I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 461: Supreme Weapon, Spherical Heaven Chessboard!

Seeing the changes in the Purple Mansion Spiritual World, Shen Tian’s eyes narrowed.

He discovered that not only was space expanding, but an endless amount of star power was also pouring down from the heavens.

Starlight shone brilliantly, vast and immeasurable as if a meteor shower cleansed heaven and earth.

Under the baptism of the energy of the stars, the laws here were ceaselessly perfected and transformed.

In an instant, an extremely powerful life force surged from the sky, scattering across the horizon.

Vitality seemed to fill the entire space, and everything seemed as if it was about to be reborn and overflow with vitality.

...

When Shen Tian had just entered the Soul Formation stage, his Purple Mansion Spiritual World had just begun to flourish with vitality.

Plants, flowers, and trees just started growing on the ground.

With the support of this new vitality however, these green shoots grew rapidly as if they had taken a powerful medicine.

The trees rose into the clouds, becoming extremely sturdy.

The flowers and plants underwent a transformation as well. They were wreathed in spiritual light and emanated the aura of life.

It was to the extent where there was even a portion that evolved into spirit herbs, turning fragrant and full of spiritual essence.

This place had turned into a sea of plants and flowers, full of vitality. Even compared to the outside world, it was no different.

Not only that, but a ball of hazy energy also appeared in the void.

It was formed from the fusion of vitality and the laws of heaven and the earth. It was also mixed with strands of Chaotic Qi that coiled together.

The ball of energy burst forth with a dazzling light.

If one were to carefully sense it, they would discover that there were two weak fluctuations of life within it, as if it was about to give birth to a living being.

Shen Tian was shocked and incredulous.

One had to know that there were no other living beings apart from the Chaotic Nascent Soul in his Purple Mansion Spiritual World.

Furthermore, the Chaotic Nascent Soul was a part of Shen Tian’s body and not really considered an independent living being.

This sudden fluctuation of life meant that this world was creating life on its own.

This was too terrifying. Could it be that his Purple Mansion Spiritual World was really going to evolve into a world?

Even though these life signals were very weak and barely noticeable, they could continuously grow stronger by absorbing the vitality and Chaotic Qi present in the surroundings!

It was as if there were two babies inside the energy blob, absorbing nutrients and growing continuously.

However, giving birth to them would take an extremely long time.

...

Shen Tian’s lips twitched upon seeing this.

Weren’t girls the only ones who could give birth to life in their bodies?

What the heck? I am a man of steel and unyielding character. How can I have a baby?

Fortunately, this was within the Purple Mansion Spiritual World and not inside his stomach. Otherwise, he was going to go crazy!

However, Shen Tian was curious. What kind of living being could absorb primal Chaotic Qi to grow?

...

Soon after, Shen Tian’s attention was drawn to the Chaotic Nascent Soul.

It was also cultivating.

Its entire body shone, its body reaching toward the heavens, drawing in and merging the power of the stars into itself.

Streams of dazzling star power poured down from the heavens, carrying an indescribably strong power.

The Chaotic Nascent Soul aroused an enormous devouring force within its body, and it ceaselessly absorbed the energy of the stars, causing heaven and the earth to tremble while boundless gales arose.

The power of the stars poured down like a spiritual stream and entered the Nascent Soul’s body, causing its aura to grow stronger.

“Ahhh!”

As if it felt that absorbing the power of the stars was too slow, the Nascent Soul squeezed its little face into a ball and reached out its chubby hands to grab the heavens.

Boom!

Heaven and earth trembled as laws descended.

The slightly smaller stars were directly shattered by the giant baby’s fist, turning into endless power of stars that scattered into the sky.

The larger stars were dragged by the Nascent Soul and moved around him.

Those stars were originally dazzling with divine light.

However, under the absorption of the Nascent Soul, they quickly turned dull and eventually turned into dead stars, exploding into ashes.

Surprisingly, the Nascent Soul was not satisfied yet. It continued to draw the countless stars towards it, trying to absorb all the starlight.

In an instant, the surrounding nomological laws were as dense as the sea. The power of the stars surged out like a tidal wave.

The light on the surface of the Chaotic Nascent Soul’s body became increasingly intense. It was as if it was in a sea of starlight, undergoing a metamorphosis.

Its body was changing and growing rapidly.

It grew from 33,330 feet to 99,999 feet.

At that moment, the Chaotic Nascent Soul was like an ancient god of heaven and earth, commanding the universe!

Not only that, the Nascent Soul’s body burst forth with incomparably resplendent light.

Holes of light on the Nascent Soul’s body transformed into rapidly spinning vortexes that constantly devoured the power of the stars.

Soon afterward, the holes of light changed, becoming more and more resplendent, and increased in numbers.

The holes of light lit up one after another and continued to connect together, allowing the power to fuse together.

...

Seeing this, Shen Tian was shocked.

This was because the holes of light on the giant baby’s body corresponded to the apertures in his body.

Cultivating the Godfiend cultivation techniques to the Nirvana realm would cause apertures to be formed within the body, and they could transform strength into divine power.

The more acupoints one managed to light up, the more powerful their divine powers would be.

When Shen Tian reached the peak of the Nirvana realm, 365 apertures were lit up in his body.

Now, as he absorbed the endless power of stars, Shen Tian’s Godfiend Body was also transforming.

His acupoints were lighting up at an extremely fast speed.

From the initial few hundred acupoints, it was swiftly raised to a thousand, a few thousand...

These acupuncture points were still undergoing transformation and linking together, erupting with incomparably terrifying power.

For a time, Shen Tian’s mind was silent as he carefully comprehended.

...

A long time later, Shen Tian woke up from his cultivation.

He focused his gaze and discovered that his Purple Mansion Spiritual World had expanded to 1,000,000 miles.

The world was vast and boundless.

Moreover, this world’s natural laws became more and more complete. Boundless spiritual essence was surging from heaven and earth, cleansing the heavens.

At a glance, he saw that the world was shrouded in a hazy mist. The surroundings were all white, emitting a powerful spiritual aura.

The density of the Spirit Qi here was not inferior to the cultivation wonderlands outside.

After the baptism of the power of stars, Shen Tian’s cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds.

His Qi Refinement cultivation had risen from Early-Stage Soul Formation to Peak-Stage Soul Formation.

His Godfiend cultivation had even broken through the peak of the Nirvana realm and stepped into the peak of the Mighty Prowess realm.

There were also 3,650 small apertures lit up in Shen Tian’s body, releasing dazzling divine light.

These acupuncture points seemed to be connected by a thin thread, flowing rapidly, and the divine power hidden within was vast and immeasurable.

This was the power of a Mighty Prowess practitioner.

A Mighty Prowess practitioner was able to fuse the power of the acupoints into a lake, a river, and an ocean.

Under such circumstances, if he were to use the divine power Heaven Splitting Earth Splitting Technique, its power would increase by at least ten times!

...

“Oh no!”

As if thinking of something, Shen Tian’s expression changed slightly.

To others, a breakthrough in cultivation was a joyous matter, but it wasn’t that good for Shen Tian.

This was because he mainly cultivated the Chaotic Tinder Sutra. Once his cultivation level broke through, his providence would definitely drop.

Now, he had directly broken through from the peak of the Nirvana realm to the peak of the Mighty Prowess realm. How much providence would be lost from this?

Shen Tian still remembered that losing providence would cause unlucky things to happen to him and around him.

Back then, even the Golden Crow Thearch had been unable to hold on and had been possessed by an Evil Spirit, almost causing chaos.

And at this critical juncture before a great calamity, it would be troublesome if his providence fell.

Who knew what kind of unlucky thing would happen?

Shen Tian hurriedly took out his mirror and looked at the light halo above his head.

He was slightly stunned.

Shen Tian discovered that his providence halo hadn’t downgraded. It was still a dazzling purple-gold halo.

There was even a faint improvement, and the purple light became increasingly dazzling and profound.

“What’s going on? Why is my providence rising instead of decreasing?”

Shen Tian scratched his head in confusion.

He had already broken through to the peak of the Mighty Prowess realm, so how could he not lose his providence?

But soon, he realized something.

Logically speaking, once he broke through, his providence would definitely drop.

Coincidentally, he and Shi Tianzi had entered the Spherical Heaven Chessboard together and obtained a certain amount of providence.

The two must have nullified each other, which was why his providence did not decrease.

Furthermore, this was an Immortal King inheritance, and his providence was supreme.

Thus, even though his providence had fallen due to his breakthrough in cultivation realm, it still increased by a small portion.

Shen Tian smiled and laughed secretly.

Fortunately, I know my limits and have always been working hard to harvest crops.

Otherwise, I might have to return to the coal pits!

...

Since his providence hadn’t decreased, Shen Tian also heaved a sigh of relief.

He clenched his fists and carefully sensed the power in his body.

Shen Tian discovered that his body was filled with boundless divine power. It was as vast as an ocean and surged violently.

Even Shen Tian himself didn’t know how powerful he was now.

Based on his estimations, he could probably kill a Great Sage with a casual punch.

If he was slightly more serious, he might even be able to kill veteran Sub-Immortal experts.

Shen Tian had a faint smile on his face. His gains from this trip were enormous!

Not only had his cultivation and strength improved, but his foundation had also become very stable. He could transcend the tribulation and become a Sage at any time.

...

After roughly understanding his current strength, Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes and spat out a white stream.

He stood up, found himself stiff, and stretched.

In the end, he discovered that his bones were cracking.

“How long have I been cultivating?”

Shen Tian was a bit puzzled. This kind of situation would only occur after a long period of seclusion.

Previously, he had been cultivating silently and entered the state of being one with the world, forgetting everything else.

He didn’t sense the passage of time in the outside world at all.

Thus, Shen Tian didn’t know how long he had cultivated for.

Immortal King Hun Tian and Ye Qincang walked out of the void.

The two of them walked down slowly. Their figures were majestic, and their auras were imposing.

Immortal King Hun Tian was still enveloped in starlight, and his aura was unfathomable.

Ye Qincang, on the other hand, had covered himself with a layer of purple mist that no one could see.

Immortal King Hun Tian smiled and said, “You’re awake?”

He focused his gaze on Shen Tian and couldn’t help but feel astonished.

Immortal King Hun Tian discovered that Shen Tian seemed to have changed after this period of secluded cultivation.

His aura had become hazier and more restrained. However, one could faintly feel that it contained endless divine might.

Immortal King Hun Tian sighed in his heart. This kid’s comprehension ability was truly abnormal. He had obtained such a harvest in such a short period.

As expected of the person he valued!

Shen Tian cupped his hands respectfully. “Senior Hun Tian, how long have I been cultivating?”

Immortal King Hun Tian replied, “Not too long, just 180 years!”

“What? 180 years?”

Shen Tian’s eyes widened in shock.

It had only taken him two to three years to reach the Soul Formation stage.

This time, he was in closed-door cultivation for 180 years?

In that case, didn’t that mean that the Supreme Sky Tree World was closed?

I had so many Children of Providence to tag along! Did I miss so many opportunities?

Aish! I am having a mental breakdown!

Shen Tian wanted to cry but had no tears. This was a huge loss!

“Senior, why didn’t you warn me?”

Shen Tian had a bitter expression on his face. Even though the person before him was an Immortal King, he couldn’t help but grumble.

This wasn’t just 180 years. To Shen Tian, there were countless fortuitous opportunities and providence!

In the end, he missed it because of a single seclusion!

Ye Qincang felt his scalp going numb.

My little ancestor, you are too bold!

This is an Immortal King, a supreme existence!

Even I can’t even beat him, yet you dare to complain about him?

...

Immortal King Hun Tian didn’t mind, and he was stunned instead.

He didn’t know why Shen Tian had such a big reaction. “Isn’t it just 180 years? What’s there to fuss about? Even a nap of mine lasts hundreds of years!”

Immortal King Hun Tian didn’t care at all. He was an old monster that had lived for countless tens of thousands of years.

A mere 180 years was nothing to him.

Shen Tian cried out in sorrow, “180 years! How many great fortuitous opportunities have I missed? Furthermore, this is during the opening of the Supreme Sky Tree World! What a loss!”

Immortal King Hun Tian waved his hand and said indifferently, “Isn’t it just some fortuitous opportunities? What’s the big deal?

“You brat, obtaining This King’s inheritance is already the greatest fortuitous opportunity of the Supreme Sky Tree World!”

The Spherical Heaven Chessboard was the greatest fortuitous encounter in the Supreme Sky Tree World, so what sort of fortuitous encounter could compare to the inheritance of an Immortal King?

This brat simply didn’t know how lucky he was and was still complaining?

Shen Tian rolled his eyes and grumbled inwardly.

I’m not only doing this for those fortuitous encounters. I’m also doing it for providence!

After wasting so many years, I have missed out on many opportunities to leech off his friends of providence!

Will they have forgotten about me? What if they don’t talk to me again in the future?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!

...

Immortal King Hun was a little embarrassed to see Shen Tian angry.

He wanted to be on good terms with Shen Tian, or else he wouldn’t have spent so much effort to move all the stars here.

If he angered Shen Tian now and lowered his impression of him, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be wasted?

This wouldn’t do. He had to think of a way to make this kid happy.

When he thought up to here, Immortal King Hun Tian said boldly, “Don’t be angry. It’s merely a small fortuitous encounter, so it isn’t worth mentioning. I’ll compensate you.”

He then took out a pocket-sized chessboard and tossed it to Shen Tian.

“What is this?”

Shen Tian scratched his head in confusion.

What use does this Saint have for a chessboard? To play chess with others?

As if guessing Shen Tian’s thoughts, the corners of Immortal King Hun Tian’s mouth twitched. “This isn’t an ordinary chessboard.

“This is This King’s inheritance treasure, the Spherical Heaven Chessboard! “This is how the Spherical Heaven Chessboard outside was set up.”

Shen Tian’s heart skipped a beat. He knew how powerful the board was and that not even Great Sages could break it.

And this was only because the Spherical Heaven Chessboard was located in the Supreme Sky Tree World. Only cultivators under 3,000 years old could enter.

If the Spherical Heaven Chessboard were to spread to the outside world, even a Thearch would not be able to break it.

After all, it was Immortal King Hun Tian’s artifact, and it was extremely impressive.

When he thought up to here, Shen Tian’s brows raised. “Senior Immortal King, what level of treasure is this board?”

The inheritance of Immortal King Hun Tian probably wouldn’t be too bad!

King Pure Heaven smiled faintly. “In any case, it won’t be any weaker than the God of War Pagoda in its complete form.”

Shen Tian was startled.

Although he did not know what level the God of War Pagoda was, he knew that it was terrifying.

It was rumored that the God of War Pagoda had killed a Perfected Immortal even in its damaged state.

One could imagine how powerful the complete state of the God of War Pagoda was.

If the Spherical Heaven Chessboard wasn’t inferior to the God of War Pagoda, it was absolutely a supreme artifact.

...

Ye Qincang was shocked when he heard that Immortal King Hun Tian was going to give the Spherical Heaven Chessboard to Shen Tian.

Shen Tian didn’t know how precious this board was... but how could he not know?

Ye Qincang snorted and said, “Why aren’t you thanking Immortal King Hun Tian?

“Any chess piece here can easily shatter an ordinary Immortal artifact.

“If you can cultivate the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra to a sufficiently high level, the might of the Spherical Heaven Chessboard will be even stronger.

“The chessboard can transform into a trapping array or killing array to restrict the enemy. It can also be used as the strongest shield or armor.

“The 36,000 chess pieces in the game can be used as flying swords or other forms of weapon to kill the enemy.

“When using the Heavenly Star Sealing Sword, 36,000 chess pieces will fall like stars, transforming into boundless sword qi to kill the enemy. It can destroy all techniques in the world.

“Of course, the strongest way of utilizing it would be the combination of the Spherical Heaven Chessboard and the Spherical Heaven Chess Pieces. One can set up the complete Heavenly Cycle Star Formation by himself using them.

“Drawing upon the power of the stars in the outer realm to form the most terrifying killing array in the world.

“However, to achieve this, one must first possess extremely high attainments in the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.

“Secondly, you have to have unlimited Dharmic power. Otherwise, you won’t be able to withstand such huge output.”

...

Back in the Celestial World, the Spherical Heaven Chessboard had been renowned for its battle prowess and was feared by countless people.

For Immortal King Hun Tian to actually be willing to give the Spherical Heaven Chessboard to Shen Tian obviously showed how generous he was!

Even Ye Qincang was shocked.

Shen Tian was bewildered. “Is this thing really that powerful?”

Ye Qincang’s words made Shen Tian excited.

He took out a Spherical Heaven Chess Piece and a supreme-grade True Sage artifact.

Then, Shen Tian circulated his power and controlled the chess piece to collide with the supreme-grade True Sage artifact.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed!

The supreme-grade True Sage artifact exploded into dust and dissipated from the world.

Shen Tian’s eyelids twitched as he exclaimed, “Amazing!”

The supreme-grade True Sage artifact could not even withstand a single blow from the Spherical Heaven Chess Piece!

As such, Shen Tian’s attitude instantly changed. He said with a smile, “Many thanks, Senior Hun Tian!”

Although he had wasted 180 years and missed many opportunities, obtaining the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra and the Spherical Heaven Chessboard was not a loss.

After all, just the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra alone was comparable to 10 or even 100 Thearch sutras combined, and the Spherical Heaven Chessboard was even more precious.

Its value far surpassed the value of Thearch artifacts.

In conclusion, this trip was definitely worth it!

...

Immortal King Hun Tian shook his head with a wry smile when he saw Shen Tian’s change in attitude.

This kid really changed his attitude too quickly!

However, Immortal King Hun Tian didn’t mind at all.

Since he had decided to befriend Shen Tian, wouldn’t the bigger the favor, the better it will be?

After all, that brat was related to that existence.

If I can form a strand of karma with him, doesn’t that mean...

Mhm, I can’t say it, I can’t say it!
