Chapter 280: Man Should Be Big!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As everyone knew, the Golden Core was the manifestation of all the cultivation techniques that the cultivator had learned.
The more powerful and profound the cultivator’s cultivation technique, the stronger the Divine Emblem carved during the Golden Core stage would be.
Normally, Divine Firmant’s core disciples cultivating the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique would be able to reach Golden Core Third Refinent Stage and above.
Logically speaking, Shen Tian should not be worse than Zhang Yunxi as he successfully ford his Golden Core with a perfected stage of Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique and had all Five Elents of Yin and Yang.
However, Shen Tian never expected that there was not one Divine Emblem on the Golden Core floating above his head.
That’s right, no matter how he rubbed his eyes repeatedly, he definitely did not see wrongly.
There were indeed no Divine Emblems on that Golden Core floating above Shen Tian’s head.
However, that did not an Shen Tian’s Golden Core was very ordinary. On the contrary, his Golden Core was not normal at all.
It’s... it’s even quite astounding.
For the past 10,000 years, all five regions’ cultivators’ Golden Cores were the size of a longan.
No matter how extraordinary one’s Golden Core was, it would only differ in the extraordinary phenonon surrounding the Golden Core and the Divine Emblem, and the size would not change.
However, Shen Tian discovered that his Golden Core was actually as large as an apple and was more than 10 tis larger than the supposedly normal Golden Core.
This Golden Core was shining brightly throughout with golden light. There was no Divine Emblem carved on it, but instead, lightning enveloped it.
Lightning constantly jumped around Shen Tian’s Golden Core and emitted a formidable aura.
That made Shen Tian’s Golden Core seem a little like a ball of lightning.
...
Shen Tian’s mouth twitched as he looked at the golden lightning ball jumping on his head.
This thing can also be called a Golden Core? Whose Golden Core would be this big?
Eat the Golden Core, and I am now the master of my own fate?
Yes, there’s nothing wrong with those words, but if I have to swallow such a big Golden Core, I might really choke to death!
Shen Tian stretched out his hand to touch his big Golden Core.
He discovered that the Mixed Divine Lightning surrounding his Golden Core’s surface would not harm him at all. Instead, he felt very comfortable touching it.
Fortunately, although he definitely would not be able to swallow it under normal circumstances as the Golden Core was as big as an apple, it could directly enter Shen Tian’s dantian without needing to swallow it.
It’s just that Shen Tian felt that his dantian was a little bloated, and he had the feeling that once he exerted a little bit of his strength, it might co out.
Ye Qingcang comforted Shen Tian with a smile as if he was laughing at Shen Tian’s predicant. “Tian’er, there’s no need to worry.
“This type of Golden Core should belong to the mutated kind. It may be rare in the mortal world, but it’s quite common in the Celestial World.
“It’s just that your Golden Core is a little bigger. Given enough power, you can make a brick fly. A man should be big!
“The largest trait of Golden Core stage is that you can use your Golden Core to form a protective realm, as well as increase the power of your Dharmic techniques.
“The number of Divine Emblems on the Golden Core is only a form of expression. The most important factor is how much it enhances your battle strength.
“So, try out its power!”
Although Ye Qingcang’s comfort was very halfhearted, it was better than no one comforting him.
Shen Tian sighed and took out his big Golden Core again to explore how to use it.
Golden Core cultivators could be distinguished by their Golden Core Restriction Realm, where one could create a rough nomological realm.
Although the nomological realm was a completely different concept from a Sage’s nomological realm, it was an important start.
Shen Tian concentrated and started to sense the change.
Shortly after, the air within a radius of tens of feet around Shen Tian as the center obviously changed.
Golden lightning ford in the air, which looked extrely elegant. Even figures of divine beasts flying could be vaguely seen.
Shen Tian stood within coldly as if he was the god controlling lightning.
Jiu’er was beside him, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Shen Tian’s majestic and extraordinary appearance.
“Master is so amazing! This sense of oppression from the lightning realm is so powerful!”
Shen Tian spent a total of seven days refining the relic to his Golden Core.
Jiu’er was also busy in these seven days as she had an astonishing fortuitous opportunity.
Previously at the Netherworld Yellow Springs domain, Ye Qingcang had promised to give Jiu’er a fortuitous opportunity, and now he fulfilled his promise.
He plucked a petal from the Hurricane Lily King and fused it into the female ghost before teaching her the Dark Yin Ghost Sutra.
Jiu’er was originally a pure Yin woman with a special constitution and was much more suitable to cultivate the Dark Yin technique.
The Hurricane Lilies’ power was a huge fortuitous opportunity that ca once in a blue moon to ghost cultivators.
In these seven days, Jiu’er had started cultivating the Dark Yin Ghost Sutra and completely absorbed the Hurricane Lily King petal’s power.
Not only did her cultivation level increase by leaps and bounds, directly breaking through to the peak of Golden Core, but her originally normal ghost constitution was also converted to a special constitution.
She had inherited a portion of Hurricane Lily’s abilities and could transform her body between the states of Yin and Yang, soul and substance.
Not only did her strength increase greatly, but her appearance, figure, and temperant also beca more alluring.
Just a look or a smile of hers was enough to let others be smitten with her.
According to Ye Qingcang, if she was in the Celestial World, the Ghost race’s prodigies would go crazy for her.
Tsk, tsk, she’s too good for you, such a sha!
...
“Adjust the protective array to the second level and attack .”
Shen Tian controlled the Saint Token and started summoning the Saint Mountain’s lightning to attack him.
He wanted to test just how powerful his Golden Core Restriction Realm was in terms of protecting him. Currently, there was no one on the Saint Mountain, so it was best to use this protective array to test it out.
The second mode of the Saint Mountain’s protective array was equal to attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators and could stop most intruders from entering the Saint Mountain.
Currently, Shen Tian activated the protective array to attack him. In an instant, all kinds of Divine Lightning gathered and was struck toward Shen Tian.
I Divine Lightning (Wood), II Divine Lightning (Wood), III Divine Lightning (Fire), IV Divine Lightning (Fire)...
Lightning of all colors struck Shen Tian—those were attacks that could be compared to Nascent Soul cultivators’ attacks.
Jiu’er had long dodged to one side. Although she was already able to fight against Nascent Soul cultivators thanks to her constitution and cultivation level, the protective array’s attacks were definitely quite strong even among Nascent Soul Supremacies. At the sa ti, the lightning attribute was ghost cultivators’ weakness.
Jiu’er had only just absorbed a portion of the Hurricane Lily’s strength, so she was not familiar with it yet. Thus, she did not dare face such an array formation.
“Golden Core Restriction Realm, activate!”
Shen Tian made a hand seal, and his as-big-as-an-apple Golden Core shone brightly.
In the tens of feet of the area around Shen Tian with him as the center, a golden lightning sea was instantly ford. It contained endless fearso lightning.
The Five Elents Divine Lightning released by the protective array could not even form a crack on Shen Tian’s Golden Core Restriction Realm.
Not only so, but it was instead completely devoured by Shen Tian’s Golden Core Restriction Realm, enhancing the lightning within Shen Tian’s Golden Core Restriction Realm.
Ye Qingcang nodded. “Looks like the power of your big Golden Core now is quite extraordinary. The strength of your realm could be compared to at least that of the Sixth Refinent Stage.
“Also, your realm has Mixed Divine Lightning, so it can completely counter lightning-attribute cultivators, evil cultivators, or ghost cultivators.”
Shen Tian could also sense how powerful his Golden Core was, so he was not that depressed anymore.
A cultivator’s divine consciousness would increase greatly after they just broke through to Golden Core, so one’s enlightennt would increase substantially.
After sensing the change within him, Shen Tian wanted to start cultivating mystic arts after a short rest.
Well, there were just too many heritages for him to learn.
Just the heritages from the imperial sutras alone were the True Dragon Imperial Sutra, Tinder God of War Sutra, Divine Firmant Lightning Imperial Sutra, Rainbow Divine Light, and so on.
Now that he finally could have a temporary increase in IQ, Shen Tian decided that he would cultivate all those heritages seriously.
Just nice, he had offended the evil sect’s Lifeless King, so he did not plan to go out soon.
Sigh... I am really too good at keeping a low profile.
...
Just when Shen Tian was in seclusion within the Saint Mountain, the Divine Firmant Sacred Ground was in turmoil.
That was because there was soone who challenged them!
That’s right, soone had co to the sacred ground to challenge them.
It was The Purple Mansion Saint, Qi Shaoxuan, a man who was said to have the potential of a Thearch.
So ti ago, he had won against all his peers from Eastern Wilderness’ various major sacred grounds.
Before him, almost no one could last for ten strikes, and even the best was defeated after trying one’s utmost best to the 12th strike.
Even a certain sacred ground’s previous Nascent Soul Saint had suffered a crushing defeat after fighting Qi Shaoxuan, a Golden Core cultivator.
He was invincible with Heaven’s Halberd no matter who the opponent was—that was Qi Shaoxuan!
If before Qi Shaoxuan started challenging prodigies, many people still doubted Qi Shaoxuan’s strength as they thought he was purely lucky, then now no one would dare to be unconvinced of his status as Eastern Wilderness’ strongest prodigy now!
anwhile, after almost beating all the prodigies in Eastern Wilderness, he fixed his target toward Divine Firmant.
Three days ago, the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground had sent a declaration of war to the Divine Firmant Small World.
Qi Shaoxuan said in the declaration of war that he wanted to experience the strength of the Divine Firmant Sacred Ground’s four geniuses.
That was to say, he wanted to battle with Shen Tian, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunxi alone—his arrogance shook the whole Eastern Wilderness.
In an instant, the whole Eastern Wilderness’ attention focused on this challenge. Thus, countless gambling bets had also been placed.
So firmly believed that Qi Shaoxuan would continue his undefeated legend, then achieve Nascent Soul with the perfected Tenth Refinent Stage.
However, even more people thought that even though Qi Shaoxuan was the strongest, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunxi were outstanding talents among the Golden Core List’s top ten.
If Qi Shaoxuan were to fight one-vs-one, he would naturally win without a doubt. However, there was suspense now that it was one-vs-three.
Not to ntion besides Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, and Fang Chang, there was still the mysterious Divine Firmant Saint.
The new Divine Firmant Saint, Shen Tian, had only beco famous in the recent few months and could not be compared to how Fang Chang and others’ reputation was deeply rooted. However, just the fact that he could beat Fang Chang and Zhang Yunting to beco the Saint was enough for no one to dare to ignore his existence.
At the sa ti, legendary stories regarding the Divine Firmant Saint were also being spread in the black market.
These confidential pieces of information, which were said to be “revealed by the insiders of the Divine Firmant Sacred Ground”, were more exaggerated and outrageous than the last.
Such as the Divine Firmant Saint had the most handso appearance and most extraordinary temperant. Everything would rejuvenate wherever he went. Not only would withered flowers bloom again, but even a young girl’s heart would also be stolen.
Such as the Divine Firmant Saint had once casually picked 10 ores in a certain Spirit Ore Garden, and... seven of them contained extraordinary items, two had Immortal artifacts, and one of them was the Divine Firmant Sacred Ground’s Divine Firmant Drager Pendant.
Such as the Divine Firmant Saint had once entered the Fog Plain’s depths alone and killed the Vine Demon, which was one step away from the Sage stage, by himself, saving countless people.
Such as the Divine Firmant Saint had passed all nine floors of the peerless godly artifact God of War Pagoda in the Primordial Battlefield and was evaluated as the only supre Nine-Star Prodigy. Thus, he had been recognized by the God of War Pagoda as its master, and the God of War Pagoda had settled down in Divine Firmant.
Such as the Divine Firmant Saint had the talents of a Thearch and nine Divine Emblems right after he had broken through to the Golden Core stage!
...
Anyway, there were all kinds of rumors, no matter how ridiculous, and it was unknown how many people had added highly-colored details to the rumors in the process of spreading them.
anwhile, due to the bombardnt of such an imnse amount of unreliable rumors, Shen Tian also beca quite well-known in the Eastern Wilderness.
Although few people believed in the rumors, there was definitely a reason for such groundless rumors to have ford.
Since the Divine Firmant Saint was this powerful in the rumors, he must definitely have so skill since no one would spread such rumors about a good-for-nothing.
As such, countless people were anticipating the confrontation between the Purple Mansion and Divine Firmant prodigies.
Three days passed quickly.
Qi Shaoxuan did not let them wait too long as the fierce and impressive black dragon chariot arrived at Divine Firmant Sacred Ground.
A new storm was about to engulf Divine Firmant!
The whole Eastern Wilderness’ geniuses and mighty figures were all paying attention to the confrontation between the two major sacred grounds.
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunxi sat cross-legged under the Saint Mountain. They were silently adjusting their condition in preparation for the challenge.
anwhile, Shen Tian was currently enjoying the rare tranquil life. He was using the Nirvana Holy Liquid to... bathe.
Of course, considering that he did not have much Nirvana Holy Liquid left, Shen Tian did not waste too much. He had diluted the Nirvana Holy Liquid; half of it was water.
He could originally only bathe once in it. But now, he could bathe twice with the holy liquid, and still feel relaxed and refreshed.
He sensed that his physical body was growing stronger under the nourishnt of the Nirvana Holy Liquid.
Shen Tian could not help but smile.
I’m really too ingenious!
There are not many n as thrifty as in the world!
