotus Thearch slowly bloomed, and its power could make even heaven and earth tremble.

That 12th Stage Lotus bloomed, and green light shone radiantly, full of vigorous vitality that would energize people.

Azure green flames soared into the sky and entangled with the 12th Stage Lotus, forming a huge lotus flower in green flames that looked just like a flaming lotus flower.

“Use your full strength to attack me!”

Lotus Thearch spoke coldly as he held the green fire lotus in his hands as if he was a fire god that descended.

This request made Shen Tian feel awkward. “Senior, I shouldn’t do such a thing!”

“Don’t worry, you won’t be able to injure me,” said the Lotus Thearch calmly.

As a Thearch, he had the confidence of being invincible among cultivators of the same cultivation level even if his cultivation level was suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage. As long as he was not careless, even experienced Heavenly Venerables would not be able to so much as harm a hair on his head.

Although this young Nirvana fellow’s constitution and talent are exceptional, it can’t be he thinks he can harm me, right?’

“It’s too impolite.”

Shen Tian still shook his head as he felt he would be rude.

The Lotus Thearch said impatiently, “You shouldn’t be this dilly-dally as a man. Use your full strength to hit me.”

Cultivators were fighting against the heavens for a slim chance of survival. Therefore, how could he trample over his peers if he could not even dare to attack the Lotus Thearch’s remnant consciousness?

...

“Alright then!”

Seeing that the Lotus Thearch insisted, Shen Tian sighed. He took a deep breath and started to circulate his hidden strength.

The extraordinary items’ energy was mobilized, so it instantly made Shen Tian’s aura extremely powerful.

At that moment, endless fearsome avatars appeared behind Shen Tian, while blazing Exceptional Fires soared into the sky as if wanting to burn everything in their path.

The three flames merged together and erupted, giving off an aura of destruction.

Afterward, water surged like torrential waves, bringing about extremely violent energy. Following that, the power of wood, earth, and metal... started to gush out non-stop!

In that instant, Shen Tian unleashed all the strength of the extraordinary items within him.

The power of Five Elements surged straight into the clouds, which made even the sky lose its color.

There were even numerous avatars like Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Crimson Phoenix, Black Tortoise, Kun Peng, Peacock, and so on, soaring and dominating the sky.

Even space was about to collapse due to the avatars’ emergence.

...

At the same time, Shen Tian’s body exuded a magnificent golden and silver aura—the power of his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage was unleashed to the maximum.

Shen Tian then wore the Divine Firmament’s Divine Armor. He looked extremely ethereal as he spread out his golden wings.

The Lotus Thearch’s mouth could not help but twitch vigorously as he witnessed this scene.

He originally thought that Shen Tian only had an impressive talent for alchemy.

However, he never expected Shen Tian’s battle strength to be so outrageous too.

The strength of this fellow is comparable to a Sage’s!

Is he really only a Nirvana practitioner?

There’s no such Nirvana practitioner! You must be joking!

The Lotus Thearch felt worried as his clone’s cultivation level was at the Nascent Soul stage.

Why do I feel like... I might be unable to block his attack?

...

The Lotus Thearch was already feeling uneasy, but Shen Tian’s battle intent had just been aroused.

From Shen Tian’s point of view, since the Lotus Thearch had requested for him to use his full strength, he naturally had to respect the Lotus Thearch’s choice.

Also, Shen Tian wanted to find out just how powerful a Thearch was when in the same cultivation level!

I want to know how big the difference between me and a Thearch is!

At that thought, Shen Tian’s battle prowess that had already reached the level of a Sage instantly increased again and shot through the roof!

“God of War Transformation!”

Shen Tian bellowed, and eye-blinding radiance exploded from within him.

His extraordinary items’ power merged as he circulated his God of War Transformation cultivation technique.

The Five Elements vitalized each other, so they gradually became one.

The extraordinary items’ power circulated in Shen Tian’s body, which made him overflow with colorful light, and his aura had increased endlessly.

Instantly, a lock of hair stood up on his head.

The golden light Shen Tian emitted became even brighter, and the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage power was unleashed to the maximum.

At that instant, Shen Tian seemed to be truly a God of War that had descended.

Both his appearance and battle prowess had reached the extreme!

...

Shen Tian took a deep breath before looking toward the Lotus Thearch.

“Senior, please advise me!”
