I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 74: I Need to Send off Sixth Brother

Chapter 74: I Need to Send off Sixth Brother

The Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art and Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique were two skillsets of the Lightning Imperial Sutra.

If one said that the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique was to nurture and store ten different types of Divine Lightning in the dantian, then the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art would be to use all the different sorts of lightning powers to train up one’s physical body.

With the strongest body, one would be able to tackle thousands of enemies just by themselves!

Meanwhile, it was not required for all those who cultivated the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique to also cultivate the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art, because strictly speaking, both skillsets did not interfere with each other much.

But in any case, normally, those who had cultivated the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art would go on to master the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.

It was rumored that if one could successfully master the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art, there would be a huge quality change to their physical const.i.tution. Not only would this skill strengthen their bodies, but they would even be able to acquire the Jia Wood Lightning Spirit const.i.tution, the Geng Metal Lightning Spirit const.i.tution, and so on.

If one could change their body’s nature to such Lightning Spirit const.i.tutions, then their respective lightning-type skills would be more powerful.

An excellent example would be Zhang Yunxi. She had attained the Geng Metal Lightning Spirit const.i.tution, and hence when she utilized the White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal) skills, it would be more powerful for her than if other people used the same skills.

Essentially, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s true successor would need to master both Qi Refinement and Body Tempering skills. Only by that way would this cultivator become the strongest among their peers, and hence bring back glory for the sacred ground.

After going through the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art’s theory in his mind, Shen Tian slowly digested what he needed to do.

I have already mastered the Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning (Water) skills. Suppose I want to start cultivating the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art. In that case, it’s best to use the IX Divine Lightning to nurture my body and start off by trying to attain the Ren Water Black Tortoise Lightning Spirit const.i.tution...

Wait a minute, why is it something to do with the Black Tortoise again?

Argh! I mean, I am just trying to be cautious! This Lightning Imperial Sutra, it definitely must have something against me!

Although he was feeling rather sorry for himself, Shen Tian decided to go ahead with cultivating this skillset. This was one of the top-notch Body-Temping Arts available, after all.

Shen Tian sat on his pile of Spirit Stones and conjured up the IX Divine Lightning powers to temper his body.

Strips of black lightning covered Shen Tian’s body, and they s.h.i.+mmered under the daylight. After a while, they started merging into Shen Tian’s body and refined his muscles, bones, and nerves.

To be honest, the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art was much more efficient than the Tinder Sutra at tempering bodies.

Shen Tian could already feel how fast his body was being strengthened and vitalized by it.

Meanwhile, the amount of Spirit Stones that this process used was only about 1/10 of what was required by the Tinder Body-Tempering Art!

However, Shen Tian soon discovered something weird happening to his body.

Due to unknown reasons, his kidneys felt heavier.

In the past, when the First Essence Heavy Water was first absorbed into Shen Tian’s kidneys, he had not felt this kind of heaviness. Yet now, Shen Tian felt like there was a heavy load in his kidneys area, and it was very uncomfortable.

At the same time, the obedient Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning, which covered Shen Tian’s body, seemed to be dissociating.

The black IX Divine Lightning was now gradually separating into golden Divine Lightning and silver Heavy Water.

In fact, all the spirit items, which Shen Tian stored within his body, seemed to be in unrest!

Can it be that I still do not have enough providence, and I am suffering a Qi Deviation again?

At that, Shen Tian immediately stopped the cultivation of the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art.

Even so, Shen Tian still felt intense aches all over his body.

The Mixed Divine Lightning and First Essence Heavy Water were now in conflict, and they were trying to burst out of his body.

This made Shen Tian feel as if he might be exploding any time soon!

Shen Tian finally panicked.

Am I really going to die?

At that moment, the Tinder Sutra Shen Tian had cultivated previously was activated.

The Mixed Divine Lightning and First Essence Heavy Water immediately calmed down.

To have a better idea of what this whole situation felt like this: Two students, who were about to fight each other, saw their teacher coming into the cla.s.sroom, and they immediately quieted down.

One returned to his glabella, while the other went back to his kidneys.

Shen Tian was stunned.

My G.o.d, so they got subdued just like that?

But this did not make sense!

How could it be that the almighty body tempering art from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground couldn’t compare to the mere Tinder Sutra?

When he tried to cultivate the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art, both spirit items were like huskies that refused to be trained and were determined to make a huge mess.

Yet when they met the Tinder Sutra, they became docile puppies?

Shen Tian felt amazed by the Tinder Sutra.

Well, this body tempering art is definitely not as simple as I thought!

Shen Tian contemplated trying out the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art again, but reason got the better of him.

After all, it was not guaranteed that both Spirit Items could be calmed down again, like what happened previously.

What if the Tinder Sutra was unable to subdue the Mixed Divine Lightning and First Essence Heavy Water this time round? Then wouldn’t he be showing Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao a glamorous scene of shelf-explosion?

Forget it, I still want to enjoy life! And I definitely don’t want to go down and meet Her Majesty Concubine Lan so soon!

At that moment, Shen Tian suddenly got an idea.

Well, to cultivate the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art, I need different kinds of lightning. How about I try to make use of this concept to cultivate the Tinder Sutra too? Maybe I can use it to absorb the First Essence Heavy Water and transform it into lightning powers, then perhaps the cultivating process will be more efficient?

Shen Tian had noticed how the Mixed Divine Lightning had an affinity with the Tinder Sutra previously, so this plan might really work.

Shen Tian started acting upon his ideas straightaway.

He activated the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique to conjure up some IX Divine Lightning. Following which, he started circulating the Tinder Sutra to absorb the divine lightning and used it to nurture his body again.

Shen Tian’s guess was true—after absorbing that IX Divine Lightning, the rate at which the Tinder Sutra nurtured his body became faster.

Upon the stimulation of the Divine Lightning, Shen Tian could feel that there were remarkable improvements to his physical const.i.tution.

There was a subtle similarity between what he felt now and the feeling he got when he used the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art to nurture his body previously.

However, this method used up so much more Spirit Stones.

So, it seems like I need to splurge on Spirit Stones, no matter what.

Shen Tian’s mouth twitched as he came to that conclusion.

Seems like the only way to become stronger in either the cultivation world or the normal world is to spend money!

Shen Tian sighed and finally stopped his cultivation for the day.

Time pa.s.sed fast during cultivation, and the sky had already darkened.

After deciding that it was best not to stretch himself too much, Shen Tian stood up and made Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao accompany him for a walk.

The trio started strolling leisurely outside of Lan’s Palace.

What made Shen Tian extremely relieved was that he now didn’t need to worry about hardcore fans stalking him.

However, all the eunuchs and palace maids still tried to avoid him as soon as they saw him coming along their ways.

To be honest, Shen Tian really missed this feeling of being ostracized!

Shen Tian began his stroll around the palace with the Hariti Rosary Beads in his hands.

Yet when he mindlessly walked to the Imperial Household Department, his attention was caught by a notice on the noticeboard before its doors.

This notice had been posted since three days ago, and its main purpose was to announce that there would be a grand banquet held in the palace after five days.

This banquet was thrown by His Majesty, the King of Fire, to send off the Sixth Prince—because, after the banquet, Shen Ao would leave for the Grand White Grotto-Heaven to seek apprentices.h.i.+p for cultivation.

For a respected sect like the Grand White Grotto-Heaven, it was only right that disciples should be the ones to seek them out proactively, after all.

Unless a person was a genius, no immortal sects would come and find you!

While looking at the noticeboard, Shen Tian mused, “Sixth Brother is leaving?”

Whenever he thought of his sixth brother, Shen Tian would feel a tinge of guilt.

Well, in any case, since the grand banquet would be held for his sixth brother two days later, Shen Tian felt he had to send him off formally.

Maybe it would be good to give him a present and offer his sincere apologies to him again. Well, it was very likely that Shen Ao probably wouldn’t remember anything after taking the Forgetting Pill.

Still, because Shen Tian knew that he had made use of Shen Ao before, he felt he must do something to ease his guilt.

No matter what, Shen Ao was still his blood kin!

As such, Shen Tian made up his mind. There was a gleam of determination in his eyes as he walked into the Imperial Household Department.
