Chapter 231 We Welcome You With Open Arms (3/4)
In the Primordial Battlefield, in a certain ma.s.sive and rather uniquely-constructed cave amongst the mountains...
The entrance of this cave was not very large, but several meters in, the cave suddenly opened up.
A tremendous underground palace was hidden inside this cave.
This underground palace was very big and entirely carved out of a special stone that was as white as jade. It looked very extravagant.
18 giant silver wolves were crouched at the front of the palace, all of them exuding an exceptionally powerful aura.
A sign hung above the main doors of the palace. Three words were written on it in gold: Thousand Weapons Palace.
Creak~
The main doors of the palace opened.
A bunch of humans and five birds emerged from it.
It was Shen Tian and his companions. They had finished their training in this Thousand Weapons Palace.
Shen Tian smiled contentedly upon looking at the nearly golden halo on Qin Yundi’s head.
Yes, this Thousand Weapons Palace was indeed the fortuitous opportunity presented on Qin Yundi’s head.
In ancient times, this palace had been painstakingly crafted by the wandering Thousand Weapons Saint. It had been specially created to test and select the most suitable successor.
Although this Thousand Weapons Saint had not had exemplary battle prowess, he had been very good at crafting.
He had been especially skilled at crafting powerful puppets to fight his enemies.
Legend had it that the Thousand Weapons Saint had once controlled 18 peak-level Soul Formation silver dragon puppets at his peak. They had torn another Saint into pieces.
A pity that on the Primordial Battlefield, even a Saint could not guarantee they would not die.
In the end, the Thousand Weapons Saint had perished under a sneak ambush by his enemies, leaving behind this legacy palace.
Shen Tian had seen this palace on top of Qin Yundi’s head. As a result, he had brought the group to this Thousand Weapons Palace ahead of time and forced his way through all the tests.
Don’t ask me why it was so easy. The reason was simple. This was because Shen Tian had already seen the script on Qin Yundi’s head.
In the original script, Qin Yundi had struggled for a long time before finally discovering those puppets’ weaknesses. But Shen Tian had managed to immediately hit the nail on the head, as everyone stared in amazement, especially Qin Yundi. He now gazed at Shen Tian with sparkling eyes.
He was indeed Senior Brother Shen Tian. Not only was he peerless in terms of Qi Refinement and Body Tempering, he even had such an in-depth understanding of puppets.
There was nothing he could not do! He was indeed the perfect idol for all the disciples.
You are our guiding light!
“Yundi, your divine consciousness is naturally more powerful than normal people. You can easily control several Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns at once.
“The main theme of this Thousand Weapons Sutra is how to control multiple things at once. It is very suitable for you. You must study it carefully from now on.”
Shen Tian smiled as he advised Qin Yundi.
Originally, although Qin Yundi had managed to pa.s.s the test, he had spent too much time on it and hadn’t gotten a good score.
As a result, Qin Yundi had only managed to obtain the four-scroll Thousand Weapons Sutra’s first two scrolls. He hadn’t obtained the complete version.
Nonetheless, since Shen Tian had already known what was going to happen-and he was more powerful than Qin Yundi anyway-he had pa.s.sed all the tests in the shortest amount of time.
Therefore, he had easily obtained the entire sutra and had even become the Thousand Weapons Saint’s chosen successor.
Shen Tian was now holding a token. It was the token acknowledging him as the owner of the Thousand Weapons Palace.
As long as he had this token, he would be able to use all the weapons in that palace. It was nearly as valuable as a divine artifact. Shen Tian was very satisfied with his gain. What made him even happier was that his providence had increased by quite a bit after gaining this fortuitous opportunity.
After performing some hand seals, he drew the large Thousand Weapons Palace back into the token and released the 18 silver wolves from his ownership.
“Junior Brother Yundi, these 18 silver wolf puppets are at the Golden Core stage.
“If you can control them perfectly, you will be able to dominate over all the prodigies on the Eastern Wilderness Golden Core List!
“Amongst us all, you are the only one with a divine consciousness powerful enough to control these wolves.
“I am giving you these 18 silver wolves today. I hope that you will not let down the great name of our predecessor.”
Qin Yundi was extremely moved as he gazed upon Shen Tian’s sincere, smiling face.
It must be pointed out that although these 18 silver wolf puppets were only at the Golden Core stage, the materials used to craft them were very expensive.
If he could control these 18 wolves perfectly, he would be able to form a “Silver Wolf Pack Hunting Array”. This would greatly increase his battle capabilities.
Even a normal Nascent Soul pract.i.tioner would be torn apart by these 18 silver wolves’ highly-coordinated attacks.
If he could perfectly control these wolves, Qin Yundi’s battle prowess would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
“Thank you, Senior Brother. I will definitely try my best!”
Shen Tian nodded at Qin Yundi’s thanks.
“Also, Yundi, I don’t wish to see you stagnate. You are very interested in studying exploding talismans, Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns, and these puppets. And these are not mutually exclusive.”
Qin Yundi fell into deep thought. But he felt like something was still blocking his view of the wider picture.
Opening his eyes wider, he gazed at Shen Tian like how one would gaze at a G.o.d in worship. “Senior Brother, please give me some pointers.”
Shen Tian replied calmly, “It’s very simple. If you are interested, you can try adding a weapon like the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun to those puppets in order to increase their abilities. You might be able to create some unexpected results.” Qin Yundi mulled over this.
Does Senior Brother mean for me to use the exploding arts to bring a whole new level to these puppets?
His eyes gradually brightened.
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.
Phew!
After spending five whole days, he finally managed to clear out the fortuitous opportunities on his companions’ heads.
Meanwhile, the halo on Shen Tian’s head had turned from the original half-red, half-green to mostly red with only a small portion of green now.
But Shen Tian was still feeling very uncertain. His providence had decreased, but he hadn’t encountered any unlucky incidents.
It must be pointed out previously in the Fog Plain when Shen Tian had broken through to the Transcendence realm, he had been bound by the Divine Binding Vine and transported to the Fog Valley because his providence had decreased.
If Zhao Hao’s Master hadn’t died, which increased Shen Tian’s providence in time, he would have been a goner.
But why hadn’t he encountered any danger this time? Even though he had a breakthrough and his providence decreased?
Could it be he was being very careful? But no matter what, it was for the best he hadn’t encountered any danger.
At that moment, Shen Tian’s teleportation jade talisman became increasingly warm and floated out.
The faces of everyone stiffened. This was because this meant the special period in the Primordial Battlefield was about to be over.
Those dominant lords of the deeper regions of the battlefield would be returning soon. Those soulless creatures who used to be at the Nascent Soul stage and below would no longer be safe.
Everyone had to immediately activate their teleportation jade talisman and return home.
“We need to return home now.” Shen Tian calmly infused some magic into the teleportation jade talisman. He looked at Kong Meng, Jin Yu, and the rest.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you as guests to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground whenever you get the chance to visit in the future.”
Kong Meng stared at Shen Tian longingly. She nodded. “You are welcome to my people’s place as a guest anytime. We welcome you with open arms.”
Jin Yu felt somewhat abashed. He felt that if they were going to battle... It was better not to meet again!
As he infused magic into the teleportation jade talisman, Shen Tian could feel a strange energy pulling at him.
A bizarre light moved rapidly in front of him. It was as if s.p.a.ce and time were transforming right before his eyes. It had finally ended.
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief as he relaxed significantly.
It must be said that although he had been on tenterhooks the entire time in the Primordial Battlefield, he had gained quite a lot.
As long as he could safely return, he would be the biggest winner in this Primordial Battlefield Trial!
One second...
Two seconds... Three seconds... After the teleportation was completed, the smile on Shen Tian’s face slowly stiffened.
This didn’t look like the sect town!
