The scene of Shen Tian bargaining with the old Taoist priest shocked everyone in the palace. What they had experienced today totally changed their world view and perception of cultivation.
Many cultivators did not even dare to dream of becoming the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Saint and marrying the beautiful Saintess. Yet, Shen Tian was doing everything he could to push away this opportunity.
Most importantly, despite his refusal, that powerful old Taoist priest from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was on the verge of begging Shen Tian to take up the role.
The sacred ground had never positioned themselves so lowly before!
Just exactly who was the 13th Prince of the Country of Fire?
On the other hand, Shen Xiao looked at Shen Tian full of fatherly love. He had no idea how his son did it, but he did not have to worry about his son anymore.
After all, even the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was inviting him to become their Saint and take the Saintess as his wife.
If Lan knew, she would definitely be happy.
The old Taoist priest decided to rest for one day before embarking on the journey back to Divine Firmament Sacred Ground upon seeing that Shen Tian had finally agreed.
"Sister Yunxi, can Lian'er come too?" asked Li Lian'er with the flowerpot still on her head.
Zhang Yunxi was speechless."Don't you need to go back and accompany your father?"
"I don't want to! I've finally snuck out!"
Then, she whispered to Shen Tian, "Brother Shen, are you really not going to have any romantic relationships before you are a Nascent Soul cultivator?
"It's okay. Since Brother Shen joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, it is actually pretty easy to reach Nascent Soul.
"Lian'er can go to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground together with Brother Shen and train with you!"
Zhang Yunxi heard the conversation and said sternly, "Our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is not your home! You should go home now."
Li Lian'er pouted and said, "I don't want to! Lian'er can stay with my second uncle!"
Li Lian'er's second uncle was Li Qinhe. He was one of the nine Elders in Divine Firmament Sacred Ground that had reached Soul Formation.
Zhang Yunxi did not have a good reason to reject Li Lian'er if she insisted on visiting her relative in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Suddenly, a beam of purple light appeared. It shot into Weiyang Palace, engulfed Li Lian'er and Shen Ao, and disappeared swiftly.
It was Supremacy Zi Yang!
Li Canglan had ordered him to bring Shen Tian back to Grand White Grotto-Heaven. Unfortunately, not only did he fail his mission, but he also lost the Sword Supreme Token.
He had already foreseen how terrible his life would be in Grand White Grotto-Heaven. He could only return and bring these two back so that his Senior Brother would not be so angry with him.
It was the guards' fault that Li Lian'er had left Grand White Grotto-Heaven without anyone knowing. It would be a merit point if Supremacy Zi Yang brought her back.
Although his Senior Brother wanted Shen Tian, with Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and the Saintess around, it would be impossible. Thus, he could only take Shen Tian's brother, Shen Ao, instead.
Since his name is similar to Shen Aotian, maybe Senior Brother can let out his rage on him!
Bringing Shen Ao back would be Supremacy Zi Yang's second merit point.
Oh, my disciple... You might need to sacrifice yourself for a few months. However, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
As long as you can handle your Martial Uncle Long River's training, you will be one of the top sword artists in the future!
I can guarantee that!
"Brother Shen, Lian'er will visit you in Divine Firmament Sacred Ground soon! Wait for Lian'er!"
A strand of ahoge could still be seen in the purple light before Li Lian'er's voice faded as they went further.
Zhang Yunxi took a deep breath, and the lightning surrounding her body slowly disappeared.
I'll have to talk with this Sword Venerable Long River in the future and ask him to look after his own daughter. It would be unsightly for her to run away from home just for a man!
After ensuring that Li Lian'er had finally left, Zhang Yunxi smiled and made a 'V' sign in her heart.
...
That night, Zhang Yunxi and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stayed in the palace.
The news of Shen Tian joining a sacred ground spread fast and shocked everyone.
Surprisingly, Shen Tian was sleeping soundly on his bed despite the next day being his big day. Although he had been forced to become their Saint, he had successfully avoided the marriage.
He had also found a very good excuse to turn down females in the future if they were pouncing on him because of his looks.
"I've made a promise to myself to stay away from romantic relationships before I reach the Nascent Soul stage."
This excuse would be very convincing in the cultivation world. The only concern was that he should have said Soul Formation instead, as it would be harder to reach!
Anyway, Shen Tian was relieved that he had finally settled the problems. Others would less likely target him without the two girls around him.
Well, some people would still be jealous of him for becoming a Saint. Thus, Shen Tian had made up his mind to focus on cultivation and go out less often.
He would slowly discover more people with whom he could share their fortuitous opportunity and make his halo dark green and then red.
When he became a Soul Formation cultivator and had a golden halo, he would be invincible in the cultivation world.
Shen Tian had fallen into a deep sleep with the future path planned in his mind.
The next day, Shen Tian bade goodbye to his father and left the country with the rest of his companions.
Yes, he was not alone.
Shen Tian was not the only person Zhang Yunxi and the old Taoist priest wanted in the Country of Fire. They needed everyone who had part of the Divine Lightning Origin. Namely, Eunuch Gui, Qin Gao, Shopkeeper Song, Zhijia, Taiyi, and Xiong Meng.
However, they had not absorbed enough power to attack with the Mixed Divine Lightning like Shen Tian.
Nonetheless, it would be very easy for them to cultivate the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique and Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art as they possessed the origin. Thus, they were very valuable to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground too.
Although two of them were slightly old, age was not a problem in the sacred ground. As long as they were talented and had potential, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground could allow them to reach the Golden Core stage or even Nascent Soul.
Everyone thought they were dreaming when they boarded the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel.
A few days ago, they were just normal cultivators in Myriad Spirit Garden. But now, they were Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's inner sect members—that was a tremendous life change.
Also, Shopkeeper Song absorbed 10% extra Divine Lightning Origin compared to the rest. Thus, he was now a disciple of the sacred ground.
In their minds, they were enjoying all these privileges due to Master Celestial's favor. It was all because they had maintained their fateful ties with Master Celestial.
Master Celestial was helping them because of the things they did for him.
Believe in Master Celestial, and success will come to us!
