Chapter 1103 - Regrets of the Past (1/2)

Five centuries was a long time. It equaled the five lives of an ordinary person. Chen Fan had lived only five centuries in his previous life, but he had been able to reach the Tribulation State and was given a title: the “North Mystic Celestial Lord!”

However, five centuries was indeed a short time.

Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals could live up to millions of years, and Grand Cultivators and Saints could cultivate in seclusion for five centuries straight without getting out. Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals were rare and there would only be one every ten thousand years in the universe. There were indeed other Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals when Chen Fan was on the top of the world, but none of them were humans.

Across the entire universe—

Among all the human cultivators, the only one who had become a Dao Reunion Cultivator in five centuries was Chen Beixan.

“I’m the Deity Fetus?”

Chen Fan was shocked.

Looking back on his previous life, he had become a Soul Formation Cultivator in a century, a Dao Reunion Cultivator in two centuries and a Tribulation Cultivator in three centuries. He had been known as the cultivator who had the most hope of ascension. That might sound like he was indeed the “Deity Fetus,” but the cultivation time in the first half of his life had been too long. A “Deity Fetus” should have become a Soul Formation Cultivator in a decade, at most.

The “Sacred Prince of the Light Race” had even become a Soul Formation Cultivator right away!

Of course, that had something to do with his own potential. The Sacred Prince of the Light Race was the descendant of their Ancestral God and had been born with a Nascent Soul cultivation; it was a walk in the park for him to reach the Soul Formation Level. If he hadn’t died, he might have had the chance of becoming a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal as well. Unfortunately, Chen Fan had killed him on the home planet of the Light Race. People on Earth were just ordinary people. Even if Chen Fan was indeed a “Deity Fetus,” he wouldn’t have been able to advance immediately.

“This doesn’t feel right. If I’m the Deity Fetus, Master Cangqin wouldn’t have let me go during this life and would have taken me back to the True Martial Celestial Sect. He would have even fought with the other Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals. How could he leave me on Planet Tianhuang?”

Chen Fan shook his head.

That didn’t make sense at all.

Besides, even though Chen Fan didn’t advance as quick as a “Deity Fetus” in the first half of his previous life—after he had entered the Tribulation State at three hundred years old—he had gone deeper into the level and had even fought with the Deities in Heaven, earning the title of the “North Mystic Celestial Lord.” That wasn’t something a “Deity Fetus” could explain.

A “Deity Fetus.”

Was the fetus of a Deity, the child of a Deity!

It would be born as a Deity and would automatically become a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal when fully grown. That was why the nine Celestial Sects had done everything they could to form Deity Arrays to nurture it with the Fiend Qi of a Fiend God. And yet, that would not guarantee that the Deity Fetus would reach the “Tribulation State.” The Tribulation and Dao Reunion Level were two different concepts. Otherwise, Chen Fan wouldn’t have been the only person who had reached the Tribulation Level in the past thousands of years.

“Besides, I wasn’t just a Tribulation Cultivator in my previous life. I killed more than one real Deity from Heaven. Even if the Fiend God under this deity ground is reborn, I’d be able to kill it like chicken, let alone a mere ‘Deity Fetus’ nurtured by a bit of Fiend Qi.”

Chen Fan grunted.

But if he wasn’t the “Deity Fetus,” who was?

Chen Fan was the only human who had become a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal in the five centuries of his past life.

“Unless… That Deity Fetus was never born, or she died early,” Chen Fan lowered his head and whispered. There was a glint of sadness in his eyes right then.

Chen Fan had guessed the answer, but he couldn’t believe it.

If that was the truth.

Chen Fan would owe her so much he wouldn’t be able to make it up to her in his entire life.

“In my previous life, Master took me with him, but since I was too stupid and had no cultivation talent at all, I ended up reaching the Ethereal Enlightenment Level when I was thirty years old and still wasn’t even close to the Divine Sea Level,” Chen Fan though as memories resurfaced in his eyes.

“When I met Xiao Qiong, she was already a Golden Core Cultivator. In just three years, she reached the Golden Core Level and had a top sacred-grade Golden Core. She was born to cultivate and was the most outstanding disciple among the others in the True Martial Celestial Sect.

“After we met, Xiao Qiong didn’t look down on me, she kept helping and encouraging me. She even married me and swore she would never leave me. And yet, my cultivation progress was far behind her.

“She reached the Connate Level after a year, the Golden Core Level after three years and the Nascent Soul Level after five years!

“Even the teachers of the True Martial Celestial Sect thought Xiao Qiong would be able to become a Soul Formation Cultivator in thirty years at most, and even had hope of reaching the Void Returning or Dao Reunion Level in the future. As for me? I was just a Divine Sea Cultivator. If she didn’t die in the hands of that ‘enemy’ just because she wanted to protect me, she would have been the one who conquered the universe!”

Chen Fan slowly closed his eyes.

As he thought of that enemy, some unforgettable memories and hatred came to Chen Fan’s mind.

He thought he had forgotten about those memories already, but they in fact became even clearer, making Chen Fan clench his fists. His entire body seemed to have gone beyond this universe.

Things he couldn’t understand in his previous life became clear at that moment.

Many details he had not paid attention to in his previous life suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He couldn’t help but to think about everything he had missed, hated, lost and forgotten in his previous life!

“In my previous life, my Master took me and Xiao Qiong away from Earth. He took Xiao Qiong to the True Martial Celestial Sect and left me somewhere else. If Xiao Qiong had not found me, I would have been killed by some kind of monsters or Connate Cultivator,” Chen Fan thought.
