968 The True Dragon’s Nine TransformationsA few days later.
People were still talking about how Chen Fan had killed a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and about him becoming the first cultivator of the Longevity Roll. After all, there hadn’t been such earth-shattering news on Planet Tianhuang for a long time and this was even beyond everyone’s imagination.
Some people guessed that Chen Fan was a hidden Divine Prince of Mount Emperor, the descendant of Heavenly Lord Tatian.
Some said Chen Fan was an elite from the other planets, who traveled to challenge the most powerful cultivators. And yet, nobody could tell which planet he was from, Planet Dark Blue, Planet Heavenly Wolf, Planet Divine Weapon or Planet East.
Some even said Chen Fan was a reincarnation of an ancient Nascent Soul Cultivator and was in fact an old man, which was why he defeated all the young Overlords.
No matter what.
Chen Fan had become famous. Even the cultivators far in the Barren Regions knew the Chinese called Chen Beixuan. The Grotto-heavens and sects in the Beihuang Region were all dumbfounded when they got the news; they could only go to congratulate the Chinese immediately.
The Grand Elder of the Chinese was thrilled. Any Chinese cultivators, including the Qi Refinement Cultivators, were respected by people all over the planet.
This was the power of a Heavenly Lord.
Many Heavenly Regions, Heavenly Sects and families rose to the top of Planet Tianhuang once they produced a new Heavenly Lord.
But some old cultivators doubted.
“Weren’t the Chinese proclaimed as sinners by Mount Emperor back then and were rendered unable to cultivate their entire lives? Chen Beixuan is Chinese. We’re in trouble.”
Although it had been thousands of years.
Some people still remembered this incident.
Chen Fan and the Chinese were directly challenging Mount Emperor and the imperishable sects, as they had violated the Divine Law of Tianhuang!
Many people turned their attention to the imperishable sect in the Sacred Land—the one with a complete cultivation art, the one that had ruled Planet Tianhuang for a hundred thousand years. Everyone waited for the next move from Mount Emperor.
Mount Emperor or Chen Fan.
Their conflict would stir the entire Planet Tianhuang and start an unprecedented war.
Even though some of Chen Fan’s enemies like the Ancestral Patriarch of the Ghost Underworld Sect gave Chen Fan a few hundred million Spirit Stones, they were still upset and were waiting for Mount Emperor to help.
The entire Planet Tianhuang was calm and peaceful.
After leaving the Reincarnation Sect, Chen Fan took Xiao Mang with him before Shenxi could go through the Tribulation. After all, he would feel embarrassed to see Shenxi as he had just killed their Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarch.
“Brother, where are we going? Back to the Chinese settlement?” Xiao Mang asked as she played with the little puppy in her arms.
She was only a little girl. She had left the Chinese for too long and she missed her family so much, including the elders, her neighbors and Old Ding.
“No, we must go to the Ancient Demons Loch before that.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
The announcement of the new ranking of the Longevity Roll had completely exposed Chen Fan’s identity to the world and the Chinese had also been acknowledged by people on Planet Tianhuang. So, the imperishable sects like Mount Emperor would certainly notice this.
Chen Fan wasn’t sure how they would react.
But he had to be prepared to fight. He would definitely take revenge for the Chinese.
Before that, he had to go to the Ancient Demons Loch and complete the “Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art.” Even if he couldn’t complete the nine transformations of the Deity Wheel in the future, he needed to complete at least seven or five. After all, Mount Emperor wasn’t the Reincarnation Sect. They used to have a Soul Formation Cultivator and nobody knew how powerful they were right then. If Heavenly Lord Tatian left some Divine Arrays or secret treasures for them, even Chen Fan would have to avoid them for a bit.
“Ah, it’s a shame Sister Wuhua left. Only Xiao Hei is here with me.”
Xiao Mang pouted and looked sad.
She was left with Chen Fan, Zhao Juexian and the Qilin in her arms. Lin Wuhua and the others didn’t join them.
Chen Fan had truly inspired them this time.
They decided to travel around Planet Tianhuang to increase their knowledge and power. After all, they would be protected by Chen Fan if they followed him and they would lose the chance to explore.
“This is reality. I can’t protect you forever. You’ll grow up, marry someone and become a Divine Princess.”
Chen Fan smiled and caressed the girl’s hair.
The girl widened her eyes and said firmly, “I’m not going to marry anyone. I’ll follow you forever.”
Chen Fan cracked a smile.
His world wasn’t only on this small Planet Tianhuang or Earth, but in the real, vast Realm of Cultivation deep in the universe.
In that place.
There were brothers and masters in the sect he used to be in, opponents he had defeated in his previous life, enemies who were never on the same path as he was and friends he had known for five centuries.
In comparison.
Planet Tianhuang was too small. There wasn’t even one Soul Formation Cultivator, so how could the North Mystic Celestial Lord stay there?
However, Xiao Mang was the first talented cultivator Chen Fan had ever seen since he had been reborn.
“All right, if you want to stay with me, you must continue your cultivation arts again and forget about everything they taught you at the Reincarnation Sect, so that you can build a better foundation. Otherwise, you’ll have no chance of becoming a Void Returning or Dao Reunion Cultivator,” Chen Fan said seriously.
The girl was confused. She didn’t understand why she had to cultivate everything again. A Nascent Soul Cultivator was already powerful and she wouldn’t even dream of reaching the Soul Formation Level, but she still nodded.
“I understand.”
So.
As the carriage ran towards the Demon Warding Heavenly Region, Chen Fan guided Xiao Mang through her cultivation.
This time, Chen Fan passed down a real supreme Divine Art, the “True Dragon Divine Art,” to Xiao Mang. This was a cultivation art from a sacred ground of the True Dragon kin in the universe. It was divided into nine transformations. Cultivators with the blood of dragons would eventually purify their blood as they cultivated the art and they could even become True Dragons after completing the nine transformations.
A pure-blood True Dragon could fight with top Divine Beasts as strong as Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals, just like the Xuan Wu, the Heavenly Phoenix and the Kun Peng. It wasn’t something normal Divine Beasts or Sacred Beasts could compare to.
“Swish!”
Chen Fan separated the golden mist on Xiao Mang from her body. As the mist flew out, Xiao Mang couldn’t help but tremble. That was the True Essence she had gotten over her cultivation years, and it had just been taken away, so it was extremely painful to her. The girl immediately turned pale and her face was covered in sweat, but she didn’t let out a single sound.
“Phew, phew!”
Such a situation lasted for three days.
When it ended, Xiao Mang fainted in the carriage and her power dropped back to the peak stage of the Qi Refinement Level. The Qilin whined next to Xiao Mang and licked her face.
And yet, the girl got up immediately regardless of the pain and started cultivating the “True Dragon Divine Art” Chen Fan had passed down to her.
Chen Fan nodded.
Having gifted talents or knowing some Divine Arts and secret arts wasn’t something impressive. Chen Fan had seen thousands of elites, Divine Princes and Sacred Princes in his last life.
But in the end, only a few could become Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals.
Those people could go towards the end because of their perseverance and courage.
“It’s lucky that you met me and I’m fortunate to have you as my sister.” Chen Fan clapped and laughed.
The cultivation lasted for two weeks.
At first, plumes of golden mist surrounded the girl like dragons as she breathed. Then, the mist became denser and turned into a dragon with a head and horns. Although it was only three inches long, it was much stronger than the previous golden dragon, and it carried the ancient energy of a True Dragon.
As she cultivated.
The golden glitters on her hair became brighter. Her forehead was swollen and two horns grew out. There were even golden scales underneath her skin. Her energy had become powerful and pure, like a real Dragon Goddess.
“Whoosh!”
When the mist ran back into Xiao Mang’s body and she opened her eyes.
“Boom!”
An endless energy surged out of her body. All animals and Spirit Beasts in a hundred miles knelt on the ground and trembled. A Golden Core Beast that went past dozens of miles away fell from the sky, not daring to move no matter what its master said. The Qilin next to her also jumped and hid in a corner of the carriage.
Even Zhao Juexian had almost lost control of the carriage.
“You indeed have the True Dragon Divine Meridians. You were only a fake dragon before.” Chen Fan laughed.
“Brother.”
Xiao Mang blinked and the golden glitters in her eyes became dim. She looked at her hands in confusion and felt as if her body was completely different.
She knew she had completed the first transformation and she had risen back to the Connate Level again. Even though she was still at the early stage, she seemed to be much more powerful than she used to be.
“Miss Xiao Mang is too terrifying. Even though she’s just entered the Connate Level, I feel terrified by facing her,” Zhao Juexian said in shock.
“She has the True Dragon Divine Meridians and you only have the blood of the Sky-Swallowing Python. A Nascent Soul Beast would certainly be frightened of a True Dragon.” Chen Fan chuckled.
Xiao Mang was like the top Divine Prince at this moment.
Although she was only an early-stage Connate Cultivator, she didn’t have to fear when facing Golden Core Cultivators. If she reached the Golden Core Level, she could even fight with Nascent Soul Cultivators. This was the difference of being born with dragon blood. On the other hand, Chen Fan had to practice all kinds of top cultivation arts to have such a power.
“However, there are limitations after all. You’ve only completed the first transformation of the ‘True Dragon Divine Art,’ the ‘Pure Blood’ stage, and there are eight more. If you want to reach the top, you can’t just rely on the power of your blood. From now on, I’ll give you a stricter training,” Chen Fan said.
“All right, brother.”
Xiao Mang nodded.
At the same time, the carriage had entered the Demon Warding Heavenly Region.
The Ancient Demons Loch wasn’t far from them.
