novelStar Island Trial Begins, Kun Ming Out of Seclusion
| ← Ch.304 | Ch.306 → |
What did "he could track the fortuitous opportunity in real-time" mean?
Simply put, Shen Tian could lock onto the location of others' fortuitous opportunities anytime.
Previously, each time Shen Tian freeloaded onto others' fortuitous opportunities, he would first see the whole process of how the fortuitous opportunity would be obtained in the target person's halo.
Afterward, he would then think of ways to determine the target person's fortuitous opportunity through specific markings like the route taken, road marker tablets, or plaques.
Although such a method of freeloading the fortuitous opportunity was quite useful, the restrictions were too many. It was also troublesome and easy to make mistakes.
Previously, when Shen Tian had a green providence halo, he had directly headed straight into the mountain valley enshrouded by spirit fog because of wrong judgment and had almost been sucked dry.
Afterward, when red light had appeared on his green providence halo, did Shen Tian obtain the ability to determine when the fortuitous opportunity would occur.
Since then, Shen Tian could accurately obtain the specific time when the target person would obtain the fortuitous opportunity when he looked at their halos.
However, it was still not safe enough!
The reason was simple as most fortuitous opportunities might vary.
Shen Tian might directly miss the fortuitous opportunity if he reached overly early or late.
Such an example was when he had been waiting in Black Mountain City for the Mosquito Demon. He had to make a move and stop it at the most precise timing.
If he had arrived too early, he would not have encountered the Mosquito Demon, so he could only wait patiently. However, if he had arrived too late, then it might have all been in vain.
Shen Tian was about to take part in the Chaotic Star Island trial. He had heard from the White Prince and others that this Chaotic Star Island was extremely miraculous since it was completely covered by chaotic aura.
Chaotic Star Island would float above the sea and be moved constantly by the chaotic aura. Thus, its location was ever-changing.
Due to the influence of the chaotic aura, the whole Chaotic Star Island was enveloped in chaotic aura, so it was extremely difficult to distinguish the direction.
Under such a situation, even if Shen Tian could see the fortuitous opportunity beforehand, it would be difficult for him to find an object of reference.
...
However, after obtaining the ability to track the fortuitous opportunity in real-time, everything was different.
For example, if Shen Tian saw a fortuitous opportunity that Qi Shaoxuan had obtained on a certain island, he would have to enter the island at that specific time since the Chaotic Star Islands' location would change anytime.
Once he missed that specific timing, even if Shen Tian found the island's position in the scene he saw in the halo, that island might have already gone somewhere else.
At the same time, the Chaotic Star Islands could change their topography anytime, so it would be challenging for Shen Tian to find an accurate object of reference.
However, those were no longer problems now.
As long as Shen Tian saw the process of that fortuitous opportunity on top of Qi Shaoxuan's head, he could directly lock onto the location. He would be able to find it no matter how the islands moved.
Shen Tian became full of confidence as he gained this new ability before the trial even started. He already could not resist his urge to go all out!
This GPS appeared just in time!
At that thought, Shen Tian smiled.
On the other side, Qi Shaoxuan's Nascent Soul breakthrough had also gradually reached the end.
His Nascent Soul's four limbs had already completely broken out of the Golden Core.
Qi Shaoxuan was still absorbing the Sea God's Star Tear, converting into the purest spiritual energy.
His Nascent Soul turned brighter and brighter as if it was carved by purple jade.
Crack!
His Golden Core had started to shatter completely, and a miniature-sized Qi Shaoxuan in purple armor appeared before everyone majestically.
Roar!
The miniature-sized Qi Shaoxuan slowly raised its head, and although its body was only the size of a pigeon's egg, it emitted a monstrous dragon aura.
The purple light in its hands gathered to form a magnificent dragon halberd, which made him look domineering.
Everyone in the Heavenly Music Parlor instantly felt threatened.
The current Qi Shaoxuan was obviously much stronger than before!
Within a certain private room on the second floor...
Bi Xuanqing flicked his tongue out. He looked toward the private room where Shen Tian was in fear.
"That guy broke through."
Qi Shaoxuan did not purposely conceal his aura, so Bi Xuanqing felt immense pressure from his bloodline.
One had to know that before Qi Shaoxuan successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage, he could suppress Bi Xuanqing and had even defeated Bi Xuanqing.
Now that Qi Shaoxuan had further improved his strength, Bi Xuanqing felt that he no longer had any confidence in winning if the two of them had another fair battle. Instead, he might suffer a crushing defeat.
Damn it! Why are there so many human prodigies in this generation? Does the Heavenly Dao really favor the humans!?
If this guy cultivates for 300 years, then even Kun Ming might not be able to defeat him!
On the top floor, in the room where the Mermaid Princess Yu Pianxian was...
After sensing the sudden surge in Qi Shaoxuan's soul's strength, Yu Pianxian's face darkened.
A supreme treasure that could increase the strength of one's soul was extremely rare in this world. It was not that simple to obtain such an item!
Also, Qi Shaoxuan's soul's strength started to increase substantially not long after Shen Tian had left in a hurry and returned to the private room. It was just too coincidental!
Yu Pianxian gradually lifted her slender and white hands and instantly formed mysterious array formations in the air, shining radiantly in blue light.
Her eyes were filled with astonishment."The Divine Firmament Saint is so decisive! He actually gave the Sea God's Star Tear to Qi Shaoxuan to help him with his breakthrough."
One had to know that Yu Pianxian had heard from the White Prince that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and Purple Mansion Sacred Ground were not on good terms.
Also, the Purple Mansion Saint had blatantly headed to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to challenge them.
Given their relationship, just why did Shen Tian give him the Star Tear?
Is it because he's too invincible in Eastern Wilderness, so he wants to nurture an opponent for him?
Or is it because the Divine Firmament Saint thinks nothing of Qi Shaoxuan, so he wants to dominate him with absolute strength?
As expected of the person I have set my eyes on! He's really outstanding. Not only does he have unparalleled handsomeness, but he's also extremely generous!
Hmph! This time I'll definitely think of a way to tie the Divine Firmament Saint onto the same boat.
I'll tell Father right after I return that we, the Mermaid race, also need a human partner!
...
Everyone within the Heavenly Music Parlor's various private rooms had their attention on Qi Shaoxuan.
However, there was only Shen Tian in Qi Shaoxuan's eyes.
"Shen Tian, I never show my weakness to anyone, so I don't want to owe you!"
Qi Shaoxuan succeeded in breaking through, but he was not that elated.
On the contrary, Shen Tian had bound him and even stuffed the vines into his mouth under everyone's watchful gazes.
Although he obviously knew that it was all for his own good, Qi Shaoxuan felt ashamed. It was a real social death.
After taking a deep breath, Qi Shaoxuan said, "Take it that I borrowed the Sea God's Star Tear from you. I'll definitely return it after this trial ends.
"Also, after Brother Shen reaches the Nascent Soul stage, I hope to be able to battle Brother Shen again. Although I am temporarily weaker than Brother Shen, I won't admit defeat!"
Shen Tian was slightly stunned upon seeing how Qi Shaoxuan was in high spirits after successfully reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
So he regained his confidence again?
Is he the legendary Qi•Sasuke•Shaoxuan?
However, it was a good thing for youngsters to have motivation. Only if he does not admit defeat and goes on more adventures will I have the chance to freeload more fortuitous opportunities!
At that thought, Shen Tian patted Qi Shaoxuan's shoulder in gratification.
"Brother Qi is persistent. You indeed have the potential to become a Thearch. I can promise to battle with Brother Qi after I reach the Nascent Soul stage, but I have a condition."
Qi Shaoxuan's eyes lit up, and he lifted his chin slightly."Brother Shen, just tell me."
Shen Tian smiled and said, "It's the Mermaid Princess, Yu Pianxian, who gifted this Sea God's Star Tear to me.
"In return, I promised to protect her in this trial, so I hope Brother Qi can travel together with me."
Travel with Brother Shen to protect that Mermaid Princess?
Qi Shaoxuan frowned. Frankly speaking, from Qi Shaoxuan's point of view, he thought that danger and opportunity were two sides of the coin in Chaotic Star Island. Thus, it was not suitable to travel with many people.
If it was only Shen Tian and Ao Wu with him, Qi Shaoxuan would naturally have no qualms. He could also maybe accept the four princes.
However, Qi Shaoxuan was hesitant to bring the Mermaid Princess, who was just baggage, together in the trial.
As everyone knew, Mermaids did not have outstanding battle prowess. If they encountered dangers in Chaotic Star Island, Yu Pianxian would most likely be a burden.
Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian in disapproval, but he said, "Since Brother Shen has already decided, I'll agree to your condition then."
After finishing, he turned and walked out of the private room."I've just finished breaking through, so I will need to spend some time to stabilize my cultivation level. I shall take my leave first.
"When the Chaotic Star Island trial begins, I shall come out and join all of you. I'll take my leave now."
Qi Shaoxuan's voice turned faded as he walked further away until his figure completely disappeared at the end of the path.
He seemed to have left deliberately and hastily.
Yeap, it might be related to the social death he experienced.
...
Qi Shaoxuan entered seclusion after returning.
On the other hand, Shen Tian started playing within the City of Bliss, with the four princes playing the host.
To be honest, the City of Bliss indeed had its uniqueness to be called the City Of Bliss.
Besides the delicate and charming Clam fairies and the Mermaid Princess, the delicacies, wine, and rare treasure in this city that was from all over the ocean were countless.
Shen Tian experienced the enjoyment of spending money without concerns, while the Crab Prince paid for everything.
Shen Tian would eat, drink, play, and listen to songs. He would occasionally visit the Heavenly Music Parlor to visit the Clam fairies to see them dance the Seaweed Dance.
One month's time passed extraordinarily fast and enjoyably.
...
As the date to enter Chaotic Star Island approached, the number of people in the City Of Bliss increased more and more.
Shen Tian saw many ocean demons that he had never seen before. Most of them were fish demons, and of course, there was no lack of ocean demons like Seahorse and Seal demons.
Most of these demons did not have a powerful background and were not extremely strong either. Thus, they had no qualifications to enter the trial.
Only a small portion that the major races of the ocean demons had recognized could enter the trial as exceptions. At the same time, it was to appease the emotions of those loner ocean demons.
Of course, there were a few "loner" ocean demons without any powerful backing, who were quite powerful.
For example, a certain Seal demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage could battle Er Tongtian and not lose. Or a certain Abalone demon that was even faster than Bi Xuanqing.
Anyway, too many prodigies had come for the Chaotic Star Island trial.
The whole City of Bliss seemed to be bustling with liveliness in the past few days and became even more prosperous and extravagant.
At the same time, an explosive piece of news shook the whole North Sea, and everyone focused their attention on Shen Tian.
The news was: "The Great Void Kun Prince, Kun Ming, has officially come out of seclusion and has challenged the Divine Firmament Saint in public!"
One had to know that Kun Ming was an invincible Nirvana demon, but he targeted such a young Saint.
...
Black Dragon Island strongly condemned such actions.
