Chapter 771 - Skipping a Level (2/2)
The Artifact Spirit watched Chen Fan’s progress quietly in a corner.
One month, two, three…
In a blink, half a year had pa.s.sed.
Chen Fan had disappeared during those six months as Lu Yanxue and Qi Xiu’er managed Kunxu on behalf of Chen Fan. Under their careful management, normalcy gradually returned to the Realm of Kunxu.
However, many people started to feel resentful toward Chen Fan because of the ma.s.sive amount of resources he consumed.
Each day, piles upon piles of Spirit Stones were transported into the Yuntian Palace. The place had become a veritable blackhole that would consume everything in Kunxu.
“If you don’t want my master’s protection, you don’t have to send in your tribute.”
Lu Yanxue snorted.
She then showed everyone the battle between Chen Fan and the Predators. Lu Yanxue had recorded everything using a Dharma Spell.
“Oh my G.o.d!”
The elites of Kunxu were shocked.
They were not only terrified by the predators who had slaughtered ancient sages, but also by Chen Fan’s invincibility.
“Are these recordings real?” Fire Spirit King asked incredulously.
The Artifact Spirit stepped forward and confirmed the existence of the predators and The Southern Gate of Connate. He was also relieved after finding out the reason behind his master’s absence.
Although not many people believed in Lu Yanxue, they believed in the Artifact Spirit.
He was the backbone of Kunxu, and his words were the bible.
After knowing the threat they were under, the elites of Kunxu offered everything they had to Chen Fan. Chen Fan could single handedly bring Kunxu to heel… what did they have to fend off the a.s.sault of a horde of Predators? Just one Predator could have wreaked havoc in the Realm of Kunxu, turning the peaceful land into a bloodbath.
With the nearly unlimited supply of resources, Chen Fan made colossal improvements day by day.
Five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, one million Spirit Stones, one point five million Spirit Stones…
A year later, the powerful presence hidden deep within the Yuntian Palace was palpable even from miles away. Many people felt Chen Fan had gotten as powerful as the Perfected Cultivator Yunxiao.
“Perfected Cultivator Beixuan has leveled up!”
Fire Spirit King squinted his eyes as he looked into the distance.
“His level of attainment is getting close to that of the Perfected Cultivator Yunxiao. He has reached the peak of Core Formation and is only half a step away from becoming a Sky Immortal,” another Earth Level Deity added.
Flickers of jealousy flashed in everyone’s eyes.
Chen Fan was powerful even before the improvement, but a big portion of his strength came from the Divine Powers. However, after gaining a Golden Core, he wouldn’t even need the Blade of Time to defeat Perfected Cultivator Yunxiao.
As everyone thought Chen Fan was going to pause his cultivation, he was still nowhere to be seen.
One month later, two months, three…
Two years later, the energy inside the Yuntian Palace had increased so much that it could be felt in every corner of Kunxu. A funnel cloud had formed above the palace, drawing immense amounts of energy into Chen Fan each second. What was Chen Fan doing?
Everyone was perplexed every time they looked up at the funneling cloud.
Many Earth Level Deities noticed that Chen Fan had entered a territory that was unknown to them. However, they were convinced that if Chen Fan was successful, he would become truly invincible and killing Perfected Cultivator Yunxiao would have been child’s play by then.
“Is he going to reach the Sky Immortal realm?”
The air was filled with a suspense that kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Even the Artifact Spirit watched Chen Fan’s progress attentively. Chen Fan reminded him of many Perfected Cultivators he knew.
However, three days later, the powerful presence along with the funneling clouds disappeared altogether.
“Strange. I didn’t see any Thunder Tribulation. Did he fail?”
Fire Spirit King furrowed his brow.
“Even if he didn’t become a Sky Immortal, he must be very close.”
Many people heaved a sigh of relief thinking the wait was at an end.
To their surprise, Chen Fan was still nowhere to be seen
The gate of the cultivation chamber remained shut, however, Chen Fan no longer asked for tributes from them.
Meanwhile, Time had lost meaning inside the Yuntian Palace…
One more month, two more months, three…
As time flew by, Chen Fan was making daily progress by leaps and bounds.
