Chapter 191: The Big Dipper Saint... Also Cracked!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Big Dipper Saint saw Shen Tian.
Currently, everyone flocked around Shen Tian as he had killed Supremacy Blood Mosquito.
The surrounding young men looked at Shen Tian with eyes full of admiration while countless women looked at Shen Tian with eyes full of tender affection.
Chen Zhongtian instantly turned green with envy.
This glory and respect was originally treatment he should have received instead!
Because I was a tad late, I lost the chance to increase my reputation just like that!? Why aren’t you, the Divine Firmament Saint, at your sacred ground, cultivating? You suddenly had to run here, a land affiliated to my Big Dipper Sacred Ground!?
Naturally, Chen Zhongtian was filled with resentment.
Jiu’er, who was beside Shen Tian, frowned. “Master, that powerful person has a lot of resentment.”
Resentment?
Shen Tian looked at Chen Zhongtian, and his lips twitched.
F*ck! You are the one that drove a chariot right up to my array! It’s already very good that I don’t make you take responsibility for breaking my array and ask for compensation. Yet, you still resent me!?
However, upon seeing that Chen Zhongtian’s originally golden halo had emitted red light now, Shen Tian felt that he should be broadminded and the bigger person.
Things like provoking or attracting hatred were just too childish. The best course of action was to retreat after obtaining benefits, then secretly develop and grow stronger!
Since Black Mountain City’s calamity had been resolved and he had already obtained Supremacy Blood Mosquito’s sutra, Shen Tian decided to leave. Unexpectedly, before doing so, he suddenly saw a frail figure rushing toward Chen Zhongtian.
“d.a.m.n bast*rd! Initially, there was no danger anymore, yet you just had to destroy the array! Shameless traitor! Return my mother’s life to me!”
That was an early-stage Foundation Establishment young cultivator.
In Black Mountain City, he could be said to have a rare cultivation talent, no weaker than Shen Ao. Nonetheless, before Chen Zhongtian, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator was just too weak!
Chen Zhongtian’s eyes betrayed a shred of ruthlessness. It had not been long since he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, so he was in a state in which his emotions were the most unstable.
Shen Tian had already ruffled his feathers a few days ago, and he even s.n.a.t.c.hed his opportunity to increase his reputation today. Not to mention he had crashed his chariot.
Chen Zhongtian was still feeling aggrieved and upset!
What’s worse, his mental demons were about to appear too.
Under such circ.u.mstances, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator actually dared to attack and provoke him?
You’re courting death! Do you think I don’t dare to kill people?
Blood rushed up in Chen Zhongtian’s head. He gradually lifted his right hand and pointed it at that young man. In an instant, the young man, charging at Chen Zhongtian with Sword Kinesis Flight, was locked in the air by an invisible force.
Chen Zhongtian coldly flicked his finger, and a starlight sword aura was suddenly shot out, aiming at the young man’s dantian. If that sword aura landed, even if that young man could survive, his dantian would shatter. He would become a cripple.
The young man glared at Chen Zhongtian—he did not fear death at all!
He and his mother depended on each other. The young man had found an opportunity to cultivate after much difficulty, allowing him to provide a good life to his mother.
Unfortunately, they had encountered the Blood Mosquitoes attacking the city. The young man had been on the city wall, risking his life to kill the enemies all this time. After much difficulty, he had managed to last until Shen Tian caught Supremacy Blood Mosquito, a breath away from resolving this calamity.
However, such an idiot riding on his chariot had to appear and crash against the Divine Firmament Azure Dragon Array, directly destroying it and allowing the swarm of Blood Mosquitoes in!
The young man’s mother had also been near the city walls... so it didn’t take long for a Blood Mosquito to directly suck half of her whole body’s blood.
Seeing that his mother was on the verge of death and could not be saved at all, the young man fell into despair. Thus, how was it possible that he could continue enduring?
If I die, then I die! It’s a pity I am incompetent and unable to take revenge for my mother! If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely take revenge!
Liang Chen gradually closed his eyes, but the impending bout of pain did not come.
A golden flash of lightning appeared in front of Liang Chen and crushed Chen Zhongtian’s starlight sword aura.
Shen Tian, in his Longyuan Divine Armor, had a gentle smile on his face. “Big Dipper Saint, you don’t need to be this ruthless, right?”
Chen Zhongtian’s face turned serious as Shen Tian’s Mixed Lightning Fist’s timing was quite accurate. It was not that simple to intercept a swift sword aura in mid-air.
At least, one had to have a strong judgment ability!
Chen Zhongtian said coldly, “This person offended me, a Nascent Soul cultivator, and attacked me. It can’t be that the Saint of Divine Firmament wants to protect him?”
Senior Brother replied helplessly, “This person just lost his close kin. It’s natural for him to be angry. Senior Brother Chen, could you give me face and spare his life?”
Frankly speaking, Chen Zhongtian’s mindset of being superior was extremely common in every world. Superior people did not need to care about the normal people at the bottom.
However, Shen Tian had not transmigrated for long, and his values were different from Chen Zhongtian.
Of course, there was another reason—the halo above Liang Chen’s head was red with a green light. Although the current Shen Tian did not consider such a halo as being blessed by providence, there was no need to let go of a chance to form a good relationship with him!
Shen Tian stretched out his right hand and unleashed his Divine Devouring Vine to pull Liang Chen from mid-air, freeing him.
Immediately after, Shen Tian asked, “How do I call you? Is your mother still breathing? I might be able to heal her.”
Liang Chen was moved to tears. “Immortal Senior! My mother is still breathing. If Immortal Senior can save my mother, I’m willing to become your slave to repay your kindness!”
Shen Tian stored his armor and followed Liang Chen down the city walls. He saw a woman around 50 years old lying beside the city wall, her face as pale as a white sheet. She had a visible injury—something had almost pierced through her body—but only a bit of fresh blood flowed out.
That was because the Blood Mosquito had already sucked large amounts of fresh blood, resulting in her critical injury. The middle-aged woman was already hanging by a thread, and she might stop breathing any moment.
The scene touched Shen Tian. He hurriedly approached the middle-aged woman and poured in his Spirit Qi to stabilize her breathing.
Liang Chen looked at Shen Tian and the middle-aged woman nervously. He knew that his mother had already lost too much blood. Even if Shen Tian kept on channeling his Spirit Qi, his mother could at most survive for another short period.
In order to save his mother, they would have to use precious spirit herbs. However, how could he obtain such a level of spirit herb in a short period?
He could only rely on Shen Tian now.
As Shen Tian poured his Spirit Qi into the middle-aged woman’s body and roughly understood the extent of her injury, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The Blood Mosquito’s proboscis had pierced through the middle-aged woman’s body. Although this was indeed a fatal injury to a mortal, it was not difficult for Shen Tian to save her.
He took out a small jade bottle, removed the cork, manipulated a drop of Nirvana Holy Liquid, and fed that drop of Nirvana Holy Liquid to the middle-aged woman.
Chen Zhongtian witnessed the whole thing and started doubting himself.
Soon, the middle-aged woman’s body radiated a bright green light, and the originally hideous injury healed at speed visible to the naked eye.
Meanwhile, her face, which was as pale as a white sheet, recovered rapidly, while new blood was created swiftly. Even her originally white hair rapidly turned black. It seemed as if she had turned 20 younger in an instant!
Exhilaration filled Liang Chen. He knelt in front of Shen Tian and wanted to kowtow. “Thank you for saving my mother, Immortal Senior! In the future, I am willing to be your slave to repay you, Immortal Senior!”
Shen Tian revealed a slight smile. “It’s your filial piety that moved me. If you want to thank someone, then thank yourself. Everything happens according to one’s destiny. Maybe you’re fated with me!”
As he spoke, Shen Tian released an invisible force, which lifted the kneeling Liang Chen.
To be honest, the feeling of pretending to be an extraordinary expert was quite good—thumbs up!
However, at that moment, Chen Zhongtian’s bitter voice echoed from the sky.
“Senior Brother Shen! This is the Nirvana Holy Liquid obtained from a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator undergoing Nirvana. You actually fed it to a mere mortal!?”
Shen Tian looked at Chen Zhongtian as if he was looking at a dunderhead.
“The Nirvana Holy Liquid is a medicine. Isn’t medicine’s purpose to heal injuries and sickness?”
What a familiar gaze, familiar words, and familiar heavy blow...
The scene that Chen Zhongtian had witnessed at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground suddenly replayed itself in his head once again. He felt that his head was in a little pain, and his Nascent Soul seemed to be about to crack!
What a d.a.m.ned Son of Providence! He is so willful! I’m so jealous!
At that moment, more and more people crowded around Shen Tian, and they all knelt down in front of him.
“Please have mercy, Immortal Senior! Please help me save my father. I’m willing to be your servant and do anything you order to repay you, Immortal Senior!”
“Let me go first! My daughter is already on the verge of death! I beg you, Immortal Senior, please save her. I am willing to use my life in exchange for my daughter’s!”
“Immortal Senior, please save my dog! My dog helped me to block the fatal blow!”
...
Shen Tian sighed.
Frankly speaking, upon seeing so many people begging for his help, he became softhearted.
Never mind. Not much of the Nirvana Holy Liquid will be wasted, anyway. I’ll just consider it as acc.u.mulating merit on my part.
At that thought, Shen Tian flicked the jade bottle, and a small ball of Nirvana Holy Liquid instantly shot out of the bottle, surging toward all the injured people’s bodies.
Even when the Blood Mosquitoes had breached the city, the ones that had stayed close to the city walls were either warriors resisting against the demons or people protecting their families.
Although Shen Tian was making a loss by using this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid to save people, he had a clear conscience!
The drops of Nirvana Holy Liquid entered every wounded person’s body under Shen Tian’s control, healing their injuries. There was even an abundance of life essence that allowed every injured person to obtain significant benefits from it.
In an instant, echoing words of grat.i.tude resounded nonstop.
“No wonder he’s an Immortal Senior from Big Dipper City. He’s really compa.s.sionate.”
“No, no, no! Didn’t you hear just now? Immortal Senior is the Divine Firmament Saint, while the person that destroyed the array is the Big Dipper Saint!”
“Divine Firmament Saint? Does that mean Immortal Senior is not from the Big Dipper Sacred Ground? He went through all this trouble to help us slay the demons and solve our problem? Even at the cost of using all those treasures?”
“I’m moved, I’m too moved! The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is really kind and compa.s.sionate, unlike a certain sacred ground!”
“I agree! I agree! If not for this Immortal Senior pa.s.sing by here when the Blood Mosquitoes attacked, by the time the Big Dipper Saint arrived, even our corpses would already be cold!”
...
Other than signing praises for Shen Tian, numerous people were whispering and making sarcastic remarks about Chen Zhongtian.
“So ironic! We offer almost half of our income as tax to Big Dipper City, but when things go south, we cannot count on them!”
“Tell you a joke—trust Big Dipper!”
“If not for the Big Dipper Saint destroying the array, not a single soul would have died!”
“My pitiful Rou’er! A Blood Mosquito sucked her blood dry, and not even Immortal Senior’s treatment could save her in time! I have to go to Big Dipper City to redress this injustice!”
“Let’s go together! I heard my master say long ago that the present Big Dipper Saint is a blockhead. He only knows how to follow behind the Purple Mansion Saint and suck up to him! He’s simply bringing shame to the sacred ground!”
“Not only is he incompetent, but he even added to the trouble! More than half of the deceased this time are of his own doing!”
“That’s right! The ugly always cause more troubles! Even the Divine Firmament Saint, who is as handsome as a heavenly immortal, walked into the city through the city gates. That guy just had to ride his chariot!”
“Comparisons are odious. They’re both Saints, but why is our Saint this useless!?”
“My wife and children have all died! There’s no point in living!”
“I want to go to Big Dipper City, spread what happened here today, and support the sacred ground’s other true disciples to overthrow this incompetent ugly Saint!”
“Me too!”
“Me too!”
“Me too!”
...
Humans were creatures that could be easily influenced by emotions.
The Blood Mosquitoes had caused quite a number of deaths and wounded many others after the array’s destruction. Since the culprit, Supremacy Blood Mosquito, had already kicked the bucket, the remaining anger was completely vented out on Chen Zhongtian.
Many people, whose kin had died because of the Blood Mosquitoes and Shen Tian could not save in time, hated Chen Zhongtian. Although most of them felt indignant but dared not speak out, plenty of people were thinking of ways to take revenge!
They wanted to spread what happened today to the best of their abilities and let more people know how incompetent this Big Dipper Saint was. Even if they could not make Chen Zhongtian pay a heavy price, they had to disgust him!
Numerous people throughout Black Mountain City were people whispering, either praising Shen Tian or cursing Chen Zhongtian. They all thought they were just complaining in secret, but what was Chen Zhongtian’s cultivation?
He was a Nascent Soul cultivator, meaning his five senses were extremely powerful. He was slightly curious, so he used his divine consciousness to listen to their conversations, only to hear countless people cursing and calling him names, such as “idiot”, “ugly Saint”, “incompetent Saint”, “sucking up to the Purple Mansion Saint” and so on...
The harsher the words were, the more they cursed!
The more what one didn’t want to hear, the more they mentioned that!
What’s worse, they got increasingly excited the more they complained...
Chen Zhongtian was so enraged his whole body was trembling from anger, and he spat blood out of his mouth!
Immediately after, Chen Zhongtian’s expression changed dramatically because he could feel his originally unstable Nascent Soul becoming more erratic—a crack unexpectedly appeared too!
That’s right—at that moment, Chen Zhongtian’s Nascent Soul also cracked!
Eh? Why was the word “also” used...
“Senior Brother Shen, I have important matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll entertain you, Senior Brother.”
The Nascent Soul’s crack was not something insignificant. He might suffer from mental demons, which would cause him to have schizophrenia, or at worse, he might directly die. Thus, he had to hurry and find a safe place to enter seclusion to stabilize his Nascent Soul, as well as find ways to mend the crack.
At the very least, he had to prevent the crack from getting bigger.
After hurriedly bidding farewell to Shen Tian, Chen Zhongtian rode his Big Dipper Sword and dashed into the distance as if he was escaping.
...
Shen Tian narrowed his eyes while watching Chen Zhongtian’s departing figure. He basically confirmed that the providence of the person whose fortuitous opportunity was s.n.a.t.c.hed would indeed decrease.
Also, as one’s providence decreased, that person would encounter unlucky things very soon.
Qin Gao and Fang Chang had been like that, and now Chen Zhongtian was the same too.
Shen Tian knew that if he gave a copy of the Blood G.o.d Sutra to Chen Zhongtian, the latter’s providence would definitely increase greatly.
However, Shen Tian was curious about what would happen if he did not give the Blood G.o.d Sutra to Chen Zhongtian!
What will happen next?
Will Chen Zhongtian continue to be unlucky, or will he slowly recover his luck?
Hmm, this is an important new research topic.
Since the experiment was an ongoing one, Shen Tian thought of asking Li Yunfeng to pay more attention to gossip pertaining to Chen Zhongtian in the future.
Of course, these were all for the future.
At present, the main mission was to obtain the Blood G.o.d Sutra’s remaining page as soon as possible. This mystic art was able to create a Blood G.o.d Clone by splitting the cultivator’s soul and blood that could not be easily differentiated from the real.
To Shen Tian, who was about to enter the Primordial Battlefield, it was quite useful!
