Chapter 990 - True Martial... Chen Beixuan? (1/2)
When Chen Fan was about thirty years old in his previous life, Master Cangqin of the True Martial Celestial Sect had taken him and Fang Qiong away from Earth. After that, he became the youngest Celestial Lord and was known as someone who had the greatest hope of becoming a Sage.
Chen Fan even had greater achievements than Master Cangqin back then.
He had never thought Master Cangqin would lie to him, as it wasn’t necessary. He was only a nameless cultivator and there weren’t even many cultivators on Earth.
But when he saw the True Martial Sky-severing Array on Planet Tianhuang, he was skeptical about that.
That was the “True Martial Sky-severing Array!”
Only Grand Cultivators of the True Martial Celestial Sect like Chen Fan knew the power of this array and how difficult it was to form it. As one of the rarest arrays in the universe, even Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals would find it hard to form it. Even though taking the Laws of Heaven could help in growing a “Dao Fruit,” it wasn’t beneficial to the Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals.
“Who formed this? Would it really be Master?”
Chen Fan frowned.
Although the Dao Fruit was precious, it was only useful for Soul Formation and Void Returning Cultivators. It didn’t have much effect on Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals. So, the Dao Reunion Cultivators of the True Martial Celestial Sect wouldn’t have done this.
“Besides, why on Planet Tianhuang? This is a barren planet in a remote area of the universe and it’s so similar to Earth. So, did they cause the strange things that happened on Earth as well?”
Chen Fan became more serious.
In fact, he didn’t really care about the strange things that happened on Planet Tianhuang or Earth.
When he returned to Earth after a century, people there were still surviving. As for Planet Tianhuang, the Laws of Heaven were being intercepted, so the local cultivators couldn’t reach the Soul Formation Level easily. And yet, this was a matter for people on Planet Tianhuang to solve. What did this have to do with him?
But this array formed by the True Martial Celestial Sect made Chen Fan wonder if Master Cangqin had taken him away from Earth on purpose.
Or maybe everything that happened in his past life or even after his rebirth had been planned by Master Cangqin.
“Impossible!”
Thinking of this, Chen Fan shook his head.
He could rewind the time in a space dozens of meters wide and Master Cangqin could barely rewind the time of a continent. However, rewinding five centuries of time in the entire universe, including thousands of worlds and dimensions—
That was something incredible.
Even Deities in Heaven or the ancient Fiend Gods weren’t this powerful, let alone Master Cangqin.
And Dao Ancestor Daluo, who created worlds, probably couldn’t do this either.
Chen Fan had been reborn five centuries in the past, and the entire universe, including the time in the Realm of Deities, had also been rewinded five centuries. Chen Fan couldn’t imagine doing so even when he was at his peak.
“If me being reborn isn’t my Master’s plan, why did he form this Sky-severing Array? Why was everything the same when I returned to Earth a century later? And why did he take me and Xiao Qiong away?”
There seemed to be layers of mist in front of Chen Fan.
He couldn’t see the truth behind the mist. Many things that Master Cangqin did didn’t seem as casual as Chen Fan thought anymore, but actually done for a purpose.
“Whatever. I’ve already become an outsider after being reborn. I’ll kill whoever uses me as a pawn again, even if it comes to Immortal Sages!”
Chen Fan clenched his fists and his eyes glittered.
Then.
The Dao Fruit started spinning in the sky.
“Boom!”
It was like a fruit that was about to ripen, letting out noises that resounded across the sky. Even the sisters of the Xu family knew they could become Grand Cultivators one day after eating this fruit!
“Buzz, buzz.”
Many beasts by the lake that were covered with golden glitters stared at the Dao Fruit in the sky greedily.
“I don’t care if the True Martial Celestial Sect did this, the ‘Dao Fruit’ is real. Even if I can’t become a perfect Soul Formation Cultivator, I can be a fake Grand Cultivator and rule a planet region.”
Lord Dragon said with a shaking voice. He looked at the sky and couldn’t suppress his greed anymore.
“This belongs to Master. Even if you take it, you won’t be able to use it,” Zhao Juexian said.
He thought that Lord Dragon still hadn’t figured out the situation. Chen Fan was the only one who truly had power at the moment. Even if Lord Dragon snatched the Dao Fruit, he would have to give it to Chen Fan in the end.
“Haha.”
Lord Dragon chuckled and didn’t say anything.
But he was thinking how he could get through everyone and take the Dao Fruit. Once he became a Grand Cultivator, he would no longer be afraid of Chen Fan.
“Boom!”
Suddenly.
A beast turned into a beam of light and flashed towards the Dao Fruit.
Looking closely, that beast was a snake with wings and was eighty feet long. It was enveloped in Cloud Qi, which looked similar to the legendary “Teng Snake.”
Once the Teng Snake moved—
The other beasts couldn’t control themselves either.
Swish, swish, swish!
Eight other beasts also turned into rays of light to take the Dao Fruit.
Chen Fan remained still.
Not only him, a lot of old beasts also froze like statues. No matter how much they wanted the Dao Fruit, they didn’t dare to get closer to the lake.
“Heavenly Lord, aren’t you going to take it?”
Lord Dragon almost went for it as well, but he stopped when he saw Chen Fan looking at him.
“This belongs to the True Martial Celestial Sect. Cultivators who aren’t disciples of the sect can never touch it.” Chen Fan shook his head. “Of course, if you want to get it, I won’t stop you.”
“Really?”
Lord Dragon doubted.
He thought that Chen Fan would kill him once he flew in the air.
Then.
When the eight beasts got closer to the Dao Fruit, there weren’t any barriers or traps anymore. In the end, Luo Changshen was finally unable to help it.
“Boom!”
A beam of light shot out of Luo Changshen.
He then turned into a light ray and flashed past the eight powerful beasts, arriving next to the Dao Fruit.
