Chapter 44: Master Celestial, We Miss You So Much!
The punch did not seem to contain any profundity, nor was it fast.
However, when Shen Tian punched out, Eunuch Gui felt himself being sucked in.
Shen Tian’s fist was emitting a powerful attractive force.
This attraction force kept pulling Eunuch Gui closer, restricting his dodging speed.
Unbeknownst to Eunuch Gui, there was a gravitational formula in another world.
An object with sufficient ma.s.s could generate a strong attractive force to other objects. Therefore, the denser an object was, the more attractive it became!
Shen Tian’s right fist was covered with Heavy Water, making this move very difficult to dodge!
Of course, the difficulty of dodging did not mean that he could not defend.
Eunuch Gui could feel the power and terror of Shen Tian’s next punch.
If this punch struck him, he could basically meet Concubine Lan.
“Condense!”
The Spirit Qi in Eunuch Gui’s body surged toward the demonic sunflower.
After obtaining sufficient Spirit Qi, the blood-red sunflower became more vibrant and seductive.
It slowly bloomed as if it was opening its mouth to swallow everything.
However, when Shen Tian’s First Essence Heavy Water-covered right fist came into contact with it, cracks quickly appeared on the blood-colored sunflower’s petals.
Following that, a petal shattered into nothingness.
...
Eunuch Gui exerted his full strength casting Demonic Sunflower Protection, but he was unable to block a single attack from Shen Tian.
The red petals pulverized amidst the fist’s wind as Shen Tian’s fist stopped three inches in front of Eunuch Gui.
Obviously, Shen Tian had won this skirmish.
He completely defeated an 8th Firmament Qi Refinement expert at the 4th Firmament Body Tempering realm with a single move!
The silver liquid slowly seeped into his body, and the oppressive aura in the air also disappeared.
Shen Tian scratched his head with a smile. “My body was filled with energy just now. It would be quite uncomfortable if I didn’t vent it out.
“Uncle Gui, are you hurt?”
Eunuch Gui shook his head and sighed with emotion. “Your Highness, you held back very quickly. I’m fine.
“But Your Highness, your punch is really powerful. I’m afraid it’s sufficient to threaten a Foundation Establishment stage expert!
“If Concubine Lan were to know how strong Your Highness is, I’m sure she would be happy down under.”
Eunuch Gui’s words were not flattery.
He had cultivated the Demon Book of Hyuga to the 8th Firmament of the Qi Refinement realm.
In truth, his strength was definitely extraordinary. In an all-out battle, he could even fight against G.o.dfiend Body Tempering experts of the same level.
Given his methods, he could even fight against weaker Foundation Establishment cultivators.
However, in front of Shen Tian, he could not even withstand a single punch.
In that state, Shen Tian was virtually invincible with just one punch!
...
“The First Essence Heavy Water is ranked 12th on the Absolute Water List. Its power is naturally extraordinary.” Shen Tian smiled and said, “My punch just now was augmented with the First Essence Heavy Water.”
Eunuch Gui’s face lit up. “Your Highness, can you control the First Essence Heavy Water already?”
Shen Tian nodded. “I don’t know why. It seems to be very compatible with the Tinder Sutra.
“The moment I activate my Tinder Body-Tempering Art, I can have the First Essence Heavy Water augmented to my force.
“After that, it will flow across my body through this force and temper my muscles and bones.
“With its help, the amount of Spirit Qi I can use to temper my body has increased several-fold. Furthermore, the efficiency of tempering is also increased several-fold.
“Just now, I tried to concentrate the First Essence Heavy Water on my fist and realized that it was feasible.”
Shen Tian didn’t expect that the Tinder Body-Tempering Art he had spent five taels of silver on would have such a miraculous effect.
Could it be that no one had tried to use the Tinder Body-Tempering Art to absorb First Essence Heavy Water before?
Or was there some secret that I do not know?
Shen Tian frowned. He felt that things were not that simple.
Forget it. I won’t think about it anymore. I’ll understand when I have the chance in the future.
Shen Tian tossed his doubts to the back of his mind and began to consider giving his killer move a nice name.
There were no corresponding offensive moves in the Tinder Sutra.
Now, Shen Tian’s Tinder Sutra had mutated after absorbing the First Essence Heavy Water.
It even let Shen Tian create a peerless fist technique.
Shen Tian naturally had to give his fist technique a super-domineering name.
What should I call it!?
Tinder Divine Water Fist?
Invincible Tinder Fist?
Invincible Divine Water Fist?
Saitama Aqua Fist?
Return My Beauty Fist[1]?
...
After coming up with more than ten names, Shen Tian finally had to admit that he was a person who had difficulty naming stuff.
Forget it. Let’s call it First Essence[2] Divine Fist!
When he could circulate the First Essence Divine Water to his feet, he could call it First Essence Divine Kick.
To slap someone with a palm, he could call it First Essence Divine Palm.
If he could cover his entire body, it could be called the First Essence Indestructible Divine Art.
Or perhaps he could make it into some aqueous armor, First Essence Black Rhinoceros[3]!
Yes, it was indeed a good idea.
After all, strength gave him the ability to do anything substantial!
No matter what kind of mysterious secret arts or magical artifacts they were, they could all be destroyed!
Oh right, I wonder if this thing can be sprayed out like a water gun.
If it’s possible, this thing should be more fun than anti-tank Missiles when sprayed on the face!
Yes, that will make it the First Essence Divine Gun!
If he exerted enough speed, he could also develop toward the water jet cutter.
That could be called First Essence Divine Saber!
Shen Tian felt that this was his future cultivation path. There were a few research directions he could try.
It was interesting and fun. He felt that they would definitely be very powerful.
This First Essence Heavy Water is like a panacea!
I’m indeed a genius.
...
Shen Tian calmed himself down and saw Eunuch Gui and the others staring at him.
He calmly coughed twice. “Ahem. We should go back now.”
Eunuch Gui nodded. “Don’t worry, Your Highness. We have already collected all the pure white lotuses in the valley.”
During the three days that Shen Tian had been unconscious, the three of them had not been idling around.
The herbs and the pure white lotuses in the valley had already been plucked.
According to the distribution method mentioned previously, Shen Tian and Little Spirit Fairy each received half.
What was worth mentioning was that Little Spirit Fairy’s storage ring wasn’t very big. It only had one Storage s.p.a.ce.
She had put in quite a lot of effort to store the herbs and pure white lotuses.
...
“Oh right, Uncle Gui, give me the mirror.”
Shen Tian suddenly reacted and was about to look at his own circles.
Eunuch Gui was caught between laughter and tears. He pa.s.sed the mirror to Shen Tian.
He had never realized that His Highness was so vain.
Could it be because Miss Ling’er is by his side, so he is more concerned about his looks?
Well, that should be the case!
If he married Miss Ling’er, Concubine Lan would be happy down under.
Shen Tian looked at his reflection in antic.i.p.ation.
Yes, although his hair was a little messy, that didn’t hide his handsomeness.
What surprised Shen Tian even more was that the halo above his head had turned almost white.
Only a few spots were still stained black, making them look like leopard spots.
And the light surrounding the halo had turned mostly white.
Only some extremely thin black gas was still resisting.
It was only a matter of time before he could turn his halo completely white!
...
After putting away the mirror, Shen Tian and the others followed the rope and climbed up the cliff.
He tidied up his Daoist robe and stuck his two fallen mustaches back on again.
Shen Tian restored his persona with four “eyebrows”—Master Celestial Shen Aotian.
He was graceful, one who could charm all the ladies.
The group rushed back to Myriad Spirit Garden.
To his surprise, just as he stepped into Myriad Spirit Garden, dozens of people rushed toward him.
“Quick, come, and take a look! Master Celestial Aotian is back!”
“Master Celestial, you’re finally back. We’ve been waiting for you for three days.”
“Three days! Master Celestial, do you know how we’ve lived these past three days?”
...
The group rushed toward Shen Tian.
The people in the lead were none other than Lucky Man A and Lucky Man B.
They rushed over and hugged Shen Tian’s leg as they wailed.
“Master Celestial, you’re finally back. We...”
“We missed you so much!”
