“Why not call ourselves Heavenly Courts!?”

Shen Tian stumbled over his foot and nearly fell off the vessel.

Well, well, well, fancy someone as simple-minded as Xiong Meng being able to come up with this name. But doesn’t he know some names should not be meddled with?

After all, this organization is just a small, unofficial group without any real experts. How would they even dare to name themselves as the Heavenly Courts? Aren’t they scared that they may offend some unknown supreme authorities up there, then be punished with all kinds of unlucky events?

Shen Tian had always thought that the name Celievers was already too high-key, and it would invite unnecessary attention and hatred to him. Yet now, the ideas suggested were even more exaggerated.

From Celievers to Heavenly Courts... What? Is this like a free and unlimited ‘upgrade’ for your mobile phone’s data plan?!

With fans like that, how could he not offend others!?

Heavenly Courts, indeed. I will say this is like a ‘Heavenly Calamity’ group!

While wiping off the drops of cold sweat from his forehead, Shen Tian finally spoke. “That’s not appropriate, it’s too high profile.”

Zhang Yunxi also agreed. “You can’t use the name Heavenly Courts. According to ancient classics, there really was a Heavenly Courts in the Primordial Age. Even though it no longer exists, a lot of the sacred grounds and grotto-heavens we see now are still somewhat related to that place.”

Shen Tian was surprised.

So there really was a Heavenly Courts in the Primordial Age of this world? Could it be that a Celestial Thearch who ate all things except for human beings really existed then?

Zhen Zhijia commented, “Yeap, I don’t think Heavenly Courts is suitable. Why don’t we change the name of Master Celestial to Master Heavens instead? We can just name ourselves as the Helivers, can’t we?”

Liu Taiyi pouted at that suggestion. “I think it’s alright to address Master Celestial as Master Heavens, but Helievers doesn’t sound good.

“From what I see, it’s because Master Celestial is favoring us. That’s why we can enjoy such great fortuitous opportunities and change our fates. Why not use the name Fates as our group name?

“Our Master Heavens will head the Fates group, and if he favors you, you can be granted fortuitous opportunities, which will allow you to change your fate! What do you make of this name, Shopkeeper Song?”

Liu Taiyi threw Shopkeeper Song a smug look after he finished.

How could Shopkeeper Song take that lying down? He could sense Liu Taiyi was trying to challenge him for the position of Master Celestial’s greatest bootlicker from miles away!

Hehehe, let me show you what the true skill of sucking up to Master Celestial is. Or else, you young lads won’t know who you should respect!

After a few moments of silent contemplation, Shopkeeper Song spoke. “Master Heaven’s real name is Shen Tian.

“In my opinion, this is such a wonderful name. If you flip the two words around, it will sound like Tian Shen1. This should be the most respectable term in the whole world!

“Why don’t we call our group the Deities group? Master Heavens favors us, and a deity protects us. Isn’t it awesome!”

Shen Tian’s mouth couldn’t stop twitching.

What, Deities!? Shopkeeper Song, did you also belong to my original world and transmigrated here?

Why don’t you just name us as the superhero alliance, Avengers? Just because I wear a Black Rhino Armor and use a Purple Golden Hammer, so I should cosplay Iron Ma—nope, should I say, the Iron-Lightning Man character?

Then since all of you have green halos above your heads, which reflect green light all over your bodies, you can become Hulks!?

Besides, isn’t the name Deities group even flashier? Aren’t you all not scared that one day, the real deities will come down and crush all of us?

Shen Tian felt resigned and cursed silently. Finally, he spoke up. “Let’s call it the Favored Ones group!”

His idea was that he hoped to be the ‘favored one’ by the Heavens, to grow a darker shade of green halo, and then red halo soon.

He could just imagine how he might end up being targeted like crazy by all the true disciples at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. After all, who wouldn’t get jealous of him for becoming the Saint and having such a group of fanatic followers around him all the time?

What if we run into some danger next time, and some of them decided to use me as a sacrifice to Heavens?! It’s better to use a low-key group name!

Yes, that’s it. The idea is to sound as low key as it can get!

“Great name!”

Shen Tian turned his head and saw that this response came from Shopkeeper Song. He was so eager to please Shen Tian that he made this exclamation almost at the moment Shen Tian finished his words.

“Master Heavens, I can totally understand you!” Shopkeeper Song’s face flushed red with excitement as he continued. “You name our group as the Favored Ones because you believe we are being blessed by Heavens. But actually, we are blessed by you. The former and the latter are similar. Are you trying to tell us that you look upon yourself as the Heavens? How ambitious of you!”

Shen Tian’s fists clenched up involuntarily. To be honest, he was deeply questioning the Heavens now.

Why doesn’t it send down some lightning and strike these imbeciles to their deaths?!

I am not even sure if I can see you guys as normal human beings. All of you are living lightning conductors, ready to make the Heavens come and punish me!

With followers the likes of you, who needs enemies? Will I ever need to worry that I cannot become the sole enemy of all cultivators in this world!?

Just when this idea flashed past Shen Tian’s mind, a strike of lightning really broke out from the skies and struck Shopkeeper Song accurately.

Shopkeeper Song became charred in the next moment. His hair turned messy, and there was even smoke coming out of it.

Zhang Yunxi commented with an expressionless face, “Mind your words. One cannot afford to offend the Heavens. Even if you like to court death, don’t implicate Saint Shen Tian. What you endured today is just a small punishment. Once you become the sacred ground’s disciples, never speak like that again!”

Zhang Yunxi shot cold stares at the others.

Imagine the esteemed Saint being in the company of such bootlickers all day long. What would others make of it? This was highly unacceptable.

In order to hold on to the Saint’s position, it was best to mix around talented senior brothers and sisters. From their interaction, both the Saint and the said disciples could improve and attain greater heights.

Aish, as his Senior Sister, I guess I have to always be by Junior Brother Shen Tian’s side and supervise his cultivation progress. Otherwise, I can’t imagine how his cultivation levels may be affected if he continues mixing around with such bootlickers!

To be honest, Zhang Yunxi quite regretted getting these people to join the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

Although they possessed the Divine Lightning Origin and were more suited to join the sacred ground, their states of mind were really too inferior.

They only know how to suck up to people. But what use is that?! Can they get stronger by this? Worse, what if they lead Junior Brother astray?!

As the flying vessel sped forward, the surroundings blurred into a flurry.

Chu Longhe paced around on the vessel’s deck, and he looked like he was trying to get more money off the vessel.

Meanwhile, Liu Taiyi held a jade scroll in his hands, and he was taking down some notes in a highly organized manner.

“Today, Celievers is officially renamed as the Favored Ones. Master Celestial sees himself as the Heavens, and his ambitions are amazing.

“Brother Song is indeed my strongest enemy. Today we had a tough fight, but in the end, he figured out Master Heavens’ true intentions earlier than me.

“Should I really be accepted into the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground in the future, I need to remember that Master Heavens doesn’t like being too high-key. I must be humble and praise him in an inconspicuous manner.

“That’s when Master Heavens is around, though. When he’s not around, I still need to help him publicize more.

“Then, Master Heavens’ name will be spread to every corner of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. He will be touched by my actions then.

“That time will be the moment when I, Liu Taiyi, can overpower Shopkeeper Song! I will become the central force of the group!”

As Liu Taiyi continued his note-taking, he became more excited and scribbled away furiously.

Meanwhile, Zhen Zhijia and Xiong Meng were both puking at the sides of the vessel as they were both airsick.

Shen Tian had returned to his cabin and started cultivating again—with Zhang Yunxi supervising by the side.

“Now that you are our Saint, you will meet lots of challenges in the future.” Zhang Yunxi looked calmly at Shen Tian and continued. “As such, you need to buck up and become more powerful as fast as you can. The last time before we parted, I left a copy of the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique for you. Have you tried cultivating it?”

Is she probing if I have successfully cultivated the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique?

Shen Tian couldn’t help but feel a little tensed up at Zhang Yunxi’s question.

Nope, now is definitely not the time to let Senior Sister know that I have already successfully cultivated the IX Divine Lightning (Water) skills.

After all, the outstanding usually bear the brunt of the attack. Only when I have enough stuff to back me up, then I can be more relaxed.

Yeap, it’s better to let everyone believe that I am a lousy cultivator. Only then will I be able to progress in peace!
