Chapter 684 - Directly Becoming a Heavenly Being (2/2)

The lightning dissipated.

A black-haired man seemingly in his thirties, who was robust like a bodybuilder, sat there with his legs crossed. Chen Fan, Chen Gexin and him were very much alike; he was apparently the younger version of Chen Huaian.

“He was born again!” Qian Yexue mumbled.

A cultivator had to risk his life to become an Earth Level Deity! There were many large sects that had thousands of years of history in the Realm of Kunxu but they only had a few Earth Level Deities. Even potential cultivators like herself couldn’t guarantee that they could achieve that. Witnessing this transformation, she finally realized how hard it was to become an Earth Level Deity and was in awe of Chen Fan at the same time.

“Xiao Fan, has grandpa entered the Connate Level?”

Fang Qiong was surprised.

“Not yet. His Connate Spirit Body was just completed. Now he needs to break through the Gate of Connate and merge with his Soul Energy to become a Connate Being,” Chen Fan said as he narrowed his eyes.

Those who ate the Thunder Fruits were mostly cultivators who had been stuck at the last step before breaking through the Gate of Connate for centuries, which even included many Mortal Deities and top beasts. They had gathered enough energy and experiences but they needed a stepping stone like the Thunder Fruits to help them complete the last step.

But to push an old Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivator into the Connate Level was ten times more difficult.

“Body, vitality, Immortal Will, merge! Open the Gate of Connate!”

Chen Fan flipped his palm and smacked the air.

“Boom!”

A myriad bolts of lightning came out from Chen Huaian’s body.

Chen Fan turned those lightnings into True Essence, which filled Chen Huaian’s body and organs. Then, Chen Huaian’s Divine Soul also absorbed energy from the Thunder Fruit and transformed into a golden Divine Soul.

Under Chen Fan’s control, everything started merging into one, becoming an Essence Core. This was originally the process used before entering the Golden Core Level. When all the energy gathered at one point, an “Immortal Divine Core” would be created.

“Bang!”

After that, the golden Divine Soul hopped out of his head with the power of the Thunder Tribulation around it and rays of light shone in all directions. At that moment, Chen Huaian felt a boundless sea of Essence Qi.

The power of the world was so vast that his soul got lost.

But with decades of experience, Chen Huaian soon got himself back together. A golden thunderbolt then shot from his head into the sky. The Spirit Qi within ten miles gathered and formed a cloud above him.

“He’s really become an Earth Level Deity?”

Qian Yexue was stunned.

Chen Fan immediately cast several Dharma Spells to cover the surrounding sky view. Otherwise, the world would know that there was one more Connate Being in the North Qiong Sect, exposing their trump card.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

Chen Huaian knew that too, so he immediately retrieved his Divine Soul and cleared the clouds above him.

When he opened his eyes, they were both azure in color with two thunderbolts inside. They were apparently the Azure Lightning Eyes, which could paralyze any creature.

“Boom!”

Then, Chen Huaian got up and walked out of the cliff.

His white outfit was fluttering in the wind and he was standing in the air like a Deity.

Directly becoming a Heavenly Being!

What happened on East Mountain was kept between Chen Fan, Chen Huaian, Qian Yexue and Fang Qiong. It was the biggest secret of the North Qiong Sect! After Chen Huaian became a Connate Cultivator, he could protect the sect and Chen Fan could look for the Path of Heaven to leave the planet without any concerns.

“With grandpa and the support from China and Ye Qincang, I guess nothing can harm the North Qiong Sect, other than the Realm of Kunxu and several historical sects,” Chen Fan thought.

Chen Huaian’s talent was beyond Chen Fan’s imagination. Once he entered the Connate Level, he had consecutively initiated three Divine Powers. Together with the Thunder King Body and the strong battling power, he could totally compare to an experienced Earth Level Deity.

Chen Fan found a Thunder Art, which was an art from a sect in the universe, for Chen Huaian to cultivate. Although it wasn’t as powerful as a Divine Art or a Sacred Art, it matched with Chen Huaian’s const.i.tution.

“After becoming a Heavenly Being, I finally realize why Xiao Fan wants to leave the planet. This is indeed a giant cage and it’s so hard to make further progress here! Don’t worry, Xiao Fan. I’ll take care of the family.”

Chen Huaian’s energy was getting stronger day by day.

He was indeed a talent and was even more suitable for Immortal Cultivation than Qian Yexue and Xuan Luo.

“All right.”

Chen Fan nodded. He was planning to leave for the Path of Heaven after meeting his old friends and spending some extra time with his parents and Fang Qiong.

Then, Yu Wenjin suddenly came.

“Master, Lin Weiwei contacted me and said our high school cla.s.smates would like to have a gathering. Do you want to go?”
