Chapter 988: The Fruit of Dao!

That wasn’t the real opportunity?
Such a large amount of World Thousand Spirit Water was enough for an entire imperishable sect to develop and survive in the universe for a hundred thousand years. They would have Soul Formation Cultivators for a few generations and tons of Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Even Chen Fan was shocked when he saw it.
He had never seen such abundant resources after he was reborn. Even the sects and sacred grounds in the Star Ocean might not have so much Spirit Water. Only the ancient sacred grounds with a Divine King did.
“If this isn’t a great opportunity, what is?” Lord Dragon asked quickly.
Everything he had gotten in his entire life was less than half of the lake. If he could have all the World Thousand Spirit Water, he was confident that he could have gone halfway through the Soul Formation Level.
“For us, having the World Thousand Spirit Water which can help us enter the Nascent Soul Level is already an incredible opportunity. And yet, for the Grand Cultivators that formed this piece of land, this lake isn’t important,” Luo Changshen said calmly.
Goddess Qing Luo ran to him and changed his clothes. Luo Changshen became elegant again. Even though he had no Dharma Power at all, he still looked like a Divine Prince.
“That’s right. Those Grand Cultivators trapped the Spirit Qi of the entire Planet Tianhuang here. There must be something more than the World Thousand Spirit Water.”
Lord Dragon hit his head.
Cultivators of different levels looked at things differently.
Nascent Soul Cultivators looked up to the Soul Formation Cultivators. And what about the Grand Cultivators above the Soul Formation Level? They didn’t care about the Spirit Artifacts that were useful for Nascent Soul Cultivators anymore. Things that could impress those heavy hitters would have to be something earth-shattering.
Either Supreme Divine Treasures, peerless Divine Medicines and Sacred Medicines, or something that had to do with laws and nature.
Only those could catch the attention of those Grand Cultivators.
“But what else?”
Lord Dragon had no idea.
However, Chen Fan looked more and more serious. He used to be a Celestial Lord, so he knew what the Grand Cultivators craved for. There were things he didn’t want to think about, as they were things he never wanted to see.
Lord Dragon pointed at Luo Changshen and said, “Tell us quickly! The Changshen Sect must have gotten some intel. You should know what the core opportunity in this deity ground is.”
Even though he was Chen Fan’s servant at the moment, he was still a Nascent Soul Monster and he almost pushed Luo Changshen onto the ground.
Luo Changshen felt a bit humiliated, but he still spoke, “Our last Sect Master heard some news from an ancient sacred ground in the Star Ocean. He said that there was a truly great opportunity in the Abandoned Planet Region. Not only Planet Tianhuang, every planet has a different one, but all of them impressed the Grand Cultivators. Some can even help a cultivator become a Soul Formation Cultivator right away!”
“Becoming a Grand Cultivator immediately?”
This time, even Xiao Mang was dumbfounded.
The sisters of the Xu family covered their mouths and their eyes blinked in shock.
Soul Formation Cultivators!
There had been less than five of them on Planet Tianhuang in the past few million years. Even if they cultivated incomplete arts, they still managed to rule the planet. This could be proven by looking at how domineering Mount Emperor was. They could destroy the world with one word and eliminate a Heavenly Lord Family easily. The Chinese used to have Heaven’s Equal back then and they were as powerful as all the Heavenly Regions, but they were still oppressed by Mount Emperor.
If there was really a treasure that could take someone to the Soul Formation Level…
Countless cultivators on Planet Tianhuang would go crazy and even Mount Emperor would do something to get it.
“That’s impossible! No Divine Pills or Spirit Medicines can push cultivators to the Soul Formation Level! The difference between a Soul Formation Cultivator and a Nascent Soul Cultivator is like the difference between humans and God. Only those who have entered the Soul Formation Level can be the leaders of a family and the kings of a planet!” Lord Dragon shook his head and denied what Luo Changshen said.
After all, he had cultivated for three hundred thousand years and was knowledgeable.
Only cultivators like him knew how difficult it was to reach the Soul Formation Level.
The Changshen Sect had ruled the Nanli Planet Region and a few hundred planets. They had countless Nascent Soul Cultivators, but only three Soul Formation Cultivators in the past hundred thousand years. However, they were still known as a thriving sect in this generation. Usually, it was normal to have no Soul Formation Cultivators in a generation.
Only planet regions with Soul Formation Cultivators could be called Cultivation Planet Region. Only races that had Soul Formation Cultivators would dare to call themselves “Universe Clans.” Only sects with Soul Formation Cultivators were regarded as real sects in the Star Ocean.
Those were Grand Cultivators, entities who were superior in any region, planet or race across the universe. The “True Gods,” “Ancestral Gods,” and “Creation Gods” in many races were actually Soul Formation Cultivators.
That was why Lord Dragon shook his head.
“You know nothing! That’s something which was spread from the sacred grounds in the Star Ocean. Many Grand Cultivators in my sect have confirmed it. If this Abandoned Planet Region didn’t have so many restriction arrays, our three Sect Masters would have come here a long time ago,” Luo Changshen refuted.
After all, they were talking about the Soul Formation Grand Cultivators! If cultivators could become one of them just by using normal medicines and treasures, how would they be called Grand Cultivators? How were they different from Nascent Soul Cultivators?
“Impossible!” Lord Dragon shook his head and insisted.
Then, Chen Fan finally spoke, “It’s indeed difficult to become a Soul Formation Cultivator in just one step, but some treasures can help you achieve it.”
“What?”
Lord Dragon was startled. He turned around and still didn’t look convinced.
Not only him.
Luo Changshen, Goddess Qing Luo and the sisters of the Xu family didn’t believe it either. Not even Lord Dragon had heard of it. Chen Fan was only someone from Planet Tianhuang. How much could he know about this?
“I don’t think so. Even the famous sacred grounds and Divine Sects in the Star Ocean aren’t that powerful. Otherwise, there would have been Grand Cultivators everywhere,” Lord Dragon said.
Chen Fan didn’t answer and he just said indifferently, “That’s because you’re too shallow. I know eight of them. For example, the Dao Fruit appears only when the world is created and it’s formed by the Laws of Heaven. The second one is the Nine Heaven Deity Medicine from Heaven. A single drop can help a cultivator reach the Soul Formation Level. And there’s the Chaotic Force, which can make cultivators into Gods…”
After that.
Chen Fan told them about eight other weird things.
Unfortunately, Luo Changshen and the others had never seen or heard about the Dao Fruit, the Nine Heaven Deity Medicine or the Chaotic Force.
Those were the most mysterious and precious things in the universe. Not even the Masters of the sacred grounds had heard about them, let alone some Nascent Soul Cultivators from the remote planet regions.
“Haha.”
Luo Changshen didn’t say a word.
But his eyes were full of doubt. Only Lord Dragon thought that Chen Fan had been acting differently from someone born on Planet Tianhuang; he couldn’t deny what Chen Fan had said just yet.
Then.
Everyone remained silent and sat at the lake, waiting for the great opportunity to appear.
According to Luo Changshen, it usually appeared in the evening. Even though it would only be there for a while, many Nascent Soul Beasts would benefit from it.
Time went past quickly.
In the evening.
Boom.
The entire lake started shaking and countless beasts arrived. Everyone then saw many reflections of stars on the surface of the lake.
Those stars gathered in the sky and seemed to be forming something.
“That is?”
Everyone widened their eyes.
As the stars gathered, something indescribable slowly appeared on the surface of the lake. It looked like a plume of chaotic air current, a Tai Chi sign or some purple energy, and after a while, it changed into other things. Everyone looked at it and felt like all the variations of the world were inside of it.
It floated high up there with a hint of cultivation energy, looking perfect.
“I knew it!”
Chen Fan slowly closed his eyes.
The others had already guessed what it was.
The Dao Fruit!
It had been formed by a Connate Cultivator and carried the Laws of Heaven. A cultivator could become a Grand Cultivator by just taking one. It was an extremely incredible Connate Spirit Artifact.
“Crack, crack!”
Everyone stared at the Dao Fruit greedily and Lord Dragon almost couldn’t control himself. That was a chance of becoming a Soul Formation Cultivator! And yet, after glancing at Chen Fan, he pushed down the desire in his mind.
“Unfortunately, this Fruit of Dao hasn’t ripened yet. It needs a hundred thousand years more to mature. If you take it now, you can only become a fake Grand Cultivator on Planet Tianhuang or even just a peak-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
“It doesn’t have to be perfect. You’ll be a Grand Cultivator after all,” Lord Dragon said as he shook.
He was thrilled and was trying very hard to control his greed and desire.
“Brother, didn’t you say that the Dao Fruit is a Connate Spirit Artifact and it only appears when the world is created?” Why is it here now?” Xiao Mang suddenly asked.
The girl wondered. She was surprised, but she still had a clear mind.
“Why do you care about it? Just use it!”
Luo Changshen and Lord Dragon shouted, but nobody dared to do anything in front of Chen Fan.
Chen Fan looked up and said with coldness in his eyes, “Yes, the Dao Fruit normally appears only when the world is created, but this one is different. Someone used an array to take the Laws of Heaven on Planet Tianhuang and formed it. This is the reason why Planet Tianhuang has no complete cultivation arts and nobody here can become real Nascent Soul and Soul Formation Cultivators.”
“What kind of array can intercept the Laws of Heaven? This is stealing!”
Everyone was astonished and even Lord Dragon was shocked.
They didn’t even think that such a cultivation art existed, let alone having heard about it.
What were the Laws of Heaven? They were something superior! They were the fundamental blocks of the universe; laws were only one of their variations. Even Soul Formation Cultivators would only learn about them, but they never touched them or tried to intercept them.
Intercepting the Laws of Heaven.
This was ten thousand times more terrifying than becoming a Grand Cultivator right away! Was this something a mortal or a cultivator was able to do?
The Deities in Heaven should be the only ones able to do this.
“Yes!” Chen Fan said slowly, “I’ve seen this array before. It’s called…”
“The True Martial Sky-severing Array!”
