Chapter 1055: A Gathering of the Younger Generation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Nascent Soul Cultivators sounded very unfamiliar to people on Earth.

In the past, the most powerful cultivator on Earth was just a fake Golden Core Cultivator. Even the sleeping Ancestral Master of Yuntian Palace in the Realm of Kunxu only had an inferior-grade Golden Core. Right then, humans or monsters at the Golden Core Level were all dominators of a region. They could shake the world by stomping their feet and were the guardians of a country or a sect!

There were only a few of those cultivators on Earth. They were scattered all over the world and almost couldn’t be found, like a cup of water in the desert. In cities like Chu Zhou City, a Connate Cultivator was already as superior as a dragon, let alone those Golden Core Cultivators on the top of China and the planet.

Jiang Churan was vital to China because she was talented and had a great chance of becoming a Golden Core Cultivator. The Jiang family also became a large family in the country.

As for the Nascent Soul Level.

It was a very old concept even among the hidden forces like the Realm of Kunxu, the Christian Church, Dragon Lake and the Kindred. Many people had never heard about it and they would only read about Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords in the records from the ancient times.

“Are there really cultivators above the Golden Core Level? When the Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena and the Sun Palace appeared all of a sudden, some people wondered if they might have Overlords that were more powerful than the Golden Core Cultivators backing them. A famous Golden Core Perfected Cultivator on Earth even wanted to challenge them, but he went missing shortly afterwards,” Auntie Tang said seriously.

People on Earth could only make assumptions about cultivators above the Golden Core Level.

Nobody knew if they really existed. After all, the most powerful people were only Golden Core Cultivators. The leader of Kunlun, the Sect Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Pope of the Christian Church had just become Golden Core Cultivators a couple years back. Levels above the Golden Core were too far away from them. They wouldn’t be able to reach them, even if they had a century.

“Auntie, isn’t he just lying? The Sect Masters of the Taichu Temple and the Wuji Arena are Golden Core Cultivators only. How would there be Nascent Soul Cultivators?” Jiang Feifei looked at Chen Fan in doubt.

She didn’t think Chen Fan was a fraud. After all, Auntie Tang was experienced in seeing things in people, but Jiang Feifei didn’t like it when Chen Fan told Auntie Tang some information he probably got out of his hat. This made Chen Fan look shallow.

“Shut up, Feifei. Xiao Fan would never lie,” Auntie Tang said seriously.

Even though Chen Fan had no power at all at the moment, he had once been the top cultivator on Earth and the leader of the North Qiong Sect. Auntie Tang watched him attack the United States back then with her own eyes.

But Jiang Feifei was too young.

When Chen Fan was famous worldwide, she was only ten years old. She had only a vague memory of that time, so how would she remember Chen Fan after a decade had passed?

“It’s okay, Auntie Tang.” Chen Fan smiled and told her he didn’t mind.

Auntie Tang was now even sadder. Chen Fan used to be superior, but he wouldn’t even refute a little girl’s doubt at the moment. Auntie Tang heaved a sigh.

“Xiao Fan, just stay here. Don’t think too much. You’ll become powerful again soon,” Auntie Tang comforted Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was shocked at first, then he looked at his clothes and realized something.

“Auntie Tang thinks I’ve lost my powers and that I’m severely injured.” Chen Fan found it funny.

He was injured because of the “Karma Art” before, but Chen Fan took the opportunity to merge his powers into one with the Fire of Dharma Laws. Although he couldn’t enter the Nascent Soul realm because of the True Martial Sky-severing Array and the special situation on Earth, that was a critical step for him.

In the meantime.

Chen Fan’s three energies had started to combine. When the process was completed and when the Dharma Laws were infused into his body, he could go through the Tribulation and become a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

And yet, he couldn’t explain all this to them and he could only give an embarrassed smile.

After that.

Chen Fan asked Auntie Tang about the North Qiong Sect. Even if the senior members had disappeared, they had countless disciples and Perfected Cultivators, and had the support from the Realm of Kunxu. The North Qiong Sect shouldn’t have been shattered, no matter what.

“I’m not sure. When the world changed, the Realm of Kunxu had already closed. Not only that, many Grotto-heavens were also shut. While the North Qiong Sect was in chaos, some mysterious Overlords attacked them one after another. Each of them was above the Golden Core Level. I’ve tried to look for some clues in recent years, but couldn’t find anything at all. However, everything seems to be pointing to the alien races like the Kindred and those from the universe like the Taichu Temple. They’re the only ones on Earth who have such power,” Auntie Tang said.

She comforted Chen Fan.

And she told him that a small number of people of the North Qiong had stayed and and remained in hiding in different places of the planet. She could contact those people for Chen Fan, so he could just remain in the villa to heal first.

“Okay, thank you Auntie Tang.” Although Chen Fan was anxious, he still nodded with a smile.

Once Chen Fan settled down and Auntie Tang left, he quickly examined his body.

After that, Chen Fan was discontented and happy at the same time.

He was discontented because the Dharma Laws on Earth were indeed incomplete. The nine kinds of Dharma Laws he had refined were all like that. Even if he became a Nascent Soul Cultivator there, he would just be a fake one. He would have to leave the planet or the Abandoned Planet Region and head to the Star Ocean.

However, what made him happy was that the cultivation this time was really helpful.

Chen Fan sat with his legs crossed and yelled, “Rise!”

A cloud appeared above his head and gradually formed three flowers, which were azure, multicolored and golden respectively.

If cultivators outside the Star Ocean saw this, they would probably tremble.

Those were the flowers formed when the energy of his Dharma Power, body and Divine Soul reached the highest level! It meant that Chen Fan had cultivated to the limits and was at the top of his current level.

So, those flowers were also known as “Flowers of the End” or “Flowers of the Peak,” representing that the cultivator was already standing at the peak of a level and couldn’t go any further. Cultivators who entered this state were called “Super Cultivators.”

Those at the Golden Core Level would be called “Super Golden Core Cultivators,” and “Super Nascent Soul Cultivators” at the Nascent Soul Level.

However, there weren’t many Connate Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators in the universe who had those flowers. Even if they did, they had just one, either that for their Divine Souls, their bodies or their Dharma Powers. Cultivators that had all three flowers were rare and there were just a few even in the Central Galaxy.

“I’ve formed three flowers, meaning that I’ve reached the top of the Golden Core Level. I can only gather Dharma Laws to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator next, or I would be stuck at this level,” Chen Fan said.

At the moment, cultivating wasn’t quite useful to Chen Fan anymore. He might be able to increase the amount of Dharma Power, but it wouldn’t become stronger. Cultivators that reached this point would have to either look for a breakthrough, create a powerful Dharma Treasure or Divine Power, develop some kind of special cultivation art or make some medicines.

Chen Fan stayed at Auntie Tang’s for a few days. He either chatted with her or cultivated during the day.

At night, his Nine Orifices Divine Infant would travel all across China and the Earth to look for information about his family and the North Qiong Sect. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful his Immortal Will was, it was too difficult to find several people among billions of others.

This day.

When Chen Fan was waiting for Auntie Tang, Jiang Feifei arrived.

“Auntie Tang asked me to go with you to your gathering? No, I don’t have time to hang around with you kids,” Chen Fan immediately rejected.

“This is Auntie’s order. She wants you to go. She’s worried that you’d be sick if you stay in the house all day. Otherwise, why would I invite you?

“Don’t worry. Only Xiao Xuan and a few of our friends in Chu Zhou City will be there. It’ll be fine.”

She was usually an elegant, gentle and polite Goddess and many elites at school were after her. The senior members of her family even said she would be the next Jiang Churan in the future, so she looked up to her sister all the time. She talked and acted like Jiang Churan.

However, she had been angry with Chen Fan since she met him.

Not only did he look down on her, when he went to the villa, Auntie Tang also treated him like her own and gave Jiang Feifei less attention, making her feel upset. Also, Chen Fan didn’t take the cultivation sacred grounds—like the Taichu Temple, Dragon Tiger Mountain and Kunlun—seriously, which completely angered her.

That was why she talked to Chen Fan with an unfriendly tone and never acted like a Goddess in front of him.

“All right.”

Chen Fan nodded.

Auntie Tang was one of the few people he could never anger in his life. Besides, he was also curious about the current younger generation on Earth.

Tian Shen Building, Chu Zhou City.

That building had a hundred floors and was five hundred meters tall. A decade before, it was still called Tian Shen Hotel, but then, the Young Master of the Tian Shen Corporation rebuilt it. It had then become the landmark of Chu Zhou City. There were restaurants, bars, shops and Qi Refinement Arenas inside. Many people went there every day and they earned a lot of money.

It wasn’t that nobody wanted the Tian Shen Building, but rumor had it that their Young Master was related to the Goddess of the Jiang family and his wife was her childhood friend.

So, nobody in Chu Zhou City or even the whole Jiang Nan Province dared to provoke them.

In the meantime.

In a luxurious restaurant on the 95th floor of the Tian Shen Building, a few young members from the large families in Chu Zhou City were having a gathering. One of them was Lu Yang.

“Master Lu, I heard that Goddess Jiang’s sister will come.” A young man smiled. His face was pale and his eyes were deep, as if he had had too much wine. However, he was also a peak-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Zhao family in Chu Zhou City.

“I wonder how beautiful her sister is. She never comes to our gathering, but she’s suddenly showing up today. I heard that she’s even bringing a guy along,” Another man said with a glass of wine in his hand. He was also from a large family in the city, the Yang family.

The young people present, including Lu Yang—

Their families basically became powerful only in the past ten years. They all had one thing in common: most of their members were Qi Refinement Cultivators and they even had Divine Sea Cultivators. Doing business or joining the government weren’t important for them. This also showed that the cultivators on Earth had started to become authorities in every city.

“Hm, he’s the person we met on Yunwu Mountain before. If it wasn’t for Jiang Feifei, I would have already killed him.” Lu Yang grunted.

“After all, a person who doesn’t cultivate is different from us. He’ll feel the distance between us when we meet,” said Chu Yun, who was sitting in the main seat and had the highest level among all.

The others also nodded.

And Xiao Xuan agreed as well.

This was an era that belonged to cultivators. No matter how high the social status of a person was, he would always be an ordinary man if he didn’t practice Qi Refinement. The difference between him and cultivators was like that between monkeys and humans. They couldn’t really communicate.

Meanwhile.

Chen Fan had arrived at the Tian Shen Building.
