I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 321

The Eternal Thearch was an existence from 100,000 years ago. He was the Black Tortoise race.

Among all the five regions' Thearchs, Eternal Thearch was definitely the most low-key one. His presence was hardly noticed.

How low was it?

When he had officially become a Thearch, he had not told anyone from the five regions. He had not even held a ceremony for himself.

He had randomly picked one of North Sea's islands and slept for 500 years. That was his way of celebrating. Naturally, all North Sea demons and monsters had been shocked.

They had all been prepared to kiss his ass, but he had not shown up in the end!

What else could they say?

However, this did not mean that Eternal Thearch was weak. In fact, he was astoundingly powerful.

He possessed the best Black Tortoise bloodline, and no one had a better defense than him. Even the other Thearchs could hardly break through his defense and harm him.

He would not be strong if defense was all he had. Otherwise, he would just be a foolish tank.

The Eternal Thearch had powerful attack methods too. His Eternal Sword had struck fear to many, including his era's Thearchs.

This was because he could perform a mysterious art called Age Nomological. He could decrease the target's life by sacrificing half of the amount of his own.

This meant that if he was to give up 10,000 years of his life, he could burn away 20,000 years of his opponent's!

After all, the Eternal Thearch was a Black Tortoise!

Nothing could compare to the Black Tortoises in terms of how long they could live, not even the Thearchs.

Although the Eternal Thearch hardly left North Sea, he would chase another Thearch if he was pissed.

Also, according to ancient records, the Eternal Thearch had realized his life was coming to an end when he was close to 10,000 years old. He had regretted being so impulsive when he was young, wasting many years of his life.

Thus, he had spent a few thousand years in seclusion and created an unbelievable mystic art, the Eternal Life Sutra.

Not only could this art increase a cultivator's battle prowess, but it also had a very powerful use—it could replenish the lifespan a cultivator had lost unnaturally.

What did unnatural loss of lifespan mean?

A man supposed to live until 80 years old, and they died when they were 80—this was considered natural death.

However!

If a normal early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was supposed to live until 1,000 years old, they would reach that age as long as they did not make any stupid decision at some point in time.

Let's take for example a cultivator whose talent would only allow them to reach the Golden Core stage. If said cultivator learned a forbidden art to reach the Nascent Soul stage in exchange for 200 years of their life, they could only live until the age of 800.

Another example was Wang Shenxu. He could sacrifice his own lifespan to increase his strength.

If he consumed enough supreme-grade elixirs and pills, he could recover the lost lifespan.

However, the body would develop resistance to all elixirs and pills. The frequent use of elixirs and pills would lose their effectiveness quickly.

That was the reason Wang Shenxu did not dare to take advantage of his mystic art even though he was from the Great Void Sacred Ground.

If he used the Great Void Sutra too frequently, an extremely high-grade pill could only recover a few years of his lifespan eventually. He would be very embarrassed by then.

However, the Eternal Life Sutra was completely different. The Eternal Thearch had tailor-made it for this purpose.

It could transform the normal Spirit Qi in the air into lifeforce and channel it back to the cultivator.

This replenished the lifespan that decreased unnaturally.

However, this mystic art could only recover the lost lifespan, and it could not go beyond the set limit.

For example, no matter how hard a Golden Core cultivator that was supposed to live until the age of 1,000 cultivated the art, they would be unable to increase their lifespan beyond 1,000.

In conclusion, this art was tailor-made for Wang Shenxu.

Similar to the Eternal Thearch's Age Nomological, his divine void constitution and Great Void Sutra could be used in tandem and decrease the opponents' lifespan too.

The Eternal Life Sutra can help me recover all the lifespan I've sacrificed!

Am I dreaming? I've found the Eternal Life Sutra!

All thanks to Brother Shen!

Wang Shenxu was very touched. His eyes were full of tears as he said excitedly, “Brother Shen! Thank you very much! If you need my help in the future, all you need to do is ask. I'll do anything for you!”

Before Wang Shenxu finished his sentence, his halo glowed brighter. There were more purple spots on it.

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu's halos glowed brighter too, but not as intense as Wang Shenxu's.

“You are welcome. We are all Saints from Eastern Wilderness, and we should help one another to build a better Eastern Wilderness together.”

Shen Tian felt his body became lighter. He knew that there were more golden spots on his halo now.

He passed two Sea God's Star Tears to Wang Shenxu and said, “Brother Wang, you have just reached the Nascent Soul stage and might not have gotten used to it yet. These Sea God's Star Tears might be useful to you.”

Sea God's Star Tears?

Wang Shenxu was stunned.

He was the Great Void Saint, so he knew how good it was.

If the Nirvana Holy Liquid was the treasure that could repair a cultivator's physical body, the Sea God's Star Tear would be the treasure that could replenish soul power.

There are hardly any Sea God's Star Tears in the market in the entire North Sea, and Brother Shen gave me two?

The Sea God's Star Tear is worth even more than a Spirit artifact!

Brother Shen's giving me an imperial sutra and two Sea God's Star Tears on our first meet?

He is so generous!

What have I done to deserve such a gift!?

Wang Shenxu said, “Brother Shen, I cannot keep these! If I'm not wrong, Brother Shen, you are still a Golden Core cultivator. You should keep this treasure for yourself!”

Shen Tian smiled and said, “It's okay. I have another 200 Sea God's Star Tears with me. You can have it. Tell me if you need more.”

Wang Shenxu, “!?”

What!?

200?

I have not drunk Five Treasures Tea for a few days, and now I'm having hallucinations?

Qi Shaoxuan sneered at Wang Shenxu. “Surprised by two Sea God's Star Tears? What limited knowledge.”

Ao Wu smiled too. “Brother Shenxu, you are welcome. Brother Shen is the real Son of Providence. He led us to an island that had plenty of these Sea God's Star Tears. We have plenty of them with us.”

Qi Shaoxuan, “…”

What do you mean by Shen Tian is the real Son of Providence? Who is the fake one!?

Wang Shenxu, “…”

You guys have plenty of this?

Bullsh*t!

Wang Shenxu received the Sea God's Star Tear and swallowed one of them carefully. He used his cultivation technique and refined the Sea God's Star Tear.

A beam of blue light suddenly burst out of him.

“I should take this time to learn the mystic art!”

Shen Tian smiled and also consumed a Sea God's Star Tear.

Although the Sea God's Star Tears would be ineffective to the growth of spiritual power after consuming multiple of them, they were still a very useful supplement when learning mystic arts.

The learning process would be much faster after consuming them.

Only a select few in the entire Chaotic Star Island were rich enough to use such treasure as supplements for learning cultivation techniques.

However, the time saved when learning the Eternal Life Sutra was more important.

It would take a few months or a year to learn the basics of an imperial sutra in normal cases.

However, Shen Tian and his friends were rushing for time. They wanted to finish cultivating the sutra as early as possible so that they could continue to search for new fortuitous opportunities.

Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu exchanged a look and took a Sea God's Star Tear each out of their storage rings too.

Wang Shenxu was shocked by how easily the three of them were popping Sea God's Star Tears like candy.

Are these guys for real?

Since when a treasure like the Sea God's Star Tear is so common?

Hallucination, this must be a hallucination!

Wang Shenxu sat down on the empty space in front of the Eternal Tablet. He calmed himself down, focused on the tablet, and started cultivating the mystic art.

Although the sutra was only part of the Eternal Life Sutra, it was still very mysterious.

This was something the Eternal Thearch had come up with in the latter part of his life, and it was as important as any other forbidden chapters.

Someone with weaker talent could not learn anything out of it.

Of course, Wang Shenxu was talented.

What was more important, his body was frail, so he wanted to learn this mystic art badly.

Wang Shenxu focused his mind on the Eternal Tablet.

The words and pictures on the tablet slowly disappeared, and a giant Black Tortoise appeared. It was breathing in a unique pattern in front of Wang Shenxu.

Huff!

Whoo!

Huff!

Whoo!

Wang Shenxu could see plenty of Spirit Qi gushing into the Black Tortoise's body as it continued breathing.

The Black Tortoise's body was transparent, and he could see how Spirit Qi was moving inside it. As more Spirit Qi entered, Wang Shenxu could feel that the Black Tortoise's origin was much stronger now.

Wang Shenxu was very sensitive to the increase in origin—it was directly linked to a living organism's lifespan!

One could live until their designated timing with a stronger origin!

Wang Shenxu was very familiar with wasting too much of origin and the concept of unnatural death.

“This… This is the thing I've been looking for!”

Wang Shenxu's voice was shaking. He bowed at the tablet and said, “I'm Wang Shenxu, the Great Void Saint. Thank you, Eternal Thearch!”

Wang Shenxu then lowered his body onto the ground and followed the Black Tortoise's breathing rhythm.

Wang Shenxu indeed lived up to his Great Void Saint title.

After consuming the Sea God's Star Tear and learning for half a day, he understood the Eternal Life Sutra's basics.

Huff!

Whoo!

Huff!

Whoo!

Wang Shenxu ignored Qi Shaoxuan, ignored Ao Wu, and…

He did not ignore Shen Tian.

He was the reason he could learn this sutra right now.

Wang Shenxu emptied his mind of all disturbances and started cultivating the Eternal Life Sutra.

As time passed, more Spirit Qi was gathered around Wang Shenxu. The Spirit Qi entered his body and went through a mysterious path.

Soon, Wang Shenxu's body emitted light spots.

These spots slowly formed a picture of a tortoise and engulfed Wang Shenxu. An avatar appeared as well.

It was a gigantic Black Tortoise that was a few thousand feet long.

There was a much smaller tortoise in front of this giant tortoise.

The bigger one extended its right foot and patted the smaller one's head.

The small black tortoise was very humble and had its head lowered.

It was like a sincere disciple who wished to learn from their master.

Wang Shenxu stayed on the ground and felt the changes happening to his body. He was delighted. He could feel that his understanding of the Eternal Life Sutra was increasing, and his lifespan was indeed increasing.

Wang Shenxu absorbed Spirit Qi and refined it, transforming it to the origin of his life.

Wang Shenxu felt that his body was not as weak as before.

Although that might be his imagination, his lifespan was indeed increasing.

“Eternal Thearch pat my head, and I'll be eternal!”

Wang Shenxu was indulged in the learning process.

On the other hand, Qi Shaoxuan was having a lot of trouble. He felt that the stance one had to take to cultivate the Eternal Life Sutra was too unsightly.

As a proud Saint, there was no way he was going to mimic a tortoise.

“Seems like I'm not fated with this mystic art.”

Qi Shaoxuan was helpless. He disliked this cultivation technique despite understanding something from the tablet too. Thus, Qi Shaoxuan was not as proficient in the Eternal Life Sutra as Wang Shenxu.

After 10 days, Wang Shenxu opened his eyes slowly.

Seclusion was indeed a time-consuming process for cultivators.

If the mystic arts were harder to understand, they could spend an entire year.

Some could even spend a century.

“I've been learning the Eternal Life Sutra for ten days and have recovered three years of my lifespan. It should be faster if I master the sutra.”

Wang Shenxu was delighted to feel the difference in his body.

He turned around and looked at Qi Shaoxuan. He was glad to see Qi Shaoxuan was not making any progress.

“Mr. Qi, aren't you Eastern Wilderness' top cultivator? Why are you staring at blank space? Haha, you cannot learn this art too?”

Qi Shaoxuan's mouth twitched before he scoffed. “I do not need to sacrifice my lifespan to beat my opponent. Why should I learn this cultivation technique? You think you really learn something from it? All you've been doing is laying on the ground like a retard!”

Before Qi Shaoxuan could finish his sentence, Wang Shenxu's aura burst out of a sudden.

Blue energy was burning around him, and he seemed to merge with the void.

“You always wanted to fight me, right?

“I didn't have a choice back then…

“But now I'll kick your ass!”

Wang Shenxu felt that he was a new man now.

He would make the Great Void Sacred Ground proud again!
