Although Li Yunfeng appeared sincere, the group exchanged looks, at a loss of what to do.
They felt it was a bad idea to reveal anything related to Master Heavens to others. Nonetheless, Senior Brother Li Yunfeng had explained in detail about the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's ins and outs without reserve.
Li Yunfeng seemed plainly curious about the relationship between Master Heavens and the Saintess. In addition, he had ensured them that he would definitely not tell another person.
Thus, if they were unwilling to reveal even such a small thing, wouldn't they seem ungrateful?
"Senior Brother, please calm down. Allow us to discuss before replying to you."
Liu Taiyi took a look at the jade scroll he held in his hands and had an idea. He pulled everyone to the side and whispered, "I think we can tell him. Master Heavens has become the Saint after just joining the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. It's reasonable to say that plenty of people must secretly not be convinced he deserves his position.
"Senior Brother Li is the Haoran Mountain's Prime Disciple and has an extraordinary status. He also has no ill intentions toward Master Heavens. If we tell him what Master Heavens is fond of, it might help them to become friends."
Shopkeeper Song frowned."But, would Master Heavens be unhappy?"
Liu Taiyi smiled proudly."Brother Song shouldn't be aware of this, right? Master Heavens looks upon himself as the Heavens. He is bold and unconstrained! How would he be unhappy over such a trivial matter?
"In my opinion, most of the disciples in the sacred ground do not understand Master Heavens. Most likely, they aren't convinced about Master Heavens' position. In such a moment, we should be more hardworking and help Master Heavens to publicize his epic deeds, giving off a more powerful impression!"
Zhen Zhijia seemed to be deep in thought."What Brother Liu said makes sense. I agree with him."
Xiong Meng took a look at Li Yunfeng."I also agree. I don't think he is a bad guy."
Shopkeeper Song asked reluctantly, "Brother Gui and Brother Gao, what do you guys think?"
Eunuch Gui took a deep look at Li Yunfeng."From the experience I accumulated in the palace for so many years, this person does not seem to be the cunning kind. Although we shouldn't think of harming others, we must be vigilant so as not to be harmed. We definitely cannot reveal
His Highness' secrets!"
Liu Taiyi was slightly startled."Master Heavens' secrets? Does Master Heavens have any big secrets?"
Liu Taiyi's question startled Eunuch Gui as he didn't have an actual answer.
It seems like everything His Highness has done since he left the palace has been transparent/ Strictly speaking, it seems like His Highness really does not have any big secret that would affect his safety.
Eunuch Gui heaved a sigh of relief at that thought. He then allowed Liu Taiyi and the others to continue chatting with Li Yunfeng.
...
"What!? The Saint is proficient in searching and assessing Spirit Ores? The ores he had chosen were never a dud!?
"What!? The Saint also picked the ore from which Li Lian'er obtained the Fairy Calabash Seed!?"
"What!? The Saint was dual cultivating with the Saintess back on the flying vessel!?
"F*ck! The pieces of news are too explosive! There are some things you can't blur out like that! Especially the part about the Saint and Saintess practicing dual cultivation! This can definitely not spread!
"You should know, Senior Brother Fang Chang is obsessed with Senior Sister Yunxiao. Well, this is a case of unrequited love! If he and our Second Senior Brother finish their secluded training and come out, he will definitely go mad with anger after hearing the news!
"Don't worry. As long as you don't spread it, I will definitely take the secret to my grave.
"Alright, it has been fun chatting with Junior Brothers. I shall take my leave. Junior Brothers, you are welcome to come to our Haoran Mountain in the future. If there's anything you want to know, there is no need to worry, just come and find me.
"I am known as the Divine Firmament Know-It-All, so as long as Junior Brothers ask me, I will definitely share with you everything I know!"
Upon seeing that Li Yunfeng left after thoroughly enjoying himself, Eunuch Gui's face turned solemn. He kept having this feeling that something was wrong.
At the same time, on the other side of the Sacred Leader's Palace...
The huge door gradually opened, and Shen Tian walked into the palace. He looked at the Divine Beast Lightning Pillar on both sides of the palace and could only feel a sense of pleasure throughout his entire body.
It was as if the Five Elemental Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning Origin had met its close kin.
Though it was true, as the Mixed Divine Lightning was originally the product of completely combining the Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning, connate was the best.
After taking a deep breath to calm down his anxiousness, Shen Tian looked toward the majestic figure in the center of the palace.
On the throne in the center of the palace was a man sitting there upright. His whole body was surrounded by lightning, projecting a natural vibe of dignity and power.
Shen Tian knew that he was the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan. According to rumors, he was a powerful being in the Tribulation Transcendence stage that could be called the Sacred One.
What was more important was the halo above the Sacred Leader's head—it was pure golden in color!
As compared to the halo of the old Taoist priest, which was white with black spots, they could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Regardless of status, appearance, money, the halo's color, or one's daughter... The Sacred Leader completely won against the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest stood in front of the Sacred Leader and pursed his lips."Junior Brother, I've brought the person here for you."
The lightning-enveloped figure gradually nodded, and his eyes, which were as warm as the sun in spring, looked toward Shen Tian.
The old Taoist priest could not help but be astounded.
The Divine Li Fire Pupil could be used like that!?
The Sacred Leader nodded and said calmly, "Youngster, I anticipate your unlimited potential. You'll surpass us in the future!"
Shen Tian was dumbstruck. He seemed to have heard such a tone on television before.
"Representing the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, I thank you for contributing greatly to our sect. You can tell me if you have any wish, I will agree to anything."
Shen Tian's eyes lit up."Any wish is possible?"
The Sacred Leader replied coldly, "Even if you wish to become my disciple."
Shen Tian hurriedly asked."Then can I not become the Saint? The burden is a little too heavy."
The lightning trembled vigorously before the Sacred Leader replied calmly, "Alright, I have heard you clearly. The Saint thinks that cultivating lightning arts is difficult, so he wishes to become my disciple. I will allow it."
Shen Tian, "???"
Before Shen Tian could explain, he suddenly felt an overwhelmingly overbearing pressure weighing on his body, rendering him unable to move.
Afterward, the Sacred Leader's voice resounded in the palace again."The Saint's attribute is Water, so I'll gift you a water-attribute Spirit Artifact, the Black Tortoise Shield."
Before his voice faded, a flash of black light shot of the radiant lightning—its shape was like a Black Tortoise.
Just as that flash of black light landed in front of Shen Tian, a round shield gradually appeared. It was around two feet long in diameter and black with a mysterious array carved throughout it.
If one concentrated and looked carefully, they could even roughly see the figure of a moving Black Tortoise circulating the shield.
"This is a middle-grade Spirit Artifact. The Black Tortoise shield will take form after pouring in Divinity. It could be said to be the absolute defensive weapon against those of the same stage. At the same time, if you wear it on you, your affinity with water-attribute Spirit Qi will increase too. It can complement your cultivation."
Shen Tian was exasperated."Sacred Leader, did you hear wrongly—"
"The Saint has arrived after a long journey, so he must be exhausted. Return and rest!"
The next second, Shen Tian felt as if his body was no longer under his control, and he directly flew out of the Sacred Leader Palace.
Then a loud bang resounded, and the Sacred Leader Palace's doors closed once again.
The old Taoist priest's lips twitched."You really have no emotions?" he asked playfully.
The Sacred Leader replied coldly, "According to the analysis of absolute rationality, I should make him stay."
The old Taoist priest chuckled."Who would have thought that Junior Brother would also be so thick-skinned, such a rare moment."
The Sacred Leader's voice was void of emotions."From weighing the factors of my face and the prosperity of the sacred ground rationally, I can be thick-skinned."
The old Taoist priest was astounded."Are you really certain that he is the Son of Providence? He is cultivating the Tinder Sutra, " he said reluctantly.
The Sacred Leader replied coldly, "Not necessarily certain, but nothing is absolute. He has the potential to surpass us. There's no harm in trying, right?"
The old Taoist priest pursed his lips."That's right. Anyway, you're rich and not short of money."
The Sacred Leader calmly said, "Senior Brother, I think you will regret very soon."
The old Taoist priest was bewildered."Regret? Regret what?"
The Sacred Leader replied, "Regret that you did not fight with me to take him as your disciple today in this Sacred Leader Palace."
The old Taoist priest shouted, unconvinced, "If I regret, I am the son of a b*tch!"
After saying his piece, the old Taoist priest marched off.
...
You're joking~!
I have been free my whole life, traveling alone and robbing the rich to help the poor. Why would I regret not having an extra burden?
What a joke! That kid cultivates the Tinder Sutra, so he's definitely going to need to spend a huge sum of money in the future.
How is it possible that he is the Son of Providence? Even if he knelt down in front of me and begged me to take him as my disciple, I would never agree, never!
...
The old Taoist priest did not know that shortly after he left the Sacred Leader Palace, the lightning surrounding the throne gradually condensed and formed a figure.
"Since young, he had been ill-fated and destined to be alone as he brought misfortune to those around him. But now, he is blessed by providence.
"Able to turn his destiny around and rise to the top, he is destined to succeed!
"Senior Brother, this time, you've completely misjudged."
The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader looked in the direction of the palace's doors. His cheeks twitched slightly as he squeezed out a smile with much difficulty.
It was as if he was looking at the son of a b*tch leaving.
