Chapter 942 Under Mount ReincarnationThe fifty-seventh floor was not as spacious as the other floors but it had a dome shaped ceiling that made it look like an opera house.
Many powerful Golden Core Cultivators were gathered in small groups, drinking quietly. They communicated only by using their Divine Wills.
Some of them paused what they were doing when they saw Chen Fan walking in.
However, as soon as they saw them being ushered by that low level servant in azure outfit, they sneered at Chen Fan in their minds and continued their business. Many of them were late-stage Golden Core Cultivators, so the azure-clad servant was beneath them.
However, unbeknownst to them, Chen Fan wouldn’t even pay any attention to Divine Will communications from cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm.
“Shenxi is going to come out of her isolation?”
Chen Fan was slightly taken aback.
He remembered the day when he met her for the first time and marveled at how fast time had flown by. The proud girl with the silver wings was finally going to gain a Divine Grade Golden Core and become a real cultivator.
“I have heard that Reincarnation Mount has spared no expenses in helping her reach the Divine Grade Golden Core. A few Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarchs commissioned a batch of elixirs from the Medicine Emperor. They set up a Supreme Heavenly Arrays to draw down Spirit Qi from the Ethereal world. They even gave her a Divine Art passed down from a Grand Cultivator to strengthen her foundation.”
Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarch!
Medicine Emperor!
Supreme Heavenly Arrays!
Divine Art!
Obtaining any of these would make her the target of jealousy, much less all of them combined. Even some heavyweights of the region shook their heads and marveled at Shenxi’s fortune.
“Once Goddess Shenxi comes out of seclusion after she attains a Divine Grade Golden Core, she will even outshine Li Huaixian and Jun Aochen and stand on an equal footing with the Divine Prince from Mount Emperor,” someone put in.
“Hehe, by then, we might have to call her Divine Goddess, instead of just Goddess. I wager that half of Tianhuang’s talents will gather to congratulate her, including Li Huaixian and Jun Aochen,” another young cultivator said with a smirk.
However, there were also different voices.
Some people argued that since both Jun Aochen and Li Huaixian were battle hardened warriors, they had a much better chance of reaching the Nascent Soul realm. Plus, the forces they represented were not any less powerful than Mount Reincarnation.
However, another voice quickly argued back.
Every Divine Prince generation had been able to dominate the world and become the most powerful cultivator under the Nascent Soul realm. In the past, Some Divine Princes were even able to fly out of Tianhuang and test their abilities on other planets.
Jun Aochen and Li Huaixian simply couldn’t compare.
As People exchanged their opinions, Chen Fan felt increasingly worried for the girl.
Chen Fan knew the difficulties of attaining a Divine Grade Golden Core better than anyone. Despite its immense power, the process of obtaining it could be perilous. She might have swallowed more than she could chew.
“Fine, I might as well help her for Xiao Mang’s sake,” Chen Fan thought to himself.
As Chen Fan listened on, he noticed that the topic had changed to him and his battles. They marveled at Chen Beixuan’s abilities of taking on a Heavenly Treasure with his bare hands. Some people were convinced that Chen Fan was more powerful than those ranked at the top of the Longevity Roll.
Despite Chen Fan’s incredible achievements, not many people had actually seen those events in person.
Therefore, many adolescent cultivators who hadn’t learned many life lessons yet refused to believe that a young man from a Barren Region could rise to the top of the Longevity Roll.
In the eyes of the residents in the Ten Major Heavenly Regions, even the Beihuang Region was considered a desolate wasteland, more so when it came to the Barren Regions.
It was as if the citizens of Shanghai and Beijing doubted that someone who had lived deep in the jungles of an impoverished Southern China would be admitted into Havard.
“Sigh. You haven’t seen it yourself, have you? Chen Beixuan is the Elixir Monarch, equal to a Heavenly Lord. You should be mindful when you talk about him,” an elder carrying a blade on his back said with a sigh.
The elder’s face was wrinkled, however, the energy following inside of him was the strongest among all people around him. He was half-step away from becoming a Heavenly Lord.
However, he had spoken under his breath, so not many people had heard him.
Chen Fan had suddenly risen to power and then seemingly disappeared for a year. He was no longer the focus of everyone’s attention.
However, Chen Fan didn’t mind the arrogance of those people. He walked over to the center of the room and talked to the floor manager. The manager was wearing a golden outfit.
“I would like to purchase a piece of information.
“I’m looking for a Chinese girl called Xiao Mang. She was brought to the Reincarnation Sect by Goddess Shenxi about four years ago. I want to know if she’s still at the Reincarnation Sect and if so, how she is doing.”
Before the manager replied, a woman’s voice said, “Who are you? Why are you looking for my Junior Apprentice-Sister?”
There was an edge in the woman’s voice which didn’t sit well with Chen Fan.
He looked over and saw the speaker was sitting by a stone table with two other guests.
One was female, and the other was male.
The speaker and the other girl had a wide age gap and very different demeanors. However, they were both extraordinarily pretty and looked like sisters.
Although they were only at the early and mid-stage Connate Spirit respectively, the flow of energy was steady and controlled. It was apparent that they were competent cultivators.
Meanwhile, the young man sitting between the two girls wore a white long robe and was playing with a small teapot in one hand. Chen Fan noticed at least eight Spirit Treasures on him. His level of attainment was around the late-stage Golden Core: a powerful force to be reckoned with in the Beihan Region.
“You know Xiao Mang?” Chen Fan asked.
The speaker was the younger one of the two. She looked up and pouted.
“Humph! Have you been living under a rock? Who in the Reincarnation Heavenly Region doesn’t know my Sect sister Xiao Mang and her incredible talent? She is the disciple of Elder Yuelon from Violet Moon Peak and she reached the Connate Spirit realm in less than three years. She is already at the mid-stage of the Connate Spirit. Our Ancestral Patriarch believes that she’s more talented than Sect Sister Shenxi. When she cultivates, a Dragon appears to guard her. That is why people call her the True Dragon Goddess.”
“Everyone knows this…”
“That’s enough!”
The girl’s cold and aloof sister cut her short.
“Our master has often reminded us to keep things about Xiao Mang to ourselves. What are you babbling about to a stranger?”
The young girl’s face darkened and sat down in silence.
The older sister then turned to Chen Fan and said in an icy voice, “Fellow cultivator, I’m not sure why you’re looking for Xiao Mang, but I have to warn you.
“Mount Reincarnation is a powerful Heavenly Sect. Elder Yuelon is ranked in the top five among all the elders in our sect. Our sect sister Xiao Mang is the apple of her eye. If you’re planning to take Xiao Mang away, you might as well stop now.”
It was a stern warning.
“Thanks. I’m Xiao Mang’s brother.”
Chen Fan nodded.
He reckoned that underneath the girl’s icy mask was a kind heart.
Chen Fan felt relieved after knowing that Xiao Mang was alive and well. He left the room since he had other business to attend to in the Brahma Palace.
Seeing Chen Fan’s disappearing image, the young girl asked with hesitation, “Sister, if he really is Xiao Mang’s brother, shouldn’t we be nicer to him? I’m worried that Xiao Mang might get mad at us for being so rude to her brother.”
Xiao Mang was the rising star among the younger generation in the Reincarnation Sect.
On the other hand, the two girls were from a powerful family clan in the sect: The Zhu Family of the Wei River.
However, even their family’s clout couldn’t match Xiao Mang’s influence in the sect. The ire of Elder Yuelon alone would result in the expelling of the two girls.
The older sister wore a cold face and refrained from replying.
Seeing the growing anxiety on the young girl’s face, the young man in a white robe cracked a warm smile and said, “Ninxue, the True Dragon Goddess was brought to us by Goddess Shenxi herself. She awakened the True Dragon Bloodline in less than three years. She must have come from a prestigious lineage.”
“Hm?”
Zhu Ninxue was confused.
“However, that group of strangers you saw…” the young man continued, “Other than the girl in a black outfit, all of them were only at the Connate Level with very average arts.
“How could they be related to the True Dragon Goddess? Goddess Xiao Mang is going to become a true dragon in the sky, while those strangers will forever be worms that plough the earth.”
Arrogance and pride flickered in the young cultivator’s eyes.
Many listeners nodded in agreement.
Although Xiao Mang was only at the mid-stage Connate Spirit, she had been groomed to be the next Goddess of Mount Reincarnation. Even the Grand Perfected Cultivators in this room would only be able to look up at her with admiration in the future.
Chen Fan walked around in the Brahma Palace and found out that of all the materials and herbs on display, none could help him in his cultivation.
In the end, Chen Fan only bought some average Heavenly Medicine.
However, the size of the transaction had stirred a chief manager. He thanked Chen Fan in person for the purchase and personally saw him out of the building.
Chen Fan spent the night in Tianyuan City.
The next day, they rode the carriage straight to the Reincarnation Sect.
They felt the increasing presence of a powerful source of energy the closer they got to Mount Reincarnation. When they arrived, they saw the entrance was completly shrouded in raw energy. They saw a wonderful scene through the stone gate.
Thousands rays of warm energy beamed down from the sky, while a thin mist of Spirit Qi clung to the air.
The world inside was filled with brightness.
Many Heavenly Lords had also left their never-ending incantations in the world. They revererated together, making it the perfect place to reach enlightenment.
It really lived up to its reputation as a Sacred Land.
“Halt! This is the territory of the Reincarnation Sect.”
Two ten-meter tall Golden Armor Immortal Guardians stopped them. Chen Fan looked closer and saw countless inscriptions on their armors, and realized that they were golems.
However, being an animated object didn’t make them any weaker. Their energy was vast and strong and their voices boomed like the morning bells. They were as powerful as peak level Golden Core Cultivators.
A voice continued before Chen Fan could introduce himself, “What are you guys doing here?”
Chen Fan looked over and saw the two sisters they had met the day prior, still accompanied by the white-robbed young man while sitting on a superior-grade flying Spirit Treasure. Their eyes were brimming with surprise.
