Shen Tian helplessly wiped his sweat as he felt the enthusiasm of the many disciples below the Saint Mountain before taking a look at Fang Chang, who was filled with resentment.

I just wanted to keep a low profile and stay on the mountain quietly, cultivating to the Mahayana stage before going out.

So why do people keep coming to look for trouble? The halo on my head has already turned green!

Also, Master Sacred Leader, could you be less exaggerating when boasting about your disciple?

I am a young paragon that has formed an unparalleled Dharmic foundation and will lead the sacred ground to prosperity!?

Why don’t you hope for me to become the paragon and upgrade the sacred ground to Heavenly Courts!?

What should I do now?

Shen Tian’s eyes wandered along the people, thinking of ways to reduce his presence.

The Sacred Leader had bragged that his talent was matchless, so what if someone came to challenge him?

By then, when he, the “Rare Unparalleled Saint”, made a move, wouldn’t he be easily beaten up by other geniuses?

That’s right!

I could increase the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s true disciples’ strength first. Then if I encounter dangers or challenges in the future, I just need to send them to face it!

What? You want to challenge me?

First, battle with Fang Chang, who I defeated. If you can’t even defeat Fang Chang, then you won’t have the qualifications to challenge me!

Shen Tian felt that he definitely had to increase Fang Chang’s and the others’ strength, since what if the challenger really defeated Fang Chang and then wanted to challenge the Saint?

Thinking till here, Shen Tian gradually walked out of the Saint Mountain and bowed to the Sacred Leader. “Master.”

The Sacred Leader nodded. “Tian’er, you’ve contributed greatly to our sect by improving the Lightning Explosion Talisman. Do you have anything you wish to say?”

Shen Tian replied calmly, “Master, I do indeed have a request, and I hope Master could agree.”

The Sacred Leader’s voice could be heard from within the lightning and heavenly aura. “Speak without worries. I agree to your request.”

Before even hearing what Shen Tian’s request was, the Sacred Leader had directly expressed his approval.

Fang Chang had a mental breakdown upon seeing such a favoritism att.i.tude.

Just why? I have been so hardworking in cultivating, but Master is never satisfied with me.

Meanwhile, this new Saint has just entered the sacred ground, and yet Master adores him so much.

Is it really because this guy is dignified, good-looking, and has a graceful bearing and unmatched handsomeness?

This is unfair!

At that moment, Fang Chang was envious. He looked at Shen Tian with a cold smile in antic.i.p.ation of seeing what request this new Saint had.

Under the stares of everyone, Shen Tian finally spoke. “Master, what do you think is the most important for our sect to expand and grow stronger?”

The Sacred Leader replied calmly, “Cultivating requires just these things—cultivation technique, Dao companion, money, and land. Among them, the cultivation level is the most important.”

Shen Tian nodded. “The reason for our sect’s continuous decline is because of losing the forbidden art.

“After losing the final chapter of the Lightning Imperial Sutra, the geniuses of our sect were all unable to reach the highest realm of the lightning arts.

“Thus, those geniuses who could originally break through to the Golden Core Nine Refinement Stage could only suffer from injustice and stay at the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage.

“The Heavenly Venerables, who originally had hope of successfully enduring the Heavenly Tribulation to enter the Saint realm and shock the world, could only fall one step short and die under the Heavenly Tribulation.

“Now that the Lightning Imperial Sutra’s forbidden chapter has been recovered, I dare beg Master to completely unleash the usefulness of this cultivation technique!”

Before Shen Tian could finish, the heavenly aura covering the Sacred Leader had obviously started fluctuating. “Do you know what you are saying? Only the Saint and Saintess have the qualifications to cultivate the Lightning Imperial Sutra’s forbidden chapter, Decalamity.

“This is the rule our ancestors set. So what you mean is that you want me to go against the ancestors’ rules and spread the forbidden art?”

Shen Tian braced himself to continue, “It’s not anyhow spreading it, but choosing those talented and powerful ones.

“Master, within our sect’s 36 Spirit Mountains, there is no lack of elders that rely on the Spirit Mountains to extend their lives. The Spirit Mountains’ Qi can barely slow down the elders’ aging, so it’s only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

“These elders have contributed their whole life for the sacred ground, and they are all the most loyal elders within the sect. Thus, if we could let them cultivate the Lightning Imperial Sutra‘s forbidden chapter, then they would most likely be able to break through.

“Then, their lifespan would increase greatly, being able to protect our sect for thousands of years. Our sect’s strength will increase rapidly.

“Also, there are geniuses, such as Senior Brother Fang and Senior Brother Yunting, who were unable to become the Saint due to various reasons.

“Had they not been born in the same period as me, then with their talents, they would definitely have the qualifications to become our sect’s Saint.

“If they were unable to cultivate our sect’s supreme cultivation art just because of some rule that was set who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago, then that’s undoubtedly stopping them from reaching their greatest potential.

“A little leak will sink a great s.h.i.+p. Maybe in their road toward becoming the Immortal Emperor, they might just lack this one bit!

“Thus, I think that our ancestors’ rules might not necessarily be suitable for the sacred ground’s current situation.

“I dare to ask Master, please make the exception and allow others to cultivate it. If it’s punishment for disobeying the ancestors’ rules, then I am willing to step down from the Saint position!”

After hearing what Shen Tian had said, the Sacred Leader replied, “Tian’er, do you know that this request has no benefits for you at all?”

The sacred ground did not allow people other than the Saint to cultivate the supreme forbidden art to keep others in check. If the cultivation art that the Saint cultivated completely dominated others of the same age, then he could keep being the most outstanding one. Thus, the other disciples in the sacred ground would be willing to obey him wholeheartedly.

In case the cultivation technique everyone had was the same, then if other disciples obtained some other fortuitous opportunities, they might overtake the Saint.

By then, within 100 years, the Saint’s authority and right to speak might be significantly threatened due to that.

Although Shen Tian’s suggestion could indeed allow the sacred ground’s strength to increase greatly in a short period of time, there were only disadvantages for him.

At that moment, everyone’s attention was gathered on Shen Tian—their eyes were full of astonishment and incomprehension.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian thought for a moment but still slowly opened his mouth. “I would rather be the tail of a lion than to be the head of a dog.

“If possible, I hope for everyone in the sacred ground to be lions and succeed in their cultivation path.

“If Senior Brother Fang is able to improve his cultivation level after cultivating the forbidden arts and become invincible as compared to those of the same level, I’m willing to give the Saint position to him. No regrets!”

...

Shen Tian stood proudly on the Saint Mountain; each word of his was sonorous and powerful.

At that moment, Qin Yundi was stunned, Zhang Yunting was dumbstruck, and Fang Chang all the more dumbfounded.

All the disciples standing below the Saint Mountain were astounded. They looked at Shen Tian with s.h.i.+ning eyes.

It was as if Shen Tian was glowing with light, a light which made them feel ashamed of themselves.

Qin Yundi’s face was filled with admiration, Zhang Yunting regarded Shen Tian with high praise, while Fang Chang was completely stupefied.

Frankly speaking, Fang Chang had unmatched talent since he had entered the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. Thus, there were few people he would admire.

Master Sacred Leader was one, Martial Uncle Azure Lotus was one, and other than them, there were no others.

However, today, that figure on the Saint Mountain had been etched deeply within his mind.

In Fang Chang’s mind, his thoughts were stormy, like a surge of waves in the sea.

He actually suggested to Master to allow me to learn the forbidden art of the Lightning Imperial Sutra! Isn’t he worried that I might threaten his position after breaking through my cultivation level?

And if I become stronger than him after cultivating it, he will give me the Saint position? Such arrogant self-confidence!

Finally, he said he would rather be the tail of a lion than to be the head of a dog, and he likes the sacred ground to be filled with lions?

Very good! Such an amazing aspiration of wanting everyone to be like lions! He has such a broad mindset, a broad mindset!

Shen Tian, no wonder you’re the love rival I’ve acknowledged!

From now on, I’m willing to compete fairly with you for Junior Sister!
