Chapter 245: The Powerful Shen Wushen

Chapter 245: The Powerful Shen Wushen

Today, the Divine Radiance Sect was bustling with excitement.

Renowned Divine Infant Cultivators from the Great Shang Kingdom had gathered, all drawn by the extraordinary invitation sent by the Divine Radiance Sect.

After all, the age of the Divine Infant mentioned in the invitation was astonishingly young, even for the Great Shang Kingdom and the Hundred Nations.

There had never been a Divine Infant Cultivator this young, not even in the Eastern Lands.

The breakthrough of Qi Yuan at Rainbow Peak to the Divine Infant stage left these Divine Infant Sages puzzled.

At this moment, a group of Divine Infant Sages had assembled, discussing the matter animatedly.

Venerable Wudian sat on a golden chair, his arms resting on a golden lotus on the chair, his bare feet extended, and his posture far from dignified. He spoke in a deep, resonant voice, "What do you all think? Is Qi Yuan's breakthrough to the Divine Infant stage at Rainbow Peak real or fake?"

"Even if it's true, I wouldn't believe that he achieved it at the age of twenty," said Tea Language Sage, narrowing his eyes. "Perhaps it's an old demon possessing someone else's body!"

Tea Language Sage was at the mid-stage of the Divine Infant realm and was a wandering cultivator. Among the wandering cultivators of the Great Shang Kingdom, he was the strongest after the death of the Black Chicken Old Demon.

"It's hard to believe that someone could break through to the Divine Infant stage at the age of twenty," said the master of the Suspended Mountain Sect, Mad Sword Sage. "But with a great opportunity or a supreme treasure, it's not impossible."

As one of the leaders of the three major sects, his words carried weight, and the Divine Infant Cultivators present nodded in agreement.

"I heard that a Purple Mansion Cultivator died in the Divine Radiance Sect," Venerable Wudian continued. "Perhaps Qi Yuan's breakthrough is related to this incident."

Upon hearing this, the Divine Infant Sages in the hall had subtle changes in their expressions.

The Red Sword Sect had been plotting against the Great Shang Kingdom and even supported the old emperor. They intended to trap and kill the disciples of various sects in the Dragon Immortal Realm.

However, recently, the Purple Mansion Cultivator from the Red Sword Sect who had caused trouble in the Divine Radiance Sect was killed by a mysterious powerful cultivator from the sect.

When the news spread, the Divine Infant Sages present were shocked.

They all went to the Ling Tian Pavilion to gather information and eventually learned that the incident at the Divine Radiance Sect was related to the Blood Robe Alliance.

At first, they didn't know what the Blood Robe Alliance was.

Later, they found out that the leader of the Blood Robe Alliance, Blood Robe Sword God, had emerged from the Hundred Nations.

His daughter had been humiliated by the Bright Moon Palace, forced to live in a doghouse. In his anger, he destroyed the Bright Moon Palace, which had dozens of Purple Mansion Cultivators.

There were even rumors that he had killed many Dark Deity Venerables.

This was a shocking revelation.

The Blood Robe Alliance was indeed established by Blood Robe Sword God.

Qi Yuan from Rainbow Peak was suspected to have a deep connection with Blood Robe Sword God.

Making this connection, everything seemed to fall into place.

Perhaps Qi Yuan was taken in by Blood Robe Sword God as his disciple, or maybe Qi Yuan was Blood Robe Sword God's own offspring.

After all, the origin of the chief disciple of Rainbow Peak in the Divine Radiance Sect was indeed mysterious.

Ruan Yixi had dominated the Great Shang Kingdom for many years, rarely venturing outside. And on one of her rare outings, she returned with a new disciple, which naturally aroused their curiosity.

"If that's the case, everything becomes easier to understand."

"The Divine Radiance Sect is indeed blessed with good fortune."

"Sigh..."

The Divine Infant Sages were lost in their thoughts, but even if they were to open their minds and dry out every drop of water within, they still couldn't imagine that Qi Yuan was the son of Blood Robe Sword God.

Because... this logic.

No wonder there were rumors that Qi Yuan, the peak seat of Rainbow Peak, referred to his master, Ruan Yixi, as his wife. Perhaps... hehe."

"Blood Robe Sword God must have been in seclusion, breaking through to the Dark Deity stage, and had no time to care for his son, so he found a foster daughter-in-law!"

These Divine Infant Sages were going wild with their imaginations.

"I never expected that the stunning beauty who overshadowed the Great Shang Kingdom, the peak seat of Rainbow Peak, would turn out to be a foster daughter-in-law!"

"These words, we must not speak of lightly!"

At this moment, Jiang Ling Su appeared, wearing a deep blue skirt with a fairy-like design. A deep black belt was tied around her slender waist, and the pleats of her skirt added a touch of elegance to her ethereal figure.

She looked slightly annoyed, her hands resting on her waist.

"These Divine Infant Sages, one by one, are so stingy. Sending such a gift..."

Although she was unhappy about being assigned as a doorkeeper for her senior brother, Jiang Ling Su took her role seriously.

Jiang Ran stood across from Jiang Ling Su, dressed in a simple and elegant manner. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior Sister, weren't you just complaining about Senior Brother Qi Yuan at Rainbow Peak?"

At Rainbow Peak, Jiang Ling Su had been constantly mocking Senior Brother Qi Yuan for his lack of understanding and his humiliating behavior.

"But now that you're the doorkeeper, you seem to be enjoying it. You're even worried that the gift is too little, sounding like a nagging wife!"

Jiang Ran's smile seemed to be at Jiang Ling Su's expense.

Indeed, Jiang Ling Su's hidden ears beneath her hair turned red, and she straightened her tall chest and said, "Senior Brother received many gifts, and as his junior sister, I might get a share too. Why shouldn't I be concerned!"

She spoke with unwavering confidence.

Jiang Ran looked at Jiang Ling Su, a hint of envy in her eyes.

Initially, they had all received top-tier evaluations, and Senior Brother Qi Yuan had chosen one of them to join Rainbow Peak.

Jiang Ran had also wished to be chosen for Rainbow Peak.

As the first disciple of the Seven Color Summit, Ruan Yixi was enigmatic, and the resources available to the two disciples were abundant.

Qi Yuan had rejected everyone, including Jiang Ling Su.

But Jiang Ling Su had the courage to step forward and request to join the Seven Color Summit.

Now, with Qi Yuan becoming the Divine Infant True Monarch of the Seven Color Summit, how could his junior sister, Jiang Ling Su, not have a prestigious status in Great Shang? Their fates had diverged since the moment they joined different sects.

Facing these Divine Infant True Monarchs, Jiang Ling Su had the audacity to speak ill of them behind their backs, claiming their gifts were insufficient. Jiang Ran, however, would never dare to do the same.

Envy stirred within her heart.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Divine Radiance Sect's Shen Wushen and Shen Zhifeng have arrived!"

At the Divine Infant Festival, all the Divine Infant Cultivators present looked up.

The sudden rise of the Shen family and the suppression of the Ji family had shocked everyone.

There were various speculations about Shen Wushen's identity and origins.

Everyone's gaze naturally turned to Shen Wushen.

He stood there in a black robe, expressionless, but just by standing, he exuded an aura that made everyone feel an overwhelming sense of power.

"He's not an ordinary Divine Infant!" The Master of the Suspended Mountain Sect, Crazy Sword True Monarch, exclaimed with a stirred expression.

He sensed a threatening aura.

The Buddhist monk, Wudian, also grew solemn.

The Divine Infants present all felt a storm was brewing.

Shen Wushen looked at the dozens of Divine Infant Cultivators on the field, his gaze calm.

His eyes were filled with intense battle intent.

Shen Wushen was originally a martial arts fanatic, seeking the ultimate path.

He had come to the various realms solely for the purpose of defeat.

He sought to refine himself through various battles, establish his foundation, and forge the most powerful primordial power.

After all, it was too easy to be defeated in the Upper Realm, but if he were to be defeated in the resource-scarce Lower Realm, he would undoubtedly gain much from his opponents.

Of course, the more important goal was to forge his own path and condense a unique primordial power.

Shen Wushen spoke, "I have come from the other end of the world, with sincerity and anticipation, seeking only a battle."

With these words, his obsession with combat was undeniable.

He directly challenged them.

The Divine Infant True Monarchs present were all stunned, glancing at each other.

An old man in the corner chuckled lightly, seemingly mocking Shen Wushen's audacity.

Others frowned, thinking Shen Wushen was arrogant.

However, Shen Wushen's next words made the Divine Infant Cultivators feel that he wasn't simply arrogant but also extremely arrogant.

"All of you, come at me together. If anyone can injure me, this pill..." He held out his hand, revealing a crystal-clear porcelain bottle.

Inside the bottle were seven pills.

All the Divine Infant True Monarchs were shocked by the sight of the pills.

"Seven Essence Yang Shen Pill, it's the legendary Seven Essence Yang Shen Pill!"

"It's not a fake, the pill's energy is captivating!"

The Seven Essence Yang Shen Pill could nourish the souls of Divine Infant Cultivators.

For late-stage Divine Infant Cultivators, consuming this pill could strengthen their souls to the point of Divine Infant Perfection, allowing them to break through to the Purple Mansion stage.

This pill could enhance the souls of Divine Infant Cultivators and increase their chances of breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage by 30%.

So, who among the Divine Infant Cultivators present wouldn't be tempted?

"Shen Wushen, are you serious?" Wudian asked, the first to speak up.

"Of course, I eagerly await someone to challenge me!" Shen Wushen replied, his black robe exuding confidence.

The other Divine Infants, upon hearing this, no longer hesitated.

"I'll join, but it's unfair to gang up on you.

However, for the sake of the pill, I'll put aside my pride and join forces with my fellow cultivators." Tea Language True Monarch also couldn't contain his eagerness.

The Master of the Suspended Mountain Sect laughed heartily, "I'll join in the fun too!"

At other times, they would have considered their reputation.

But with someone offering pills, they naturally took up the challenge.

They were confident in their abilities.

Even if they were Divine Infants from other realms, they dared to fight, let alone Shen Wushen's audacious challenge to the thirty-plus Divine Infants present.

All the Divine Infants were eager to test their mettle.

Just then, a crisp voice sounded.

"You haven't given your gift yet?" Jiang Ling Su, a doorkeeper in a green skirt, interrupted the conversation among the Divine Infants.

The Divine Infant True Monarchs turned to Jiang Ling Su, slightly stunned.

How could a mere doorkeeper be so bold?

Shen Zhifeng's eyes flashed with anger, about to rebuke her.

But Shen Wushen spoke, "This is my oversight."

With a wave of his hand, a Seven Essence Yang Shen Pill flew out of the porcelain bottle, landing in front of Jiang Ling Su amid exclamations of surprise.

"Consider this pill as a gift," Shen Wushen said.

Jiang Ling Su was momentarily stunned, quickly accepting the pill with a beaming smile.

This pill would be of great use to her senior brother, and she carefully put it away.

Even the esteemed Jiang family would find it challenging to offer such precious pills.

She felt a sense of satisfaction as if she had obtained the pills herself.

At this moment, the Divine Infant Cultivators present, led by the Withered Tree Sage, headed towards the nearby Dueling Platform.

The Dueling Platform was incredibly sturdy, and even a Divine Infant Sage would struggle to damage it within a short time.

Shen Wushen, gazing at the thirty-three Divine Infants ahead, had a determined look in his eyes, mixed with a hint of solemnity.

He took every opponent seriously, even if they were merely at the Core Formation Stage.

This was Shen Wushen's approach to cultivation.

"Fight!" Shen Wushen shouted.

The previously quiet atmosphere was suddenly shattered by his voice, awakening his bloodline as if it had been dormant.

In that instant, his aura intensified tenfold.

The Divine Infants on the platform paled slightly at the sight.

They felt as if they were facing not a Divine Infant but a War God!

"Quickly summon your Divine Infants!"

"Don't hold back on your abilities!"

The thirty-three Divine Infant Sages showed no hesitation, and none held back any longer.

Otherwise, they would have no chance at obtaining the Seven Essence Yang Shen Dan.

"Whirlwind Slash and Autumn Water!" Fierce Sword True Monarch shouted.

A giant sword appeared out of thin air, as the Suspended Mountain Sect Leader demonstrated his most powerful ability.

"Weak, too weak," Shen Wushen thought. His speed was astonishing, and even the Divine Infant Cultivators present couldn't catch a glimpse of his figure.

He extended his finger and pinched the giant sword formed by the ability, then flicked his finger.

Snap! The terrifying ability instantly dissipated.

Before Fierce Sword True Monarch could react, he was hit by an immense force and flew out, crashing to the ground and eliminated.

The other Divine Infants were shocked beyond measure.

"Too strong!"

"Not a match at all!"

"How could there be such a monster!"

At this moment, Shen Wushen moved as if he had entered a realm of nothingness, charging forward fearlessly.

Not a single Divine Infant could last more than one exchange against him.

Anyone who came into contact with him was effortlessly knocked out of the competition.

Their once-proud abilities held no power before Shen Wushen, rendering them useless.

Shen Wushen moved like a ghost among the thirty-plus Divine Infant Cultivators, eliminating one every few breaths.

The duel was exceptionally awe-inspiring.

In the eyes of the remaining disciples and elders, it was as if they were witnessing dazzling techniques, one after another, as Divine Infant Cultivators were eliminated.

Every cultivator witnessing this scene was utterly astonished.

"Too strong!"

"Is this still a Divine Infant?"

"Even those at the Purple Mansion Stage might not be this powerful!"

The cultivators present looked upon Shen Wushen as if a celestial had descended upon them.

Indeed, Shen Wushen was incredibly powerful.

One against thirty, crushing them all!

Not far away, Jiang Ling Su bit her lower lip and furrowed her brows. "Damn it, this person has no social skills. Today was clearly Eldest Senior Brother's Divine Infant Festival, but this guy stole all the limelight!"

This whispered complaint also startled Jiang Ran, who was standing beside her.

Jiang Ran looked at Jiang Ling Su, feeling a sense of disbelief.

Now... should she be thinking about stealing the spotlight?

Shouldn't she be considering... the danger posed by the Demon Desire Sect?

After all, the Demon Desire Sect and the Divine Radiance Sect had been long-standing enemies.

Now that the Demon Desire Sect had produced such an extraordinary Divine Infant, all the Divine Radiance Sect disciples sensed a hint of threat.

"Too weak, far too weak," Shen Wushen thought to himself.

A hundred breaths passed, and on the Dueling Platform, Shen Wushen stood tall and proud, having forced all the Divine Infant Cultivators off the stage.

In just a hundred breaths, he had defeated thirty-three opponents single-handedly, a perfect victory!

Disappointment flashed in Shen Wushen's eyes.

Such a battle was uninteresting, merely a warm-up.

The thirty-three Divine Infants defeated by Shen Wushen wore grim expressions.

Facing the arrogant Shen Wushen, they had been thoroughly beaten and dared not utter a word.

At this moment, Shen Zhifeng couldn't help but feel proud. She said, "My young master is the true... first Divine Infant of the Canglan Realm!

If he were to participate in the Eastern Lands Talents Chart, he would undoubtedly be the first!"

If Shen Zhifeng had said this before, the Divine Infant Cultivators present would not have believed her.

But now, with the overwhelming suppression Shen Wushen had displayed, even compared to those at the Purple Mansion Stage, he would have no issues.

If he participated in the Eastern Lands Talents Chart, the first place would undoubtedly be his.

"Kang Fulu, you're on the Eastern Lands Talents Chart. If this Divine Friend were to participate, could he take the first place?" Wu Dian the Monk asked at this moment.

Losing to the first Divine Infant of the Eastern Lands would still allow them to save face.

Kang Fulu fell silent for a moment. He hadn't expected the question to be directed at him.

He recalled the Eastern Lands Talents Battle and replied, "Those talents are far inferior to Shen Wushen!"

Indeed, even someone like Da Zhi True Monarch, who was among the top ten on the Eastern Lands Talents Chart, didn't possess such overwhelming suppression.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhifeng's face lit up with a proud smile. "If my young master is the first Divine Infant of the Canglan Realm..."
