Chapter 1205 - Leaving Home and Meeting an Old Friend (1/2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chen Fan didn’t stay in the Cangmin Realm for the rest of his past life after being taken from Earth by Master Cangqin. In fact, the Cangmin Realm was a famous battling sacred ground in the universe. Its developer, Master Cangqin, had lived almost a million years and he had risen to fame which was upheld for five hundred thousand years. His Dharma Power was known to be earth-shattering—being able to create the mysterious Cangmin Realm in space, his power was indeed unimaginable. Besides, he was also famous for promoting new cultivators.
Master Cangqin liked to travel around worlds to recruit the best cultivators, so he could take them to the Cangmin Realm to cultivate and fight.
The one who was able to tear the Cangmin Realm apart and stand before him would have the chance to follow Master Cangqin and become his inner circle disciple.
An inner circle disciple of a Perfected Immortal.
In the human world—where nobody had ascended in billions of years and people thought Deities in Heaven were just legends—Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals were beings at the top of the world who could single handedly suppress a top force. In fact, a few of the lowest ranking sects among the nine Celestial Sects only had a couple of Perfected Immortals. They were super Overlords who could defeat galaxy fleets and exterminate a civilization by themselves.
Although the True Martial Celestial Sect had a lot of disciples, how many of them could truly become disciples of a Perfected Immortal?
The Cangmin Realm had many entrances across the universe, so that those weaker cultivators who couldn’t survive there or the Saints who were tired from fighting could have a place to rest.
One of the entrances was in the Tiannan Planet Province!
When Fang Qiong was still alive and hadn’t transferred her Deity Fetus to Chen Fan in his past life, he had merely been an ordinary person on Earth. Master Cangqin had only taken him away and then thrown him into the Cangmin Realm because he had a hint of energy from the Deity Fetus. Soon, he was removed from the Cangmin Realm half-proactively and half-passively.
Although said to be removed…
He was in fact kicked out.
Quacks and lowly populations were eliminated from time to time, or they would become the cannon fodder in the Cangmin Realm. There would be thousands of ordinary or low-level cultivators like Chen Fan who would die in battle.
When Chen Fan was removed, he stayed in the Lin Yang Planet Region found in the Tiannan Planet Province.
“Did Master leave my parents on Planet Lin Yang?”
Chen Fan felt a bit awkward.
Judging from the direction, it indeed seemed to be where Planet Lin Yang was located. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for Chen Fan to find Wang Xiaoyun’s location, given how powerful Master Cangqin was and how covert the Cangmin Realm was. He might have caught the attention of the Perfected Immortals’ if he wasn’t careful enough. By then, those overlords could also send their energy over across the universe and Chen Fan would probably be the one in trouble.
But, it would be quite a pickle if they were truly in Lin Yang.
Lin Yang.
It was a special place for Chen Fan.
He had stayed on that planet for a few decades in his past life. After “escaping” from the Cangmin Realm, Chen Fan became a normal cultivator, living in the universe in constant fear. Although the Lin Yang Planet Region was just a remote place in the Tiannan Planet Province, many talents were hidden there and there were a lot of Overlords. Many families, friends and disciples of the Overlords from the Cangmin Realm would also stay in the Lin Yang Planet Region.
Let alone Chen Fan was just a Connate Cultivator back then—
Those Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators were people that Chen Fan looked up to, not to mention the extremely ethereal Soul Formation Grand Cultivators.
Chen Fan had lived cautiously, carefully hiding himself. Although he had also felt kindness in that cold world sometimes, he used to feel coldness and chills most of the time. Lin Yang was a place with laws, but he had just been a Connate cultivator back then. If he provoked any of those superior beings, they would easily crush him with thousands of cultivation arts.
Chen Fan remembered he once had a friend there. They exchanged cultivation experiences or went out of the city to hunt monsters when they were free. In the end, his friend had offended a large family on Planet Lin Yang, the Chu family, and he was enlisted in the army because of an order issued by the Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarch of the Chu family. He was appointed to the border of the universe to fight against the universe beasts and was never seen again.
There were a lot of Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators on such a cruel battlefield, so having a thousand Connate cultivators die was nothing.
“The Chu family of Lin Yang…” Chen Fan whispered.
The Chu family had once been superior in his eyes. Being a large family that had a history of a thousand years settled on Planet Lin Yang, they had a stable foundation and their people were everywhere; around the cities, sects, Chambers of Commerce and the planets’ army. The Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarch of the Chu family had retired from the Tiannan Army and had once been a Commander; he even had relations with people in other planet regions.
When that friend of his died, Chen Fan had remained frightened for a few years and was worried that the Chu family would still be enraged.
But they currently were a piece of cake for Chen Fan if he wanted to eliminate them. If it wasn’t for the Soul Formation Grand Cultivator in Lin Yang, he would have already killed the Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarchs of the Chu family with one finger.
“Brother Chen, the boat is here. We should board,” Guo Chuandong said.
“All right.”
Chen Fan stopped pondering.
He looked up and saw a huge space shuttle slowly land on the Yellow Maple Port after a trip from somewhere in the universe. It had an entirely black metal shell carved with many complex patterns that shone with golden light. Chen Fan could see that it was actually a defensive array carved by top Array Masters. Given the ship’s array level, even Nascent Soul monsters would have it difficult if they tried to destroy the vessel.
“This is the ‘Sunset.’ It’s the ship that travels monthly between the Tiannan Planet Province and the Little South Heavenly Realm. It may not seem big, but there are arrays which create space inside, so it can store millions of tons of materials. It can carry up to ten thousand people each time. The array on the ship was carved by a famous Array Master of the Tiannan Planet Province, ‘Master Qiu.’ It’s said to be able to withstand the attacks from a Grand Cultivator. Building a battleship requires more than ten million Star Coins. Even a large Chamber of Commerce that has businesses across planet regions can’t afford the cost with all of their assets,” the fat guy said proudly.
It was indeed something to be proud of, if that battleship could really withstand an attack from a Grand Cultivator.
Grand Cultivators were dominators in the universe and were also extremely precious. As far as Chen Fan knew, there was only one Grand Cultivator guarding the Lin Yang Planet Region. Only the capital of the Tiannan Planet Province and some planet regions at the border had many Grand Cultivators.
Many people were lining up to board the Sunset. As they looked around, there were some long queues.
According to the fat guy, most of them were related to the Tiannan Planet Province. Only a small number of people had to buy tickets. After all, even Nascent Soul cultivators would end up broke after paying ten thousand Star Coins.
“Why does our line have the most people and the other side has just a few? They passed very quickly.” Chen Fan noticed.
There were three boarding queues in total.
Chen Fan’s queue had the most number of people; the middle one had less and the leftmost queue didn’t have any. People could directly board the boat when they got there. Besides, all of them were surrounded by a dim aura, looking like members of well-off families. They had at least the Nascent Soul level and only a few Golden Core cultivators.
“Those are people with first class tickets, so they can enjoy a VIP treatment. The ticket we got is second class; we can only wait for a bit.” The fat guy patted Chen Fan’s shoulder and looked at the people traveling first class with jealousy on his face.
“How rich! First class tickets cost five times more than second class tickets. The price of a first class ticket can be used to buy five second class tickets. I wonder if they’re disciples of some large families in the Little South Heavenly Realm, or the elites of the imperishable sects.
