Chapter 498: Situation At Immortal Mountain, All Prodigies Set Forth!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


All the prodigies were completely dumbstruck by the Apotheosis Platform battle.


It was difficult for them to believe that someone was able to defeat them all.


This level of battle prowess was mind-boggling.


It had surpassed everything they had ever known. It was unprecedented and second to none.


For a moment there, countless prodigies were shocked to the core and feeling rather woeful.


...


But then those defeated top prodigies started to have some doubts.


They realized that Shen Tian had displayed multiple invincible techniques during the battle.


Those invincible techniques were very similar to those peerless legacies they had been practicing.


And more importantly, Shen Tian’s understanding of those invincible techniques had already reached peak levels.


The corners of the lips of those prodigies twitched at that thought.


Who the hell would be able to learn so many invincible techniques all at once? And able to gain an understanding of every single technique that was deeper than anyone else?


Even Wang Xuzi, who had the Connate Constitution, was unable to do that!


There must be some secret. This guy must have some trade secret!


...


Sheng Yangxu couldn’t resist his curiosity. “Brother Shen’s power is out-of-this-world. I am in awe of you. I wonder, where did you learn that void technique?”


Sheng Yangxu was shaken to the core. He did not have the slightest bit of advantage when fighting with Shen Tian just now.


On the contrary, Shen Tian had managed to locate his position multiple times, and he had suffered dearly because of that.


As a result, Sheng Yangxu was full of doubts.


Maybe Brother Shen is a secret ancestor from my sacred ground? That is the only possible reason he can be that proficient in the void technique.


Sheng Yangxu was not alone. The other prodigies were also filled with this type of doubt.


A single person possessing nearly 100 different Dao techniques? It was outrageous!


Shen Tian smiled. “I happened to find some ancient legacy which listed all sorts of techniques.”


After all, the Evil Spirit race had not invaded just once or twice. Many peerless techniques had been lost during those battles.


As a result, many of the techniques which those prodigies practiced were incomplete.


However, Shen Tian understood the supreme techniques left behind by the 108 Primordial Heavenly Generals, practicing them to the highest levels.


As a result, it was only natural that these people’s techniques were not as good as Shen Tian’s.


Sheng Yangxu’s eyes were filled with envy. “Brother Shen does have awesome providence to be able to gain such a fortuitous opportunity!


“But legacy alone is useless. You still need to rely on your ability to decipher.


“It is only because Brother Shen has such a high level of innate talent that he is able to decipher all that!”


The crowd nodded in agreement. They were utterly convinced of Shen Tian’s abilities.


Someone sighed. “It is my honor to witness Brother Shen’s great abilities today.”


Shen Tian smiled modestly. “My friends, it is fate that we met today. Why don’t we sit down for a cup of tea and have a discussion about the Dao?”


With that, Shen Tian took out a big pot and started to brew Enlightenment tea.


These prodigies were all Children of Providence. Naturally, he had to establish good ties with them.


He might be able to use them to improve his providence in the future.


...


Shen Tian’s invitation shocked the crowd.


They had just sparred with Shen Tian and knew how knowledgeable he was about the Dao.


A discussion? It was more like Shen Tian offering them advice.


After all, given Shen Tian’s abilities, there was no need for him to discuss anything with them.


Many people were very excited and thrilled.


Still, some of them felt rather embarrassed. “We are honored that Brother Shen is willing to discuss the Dao with us.


“But there is no need for Brother Shen to trouble himself to make us tea. We can do this little chore.”


Several prodigies walked over. They were well-versed in the making of tea and had Sage tea leaves in their possession.


These people volunteered themselves, wanting to show off a little.


...


Shen Tian had already taken out several purple-colored and silver-colored Enlightenment tea leaves and placed them into the pot.


Those prodigies were instantly dumbstruck by the strong aura radiating from those leaves.


“This is the... Enlightenment tea!?”


Those prodigies were stunned. They never expected Shen Tian to be brewing Enlightenment tea for them.


This tea was just too valuable.


Enlightenment tea was very rare and very precious.


Even the ancestors and elders of these prodigies might not have tea of this grade.


However, Shen Tian had just dug out a large handful of these precious Enlightenment tea leaves and tossed them into the pot, preparing to brew tea for them.


What the hell!? Is this guy’s family really that rich!?


Those prodigies’ faces flushed, and they hastily shoved their own Sage tea leaves back into their pockets.


In front of the Enlightenment tea leaves, their own Sage leaves were like garbage. Not worth showing at all.


...


Already familiar with the process of tea-making, Shen Tian soon brewed up a pot of Enlightenment tea.


The strong fragrance of tea wafted over, spreading across the region.


Mired within the fragrance was an extremely potent Dao intent. It made everyone feel clear-headed.


The crowd was startled, their eyes sparkling as they gathered in front of Shen Tian’s pot.


Many people couldn’t resist swallowing their saliva.


The Enlightenment tea was priceless. It could enhance one’s ability to gain enlightenment.


These people were the top prodigies from the various powerhouses across the five regions. They may be a very knowledgeable and well-traveled bunch, but even they couldn’t help being tempted by the sight of that Enlightenment tea.


...


Shen Tian smiled. “My friends, please come over to taste the tea and start our Dao discussion.”


Shen Tian still had a large store of Enlightenment tea leaves, so he was not stingy about them at all.


Anyway, one had to offer good-quality fertilizer in order to cultivate a strong, healthy harvest.


The prodigies got very emotional upon receiving Shen Tian’s invitation.


Not only was Shen Tian willing to have a Dao discussion with them, but he was even willing to share this precious Enlightenment tea.


His heart was just too expansive.


For a moment there, many prodigies felt very ashamed. “Brother Shen, this tea is too valuable. We feel embarrassed accepting it.”


They had wanted to gang up against Shen Tian for the sake of pride. They had failed to defeat him, but it was nonetheless against the moral principles of a fair fight.


Not only did Shen Tian not take offense, but he was now treating them to this tea. Everyone felt very ashamed.


As tempted as they were by the Enlightenment tea, they were too embarrassed to accept it.


Shen Tian smiled. “My friends, please don’t stand on ceremony. This is just some Enlightenment tea. It’s not that precious. After we finish this pot, I can brew up another.”


Sheng Yangxu smiled brilliantly. “Brother Shen, how can we accept that!”


Although he said that, his body was reacting very differently. He sped onto the Apotheosis Platform and poured a cup of tea for himself before slowly sipping it.


“Good tea, good tea!


“This tea should only exist in the heavens. How rare is it to find such a tea of this grade in this world?


“Not only is Brother Shen powerful in battle, but he also has such great tea-making skills. So admirable.”


Sheng Yangxu sighed before pouring a few more cups of Enlightenment tea, gulping them down.


At the sight of that, those prodigies finally stopped resisting. They were afraid that Sheng Yangxu would empty out the whole pot.


They stepped forward and sat around Shen Tian before starting to sip their tea.


Everyone was stunned by the sight.


Those prodigies on the periphery were filled with shock and envy.


Who could have expected this Prodigy Competition to end up being a tea-tasting ceremony?


And it was all due to Shen Tian.


At the same time, they felt a surge of envy and resentment. They also wanted to drink some Enlightenment tea!


...


As if he had detected the thoughts of those prodigies on the periphery, Shen Tian flicked his sleeves gently and distributed multiple cups of Enlightenment tea to those prodigies.


These people were also very skilled prodigies. Although not as good as Sheng Yangxu and the rest, they were also considered amongst the top practitioners of the major factions.


Anyway, he had brewed a big pot of tea, enough for everyone to have at least one cup.


And one cup was enough to produce effects. Few would be as greedy as Sheng Yangxu to have multiple cups.


The prodigies on the periphery were delighted upon receiving the Enlightenment tea.


They shouted with gratitude, “Thank you, Brother Shen!”


Shen Tian spoke seriously then. His voice was like the voice of the Heavenly Dao, booming across the skies.


He started to narrate the true essence of Dao, explaining the legacies left behind by the 108 Heavenly Generals.


At that moment, waves of profound Dao intent permeated the entire Heavenly Gate Mountain, intense and forceful.


Dao intent morphed into dots of starlight, shining upon those prodigies and shocking them to the core.


Realization dawned upon the faces of the prodigies as if they had finally resolved a challenging question that had plagued them for years.


Boosted by the Enlightenment tea, these people glowed all over as they gained new understanding.


...


Jiang Taiyi was the first to snap out of his trance. He radiated with an extremely powerful aura all over.


Lightning crackled all over his body as he exuded a mighty divine aura, much more powerful than before.


Jiang Taiyi was thrilled. He hurriedly cupped his fists in gratitude. “Thank you, Brother Shen, for your tips. I understand it now!”


He radiated a powerful lightning glow now. It was clear that he had obtained great gains from his enlightenment.


It wouldn’t be long now before he could break through!


The others also benefited greatly, making excellent progress.


As a result, the crowd was thanking Shen Tian heartily, their respect for Shen Tian growing even more intense.


Wang Xuzi frowned. He had the Connate Constitution and was already very good at understanding techniques.


Suspicion arose in his heart when he saw the effortless way Shen Tian handled the 108 techniques.


Wang Xuzi muttered to himself, “Don’t tell me he doesn’t just have the Connate Constitution? This level of talent... he probably has some even more supreme constitution.”


He had read some secret records from the Antiquity Age. He knew that there used to be some supreme constitution, and the description of that was similar to Shen Tian’s current display!


...


At that moment, the skies underwent a major transformation.


Rays of light shot out in all directions as a mighty aura erupted.


Multiple figures walked out of the void.


They were engulfed in divine light, their aura powerful beyond imagination. They were already at the Sub-Immortal level.


They were the sacred leaders of the various sacred grounds.


Everyone fell silent the moment they saw those sacred leaders, and their expressions turned serious.


The Prodigy Competition was not just a platform for the prodigies across the five regions to spar.


They were also here to deal with the Evil Spirits from outside.


The sacred leaders had gathered everyone here to discuss how to defend against the Evil Spirit race.


Upon seeing the various sacred leaders emerge, the prodigies wanted to know what happened.


...


A figure was at the forefront, his voice grave and serious. “Greeting, prodigies. I am the Great Void Sacred Leader!


“We have gathered you here today to discuss how to handle the Evil Spirit race, but we received some bad news before we came.


“A massive void tunnel has appeared in the sky above the Immortal Mountain. A great army comprising millions of Evil Spirit practitioners has surged onto the 100,000 surrounding mountains.


“Dozens of demon races were obliterated, and the remaining ones are still mired in battle. And they cannot hold on for long.


“The Evil Spirit race has launched a full-scale attack on Southern Border. Their attack is relentless, as if they want to wipe out this entire region.


“Southern Border is facing great danger and has already requested reinforcements from the five regions.”


Everyone’s expression changed upon hearing this news.


The Evil Spirit race has always been the greatest threat to the five regions. The two sides had been fighting for tens of thousands of years, with no clear victor emerging.


Now, the Evil Spirit race had made the first move to launch such a massive attack. It was beyond imagination.


Everybody’s hearts felt very heavy, especially the prodigies from the feathered races. They were very anxious.


Southern Border was their homeland. Their families and friends were all there.


Now that Southern Border was in grave danger, how could they not be anxious?


The impulsive Young Kun Peng and Huang Jiutian jumped out. “Those scum just refuse to give up their evil ways!”


“I will go back now and kill them all!”


They straightened their spines, all prepared to lead the demon prodigies back to Southern Border for war.


Sheng Yangxu and the rest quickly stopped them.


“My friend, keep calm. You won’t be able to achieve anything if you just rush back now.”


“That’s right! We must discuss a plan before taking action.”


“We cannot underestimate this battle. No false moves!”


Sheng Yangxu and the rest hurriedly tried to persuade the demon prodigies to calm down.


Since the Evil Spirit race had launched such a full-scale attack, they must definitely be well-prepared.


This was clearly a direct provocation against Southern Border. Things were not as simple as they appeared.


It should be pointed out that there were many factions in Southern Border. Not just demons but also humans, Silver Spirits, and other such powerful races.


However, even these great races had to seek help and reinforcements. It was clear just how terrifying the situation must be.


There might be many demon prodigies at present, but they would not be that effective against such a large-scale battle.


...


The Great Void Sacred Leader spoke up at that moment. “That’s right. The Evil Spirit race has been planning this for a long time.


“They have thousands of Sage practitioners as well as over 100 Sub-Immortals.


“They even have three Perfected Immortals. They have enough power to destroy an entire region.


“We need to have a good plan when providing reinforcements.”


At the current state of the five regions, there were not that many who could hold themselves against a Perfected Immortal.


Not to mention the sheer great number of Evil Spirit practitioners.


This level of danger was a lethal threat to Southern Border.


“Damn!”


Young Kun Peng thumped his chest helplessly. He hated himself deeply now. He hated himself for being born too late and for not reaching his peak level yet.


Otherwise, with his bloodline, he was destined to achieve great things. There would be no need to fear the Evil Spirit race then!


Sheng Yangxu was very anxious now. “Master, what should we do then?”


The Great Void Sacred Leader said gravely, “I don’t know if this is a ploy by the Evil Spirit race to lure us away from our stronghold.


“As a result, the top powers from the various factions cannot just move out at will. Otherwise, we might suffer fatal attacks back home.


“So we have to rely on you guys for this battle.


“You guys will be the reinforcements for this battle!”


The Great Void Sacred Leader’s eyes blazed. He was confident of those prodigies.


These prodigies had at least Sage-level battle prowess. And some of the most exceptional ones even had Sub-Immortal-level battle prowess.


These prodigies had always been very powerful.


Now that they had all grown up, it was time for them to take on the responsibility of protecting the five regions!


“Understood!”


The prodigies hollered energetically. A grave sense of purpose filled their hearts.


They were now facing a life-and-death situation. No one could stand alone now.


If they didn’t go and help Southern Border and it was destroyed, the rest of the regions would be in grave danger too.


The Great Void Sacred Leader nodded with satisfaction. “Don’t worry. The Middle Ground sacred grounds will also be joining.


“I will arrange for a Sub-Thearch elder to transport you guys there.


“In addition, there will be the elders from the Immortal Phoenix race and the Kun Peng race present. That should be enough to hold against the Evil Spirit race’s upper-level powerhouses.


“But the rest will be up to you guys!”


The five regions had a special environment, and many Sub-Immortal cultivators were able to ascend to the Celestial World.


As a result, the major factions across the five regions did not have that many elite practitioners.


These people were ancestors who had purposely stayed behind just to protect their descendants.


Still, the number of practitioners of their level could be counted on just one hand. They could not be mobilized without careful thought and planning.


They had to fend against any sudden attacks by the Evil Spirit race to avoid having Middle Ground sink into danger.


...


The crowd felt somewhat less stressed at those words.


With Sub-Thearch practitioners fighting alongside them, they had a much better chance of winning.


The Great Void Sacred Leader nodded. “This battle cannot be taken lightly. It concerns the life and death of many. You must act with discretion.


“I will request help from the Sub-Thearchs and other elders now. They will set forth for Southern Border as soon as possible.”


The Great Void Sacred Leader disappeared from sight the moment he finished his sentence.


The crowd erupted with rage and indignance.


“Those Evil Spirit brats are too arrogant!”


“Let’s go. We will kill our way through. Let them see how formidable we are!”


“I am joining!”


“Me too!”


The crowd cried out in unison. This calamity had ignited their thirst for battle. No one was backing down.


Sheng Yangxu suggested. “We definitely have to help Southern Border, but we shouldn’t just charge down in this manner.


“We need a leader to lead our group!


“The Sub-Thearch senior will need to fight against the Evil Immortal and will not have time to take care of us.”


This was no small skirmish. It was a fearsome war with millions of Evil Spirit practitioners.


Even though the prodigies at present were all very powerful and would surpass Evil Spirit practitioners at the same level as them, it would be a challenge for them to stay alive in this war.


On the battlefield, the power of a single person was inconsequential.


After all, it was difficult to fight four opponents when you only had two hands. If they had no leader to direct them, it could easily result in casualties.


The crowd nodded.


“Brother Sheng is correct. We need to choose a person whom we trust to lead us.”


“Who should we choose then?”


They searched their minds furiously for a suitable candidate. Some people even wanted to volunteer, but they felt that they were not powerful enough. How to convince the other prodigies if that was the case?


They needed someone who possessed indomitable battle prowess and who could control the situation.


At this thought, everyone inadvertently turned toward Shen Tian.


Their eyes shone as if they had seen hope.


Whether it was battle prowess or character, everyone was already utterly convinced that Shen Tian was the best.


Sheng Yangxu smiled. “Will Brother Shen please be our leader to lead us against the Evil Spirit race? If Brother Shen is willing to lead us, we will definitely win this battle!”


Shen Tian gave a bitter smile.


How could he reject the request when it was being made in this manner!?


He took a deep breath. “In that case, I accept!”


This concerned the survival of the five regions. Shen Tian did not wish to see Southern Border being destroyed.


One had to do one’s duty in the name of justice!


Thereafter, Shen Tian’s tone changed to a more serious note. “But you guys really need to listen to me if you want me to lead.”


On the battlefield, the commander’s word was the law. Once there were differing views, it might lead to the total destruction of the whole team.


Shen Tian had to remind everyone of that.


Without any hesitation, the prodigies hollered in unison. “We will follow Brother Shen’s commands!”


A prodigy battle team led by Shen Tian was officially formed!


...


At this moment, rays of divine light shone.


A terrifying aura surged over, covering the entire sky.


A white-haired, white-bearded elder dressed in purple strolled over. He looked like he was one with heaven and earth.


Sheng Yangxu was delighted. “Ancestor!”


This person was the Great Void Sacred Ground’s ancestor—the Void Sub-Thearch.


He was a 24 Tribulation Sub-Thearch and was extremely powerful.


With the Void Sub-Thearch on their side, their chances of winning had increased substantially.


The Void Sub-Thearch surveyed his surroundings before turning his gaze toward the south. He said solemnly, “My young friends, we will go help Southern Border now!”


The fabrics of space around him swirled, and he exuded with a tremendous void power.


Heaven and earth changed in that instant.


Void formation merged continuously, forming a light hole in the sky.


Before long, a massive void tunnel appeared in front of everyone.


This was the Void Sub-Thearch’s peerless void technique. He created a tunnel through the void that could bring them straight to Southern Border.


Making use of this void tunnel, they could save a lot of time and hurry to the battlefield as soon as possible.


Everyone’s eyes blazed with battle intent at the sight!


...


Southern Border brothers, hold on!


Reinforcements are on the way!
