Chapter 212: Most Reasonable Appraisal!

As Ao Bing’s voice echoed, a black egg made of dragon scales jumped out of Shen Tian’s backpack. It was the dragon egg that Ao Bing had turned into.

A black figure appeared above the dragon egg. The figure resembled Ao Bing, but she was much younger as compared to when Shen Tian had encountered her on the dragon skeleton. Back then, Ao Bing was an over 20-year-old mature lady.

Meanwhile, the female figure hovering over the dragon egg was a young girl around six to seven years old in a black dress. She put her hands onto her waist and pouted her mouth, aggrieved. She looked just like a child whose snacks had been snatched.

What rendered Shen Tian speechless was that although her height and appearance had decreased, her chest had not changed at all.

He could not help but exclaim inwardly, Her small body is enduring a pressure that it should not endure!

Shen Tian recalled a certain little fox while looking at Ao Bing’s hovering figure. If Ao Bing changed to a red dress, carried a gourd behind her, and changed her pink dragon horns to fox ears, then she would look extremely similar to Yaya[1].

Shen Tian was just a little curious as the Mother Vine’s abilities had seemed to decrease greatly after undergoing Nirvana. Thus, he was curious whether Ao Bing’s strength had also weakened after undergoing Nirvana and becoming an egg. If that was the case, would he have a chance to overpower her?

Shen Tian imagined that he might be able to ride her. After all, being a Dragon Knight and a hero was the ultimate dream of many men!

…

While Shen Tian was letting his imagination run wild, Ao Bing and Kong Meng had already started arguing.

Ao Bing put her left hand to her waist while her right hand was pointing at Kong Meng. She snorted before saying, “You brat from the Peacock race, Shen Tian is mine! I have already formed a contract with him. He is the human partner of our Black Dragon Island. He can’t form a contract with your Peacock race!”

Although Kong Meng seemed to be cold and indifferent, as Southern Border’s strongest prodigy, she definitely had her own pride!

She coldly sized up Ao Bing. “A Dragon Lady from North Sea Black Dragon Island? Such a coincidence.

“However, Brother Shen forming a Dragon God contract with the Black Dragon Island does not affect his ability to form a contract with my race.

“You have to know that in that battle 10,000 years ago, numerous peerless geniuses had formed contracts with multiple races. Some individuals had even formed with the six races!”

After finishing, Kong Meng looked at Shen Tian and said calmly, “Brother Shen has multiple extraordinary items, so he is fit to cultivate the Five Elements Dao and Five Elements Mighty Prowess!

“I can guarantee that besides the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique, there is not a second technique that could be more suitable to Brother Shen besides the Rainbow Divine Light.

“If Brother Shen is willing, I have the confidence to convince my race’s elders to make the exception for me to become Brother Shen’s second contract partner.

“Given Brother Shen’s strength, talent, and graceful demeanor, I do not mind sharing the contract with the Dragon race.”

It was self-evident that Kong Meng had completely acknowledged Shen Tian, a Foundation Establishment cultivation, as he had shattered her Rainbow Divine Light barrier.

If not so, no matter how handsome Shen Tian was, Kong Meng would be unwilling to form a contract with him. After all, a demon forming a contract with a human partner was the utmost form of respect the demon race showed the human race.

If the human partner formed an additional contract with another demon—although there was nothing wrong in theory—it didn’t mean that divine beasts didn’t have their pride!

Since ancient times, only peerless geniuses had the qualifications to obtain the few great divine beasts’ acknowledgment, sharing the contracts.

After taking into consideration Shen Tian’s demeanor, bearing, strength, and talent, Kong Meng felt he was definitely qualified to receive such a treatment.

Unfortunately, even though the Peacock Princess agreed, the little post-Nirvana Dragon Lady disagreed.

The little Ao Bing in her black dress snorted and said, “I would never agree to let Shen Tian form a contract with you too.”

Kong Meng scoffed. “Sister Dragon, if you’re unwilling, then just break off the contract with Brother Shen. A contract between a human and a demon is all of one’s accord. Who can force you?”

Ao Bing snarled, “You!”

Kong Meng smiled, and her Rainbow Divine Light swayed slightly behind her. “You haven’t even come out of your egg, but you’re already following others and signing the Dragon God contract? Little Sister Dragon, are you even an adult yet?

“Beware, if your family members learn that you formed a contract without letting them know, they’ll spank your buttocks!”

Ao Bing was boiling with rage. Her voluptuous chest moved up and down vigorously, but she quickly calmed herself down.

She looked at Kong Meng with a confident smile. “Hey, are all female Peacocks underdeveloped?

“I see that you’re already an adult, but why are you still flat? Although those who know you are aware that you are the Peacock Princess, those that don’t know you might think you’re the Peacock Prince!

“If you were to disguise as a man, you wouldn’t even need to wrap your chest, right?”

As Ao Bing spoke, she purposely pushed out her chest. “Even if I turned younger due to Nirvana, I am still bigger than you!”

Boom!

Critical Hit

–999,999!

An extremely dense killing intent enveloped the whole Holy Dragon Valley.

Kong Meng gnashed her teeth, and the Rainbow Divine Light behind her spread out once again.

“I’m going to kill you!”

The female Lark demon, Bai Ling, hurriedly stopped Kong Meng. “Sister Meng, don’t be impulsive! She’s a Black Dragon.”

Southern Border’s leader was the Phoenix race, while the North Sea viewed the Black Dragon race as their leaders. They were the demon races’ two largest forces.

Kong Meng’s Peacock race might be one of the demons’ top races, but it was slightly inferior compared to the Dragon and Phoenix races.

Ao Bing regained the advantage, so she grinned and said, “Why? You’re angry already? Everything I said was only the truth.

“Adult? Haha, I became famous 10,000 years ago! Even if your father saw me, he would also need to call me Senior. The likes of you dare to be so presumptuous before me? You’re simply ignorant!”

Nirvana?

Kong Meng was momentarily stunned, but then she thought of something.

That’s right! Isn’t this Black Dragon in the egg waiting to hatch? How is she able to be this good at arguing?

She should be a dragon that had been injured heavily, so she used her Nirvana mystic art to recover. Thus, she reverted back to when she was young.

Such a situation was not rare in the cultivation world. On the contrary, it was extremely common as the fourth realm of those following the Godfiend Body Tempering path was the so-called Nirvana realm.

The Godfiend Body Tempering cultivation levels also had the seven realms, which corresponded to the seven Qi cultivation levels: Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Tribulation Transcendence, Mahayana.

The Godfiend cultivation levels were: Body Tempering, Transcendence, Golden Body, Nirvana, Mighty Prowess, Life Death Calamity, and God Realm.

The Golden Body realm was to improve one’s physical body to the degree that there were no impurities at all, training to form a Godfiend Golden Body without any weakness.

After that, the Godfiend Golden Body would form true divine power, which in turn could create divine acupoints in the cultivator’s body and store their life essence within. Once one reached such a realm, the more divine acupoints they had, the tighter the connection with their body would be.

If Nascent Soul cultivators were to be killed, their Nascent Soul could escape outside the body and snatch others’ bodies to revive.

Meanwhile, if Nirvana cultivators were sliced, they could rely on the numerous divine acupoints to forcibly connect one’s body back.

According to rumors, if one had enough divine acupoints, then a Godfiend cultivator would even be able to resurrect through a drop of blood!

Thus, it was generally known that it was challenging to kill Nirvana cultivators, and most of the time, they could only be sealed.

If this black egg was a powerful Black Dragon that had undergone Nirvana, then her origin would be frightening.

As the Peacock Princess, Kong Meng was naturally not someone with a big chest but no brains. Not to mention her chest was not big…

If she really is a powerful Black Dragon from ancient times, all the more I cannot allow her to have Brother Shen Tian all for herself!

Kong Meng became vigilant. Although the North Sea and Southern Border were the demon race’s territories, their relationship was not good.

If the North Sea Black Dragon Island had such a human partner like Shen Tian, and thus formed a friendly relationship with the human’s sacred ground, then their power would increase considerably.

As one of Southern Border’s top divine races, Kong Meng was hell-bent on not allowing the Dragon race to gain such a huge advantage.

Kong Meng smiled and said, “So you’re a senior Black Dragon that has been sealed in the Primordial Battlefield for 10,000 years. Senior, Brother Shen is so young, but you’re already 10,000 years old… How do you still have the nerve to let him ride you? Isn’t it like robbing the cradle?”

Ao Bing flew into a rage. If she was not still undergoing Nirvana, she would have already smashed Kong Meng with her black egg. She swore that after successfully undergoing Nirvana, she would definitely barge into the Peacock’s territory and beat up this brat.

You dare to scold me for being old! I’m in my prime now, got it?

Age and bust size were always killer topics.

Kong Meng smiled upon seeing Ao Bing almost burst a blood vessel.

“Brother Shen, you are this excellent, and you have the Five Elements Divine Lightning Constitution. You’re most suited to cultivate the Rainbow Divine Light.

“Also, I won’t stop you from being other demons’ partner. On the contrary, I can even introduce you! What about the little princess of the Phoenix race? Also, the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race’s—”

Before Kong Meng could finish, an angered roar interrupted her. This time it was not Ao Bing but Jin Yu who could not bear to continue listening.

“Stop!”

As someone that had lost to Qin Yundi, Jin Yu had been humbly listening to their conversation and healing himself at the same time.

The sight of Kong Meng and Ao Bing cat-fighting to become Shen Tian’s contracted beast caused Jin Yu to question himself.

Wasn’t his original intention of inviting Kong Meng to Eastern Wilderness to cause trouble to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and kidnap the Divine Firmament Saint?

Hr had actually failed to kidnap the Divine Firmament Saint back to Southern Border, meaning Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus would not be forced to head there and walk right into their trap. At the same time, Shen Tian even managed to subdue the Peacock race’s prodigy, Kong Meng.

Kong Meng was now clamoring to form a contract with Shen Tian.

One had to know that Kong Meng was the dream girl of countless Southern Border male demons!

Many avian demon geniuses had courted her but received no response at all.

However, when it came to Shen Tian, she was willing to form a contract with him even though he had already formed a contract with another female demon. She was even on intimate terms with Shen Tian.

Thus, such a strong contrast brought strong discomfort to Jin Yu, and he felt as if the world bore deep malice toward him.

What’s worse, Kong Meng also planned to introduce the Phoenix Princess to Shen Tian? As well as the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race’s princess? That was Jin Yu’s blood-related sister!

“Kong Meng, you’re going too far! You are the one that wants to form a contract, but you’re dragging others down too?”

Jin Yu’s face was filled with grief and indignation as he looked at Shen Tian. “Divine Firmament Saint, it’s either you die or I!

“I can’t unleash my full power in the Primordial Battlefield, so I’ll let you off today! Pray that you don’t meet me in the future! Or else I will tear you apart piece by piece, I swear!”

After saying that, Jin Yu instantly headed out of the Holy Dragon Valley while dragging his injured body that had yet to recover.

However, just when Jin Yu was about to fly out of the Holy Dragon Valley, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Jin Yu turned back, and his hair stood on end as he saw that Shen Tian had bent his knees slightly in a striking stance.

Shen Tian put his hands together to form a flower bud. Jin Yu was extremely familiar with such a starting pose as he had witnessed it not long ago. It was the ultimate killing technique that could shatter the Rainbow Divine Light. If it hit him, would he still have a chance to survive?

“You bast*rd! A sneak attack? What kind of man are you?”

Jin Yu was so frightened that he used all his might to flap his wings to escape the valley. Unfortunately, Qin Yundi had injured him, and his condition was already bad, not to mention Shen Tian had long locked on him.

“You’ve already threatened to kill me, and you still want to escape? I’ll kill you while you’re injured!”

As multi-colored lightning enveloped Shen Tian, countless lightning sword auras were formed within his palms.

“You’re gonna stay! Mixed Divine Lightning Swords!”

A cold voice reverberated throughout the Holy Dragon Valley, and then Shen Tian shot out the lightning sword auras in his palm.

Originally, the sword auras, which were only an inch long, grew with the wind, forming three-feet-tall black, white, red, yellow, and green swords that chased after Jin Yu.

Those were the White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal) sword aura, Azure Dragon I Divine Lightning (Wood) sword aura, Crimson Phoenix III Divine Lightning (Fire) sword aura, Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning (Water) sword aura, and Mighty Qilin V Divine Lightning (Earth) sword aura.

Although their strength was not as powerful as the Mixed Divine Lightning, the amount was definitely enough to deal with Jin Yu.

“Bast*rd! You’re going too far!”

Jin Yu burned with golden flames throughout his body and suddenly swung the saber in his hands.

The saber pierced through the air and collided with the sword auras. However, the lightning made its way through the golden saber.

Jin Yu’s hair started to stand at a speed visible to the naked eyes, and his body started to tremble while holding the saber. His body was actually emitting billowing smoke.

Kong Meng asked helplessly, “Brother Shen, the Great Golden-Winged Eagles, and the Peacocks have a good relationship. Could you please spare his life for my sake?”

Shen Tian frowned, but he still nodded. “Alright then. It’s because Fairy Kong asked me to spare you!”

Shen Tian made a hand seal, and the sword auras turned into a humongous multi-colored net and enveloped the Jin Yu whole, electrifying him until he was twitching all over.

Shen Tian gradually walked beside Jin Yu. He took a look at the other avian demon geniuses, He Wushuang, the vulture-looking man, and Bai Ling, who were standing at the side.

He Wushuang and the vulture-looking man trembled. They hurriedly turned and pretended that they did not see anything.

Meanwhile, Bai Ling’s eyes were shining. She considered asking Fairy Kong Meng to help set her up, since her Lark race could also have a human partner.

Shen Tian gradually squatted down beside Jin Yu with a bright smile. “Brother Jin, I think there’s some misunderstanding between us.”

Jin Yu was about to speak harshly, but remembering the consequences of what the previous sentence had caused, he acted decisively. He squeezed out a smile that looked even uglier than a crying face. “Yes, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

Shen Tian looked above Jin Yu’s head with a smug smile. “Since it’s all a misunderstanding, how about we discuss reconciling?”

Jin Yu swallowed his saliva. He could only feel that his whole body was burnt to a crisp due to the lightning and was even giving off a delicious scent. “How can we reconcile?”

Shen Tian smiled. “Since I was originally in seclusion, but Brother Jin forcibly barged into the mountain valley which almost caused me to suffer a Qi Deviation, then just give me some compensation for disturbing me!

“Brother Jin, you attacked Junior Brother Yundi indiscriminately, causing him to consume countless Lightning Talismans. He was injured badly too. You need to compensate for his treatment and the wasted talismans!

“In addition, you were disrespectful to our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and insulted our sect’s reputation. You need to compensate for our lost reputation!

“Also, there’s the fee for my appearance, nourishment, maintenance of the Dharma artifacts, healing pills, and reconciliation…

“Altogether… I’ll count it as 50,000,000 Spirit Stones for Brother Jin Yu!”

Shen Tian revealed a brilliant smile. “You can pay by Spirit Stones, Spirit Crystal, or Spirit Essence. Otherwise, you could use your protective battle armor, weapons, or restorative pills. I’ll appraise their price. I guarantee that I’ll be reasonable.

“If Brother Jin really does not have that many Spirit Stones on you, you can use the name of the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race to write an IOU and give me what you owe in the future.

“As long as Brother Jin gives me enough Spirit Stones, I can guarantee that you will leave this Holy Dragon Valley unscathed.

“From today onward, as long as Brother Shen is willing, you can come to find me to reminisce anytime.”

Shen Tian’s compensation price astounded Jin Yu.

,000,000 Spirit Stones? Why don’t you go and snatch that many Spirit Stones!?

F*ck no! He is robbing me in broad daylight!

Jin Yu looked at Kong Meng in resentment. “Fairy Kong Meng, are you just going to watch as our Feather race is being humiliated?”

Kong Meng said helplessly, “You already witnessed that even if I make a move, I am no match for Brother Shen.

“Brother Shen is about to become my race’s human partner, as well as an intimate comrade of my race.

“If not, Jin Yu, you would most likely not only be compensating him today. Money or your life, consider it yourself carefully!”

Seeing how Kong Meng was willing to help but was unable to, Jin Yu only felt miserable.

Aren’t the Peacock race and Golden Eagle race from the same origin? We would never abandon each other in the face of troubles!

So you’re just going to look at me being extorted?

What Kong Meng said is true as well. So what if she resisted?

The Divine Firmament Saint managed to shatter her Rainbow Divine Light and completely subdue her. How else could she fight him?

Jin Yu helplessly lowered his prideful head.

“Shen Tian, I admit defeat today!”

Shen Tian looked at Jin Yu’s halo and smiled faintly.

“Alright, then I’ll start appraising.”

He stretched out his hand to take the golden saber beside Jin Yu, then nodded. “This saber looks quite good. The price should be about 1,000 Spirit Stones. Does Brother Jin think this is reasonable?”

What? 1,000 Spirit Stones?

Jin Yu was slack-jawed.

So this is what your ‘reasonable’ appraisal means? This is a f*cking superior-grade Spirit artifact, a superior-grade Spirit artifact! No matter how cheap it is sold, it will cost at least 10,000 Spirit Crystals, which is 10,000,000 Spirit Stones.

And you just appraised its value as 1,000 Spirit Stones? I f*cking give you 10,000 Spirit Stones, you give me 100 of them!?

Jin Yu ground his teeth and looked at Shen Tian rebelliously. “Haha, this price… is very reasonable! Brother Shen is really good at appraising an item’s value.”

Shen Tian smiled and nodded. “Naturally. That’s right, the golden-feathered robe that Brother Jin is wearing. If I guessed correctly, it should be a limited edition, right? I can appraise its price at around 10,000 Spirit Stones. What do you think, Brother Jin?”

Splat!

Jin Yu was about to vomit blood from anger.

WTF do you mean 10,000 Spirit Stones? This is the Great Golden-Winged Eagles’ Feather Robe! It’s a supreme-grade Spirit artifact that was created with a Soul Formation Great Golden-Winged Eagles’ dropped feathers. And you f*cking appraised its price as 10,000 Spirit Stones?

Wouldn’t your conscience be pricked? No, do you even have a conscience?

I see! You’re not the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s disciple! You should be Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ disciple!

Shen Tian was still conducting his appraisal.

Meanwhile, Jin Yu had already suffered a nervous breakdown!
