Chapter 993: The Cultivation Began

At the deity ground.
Chen Fan had no idea what was going on outside.
He didn’t start cultivating right away. He sat by the lake, cross-legged with a relaxed look. He was holding a small ball in one hand and fishing with a bamboo pole with the other.
“Brother, it’s World Thousand Spirit Water. What kind of fish can you possibly catch from there?” Xiao Mang said as she ran to where Chen Fan was and leaned on his shoulder.
“Fishing is a way to enhance my mind. I’m in fact here to strengthen my belief towards Taoism and to polish this ‘Dao Fruit’ at the same time. I’m not sure if I should take it,” Chen Fan answered.
The small ball slowly spinned in his hand. There were thousands of energy strands inside, catching the attention of people and beasts around. It was the Dao Fruit.
“Huh? Why? The others look at it every day,” Xiao Mang wondered.
That was the Dao Fruit. Even if it was incomplete, it could still turn someone into a fake Grand Cultivator. If someone were to consider Heavenly Lord Tatian’s power, everyone knew how different a fake Grand Cultivator and a Nascent Soul Cultivator were.
And yet, Chen Fan wasn’t satisfied with it and even found it cumbersome?
“It would be useful to me if it were complete, but an incomplete one is nothing. And yet, I wouldn’t eat a complete Dao Fruit even if I have a complete one. I would only use it as a reference or to make a Divine Treasure,” Chen Fan said.
He only explained a bit since Xiao Mang asked him. There were a lot of things other people wouldn’t understand if they hadn’t reached a certain level. For example, Lord Dragon and the others had no idea why Chen Fan didn’t refine the Dao Fruit to become a fake Grand Cultivator.
They didn’t know.
Chen Fan didn’t care about becoming a fake Grand Cultivator, or even a real one.
He could have become one if he wanted to.
He knew countless secret arts and Fiend Arts in his previous life and he took shortcuts for some of them, including the “Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art.” Chen Fan had the chance to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator after slaying half the people from Planet Tianhuang and he could become Soul Formation Cultivator if he killed everyone in the entire Abandoned Planet Region.
But what was the meaning of becoming a Soul Formation Cultivator that relied on Dharma Treasures, Divine Treasures and Fiend Arts?
Chen Fan had killed more than a thousand Grand Cultivators of such kind in his previous life.
Without establishing a supreme foundation and opening up an unprecedented path, how could he become a Deity and get out of this world? And how could he make his unfinished dream come true?
Chen Fan caressed the girl’s hair and said with a smile, “‘I must have ambition to establish supremacy and I won’t settle for anything until I’m satisfied.’ Although this saying sounds like a cliché, that’s what I think. Xiao Mang, you must also have a belief that goes beyond everything. If not, how can you get rid of the shackles of the universe and see the magnificent side of the world?”
“Hm.”
Xiao Mang replied. Although she didn’t really understand him, what he said had to be right.
“Boom!”
Then.
A beam of light was shot from afar.
Apparently, the sisters of the Xu family were cultivating. They had been stuck between the peak stage of the Core Formation Level and the Golden Core Level. Their foundation wasn’t strong enough. They had finally been able to reach the Golden Core Level With the help of the World Thousand Spirit Water.
Then.
Beams of light shot out from their bodies. After drinking a little bit of the water, one of them flushed like a cooked prawn, while the other shook violently.
The Spirit Qi in the World of Thousand Spirit Water was too terrifying. Those Connate Cultivators couldn’t withstand it at all.
But the effects were still astonishing.
In less than half a day, they both formed a seventh-grade Golden Core and even the Thunder Tribulation was blocked outside of the deity ground. The Thunder Tribulation was nothing in front of the Sky-severing Array.
“Let me do it too.”
Zhao Juexian found somewhere quiet and sat down. He placed a jade gourd filled with World Thousand Spirit Water on his hand. He calmed himself and tried to reach the Nascent Soul Level.
Lord Dragon, Goddess Qing Luo, Xiao Mang and even the little Qilin also took the opportunity to work hard and cultivate.
On the other hand, Chen Fan was still fishing, practicing Martial Arts, making medicine and playing with the beasts around the lake. Many beasts approached Chen Fan and even the colorful phoenix with nine heads flew back.
He stretched his body and performed different Martial Arts movements. A lot of beasts couldn’t help but to stop and watch him.
Two weeks later.
Chen Fan finally stopped. He stood at the lake and said as he looked up, “It’s time.”
Different from Xiao Mang and the others, Chen Fan had yet to encounter any difficulties when he cultivated. He had been a Celestial Lord in his past life, and his understanding had gone beyond the limits of the Golden Core and the Nascent Soul levels.
With enough Spirit Qi, he could even reach the Soul Formation or the Void Returning Level easily. He would only slow down a bit when at the Dao Reunion Level where he had to understand the mystery of the universe.
If.
Xiao Mang, Lord Dragon and the others represented people at different stages of growth.
Then, Chen Fan would already be a giant with only bones! As long as he filled in blood and flesh again, he would become a powerful giant soon.
“But what’s the point of that? I died during the Heavenly Tribulation in my previous life. Although what really killed me wasn’t that small Heavenly Tribulation, I’d be on the same path after all if I don’t become more powerful than I used to be,” Chen Fan thought.
He summarized his cultivation journey since he had been reborn.
He practiced the “Void Mortal Refinement Art” at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and both were the “Azure Thearch Longevity Art” and “Soul Refining Art” at the Ethereal Enlightenment Stage. At the Soul Refining Stage, his Divine Body reached the phenomenal success level and formed the Immortal Will Sword. At the Connate Level, he even formed a deity-grade Golden Core and forcefully went through the Tribulation. So, would most he had quite a strong foundation.
“But it’s not enough. One deity-grade Golden Core is far from enough. I may be much more powerful than the Changshen Sect and the Devil God Sect; I can also even suppress the Purple Heaven Sacred Ground, but I’m way weaker than the heirs of the Celestial Sects and monsters that show up every million years.
“They don’t have a deity-grade Golden Core, but they have a Sacred Body of the phenomenal success level, or some Emperor Body, Starry Body and Chaotic Body that no one has ever had before. None of them are weaker than a deity-grade Golden Core. Even when I completed my True Martial Sacred Body in my last life, I wasn’t afraid of a deity-grade Golden Core as well.”
“Having one deity-grade Golden Core isn’t enough to build a supreme foundation!”
Chen Fan shook his head.
He was the only one who knew how vast the universe was and how many peerless talents there were. In comparison, they were the real elites, the real Sons of God.
Some people had blood of Deities, and were able to kill Saints and fight with Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals once they were fully grown.
Some people’s parents were powerful Divine Beasts, like True Dragons and the Xuan Wu, and they were born with the body of Divine Beasts.
Some people had reincarnated many times and had a strong foundation. They would have to stay on their planets to avoid any danger.
Some people…
Those people were the real dominators of the universe, the real Sons of God! The opportunities and gifts they had made Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals and Void Returning Saints envious.
However, in the next five centuries, when thousands of elites fought and countless Divine Beasts showed up, the one who would stand on top of the world was going to be Chen Beixuan!
In his previous life.
Chen Fan was already able to defeat them.
In this life…
He didn’t think he would lose when he was so prepared and had thus far made up for all of his regrets.
“Enemies from my previous life, wait for me. I’m coming!”
Chen Fan burst into laughter.
He got up, spinned the Deity Wheel and started from the Xuan Wu Divine Form.
“Boom!”
A giant Xuan Wu ten thousand feet tall suddenly appeared in the air and all the beasts, including the phoenix, became frightened. Lord Dragon even stopped cultivating and immediately looked at the sky in shock.
“This… This is the Xuan Wu?”
His eyes popped out.
He knew in his mind how terrifying this creature was! Even though it was only at the Golden Core Level, it made all the Nascent Soul Beasts lower their heads. There were seven kinds of Divine Thunder around the Xuan Wu, showing how powerful it was.
“But the Xuan Wu is a supreme Divine Beast. Why would there be a baby Xuan Wu here? It’s a Divine Beast that travels across the universe and is able to go to the Deity Realm!”
Lord Dragon couldn’t figure it out no matter how he racked his brains.
Then, the Xuan Wu suddenly became a towering tree.
The tree was dozens of thousands of meters tall and the tree branches even tore the sky open. Countless chaotic air currents ran down like some peerless Heavenly Swords that could kill Golden Core Cultivators. Each of its branches was surrounded by stars and each leave carried a world. It was like the entire universe.
“Is this the legendary Chaotic Divine Tree? Wasn’t it broken by the Azure Thearch in the ancient times?”
Lord Dragon was confused.
The sisters of the Xu family and Goddess Qing Luo were also dumbfounded.
Only Xiao Mang and Zhao Juexian knew what was going on, but they were also stunned by Chen Fan’s full power. They finally realized he had never exerted himself before and this was his real strength.
After the Chaotic Divine Tree, the Kun Peng and the Thunder Loch also appeared. In the end, there were six earth-shattering Fiend Gods.
The energy Chen Fan produced had become greater and gradually reaching an unpredictable level.
