Shen Tian activated the Saint Token with a hand seal.
A figure engulfed in lightning and heavenly aura appeared.
The lightning and heavenly aura rippled as the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s voice echoed. “Tian’er, how was your trial? Did you get injured?”
Shen Tian smiled. “Thank you, Master, for your concern. It has gone very smoothly.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded. “That’s good. Yunxi, the rest, and I will be arriving at North Sea shortly. Till then, do take care of yourself.”
Master and the rest are coming to North Sea?
Shen Tian was taken aback. “Master, you don’t need to come and fetch me.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was also taken aback. His lightning and heavenly aura froze for a second before starting to ripple again.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said, “I heard that you reaped quite a bountiful harvest at the Chaotic Star Island domain. North Sea is still the demon race’s territory, after all.
“Although the Dragon race reigns over North Sea, I am still quite worried. It is better that I come to fetch you personally!”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s voice was emotionless, but Shen Tian felt very warm on the inside.
The great Sacred Leader of a sacred ground is especially coming to North Sea to fetch me back. He holds me in such high regard!
And he is bringing Senior Sister Yunxi and the rest with him. Haha, how can I trouble everyone like that?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is indeed one big harmonious family, with its members respectful to each other.
…
Shen Tian smiled. “Thank you, Master.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded. “Also, did you comprehend the Kun Peng Dao in the Chaotic Star Island domain?”
Wow, how did Master know that I comprehended the Kun Peng Dao?
Shen Tian nodded honestly. “Yes.”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said calmly, “It is like this. The king of the Great Void Kun race contacted me today.
“He told me that his only son, Kun Ming, found the Kun Peng Jade Cliff in the Chaotic Star Island domain and had hoped to comprehend the Kun Peng Dao from it.
“Not only did he fail, but he even tried to forcibly transform into a Peng and ended up deviating down the wrong path. He is in serious condition now.
“After knowing that you have comprehended the complete Kun Peng Dao, he hopes that you can help them.”
Kun Ming deviated down the wrong path because he failed at comprehending the Kun Peng Dao?
The corners of Shen Tian’s mouth twitched.
Well!
Actually, Shen Tian had predicted this. After all, Fang Chang and Qi Shaoxuan had also experienced such fates.
Why did he have to do that?
I was prepared to be your companion for the trial, but you refused. You even insulted me.
Alright, now things have turned out like this. No one wished for such an ending!
Shen Tian smiled. “What does Master think about this?”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said, “The Great Void Kun race is the second biggest power in North Sea. Also, we have no beef with them.
“The current leader, Kun Xu, is a good friend of mine and has maintained mutually beneficial relations with us for many areas.
“So unless absolutely necessary, I don’t wish to fall out with the Great Void Kun race over the Kun Peng Dao.
“The Kun race has unfathomable power and deep pockets. If we force them into a corner, they might harm you.”
Shen Tian understood now. “So Master wants me to return the Kun Peng Dao to the Great Void Kun race?”
Although he did feel a tinge of reluctance, Shen Tian actually did not mind. After all, the Kun Peng Dao was actually Kun Ming’s fortuitous opportunity. He would just be returning it to its rightful owner.
If not for the fact that this Kun Ming fellow had kept provoking him, Shen Tian had been planning to invite him along to seek out the Kun Peng Jade Cliff and comprehend the Kun Peng Dao.
Now that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was personally asking this of him, Shen Tian was willing to acquiesce.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader shook his head. “Why should we return it?”
Shen Tian, “???”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s aura rippled. “Although I don’t want to fall out with the Great Void Kun race over the Kun Peng Dao, I am not afraid of them.
“Since you were the one who found the Kun Peng Dao, it is your rightful fortuitous opportunity. It belongs to you.
“The Great Void Kun race wants it? Sure, but not for free. They have to give you something good in return.”
Shen Tian, “???”
So, Master, you want to use this Kun Peng Dao to fleece others?
…
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader continued calmly. “I have already negotiated with Kun Xu. The Kun race is willing to give you three Sage-level artifacts and one extraordinary item in exchange for the complete Kun Peng Dao.
“At the same time, we are also keeping the rights of you and the other Divine Firmament disciples to use this legacy. Tian’er, what do you think?
“If you are not satisfied with these conditions, I can go negotiate again with Kun Xu and ask for a few more Sage-level artifacts.
“Anyway, even if the Kun race makes a fuss, we are not afraid of them.”
At that, the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader aura magnified, and his lightning and heavenly aura vibrated intensely.
Even Shen Tian, who could now defeat most Heavenly Venerables, felt a great suppression from that.
The surging pressure was similar to the Heavenly Tribulation he had faced at Spirit Fog Mountain Valley.
It was clear that the Sacred Leader’s cultivation level was far beyond that of a newly-ascended Sage.
Upon realizing how serious the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader was, Shen Tian smiled. “I have no beef with the Kun race. It was just a small misunderstanding.
“The Kun race is willing to give me three Sage-level artifacts and one extraordinary item in exchange for the Kun Peng Dao. To me, those are already bonuses.
“Ahem, but may I ask what extraordinary item will they be giving me?”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s aura rippled again. “The Triple Light Divine Water, ranked sixth on the Absolute Water List. It is also called the Immortal Divine Spring.
“I specially requested this for you. Its value to you is worth more than 10 Sage-level items.
“Even for the wealthy Kun race, this is considered an extremely precious treasure.
“Kun Xu’s heart was bleeding when I asked for it.”
…
Triple Light Divine Water, Immortal Divine Spring?
Shen Tian shuddered as intense joy rose in his heart.
This type of Absolute Water was famous across the five regions. It was a miraculous divine healing item.
It was said that even when one was grievously injured and at the brink of death, just half a cup of the Triple Light Divine Water would be enough to completely heal them.
Its healing abilities were even more powerful than normal Nirvana Holy Liquid.
If completely refined into the body, it could even make one immortal.
Just smear some Triple Light Divine Water onto any injuries sustained during battle, and it would heal up within minutes. One could then turn around and continue fighting.
With abilities like this, it was also called portable deity’s milk!
Although Shen Tian already had the Nirvana Holy Liquid, which also comprised powerful healing abilities, who would object to having more treasures?
It’s like you already had one supermodel under your arm, you wouldn’t mind having another under the other arm, right?
Moreover, although Shen Tian still had quite a bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid on hand, there would come a time when he would have none left.
After obtaining this Triple Light Divine Water and refining it into his body, he could continuously nourish himself and attain an immortal body.
This would greatly boost Shen Tian’s life endurance.
Why would the Kun race be willing to part with such a precious extraordinary item?
The reason was simple. This healing treasure was very precious, but many other items had similar effects.
If desperate, one could just retreat and gulp down copious amounts of drugs to heal their injuries!
However, the Kun Peng Dao was one of a kind to the Kun race. The entire Great Void Kun race’s power would increase several-fold if they could obtain the Kun Peng Dao.
As much as Kun Xu could not bear to part with the Triple Light Divine Water, it was still not as important as the Kun Peng Dao.
…
“If you are fine with the conditions, please head down to the City of Bliss!
“The Kun race people are already there waiting. From there, they will bring you to the Abyss of Despair as their guest.
“Logically, the Great Void Kun race has made such a big public deal over this that they couldn’t possibly harm you without provoking the Dragon race and our sacred ground.
“But if you feel unsafe, you can wait a few more days. By then, I will have arrived at North Sea and can accompany you there.”
Shen Tian smiled at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s deep concern. “No need, I can take good care of myself.”
Trump card, right?
I have a few in my own pocket!
A profound set of eyes peered out of the lightning and heavenly aura and landed on Shen Tian.
After a long time, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said placidly, “Tian’er, you have always been a very reliable and steady person. I am very confident about how you do things.
“In that case, you head over first! We will meet you there after we arrive at North Sea.
“Remember to place your own safety over all!”
At that, the Saint Token’s glow gradually faded away.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s image also slowly dissipated.
Ye Qingcang’s figure reappeared in purple light.
He chuckled. “This fellow is so vicious. He made them give up their Triple Light Divine Water in exchange for the Kun Peng Dao, as well as three Sage-level artifacts. This is as good as clearing out the Kun race’s treasure vault.”
Shen Tian also felt somewhat abashed. “Old Man Ye, with the high price that Master demanded, do you think I am just walking into an ambush?”
Ye Qingcang sneered. “No way! Zhang Longyuan is a very conscientious guy and treats you like his precious baby. Would he let you go visit the Kun race if he was not confident? Don’t worry!
“Moreover, you speak as if you are really going over to visit the Kun race in person.”
Shen Tian, “???”
…
As many doubts as there were, he had no choice but to go visit the Kun race. After all, Shen Tian was partly responsible for Kun Ming deviating down the wrong path.
Even though Kun Ming was the one who was jealous of Shen Tian and provoked him first, as the magnanimous human Saint, Shen Tian felt that he should maintain a benevolent and open heart to the demon race.
Yeap, it was definitely not because of the Triple Light Divine Water or the three Sage-level artifacts. It was out of pure altruism!
Shen Tian took a deep breath and reached out his right hand.
A drop of reddish-golden blood dripped from Shen Tian’s finger to form a large palm-sized puddle of blood. It then quickly evolved.
After a short period, a handsome man dressed in a white robe appeared. Apart from the fact that his aura was slightly weaker than Shen Tian’s, they were completely identical.
“Your Blood Cloning technique has improved. You are looking increasingly handsome.”
After sizing up his blood clone, Shen Tian gave a faint nod.
“Kun Ming seems to hate handsome guys. I wonder if he will behave himself when I visit the Kun race.”
…
A youth dressed in a robe emerged from the massive desolate island. He gazed afar across the ocean as golden wings spread out from his back.
Huff!
The divine wings flapped, and he morphed into a streak of golden light, shooting straight toward the City of Bliss.
News headline for that day: “Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, accepts Kun Xu’s invitation to be his guest at the Abyss of Despair.”
The entire North Sea was in an uproar over the news!
