Chapter 844 - The History of Chen Fan (1/2)
The blazing torches in the Ancestral Temple shone over the hall, but the dozens of Connate Cultivators were sitting there without saying a word.
Qin Luo also looked at Chen Fan in shock.
“Great Grandpa, what do you mean? How could my brother be the wanted criminal, Chen Beixuan?” Xiao Mang said anxiously.
The name Chen Beixuan wasn’t widely spread across the Yan State. After all, it was a few hundred thousand miles away from Zhuyan City. But still, many Chinese had heard about it.
Qin Luo and the others remained silent.
Before Xie Changying asked, they had never thought about that since the rumors said that Chen Beixuan had died, but many questionable things about Chen Fan came to everyone’s mind immediately.
n.o.body knew where Chen Fan had come from. He had claimed that he was from the Sui State and that his parents were dead.
Chen Fan was so powerful that he could kill Perfected Cultivators with ease, but no one had ever heard of him.
His last name was Chen, the same as that of the legendary Chen Beixuan…
Piecing all the evidence together, the truth had spoken for itself.
Xiao Mang looked up with antic.i.p.ation.
She saw Chen Fan nod calmly. “Yes, I’m Chen Beixuan!”
After that, everyone in the hall instantly found it difficult to breathe. Chen Fan was a wanted criminal and someone Sword King wanted to kill. The Barbaric Dragons and the Arctic Sect were too different from the Zhao family.
Xie Changying said after a while, “Don’t worry. Perfected Cultivator Chen is powerful, not even the royal family would provoke a heavy hitter. Besides, we’re the only ones who know about this. The royal family might not know.
“No matter what, thank you for saving the Chinese.” Xie Changying bowed.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Right!
Not even the royal family would offend a powerful Perfected Cultivator just for a descendant! Meanwhile, only Xiao Mang was still worrying.
Then, all of them started chatting.
“I heard that you found the treasures of Perfected Cultivator Juehan, but were killed by the guards from the royal city. Are these rumors fake?” an elder asked.
“I was in the Juehan Grotto-heaven that day, so I’ve never seen those guards.” Chen Fan shook his head.
“Where did you come from? Are you really someone from the Sui State? How did you complete a Golden Core with the limitations of our blood? Why haven’t we heard about you before?” Qin Luo asked.
Everyone immediately went silent and turned to Chen Fan, waiting for his answer.
As Connate Cultivators, the thing they were concerned the most was how Chen Fan had entered the Golden Core Level and become a Perfected Cultivator! There had been countless elites among the Chinese in the last thousands of years, but none of them could go higher than the Core Formation level.
Since they weren’t able to reach the Golden Core Level, people started to spread rumors that they had been cursed by the first Lord Beihan.
Chen Fan picked up his gla.s.s of wine and said slowly after a while, “I don’t have any limitations in my blood.”
“How is that possible?”
Everyone in the Ancestral Temple was startled.
They couldn’t believe it and even Xie Changying was confused. The cultivation limit was embedded in the blood of the Chinese. They would be restricted as long as Chinese blood ran through their veins, no matter which generation they were in and what aliens they married to.
“Perhaps he’s not Chinese?” Some elders wondered. Thinking of the rumors, they looked at Chen Fan with a hint of fear.
“Yes, brother. All Chinese on Planet Tianhuang have limitations in their blood. We encounter more barriers when we cultivate and we can’t even sense a hint of Spirit Qi. We can’t escape this no matter how far we go and where we are,” Xiao Mang also said.
She had been with the Chinese since birth, so their blood limitations had become a fact for her.
“All Chinese on Planet Tianhuang have limitations in their blood, but what if… I’m not from Planet Tianhuang?” Chen Fan put down the gla.s.s and cracked a smile.
“Not from Planet Tianhuang?”
Everyone was shocked.
What was that supposed to mean? Planet Tianhuang was everything in their understanding. This piece of land was even more vast than the universe and many of them had never left the Beihan Region, let alone Planet Tianhuang. The Chinese had been born and raised on Planet Tianhuang; they had never heard of any other members outside the planet.
Only Xie Changying stared at Chen Fan with shaking hands, as if he were looking at an alien.
“The Grand Elder understands.”
Chen Fan smiled.
Everyone else then looked at Xie Changying with a confused face.
The Grand Elder stared at Chen Fan emotionally, then got up and said, “Are… Are you from Planet East?”
“Right.”
Chen Fan nodded.
“What’s Planet East?”
