Chapter 1040: The Young Man in a Yellow Robe
“Sister, shut up. He saved our lives after all,” Fu Qiang said as he pulled the girl in a red gown behind him. He kept apologizing to Chen Fan and said Sister Zhang was only ignorant. In the end, he invited Chen Fan to go into the Spirit Well with them again.
Fu Qiang said, “Don’t worry, they’ll let me take one more person in.”
“All right!”
Chen Fan nodded.
He had planned to enter the Spirit Well, no matter if he had to sneak inside or force his way in. So, following Fu Qiang would serve the same purpose.
“He insisted on not coming with us just then, and now he’s following us.”
The girl in red dress grunted in disdain.
Chen Fan glanced at her but kept silent.
The little girl looked cute. She was arrogant and willful, but she wasn’t a bad person. However, Chen Fan didn’t care about such things. No matter if she was good or bad, he could simply kill her if she went overboard. The North Mystic Celestial Lord wouldn’t fuss about such an ant. He could just stomp on it if it pissed him off.
An elder with a walking stick coughed and said, “Let’s go.”
According to Fu Qiang, he was Elder Sun, an inner sect elder who led cultivators of the Spirit Husbandry Sect to this place. His power was unpredictable and he had become a Half Heavenly Lord long before.
Suddenly, someone laughed. “Haha, you’re here early.”
Dozens of thunderbolts then started striking far away, then landed in front of everyone else in an instant. A group of cultivators showed up, surrounded by lightning.
The Thunder Pole Institute!
At that moment, even Fu Qiang and Qi Feng looked serious. The Thunder Pole Institute was the most powerful among the three sects. Luckily, they had a good relationship with the Spirit Husbandry Sect. Among their cultivators, almost twenty of them were Golden Core Cultivators and the three leaders were currently enveloped in thunderbolts of different colors. Their lightning could crack the air and they apparently had a superior-grade Golden Core, showing how strong the Thunder Pole Institute was.
Then.
The Disciples of the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect had also arrived. They were a group of monsters that hadn’t been completely transformed. They were vicious and were surrounded by Blood Qi, like wild beasts. They looked fierce and cunning, and were obviously intelligent. The strongest disciples of the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect were all Golden Core Cultivators. Once they showed up, they started to rattle those from the Thunder Pole Institute.
“Senior Qi Feng, the three Chiefs of the Thunder Pole Institute and the Monster Prince of the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect are here, almost all the top young cultivators on Heavenly Jupiter,” Fu Qiang said seriously.
Sister Zhang was thrilled and her eyes glittered. She looked at Qi Feng, who had runes all over him, and the three Chiefs, who were surrounded by lightning. She was in awe even when she saw the “Monster Prince” who transformed into a human.
Not only her.
Almost all the female cultivators present were attracted to those five.
“Hm?”
Chen Fan glanced over the group of people from the Thunder Pole Institute and felt something was off when he saw a young man in a yellow robe. That young man also felt the same. He looked back at Chen Fan and smiled.
Chen Fan turned around and seemed as if he didn’t care at all, but he was in fact startled.
“His energy is flawless and he seems completely different from the Nascent Soul Cultivators on Planet Tianhuang. He’s apparently from the Star Ocean. The energy in him is also different from that of Luo Changshen and Lord Dragon, but his Dharma Power is extremely powerful, comparable to Luo Changshen’s. Which large sect in the Star Ocean does he belong to?”
Chen Fan’s heart sank.
Luo Changshen, Lord Dragon, then this cultivator in a yellow robe. This meant that people from the Star Ocean had started to gather in the Abandoned Planet Region. He had already seen a few on Planet Tianhuang and Heavenly Jupiter, so how many of them would there be in the planet region in the central area?
Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn’t repress his anger and he wanted to rush back to Earth right away, but he stopped himself.
He had to find out the truth about Heavenly Jupiter.
Only then could he know who was behind all this and be prepared when he returned to Earth.
“The Spirit Well is open!”
Then.
The giant crater shook slightly and the green light pillars disappeared. The Spirit Well was officially open. There was a commotion in the crowd, but nobody dared to step forward in front of the Wood Monsters.
A pretty female cultivator of the Thunder Pole Institute said to the young man in a yellow robe, “Let’s go, Brother Lin.”
The female cultivator was tall and gorgeous. She had a wheatish skin tone and was elegant. She was the top female cultivator of the Thunder Pole Institute who had a sixth-grade Golden Core. She was curious about that young man; he was enveloped in mist, which made people feel drawn to him.
“Thank you for inviting me here.”
The young man smiled at the female cultivator. Her face blushed immediately.
The young man turned aside and his smile disappeared. How would Lin He lay eyes on a female cultivator from a barren planet region? Being the famous young Overlord that he was in the entire Little South Heavenly Realm, many people across different planet regions knew of Lin He of the Demon Sun Sect. Countless female cultivators wanted to marry him. Lin He was extremely powerful; not even the Sect Master and the Ancestral Patriarchs of the Thunder Pole Institute were able to deal with him.
“But why did I feel like I was in danger, as if some fierce beast was staring at me?” Lin He wondered.
Mu Xiao—the Master of the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect and the cultivator with the highest level on Heavenly Jupiter—had disappeared a few thousand years in the past. However, the Sect Master of Thunder Pole Institute and the Chiefs and Grand Elders of the Spirit Husbandry Sect were at most mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators; they were actually fake Nascent Soul Cultivators, so they wouldn’t be able to hurt him.
“Perhaps the disciples of other imperishable sects also came to Heavenly Jupiter. Hm, they’re digging their own graves!”
A glint of purple light flashed in Lin He’s eyes.
He cracked an evil smile as he put his hand around the waist of that beautiful cultivator. The female cultivator didn’t resist and her face became redder.
Right then.
Cultivators of the three sects were flying to the Spirit Well under the lead of the Wood Monsters.
Those who entered at the moment were mostly Connate and Golden Core Cultivators, while Elder Sun and Officer Ding stayed outside. Young disciples who went to the Spirit Well the first time had the highest chance of being enlightened and having a breakthrough.
“Hm, we let that kid mooch off us.”
Officer Ding looked at Chen Fan and grunted.
“He saved Lingmeng’s life. It’s okay to give him a place in the Spirit Well. The Spirit Husbandry Sect is a large sect on this planet and we’re well-mannered. Besides, Lingmeng is the descendant the Ancestral Patriarch adores the most,” Elder Sun said.
Meanwhile.
Cultivators of the three sects had entered the Spirit Well. They felt that the place was lively and the Spirit Qi was much denser than any other cultivation grounds on the outside world. There was even some Dao energy, which made them want to start cultivating immediately. It was indeed the top sacred ground on Heavenly Jupiter.
The deeper they went into the Spirit Well, the denser the Spirit Qi.
“Swish!”
So, many cultivators flew down quickly and tried to get to the bottom, occupying the best spot for cultivation. And yet, normal Connate Cultivators were unable to go more than a thousand feet deep; even the stronger ones would stop at one thousand and thirty feet.
“This place should be fine.”
Fu Qiang found a platform and told Zhang Lingmeng about it. They were planning to cultivate here.
“Where’s Brother Chen?” Fu Qiang wondered.
“Hm, he’s at most an early-stage Connate Cultivator and his foundation isn’t strong enough. I think he can only go three to four hundred feet,” Zhang Lingmeng said in disdain and suddenly became serious.
“Brother Fu, I know what you’re thinking, but it’s useless to rope him in. Even if he has a breakthrough, he can only get to the mid-stage Connate Level and is still a few states away from the Golden Core Level. Besides, the cultivation arts he practices aren’t pure. I’m afraid he can only form an inferior-grade Golden Core. He has no use for you, no matter how powerful his Sword Arts are. However, if you work harder and form a sixth-grade Golden Core, you’ll be one of the top cultivators under Senior. By then, our Ancestral Patriarch may agree to let us get married when your Master comes to ask for permission.”
Fu Qiang was surprised to hear Zhang Lingmeng say something like that. He then heaved a sigh.
“I guess.”
Even though Chen Fan knew powerful Sword Arts, he was just a Connate Cultivator after all, and he was completely different from disciples of the large sects like them.
“You’re right. After all, power and level are more important in the Realm of Cultivation. I should be able to form fifth-grade or even a sixth-grade Golden Core after this visit. It should be easier for me to marry you.”
Thinking of this, Fu Qiang gave up his desire to rope Chen Fan in.
When his Golden Core reached the sixth grade, Chen Fan would still be a Connate Cultivator, even if his Sword Arts were powerful.
As Officer Ding said, he could just kill him with a bolt of lightning. Skills were nothing in front of absolute power. The two of them then calmed themselves and started cultivating with their legs crossed.
Meanwhile.
Chen Fan had reached a depth of ten thousand feet down the Spirit Well. It was the bottom of the well. Even peak-stage Golden Core Cultivators would be overwhelmed in such a place, and only a couple of old cultivators or Nascent Soul Cultivators could stay there for a long time.
“It’s here.”
Chen Fan looked down.
That was the barrier that interfered with Chen Fan’s Immortal Will.
A layer of green light appeared in front of Chen Fan. It shone over the entire bottom of the Spirit Well; it seemed to be indestructible. More importantly, it carried a strong wood elemental energy. It wasn’t the True Martial Sky-severing Array.
“This is?”
While Chen Fan frowned.
Someone said in shock, “You?”
