I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 421: Are There Prodigies Outside Of Middle Ground?

Chapter 421: Are There Prodigies Outside Of Middle Ground?

Middle Ground was a vast land in the center of the continent. It possessed the most number of ore mines and had an abundance of Spirit Qi, so it was extremely suitable for cultivation.

Due to the terrain advantage, the cultivators and sacred grounds in Middle Ground were far more than the other four regions.

Naturally, there was also a larger number of talented prodigies!

Meanwhile, the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty was located in the most central position of Middle Ground and was extremely far away from Eastern Wilderness.

Even if a Heavenly Venerable wanted to head to Eastern Wilderness from Middle Ground, it would take them about half a year.

If the Golden Core and Nascent Soul prodigies were to head to Jixia Academy themselves, only G.o.d knew when they might arrive.

It was a good thing most of the prodigies sat on the Sage flying vessel of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty that had great speed, continuously zooming through the sky. They only spent one month to arrive at Middle Ground.

The flying vessel gradually stopped and hovered in the air.

Below it was an extremely grand and magnificent area.

Thick heavenly fog enshrouded the whole area, which made it look miraculous.

The cities were spread all over like stars in the sky, and the 18 main cities were distributed in all directions, which corresponded to each other, surrounding the imperial city.

Each main city’s location was extremely special. They corresponded to the general trend of heaven and earth, intermingling with each other and filled with mystery!

It was as if a land from the Celestial World had fallen to the mortal world!

Such a design was as miraculous as the world’s changes, gathering an abundance of Spirit Qi.

The ingenious workmans.h.i.+p excelling nature had transformed the whole place.

...

The various prodigies from Eastern Wilderness were all dumbstruck by such a scene as they walked out of the flying vessel.

“The Spirit Qi here is so dense!”

The various prodigies took a deep breath and sensed how thick and dense the surrounding Spirit Qi was as it surged to them like torrential waves.

The Spirit Qi entered their bodies like an endless river.

In that instant, all the prodigies were enveloped in Spirit Qi, which energized and refreshed them!

Everyone could not help but be astounded.

The degree of abundance in Spirit Qi could even be compared to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

One had to know that the Divine Firmament Small World was an independent world and was a place where Divine Firmament’s ancestors had used supreme power of law to gather the Spirit Qi in the Small World.

Only then did the density of the Spirit Qi in the Divine Firmament Small World be much higher than the outside world.

However, in this place, not only was the density of the Spirit Qi on par with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, but it was also hundreds of times wider!

How could they not be astonished?

To form such a huge area of sacred ground, besides consuming a large number of resources to create the array formation to gather the Spirit Qi, it was also closely related to the imperial city surrounded by the 18 main cities.

They had built the 18 main cities around the imperial city to borrow the power of heaven and earth and gather the Spirit Qi so that such dense Spirit Qi could be formed.

This was a ma.s.sive array formation!

The Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty’s strength was indeed unfathomable.

...

“This is the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty?”

Shen Tian looked around. It was his first time in Middle Ground, so he was quite curious.

Princess Linglong walked toward him with a smile and said, “Brother Shen, this is the Great Wilderness Region. It’s the head of the nine regions in Middle Ground and also the base area of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty.”

“This whole place is the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty’s territory? Then wouldn’t they need a lot of manpower to guard it?” w.a.n.g Shenxu could not help but ask as he walked forward.

As the Great Void Saint, he had extremely high talent, and his cultivation level was Peak-Stage Nascent, so he naturally had the qualifications to enter Jixia Academy. Therefore, w.a.n.g Shenxu also followed Shen Tian and others to Middle Ground.

Once he saw such a scene, his eyes could not help but light up.

Ah~

Huge, this land is just too vast!

Such a big place. Is the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty able to guard it all?

How about I try to see if I can steal anything from inside?

Ever since w.a.n.g Shenxu’s Great Void Const.i.tution had been strengthened, he was becoming more proficient in his control over s.p.a.ce.

More importantly, he had been spending time with Bai Di and Yue Yunde when he was in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. It was like a meeting of minds between people sharing the same rotten tastes!

Thanks to their Heaven-Earth Turbo Speed and Great Void art, the three of them had swindled quite a few gullible prodigies.

In the end, someone had discovered something was amiss and exposed the three of them.

The sacred leaders of the various sacred grounds were enraged and wanted to condemn them in public!

Only after the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Great Void Sacred Leader had come together was the incident settled.

After they were beaten up harshly, the three of them restrained themselves and dared not do it again.

Meanwhile, in the Middle Ground Great Wilderness Region, w.a.n.g Shenxu could feel his hands itching again as he looked at the various prosperous main cities.

“There’s a total of 18 main cities and one imperial city in the Great Wilderness Region.

“Each main city is guarded by a Seven Tribulation and above Great Sage.

“In the central imperial city, there are even Nine Tribulation and above Mighty Sages.”

As the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty’s princess, Princess Linglong naturally had a deep understanding of the Great Wilderness Region.

However, she did not know what w.a.n.g Shenxu was thinking and only explained what she knew.

w.a.n.g Shenxu instantly broke out in cold sweat, and those thoughts that had just arisen were instantly forcibly thrown away.

You must be joking!

What can I do in a city with a Great Sage guarding it!?

Wouldn’t I be beaten up horribly if I were caught?

Better not go looking for death!

...

The various prodigies took a deep breath as they were filled with astonishment.

A sacred ground could not even be compared to the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, which had so many Great Sages and Mighty Sages!

Was this the strength of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty?

It was indeed formidable!

Someone asked, “Princess, where is Jixia Academy?”

The flying vessel had flown away after letting everyone down here. They were not directly sent to Jixia Academy.

Princess Linglong replied indifferently, “Jixia Academy is in the Sky Saint City and beside the imperial city, so it’s quite close to here.”

The place where they had landed was near to the imperial city and was only slightly far away from Sky Saint City.

Princess Linglong explained, “Just nicely, today’s the day Jixia Academy is open to the public. We could go and take a look!”

Jixia Academy would only be open once every 100 years to pick talented prodigies.

During this day, prodigies from all over the five regions would be extremely excited and flock to Jixia Academy.

Meanwhile, today was the day Jixia Academy was opened to even the public, which was unprecedented in the thousands of years it existed.

Therefore, prodigies wanting to enter Jixia Academy could be seen everywhere.

As such, they could even see prodigies with powerful aura heading to Sky Saint City in their surroundings. They were obviously unable to hold themselves back.

There were even many prodigies from the royal families of Middle Ground heading toward Jixia Academy.

Jixia Academy had superior mentors and a long history. If they could study at Jixia Academy for a period, they would definitely benefit greatly. It might even be possible for them to be one of the top cultivators in the future.

Therefore, even those top families like the royal family would inevitably want to send their prodigies to Jixia Academy.

After seeing such a scene, Shen Tian and the others also headed toward Sky Saint City.

Shen Tian wore his mask on the way. It was really impossible for him not to wear it!

Even in Middle Ground, his appearance was still exceptional. That resulted in countless female prodigies stopping in their tracks and just staring at Shen Tian with infatuation, even forgetting about Jixia Academy’s student recruitment.

Many female prodigies started to exclaim.

“Such a handsome man!”

“Which sacred ground is he from? How could he be so handsome!?”

“Ah, I’ve fallen for him!”

“Does he have a Dao companion? What do you think of me?”

“Hey, handsome, I have a powerful dual cultivation art that can increase our cultivation level quickly!”

...

Some female prodigies were more a.s.sertive and could not help but hit on Shen Tian.

Naturally, Princess Linglong and Zhang Yunxi’s expressions instantly darkened. Their fearsome aura erupted, sweeping toward all directions.

That piercingly cold aura seemed to be able to explode anytime like a volcano!

That intimidated others, and they did not even dare to approach Shen Tian anymore!

Meanwhile, Fang Chang and the others could not help but exclaim, “Saint, you’re indeed extraordinary!”

“You draw everyone’s attention no matter where you go!”

“We fall far short of you!’

However, shortly after, Fang Chang could feel a cold s.h.i.+ver run down his spine. He turned to see Zhang Yunxi’s cold glare, which made him hurriedly shut his mouth.

Shen Tian felt resigned.

So it’s all my fault that I’m good-looking? Who can understand my helplessness?

To prevent Zhang Yunxi and Princess Linglong from picking a fight, Shen Tian wore his mask to prevent some troubles.

...

Sky Saint City was one of the main cities in the Great Wilderness Region, but it was extremely special, far surpa.s.sing the other main cities.

There were Nascent Soul prodigies all over the place, and even Soul Formation prodigies were not in the few.

It was mainly because Jixia Academy was in Sky Saint City.

The most powerful cultivators were students of Jixia Academy, so they possessed remarkable strength.

Shen Tian and the others had also arrived in Sky Saint City.

At that moment, a light shone on Zhang Yunxi.

That was the communication token which the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground used to contact the Saints and Saintesses who entered Jixia Academy.

One had to know that the sacred grounds had been in existence for a long time, and they would choose a new Saint and Saintess every 100 years. It was not because the previous Saint or Saintess had died but because they had all entered Jixia Academy to cultivate.

It was also the same for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. Besides the first generation’s Saint, Yue Yunde, the Saints and Saintesses of other generations were all within Jixia Academy.

When Zhang Yunxi and the others had arrived in Sky Saint City, their communication tokens had received a message.

Zhang Yunxi was momentarily stunned. “Junior Brother, our previous generations of Senior Brothers and Sisters have invited us to the Copper Sparrow Pavilion. They say that they want to throw us a welcome party to celebrate our arrival!”

w.a.n.g Shenxu said, “I have received it too!”

Qi Shaoxuan also spoke. “Me too!”

Not only the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, but also the Great Void Sacred Ground, Purple Mansion Sacred Ground, and Jade Lake Sacred Ground had also sent the same invitation as the sacred grounds were all from Eastern Wilderness, and they were all currently in Middle Ground.

Therefore, they decided to have a joint celebration.

Shen Tian looked at the communication token in his hand, smiled, and said, “Since Senior Brothers and Sisters have invited us with such hospitality, we have to go.”

They were from the same sacred ground, so how could they refuse their Senior Brothers and Sisters’ invitation?

After they rested for a moment, they headed toward the Copper Sparrow Pavilion.

...

The Copper Sparrow Pavilion was the most prosperous restaurant in Sky Saint City.

It was splendid and magnificent.

On the top floor of the restaurant, there was a copper sparrow statue made from Spirit Copper.

The copper sparrow was surrounded by resplendent divine light. It looked so vivid and lifelike that it seemed to want to take off and soar into the sky, directly flying into the Celestial World.

There were people wearing clothing of the various sacred grounds within the Copper Sparrow Pavilion. They were arranging the banquets in the restaurant.

“My Junior Brother, Purple Mansion Saint Shaoxuan, will be coming, so I shall pay this time. Everyone, please do not fight with me.”

The man speaking wore purple clothes and was the Ninth Purple Mansion Saint. He was a person with great generosity, so he prepared to directly book the private room of the highest grade, the Golden Phoenix room!

“How could I do that? You know that there are many prodigies from my Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, so how could I trouble you?”

The person who spoke was the Eighth Divine Firmament Saint.

It was because within the list of prodigies who had entered the academy, not only were there the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s offspring but also the Divine Firmament Saint, who was already famous throughout the whole five regions and had been mentioned by the Great Thearch Huang s.h.i.+!

Therefore, the previous generations of Divine Firmament Saints were all honored!

They did not want others to be the host.

“Then it’s settled. Please allow us to have the honor!”

The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint had also walked out and paid the money to book the room without hesitation.

The Ninth Purple Mansion Saint could not help but smile awkwardly when he saw such a scene.

He had no other choice!

It was true that the prodigies from the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground were fewer than the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground...

One had to know that only one person in the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground was relatively top-notch, Qi Shaoxuan.

However, in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, apart from Shen Tian, the other four top prodigies of the Divine Firmament were also on par with Qi Shaoxuan!

This time, the number of Divine Firmament prodigies who entered the academy was the highest.

If others fought to pay the bill with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, then it would mean that they did not give face to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

The Ninth Purple Mansion Saint shook his head with a smile and did not continue insisting.

However, at that moment, a few figures barged in.

“Wait a second!”

“The Golden Phoenix room is ours!”

...

The various prodigies looked in the direction of the voices—it was also a group of young prodigies. They wore expensive-looking robes, and their auras were thick and vigorous. It was obvious that their cultivation levels were quite high.

The Eighth Divine Firmament Saint stepped forward and narrowed his eyes as he looked toward that group of people. “You’re from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground? What do you want to do?”

“We’ve already booked the Golden Phoenix room, so it can’t be that you want to s.n.a.t.c.h it forcibly?”

Those people were Middle Ground’s Nine Sun Saints.

Prodigies from Middle Ground’s sacred grounds all looked down on others that were not from Middle Ground. Thus, they were on bad terms with the Saints and Saintesses from the other four regions. They believed that they were exceptional, and the other four regions were remote and backward places, so they deemed those from the other four regions inferior!

The previous generations of Saints and Saintesses from Eastern Wilderness would naturally not show a good att.i.tude to hostile people.

“Just you b.u.mpkins from such a backward place dare to compete with us for the room?

“I might as well tell you frankly that the South Prince and North Prince are going to hold a banquet in the Golden Phoenix room today.

“So I advise you to be sensible and beat it obediently, or we won’t mind throwing all of you out.”

That prodigy from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground had a smirk on his face, and his tone was filled with ridicule.

A savage sect from Eastern Wilderness dares to fight with the South Prince? They must have a death wis.h.!.+

The Ninth Purple Mansion Saint could not stand watching, so he walked up and shouted, “You’re going too far!”

However, another group of people appeared behind those from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground. They were all Saints from Middle Ground’s sacred grounds.

The Sky Tripod Saint sneered. “Just a weakling from the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground, and you still want to help others out? Why don’t you go back and see if your Sixth Senior Brother has recovered from his injury!”

The Sky Tripod Sacred Ground and Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had always been on bad terms.

Some time ago, the Sixth Purple Mansion Saint had been injured heavily by the Sixth Sky Tripod Saint when fighting, and he had yet to recover completely even after resting for a few months.

Those from the Sky Tripod Sacred Ground were naturally extremely arrogant and thought nothing of the Ninth Purple Mansion Saint.

“You!”

The Ninth Purple Mansion Saint was enraged and even wanted to rush forward and make a move.

However, he was stopped by the Eight Divine Firmament Saint. “Calm down.”

This time, only the younger generation of Saints from the various sacred grounds had come. Those of the older generations were all in seclusion, trying to break through to a higher stage.

Meanwhile, amongst those Middle Ground Saints, not only did they have the advantage in numbers, but there were also older generation Senior Brothers with them.

If they really did fight, Eastern Wilderness’ prodigies would most likely lose.

However, that did not mean that they would admit defeat!

The Seventh Divine Firmament Saint stepped forward and scoffed. “Those from the Sky Tripod Sacred Ground, don’t be too arrogant. If First Senior Brother were here, how would you dare to be so presumptuous?”

Upon hearing the Seventh Divine Firmament Saint’s words, fear could not help but appear on the faces of the various Middle Ground Saints.

Obviously, they had been intimidated by this First Senior Brother that the Seventh Divine Firmament Saint had mentioned. The First Divine Firmament Saint was widely known as the most unreasonable and hard to deal with.

Not only was he powerful, but he was also thick-skinned.

No one wanted to provoke the First Divine Firmament Saint as they would only be beaten up if they provoked others, and at most result in death. However, if the First Divine Firmament Saint held a grudge against them, they would not be able to even rest in peace on their deathbed.

...

“Such a joke. What do you mean by mentioning your First Senior Brother?”

At that moment, a sneer echoed. “Your First Senior Brother should be that fatso Yue Yunde! He’s a shameless bast*rd that only knows how to dig other people’s ancestral graves. How laughable! Tell him to come to fight me if he dares. I’ll break his legs!”

Another two figures appeared behind the various Middle Ground prodigies.

One of them wore golden silk feathered clothes, had sharp eyes, and brilliant golden light enveloped him from head to toe.

He carried a Sage longsword behind him and had a fearsome aura as if the Divine Eagle had descended from heaven.

The other wore colored glaze clothes and had a deep and restrained aura.

He looked ordinary, but he was greatly fearsome. He was like a Black Tortoise that was asleep. He was as still as the mountain but could unleash his relentless ferocious attacks anytime!

Those two people were the North Prince, s.h.i.+ Ling, and South Prince, s.h.i.+ Kui.

They were the cream of the crop amongst the Middle Groundyoung prodigies!
