Chapter 154: Tian‘er Must Stay

After the transmission ended, the Sacred Leader stood tall and upright in the palace. The lightning and heavenly aura surged throughout the whole palace, while the 10 totem pillars that were carved with divine beasts and emitting lightning trembled slightly.

Boom!

Suddenly, the divine beasts' avatars appeared on the totem pillars and entered the Sacred Leader's body.

The old Taoist priest pursed his lips upon seeing how anxious the Sacred Leader was.

"Junior Brother, what are you so nervous about?" He said in a bantering manner, "Didn't you say that Shen Tian is the Son of Providence, blessed by the heavens, so there definitely won't be any accidents?"

The Sacred Leader had once resolutely told Azure Lotus that some people were blessed with providence, and they were born to be adored by the Heavenly Dao. He had also said that even if those people encountered dangers when they traveled outside, they would definitely get out of the jaws of danger or even kill their enemies instead and obtain huge benefits.

From the Sacred Leader's point of view, Shen Tian was such a person. Thus, was there a need for the Sacred Leader to be this worried now?

The Sacred Leader looked at Azure Lotus as if he was looking at an idiot upon hearing his question.

"Senior Brother, it can't be that you're so dumb to really think I'm going there to save Tian'er, right?"

Azure Lotus was stunned. "Or else, why are you so nervous for?"

The Sacred Leader said coldly, "Senior Brother, you should read more books! Learn and study from good books!"

Azure Lotus flew into a rage out of shame. "Zhang Longyuan, I've tolerated you for too long. You're humiliating me again! Didn't you say that that kid wouldn't encounter dangers? So why are you panicking this much when the kid goes missing this time?

"Haha, I acknowledge that this kid is quite smart as he was actually able to create the Yin-Yang Lightning Talisman. However, he is cultivating the Tinder Sutra, meaning his luck will definitely deteriorate!

"You see? This time everyone was safe except him, just he alone went missing!"

The Sacred Leader replied coldly, "Dumb. I've never thought that Tian'er disappearing this time is something bad. If you had carefully looked through the life story of 1,000 people blessed by providence, Senior Brother, then you would discover that the bigger the disaster, the larger the opportunity!

"It would be a catastrophe for normal unlucky people, but those blessed by providence are different!

"They will unexpectedly encounter fortuitous opportunities, such as Sages battling and causing destruction to common people, but in the end, they die together only for their inheritance to be picked up by providence-blessed individuals.

"Or such as an unmatched genius that spent all the energy he had, undergoing nirvana to improve to a higher grade bloodline, but was subdued by providence-blessed individuals during their weakest period.

"Or some chaste Saintess that was injured by evil demons, thus being infected with aphrodisiac poison. She would meet some providence-blessed individual and spend a night with him.

"These events seem to be nonsensical or illogical, but they are true legendary experiences.

"Do you really think that in this Fog Plain event, Tian'er was the only one that went missing because he is unlucky?

"You're wrong! My dumb Senior Brother, this precisely proves that he is blessed by providence!

"I can guarantee that currently, Tian'er must have definitely encountered a fortuitous opportunity!"

Azure Lotus was astounded upon realizing how convinced the Sacred Leader was.

"What did you say? You say that the reason this kid has gone missing is that he has encountered a fortuitous opportunity? Do you think I'm dumb? If he can encounter a fortuitous opportunity, I'll be—"

As if recalling something, Azure Lotus forcibly stopped himself.

The Sacred Leader said coldly, "You think you're not dumb? Senior Brother, I'm begging you to count.

"Please, read more books in the future. Actually, the reason why I'm heading to the Fog City this time is to back him up!

"Ever since Tian'er entered our sect, he has helped us find the 'Decalamity' and helped us create the Yin-Yang Water Inverse Divine Lightning. He has also contributed so much to our sect, but our sect has yet to give him much or help him in return. His sense of belonging is not enough.

"Thus, this time, Tian'er's disappearance is a rare chance to let him feel the warmth of the sacred ground. I must let Tian'er know that our sacred ground values him and make him feel closer to the sacred ground.

"Even if he does not encounter any danger by going missing this time, I have to let him see our sacred ground's attitude!

"Tian'er is the Saint, so our sacred ground will definitely protect him no matter what, even if the world is our enemy!"

After finishing, the Sacred Leader tore open space and instantly formed a void portal.

Azure Lotus twitched his mouth. "I just don't believe that this kid is really blessed by providence in such a weird way. Everything was coincidental previously. How is it possible for someone blessed by providence to cultivate the Tinder Sutra? This time, I'll go with you to Fog City."

The Sacred Leader stepped into the void portal, and Azure Lotus followed tightly behind.

Light and shadows moved rapidly in front of their eyes as they traveled 5,000 kilometers through mountains and rivers.

A special locating array formation was carved on the Saint and Saintess Tokens to detect their positions. Shen Tian's Saint Token was within the area enshrouded by the spirit fog, so it was concealed and could not be detected.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunxi was already outside the Spirit Fog. Thus, the Sacred Leader could sense the Saintess Token, set the spatial node beside the Saintess Token, and travel through space.

…

Zhang Zunxi was floating above Fog City. She had completely relaxed after communicating with the Sacred Leader. Her father was an absolute legend, in her heart so as long as he came, nothing was a problem.

Junior Brother, no matter where you are now, you must endure!

The space gradually twisted, and a bright space portal appeared in front of her.

At that moment, the phenomenon of lightning surging for hundreds of thousands of meters between heaven and earth appeared, and lightning struck from the originally clear sky.

There were not one bit of black clouds, but lightning could be seen in the sky, releasing endless domineering aura.

The avatars of the divine beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Crimson Phoenix, Black Tortoise, Mighty Qilin, Soaring Snake, Heaven Emperor, Cosmos, and Heaven Empress—gradually appeared.

Each divine beast avatar was hundreds of meters tall as if they were really invincible divine beasts that had descended from the heavens.

That's right, that was the power of a person in the Saint realm, the means of the peerless Sacred Leader of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Zhang Longyuan!

Behind the space portal, a stalwart figure gradually appeared, surrounded by lightning. There seemed to be endless heavenly aura floating and sinking around him as if he was really a Perfected Immortal from the heavens.

That person was none other than the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. He looked at Zhang Yunxi coldly. "Yunxi, tell me what happened in detail."

Zhang Yunxi nodded and recounted to the Sacred Leader, everything that had happened in the Fog Plain these few days.

He learned that Shen Tian had casually helped give directions to people in Fog Town that allowed them to obtain precious fortuitous opportunities.

Azure Lotus's eyes instantly turned green!

What heavenly skill is that!? Junior Brother, I'm wrong, I'm really wrong! Just what did I miss!?

Meanwhile, the Sacred Leader seemed calm and collected, but he had secretly confirmed his thoughts in his heart.

That's right! Tian'er's definitely the Son of Providence. No, he's definitely the Son of the Heavenly Dao!

He's actually freaking divining the future for people! Everyone else takes it as a forbidden art or mystic technique for predicting the future! Yet you're using such a supreme mystic technique so frequently to help people find Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemum and Fog Herbs?

Such a statement could only fool those inexperienced! I can confirm that he definitely guessed using his luck!

Previously in the Myriad Spirit Garden, he used his luck to guess the Spirit Ores. Now, he can help people find treasures by just randomly pointing a direction in the Fog Plain.

My judgment is definitely correct. Tian'er is definitely the rare person with the ultimate blessing by providence.

What Purple Mansion Sacred Ground Saint, Qi Shaoxuan? He's nothing before Tian'er!

As long as Tian'er stays in the sacred ground, our sacred ground's rise will become a reality in the near future!
