I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 448: In the Future You Must Lick Your Boss’ Boots More!


Chapter 448: In the Future, You Must Lick Your Boss’ Boots More!

As the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was being absorbed, Qi Zhan underwent another evolution. His aura surged, and his blood boiled. His body was like a furnace, bubbling with powerful essence energy!

A blazing fiery glow radiated from his eyes. It was extremely formidable as if he wanted to penetrate through all space and time!

His golden fur sparkled even brighter as if it was the scorching sun. His aura churned endlessly, swirling up into the heavens.

At this point, Qi Zhan’s cultivation level was nearly at the final gateway right before he could undergo tribulation to become a Sage.

Rumble!

Thunder boomed as if the skies were angry, and dark, intense Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered.

The expansive Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, exuding a terrifying pressure.

“It’s the Heavenly Tribulation! This kid is about to become a Sage!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch’s eyes hardened. He waved his hand and removed the sealing array he had previously set up over the Sacred Battle Abode.

The Heavenly Tribulation clouds surged forth upon detecting Qi Zhan’s aura. Lightning flashed amongst the dark clouds as thunder boomed.

Lightning streaked across the Heavenly Tribulation clouds as if they were newly-born dragons.

Lightning flashed like dancing electric snakes, and its aura was oppressive to the maximum!

“Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation! Looks like another powerful practitioner is about to emerge in my race!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch’s eyes shone brightly.

There were protocols for one to become a Sage. One must overcome a Heavenly Tribulation to become a Sage. The more powerful the practitioner, the more terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation would be.

Nonetheless, there were also a lot of benefits to a cultivator to undergo a more powerful tribulation.

One’s powers would greatly increase after overcoming a lightning tribulation. Their physical body would be cleansed by the lightning tribulation and undergo evolution.

An Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was considered very powerful amongst all the tribulations.

If Qi Zhan could overcome this Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, his battle prowess would far surpass a new Sage.

Like Qi Zhan, new Sages were practitioners who had very powerful innate talent and could battle beyond their levels. They were akin to top prodigies who could hold themselves against a Sage when they were only at the Soul Formation stage!

However, they usually only underwent normal Heavenly Tribulations when they ascended to the Sage level. As a result, they were no match for Qi Zhan.

The Heavenly Tribulation was not just a test. It could provide a major boost to one’s abilities.

...

Given Qi Zhan’s current battle prowess, he could kill a Five Tribulation True Sage. The moment he became a Sage, he would be able to hold himself even against a Great Sage!

The dark Heavenly Tribulation clouds became even more intense, and they dazzled with flashes of lightning. The terrifying aura was like a Heavenly Punishment about to descend on the mortal world to destroy everything!

The power of the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was too terrifying. Even a normal True Sage would find it very difficult to fend against it.

Boom!

The clap of thunder echoed through the skies as the Heavenly Tribulation clouds churned even more violently.

Soon, terrifying lightning shot out. Streaks of lightning crisscrossed, creating a dazzling divine glow as it shot straight down to the ground.

The Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation had a total of 72 tribulation lightning bolts. Every single tribulation lightning bolt was 10,000 feet in size.

The light was dazzling, and it morphed into a lightning beast with sharp claws and fangs, tearing its way over.

Qi Zhan remained calm. He stood up and charged toward the Heavenly Tribulation clouds.

He entered the sea of clouds to pit himself against the Heavenly Tribulation lightning with his bare fists!

He threw a single punch, and the heavens resonated.

Qi Zhan’s fist glowed magnificently, possessing a boundless battle intent. It morphed into a dark red divine fist as he smashed it down.

As he waved his fist, his dark-red battle intent filled the skies, dispelling the surrounding clouds. He was like an indomitable battle god shooting his way through!

Bang!

A loud explosion resounded!

The lightning shattered and dispersed in all directions.

Qi Zhan stood there in mid-air, bathed in lightning. His aura dazzled and lit up the earth.

The lightning energy entered his body and strengthened his physical body.

The more he battled, the fiercer he became. His fist was like a divine roaring ape, easily tearing through the lightning tribulation.

At this point, nine tribulation lightning bolts had been destroyed!

...

Rumble!

The Heavenly Tribulation had not reached its end yet. There were a total of 72 tribulation lightning bolts, after all. The more intense the Heavenly Tribulation clouds, the more terrifying and dazzling the lightning was.

Rumble!

Another rumbling crash jolted the entire area.

18 lightning strikes were unleashed, morphing into multiple lightning dragons. They opened their jaws wide as they charged down from the skies.

“Just in time!”

Qi Zhan hollered as he swung his staff toward the lightning dragons!

“Total Annihilation!”

The divine staff in Qi Zhan’s hand vibrated strongly before magnifying into a massive staff avatar, spanning across the space.

In an instant, the fabrics of space were shredded as a boundless divine glow crashed onto the lightning dragons.

Boom!

Lightning scattered in all directions—the huge lightning dragons were shattered by that staff strike!

Qi Zhan stood there in a dashing manner, burning with battle intent all over. He was like a god who was about to turn this world upside down.

His staff was swift as the wind and very powerful. Every single strike managed to destroy a lightning dragon.

The 18 tribulation lightning bolts were completely annihilated in just a short period.

Boom!

The Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation once again unleashed its power, creating countless ferocious beasts which charged madly down.

36 tribulation lightning attacks were emitted. Its power was far more terrifying than the previous attack.

The lightning beasts howled malevolently. Their roars caused the fabrics of space to tremble so violently that they shattered.

These lightning formations were based on the great ancient beasts. Their emergence caused the area to grow dark and the sun and moon to lose their luster!

Qi Zhan looked grave as he faced so many tribulation lightning beasts. He was feeling immense pressure.

However, he did not fear it. Instead, his battle intent was ignited!

Qi Zhan lifted his head and howled into the skies.

“Battle Blood Burns the Sky!”

A reddish glow was emitted in the blink of an eye, looking very much like a dark-red roaring flame. He was activating the Battle Imperial Sutra‘s forbidden chapter to strengthen himself via an invincible battle intent!

The dark-red glow shimmered with boundless battle intent before gathering inside his body, and his aura surged again.

“Kill!”

Qi Zhan stood up. His golden glow had morphed into a dark-red light as his battle intent surged forth like a massive wave about to wipe out the entire area.

He was like a peerless god of battle, pitting himself against the tribulation lightning.

Every single strike could smash a tribulation lightning beast!

Nonetheless, the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was not to be underestimated. 36 tribulation lightning attacks all at once—even a Great Sage would have to give their all to hold themselves against that!

Qi Zhan was struck by lightning, which caused his divine aura to vibrate intensely. If not for the protection of his Battle Divine Armor, he might have suffered grievous injury. Luckily, Qi Zhan managed to defend against everything.

After he destroyed the final tribulation lightning, endless lightning surged into his body, greatly increasing his cultivation level.

One Tribulation Sage!

Two Tribulation Sage!

Three Tribulation Sage!

After overcoming the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Qi Zhan’s cultivation level reached the status of a Three Tribulation Sage!

The Heavenly Tribulation clouds finally dispersed, and all was bright and clear again.

Qi Zhan descended from the skies and stood before the two.

“Thank you, Boss! It’s all thanks to your invincible pill that I achieved this!”

He cupped his fists together in gratitude. His eyes were full of respect and joy. If not for the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, he would not have undergone tribulation to become a Sage so quickly. Not to mention overcoming three Heavenly Tribulations at once to become a Three Tribulation Sage.

This was something beyond imagination, but one heaven-defying, destiny-changing pill made it possible!

Qi Zhan was shocked to the core.

He had been a peak Demon Venerable for many years and already possessed a very solid foundation, but the Sky-Mending Pill’s effects were clear. It was indeed a peerless Thearch-level pill.

...

“You are welcome.”

Shen Tian nodded, feeling very satisfied.

Qi Zhan’s powers had been greatly enhanced, and this was a good thing for him.

Qi Zhan was a goose who laid golden eggs for him, after all. As such, the fatter he was, the better!

Shen Tian’s attention was more focused on the potency of this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. This batch of Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills was even more potent than the previous one.

The previous batch could only help a Sage undergo two Heavenly Tribulations consecutively. Yet, this batch managed to help Qi Zhan undergo three Heavenly Tribulations.

It looked like the price of this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill would increase greatly!

...

The Sacred Battle Thearch was extremely shocked by Qi Zhan’s breakthrough success.

He realized that not only had Qi Zhan’s cultivation level increased, but his foundation and innate talent had also been enhanced.

This was unbelievable!

Just one pill could produce such results?

Mind-blowing!

The Sacred Battle Thearch’s eyes shone as he focused on the remaining Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills. He couldn’t help feeling tempted.

This grade of pill was unprecedented. It made him very interested.

The main reason, however, was because it was just too fragrant, far more fragrant than the Immortal Banana Herb. This was the kind of fragrance that apes loved the most!

The Sacred Battle Thearch spoke up. “Child, don’t forget my contribution to your success!”

If the Sacred Battle Thearch hadn’t trained Qi Zhan so hard over that period of time, he might not have been able to survive the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Qi Zhan hurriedly nodded. “Thank you, ancestor, for your guidance over this period!”

It was true that Qi Zhan might not have been able to overcome the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation if he hadn’t mastered the Battle Blood Burns the Sky.

The Sacred Battle Thearch nodded in satisfaction before asking, “Is this pill really that miraculous? One pill can produce such effects? I don’t really believe it!”

Actually, the Sacred Battle Thearch was utterly convinced, but he was just trying to wrangle a pill from Shen Tian to try.

Qi Zhan replied, “Ancestor, this pill is indeed that miraculous. If not for this peerless pill, I might not have been able to undergo three Heavenly Tribulations consecutively!”

Qi Zhan had no idea what the Sacred Battle Thearch was really thinking. As a result, he quickly explained after hearing his query.

The Sacred Battle Thearch snorted. “I don’t believe it. Unless you let me try it!”

Shen Tian, “...”

Qi Zhan, “...”

The two of them exchanged looks. They finally understood the Sacred Battle Thearch’s intention.

So he wanted to get a free pill!

Qi Zhan looked rather awkward. He kept silent.

No choice. This was too embarrassing!

Ancestor, you are a major Thearch, but you are trying to trick a junior into giving you a pill for free? Is this really appropriate!?

Shen Tian raised his brows as he teased. “Senior Thearch, aren’t you a divine consciousness? Will a pill be effective on you?”

Upon realizing that his act had been seen through, a sliver of embarrassment flashed across the Sacred Battle Thearch’s arrogant demeanor.

“Ahem, I might be a divine consciousness, but I can still feel the effects of pills!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch couldn’t possibly just admit that this Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill was just too fragrant, and he was greedy for a taste, right?

It would be a great loss of face to him!

Qi Zhan couldn’t help holding his own forehead. He groaned inwardly.

Ancestor, if you want to trick someone, you should at least find a better excuse!

Do you really think we are just three-year-old children? That we are so naive?

When has a pill ever been effective on a divine consciousness!?

...

Shen Tian shook his head. “Senior, you can have one if you want. One Immortal Banana Herb in exchange for one Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. Senior, you should still have some in your stock, right?”

Shen Tian had given a Sky-Mending Pill to Qi Zhan because he could leverage off his providence.

This old fellow had no providence to leverage off, however.

Want a free pill? Dream on!

...

The Sacred Battle Thearch was stunned. “You are such a punk. I was the one who gave you the ingredients for those pills in the first place. And you are asking me for another banana now?”

Shen Tian smiled. “Senior Thearch, I used my Immortal Peach Herb to exchange for those ingredients. Don’t you want the peach anymore? Are you prepared to return it to me?”

“Fine, you win!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch snorted, but he had no choice. He had his pride and couldn’t keep on haggling with a junior.

“Give me three pills then!”

Left with no choice, the Sacred Battle Thearch offered the last of his fortune stash. He took out another three Immortal Banana Herbs.

Shen Tian’s smile widened as he handed three Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills to the Sacred Battle Thearch.

This transaction was a big win for him. After all, he had only used three Immortal Banana Herbs and a bunch of Sage herbs to refine 36 Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.

Now, he was using three Sky-Mending Pills to exchange for another three Thearch herbs.

It was a big win indeed!

As for the Sage herbs, Shen Tian was not worried at all. He had a nearly inexhaustible quantity of them in his storage ring.

The Sacred Battle Thearch couldn’t help taking a deep breath after receiving the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills. He immediately looked transfixed.

This fragrance was just too bewitching to an ape.

Even though he was just a divine consciousness, the Sacred Battle Thearch couldn’t wait to taste it.

Gulp!

The moment the first Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill entered the Sacred Battle Thearch’s stomach, he radiated with a dazzling divine light.

Apart from the miraculous avatar, nothing else happened.

The Sacred Battle Thearch’s eyes were crossed as he remained immersed in the delicious taste of the Sky-Mending Pill.

“Not bad, not bad. Delicious! This thing is even more delicious than a ripe banana!”

After a while, he snapped out of his trance and licked his lips. He was not yet satiated, but he didn’t consume the rest of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.

This peerless pill had remarkable effects but was truly useless to him. He would be a disgrace if he ate it just to satisfy his greed.

...

The Sacred Battle Thearch handed the remaining two Sky-Mending Pills to Qi Zhan. “Child, take these back with you. Perhaps they can help our race gain two more Sacred Battle Apes!”

This grade of pill could enhance one’s foundation and innate talent. The Golden Eyed Fire Ape race had many powerful practitioners who were just one step away from awakening the bloodline of a Sacred Battle Ape. Thus, if they could get these Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills and improve their bloodline, they might be able to evolve into Sacred Battle Apes.

It should be pointed out that theirs was an indomitable bloodline created by natural forces. They were extremely powerful.

Qi Zhan was very moved. “Yes, ancestor!”

He had personally experienced the miraculous effects of the Sky-Mending Pill. It could definitely help his race evolve.

By then, the golden age of the Golden Eyed Fire Apes would arrive.

One race, three Sacred Battle Apes. Unprecedented!

His gratitude for the Sacred Battle Thearch intensified!

He was indeed his ancestor. He was still thinking about the good of the race!

But of course, Boss is the one I feel the most gratitude for!

If he had not refined this peerless pill, how would my race rise again?

Boss, you are even more awesome than my own ancestor!

...

The Sacred Battle Thearch had no idea what Qi Zhan was thinking.

If he knew, he might have smacked Qi Zhan to death!

This useless descendant. I dug out my entire fortune to exchange for the Sky-Mending Pills, but my contribution is still less than your Boss?

It is the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race’s misfortune to have such a useless monkey like you!

...

The Sacred Battle Thearch glanced at the sky and crossed his hands behind his back. “I have already imparted my whole legacy to you. It is time for you to leave!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch was sending off these two. His treasure stash was empty now, while his final Immortal Banana Herb had been used to exchange for the Sky-Mending Pills. He was completely cleaned out now, so there was nothing more he could give.

Moreover, these two punks had no need for his guidance.

One was an abnormally talented freak. He had learned the full Battle Imperial Sutra in just three days, shocking even the Thearch.

It was mind-blowing. Even the Sacred Battle Thearch himself could not have done that.

The other was a Sacred Battle Ape.

Sacred Battle Apes had always pursued the way of the battle. There was no need for much guidance.

The Sacred Battle Thearch had already helped Qi Zhan find his goal. If he offered too much guidance, it might even end up being too restrictive and hinder Qi Zhan’s growth. It was better to let him find his own way from there on!

The five regions would be Qi Zhan’s battleground from now on.

Sacred Battle Apes had always been that way. This was the only method to maximize the power of this bloodline.

“Thank you, Senior Thearch!”

“Thank you, ancestor!”

Shen Tian and Qi Zhan spoke in unison as they cupped their fists in gratitude. They had been here nearly two months now, and it was indeed time to leave.

The Sacred Battle Thearch had been a major Thearch 180,000 years ago. He had imparted his legacy to them, and it was only right to thank him.

“Go on!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch waved, indicating that the two of them could leave now.

Unexpectedly, a conflicted expression crossed his face as he watched Shen Tian’s departing profile.

The Sacred Battle Thearch’s lips moved slightly as he sent a voice transmission to Qi Zhan. “Child, in the future, try to get closer to your Boss. It doesn’t matter even if you become a bootlicker!”

Qi Zhan, “???”

He was taken aback while the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

“Ancestor, didn’t you say earlier that you despised me looking up to Boss? Why have you changed your tune so quickly?”

The Sacred Battle Thearch reddened as he replied awkwardly, “Just take my advice! In the future, if the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race encounters any danger, he might be able to save our entire race!”

The Sacred Battle Thearch’s eyes turned even more profound. He felt that Shen Tian was just too mysterious. So mysterious that even he could not see through him!

Let’s not talk about that mind-blowing talent and battle prowess first. Just his ability to refine such a peerless pill is enough to shock the world. There’s no harm at all establishing close ties with such a prodigy.

The Thearch’s words stunned Qi Zhan.

Didn’t realize that my ancestor has such a high opinion of Boss.

But even if Ancestor didn’t tell me this, I had already decided to follow Boss wherever he goes!

Boss is just too nice to me!

“Ancestor, I got it!” Qi Zhan replied as he followed Shen Tian.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them left the Sacred Battle Abode and flew back to the outside world.

As he watched the two depart, the Sacred Battle Thearch couldn’t help sighing to himself. “This generation produced such a freakishly powerful practitioner... I wonder if it will be a boon or a bane to the five regions.”

The Sacred Battle Thearch’s image gradually faded away, and the Sacred Battle Abode became completely hidden in the deep sea.

...

Meanwhile, Shen Tian and Qi Zhan had left the deep sea and reached the skies above East Sea.

Qi Zhan scratched his head. “Boss, where should we go now?”

Shen Tian nodded. “Let’s return to Jixia Academy first.”

Anyway, they had already gotten the fortuitous opportunity. There was no need to linger outside.

It was not that safe out here. The Evil Spirit Sect was lurking around, so it was better to return to Jixia Academy and continue developing his skills.

Jixia Academy had bountiful resources for cultivation and plenty of fellow practitioners with juicy providence. Shen Tian wanted to make good use of this opportunity to leverage off a few more fortuitous opportunities and bring his own providence halo to purple color. This was the most important goal of all!

Having made that decision, the two of them flew toward the nearest city without further hesitation. They wanted to make use of the teleportation circle to hurry back to Jixia Academy.

...

Meanwhile, Jixia Academy was already in a furor.

Everyone in the Human Compound and Demon Compound was discussing the same thing.

“Have you heard?”

“The East Sea City battle results have come back. Our Senior Brother Qi Zhan single-handedly thrashed a Five Tribulation True Spirit from the Evil Spirit Sect.”

“And he endured hundreds of attacks by the Seven Tribulation Great Sage Evil Fire. He managed to hold his own!”

“He is indeed the top student of the Demon Compound. He is so powerful!”

The senior students of the Demon Compound were very excited.

However, the Human Compound prodigies shouted over. “So what?”

“Our top student was also there!”

“The Divine Firmament Saint is invincible. He made nine clones of himself.”

“Every single clone possessed a pseudo-Immortal artifact, and he defeated the Great Sage in just one move!”

...

It was clear that news of the East Sea City incident had spread!

However, these rumors sounded very exaggerated.

They were even bordering on the ridiculous!
