I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 113

At Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Black Dragon Mountain…

This was the mountain among the 36 Spirit Mountains in the sacred ground whose element was Wood.

Although no Soul Formation Elder was in this mountain, a Grand Elder was sleeping there.

In addition, it was a place for First Senior Brother, Fang Chang, and Second Senior Brother, Zhang Yunting, to undergo dual cultivation.

Zhang Yunting's attribute was Wood, while Fang Chang was gifted in both Fire and Earth.

Since the five elements both vitalized and restrained one another—Metal went well with Water, Water with Wood, Wood with Fire, Fire with Earth, and Earth with Metal—just like how Zhang Yunxi could help Shen Tian, Zhang Yunxi could help Fang Chang in the same way.

Although they were not blood brothers, they were very close and totally different from their fathers.

They had been under seclusion for three months now to help Fang Chang reach a breakthrough in his cultivation.

The Golden Core stage made a huge difference between talented cultivators and normal ones.

There were no more Firmaments at this stage, like the Qi Refinement or the stages in the Foundation Establishment.

The Golden Core stage required the cultivators to form a Golden Core in their Dharmic foundation and strengthen it with harsh training.

After each training session, the Golden Core in a cultivator's body would be purified slightly. It would become stronger and harder. It was just like an iron ore that was tempered by the hammer 1,000 times and forged into steel.

Each time the Golden Core was purified, a Divine Emblem would appear on the core. The cultivator's power would improve drastically with the emblem.

This process was called the Golden Core Refinement.

Normally, a cultivator could prepare for Nascent Soul after the third refinement, but such Nascent Soul cultivators would be very weak.

A stronger Golden Core cultivator could beat 10 Nascent Soul cultivators easily.

In addition, a Nascent Soul cultivator that had undergone only three refinements in the Golden Core would have a weak foundation too. Without six refinements at Golden Core, it was not likely they could reach Soul Formation.

It would take a lot of talent for someone to undergo six refinements in the Golden Core, but they could defeat weaker Nascent Soul cultivators, nonetheless.

One would be extremely gifted if they managed to undergo seven refinements in the Golden Core, and they could easily defeat a normal Nascent Soul cultivator.

In the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Zhang Yunting and his sister were Golden Core Seven Refinement stage cultivators.

One rare cultivator in Eastern Wilderness had undergone eight refinements now—his name was Fang Chang!

In the entire Eastern Wilderness ranking, Fang Chang was amongst the top three on the list!

Fang Chang and Zhang Yunting were cultivating in seclusion now to help Fang Chang to break through the last part of his Golden Core journey—the ninth refinement!

It was believed that the ninth refinement was the max refinement a cultivator could undergo in Golden Core.

For the past thousand years of history in Eastern Wilderness, very few cultivators had managed to undergo the ninth refinement.

If Fang Chang really managed to undergo the ninth refinement with just his broken Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra, he would be a legend.

He could be comparable to the monster that was ranked number one in the Golden Core list. That was the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground's Saint, Qi Shaoxuan.

He was a monster that had infinite providence, and he carried his entire sacred ground purely by his providence. He was the only Golden Core Nine Refinement stage cultivator in Eastern Wilderness now. Thus, his position as the number one was unquestionable.

Many seniors from different branches had seen how strong his providence was, and all of them believed that he had the potential to be a Thearch!

However, Fang Chang was very determined to surpass that legend. He believed that as long as he managed to refine his Golden Core one more time, he would be weaker than no one.

So what if you have great providence? Without sufficient training, you are just a decoration on the wall!

When I succeed in my ninth refinement, you will be a legend no more!

In the back of the Black Dragon Mountain, a man in a blue shirt sat cross-legged with a guqin on his lap.

The music he played on it was so beautiful that it attracted many birds on the Spirit Mountain. Even the plants and the herbs looked greener with his music.

A huge Azure Dragon avatar was hovering over him, while a burly man with golden armor was sitting across him.

The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. A Red Flame Dragon Spear with golden and red lightning sparkles was placed on his lap.

A Crimson Phoenix was on his back, and it exuded such fire that the sky looked red. There was also a golden Qilin avatar beside the Phoenix.

The burly man had a Golden Core floating on top of his head, and the red and golden divine lights were surrounding it.

The Golden Core was covered in eight emblems, and the ninth one was slowly forming too.

The burly man took a deep breath and forced the two divine lights into the Golden Core.

After the Crimson Phoenix and Qilin entered the Golden Core, it started to sink slowly.

When the burly man completely absorbed the Golden Core, he opened his eyes and said, “Thank you, Junior Brother!”

The burly man emitted a powerful aura that even blew away the clouds in the sky above him.

Fang Chang held his Red Flame Dragon Spear and smiled. “I've had a basic emblem formed now. The ninth refinement is just around the corner!”

The man in the blue shirt stood up too and smiled warmly. “Congratulations, First Senior Brother.”

Fang Chang smiled and said, “Junior Brother! I'll remember your kind act! I'll support you wholeheartedly when you campaign for the Saint position in the future.”

Zhang Yunting carried his guqin on his back and said calmly, “Senior Brother, please don't mock me like this. I'm only ranked seventh on the Golden Core list. I'm not strong enough to be our Divine Firmament's Saint. On the other hand, Senior Brother is ranked third in the Golden Core list, and you are about to complete the ninth refinement soon. You will be a legend then.”

Fang Chang smiled and waved his hand. “Junior Brother, you should know better. I'm not interested in the Saints at all.

“In addition, you have managed our disciples well. All of them are convinced that you are worthy of this position.

“Do not turn away from this opportunity, you will definitely be the Saint. I'll even support you to be the Sacred Leader in the future.

“Cough, cough… All I ask is for you to compliment me more in front of Yunxi. That would be a great help for me.”

The burly man's face blushed after saying that.

Zhang Yunting said helplessly, “Erm, I've been doing that for a long time now.”

Honestly, Zhang Yunting respected his Senior Brother sincerely as he was strong and talented.

If Fang Chang could earn Zhang Yunxi's favor, his Senior Brother would become his brother-in-law. Zhang Yunting would be very glad about that.

However, his words were taken very lightly at home!

He had praised his First Senior Brother in front of his sister for many times now, but Zhang Yunxi would always say that she was not into Dao companion yet.

Thus, he was very helpless too.

Fang Chang smiled and said, “We've been training for a very long time now. Let's go out for a few days and relax. We'll come back and finish where we left another day!”

Zhang Yunting nodded. “Sure, I'll listen to whatever Senior Brother says.”

After the two of them rested for a few moments, they left the Black Dragon Mountain.

Just as they stepped out of the mountain restriction zone, a man appeared in front of them.

“First Senior B
