Chapter 196: Jade Lake Sacred Ground, A Visit By An Old Friend!

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Clear and crisp banging sounds echoed from Shen Tian’s room.

The narrow-eyed Qin Yundi smiled and said, “Senior Brother, what do you think about this gun?”

“According to your reminder, mother had specially added a noise reduction array formation that could prevent the gunshot from being too loud.”

Shen Tian nodded, looking at the Dharma artifact shield that had obviously deformed from the shots. He was extremely satisfied.

Shen Tian had picked up that shield back at Fog City, and its former owner had most likely died. Thus, following the virtue of not wasting, Shen Tian had taken this shield.

Currently, bullet holes were obvious on that shield, and some even directly pierced through it.

It was obvious that the power of this Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun was quite good.

What was more rare and commendable was that the gun’s recoil was not strong, so Shen Tian could completely take it.

Shen Tian shot that shield 10 times at once—each shot had precisely landed on the shield, not accidentally injuring Qin Yundi, who was at the side.

As compared to the normal Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun that had to wait for a while before being able to shoot the second shot, the durability and fault tolerance rate of the Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun were indeed much higher.

As this gun was just a sample, it was relatively crudely made.

However, only speaking from its function, its main performance was already that of an automatic rifle.

Qin Yundi indeed had the talents and coupled with the crafting skills of Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus, their research on firearms was very smooth.

Shen Tian could almost see a revolution by cultivators with low cultivation levels.

Of course, the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun and Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun might be extremely powerful amongst low-level cultivators, but they were destined to be unable to affect the entire cultivation world.

That was because oxygen and hydrogen with Spirit Qi, no matter how tightly they were compressed, they could only break through the Golden Core Restriction realm.

When facing Nascent Soul cultivators like Supremacy Blood Mosquito, it was difficult for it to have the surprise element and one-shot kill effect.

These weapons’ attack speed was even unable to compare with the dodging and defending speed of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Supremacies could easily deal with these attacks.

If one wanted to threaten Nascent Soul Supremacy or Heavenly Venerables, most likely electromagnetic guns, laser weapons, or even nuclear weapons needed to be invented.

Whether nuclear weapons were even able to threaten Heavenly Venerables, even Shen Tian was unsure. That was because Shen Tian had witnessed the battle between Mother Vine Lu Ji and Qian Yang Sword Venerable—they could be called humanoid missiles.

Be it their attacking power or defensive power, they completely dominated Nascent Soul cultivators.

With their means, as long as they were not in the centermost area of the nuclear explosion, they would most likely be able to escape with ease!

As for nuclear weapons’ most fearsome aspect, nuclear radiation, it was really not that threatening to cultivators!

Not to mention some powerful Supremacies were already able to hide within the void.

Thus, Shen Tian decided that the research on firearms would end here!

Anyway, in the future, if there were no accidents, he would definitely become a Soul Formation Heavenly Venerable.

If he freeloaded enough people blessed with providence, even surviving the tribulation to become a Sage and achieve Immortal Ascension were all possible.

In such a situation, there was really no need to invent something like nuclear weapons anymore, and it would even pollute the environment.

At the same time, making those high-tech weapons did consume quite a lot of time.

Alright!

Shen Tian admitted that it was actually because he could only make weapons using electrolysis with his level of knowledge in physical chemistry!

Which normal youngster would know how to make a laser cannon or nuclear weapons?

Even this electrolysis was something Shen Tian had barely remembered after looking at the scene of Qin Yundi’s fortuitous opportunity.

As for the other knowledge, he had long returned it to his high school teachers!

…

After returning the Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun to Qin Yundi, Shen Tian said calmly, “Junior Brother Yundi, you’ve done well.

“This Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun’s practicability is even higher than the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun. In the future, you can continue researching, but you must let Aunt-Master Golden Lotus pay attention to the core technology’s confidentiality.”

The narrow-eyed Qin Yundi smiled and said, “Senior Brother, don’t worry, I know.”

Shen Tian nodded. “Then, for our direction of research in the future, we can focus on improving the stability of the Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun.

“Also, there’s no hurry to start selling the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun and Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun. The Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman is enough.”

Although these weapons could only threaten weak Golden Core cultivators, cultivators below Golden Core were the mainstream in Eastern Wilderness.

The Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had invented was enough to seize most of the market for cultivators of low cultivation level.

That was enough!

If they recklessly also sold the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun, it would definitely draw backlash from the whole Eastern Wilderness’ cultivators.

Others had worked hard for hundreds of years to reach the Golden Core stage, but a weakling in the Foundation Establishment stage was able to kill them with one shot? What would they think of it?

In the future, those cultivators who had poor talent just needed to train their bodies and prolong their lifespan?

In the course of time, wouldn’t the Divine Firmament disciples be treated as offbeat heretics?

Thus, it would not be good for the sacred ground’s development.

…

Although Qin Yundi did not know the reason for Shen Tian’s decision, he firmly believed what his Senior Brother said must be right!

After storing the Yin-Yang Rapid Firing Gun into his interspatial ring, Qin Yundi nodded. “Alright. Senior Brother, I understand!”

Shen Tian nodded. “There are dangers everywhere in the Primordial Battlefield. Are our sacred ground’s disciples well-equipped?”

Qin Yundi replied, “Yeap, Senior Brother. Don’t worry.

“In this Primordial Battlefield trial, the Sacred Leader specially opened a ‘loan channel’ for all disciples that joined the trial. Everyone could borrow Spirit Stones and use them to buy Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans and Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning.

“Now, all the disciples are well-equipped with so much that they could even beat a dozen people themselves!”

Seeing Qin Yundi, who was full of pride, Shen Tian nodded in satisfaction.

Although Shen Tian did not want to be the leader, since his master had already handed these disciples into his hands, he had to do a good job. Or else, what if these guys encountered some dangers and resulted in heavy casualties? Then wouldn’t he, the leader, need to take the responsibility?

After all, almost all the victims’ families could not be reasoned with, regardless of whether they were ancient or modern.

Shen Tian pondered for a moment and still felt that they were not safe enough. Thus, he took a Nirvana Holy Liquid bottle out of his Archeon Sea Ring and another 100+ small bottles.

Shen Tian split 1mL of Nirvana Holy Liquid into each small bottle and sealed them.

Instantly, 100 bottles shining with green light appeared in front of Shen Tian.

“Junior Brother Yundi, help me distribute these Nirvana Holy Liquid bottles to our Junior Brothers and Sisters. Just say that this is the benefit our Favored Ones group gives to everyone.

“Every disciple is limited to one bottle each, no one can take more than one, one cannot help others to take, it cannot be resold, and it cannot be gifted to others.

“Offenders will be expelled from the group. As for those with serious offenses, I will inform the sacred ground and expel them from the sect.

“You must ensure that every Junior Brother and Sister will be able to obtain this bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

“I hope that everyone can return safe and sound!”

The Nirvana Holy Liquid was obtained from Fang Chang’s fortuitous opportunity, so the ones that Shen Tian gifted the Nirvana Holy Liquid to would have an increase in their providence.

Although this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid was nothing to Shen Tian—these 100 bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid amounted just to 100mL—to Foundation Establishment cultivators, just one drop was enough to save their lives.

With such a bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid in their hand, it might have great use during crucial moments!

Also, Shen Tian had other considerations. Now that they were about to enter the Primordial Battlefield, it was the moment where one’s providence would be tested.

The providence of those disciples that received the Nirvana Holy Liquid would increase slightly.

It might be that little bit of increase that could allow them to escape from death or even encounter their fortuitous opportunity!

By then, it would be simple to obtain their trust by giving them the bottle for free.

Shen Tian might even be able to freeload some disciples’ fortuitous opportunities, too—it was a win-win situation!

In addition, the Favored Ones’ cohesion would increase greatly as well. In other words, it was killing several birds with one stone!

At the very least, if they encountered a disaster like that of Fog City, if there were casualties within the disciples, then Shen Tian would not be blamed. After all, he had already made “such a huge” sacrifice and shared such a large amount of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

Anyway, Shen Tian was definitely not going to take the blame at all!

In that short moment, Shen Tian had already calculated everything.

However, Qin Yundi obviously did not know Shen Tian’s considerations, and he was currently extremely moved.

Senior Brother truly is awesome! His high morality reaches up to the clouds!

He is giving this much Nirvana Holy Liquid to ensure the disciples’ safety. This is a total of 100 bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid!

Thinking till here, Qin Yundi felt that he must inform Junior Brother Song Fugui and Junior Brother Liu Taiyi of Shen Tian’s sacrifice.

Yepp, I also have to tell Senior Brother Li Yunfeng after I return to the sacred ground.

However… he most likely did not even need to tell Li Yunfeng!

Senior Brother Li Yunfeng would know about it as soon as possible and then spread it throughout the sacred ground.

“Senior Brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely ensure that every Junior Brother and Sister will be able to receive the Nirvana Holy Liquid you gave!

“This is not the Nirvana Holy Liquid. It’s the earnest care you have for your Junior Brothers and Sisters!

“I’m touched, I’m extremely touched!”

His narrow eyes were filled with tears.

Qin Yundi walked outside resolutely while holding the 100 bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

Shen Tian looked at Qin Yundi’s back as he left and felt that this fellow seemed to have been influenced by Shopkeeper Song and the others.

…

Suddenly, Shen Tian frowned.

Not good, I was in too much of a hurry!

I should not be in a rush to share the Nirvana Holy Liquid. 1mL per person is just too stingy!

If I had known earlier, I would have taken a bath using the Nirvana Holy Liquid and then share it.

By then, each Junior Brother and Sister would at least be able to have a cup of the Nirvana Holy Liquid!

Anyway, I can tell them clearly beforehand that I had accidentally bathed using this holy liquid, so when they use it, they should try their best to apply it externally and not drink it.

Those Junior Brothers that do not mind could have more Nirvana Holy Liquid, which I bathed with, while those that mind, I’ll give them clean one but less.

Anyway, they’re all men. They would not mind, right?

It’s just that some Junior Sisters might not be willing. Junior Sisters prefer cleanliness, after all!

Of course, it might be that Junior Brothers are unwilling while the Junior Sisters fight over it.

As the trial was approaching, Shen Tian was slightly nervous, so he started letting his imagination run wild.

Meanwhile, at this moment, the Divine Firmament Flying Vessel was still rapidly advancing.

Near the Country of Fire, at the outer peripheral of the Primordial Battlefield…

Within a temporarily built town for the trial, there were plenty of disciples from Jade Lake Sacred Ground and other sects. They were already ready to enter the Primordial Battlefield.

There were only two hours left before the trial started.

However, one of the two major sacred grounds, Divine Firmament, had yet to arrive.

Many “genius disciples” of grotto-heavens and blessed-lands were already complaining.

“The trial is about to start. Why hasn’t the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground arrived? They’re just too arrogant!”

“Sigh, even Jade Lake Sacred Ground, whose ranking is higher than the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, has already arrived long ago. This time, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is indeed putting on airs.”

“There’s no other choice. At least two Thearch artifacts are needed to open the way into the Primordial Battlefield. If the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground doesn’t come, are you going to open the way?”

“Did you hear? There’s a new Saint in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. It’s not Fang Chang, nor is it Zhang Yunting.”

“Of course I’ve heard about it. I heard it was a nameless guy. His name was something like Shen Tian!”

“Nameless, are you kidding me? Do you know what notice the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground had recently released?”

“What notice?”

“Ha, the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground released a notice a few days ago that their Buddhist Lord had entered seclusion.

“Before entering seclusion, he gave out an order to let the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground’s elders give the Sonic Thunder’s Buddhism Token to the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian!”

“What? The Sonic Thunder’s Buddhism Token? Isn’t that the supreme treasure of the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground? They’re actually giving it to the Divine Firmament Saint?”

“Looks like this Divine Firmament Saint is quite amazing! How high is his cultivation level? He must have already achieved the Nascent Soul stage, right?”

“I heard that he’s only a Foundation Establishment cultivator and is going to this trial with us!”

“How is it possible!? Are you serious?”

…

As the many disciples were talking, a few young ladies gradually walked by.

The lady at the front was a girl wearing green clothes and looked ethereal, as if she was a fairy that had descended.

Spirit Qi vaguely gathered with each step she took, which formed the shape of a faint lotus flower.

She was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but she had such graceful bearing it left one amazed!

When she appeared, everyone stopped talking and looked at her in a daze.

There was no other choice. She was just too extraordinary and breathtaking.

Some cultivators that had some understanding of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground were secretly using their divine consciousness to explain to others that this lady was the disciple that had recently entered the Jade Lake Sacred Ground.

She had a special body constitution, which allowed her to have a high affinity with the Jade Lake Sacred Ground’s cultivation techniques and had already been accepted as Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance’s disciple.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance was one of the few Soul Formation elders of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, her strength and status extremely extraordinary.

Thus, this lady’s future achievements, who had become Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance’s disciple, definitely could not be underestimated.

Meanwhile, the place where she was heading was where the Grand White Grotto-Heaven disciples were located.

As she gracefully took step by step, she came face to face with the Grand White Grotto-Heaven disciple that was guarding the entrance.

She smiled slightly. “I am Jade Lake Sacred Ground’s disciple, Xiao Ling. I wish to meet Senior Brother Shen Ao.

“Would Senior Brothers please help me pass on a message, just say… it’s a visit by an old friend!”
