Chapter 843 - The Beihan Region Was Stunned (1/2)
The Beihan Region was extremely vast. It had thirty six states and was as large as dozens of Earths. Countless races, humans, sects and families lived there.
But above all were undoubtedly the Top Ten, the eight powerful families and the six Grotto-heavens.
Those were the real heavy hitters of the Beihan Region! Other than the royal family, no one could compete with them. Nothing could scare those top forces; they had been on top of the world for thousands of years.
However, they had lost their place that day.
“I heard that something happened in the Yan State and five Perfected Cultivators died.”
“Really? A Perfected Cultivator is a superior being. Only one of them dies in decades. How can someone kill five in a row? Who did that? The Sect Master of the Xukong Grotto-heaven? The King of the Violent Apes? Or the leader of the Bloodblade Fighters?”
“None of them. It’s a Chinese Perfected Cultivator called Chen Fan.”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked.
The battle outside Old China Town had been too astonis.h.i.+ng.
The entire Beihan Region was divided in only thirty six states and Chen Fan had almost killed all the Perfected Cultivators of a state in one go. How could the world not be frightened? Even the strong races and families had to respect the Chinese after that.
But this wasn’t the only thing.
“Also, that Chinese Perfected Cultivator has probably become a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator at such a young age.”
“Seriously?”
A mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator.
Such an Overlord was someone like the leaders of the Top Ten and the eight powerful families. Even the Sect Masters of several Grotto-heavens had yet to reach this level. There were only a few of such Overlords in the entire Beihan Region. They were cultivators that stood on top of the region!
“Weren’t the Chinese cursed by the royal family of the Beihan Region? It should be impossible for them to have a Golden Core Cultivator. Why do they have such an Overlord?”
Countless people were confused.
Many of them looked at one another.
“Are we going to have another powerful race?”
In the Tianmang Grotto-heaven of the Shang State.
Manggu was cultivating in Tianmang Mountain.
Beams of crimson light penetrated his body like swords. Those lights were formed by the energy the entire Tianmang Mountain had produced in the past centuries. They were optimal for strengthening bodies, which was why the Tianmang Sect had relocated their mansion to that place.
Looking closely, Manggu was brawny, and he wasn’t moving at all. A bright bronze Essence Core spinned inside his body, which had five shallow lines etched on it.
A few elders from the Tianmang Hall stood far away and said with a smile,”Manggu is so strong. His level has soared ever since he lost the battle at the Juehan Mountain Range. I guess he’ll be able to defeat a fifth-grade Golden Core Cultivator after two decades.”
“Chi Fenkong was called the first fire talent in the thirty six states in the past. He went through four Thunder Tribulations at once and completed a mid-grade Golden Core. Even Lord Beihan was stunned by him and granted him a supreme cultivation art in person, appointing him as the Lord of the Yan State. If Manggu really survives after the Thunder Tribulation, he will become more powerful than Chi Fenkong. The other five Grotto-heavens will be no match for the Tianmang Grotto-heaven.”
The Grand Elder of the Tianmang Sect also caressed his long beard.
Even though the six Grotto-heavens were on an equal footing, they competed with each other in secret. If Manggu attained a fifth-grade Golden Core, he would become the most powerful cultivator of the younger generation in the Beihan Region. Such a talent was rare even outside of the region; only the descendants of the heavenly sects could surpa.s.s him.
While the elders were chatting…
A beam of light suddenly flew into the Grand Elder’s hand. He looked and was immediately frightened.
“What’s going on?” everyone wondered.
The Grand Elder said, “There’s a new Perfected Cultivator in the Yan State. He killed five Golden Core Cultivators and forced Chi Fenkong to retreat. The Tianji Grotto-heaven has already listed him as one of the heavy hitters. From now on, there will be one more race in the Top Ten, and that man… I heard that he’s Chinese and is well under a hundred years of age!”
“What?”
Everyone at the Tianmang Hall was stunned.
Not only the Tianmang Grotto-heaven.
All the other Grotto-heavens, sects and races received the news.
“How is that possible? A powerhouse who’s a hundred years old? And Chinese? This sounds like something from a myth. Are you sure about this?” a Perfected Cultivator doubted.
In fact, many people were doubtful about the news. Such a powerful cultivator was rare in the Beihan Region, and one that was below the hundred year-old mark was even more astonis.h.i.+ng.
Even the most outstanding elites in the region entered the Golden Core Level at the age of eighty and could only reach the mid-stage of the Golden Core Level after two hundred years of cultivation. Besides, the Chinese were known to have low-ranked blood.
“A Perfected Cultivator of the Tianji Grotto-heaven was there at the time and saw it with his own eyes. He gauged the man’s level with the ‘Small Tianji Art.’ According to him, if that man isn’t a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, he must also be a top sixth-grade Golden Core Cultivator!” someone said.
Everyone was speechless after such a response.
The Perfected Cultivators of the Tianji Sect practiced the Tianji Secret Arts to measure everything in the world. They were never wrong. So, people began to believe that Chen Fan was indeed a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator.
After all, there were only around twenty heavy hitters in the entire Beihan Region and only one had a sixth-grade Golden Core.
The most powerful Overlord in the Beihan Region, Sword King!
In the Xuanming Grotto-heaven.
Lin Wuhua quickly shut herself in after receiving the news.
“Sister Mu, do you think Senior Chen is Perfected Cultivator Chen?” Yun Yier said.
