Chapter 987: The Truly Great Opportunity
Luo Changshen became a mortal after a slash?
He was the Divine Prince of the Changshen Sect and a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a divine-grade Golden Core, and yet he turned back into a mortal without even the power of a Qi Refinement Cultivator?
This left Xiao Mang and Lord Dragon dumbfounded. The jaw of the Goddess of the Changshen Sect also dropped and many Nascent Soul Beasts by the lake were stunned.
“What kind of Dharma Spell is it? The Blue Sky Soaring Slash can only take a cultivator down one level temporarily. Even the Divine Lord of the Changshen Sect is only able to produce such a result. How can he turn Luo Changshen into a mortal without any powers?”
Lord Dragon mumbled and his eyes almost popped out.
Chen Fan’s slash…
It had gone beyond everyone’s imagination.
Even Lord Dragon thought it was incredible. This kind of Divine Power was beyond that of the imperishable sects and only the top sects and sacred grounds in the Central Galaxy would have such a mysterious Divine Art!
“Ah, ah, where’s my power? Where’s my Nascent Soul Power I’ve cultivated for seven hundred and thirty years? What have you done, Chen Beixuan? Where have you hidden my power?”
Luo Changshen fell on the ground.
The Heavenly Sword in his hand dropped. After losing his Dharma Power, he couldn’t even pick up a sword.
Luo Changshen wasn’t able to accept this at all. He sat on the ground with a terrified and anxious look. He looked at his hands and tried to use his Dharma Power, but he realized that there was nothing in his body.
“That’s impossible. Chen Beixuan, you must be playing a trick on me. This has to be an illusion. I don’t believe it’s true!” Luo Changshen murmured and suddenly tried to punch Chen Fan.
His body was still a Nascent Soul Body after all. Countless laws and runes he attained in the past few centuries were imprinted on it. There was still some Nascent Soul Dharma Power which had yet to dissipate; it turned into a beam of light as it flashed toward Chen Fan.
“Slap!”
Chen Fan placed one hand behind him and slapped Luo Changshen’s face with the other.
“Boom!”
Luo Changshen was knocked a few hundred meters away and he clashed against a Spirit Tree. The tree was then split in half.
“How dare you! You’re only a kid from the Abandoned Planet Region. How dare you hit me! I’m going to finish you and turn you into ashes…”
This slap made Luo Changshen completely crazy.
His hair was loose and his robe was torn. He wasn’t as elegant as a Divine Prince should be anymore. Instead, he burned the Dharma Power in his body and attacked again.
The five-color Divine Wheel then twined around Luo Changshen like chains.
That was Chen Fan’s “True Martial Dao Sword.”
It carried an endless power of rules. The harder Luo Changshen struggled, the faster he would use up his Dharma Power. After this attack, he had gone back to the Golden Core Level.
As he was facing the attack from a mere Golden Core Cultivator, Chen Fan didn’t even move his hands. He only stuck up his thumb and flicked with a cold look.
“Boom!”
Luo Changshen seemed to have been hit hard.
The secret treasures on his body broke at the same time and his ribs fractured immediately as if having been hit by a giant hammer. He spurted out golden blood and he was knocked away again. Even the Goddess of the Changshen Sect couldn’t watch anymore.
“Divine Prince!” Goddess Qing Luo yelled.
“No! I’m the Divine Prince of the Changshen Sect. I’ve cultivated for seven centuries and stand as the most powerful young cultivator among the entire Nanli Planet Region. Planet Tianhuang is only a barren planet in the Abandoned Planet Region and you haven’t even formed a Nascent Soul. How would I lose?”
Luo Changshen’s face and his robe were covered in golden blood.
The chains around him became tighter. At this moment, Luo Changshen couldn’t even remain at the Golden Core Level.
“Boom!”
When he attacked Chen Fan again, he couldn’t break the ten feet dome of True Essence around Chen Fan. Everyone could only watch Luo Changshen drop from the Golden Core Level to the Connate Level, and finally become a powerless mortal.
“It’s too terrifying! This Divine Power is ten thousand times more powerful than the ‘Blue Sky Soaring Slash.’ How could there be such a cultivation art in the universe? Did humans create it? This is a forbidden art.”
Lord Dragon shook his head and his eyes were full of fear.
He was truly frightened.
He originally thought that being given a thousand-year curse was already miserable, but what happened to Luo Changshen was even more tragic. He went from a Nascent Soul Cultivator to a mortal and everything he had worked for in the last seven centuries was gone. Lord Dragon could even see that Luo Changshen had completely become an “Isolated Being.”
What was an “Isolated Being?”
As the name suggested.
It referred to a mortal who was isolated from Spirit Qi, could never cultivate and could only live for a century.
Such a tactic was much more terrifying than killing someone.
“Crack, crack!”
The Nascent Soul Beasts quickly backed away and they stared at Chen Fan as if he were a giant monster.
In this world.
No one was more terrifying than Chen Fan. Dharma Power and Divine Powers were the most important things for a cultivator. Taking them away would make someone an ordinary person.
“What kind of cultivation art is that?”
Luo Changshen stared at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan flicked his fingers and said, “It has no name. I took inspiration from your ‘Blue Sky Soaring Slash’ and created this cultivation art. It’s formed by using my understanding of the world and the universe, so I can restrain your power. That is, until you develop a deeper understanding than I do one day, you’ll never be able to get your power back.”
Luo Changshen chuckled, then said seriously, “Great talent, great tactic. I’m in awe. However, I’ll return to the top and beat you someday.”
He became calm again in such a short time, as if he didn’t care about losing his power. Lord Dragon was completely in awe of his attitude. He was indeed the Divine Prince of the Changshen Sect.
“Haha!”
Chen Fan cracked a smile and didn’t say anything.
The only thing he didn’t tell Luo Changshen was that he was referring to the understanding he got in his previous life. Chen Fan used to be a Celestial Lord, so even the three Soul Formation Cultivators of the Changshen Sect weren’t a match for him, let alone Luo Changshen.
“Chen Beixuan, even though your cultivation arts are mysterious, I’m sure you don’t know the real secret of the deity ground,” Luo Changshen suddenly said.
“Oh, do you?”
Chen Fan looked at him.
Luo Changshen got up and said calmly, “Spare my life and I’ll tell you.”
“Sure!”
Chen Fan agreed right away.
Not being able to cultivate forever was already the biggest torture for Luo Changshen, so Chen Fan didn’t want to kill him.
But Luo Changshen didn’t know about that. He thought he could become a top cultivator again. He pointed at the lake and said, “The entire deity ground was formed by some Saint or Deity in the ancient times. All the Spirit Veins on Planet Tianhuang gathered here and every drop of water in this lake is more precious than any top Spirit Dews on the planet. Almost ninety percent of the Spirit Qi is here.
“Otherwise, how would this small deity ground have so many Nascent Soul Beasts, Heavenly Medicines and Divine Medicines?”
“What?”
Everyone was startled.
Lord Dragon also looked closer immediately. He saw that each drop of water in the lake was glittering, as if everything in the world was hidden inside. Those Nascent Soul Beasts only took a sip every time and their bodies would start letting out beams of light. They had to step aside quickly to refine their True Water.
“This is the World Thousand Spirit Water! Oh God, I thought it was just a legend and that could only be found in some imperishable sects or sacred grounds deep in the Star Ocean. I can’t believe there’s a whole lake of it. That’s unbelievable. I heard that one sip of it is already comparable to the top Spirit Stones,” Lord Dragon yelled as his body shook.
The others asked him what was the World Thousand Spirit Water for.
Lord Dragon then replied, “It’s formed by the Spirit Qi on the entire planet, so it’s like an enormous Spirit Vein but ten thousand times better than the others. The power of laws inside may be weak, but it’s ten times easier for a cultivator to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator after drinking this water for a long time.
“How much is ten times?
“That means there will be thirty to fifty more Nascent Soul Cultivators on Planet Tianhuang in a thousand years, which is much more than the number we have right now.”
After hearing what Lord Dragon said.
Even Xiao Mang was stunned.
A sip of it was comparable to a top Spirit Stone or Spirit Pill and it made it ten times easier to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Such kind of water existed? And there was a whole lake of it. How many cultivators could reach the Nascent Soul Level?
“That’s strange. Even the ancient Saints should have been thrilled to see so much World Thousand Spirit Water.
“Besides, this Spirit Water can only be made with artificial arrays. Who formed such a large array to trap the Spirit Qi on the planet here? This is so much work. Even the imperishable sects can’t do so. I guess only the sacred grounds or sects deep in the Star Ocean can be so powerful…”
Lord Dragon lowered his head and was confused.
He didn’t see that.
Chen Fan was looking more and more serious.
He was also surprised to see so much World Thousand Spirit Water here. It was much more useful than a couple Divine Medicines and he could certainly complete the ninth transformation of the Deity Wheel. However, the situation on Planet Tianhuang was too similar to that on Earth. The Spirit Qi on Earth was also trapped by some Grand Cultivator to nurture a few Spirit Treasures. Was this a coincidence? Or was there an astonishing secret behind?
Suddenly, Luo Changshen said, “Do you really think this is the great opportunity? You’re wrong. The truly great opportunity hasn’t come yet.”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked.
