Big Dipper’s bright stars shone above the Big Dipper Sacred Ground.
Big Dipper’s Elders were gathered at the Sacred Leader Mountain’s palace, where the Big Dipper Sacred Leader resided.
“What a shame!”
“You, a Saint, actually drove your chariot straight into another’s array formation. Are you blind?”
“Hundreds of commoners died because of you, and the Divine Firmament Saint caught you red-handed!”
“Some people are spreading rumors, and more than half of Eastern Wilderness is aware of it. You brought shame to our sacred ground!”
“Chen Zhongtian, not only did you not fulfill the requirements of a Saint, but you have also repeatedly put us to shame. You don’t deserve to be the Saint at all!”
“I concur! Chen Zhongtian had lost most of his cultivation and is no longer at Nascent Soul. He is not suitable to be the Saint anymore!”
“Yao Guang, Tian Qu, and Tian Xuan are all talented and hardworking. They are better candidates. Sacred Leader, I propose to replace the Saint!”
“I concur!”
“I concur!”
“I concur!”
“I agree too!”
The Big Dipper Sacred Leader remained calm while listening to the Elders’ discussion.
It had been his idea for Chen Zhongtian to make friends with the Purple Mansion Saint. The Elders making noise right now were the Grand Elder’s followers.
Although Chen Zhongtian had not committed any serious mistake, he had brought shame to Big Dipper as Shen Tian had caught him, and the rumors were spreading like wildfire.
All the sacred grounds would prefer to preserve their honor even if it would cost the life of a strong cultivator of theirs.
Chen Zhongtian had lost most of his cultivation level, and he had put shame on the sacred ground. Thus, it was natural for these Elders to pick on him at this time.
After all, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground was not as cohesive as it looked!
Although the Sacred Leader had the most power, it did not mean he could do anything.
A loud voice suddenly boomed out of nowhere. “The sacred ground is so casual in replacing your Saint?”
The voice outside of the Sacred Leader Mountain sounded very threatening.
The Elders panicked and swiftly exited the palace.
A golden chariot was hovering over the Sacred Leader Mountain, and it was radiating bright golden light. The chariot was rectangular in shape, and there was a mysterious array formation on all four sides. It seemed like a picture of a Golden Crow.
To their surprise, six Black Flood Dragons were pulling this golden chariot. Each of the dragons emitted a strong aura, and their power exceeded that of a human Nascent Soul cultivator!
The two leading Flood Dragons’ second horns were even fully grown. They were no longer just Flood Dragons but true Black Dragons!
Their auras were comparable to peak Nascent Soul cultivators!
Six dragons pulling a chariot?
Whoever was here must be a strong cultivator that they had never encountered before!
Even a Soul Formation Heavenly Venerable could not make such a grand entrance. The dragons were very proud by nature, and they would never pull a chariot unless they were truly tamed.
There was only one person in the entire Eastern Wilderness who could have such power—the Purple Mansion’s Saint, Qi Shaoxuan!
Qi Shaoxuan was wearing a Black Dragon Armor and holding a Heaven’s Halberd. There was a giant avatar on his back. It was the picture of a youth standing on the clouds, with a black dragon flying beneath him, listening to his commands.
It was the one and only Dragon God avatar!
It was said that such an avatar would only appear after the cultivator had mastered the True Dragon Imperial Sutra from Black Dragon Island in the Northern Sea.
This meant that Qi Shaoxuan had already earned the Northern Sea’s Black Dragons’ recognition. He could even form a contract with a pure Black Dragon in the future.
When that happened, not only the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground but even the Black Dragon Island would protect him!
This man was not someone to mess with!
After seeing Qi Shaoxuan had come, all the Elders stopped talking.
Everyone knew who he was—the number one on the Golden Core List, as well the one that could potentially become the new Thearch.
As long as no accident happened to Qi Shaoxuan, he would become, at least, a Sage in the future. If everything went right, he could even become the Thearch!
He had a brighter future than all the Elders combined!
The Elders may be Nascent Soul cultivators, but they would not even manage to beat his dragon mounts!
It would be stupid if they continued to talk bad about Chen Zhongtian, who was Qi Shaoxuan’s follower!
The Sacred Leader smiled and said, “May I know why the Purple Mansion Saint is here?”
“Hello, Big Dipper’s Sacred Leader. I’m only here for two matters today.
“One, I heard that Zhongtian’s Nascent Soul was damaged. I’m here to teach him the Nirvana Imperial Sutra to help him heal.”
Everyone was shocked!
What a generous act!
Supposedly, the Nirvana Imperial Sutra could raise an entire sacred ground to new heights. He was going to teach it to Chen Zhongtian so easily?
They all knew that Qi Shaoxuan was only here to show support for Chen Zhongtian and would not teach him the full sutra. Nevertheless, it was still a fortuitous opportunity for Chen Zhongtian!
If he was lucky, he could become even stronger than before.
The Big Dipper Sacred Ground’s Elders stared at Qi Shaoxuan. They knew what he was trying to do—he was merely showing support for his followers!
Anyway, he only had this follower who had a Saint’s status in the entire Eastern Wilderness.
Qi Shaoxuan had to make sure this follower was well taken care of so that more people would follow him in the future.
The Sacred Leader smiled and said, “Thank you so much for your generosity. I’ll thank you on Zhongtian’s behalf.”
The Grand Elder mocked, “The Purple Mansion Saint is generous indeed! Teaching an imperial sutra to others so easily.”
Qi Shaoxuan looked at the Grand Elder and said, “It’s just an imperial sutra. It’s nothing compared to my friendship with Zhongtian.
“I like making friends very much, and I’ll not be stingy with them.
“Brothers from the Big Dipper Sacred Ground, if you are interested in making friends with me, you can find me at my Purple Mansion Sacred Ground.
“I’ll welcome you with my arms wide open!”
The Grand Elder said in an upset tone, “What about the other matter? The one you talked about earlier.”
The Heaven’s Halberd glowed, and a Golden Core appeared at Qi Shaoxuan’s dantian. The Golden Core was covered in emblems and looked very mysterious.
What was shocking was that there were ten Divine Emblems on it.
Ten, Divine, Emblems! Tenth Refinement Stage!
The fourth refinement was considered Golden Core’s peak, while Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage was the maximum a cultivator could attain!
However, that was only for normal cultivators. For a talented cultivator who aimed to be a Thearch, they would do anything to go beyond their abilities.
There was a saying in the Eastern Wilderness, “Only those who complete the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage can become Thearchs!”
However, no Thearch had appeared in Eastern Wilderness for 10,000 years, and no Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage cultivator for thousands of years.
Thus, no one was sure about the saying’s legitimacy.
However, most talented cultivators would still aim for the Ninth and Tenth Refinement Stage.
For example, Qi Shaoxuan had completed his Ninth Refinement at the age of 18 and topped the Golden Core List. Unexpectedly, he spent another two years being a Golden Core cultivator so that he could exceed his limit and complete the tenth refinement.
Today, he had finally succeeded!
Qi Shaoxuan’s achievement would definitely shock the five regions. In other words, Qi Shaoxuan indeed had the potential to become a Thearch!
The entire Sacred Leader Mountain was silenced.
The Elders were very salty about it. The Purple Mansion Sacred Ground was so lucky to have Qi Shaoxuan!
Since the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had this Son of Providence’s backing, no one in Eastern Wilderness would ever go against them!
Qi Shaoxuan was very pleased with the reaction and smiled. He hopped off his chariot and said, “I have just completed the Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage, and it is not very stable.
“Thus, I have decided to train through actual combat. I’ll fight all the same tier cultivators in Eastern Wilderness and then head to Southern Border, West Desert, Northern Sea, and Middle Ground.
“When I’m invincible, I’ll advance to Nascent Soul.
“I heard Big Dipper’s Tiansha Array Formation is very powerful, and there are seven talented cultivators here.
“Yao Guang, Tian Qu, and Tian Xuan are even among the Golden Core List’s top names.
“I would like to bet with half of the Nirvana Imperial Sutra I have here and take on the seven Junior Brothers at the same time.
“If I lose, I’m willing to share this imperial sutra with Big Dipper!”
Qi Shaoxuan’s words were spread in the Big Dipper swiftly.
Eastern Wilderness, then Southern Border, West Desert, Northern Sea, and Middle Ground…
He would fight all the cultivators and prove that he was invincible before advancing to Nascent Soul?
What an arrogant guy!
However, Qi Shaoxuan sounded very confident. After all, he was truly invincible and only trying to prove this!
A new legend had appeared in Eastern Wilderness, so things were going to change!
At this time, Shen Tian was still lost.
Since he could not depend on his master, he could only rely on himself!
He continued to search for the right way in the wild.
The Lotus Shooting Gun was beginning to heat up from the friction with the air during the flight.
However, he did not meet a single human around the area. There were only demons and monsters.
In the end, Shen Tian gave up.
He took out the Saint Token and said, “Master, I give— I have found my fortuitous opportunity.”
The Sacred Leader’s hologram appeared.
“I’m very pleased, Tian’er.
“Your providence is way higher than I thought.
“You only get lost for a couple of hours, and you’ve found a fortuitous opportunity. Qi Shaoxuan is nobody compared to you!
“Stay where you are. I’m coming to pick you up.”
The hologram faded away.
After a minute or so, a spatial gate appeared in front of Shen Tian.
“Come on, Tian’er, enter.”
Seeing that the other side of the door was the Sacred Leader Palace, Shen Tian was very touched. He decided never to go out alone again!
Shen Tian had a strong desire to be stronger right now.
I need to be strong as quickly as possible so that I can learn this Mighty Prowess of spatial gate from Master!
I’ll never have to worry about getting lost in the wild again.
Shen Tian appeared in the Sacred Leader Palace.
A man’s face was right in front of him—an old Taoist priest!
Azure Lotus stared at Shen Tian and said, “You found a fortuitous opportunity so fast? What is it? Show me, show me! I promise I’ll not snatch it.”
The Sacred Leader said, “Senior Brother, you have to act like a senior.
“Whatever Tian’er received is his to know. It will be useful to him in the future if fewer people know.
“If you had read more about people with great providence, you would know that they have their own secret weapons and power.
“We need to respect that as seniors.
“There will be karma if we know their secrets.”
Azure Lotus, “…”
The Sacred Leader patted on Shen Tian’s shoulder and said, “Tian’er, can you tell me how big is your fortuitous opportunity this time?”
Shen Tian was puzzled by the question.
How big is the fortuitous opportunity?
How am I supposed to answer that?
As big as a cucumber? Or corn? Or eggplant? Or winter melon?
Normal big? Relatively big? Super big? Extra super big?
After pondering for some time, Shen Tian replied, “Erm… It’s about the same as the Nirvana Holy Liquid!”
The Nirvana Holy Liquid increased Shen Tian’s survivability drastically. He did not have to worry about getting hurt at all unless he was killed in an instant. There was nothing he could do then.
The Blood God’s Son gave Shen Tian a clone that helped him escape life-threatening situations.
Thus, Shen Tian believed that these two were about the same.
Azure Lotus was shocked and said to himself, “As big as the Nirvana Holy Liquid… As big as a few hundred liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid!?”
Azure Lotus’s eyes were wide open!
He remembered clearly that Shen Tian had at least 30 bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid, which contained 50L each!
Thus, he had at least a few kiloliters of Nirvana Holy Liquid with him!
Now, he had another fortuitous opportunity that was similar to that?
What the hell?
Only a few days have passed, yet he managed to be so lucky again?
Is he really the Heavenly Dao’s Son like what Junior Brother said? That’s so unfair!
Azure Lotus was regretful now. He had the opportunity to take Shen Tian as his disciple…
The Sacred Leader knew his Senior Brother was jealous. He said calmly, “Tian’er, Peak Leader White Lotus will lead the joint training in the Primordial Battlefield.
“You came back just in time. The team has not left yet. You can join Junior Sister White Lotus now.”
Shen Tian nodded and said, “I’ll go right away!”
Seeing Shen Tian leave the palace, the lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader started to flicker again.
The Sacred Leader bragged, “Senior Brother, I’ve told you!
“Tian’er found the fortuitous opportunity because I told him to follow his instinct.
“As I said, you need to read more so that you can contribute to the sacred ground!
“How are you feeling right now? Do you regret your decision now?”
