I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 453: Junior Brother Shen Tian, How Are You So Fast!

Chapter 453: Junior Brother Shen Tian, How Are You So Fast!

These people were just too polite. No matter how Shen Tian tried to persuade them, they insisted on giving their Sage artifacts in exchange.
Shen Tian had no choice but to let them do so.
As there was a limited amount of Enlightenment tea, an increasing number of people wanted to exchange for it.
The price of the tea surged such that several Sage artifacts were needed just to exchange for one cup of Enlightenment tea.
Those at the front of the queue were thrilled. They felt that they had gotten a low price for the Enlightenment tea!
In contrast, those at the back were envious!
Who could reject this grade of Enlightenment tea?
Who didn’t want to magnify their harvest from the Supreme Sky Tree World?
It was not too big of a deal for these people to hand over a few Sage artifacts!
Many people at present were the sacred leaders and grand elders of the various sacred grounds. Of course they had plenty of resources.
Apart from some of the more timid young prodigies, powerful practitioners from all corners scrambled desperately to exchange for the Enlightenment tea.
The number of Sage artifacts piled in front of Shen Tian increased until it was the size of a small hill!
Shen Tian looked exasperated. He had no choice but to accept it.
...
Having delegated the task of handing out the Enlightenment tea to Eunuch Gui, Shen Tian walked to the side with a cup of Enlightenment tea in hand.
He did not forget that he had to butter up to the Daughter of Providence!
A slender figure stood there quietly as if she was a pure lotus flower. Untainted by all.
It was Fairy Qingyue.
She had always preferred to be alone and did not like crowded scenes.
Shen Tian walked to her side with a cup of Enlightenment tea. “Senior Sister Qingyue, this Enlightenment tea is for you!”
Fairy Qingyue was taken aback and blushed. “No, it’s yours.”
The price of the Enlightenment tea was obvious for all to see.
Even sacred leaders were desperate for a share. And one had to exchange Sage artifacts for it.
As there was a limited quantity of Enlightenment tea, many people failed to get a portion and were feeling very depressed.
And now, Shen Tian was giving Fairy Qingyue a cup of his own volition. Her heart lifted.
Why is Junior Brother Shen Tian giving me a cup of tea? Could it be that he likes me!?
Shen Tian smiled. “Senior Sister Qingyue, don’t stand on ceremony. Please accept my goodwill!”
Shen Tian gazed at Fairy Qingyue, his smile growing wider.
Or, more accurately, he was looking at the providence halo above Fairy Qingyue’s head.
There was a fortuitous opportunity image there.
...
Fairy Qingyue’s blush deepened upon seeing that Shen Tian was staring at herself.
She lifted her head in a bashful manner and just happened to meet Shen Tian’s eyes.
Those handsome features. Those profound eyes. That extraordinarily noble demeanor!
Shen Tian was like an immortal from the heavens—totally out-of-this-world.
For a moment there, Fairy Qingyue fell into a daze.
She didn’t know why Shen Tian was staring at her head, but he was really very handsome!
“Senior Sister, please accept it!”
Shen Tian placed the cup of tea into Fairy Qingyue’s hands with a smile.
Fairy Qingyue snapped out of her trance. Still blushing, she said in a soft voice, “Thank you, Junior Brother.”
It was too difficult to reject Shen Tian now.
For some reason, an unprecedented feeling swelled up in her heart.
...
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew by.
The Supreme Sky Tree swayed, and its leaves tinkled like silver bells.
It was an exceptionally gentle sound as if the breeze was stroking one’s heart, making them feel clear and soothed.
Thereafter, the sound suddenly changed to become mighty and surging, as if a massive army was charging forth.
Tens of thousands of natural arrays appeared across the skies!
Countless dazzling divine light arrays swirled magnificently across the sky, enshrouding the Supreme Sky Tree.
The humming sound of the Heavenly Dao caused the arrays to vibrate, making the entire region look like a sea created by magical waves.
Streaks of smoke-like arrays descended from the sky like a heavenly river flowing down, completely engulfing the Supreme Sky Tree.
The Heavenly Dao became increasingly intense as countless arrays accumulated to form a void image!
Everyone was thrilled at the sight.
The Supreme Sky Tree World had opened!
...
The expansive center of the Supreme Sky Tree had become twisted.
A hazy portal emerged, surrounded by divine rainbow light and misty fog. It looked very mystical.
Powerful Dao Intent churned like tremendous waves, surging out of the portal as if it wanted to cleanse the world.
In the blink of an eye, the region was transformed into a land of enlightenment, attracting natural arrays to it.
The opening of the Supreme Sky Tree World, which only happened once every 8,000 years, had finally come.
Everyone went wild with joy at the sight!
They quickly sat down to decipher the Dao Intent radiating from the Supreme Sky Tree.
They had to get themselves in tune with this Dao Intent to enter the Supreme Sky Tree World.
Soon, some people glowed all over.
They radiated with a powerful Dao Intent as if merging into one with heaven and the earth.
These people had all drank the Enlightenment tea and were closer to the natural magic of the world. As a result, their speed of enlightenment had shot up.
They were surrounded by a thick sea of Dao Intent, mighty and forceful. It shouldn’t be long before they would be in unison with the Heavenly Dao.
A magnificent scene appeared in front of the Supreme Sky Tree as countless strong practitioners continued to be enlightened.
Two hours later...
A roaring Dao Intent was emitted as countless natural arrays descended and surrounded Shi Tianzi.
Shi Tianzi had very high innate talent. Thus, he only needed two hours to get in sync with the Heavenly Dao after drinking the Enlightenment tea.
He stood there proudly as if he was a deity surveying the mortal world. His aura was magnificent.
Everyone was shocked. “His Highness Shi Tianzi’s abilities are indeed without peer!”
Across history, only a handful of people had managed to gain enlightenment within two hours to enter the Supreme Sky Tree World.
Even the sacred leaders of the various sacred grounds could not reach that level.
Shi Tianzi rose, surrounded by divine light.
He glanced at Shen Tian. “Brother Shen, I will be waiting inside for you!”
With that, countless divine rays radiated out of the Supreme Sky Tree World to guide Shi Tianzi inside.
Shen Tian smiled as he murmured. “Don’t worry. I will come looking for you later!”
He was in no hurry to gain enlightenment. It was like he was waiting for something.
...
Fairy Qingyue had also drunk the Enlightenment tea and started her cultivation.
Suddenly, a dazzling divine glow shone out of her body as multiple silver moons appeared behind her.
Fairy Qingyue had the Great Moon Constitution. In the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, she was the Saintess with the highest innate talent.
She had just ascended to the Tribulation Transcendence stage but was already able to cultivate up to six moons.
As the Great Moon Constitution was closely linked to the skies and nature, it was very suitable to decipher the Heavenly Dao.
Fairy Qingyue’s Dao Intent became increasingly strong. Her aura also became very profound and wondrous!
Not long after Shi Tianzi’s enlightenment, Fairy Qingyue radiated with a dazzling silver moonlight and got in sync with the Heavenly Dao.
She looked like she had morphed into an otherworldly fairy as she was guided into the Supreme Sky Tree World.
Seeing that, Shen Tian finally made his move.
He drank a cup of Enlightenment tea and activated his Connate Constitution to start his enlightenment.
Shen Tian was shrouded in dazzling divine light in an instant, attracting countless natural arrays to gather toward him.
The formerly complex Heavenly Dao suddenly became easily deciphered.
The glow intensified as the Dao Intent morphed into a massive wave and surged into Shen Tian’s body.
Supported by the Connate Constitution, it became very easy to decipher.
At this moment, it was like he had merged as one with the world and could easily grasp the concept of the Heavenly Dao.
In just a few minutes’ time, Shen Tian was totally in sync with the Heavenly Dao.
In this man-and-nature-as-one state, Shen Tian charged into the Supreme Sky Tree World and disappeared before everyone’s eyes.
...
Shen Tian had gained enlightenment and left in just minutes.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
“H-He managed to achieve the man-and-nature-as-one state!”
“The Divine Firmament Saint is really too awesome!”
“That’s the man-and-nature-as-one state! How many years has it been since someone achieved that state!?”
The man-and-nature-as-one state was the highest level of enlightenment for the Heavenly Dao.
Even for a normal practitioner, enlightenment was like crossing thousands of miles of mountains and oceans—extremely difficult!
But when one was in the man-and-nature-as-one state, enlightenment became as simple as eating and drinking!
There had been others in past history who had managed to achieve this man-and-nature-as-one state.
They had all been practitioners with extremely good providence and had to enter seclusion for long periods before being able to achieve that state.
However, it didn’t look like Shen Tian was just lucky!
Who the hell gained enlightenment so fast!?
Deciphering the Heavenly Dao within minutes and entering the man-and-nature-as-one state?
It was mind-blowing!
...
“No way... How can that be... Impossible!
“Brother Shen, how did you manage to do it so fast?
“Is it really a good thing for a man to be so fast?”
Nearby, the corners of Wang Shenxu’s mouth twitched wildly.
He knew that Shen Tian’s abilities were beyond measure, but he didn’t realize that they were at such terrifying levels!
Even Shi Tianzi needed two hours to accomplish that. But you managed to do it in just a few minutes?
Can you please give the rest of us some leeway?
Comparing yourself to Brother Shen is as good as a death wish!
Wang Shenxu and Qi Shaoxuan exchanged looks before gnashing their teeth and continuing their cultivation.
After witnessing that scene, Qi Zhan’s eyes were filled with competitiveness. He was also trying his best to gain enlightenment and catch up to Shen Tian as fast as possible.
Surprisingly, the most anxious of them all were Zhang Yunxi, Kun Yu, and the other females!
They panicked on seeing Shen Tian enter the Supreme Sky Tree World so quickly.
They had all witnessed Shen Tian giving Fairy Qingyue a cup of tea.
Now, Shen Tian had entered the Supreme Sky Tree World right after Fairy Qingyue.
This fellow’s actions made all the females feel very anxious!
Unfortunately, enlightenment was a natural process that could not be forced.
Zhang Yunxi and the rest were unable to calm down to cultivate due to their anxiousness. Their anxiety made it even more difficult for them to achieve enlightenment.
Inside the Supreme Sky Tree World...
Fairy Qingyue appeared in a wondrous space.
It was very expansive and as if there were no boundaries at all there.
A murky fog covered the entire area. It was just one boundless empty haze as far as the eye could see.
Powerful and intense arrays spanned the skies. They were far more clear than in the five regions!
Cultivating inside this place would be 10 times more effective!
The Supreme Sky Tree was indeed a realm that stirred the hearts of even the sacred leaders. No one could resist this kind of enlightenment ground!
Gazing at the surrounding foggy area, Fairy Qingyue felt somewhat lost. She had no idea where to go.
This was her first time inside the Supreme Sky Tree World.
She had heard Huang Shi’s briefing about the Supreme Sky Tree World, but she was still somewhat lost and had no idea where to go after entering.
...
At that moment, Shen Tian appeared.
“Senior Sister Qingyue!”
He saw Fairy Qingyue standing there in a daze and walked over.
Fairy Qingyue was surprised. “Junior Brother Shen Tian, how did you get here so fast!?”
She couldn’t help being shocked.
Before Fairy Qingyue entered, she had noticed that Shen Tian had not started cultivating.
That was just minutes ago, but he was here now?
That was... way too fast!
Shen Tian smiled. “I wonder if I can have the honor of traveling with Senior Sister?”
Shen Tian had chosen this moment to enter because he wanted to travel with Fairy Qingyue.
Of all the fortuitous opportunity images above the heads of the Children of Providence, Fairy Qingyue’s was the earliest one to occur and the most profitable!
Naturally, Shen Tian wanted to take this opportunity to leverage off this great fortuitous opportunity.
Fairy Qingyue was taken aback.
She didn’t expect Shen Tian to take the initiative to ask to travel with her.
This made her heartbeat flutter.
Why is Junior Brother Shen Tian asking to travel with me?
Could he be worried for my safety?
Don’t tell me he really likes me!
But he is only in his 20s!
So young~
...
The Supreme Sky Tree World was an enlightenment ground, but it was not as safe as one might imagine.
Not only were there monsters created by the Demonic Dao, but there were also many moving void doors.
Inside those doors were the legacies left behind by the powerful practitioners of the Primordial Age.
The void doors might harbor fortuitous opportunities or great dangers. It was the right choice to travel with another companion so that they could protect and help each other.
Fairy Qingyue had always preferred to travel alone. For a moment there, she didn’t know how to react to Shen Tian’s invitation.
She recalled the rumors of Shen Tian being a Son of Providence. She could benefit from great fortuitous opportunities if she joined him!
In a place like the Supreme Sky Tree World, where there were plenty of fortuitous opportunities, an invitation to join a Son of Providence was very tempting.
Fairy Qingyue considered for a moment. “It would be my honor to travel with Junior Brother Shen Tian.”
Yeap, she believed that she had agreed to join Shen Tian solely for the sake of finding fortuitous opportunities. It was definitely not because Shen Tian was very handsome. Not at all!
...
Shen Tian’s smile widened when Fairy Qingyue agreed.
“Alright, let’s go then!”
He had already achieved his goal. From here on, they could explore this land of fortuitous opportunities.
“Junior Brother, where should we go?”
Since she was on the same team as Shen Tian now, Fairy Qingyue finally voiced out her concern.
She herself had no idea where to go.
The greatest fortuitous opportunities in the Supreme Sky Tree World were enlightenment and legacies.
But one could not gain enlightenment just by sitting down and cultivating.
Even if the Dao Intent here was far more powerful than the outside world!
It was still not enough, far from enough.
The Supreme Sky Tree World contained many enlightenment regions.
For example, the Sword Purification Lake possessed very potent Sword Dao. It was very beneficial to a sword cultivator!
Or the Endless Fire Region, which possessed 3,000 Fire Daos. It was akin to a paradise for fire-attribute cultivators!
There were all sorts of other enlightenment regions.
The speed of gaining enlightenment in these regions was hundreds and thousands of times faster than the outside world.
Cultivating here for one day was as good as cultivating in the outside world for 100 years.
But these regions were hidden behind those void doors. It was very difficult to find them.
One had to find the most suitable enlightenment region for themselves to benefit. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.
...
Shen Tian smiled. “Let’s head to the west!”
He chose a direction at random and headed there.
“West?”
Fairy Qingyue was somewhat shocked.
Before Shen Tian had appeared, she had been prepared to choose a direction at random.
And that direction was also west!
The corners of Fairy Qingyue’s lips curled up slightly upon seeing that Shen Tian had the same idea as her.
Junior Brother Shen Tian and I are truly linked~
The two of them traveled westward.
On the way, they encountered some Dao demons.
These demonic creatures came in all sorts of shapes and types. Some were like ferocious beasts, some were like an illusory mist, while others were hideous monsters!
They exuded powerful Dao Intent and were merged as one with the natural array.
If one didn’t keep an eye out for them, they might not even notice their presence!
These Dao demons had unique ways of attacking. They could control the power of the natural arrays of this world to launch their attacks.
Even a same-level cultivator might not be these Dao demons’ match.
Luckily, there were only Heavenly Venerable-level Dao demons in the outer regions of this world. These were not much of a threat to Shen Tian and Fairy Qingyue.
The two of them could kill off over a dozen Dao demons easily.
The most important thing was that after these Dao demons died, their corpses would disappear, leaving behind shattered fragments of Heavenly Dao shrouded in a glowing mist.
They possessed the power those Dao demons wielded and could be refined.
Nonetheless, they were not that useful to those two. They were not that compatible with their powers, but it was better than nothing.
...
The deeper those two ventured into the world, the more powerful the Dao demons became.
There were extremely powerful Sage-level Dao demons, but Fairy Qingyue still killed them effortlessly.
She was only a new Sage, but she had very formidable battle prowess and could kill opponents beyond her level.
When supported by the six-moon avatar, she could even kill a Four Tribulation True Sage.
Fairy Qingyue alone managed to kill off all the Dao demons they encountered on the way.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian could relax by the side.
At that moment, the void suddenly trembled, and a terrifying aura erupted like a massive tsunami, turning the area upside down.
“Senior Sister, watch out!”
Shen Tian instantly reacted and dragged Fairy Qingyue to the side.
In the very next second, the space which they previously occupied transformed into an empty abyss, as if it had been swallowed by something.
Fairy Qingyue was very shocked.
This monster’s ability to conceal its aura was extremely strong.
Fairy Qingyue did not have the slightest inkling that an attack had been imminent.
If not for Shen Tian, she might have suffered a grievous injury!
“What’s that?”
Fairy Qingyue looked grave.
The Supreme Sky Tree World was indeed not as simple as she thought. There were terrifying things hidden here!
Roar!
A ferocious roar echoed!
It was as if the Dao demon was enraged that its attack had missed its target.
The fabrics of space twisted, and a massive Dao demon emerged. Its aura was terrifying.
The Dao demon had a heinous appearance. It was shaped like a mutant dragon and covered in a faint purple glow and tough scales.
Its eyes were blood-red like two blood suns, filled with a hair-raising aura. Its massive jaws were wide open in rage as if it wanted to swallow the entire world!
The most terrifying part was the Dao Intent it exuded. It was extremely destructive, as if it wanted to tear this world apart and annihilate everything.
“This is a... Sky Swallowing Beast!”
Fairy Qingyue turned pale as she trembled. She had read through the ancient books and seen records of this creature.
During the Antiquity Age, there had been a fearsome race that could swallow all the living creatures on earth.
That was the Sky Swallowing Beast!
This race could control the void and travel through the void turbulence. They had the ability to control the energy of the void.
However, this was not the most terrifying part!
The most powerful thing about the Sky Swallowing Beast was its ability to swallow.
This race had been indomitable during the Antiquity Age. The more powerful ones could swallow the sun, moon, and stars. Even the lesser beasts could swallow the lands and seas.
The most powerful of them all could even swallow practitioners at the Perfected Immortal level.
Where there were Sky Swallowing Beasts, there would be widespread destruction.
Even the natural arrays would be swallowed and disintegrated into a barren landscape.
Fairy Qingyue never expected to encounter a Sky Swallowing Beast here.
This might be a Sky Swallowing Beast created from the Heavenly Dao, but its power was terrifying to the maximum.
This Sky Swallowing Beast’s aura was comparable to a Six Tribulation True Sage.
On top of that, it also possessed two types of abilities.
Void control and swallowing energy!
This Sky Swallowing Beast’s battle prowess was far greater than that of a same-level Dao demon.
Fairy Qingyue turned pale. “Junior Brother, we cannot underestimate this Sky Swallowing Beast. Let’s flee now!”
The Sky Swallowing Beast was just too powerful. It was not something they could handle.
As such, Fairy Qingyue hurried off in the opposite direction, but after 100 meters, she turned only to see that Shen Tian was still standing there.
Fairy Qingyue panicked. “Junior Brother, let’s go now!”
The Sky Swallowing Beast was already near!
It moved at the speed of light and was already in front of Shen Tian now.
The fabrics of space surrounding the Sky Swallowing Beast were all engulfed by it, leaving behind an empty void.
It opened its massive jaws, which possessed an indomitable swallowing power as if it wanted to consume Shen Tian in one gulp.
Shen Tian remained calm, and dark-red flames swirled around his body. His battle intent burned intensely as he went toward the Sky Swallowing Beast.
One fist and the fabrics of space shattered!
Shen Tian’s fist light was invincible and carried with it a dark-red divine flame. It was like a divine ape gushing battle intent.
The dark-red flaming fist smashed down on the head of the Sky Swallowing Beast!
Boom!
Terrifying energy radiated out like a massive wave, instantly shredding the Sky Swallowing Beast to pieces.
The Sky Swallowing Beast didn’t even have the time to emit a single cry. It immediately split in half.
Fairy Qingyue was completely stunned by the sight.
...
Is this Junior Brother Shen Tian’s true power?
That was a Six Tribulation True Sage Sky Swallowing Beast. Yet, he was able to kill it in a single blow.
Tssss~
This is simply mind-blowing!
Don’t tell me Junior Brother really killed a Great Sage previously!?
