At the deity ground.
Chen Fan had no idea what was going on outside.
He didn’t start cultivating right away. He sat by the lake, cross-legged with a relaxed look. He was holding a small ball in one hand and fis.h.i.+ng with a bamboo pole with the other.
“Brother, it’s World Thousand Spirit Water. What kind of fish can you possibly catch from there?” Xiao Mang said as she ran to where Chen Fan was and leaned on his shoulder.
“Fis.h.i.+ng is a way to enhance my mind. I’m in fact here to strengthen my belief towards Taoism and to polish this ‘Dao Fruit’ at the same time. I’m not sure if I should take it,” Chen Fan answered.
The small ball slowly spinned in his hand. There were thousands of energy strands inside, catching the attention of people and beasts around. It was the Dao Fruit.
“Huh? Why? The others look at it every day,” Xiao Mang wondered.
That was the Dao Fruit. Even if it was incomplete, it could still turn someone into a fake Grand Cultivator. If someone were to consider Heavenly Lord Tatian’s power, everyone knew how different a fake Grand Cultivator and a Nascent Soul Cultivator were.
And yet, Chen Fan wasn’t satisfied with it and even found it c.u.mbersome?
“It would be useful to me if it were complete, but an incomplete one is nothing. And yet, I wouldn’t eat a complete Dao Fruit even if I have a complete one. I would only use it as a reference or to make a Divine Treasure,” Chen Fan said.
He only explained a bit since Xiao Mang asked him. There were a lot of things other people wouldn’t understand if they hadn’t reached a certain level. For example, Lord Dragon and the others had no idea why Chen Fan didn’t refine the Dao Fruit to become a fake Grand Cultivator.
They didn’t know.
Chen Fan didn’t care about becoming a fake Grand Cultivator, or even a real one.
He could have become one if he wanted to.
He knew countless secret arts and Fiend Arts in his previous life and he took shortcuts for some of them, including the “Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art.” Chen Fan had the chance to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator after slaying half the people from Planet Tianhuang and he could become Soul Formation Cultivator if he killed everyone in the entire Abandoned Planet Region.
But what was the meaning of becoming a Soul Formation Cultivator that relied on Dharma Treasures, Divine Treasures and Fiend Arts?
Chen Fan had killed more than a thousand Grand Cultivators of such kind in his previous life.
Without establis.h.i.+ng a supreme foundation and opening up an unprecedented path, how could he become a Deity and get out of this world? And how could he make his unfinished dream come true?
Chen Fan caressed the girl’s hair and said with a smile, “‘I must have ambition to establish supremacy and I won’t settle for anything until I’m satisfied.’ Although this saying sounds like a cliché, that’s what I think. Xiao Mang, you must also have a belief that goes beyond everything. If not, how can you get rid of the shackles of the universe and see the magnificent side of the world?”
“Hm.”
Xiao Mang replied. Although she didn’t really understand him, what he said had to be right.
“Boom!”
Then.
A beam of light was shot from afar.
Apparently, the sisters of the Xu family were cultivating. They had been stuck between the peak stage of the Core Formation Level and the Golden Core Level. Their foundation wasn’t strong enough. They had finally been able to reach the Golden Core Level With the help of the World Thousand Spirit Water.
Then.
Beams of light shot out from their bodies. After drinking a little bit of the water, one of them flushed like a cooked prawn, while the other shook violently.
The Spirit Qi in the World of Thousand Spirit Water was too terrifying. Those Connate Cultivators couldn’t withstand it at all.
But the effects were still astonis.h.i.+ng.
In less than half a day, they both formed a seventh-grade Golden Core and even the Thunder Tribulation was blocked outside of the deity ground. The Thunder Tribulation was nothing in front of the Sky-severing Array.
“Let me do it too.”
Zhao Juexian found somewhere quiet and sat down. He placed a jade gourd filled with World Thousand Spirit Water on his hand. He calmed himself and tried to reach the Nascent Soul Level.
Lord Dragon, G.o.ddess Qing Luo, Xiao Mang and even the little Qilin also took the opportunity to work hard and cultivate.
On the other hand, Chen Fan was still fis.h.i.+ng, practicing Martial Arts, making medicine and playing with the beasts around the lake. Many beasts approached Chen Fan and even the colorful phoenix with nine heads flew back.
He stretched his body and performed different Martial Arts movements. A lot of beasts couldn’t help but to stop and watch him.
Two weeks later.
Chen Fan finally stopped. He stood at the lake and said as he looked up, “It’s time.”
Different from Xiao Mang and the others, Chen Fan had yet to encounter any difficulties when he cultivated. He had been a Celestial Lord in his past life, and his understanding had gone beyond the limits of the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul levels.
With enough Spirit Qi, he could even reach the Soul Formation or the Void Returning Level easily. He would only slow down a bit when at the Dao Reunion Level where he had to understand the mystery of the universe.
