Chapter 775 - Who Is Chen Beixuan? (1/2)

Chen Fan had been away for three years.

Many things had changed in those three years. Mankind was facing one of the biggest challenges it had ever faced. For most people on Earth, Chen Fan was nothing but a fading memory. However, Huo Tingshan had watched as Chen Fan had risen to power so he recognized him immediately.

“I… I thought you had died in the Realm of Kunxu.” Huo Tingshan gaped at Chen Fan as if he were a dead man that had been brought back to life.

“I was just visiting Kunxu, who told you that I was dead?” Chen Fan let out a half smile as a cold light flashed across his eyes.

Huo Tingshan felt his hair stand on end as the memories of Chen Fan’s ruthless methods rushed back to his mind. He screamed in his mind, “He’s not a Senior Cultivator in seclusion, he is a fiend, a demon!”

The thought of hiring Chen Fan had also vanished from his mind.

Huo Tingshan wished that he could grow a pair of wings and fly as far away from Chen Fan as he could.

“Why did you say that I had died in Kunxu?” Chen Fan asked faintly.

His voice was light and gentle, but each and every word sounded as loud as a hammer hitting an anvil. Huo Tingshan explained while shaking uncontrollably.

As the Deities across the world awakened from their slumber, many secrets of the ancient world were also revealed. The People of Earth finally learned that the Sages of the East were the strongest faction in the ancient times. Kunxu was one of the mystic realms created by them. They had also lorded over many other Mystic realms.

Over the last thousand years.

The cultivators in mystic realms visited each other. The Earth Level Deities in Kunxu were the strongest among all of them.

“Saint Augustus from the Christian Church told us that Kunxu was being guarded by more than a hundred sages, therefore, you… you would never make it back,” Huo Tingshan stammered.

“The Christian Church?”

Chen Fan snorted.

However, Chen Fan saw his point. There were more than two hundred Earth Level Deities, a dozen Connate Cultivators and a slumbering Golden Core cultivator. Their combined forces would overwhelm the Earth with ease.

Most people would have very little chance of surviving once they entered the realm.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Chen Fan had been able to bring the Realm of Kunxu to heel.

“Why did the heir of the Christian Church invade the Deity Burial Valley?” Chen Fan turned around and asked.

“Umm.. I’m not familiar with that. But I’ve heard that the Christian Church tried to open the Gate of Heaven to invite the sages from Kunxu to Earth. However, they were met with resistance and failed. The times have changed. Earth has become a complicated web of power. Countless Mystic realms are re-emerging as we speak. China is in danger and struggling to stand her ground,” Huo Tingshan lowered his head and answered.

Chen Fan Furrowed his brow.

He realized that China was in between a rock and a hard place. Mystic realms were awakening all over the world, but since Chen Fan had sealed the portal to Kunxu, China had been the exception.

China had to rely on Ye Qincang and the warriors of North Qiong to fend off the aggression. As they faced the cultivators from the Mystic realms, their power fell short.

“Do not disclose what happened today to anyone. Otherwise, I will kill all the members of the Ba Ji Sect.”

Chen Fan’s cold voice drifted into his ears.

“Yes, yes… I will never say a word.”

Huo Tingshan collapsed to his knees and kowtowed.

He kept his head low for half an hour until he realized that Chen Fan had already left.

After Chen Fan left Shenmen County, he went toward the inland area.

This time, he chose the land over the sky. He wanted to take a good look at the changes that had occured over the years.

“If the changes were brought about by natural causes, say, the mutation of wild animals, China would not be under much threat. Those wild animals would take a while to attain the Ethereal Enlightenment realm. It would take them thousands of years to reach the Connate Level. Even then, modern militia would be enough to handle them.

“However, China would lack the means to defend against the Connate Cultivators from Mystic realms all over the world. Those Connate Cultivators must be behind the onslaught of Malice Beasts,” Chen Fan thought to himself as he made his way across the land.

With his level of attainment, he only needed to see one thing in order to deduct the rest of the story.

Chen Fan headed east and the further he went, the more lively the scene became. He didn’t hide his appearance, but no one had recognized him so far.

Three and a half years was not a long time. It usually took an Overlord this amount of time to consolidate his power and rise to fame.

Lei Qianjue was only a Grandmaster, but his fame had lasted ten years. Too many things had happened in the last three years; Chen Fan’s exploits seemed like ancient history.

In the last three years, more things had happened than in the last century. World changing events were happening day by day, every time people open their eyes in the morning.

By then, people had become numb to all the sensations.

Although Chen Fan had displayed his strength by subduing the United States, not a lot of people had seen Chen Fan’s face. Most people thought that Chen Fan looked familiar.

At this point in time, there were simply too many Connate Cultivators on Earth.
