I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 434: Fairy Qingyue, Sacred Battle Ape!

“Y-you’re really willing to sell your allegiance to the highest bidder.” Huang Shi glared at Shen Tian before speaking, “I’ll teach you the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra now!”

He waved his hand, and instantly powerful energy surged out, entering Shen Tian’s mind.

Shen Tian trembled slightly and felt as if some profound cultivation technique had appeared within his mind.

That was the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra, and there was even an explanation by Huang Shi included!

Even the forbidden chapter of the imperial sutra was included. It was obvious that Huang Shi had taught everything to Shen Tian without reserve!

As expected of Uncle Shi!

...

Shen Tian was delighted.

Although he was already cultivating numerous imperial sutras, no one would complain about having too many of them!

Huang Shi warned, “Tian’er, don’t bite off more than you can chew. It’s best that you train one of the cultivation techniques to the maximum!”

Ye Qingcang had given him quite a lot of information and knew that Shen Tian was cultivating numerous imperial sutras.

Each imperial sutra was a Dao a Thearch had comprehended and contained mighty power. If one could master it, then they would be able to dominate the whole five regions.

Each and every existence that had created an imperial sutra were all peerless Thearchs.

However, imperial sutras were extremely profound and difficult to understand, so if one bit off more than they could chew, then it would have the reverse effect.

Therefore, Shi Tianzi had first mastered the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra under Huang Shi’s guidance before learning other imperial sutras to use as support.

Only then could the powers of the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra be unleashed to the maximum.

The Huang Shi Imperial Sutra contained Huang Shi’s enlightenment in life and all kinds of unrivaled arts.

For example, Princess Linglong’s Black Sky Sword and Shi Tianzi’s Fist of Calamity were both from the imperial sutra. As for just how much one could learn from it, it would depend on their fate and talent.

...

“Uncle Shi, I understand.”

Shen Tian knew that it was for his own good, but he did not want to listen...

Thanks to his Connate Constitution, learning cultivation techniques was as easy as eating and drinking.

Shortly after, Shen Tian turned silent as he started cultivating the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra.

Divine light surrounded him. The light was as bright as the sun and even lit up the sky and ground.

The power of laws fell from the sky and entered Shen Tian’s body, like the Milky Way pouring into Shen Tian.

At that instant, Shen Tian’s body glowed even brighter.

Endless Dao patterns outlined the sea of laws and made the laws in that area to be extremely friendly.

Huang Shi was shocked when he saw such a scene.

Not only are his battle prowess and talent fearsome, but even his constitution is monstrous.

He is able to bring about the descent of all arts to help in his cultivation. He can achieve twice the result with half the effort no matter which cultivation technique he learns!

Looks like my worry was unnecessary.

Indeed, with the help of the laws, Shen Tian’s understanding of the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra became even deeper, and the arts that he learned increased more and more.

In just a short while, Shen Tian had actually gained control of 90% of the power of the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra!

He had even gained a thorough understanding of the forbidden chapter of the Self-Materialization.

...

The space behind Shen Tian surged crazily, and a misty aura could be seen being emitted, filling the area.

Nine figures walked out from behind Shen Tian. They looked exactly like Shen Tian, and they had a fearsome aura with various avatars behind them.

However, the cultivation techniques of those figures were different. Some used the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra, some used the True Dragon Imperial Sutra, while others used the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra...

Nonetheless, without exception, each of them possessed outstanding battle prowess.

That was the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra‘s forbidden chapter—Self-Materialization.

That cultivation technique was extremely unreasonable. It could summon different clones of oneself with similar strength but different powers!

It was simply a godly skill for AOE attacks.

That especially the case for Shen Tian, who had learned countless imperial sutras—the effects were the strongest!

Each clone could use an imperial sutra, thus completely materializing Shen Tian’s battle strength.

Though, could his clones continue creating copies? That would make him invincible. They would be like endless Matryoshka dolls!

Shen Tian exclaimed inwardly, As expected of the strongest Thearch in the five regions, he’s indeed impressive. He’s able to create even such a BUG-like mystic art!

Also, this imperial sutra could be said to be tailor-made for Shen Tian!

Although the Blood God Sutra could also create clones, the Blood God’s Son only had a portion of the original body’s strength.

The Self-Materialization clones possessed powerful battle prowess, but they would require an immense amount of laws to maintain them and could not last long.

Nonetheless, Self-Materialization could instantly create clones to surround and attack one’s opponent. More importantly, one’s clones could be used.

Therefore, it could be said that the two cultivation techniques each had their pros and cons, perfectly complimenting each other.

Using those two cultivation techniques together could be said to be a cheat!

...

Huang Shi’s mouth twitched. He had never expected that Shen Tian could grasp the Huang Shi Imperial Sutra so quickly.

Shen Tian had even learned Self-Materialization already. It was simply unbelievable.

Huang Shi had created Self-Materialization because he felt that it was difficult to gain a thorough understanding of numerous imperial sutras since he had studied and become proficient in a few imperial sutras.

Meanwhile, he could make complete use of those imperial sutras and increase his battle strength greatly with Self-Materialization!

It could be said he was able to learn infinite imperial sutras.

However, Shen Tian was even more unbelievable. He had actually cultivated so many imperial sutras to such a high level. As a result, the Self-Materialization clones’ battle strength had become extremely formidable!

Since one imperial sutra was a copy, nine imperial sutras were equal to nine slightly weaker versions of the original.

Therefore, what would happen when Shen Tian summoned nine clones to attack an opponent at all times?

Even someone as powerful as Huang Shi felt terrified.

He’s just too exceptional!

One had to know that if it was others, they would not be able to learn all the imperial sutras even if they were given dozens of imperial sutras.

One imperial sutra was already enough for top prodigies of the five regions to study it for hundreds to thousands of years. Thus, cultivating nine imperial sutras to the degree of being able to create a clone...

Frankly speaking, even Huang Shi might not be able to do such a thing himself.

More importantly, even until now, Huang Shi was unclear if that was Shen Tian’s limit!

It couldn’t be that Shen Tian had more... right?

...

“Uncle Shi, I’ve finished cultivating!”

Shen Tian stood up and looked at Huang Shi in delight.

“N-not bad! You are highly talented, almost on par with me when I was young.”

Huang Shi seemed calm and composed, but he was dumbfounded within.

Shen Tian had shocked him just too many times.

Shen Tian nodded and pouted as he spoke. “Looks like I’m still not powerful enough!”

As the strongest cultivator, Huang Shi was naturally invincible in the five regions when he was young.

Shen Tian was progressing steadily, but he also wished to become the next strongest cultivator in the five regions.

The path of cultivation is still very long. I still need to work hard!

Huang Shi, “...”

He naturally heard what Shen Tian had said, so his mouth twitched.

I was only joking, okay?

You’re not strong enough?

How much stronger do you want to become!?

Huang Shi passed the Immortal Peach Herb to Shen Tian and casually briefed him on it before making him leave.

If Shen Tian continued staying, Huang Shi would most likely not be able to take it anymore!

This kid is just too unbelievable!

...

“You’re back?”

“I’m back.”

“Looks like you’ve benefited greatly!”

“It’s all because of your guidance, main body.”

“You’re flattering me. It’s mainly because being handsome brings benefits.”

After exiting the Desolate Void Small World and returning to the 2nd Spirit Mountain, Shen Tian was in a good mood.

This time, he had really returned with bountiful gains!

Not only did he break through in his cultivation level, but he even obtained an imperial sutra, a Great Sage artifact, and an Immortal Thearch Herb!

This trip was not wasted at all!

At that moment, Shen Tian accepted Zhang Yunxi’s message.

The message mentioned the South Prince and North Prince, Shi Ling and Shi Kui.

Previously, at the Copper Sparrow Pavilion, the two of them had settled their conflicts with Shen Tian after battling, and they were counted as friends now.

The two princes wanted to find Shen Tian in hopes of volunteering to be his guides and introduce Jixia Academy to everyone.

Shen Tian naturally would not refuse as he was also curious about Jixia Academy, where all prodigies of the five regions dreamed of attending.

However, he visited the Grotto-Heaven Small World right after entering the academy, so he did not have the chance to do so.

Shen Tian thought of something, and his clones merged into his main body.

Most probably, all the other prodigies had already settled down, so it was the best chance to associate with them now.

At that thought, Shen Tian left the 2nd Spirit Mountain.

Shortly after, Shen Tian saw his good friends, prodigies from the Eastern Wilderness, and the two princes, Shi Kui and Shi Ling.

“Brother Shen, you’re still looking fine in the few days we haven’t met!”

Shi Ling and Shi Kui’s eyes lit up when they saw Shen Tian appear and hurriedly headed toward him.

Shen Tian smiled and said, “Sorry for troubling the both of you this time!”

Shi Ling and Shi Kui instantly smiled and said, “It’s nothing!”

“As expected of Brother Shen, you’re actually able to occupy the 2nd Spirit Mountain!”

Seeing that Shen Tian had come down from the 2nd Spirit Mountain, they were also jealous.

The two of them were also considering themselves lucky that they had lost beforehand and had not fought with Shen Tian. Otherwise, they would have faced crushing defeat even if they had attacked together!

Brother Shen has peerless talent, so maybe only Cousin Tianzi would be able to fight on equal grounds with him!

I wonder who might win if they really battle.

Well, according to their current displayed strength...

Most likely... Cousin Tianzi is stronger!

...

However, no matter who was stronger, they were not people the two princes could offend.

Shi Ling suggested, “Brother Shen, how about we tour around Jixia Academy now?”

Shen Tian nodded and replied, “Sure!”

They left the Grotto-Heaven Small World and headed toward Jixia Academy.

Jixia Academy’s main building was an independent world that was larger and more stable. The prodigies of the five regions would gather there, so besides the new students in this batch, students of previous batches with powerful aura could also be seen.

There were also many prodigies from the demon race with all kinds of forms.

“There are actually demon race prodigies here too!”

“Also, they seem like they’re getting along with the human race?”

“Well, not fighting on encounter is already quite good for demons and humans.”

...

The new students from Eastern Wilderness were all shocked.

One had to know that the demon and human race were on bad terms all along since the racial differences were not that easily resolved.

In the five regions, the human and demon race occupied different lands, so they would not come into contact easily.

Only in extremely rare situations would the human and demon race cooperate or be on good terms.

That was the rule that the top cultivators of both sides had set. Otherwise, it would easily result in a great war between the human and demon race!

Shi Ling smiled and explained, “There’s no race discrimination in Jixia Academy, and all those who have met the strength requirement can enter.

“The teachers had also thought of such a problem, so they had specially split the academy into two large areas.

“One is the Human Compound, which consists of human prodigies, while the other is the Demon Compound, which consists of demon prodigies!

“Heavenly Venerables and Sages of the respective races are teaching in the two compounds, and you will rarely see any teacher teaching members of the other compound.

“The demon students you saw are all disciples of the Demon Compound.

“Only by doing so could the academy minimize the confrontation between the two races and teach students in accordance with their aptitude!”

As the North Prince, Shi Ling was a student of the previous batch, so he naturally knew this place very well.

Everyone nodded. They inwardly exclaimed over Jixia Academy’s power to be able to separate and manage such matters so well. After all, the conflict between demons and humans had already lasted for a long time but was unable to be resolved.

It was hard for Jixia Academy to maintain a balance between the two races.

“Although the humans and demons are separated, the prodigies of the two compounds would frequently spar and secretly compete.”

Shi Ling shook his head. The demon prodigies wouldn’t stay peaceful.

Everyone continued advancing and soon reached the Human Compound after looking through most of the areas.

Shi Kui stepped forward and said, “This is where the human prodigies gather. You’ll also cultivate here in the future.”

That was a huge place that was filled with all kinds of buildings, and many powerful prodigies were cultivating.

This place could be said to have all kinds of shapes and structures. The cultivation grounds emerged in an endless stream, and Shen Tian was even dazzled by such a scene.

Shi Ling explained, “Besides the fixed cultivation systems, there are also many different zones, such as the Alchemy Institute, Crafting Institute, Array Formation Institute, and so on, allowing students who want to learn other arts to choose.

“Meanwhile, there are also some Cultivation Blessed-Lands such as the Isolation Chamber, Sky Jade Room, Void Platform, and so on.

“These are all powerful Blessed-Lands that could increase your strength quickly.”

Jixia Academy’s education system was perfect and could be said to be all-rounded.

That was the reason the prodigies of the five regions longed to attend Jixia Academy—the cultivation grounds here far surpassed all the sacred grounds!

After listening to Shi Ling and Shi Kui’s introduction, the prodigies from Eastern Wilderness were all tempted and prepared to choose the place they were interested in to cultivate.

However, when they headed there, they realized that each cultivation ground required paying academic credits to enter.

Most of the students were new, so they had yet to complete the academy’s missions. Naturally, they did not have any credits.

Only the new students that had occupied the 36 Spirit Mountains had credits.

At that instant, countless people were filled with resentment.

Shi Kui smiled as he explained, “Besides obtaining credits from the academy missions, you could also earn credits through making pills, forging artifacts, or killing ferocious beasts and selling them to the academy.” These were all missions set up for students to train themselves and increase their strength!

Otherwise, if everyone entered into seclusion to cultivate but did not gain experience through adventures, they would be losing more than what they were gaining!

Meanwhile, the credit system could encourage students to earn credits, so everything was interconnected. It would then be easier to nurture powerful cultivators!

Everyone instantly came to this realization, and they were then eager to start earning credits.

As expected of Jixia Academy, the dreamland for cultivation, no student in the academy would be able to resist the urge to strive to earn credits!

...

Everyone continued moving forward and finally reached an ancient tablet.

That was a 90-feet-tall tablet made from Spirit Gold, and it was shining with divine light.

There were silver engraved words on that ancient tablet. It recorded some names and honorable achievements.

Someone was curious and asked, “This is?”

Shi Kui replied, “This is the Prodigy List that records the students’ strength rankings and honorable achievements in the academy!”

The Prodigy List recorded the ranking of the prodigies in the Human Compound.

Those with outstanding strength or that had contributed to the academy would have the honor to be recorded on the Prodigy List!

Everyone’s curiosity was instantly sparked as they looked toward that tablet. They wanted to see just who were the top prodigies in the Human Compound!

The first on the Prodigy List was Shi Tianzi!

Shi Tianzi

Cultivation Level: Late-Stage Soul Formation

Achievement: Killed an Evil Spirit Sect’s Four Tribulation True Sage in one punch

nd: Fairy Qingyue

Cultivation Level: First Tribulation Sage

Achievement: Suppressed an Evil Spirit Sect’s Four Tribulation True Sage

...

Upon looking at the information on the Prodigy List, the various prodigies were shocked.

Shi Tianzi was indeed powerful. He was ranked first in the Human Compound just as he entered the academy.

Shi Tianzi was well-known and had cultivated under Huang Shi before entering the academy. He was a young paragon.

Naturally, he could enjoy unmatched glory just as he entered!

Shi Ling exclaimed, “Cousin Tianzi has unmatched battle prowess. Rumors say that he killed that Evil Spirit Sect True Sage easily, instant-kill in one strike! No one can imagine just how powerful he truly is!”

Shi Tianzi was the pride of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, and the two princes were proud of him.

The various prodigies became even more astounded.

However, they unconsciously turned their attention to Shen Tian.

They wondered just who would be stronger between the Divine Firmament Saint and Shi Tianzi.

They were extremely curious.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian just smiled and did not care much since he was extremely clear about Shi Tianzi’s battle strength.

They had just engaged in a battle not long ago. It was a difficult battle!

Yeap, a difficult battle between his clone and Shi Tianzi...

Afterward, everyone’s attention gathered on Fairy Qingyue, who was second.

Shi Kui continued explaining, “Fairy Qingyue is the 7th Saintess of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground. She has the Great Moon Constitution. Although she does not like fighting, she is extremely powerful. Her battle achievements are second only to Shi Tianzi, and she is the second most powerful cultivator in the Human Compound!”

When mentioning Fairy Qingyue, Shi Kui’s eyes were filled with admiration as if he had submitted to her.

Everyone was also stunned. The Jade Lake Sacred Ground was also one of the top sacred grounds in Eastern Wilderness.

Who would have expected that the 7th Saintess would be this powerful and be ranked second in the Human Compound!

However, the Saintess of this batch seemed to have been delayed by some matters and had not followed them.

Someone asked out of curiosity, “If the Human Compound has the Prodigy List, then the Demon Compound also has such a list?”

The demons definitely had exceptional prodigies!

Shi Ling nodded. “The most powerful cultivator of the Demon Compound is the young master of Middle Ground’s Golden-Eyed Fire Ape race—Qi Zhan. He has the Sacred Battle Ape bloodline and unmatched battle prowess. He is about to transcend the tribulation to become a Sage!

“He had used his hands to tear apart a Five Tribulation True Sage before and was accepted as an in-name disciple by Great Thearch Huang Shi. His fame is second only to Fairy Qingyue and even higher than Fairy Qingyue!”

When talking about the demon prodigies, Shi Ling’s face betrayed his fear. It was obvious that he had suffered many times in the hands of the Demon Compound prodigies.

Everyone also could not help but think, There’s actually such a powerful prodigy!?

Being able to tear apart a Five Tribulation True Sage with just Soul Formation cultivation level? He’s simply too fearsome!

It’s a good thing that there’s Shi Tianzi and the Divine Firmament Saint in this batch of new students. Otherwise, we would not be able to compete at all!

...

“Not only so, I heard that in this batch of new students, there are also many potential prodigies that entered the Demon Compound!

“Phoenix Princess Feng Wu, Dragon Prince Ao Wu, Peacock race’s Kong Meng, Black Tortoise race’s Wu De, Great Golden-Winged Eagle race’s Jin Yu, and so on. They’re also counted as top-notch even when compared with the previous generation of demon prodigies.”

Shi Ling continued introducing. He had signed the partner contract with the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race, so he also understood the demons very well.

Everyone was astonished. These were all top demon prodigies, so their talents were naturally exceptional.

With so many demon prodigies entering the Demon Compound, its strength would definitely increase!

Shi Kui smiled and said, “However, they’re much weaker as compared to this batch of prodigies in our Human Compound!

“Our batch not only has the top four Divine Firmament prodigies. There are also Brother Qi and Brother Wang!

“Cousin Tianzi and Brother Shen’s enrollment even directly increased the height of the ceiling of talent!

“Just a mere Demon Compound, it’s not to be feared no matter how many new students enter!”

...

In the past, Qi Zhan was much stronger than Fairy Qingyue, so most of the time, the Human Compound would lose during compound-related battles.

However, with the addition of Shi Tianzi and Shen Tian, the Human Compound’s strength had reached an unprecedented height.

In Shi Ling and Shi Kui’s opinion, they felt that their Human Compound could finally rise up!

How could they let demons be so arrogant in Jixia Academy?
