Chapter 460: Shi Tianzi: I Am More Powerful Than Brother Shen!?
Immortal King Hun Tian was shocked by the power Shen Tian displayed.
He knew that Shen Tian had the Connate Constitution, but even so, he didnât expect him to be that freakishly powerful.
The profoundness and complexity of the Immortal King sutra were beyond words. It harbored the boundless concepts of the Heavenly Dao.
Even with the Connate Constitution, it should be impossible to gain such a thorough understanding within such a short period.
The previous practitioner who possessed the Connate Constitution also had to spend 10 years before he could cultivate the Immortal King sutra to the Greater Mastery stage.
That was already an amazing record in the Celestial World. Countless practitioners had been dumbstruck then.
To this day, no one had managed to break that record.
But now, Shen Tian managed to cultivate the
in only three yearsâ time. Immortal King Hun Tianâs worldview had been turned upside down.
It looks like this kid didnât just have the Connate Constitution. He must have some other secret attributes.
No wonder âthatâ person would impart his legacy to this kid. He is indeed freakishly powerful!
Noticing the appearance of Immortal King Hun Tian, Shen Tian stepped forward. âSenior, I have finished cultivating.â
Immortal King Hun Tianâs body stiffened as he pretended to be calm. âYou have pretty good innate talent. Of course, you are still not as good as when I was young.â
No one knew that Immortal King Hun Tian was actually churning with shock inwardly. He was only saying those words in case Shen Tian got a big head.
Shen Tianâs achievement was mind-blowing. No one else could compare.
Even Immortal King Hun Tian himself could not achieve that even at his current age.
Of course, he would never admit that. He had to maintain his pride!
Shen Tian sighed. âLooks like my innate talent is still not good enough!â
One must have been an exceptional prodigy and be invincible in the Celestial World to have become the Immortal King.
Since Immortal King Hun Tian had said that Shen Tian was still inferior when compared to him, it meant that Shen Tian was still not as good as those exceptional prodigies in the Celestial World.
The corners of Immortal King Hun Tianâs mouth twitched at Shen Tianâs words.
Your freakish powers are still not good enough? Can you please give some leeway to the prodigies in the Celestial World?
Immortal King Hun Tianâs face turned slightly red. âYoung friend, no need to be demoralized. You are not as good as me, but you are already better than 90% of the Celestial World prodigies.
âHowever, this is not all there is to my
. There are still many major, profound concepts within.
âIf you cultivate it to the maximum level, you can refine the stars in the universe and utilize their energy.
âYoung friend, you need to continue cultivating and improving yourself.â
was Immortal King Hun Tianâs most powerful legacy. Even in the Celestial World, it was considered a peerless legacy and was enough to tempt countless supreme powers.
This was the Immortal King sutra, after all. It possessed boundless Dao concepts.
If one could cultivate the
to the Greater Mastery stage, they could attract the energy of the stars to enhance themselves.
When cultivated to completion, one could have absolute control over the energy of the stars.
This was a power that belonged to the natural world. It was mighty and terrifying to the extreme.
And there was even a higher level beyond that, but no one had been able to reach that transcended level.
It was rumored that if one could cultivate to that transcended level, they could merge completely with the entire universe.
Immortal King Hun Tian was very excited to see that Shen Tian had such formidable innate talent.
Shen Tian was âtheirâ descendant, after all.
If Shen Tian could bring glory to his
, he would also benefit from the limelight.
This was why Immortal King Hun Tian tried to encourage Shen Tian to improve himself further.
Shen Tian was taken aback. He didnât realize the
had so many profound layers to it.
And it was true that he felt that he hadnât cultivated the
The Universe Stars Map not only possessed the Heavenly Dao concepts, but it was like a whole new world, deep and profound.
The universe was so expansive. How could one possibly decipher it all within such a short period of time?
He had just deciphered the few most powerful techniques. There was still a lot to learn.
Shen Tian cupped his fists in respect. âThank you, Senior, for your advice. I will go to cultivate now!â
Immortal King Hun Tian nodded with satisfaction. âGo on then! But no need to be too anxious. You still have a lot of time!â
He also wanted to see just how much Shen Tian could achieve!
Shen Tian once again settled down into cultivation mode to continue comprehending the Universe Stars Map.
Soon, he felt like he was immersed in the Universe Stars Map and in the boundless sea of stars.
The surrounding star clusters shimmered with a dazzling divine light.
Shen Tian was filled with joy at the sight. He activated his Heavenly Cycle Divine Guidance to absorb the power of the stars.
In the blink of an eye, limitless starlight descended like a heavenly waterfall.
Rays of light shot out everywhere, entering his body.
Shen Tianâs cultivation level increased thanks to the star power continuously.
His body also started to evolve, but a longer period of time was needed before the changes would be apparent!
49 years passed since Shen Tian had entered into his cultivation state!
After being still and silent in cultivation for so long, Shi Tianzi finally made some movement.
His body shuddered violently as his aura surged and churned wildly.
It looked like Shi Tianzi was about to suffer from Qi Deviation!
A stern voice rang out like a Heavenly Dao bell, full of power and heart-stirring authority.
Shi Tianzi spat out fresh blood as he woke up from his stillness.
His face was pale, and his aura feeble. He had clearly been gravely injured.
It was like he had been lost in a boundless sea of stars, unable to find his way.
Qi Deviation was a terrifying thing. Even after being summoned out of it, he was still in a dazed state.
Nonetheless, Shi Tianzi soon collected himself. Relief flashed across his eyes.
If Immortal King Hun Tian had not called him, he might have been completely lost in the galaxy of stars.
âThank you, Senior Hun Tian!â Shi Tianzi was very grateful.
Immortal King Hun Tianâs image appeared, and he waved. âNo problem!â
âYou were able to decipher the
to this level in just 49 yearsâ time.
Immortal King Hun Tian was shocked. He didnât know that he would encounter such promising prodigies this time.
He could feel that Shi Tianzi had also managed to cultivate the
to the Greater Mastery stage.
He was not as ridiculously powerful as Shen Tian, who managed to learn all of the peerless techniques. Nevertheless, Shi Tianzi still managed to master the Heavenly Cycle Divine Guidance, the Heavenly Divine Fist, and part of the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.
This was no ordinary level of talent.
Shi Tianzi shook his head with a bitter smile on hearing Immortal King Hun Tianâs words. âI am too stupid. I canât understand the final technique!â
He could feel that the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation was the most powerful technique.
No matter how he tried, he could not cross the final barrier of understanding.
Shi Tianzi had a lot of pride and never backed down from a challenge. Thus, he had tried to force his way through.
The more anxious one was, the easier it was to make mistakes.
He had nearly gotten lost in the boundless universe and almost suffered Qi Deviation.
Immortal King Hun Tian shook his head. âNo worries, everything is destined.
âSince you were unable to decipher it, it means that you are not fated.
âIf you try to force it, you might end up losing more than you gained.â
Shi Tianzi shuddered as a strange light flashed across his eyes.
Immortal King Hun Tianâs words echoed endlessly in his mind as his state of mind underwent a gradual evolution.
Understanding soon dawned upon Shi Tianzi, and he let go of the knot in his heart.
He cupped his hands in respect. âThank you, Senior, for your guidance. I understand now.â
Even though he was unable to understand that technique, he was still Shi Tianzi. He was still a young paragon.
Immortal King Hun Tian nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Shi Tianzi understand so quickly.
Given this level of maturity and abilities, this kid will achieve great things in the future.
Imparting my legacy to this kid is no loss to me!
Shi Tianzi scanned his surroundings. He wanted to see how Shen Tianâs cultivation was progressing.
He saw that Shen Tianâs eyes were still tightly closed and his palms facing the sky. He was still in cultivation mode.
âBrother Shen has not finished his cultivation?â
Shi Tianzi scratched his head in puzzlement.
Given Brother Shenâs talents, how can he have not finished his cultivation after so many years?
Donât tell me⊠Brother Shenâs enlightenment ability is inferior to mine!?
No way⊠How can that be⊠Impossible!
But Brother Shen is still cultivating. So it must be true!
Does this mean that I have beaten Brother Shen in terms of the ability to gain enlightenment?
Shi Tianzi was overjoyed. He puffed out his chest proudly like the indomitable young paragon that he was.
Before meeting Shen Tian, he had been touted as the most powerful prodigy across the five regions. As a result, Shi Tianzi had always been very arrogant and looked down upon his peers.
After being defeated by Shen Tian, he finally realized that there would always be someone stronger than you!
Although he had suffered a setback, Shi Tianzi had not lost his competitive drive.
He had always wanted to beat Shen Tian in something, but he had never gotten the chance.
Especially after spending some time with Shen Tian, he had realized that the disparity between them seemed to grow wider and wider.
It was basically impossible for Shi Tianzi to beat Shen Tian at anything!
He was so emotionally distraught by the revelation that he wanted to give up.
But now, he had chanced upon this scene. He had already woken up, but Shen Tian had not. Wasnât the conclusion to this obvious?
This clearly shows that my enlightenment abilities are more powerful than Brother Shenâs!
Haha, Brother Shen, please excuse me. I have finally beaten you at something!
Shi Tianzi was feeling very smug. He felt that he had beaten Shen Tian.
Immortal King Hun Tian was puzzled by the wicked smile on Shi Tianziâs face.
What kind of weird thoughts are going through this kidâs mind? He canât even control the expressions on his face?
Young people these days. They get too many ideas in their heads.
Immortal King Hun Tian had no idea what Shi Tianzi was thinking about, but he had to interrupt.
In case he is having impure thoughts! It will be harmful to his body!
Immortal King Hun Tian spoke in a mild tone. âDo you mean that kid? He already achieved Greater Mastery of the
Shi Tianziâs face stiffened. His eyes widened in disbelief. âWhat? 46 years ago!?â
Shi Tianzi was dumbstruck. He felt a buzzing in his head.
He had spent a total of 49 years, while Shen Tian had already mastered it 46 years ago.
Didnât this mean that he had only spent three years cultivating the
to the Greater Mastery stage?
Damn, what kind of freak is Brother Shen?
Why did I try to compete with an enlightenment freak?
Yes, yes. I must have been groggy after just waking up from my cultivation. I was thinking nonsense!
Shi Tianzi had personally experienced cultivating the
. He knew how difficult it was. It would have been impossible for him to reach the Greater Mastery stage within 49 years if not for this conducive environment.
Yet, Shen Tian had only taken three!
Three years compared to 49 years. The disparity was just too great!
Shi Tianzi shook his head with a bitter smile. âCompared to Brother Shen, I am like a piece of useless trash.â
Immortal King Hun Tian rolled his eyes and groaned inwardly.
Like a piece of trash? You are a piece of trash!
But of course, you are not the only one. In front of that kid, all the prodigies in the Celestial World are just useless trash.
Of course, Immortal King Hun Tian would never voice out those thoughts. He was worried about hurting this kidâs self-esteem.
Immortal King Hun Tian pretended to console him. âChild, donât be disheartened.
âWith your talents, you are already considered one of the top practitioners in the Celestial World. As long as you donât compete with a certain someone, you are considered very powerful!â
Shi Tianzi took a deep break and said in a grave voice. âThank you, Senior. Donât worry, I am fine.â
He knew that Immortal King Hun Tian was just trying to console him, but Shi Tianzi did not mind. Instead, his determination was once again fired up. âCatching up to Brother Shen has always been my goal. The more powerful he is, the more motivated I am!
âI have to trouble Immortal King to send me away from this world. I need to go find more fortuitous opportunities and try my best to catch up to Brother Shen!â
It was no longer advisable for Shi Tianzi to continue cultivating in his current state.
After all, he had already spent 49 years and could not advance any further. He had even nearly suffered Qi Deviation.
Even if he continued cultivating, it would be useless.
Instead, it would be better for him to set this aside for the moment and go find other fortuitous opportunities.
The Supreme Sky Tree World would remain open for 100 years, and half of those years were already gone. He could not afford to waste any time.
Immortal King Hun Tian nodded. âAlright, I will send you out then.
âYou have extraordinary abilities, and I believe that you will be able to complete the cultivation of the
in just another 100 years.â
was already imprinted in Shi Tianziâs mind. He would be able to cultivate even without the Universe Stars Map. He would just need to spend a bit more time.
Shi Tianzi already had the foundation, so it should not be too difficult.
Shi Tianzi cupped his fists respectfully toward Immortal King Hun Tian. âWhen Brother Shen wakes up, may I trouble Senior to inform him that I will be waiting for him at Jixia Academy?â
Shi Tianzi wanted to take this time to improve himself as much as possible. Even if he couldnât catch up to Shen Tian, he wanted to narrow the disparity between them as much as possible.
Immortal King Hun Tian nodded. âGo on then!â
He waved, and Shi Tianziâs figure disappeared from the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
Immortal King Hun Tianâs eyes landed on Shen Tian, and he muttered to himself. âThis kid has been in silent cultivation for so many years. I wonder how his enlightenment is coming along.â
At their level, a casual seclusion could easily last 100 or 1,000 years.
As a result, Immortal King Hun Tian was not surprised.
His image gradually faded away, leaving Shen Tian alone in that space.
At this very moment, Shen Tian was completely immersed in his silent cultivation.
During this period, he had been analyzing the Universe Stars Map, his divine consciousness wandering across the boundless sea of stars.
Up until this moment, Shen Tian finally realized just how many more hidden secrets were inside this Universe Stars Map.
It looked like an artifact, but it was more like a whole new world encompassing the entire universe and stars.
Through this deciphering, Shen Tian entered a man-and-nature-as-one state, forgetting everything else!
As a result, his understanding of the
became increasingly deeper.
This was not just a great place for enlightenment, but it was also a wonderful place for cultivation.
Heavenly Cycle Divine Guidance
, Shen Tianâs speed of cultivation shot up to over 1,000 or even 10,000 times that in the outside world.
While enjoying the cleansing energy of endless starlight, his cultivation level and aura rapidly enhanced.
Shen Tian recalled something, and an idea sprouted in his mind!
He hollered, and a silver-white light shot out of his body, landing in his hands.
It was a silver sword fetus swirling with chaotic aura. It looked extraordinary, but it was rather ugly. It was filled with dents and cracks and didnât look like a sword fetus at all.
This was his life weapon, the Chaotic Sword Fetus.
This was the life weapon that Shen Tian had refined using the Chaotic Tinder Forging Art.
Unfortunately, he had been busier lately, so he had forgotten about this sword fetus.
This was the perfect opportunity to refine this Chaotic Sword Fetus to look more beautiful. Otherwise, it would be rather embarrassing to draw out a sword that looked like that.
Shen Tian executed some hand seals to attract the power of the stars, gathering it to form star fire.
The star fire burned and radiated with a powerful aura. Even the surrounding fabrics of space were incinerated.
Shen Tian waved and placed the Chaotic Star Sword into the star fire to refine. He kept thinking about how his Executing Heaven Sword looked like in his mind.
He muttered to himself, âI hope that I can refine it to look better this time.â
As the star fire burned and continuously refined this silver sword fetus, it radiated with a dazzling divine light.
The light was spectacular and blinding.
The silver sword fetus evolved under the continuous refinement of the star fire. But a period of time would be needed before any changes would be apparent.
After nine days and nine nightsâŠ
The refinement finally ended. The original sword fetus had now been transformed into a three-feet-long silver sword.
The sword was streaked with a silvery shimmer and very light and nimble. It felt very smooth and agile.
Countless divine runes were carved onto the sword as if a chaotic star map had been engraved on it. It looked very wondrous and mystical.
Shen Tian was delighted. He had finally completed refining this sword.
Holding the silver sword, Shen Tian felt like he had become one with this weapon.
This was his life weapon, and it could grow stronger together with him. He would overcome endless challenges with this sword.
And Shen Tianâs powers had improved tremendously from before. So after refinement, this swordâs aura was indomitable.
Shen Tian couldnât resist testing this newly-refined weapon.
He waved his sword, and blade light rippled through the skies. A beam of silver sword light shot out.
The sword beam penetrated the highest levels of the skies as if wanting to cut through the stars in the galaxy!
Wherever the sword light made contact, the fabrics of space ripped. Even the Heavenly Dao arrays were destroyed, and laws of nature were disrupted.
Shen Tian was shocked at the sight.
This swordâs power was far beyond that of the Executing Heaven Sword. It had reached supreme-grade Immortal artifact level!
This sword possessed the power to destroy Heavenly Dao arrays. It was definitely an indomitable divine weapon.
Most importantly, this sword would continue to increase in power as Shen Tianâs own abilities grew!
Shen Tian was very excited. He didnât expect to gain such a great bounty.
Not only had he obtained the
, but he had even refined this invincible divine weapon.
Shen Tianâs eyes burned. âShall I call you Chaotic Star Sword?â
His chaotic aura and star fire refined this sword. It possessed tremendous power.
It appeared to like the name which Shen Tian had given it.
âI am glad you like it!â
Shen Tian smiled and kept the Chaotic Star Sword.
Like the Executing Heaven Sword, the Chaotic Star Sword could be melded back into Shen Tianâs body.
But one was in his lungs and the other in his dantian so that the two didnât clash.
After storing this Chaotic Star Sword, Shen Tian turned his attention to the Purple Mansion Spiritual World.
He was stunned by the sight which appeared before him.
The small world in his body had expanded at an astonishing pace.
Shen Tianâs Purple Mansion Spiritual World had already been bigger than normal.

Then his Chaotic Nascent Soul had split heaven and earth and stabilized the world, transforming it.
But previously, Shen Tianâs small world had been just about 1,000 miles wide.
Now, it was nearly 10,000 miles in size, and it looked like it was still expanding rapidly.
It was becoming bigger and wider!
