Chapter 829 - A Divine Material (2/2)

Then, all the illusions suddenly disappeared. A s.p.a.cious hall was exposed and there were forty nine large crystals standing. In the middle of the hall, a cultivator in luxurious clothes was sitting cross-legged.

He had white hair and his skin was crystal clear like jade. His eyes were closed, but he was still breathing. There were two beams of white light like snakes in his nostrils and he seemed to be just sleeping.

It was Perfected Cultivator Juehan, the founder of the entire Grotto-heaven.

There was a giant hole on his head, which made him look hideous.

“If a cultivator can’t break through the Golden Core Level to the Nascent Soul level, he will be trapped inside his own body and grow weak along with it.”

Chen Fan wasn’t surprised at all; he heaved a sigh instead.

He had seen too many Golden Core Cultivators die in his last life when they tried to enter the Nascent Soul Level. Some of their heads even exploded and their Divine Souls had also been destroyed.

The journey of a cultivator was full of danger. If Chen Fan hadn’t gotten a chance to live another life, he would have been extra careful right then.

“This must be the Ancient Underworld Pearl!”

Chen Fan saw the black pearl between the cultivator’s legs. It looked ordinary, without the least bit of s.h.i.+ne. There seemed to be some smoke inside.

Chen Fan didn’t go straight to the pearl. He had a stern expression.

He stepped forward slowly.

“Boom!”

The entire world was immediately reversed; a ten feet range around the cultivator was filled with a chilly mist. The black and chilly mist was poisonous; it seemed to have come from h.e.l.l. It could freeze Divine Souls and kill Golden Core Cultivators.

Chen Fan stepped back and the chilly mist was lifted.

After that, he was sure about something.

“No wonder the Golden Core Cultivators in the Beihan Region have yet to nab your treasure after so many years. I thought they had a deal not to enter the Grotto-heaven, but it’s because of this Ancient Underworld Pearl.”

Chen Fan stared at the pearl.

Even though the black pearl looked ordinary, he knew it had created the black mist just then; it was also responsible for the cold waves around the entire Grotto-heaven and the Juehan Mountain Range.

“Looks like I’ve underestimated the Ancient Underworld Pearl. There’s a large amount of Xuanming Qi inside. It’s really close to the Divine Material level.”

Chen Fan looked thrilled.

A normal Ancient Underworld Pearl could freeze a hundred-mile Grotto-heaven, but it couldn’t extend beyond that to freeze the mountains as well. Only a Divine Material or a Quasi-Divine Material could do this. It had the power of G.o.d.

“This Ancient Underworld Pearl is enough for me to form a divine-grade Golden Core.”

After thinking of this, Chen Fan didn’t hesitate anymore and took a step forward.

“Boom!”

The black chilly mist rose again.

The mist then condensed into water; the area was filled with black raindrops. Each drop was transparent and black. The air seemed to have frozen; it was letting out crackling sounds. Chen Fan’s clothes were torn in a second, but he kept going.

Some beams of azure light came out of Chen Fan’s Divine Body and pushed away the chilly mist.

The mist became denser as he went deeper inside. In the end, some black crystals were floating in the sky, which were the concrete form of the Xuanming Qi. One of them could kill a Connate Cultivator.

Chen Fan didn’t stop.

Ten feet, nine feet, eight feet…

When he was five feet away from the pearl, even his phenomenal-success Divine Body seemed to be a bit overwhelmed.

This Ancient Underworld Pearl was too powerful. It should have been called “Ancient Underworld Divine Pearl!” If the Xuanming Qi inside exploded, it could turn a thousand mile range into a world of snow. Its power was comparable to an attack of a Nascent Soul Cultivator and it could affect the weather.

“Open!”

The shadow of a Divine Tree appeared behind Chen Fan. In the end, he even took out the Five Thunder Essence Magnet. Rays of Five Thunder Essence Divine Light fell from the seal and protected him.

Finally, Chen Fan went through the last ten feet and grabbed hold of the pearl.

“Whoosh.”

All the chilly mist dissipated at once as if it were only an illusion. Chen Fan took a deep breath. He might have needed to fall back if he couldn’t get it just then.

Chen Fan placed the pearl in front of his eyes and saw a world of snow inside.

“Although it hasn’t become a Divine Material, it has reached the level of a Quasi-Divine Material. If a Soul Formation Cultivator had it, it could be used to make a Divine Treasure and establish a new world. The twenty four legendary Dinghai Pearls are peerless Divine Materials. Perfected Cultivator Juehan had no idea how precious this pearl was.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

There were only a few Divine Materials on a planet and even Quasi-Divine Materials were rare. The powerful cultivator who had made a treasure with Earth’s resources was in fact making a Divine Material.

With this pearl, Chen Fan could finally form a super-grade Golden Core.
