I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 291: The Most Tragic Purple Mansion Saints

Chapter 291: The Most Tragic Purple Mansion Saints

Shen Tian was stunned upon seeing Qi Shaoxuan, who was kneeling in despair, and Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan, who held where his arm was sliced off.

When did they come? Why are they looking at me with resentment? It’s quite creepy.

Also, if your hand is severed, then go and heal it. Why are you looking at me?’

Is it a broken bottle scam? Do you think I won’t kill you?

Huh? Why am I holding a sword, and there’s even fresh blood on the blade?

Shen Tian’s mouth twitched, and he probed guiltily, “Senior, is it me that sliced off your hand?”

Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan was temporarily stunned. Then, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly shook his head. “No, I accidentally chopped it off when I was practicing swordsmans.h.i.+p. It had nothing to do with Saint Tian.”

Accidentally chopped himself when practicing swordsmans.h.i.+p?

Shen Tian was enraged. “If you accidentally chopped off your hand, then why did you smear the blood on my sword? Are you trying to blackmail and extort me?”

Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan was astounded. If he was not the one who had experienced it himself, he would doubt himself whether he was really mistaken.

What do you mean why did I smear the blood onto your sword after I chopped off my arm? Can you be even more shameless!?

However, what else did he dare to say?

That b.l.o.o.d.y sword was still pointing toward him.

Not to mention this time, Qi Shaoxuan was in the wrong for secretly sneaking into the Saint Mountain.

In the cultivation world, it was an absolute taboo to peek at others practicing swordsmans.h.i.+p. Thus, he deserved to have his arm chopped off.

If one was stronger than the person being peeked at, then one could argue their way out with any excuse as the person being peeked at could not defeat one!

Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan was on the brink of tears. He took out a silk Spirit artifact and pa.s.sed it to Shen Tian.

“I’m extremely sorry for accidentally dirtying the Saint’s sword.

“This is the Heavenly Silkworm Handkerchief that was made from the silk of the Snow Mountain Dream Spirit Ice Silkworm. Please, accept this gift to wipe your sword.”

Oh my, he’s this generous?

“Thank you, Senior. You’re just too generous.”

Shen Tian happily took the handkerchief and put it into his pocket.

Then he circulated his Dharmic powers, and instantly all the blood on the Executing Heaven Sword flew off the sword.

The Executing Heaven Sword, which was originally dyed in blood, instantly turned clean. Erm... the handkerchief was not used at all.

“Uncle-Master, your arm has just been cut off, so it could still be reattached.”

Qi Shaoxuan was naturally extremely moved after seeing Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan block the sword for him.

He took the remaining Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his storage ring and started smearing it on his injury.

Meanwhile, the sword aura and sword intent attached to Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan’s injury was simply too strange. It was firmly attached.

Even Qi Shaoxuan’s Nirvana Holy Liquid that could heal a serious Dao injury of one’s Golden Core breaking was ineffective when healing the Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan’s severed arm.

...

“How about you let me have a try?”

Just at that moment, a gentle voice sounded.

That’s right, it was Shen Tian.

Shen Tian had just awakened from his epiphany. He was in a daze as if he had just woken up from a long dream, so he did not look carefully.

Just now, he tried sensing, and his Executing Heaven Sword’s sword aura was on Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan’s injury!

Besides the Executing Heaven Sword’s sword aura, there was also an especially obscure and mysterious sword intent. It was vaguely resonating with the new heritage in Shen Tian’s head.

The sword aura and sword intent are both mine, so how is it possible that it was not me who had cut off his arm?

Shen Tian’s mouth twitched.

So this old thing is...

He felt that having his arm sliced off by me is too humiliating, so he does not want to admit it?

Tsk, tsk. The so-called mighty cultivators in the cultivation world are all overly concerned over their reputation. Thus, they would rather suffer and keep up appearances.

Shen Tian had seen too many of such people.

You even specially gifted a superior-grade Spirit artifact like the Heavenly Silkworm Handkerchief to me... Is it hush money? Really, just what kind of person do you think I am?

However, although he was dissatisfied, it was him that had cut off Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan’s arm.

Although one would deserve even death for anyhow barging into others’ sect and disturbing others cultivating in the cultivation world, Shen Tian was in the end a compa.s.sionate kind person.

Actually, it’s mainly because Shen Tian had accepted his gift, so he had to help. Otherwise, he would be undeserving of the merit halo behind him.

He slowly walked beside Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan and put his hand over where the injury was.

It was indeed his sword aura and sword intent!

Shen Tian silently circulated his sword art and forced out the sword aura and sword intent in Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan’s arm.

At the same time, he smiled and said, “Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan, there’s no need to worry. Since the sword aura and sword intent were forced out, you will be able to completely recover if Nirvana Holy Liquid is applied.

“Also, Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan, please don’t worry, I will not tell anyone else everything that occurred on Saint Mountain today.”

Upon seeing Shen Tian, who was smiling warmly but his eyes were cold, Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan could not help but feel a s.h.i.+ver run down his spine.

The Divine Firmament Saint, is he... warning me not to spread what happened today?

That’s right! He’s able to slice off a Soul Formation Heavenly Venerable’s arm with one slash, although he’s just a Golden Core cultivator. He’s even able to kill a Soul Formation cultivator in one strike.

Compared to all the five regions’ prodigies in the past 10,000 years, his fearsome talent is definitely astonis.h.i.+ng and even one of a kind.

Once the Evil Spirit Sect or those enemies of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground find out about Shen Tian’s true strength, they will most likely send Sage cultivators to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.

By then, Shen Tian would be in great danger.

Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan took a deep breath. He was absolutely a loyal confidant of the Purple Mansion’s Sacred Leader.

If not, he would not be responsible for protecting the Purple Mansion Saint.

Originally, Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan felt that Qi Shaoxuan would bring glory to their Purple Mansion or even be able to rule over Eastern Wilderness.

However, after experiencing Shen Tian’s talent, Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan realized something reluctantly. As long as Shen Tian was alive, Qi Shaoxuan would never be able to defeat him.

Thus, Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan decided that after returning to the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground, he would immediately suggest to the Sacred Leader:

While Shen Tian was not strong enough now, immediately...

Admit defeat!

That’s right! Immediately admit defeat!

Secretly a.s.sa.s.sinate Shen Tian? Impossible.

No one was clearer than the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground, just how powerful someone blessed by providence was.

The Purple Mansion Saint had stayed alive no matter how much trouble he looked for and was even able to encounter fortuitous opportunities.

Currently, the Divine Firmament Saint’s talent was above Qi Shaoxuan’s. Also, according to rumors, his providence was even more exaggerated and fearsome than Qi Shaoxuan’s.

Wanting to a.s.sa.s.sinate such an existence when he was still young? Haha, anyone who had such a thought was out of their mind!

Not to mention that it basically had no chance to succeed as one would instead become the stepping stone. So what if the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground could kill Shen Tian? Could they guarantee that they could do it flawlessly?

Once such a thing was revealed, even an idiot could imagine just how far the crazed Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would go to take revenge. After all, Shen Tian was their hope of leading the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to prosperity.

Anyway, according to how Qi Shaoxuan was favored by the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground currently, if other sacred grounds killed Qi Shaoxuan, their Sacred Leader would definitely dare to lead the sacred ground and fight to the death.

If two sacred grounds really fought to the death, then the two sacred grounds would definitely suffer heavy losses, which would only benefit other sacred grounds.

No one would want to see such an outcome.

...

Since they couldn’t kill nor win against Shen Tian, they could only admit defeat.

Anyway, to major sects, things such as face were sometimes extremely important while other times it might be worthless.

Since the Purple Mansion Saint can not win against the Divine Firmament Saint in the next 100 years, then we will keep a low profile, secretly develop, and await a new opportunity.

If your Saint is daring and enjoys taking risks, then we will leave him be.

If his luck is bad like Chu Longhe’s, who lost his cultivation from being beaten up by numerous cultivators, then we will gloat at your misfortune.

If his luck is good and he walks an invincible path like Huang s.h.i.+, ruling over the whole cultivation world and making them subdue, then we will have no qualms over accepting the fact of submitting to you.

We might even have a higher position when everyone queues to become their lackey since we admitted defeat early.

To sacred grounds, there was no such thing as always being prosperous. The survival of the sect was the most important.

Thus, admitting defeat when encountering a true paragon was simple!

In the end, the Purple Mansion Saint and Divine Firmament Saint were just competing. It was still not to the point of a life-and-death situation.

There was no saying when the Evil Spirit Sect or the Evil Spirits from outside would make a comeback. They were the five regions’ true enemies.

Actually, the major sects would protect prodigies, such as Shen Tian, Qi Shaoxuan, and Fang Chang, since the impact of that catastrophe 10,000 years ago had yet to completely subside.

...

At that thought, Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan took a deep breath.

“Please, don’t worry, Saint. No one else will know what has happened today.

“Also, the Saint is peerless, unrestrained, dignified, valiant, elegant, and has a unique understanding of Sword Dao...

“It’s really Eastern Wilderness’ fortune to have such a person like the Divine Firmament Saint appear here. If you don’t mind, please come and visit the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground frequently.

“Frankly speaking, I have a beloved daughter that is 18 years old this year. She’s extremely beautiful and has always admired you.

“If you don’t mind, I’ll let her enter the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground in the future. She will be willing to serve you.”

Shen Tian was astonished upon seeing how Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan could speak so calmly and even introduce his daughter to him even though his arm had been chopped off.

Such composure!

Senior, do you not feel any pain? Your arm was chopped off!

Shen Tian silently forced out the last bit of sword aura in Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan’s arm.

After applying a layer of Nirvana Holy Liquid and using restorative spells, Heavenly Venerable Zi Xuan’s arm was successfully attached.

Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian with complicated feelings. Frankly speaking, his self-confidence had been severely damaged today.

Originally, when he had just arrived at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, he had planned to defeat Shen Tian and the other three by himself, one against four.

After he was suppressed by the other three, Qi Shaoxuan had wanted to at least beat Shen Tian in a one-vs-one battle if he could not beat four people.

Then, he was completely stunned as he had been defeated again and again by Shen Tian’s projection after entering the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da. The only thought he had was to win once against Shen Tian.

Afterward, he was even doubting himself after he had been defeated by the Sky-Smas.h.i.+ng Palm of Shen Tian’s projection.

He firmly believed that it was impossible for Shen Tian to be that powerful. There was no way that such a talented prodigy would appear in Eastern Wilderness.

Thus, he had come to Saint Mountain to prove that everything was rigged and Shen Tian was not as strong as everyone imagined.

However, he was wrong.

Shen Tian’s strength was something that could not even be imagined!

As compared to Shen Tian, his t.i.tle of “strongest prodigy in Eastern Wilderness’ was simply a joke.

...

Not long ago, Qi Shaoxuan had heard others say that his master was “The most tragic Purple Mansion Saint that had been oppressed by the Divine Firmament Saint”.

In the beginning, when he had heard such a thing, Qi Shaoxuan could not help but secretly laugh about his master’s embarra.s.sing past.

Afterward, he had also secretly sworn that he would give the Divine Firmament Saint a good beating so that his master could hold his head high.

However, now when he thought of that t.i.tle, Qi Shaoxuan was only filled with deep bitterness.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would most likely be oppressed by Shen Tian even more tragically in the future.

Master’s grievance, I... finally understand now!
