Chapter 63: I’ll Do Anything

Any cultivation branch’s core heritage was cultivation techniques.

Divine Firmament was one of the Sacred Grounds in the Eastern Wilderness, and it was specialized in Lightning Spells.

Since ancient times, members of the Divine Firmament had been serving justice with lightning. The strongest among them could even control Heavenly Tribulations.

It was a powerful heritage among the 12 Sacred Grounds, and it even topped them when it was at its peak.

At that time, Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had been the Eastern Wilderness’ leader, and everyone had to obey them.

Unfortunately, nothing could last forever.

Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had been the biggest threat to the evil fiends 10,000 years ago, so they had decided to raid the Divine Firmament with everything they had. In the end, even the Divine Firmament Small World had been breached!

It was a tragedy that no one had ever seen before.

All of Divine Firmament’s Saints, Sacred Leaders, and Grand Elders had died in that battle. Naturally, many powerful and supreme lightning techniques were lost back then. Their best cultivation method, the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra, was no exception either as more than half of it had been lost in the tragedy too.

The chapters on the forbidden techniques had disappeared forever!

Decalamity was the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra’s top-tier forbidden technique and heritage. It could rank among the top three Imperial Sutras in terms of power in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

All the Divine Firmament Saints and Sacred Leaders had been using it to get strong since the beginning of the sacred ground. As long as they mastered the technique, no one in the same tier could ever defeat them.

Although Divine Firmament had suffered great losses, the loss of this mystic technique had been the most impactful.

Divine Firmament used to be in the top five among the Sacred Grounds. Unfortunately, since more than half of the Imperial Sutra had been lost, none of the talented cultivators could advance further at later stages, nor could they compete with the other Sacred Grounds’ talented cultivators. As such, Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had lost its power and standing.

Divine Firmament had been in a very awkward position during that period. In the passage of 10,000 years, Divine Firmament had elected more than 10 Sacred Leaders, and each one of them had tried their best to fix the heritage cultivation techniques of their sacred ground.

As time passed, most of the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra had been recovered. However, it was impossible to fix the last chapter of the forbidden technique, Decalamity.

It was the most powerful forbidden technique that the Lightning Emperor had recorded in the Imperial Sutra. It was not possible to recover this chapter without referring to the original copy unless someone was as talented as the Lightning Emperor himself.

…

Zhang Yunxi had never imagined that she would find the heritage her sacred ground had been searching for centuries in a little ore workshop in the Country of Fire!

This Divine Firmament Drager Pendant was also called Divine Firmament Calamity, and two separate techniques were recorded in their respective parts.

When one combined the two pendants and activated them with the special incantation from the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant, Decalamity would appear for cultivation.

The pendants were the Divine Firmament Sacred Leaders’ trademark 10,000 years ago.

Zhang Yunxi used the special incantation spell and struck the pendants with it. The jade pendants absorbed the spell, and the light surrounding them dimmed.

Zhang Yunxi held the jade pendants with care. Her eyes were filled with tears even though she used to be unflustered about everything.

No one knew how excited Zhang Yunxi was at that moment.

Upon seeing the tearful Zhang Yunxi, Liu Taiyi snorted.

“If I’m not mistaken, you didn’t believe in our Master Celestial, right? Why are you crying now?

“I remember someone saying with confidence that nothing good would come out of this ore. If the item was worth more than 500,000 Spirit Stones, what would you do again?”

Liu Taiyi’s mocking words alarmed Zhang Yunxi, and her smile started to disappear.

That’s very true!

Zhang Yunxi had tried to laugh at Shopkeeper Song and come up with a bet just now. If the item was worth more than 500,000 Spirit Stones, she would give it to Shen Tian for free.

How could she know this would happen?

It would already be a miracle if this Spider Ore contained a Spirit Artifact. Who would know that it actually contained this Divine Firmament Drager Pendant?

The power of lightning had caused the previous cracks on the ore!

500,000 Spirit Stones was nowhere near the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant’s worth, not even 10,000 times that amount!

Now that Liu Taiyi brought up the bet she had proposed earlier, Zhang Yunxi was very helpless.

She would have given the item with no hesitation if it were something like Immortal Metal, Mystic Earth, or Absolute Water. However, she could never give up on this pendant and Decalamity.

It was the only hope that their Divine Firmament could be successful again!

Zhang Yunxi blushed with embarrassment and bit her lips.

She took a deep breath and said, “These jade pendants are essential to me. Could Mr. Shen just let me keep them? I’m willing to do anything for you, even if I have to…”

In fact, if Zhang Yunxi wanted to snatch the pendants with force, she could do that easily, and no one could stop her. However, she was too proud to do so.

Zhang Yunxi had already made up her mind that as long as Shen Tian was willing to let her keep the pendants, she would do anything for him, even if she had to marry him. It was her fault that things had turned out like this, and she could only suffer the consequences in silence!

Zhang Yunxi had already braced herself for the exorbitant price Shen Tian was about to announce.

Surprisingly, Shen Tian only looked at the sky and smiled.

“Fairy Zhang, it’s okay. Like I’ve said, ‘If we are fated, my services will be free; but if we are not, no amount of gold would fancy me.’

“There’s fate between Fairy Zhang and me. You’ve already paid for the ore, so this treasure belongs to you.

“You don’t have to worry about the bet with Shopkeeper Song, just keep the item. If there’s a chance in the future, you can repay me then.”

Shen Tian looked at the dark clouds in the sky as they started to scatter. He knew these pendants were precious, but he was unsure how special and what their uses were.

Weren’t the pendants tempting to him?

Or course!

The problem was that he did not dare to keep them for himself!

If Shen Tian had discovered the pendants alone, he would have kept them. It would be stupid if he did not do so!

Unfortunately, the entire Myriad Spirit Garden and the nearby cultivators knew that this treasure was here in the Myriad Spirit Garden.

Shen Tian did not dare to keep the items in such a situation!

Given his slightly white halo, he would definitely be unable to handle this item. At most, he could only share the items’ providence.

The ‘Coffin Dance’ song[1] would most likely be played for him if he tried to keep the items for himself.

Also, special incantations were needed to combine them into the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant and activate it, so they would be useless for Shen Tian.

Thus, the best choice was to just give the jade pendants to Zhang Yunxi. If they were useful to her, she would definitely owe him a big favor, and he would gain lots of benefits in the future!

Shen Tian understood that point very well. There was danger everywhere in the cultivation world. If he did not have enough power and providence, it would be better for him to be slow and steady. After all, the turtle won the race in the end.
