Chapter 910 - Meeting Some Old Friends (1/2)

Chen Fan looked toward the speaker.

“During ancient times, Linjiang City had another name. It got its new name after a local residence; a Heavenly Lord created a thousand-mile long river across the city. From then on, the city became a popular destination for young cultivators to visit and revere the Heavenly Lord’s miracle. Over time, the spontaneous gathering became the annual gathering of Linjiang and it attracted talents from all over the Ten Major Heavenly Region,” Wu Qinyan said.

She was wearing a flowing light green dress, which was cinched at the waist by an indigo silk belt to make her breathtaking curves stand out.

Standing beside her was Wu Baisu whose natural elegance was accentuated by her tall statue and slightly pointy chin. Her gaze was cold and aloof, like that of a moon goddess.

“Talents from the Ten Major Heavenly Regions?”

Chen Fan’s interest was piqued.

Of all the Heavenly Regions, the Heavenly Region of Bare North was a far cry from the Ten Major Heavenly Region. Multiple Heavenly Lords presided over the Ten Major Heavenly Regions.

“Indeed. Luo Changshen from the Changshen Heavenly Region will attend the gathering as well. He ranked pretty high on the Longevity Roll.”

Wu Baisu nodded.

Wu Baisu’s pride and aloofness was tempered by admiration when she mentioned Luo Changshen’s name.

“Well, he might, or he might not. Luo Changshen is elusive and the Beihang Region is in the middle of nowhere, so he might not show up.”

Wu Baisu’s words were laced with disappointment.

“I heard the name Longevity Roll many times. What is it? I knew that Wang Xuanlong is also on the roll. How does he compare with Luo Changshen?” Chen Fan said with a smirk.

“The Longevity Roll is published by the Tianshu Sect. It includes powerful Golden Core Cultivators under five hundred years old.”

Wu Baisu gave Chen Fan a surprised glare. She thought Chen Fan must have known about the Longevity Roll.

“Not all Golden Core Cultivators can be enlisted on the roll. Two criteria must be met: one, it has to be a superior-grade Golden Core, second, the cultivator needs to have reached the late-stage of the Golden Core.

“The list has a hundred spots and those hundred cultivators are the most powerful among the young generation. Most of the hundred individuals are from the Heavenly Regions.”

“However, some Heavenly Regions might not have any one on the list. The Beihuang Region is lucky enough to have Wang Xuanlong even though he’s ranked at the bottom of the list.”

Wu Baisu paused and heaved a sigh.

Chen Fan frowned.

He had never thought that Wang Xuanlong who was revered by many Ancestral Patriarchs had barely been ranked at the bottom of the list.

“What about Luo Changshen?”

“He ranked twenty-one on the roll. A real force to be reckoned with. He reached the late-stage Golden Core three hundred years ago. Even my family lord would not dare to mess with him.”

A light came up in Wu Baisu’s eyes.

Chen Fan shook his head after noticing Wu Baisu’s infatuation for Luo Changshen. He then asked Shenxi’s ranking on the roll.

“Goddess Shenxi?”

Wu Baisu was taken aback by the questions.

“Three years ago, Goddess Shenxi ranked thirty, close to Luo Changshen. However, I have heard rumors of her forming a divine grade Golden Core. That would put her in the top ten list, if not the top five,” Wu Baisu said.

“Not even a Divine Grade Golden Core can make it to the top three? Do those top three cultivators have sacred grade golden cores?”

Chen Fan was shocked.

Cultivators with a Divine Grade Golden Core were as powerful as the Ancient Demon Prince. Any one of them would be seen as a mighty force anywhere in the universe. However, that was still not good enough to fill the top three spots on the Longevity Roll.

“Well, yes and no. A Divine Grade Golden Core is extremely rare and powerful. However, raw strength isn’t the only thing the ranking considers. It also takes level of attainment, Dharma treasures, raw talents and Divine Powers into consideration.”

Then, Lin Baikui suddenly mumbled under her breath, “I have heard that all three cultivators on the top three share the same experience of being hunted down by the Heavenly Lord.”

Chen Fan was taken aback by the revelation.

He knew better than anyone about the terrifying power of a Heavenly Lord Essence Neonate. It was beyond people like Wu Baisu’s wildest imagination.

The sky collapsed and the earth shattered. Time and space lost their meaning and order.

The Nascent Soul Cultivators were the closest to the most fundamental principle on which the universe was built. Their power was based on that principle; they could shatter any Golden Core Cultivator regardless of their store of power.

Chen Fan’s Deity Wheel might not be able to withstand such an attack.
