I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 316: Kun Kun Becomes Salted Fish

Chapter 316: Kun Kun Becomes Salted Fish

Emotions churning on the inside, Kun Ming charged at full speed toward the opening in the aura barrier.

But... they were just too far away from Kun Peng island.

Hundreds of miles in the Chaotic Star Island domain was no small distance.

They were elite prodigies but still found it difficult to cross this distance in 10 breaths.

After all, the s.p.a.ce density in Chaotic Star Island was extremely high, and it was a major suppression toward all outsiders.

Even when those three had dialed up their speeds to maximum levels, they could only watch as the opening closed up again.

Duang!

Kun Ming, Er Tongtian, and Bi Xuanqing were dumbstruck as they stared at the newly-closed up opening and that unyielding aura barrier.

In this world, the most painful thing was waiting for a public bus for three hours, and it never showed up.

But just as you got impatient and left the bus stop, the bus appeared.

At that moment, Kun Ming felt that the entire Chaotic Star Island was prejudiced against him.

“Brother Kun, the aura barrier has closed up.”

Er Tongtian stared at Kun Ming begrudgingly.

You just said we should either hunker down and wait or leave earlier. What bad timing!

Leaving the aura barrier just before it opened and unable to make it back in time. But also detecting that this is such a great island.

That’s so vexing!

Leave!

But they were reluctant to miss out on such a great island.

After all, the quality of that Spirit Qi they felt just now was just too good. It must be a supreme-grade island.

If they really missed it, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Wait!

Er Tongtian and the team were also distressed by that idea.

After all this wait, asking them to wait for another three months? That was asking too much!

The other islands surrounded by thick chaotic aura usually wouldn’t open more than once every two months. This island was truly a little merciless.

Bi Xuanqing looked at Kun Ming. “Brother Kun, he who hesitates is lost. Let’s be more decisive. Leave or stay. You decide!”

Kun Ming took a deep breath. He would not be in such a dilemma if it was just a normal fortuitous opportunity.

After all, as the most powerful prodigy of the Great Void Kun race, Kun Ming had his pride. No island was worth him waiting for.

However, he really couldn’t ignore that intense instinctive desire embedded deep within his blood.

“Stay, we will stay! I am going to wait for as long as it takes. I don’t believe it won’t open again!”

Kun Ming’s hair was flying wildly as he erupted with a powerful aura, startling all the nearby beasts.

He was clearly very powerful. Although he was only at the peak Nirvana stage, he already possessed a Soul Formation cultivator’s battle prowess.

He would be considered a truly powerful pract.i.tioner across all five regions. Not just when compared to the rest of the younger generation!

He glared at the island. “I don’t believe that this lousy island will be closed for another three months!”

Well, Kun Ming finally believed it after three months.

...

The eyes of the three North Sea elite prodigies were bloodshot by the time this island reopened. One could even see signs of tears in their eyes.

Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing’s eyes were especially red.

To be honest, if not for the fact that they could not defeat Kun Ming, they would have already given that fellow a good thras.h.i.+ng.

What a jinx!

He mentioned three months, and we really waited three months?

Why don’t you talk about the three of us becoming deities then? Maybe that wish will also come true!

Of course, the two of them wouldn’t be able to defeat Kun Ming even if they joined forces. Their physical inadequacies restrained them.

There were no signs of displeasure on their faces. Neither did they dare to voice out any complaints.

“I can feel it. There are definitely treasures on this island!”

Kun Ming’s face was full of antic.i.p.ation. Before the barrier had opened, he had been worried about being wrong regarding the agitation in his blood.

But now that the barrier was opening again, Kun Ming was very sure that his instincts were right.

This island had something extremely important to him!

“Brothers, charge!”

Kun Ming hollered as he morphed into a black light, shooting straight into the aura barrier opening.

Of course, he was in his transformed body and not his original giant Kun body.

Kun Ming’s original body was just too big. It might not be able to squeeze through that tiny opening.

Even after the aura barrier opened, it was no simple feat to pa.s.s through it. Nevertheless, it was not difficult for those three elite prodigies.

The trio successfully pa.s.sed through the opening within eight breaths.

Huff!

After that exciting bit of action, the three of them landed on the beach with a sigh of relief.

“What thick Spirit Qi. It’s several times more intense than my race’s forbidden grounds!” Bi Xuanqing looked very pleased. “There must be countless precious and rare herbs in this place. Brother Kun, Brothe Er, we are going to be rich!”

Er Tongtian added happily, “I agree with Brother Bi!”

Kun Ming was also very happy, but as the most senior of the three, he felt that he must appear more serious before these two foolish juniors of his.

“Ahem, calm down. Calm down!

“You are all already several hundreds of years old. What are you getting so excited about?”

Kun Ming continued mildly. “I have waited for this island for six whole months. And this Chaotic Star Island domain has been open for only seven months.

“Going by the fact that this island only opens once every three months, I am sure no other person has explored it yet.

“The spirit herbs on this island are all ours. We have all the time in the world to collect them.”

With that, Kun Ming also smiled. This island was very big, nearly three to four times the size of a normal island.

On top of that, it possessed extremely thick Spirit Qi. According to Kun Ming’s previous two experiences in the Chaotic Star Island domain, there were definitely major fortuitous opportunities here.

Their gains from this island alone would be enough to justify their trip into the Chaotic Star Island domain!

“Brothers, you two explore the east side. I will go west. Run toward my side if you encounter any danger.”

Kun Ming drew his dual blades from his back and radiated with an extremely domineering aura.

He was not trying to take advantage of the situation by making Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing go east while he himself went west.

It was because the beasts on islands with such thick Spirit Qi were usually more powerful. Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing might not be able to handle them if they were alone.

And if the three of them moved together, it would be tricky to distribute whatever spirit herbs they found.

As a result, he would rather them split into two groups. They would be more efficient this way.

...

After confirming the exploration route, the two teams split up and went on their way.

As he progressed, Kun Ming felt very strange. This was because he could detect waves of an extremely powerful aura radiating from some hidden corner of the island.

In general, with so many powerful beasts on this island, there should also be a lot of precious spirit herbs.

But no matter how he foraged, he could not find a single herb.

Even those beasts, which also held some value, had all scattered off to hide in the shadows.

My goodness, do I look so scary? Come out!

If I can kill a few beasts, at least I won’t go back completely empty-handed!

I might look very tall and burly, but I am actually very weak. I will fall with one strike.

Come out and attack me!

Kun Ming forged on moodily. He was nearly on the brink of a mental breakdown.

What fortuitous opportunity? What spirit herbs? What treasures? They are all non-existent!

Could I have chosen the wrong direction? The west side has no treasures at all. Could they all be in the east?

This notion had just risen in Kun Ming’s mind when he suddenly heard two familiar voices. “Brother Kun, Brother Kun!”

Startled, Kun Ming raised his head. It was Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing calling him.

d.a.m.n, how did those two fellows end up in front of me?

Don’t tell me they were in front of me all this time and took away all my fortuitous opportunities?

Impossible, I saw them head east with my own eyes.

Could it be that this island’s s.p.a.ce-time continuum is messed up? You could be teleported any time?

Bi Xuanqing saw the confusion on Kun Ming’s face. He more or less knew what he was thinking about.

He said in exasperation, “The island is round. Now that we have met, it means we have completely explored its periphery.”

What, so fast?

Kun Ming was shocked. He suddenly realized that several days had already pa.s.sed.

Yes, and he remained empty-handed.

“Brothers, did you find anything on the east side?”

Bi Xuanqing shook his head in resignation. “Brother Kun, we have swept over the entire east side and only found this thing.”

He took out a blue root.

Bi Xuanqing said woefully, “If I am not wrong, this should be the root of a Sea G.o.d Black Gra.s.s. This would tempt even a Sage. But by the time we found it, its main body had already been harvested. All that’s left is this bit of root.”

Just a bit of root. It was clearly not worth anything.

Kun Ming seemed to have thought of something. His eyes turned bloodshot. “What do you mean?”

Bi Xuanqing nodded in resignation. “Someone has already been to this island. It is now a barren place.”

The corners of Kun Ming’s lips twitched. He felt a spell of dizziness.

The rare, once-every-300-years opening of the Chaotic Star Island domain and he wasted half his time on a barren island?

Who the h.e.l.l spotted this island before me!

I will skin them alive when I find out!

...

After using his Kun breathing technique, he gradually calmed himself down.

Kun Ming ground his teeth. “The Chaotic Star Island domain has only been open for seven months. How could there have been people here before us?”

Bi Xuanqing said slowly, “It is possible if they entered during the ‘wave’ opening and explored for half a month before leaving during the first official opening.”

Kun Ming shook his head madly. “No, I refuse to believe it! Let’s explore deeper. There must be some other fortuitous opportunities on this island!”

With that, Kun Ming charged into the deeper regions of the island. He could feel his blood churning.

There must be some priceless treasure in the deeper regions of this island.

Hmph, the most valuable treasures choose their owners. Who cares if someone else was here first. It will still belong to me!

Er Tongtian and Bi Xuanqing exchanged bitter smiles.

They knew that someone must have already been on this island before them.

But the aura barrier was already closed up. They could only hope that there were still some fortuitous opportunities left in this island’s deeper regions.

Otherwise, this trip would be a total loss!

Feeling his blood racing, Kun Ming dialed up his speed to the maximum.

He refused to return empty-handed. It was an insult to him. And an unbearable loss.

It’s near.

It’s becoming increasingly closer. It’s right in front of me now!

Kun Ming’s eyes sparkled. He could feel his blood continue to surge.

A ma.s.sive temple soon appeared before their eyes.

It was like it had merged into the heavens. One couldn’t help feeling awed by the sight.

This splendid temple was like a ma.s.sive beast, exuding a wild and barbaric aura.

And at the front of the temple was a huge gate.

A gold plaque hung above the door. Four mighty demonic words were carved onto it—Kun Peng Temple!

Kun Ming started trembling when he saw those four words on the plaque.

No one knew just how much this Kun Peng Temple meant to the Great Void Kun race!

To the other races, the Kun Peng Temple might be just another wonderful legend.

But to the Great Void Kun race, this was basically their second ancestral ground.

Ten thousand years ago, that Great Sage Kun Peng had been from the Great Void Kun race bloodline. And Kun Ming happened to be a descendant from the same branch as that Great Sage Kun Peng sage.

He had heard an elder mention before that their Kun Peng ancestor had stumbled upon a Kun Peng island when exploring the Chaotic Star Island domain. He had discovered a Kun Peng Temple on that island.

The treasures inside the Kun Peng Temple might have been swiped clean, but there should be a large number of precious herbs in the herb garden.

In addition, there should be a double-peaked mountain in the inner recesses of the temple.

This double-peaked mountain was imposing and magnificent.

There was a drawing of a giant Kun on the wall of one of the mountains. It possessed the profound Kun Dao. Meanwhile, on the other wall, it had a drawing of a great Peng. It possessed the profound Peng Dao.

If one could understand both the Kun and Peng Daos, one would be able to fully comprehend the Kun Peng Dao and become a true Kun Peng.

The Great Sage Kun Peng had not originally been a very outstanding cultivator. He had just been a mediocre little fish.

He had managed to rise to the top only because he had attained the Kun Peng Dao legacy, with the help of a large number of the herb garden’s herbs. From then on, he had become a terrifying figure who reigned over the five regions.

...

Perhaps he had suffered quite a bit of bullying when he was younger. This Great Sage Kun Peng hadn’t imparted the Kun Peng Dao to his own race.

Thereafter, he had defeated a Perfected Immortal during the forbidden wars, inciting the displeasure of that immortal’s allies. He had then been ambushed and attacked by a group of Perfected Immortals.

In the end, the Great Sage Kun Peng had been killed by the group of Perfected Immortals, who dismembered his body and made it into soup. It was a very tragic end.

And the Kun Peng Dao was thus ended. He had not imparted the Kun Peng Dao to the Great Void Kun race.

“Worth it. Everything was worth it!” Kun Ming was exhilarated. “So what if there are no fortuitous opportunities in the entire island? Just the fortuitous opportunity in this temple is enough!”

Bi Xuanqing and Er Tongtian seemed to have thought of something. They also looked excited.

They used all their strength to push open the Kun Peng Temple’s gate. Under Kun Ming’s lead, they charged over to the herb garden.

An intense wave of Spirit Qi surged out when they broke the seal covering the herb garden. The trio was delighted.

This thick Spirit Qi was enough to cultivate countless Sage-level herbs!

The trio surveyed the herb garden with eager eyes. It was like they could already see the bountiful harvest.

But all they saw was... empty s.p.a.ce.

Yeap, even the spirit earth had been dug up.

Kun Ming, “...”

Er Tongtian, “...”

Bi Xuanqing, “...”

At that moment, all three North Sea prodigies felt their hearts quiver.

No, their hearts were already dead!

Technically, they were just a few days late. But to those three, they felt like they had missed an entire lifetime.

...

“No, I don’t believe this!” Kun Ming felt like coughing up blood, but he refused to accept the truth. “There is still the Kun Peng double-peaked mountain. And the Kun Peng Dao!”

Kun Ming pushed his two companions aside and charged madly into the innermost section of the temple.

As expected, he discovered the double-peaked mountain.

However, what he saw was not the giant Kun frolicking in the waves or the great Peng soaring in the skies.

He only saw a Kun totally submerged in the ocean and a Peng almost completely obscured by the clouds.

That lazy demeanor. Those listless eyes. And that thick foggy aura...

Those two figures in the drawings looked like a whole bunch of people had just trampled over them. Limp and sluggish.

You wish to understand the Kun Peng Dao from these two wall drawings?

Haha, the only thing you would understand is the meaning of desolation!

...

Splat!

He was the top prodigy of his generation, reigning proud and mighty over North Sea for hundreds of years. But in the end, he was still unable to endure this impact.

He stiffened as he spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing straight to the floor.

He was like a salted fish who had lost all his dreams. He no longer had any hopes for the remainder of his life.
