634 Ye Qincang, Youre Too Young (2/2)

”When I look at you, I feel like there's an old beast standing in front of me. I've never seen a glimmer of panic in your eyes, as if there's nothing in this world that can surprise you. Should I call you Chen Fan? Or…”

”Just call me Chen Beixuan! Beixuan is the name my teacher gave me. I haven't been addressed as Chen Fan in a long time,” Chen Fan said calmly.

He seemed to have acknowledged Ye Qincang's conjecture.

Ye Qincang furrowed his brows and said, ”I knew you were also a cultivator! Senior Beixuan, did you come from the Gate of Heaven? I've read through all the books from each sect in China, but there's no record about Immortal State Warriors defeating Earth Level Deities or a sect called the True Martial Celestial Sect.”

This hundred-year-old man was addressing Chen Fan as ”Senior.”

And yet, the two of them found it natural. Chen Fan was the reincarnation of an ancient beast and was much more powerful than Ye Qincang, so it was normal to call him Senior.

”Haha, the Gate of Heaven is nothing!”

Chen Fan laughed.

He got up and paced, then looked up and said, ”Ye Qincang, you are indeed talented, but you have no idea how big the world is! The Earth is so small compared to the boundless universe, not to mention the Gate of Heaven.”

”If not the Gate of Heaven, then…” Ye Qincang wondered.

Chen Fan didn't answer and he looked up to the sky quietly. He wondered what his teachers, brothers, allies, friends and enemies in his previous life were doing.

In the meantime, the night had come and the sky was glimmering with stars.

”Did you come from Heaven?” Ye Qincang frowned and asked.

Modern people knew that the Earth was the only normal planet in the universe and there wasn't anything like Heaven and Hell, so Ye Qincang thought that Chen Fan was fooling him.

”Not from Heaven, but deep in space,” Chen Fan said.

Ye Qincang was startled.

Humans had only traveled to the moon and scientists were still uncertain if there was life out there in the universe. If Chen Fan really came from space, it would totally turn the world upside down!

”So, there are cultivators and humans in space?”

Ye Qincang couldn't believe it.

”The universe is wider than you can imagine and the Immortal Cultivation culture doesn't exist only on Earth. Billions of years ago, human cultivators had battled across the universe with thousands of alien races, but you don't need to know about it right now. You'll understand when the time comes.”

Chen Fan smiled and looked far away.

Ye Qincang nodded, then took a deep breath and said, ”I thought that becoming an Earth Level Deity would mark the end of my cultivation journey and I could live for several centuries. Above that is the legendary Sky Immortal and cultivators at our level would already be respected like the Buddha. I didn't know that there were also cultivators in space. Did those ancient Sages and Gods go deep into the universe as well?”

”Haha, what's an Earth Level Deity?”

Chen Fan burst into laughter and his eyes were filled with disdain.

”Only the ignorant people on Earth would call a Connate Cultivator a Deity. In the universe, one can only be called a Deity after entering the Dao Reunion level!”

Chen Fan sneered.

”Connate? Dao Reunion?” Ye Qincang wondered.

He had never heard of these names and there were no records at all in the old books.

Chen Fan explained, ”There are eight cultivation stages in the Realm of Cultivation, including Qi Refinement, Connate, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Void Returning, Dao Reunion and Tribulation.

”The Qi Refinement level is divided into three states: Internal Force State, Transcendent State and Immortal State. You reached the Connate level once you became an Earth Level Deity, and that is only the start of your cultivation journey. Below that, you don't even count as a cultivator.”

”What?”

Ye Qincang was so shocked he fell on the floor.

How powerful would the following stages be if an Earth Level Deity was only at the second cultivation stage? Dao Reunion was five levels away from the Connate realm!

An Earth Level Deity could defeat a hundred Immortal State Warriors and could also kill a hundred thousand Internal Force Warriors! This was only the difference of one level. So, if there were two cultivators that were five levels apart, how different would their powers be?

Did it mean that a Connate Cultivator was as weak as an ant to a Dao Reunion Cultivator?

”For a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal, three thousand years is only one season and one can live more than a million years. You would also be able to swallow the sun, flicking off the stars, walk in the universe, bathe in the galaxy and sleep on the sun and moon. Only then can you be called a Deity!” Chen Fan said.

Ye Qincang was dumbfounded.
