Chapter 834 - Becoming an Ordinary Person (2/2)
There was a towering old hall at the center of Old China Town. Beams of light were seen inside from time to time.
The Ancestral Temple.
The most sacred place of the Chinese. Almost all the Chinese cultivators originated from that place; it was also the highest authority of the clan.
In the evening.
Chen Fan returned to his home and a girl in a purple dress stuck out her head. “Brother, Grandpa Ding, you’re back.”
“Brother, I made some sticky rice cakes. Do you want to try them?” a girl said with a box in her hands, like a child waiting for compliments.
Chen Fan tried one and said, “They have a pretty good taste. Your cooking is getting better and better.”
Like a cat, the girl’s face was immediately beaming.
This girl lived opposite to Chen Fan and was called Xiao Mang. Chen Fan had saved her from a monster in the North Sea. She had been on a trip with her family at that time when a monster attacked them. Both of her parents died. If it wasn’t for Chen Fan, Xiao Mang would have also died.
Since then, Xiao Mang had relied on Chen Fan and had never left his side.
Chen Fan had thought about sending her away at first, but the girl looked at him without saying anything and simply started crying, as if she were a pet that had just been abandoned by her owner. In the end, Old Ding convinced Chen Fan to let her stay.
Xiao Mang was a well-behaved girl. Even though she was only thirteen, she always cleaned and tidied up the house like a hardworking maid. By then, even Chen Fan was used to having her around.
“Brother, tomorrow is the day the Ancestral Temple tests our cultivation talent. Everyone under fifteen has to go, which will be more than ten thousand people. I heard that only dozens are tested positive each year,” the girl said.
“If I’m tested and do have cultivation talent, I’ll be able to become a super powerful cultivator like you and Master Qin Luo. By then I’ll be able to avenge my parents and help you out.”
Xiao Mang widened her eyes and swayed her fists.
Qin Luo was one of the few Chinese Connate Cultivators and was extremely talented. He had spent fifty years to reach the peak stage of the Connate Level and became the top Overlord among the Chinese. He was also the guardian of Old China Town. Countless residents had deep admiration for him.
“Don’t worry. You’ll be tested positive,” Chen Fan said.
“Hm.”
Xiao Mang nodded with confidence.
Then, the girl told Chen Fan a lot of things she had heard from the neighbors and ended falling asleep. She was holding him tightly even in her dreams, scared that he would leave.
Chen Fan became more gentle as he looked at Xiao Mang’s face.
He should have left Old China Town and the Beihan Region to look for Divine Materials for his remaining three Essence Cores, but his plans had been postponed again and again because of this girl. He didn’t want to lose the life he had at the moment.
Xiao Mang was someone that connected Chen Fan and Planet Tianhuang.
“I should leave after searching for information about the Chinese.”
Chen Fan heaved a sigh.
Suddenly, beams of light appeared.
The roar of a dragon came with the light, and a dragon flew out of Xiao Mang’s body. Once it appeared, an old, powerful energy fell on the room. The dragon was surrounded by clouds and mist, and its eyes were s.h.i.+ning bright. It was apparently a real dragon, not a python.
True Dragon Divine Meridian!
This was a Divine Meridian comparable to that of Red Sparrow, the Xuan Wu and Kun Peng, and was real pure dragon blood, unlike that of the Chu family.
Chu Tianyu only had impure dragon blood, and still, his power had almost reached the Golden Core Level. On the other hand, Xiao Mang had the real blood of a True Dragon, which was one of the most powerful in the universe. She would be able to climb the levels before the Soul Formation State without any difficulties and reach the Nascent Soul Level in a century. With enough cultivation arts and opportunities, she might even be able to reach the Soul Formation and Void Returning levels.
If the sects and sacred grounds in the universe knew about this, they would do the impossible to get her.
But then, many invisible chains were twined around the dragon. It couldn’t escape and could only let out a cry. Those chains came from deep inside Xiao Mang’s blood, which were pa.s.sed down from her ancestors.
“Law Divine Chains?”
Chen Fan grunted when he saw those chains.
A Nascent Soul Cultivator would notice that they were very similar to the five Deception Divine Chains on Chen Fan.
The next day.
Xiao Mang came back home, with her head hanging low.
Looking at her gloomy face, Chen Fan knew she had been judged as being devoid of cultivation talent. When tears started welling up in her eyes, Chen Fan made a sudden question.
“Xiao Mang, do you want to be an Immortal Cultivator?”
