I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 264: Pretty Qiuyue, Jade Lake’s Big Female Boss!

Following the God of War Pagoda’s arrival in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, visitors had been swarming over to the place the past few days.

Countless disciples, elders, and even the sect leaders of the various blessed-lands and grotto-heavens had come.

These blessed-lands and grotto-heavens were those who relied on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Jade Lake Sacred Ground.

It had been a long time since the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had seen this kind of crowd.

In the years when the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had floundered, those blessed-lands and grotto-heavens had not dared to rebel. Nonetheless, they had been discreetly becoming dismissive.

That was until the current Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Zhang Longyuan, assumed his position. His cultivation had progressed at a rapid pace, overcoming the tribulation and becoming a Sage in record-breaking time.

In addition, he had formed alliances with the nearby Jade Lake, Sonic Thunder, and other sacred grounds while conquering some of the further lands. In this way, he created a dominant presence over the entire region.

As a result, he had managed to stabilize the increasingly shaky loyalties of those grotto-heavens and blessed-lands.

Even so, those grotto-heavens and blessed-lands had other secret plans. They had discreetly started to form alliances with the Purple Mansion and Big Dipper Sacred Grounds.

Actually, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground knew of those alliances. Even without their gathered intelligence, they could guess as much. After all, to the cultivation sects, self-interest would always be king.

After the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had lost their forbidden chapter, it was actually quite understandable that the other powers would start to doubt them.

That was until the Divine Firmament Saint found and retrieved the imperial sutra’s forbidden chapter, Decalamity. This situation was finally resolved.

The moment news spread that Decalamity had been returned to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, the surrounding regions’ strife decreased by over 40%.

The original reason behind the strife could be easily guessed.

As remarkable as the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was, he was just one man.

However, to the sacred ground, the importance of a powerful legacy was far greater than a single person. Only with the complete imperial sutra could the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground be considered the true, almighty, and dominant Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

…

If the Decalamity chapter gave the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground hope of reclaiming their top position, then the God of War Pagoda offered the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground the possibility of reaching even greater heights!

Anyone with a brain would know just how important the vast skill library in the God of War Pagoda was to the sacred grounds.

It would be a major boost to their power if they could ally themselves with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground now that the God of War Pagoda had made its base there.

They would regret it in the future if they didn’t take this chance now to suck up the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

In just a short three days, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had welcomed the leaders of 6 grotto-heavens and 12 blessed-lands, as well as countless elders.

As the various powers gathered to discuss partnerships and alliances, there were, of course, plenty of under-the-table transactions.

Anyway, Zhang Longyuan’s lightning and heavenly aura were maintained at a heightened state over the past few days.

Even Heavenly Venerable Chu Longhe found those few days very profitable. After all, the more people came to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, the more opportunities there were for him.

After using all sorts of ways, both legal and not-so-legal, he had managed to get quite a number of Spirit Stones.

These two men were thinking, Tian’er is indeed the sacred ground’s lucky charm!

How great it feels to have a Son of Providence in our house!

…

“Announcing the arrival of Jade Lake’s Sacred Leader!”

A disciple’s voice called out at the entrance of the Divine Firmament Small World.

Following that, an ensemble of traditional Chinese instruments echoed, as melodious as a heavenly song.

A bevy of young ladies in royal wear was playing the instruments. Every one of them was graceful and lovely.

A misty Spirit Qi was emitted every time their feet made contact with the ground, looking like the faint rays of the sun peeking out of the clouds. They looked like they had stepped right out of a painting.

A chariot was in the middle of these ladies.

The entire chariot looked like it was exquisitely carved out of immortal jade. It looked extremely pristine and elegant.

Seven beasts were at the front of the chariot—a white bird, green bird, black bird, blue fish, dark-red dragon, yellow tiger, and golden qilin.

The wheels rumbled across the ground, sounding very much like thunder, divine and regal.

The moment the chariot appeared, all the practitioners’ divine consciousness across a radius of hundreds of miles was instantly drawn to that vehicle.

One by one, powerful cultivators from all directions rushed over to welcome the chariot. They deeply feared that any signs of delay on their part would anger this eminent female Sage and bring upon untold disasters.

After all, one should never offend a woman.

It would never do to provoke a powerful woman. Not to mention a whole group of very powerful women!

“Greetings Jade Lake Sacred Leader!”

“Greetings Jade Lake Sacred Leader!”

“Greetings Jade Lake Sacred Leader!”

…

“No need for all this formality.”

A clear voice sounded from the Jade Lake chariot.

One could vaguely see a delicate figure through the gauzy curtain. She was just sitting there in a regal posture, but that was enough to make one’s mind start to wander.

But as much as one’s mind wanted to wander, no one standing there dared to really indulge in any dirty thoughts.

No one would dare to disrespect even a Heavenly Venerable. Not to mention this was the Jade Lake Sacred Leader, one of the most powerful old women across the five regions!

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader was over 1,000 years old and was indeed an old woman.

However, as long as a Sage didn’t meet with any disaster, it was very common for them to live up to 8,000 to 9,000 years of age. Although she was 1,000 years old, she was still considered in the prime of her life.

Anyone who managed to win the Jade Lake Sacred Leader’s affection would be able to ascend straight to the top, saving on at least 1,000 years’ worth of hardship and struggles.

Unfortunately, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader never had a partner, even though she was already over 1,000 years old.

According to gossip, it was because the Jade Lake Sacred Leader had spent her childhood years growing up in the red-light district. As a result, she had witnessed many heartless and despicable men.

She hadn’t had a good impression of men since then. Instead, she preferred the company of women.

Of course, it was already impossible to investigate the truth behind this rumor.

Anyway, even if someone did know the truth, they would not dare to reveal it as it concerned the Jade Lake Sacred Leader.

…

The chariot’s curtains were lifted gently, and a female figure appeared before everyone.

She was bathed in a misty divine light, and her features could not be seen clearly. One felt like they were admiring flowers through a fog. It was extremely mystical.

Behind her was a weapon in the shape of a full moon. It emitted a faint moon glow. Everyone’s heart felt exceptionally light and clean just by looking at it.

Extraordinary!

She was the Jade Lake Sacred Leader indeed. Extraordinary!

“I didn’t know the great Jade Lake Sacred Leader was coming and didn’t go out to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me.”

A door appeared in mid-air.

A person enshrouded in lightning and heavenly aura stepped out. Who else could it be but the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader?

And beside him was Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus with his golden staff. He grinned happily when he saw the Jade Lake Sacred Leader.

“Wow, if it isn’t my pretty sister! It has been several hundred years since we last met, and you have learned the trick of using divine mist to cover your face—”

Before Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus could complete his sentence, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader’s aura rippled intensely.

A cold, emotionless voice sounded. “Number one, I am not your pretty sister. Please call me Jade Lake Sacred Leader or Fairy Qiuyue!

“Number two, I do not practice magic tricks but cultivate the Jade Lake Imperial Sutra. I will not tolerate insults by a deadbeat fellow like you.

“Number three, you are the scoundrel who betrayed Junior Sister Scarlet Dance. Please don’t try to curry favor with me.

“If not for the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s protection, I would have already castrated you!”

A chill ran down Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’s back at Yao Qiuyue’s words.

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance was standing beside her, and her eyes were now red-rimmed.

She was indeed Jade Lake’s big female boss. Formidable!
