Chapter 1050: Nobody Knows Me
Six years in the past.
Which was 2020.
This was a special year. In Chen Fan’s previous life, Master Cangqin had also taken him and Fang Qiong away that year. Chen Fan couldn’t accept this. He got out of Yingzhou Island with the giant eagle and flew all over China.
He went to Yan Jin, West Mountain, Hong Kong, Zhong Hai, Jin City…
Along the way—
Chen Fan saw how Earth had changed in the past decade. The flourishing streets were full of towering Qi Refinement Arenas. All kinds of arenas, sects and gangs had been built next to the department stores and shopping centers, becoming the busiest places in a city.
Even though many people were unable to cultivate and had no talent whatsoever, they still practiced a few moves in the arenas to strengthen their bodies. The disciples who practiced Qi Refinement were even wearing outfits given by the country. Normal people would make way for them and they were surrounded by some pretty girls.
However, Connate Cultivators were rarely seen even in the big cities and there were only a few Golden Core Cultivators in each city.
Whenever Chen Fan arrived in a city, he searched around with his Immortal Will, but he still couldn’t find Fang Qiong and Chen Huaian. They seemed to have disappeared from Earth.
Some people he knew, like Jiang Tanqiu and Yan Xiaobai, were there, but they had already gotten married and had kids. They were living a simple and happy life, so Chen Fan didn’t want to disturb them. He continued to look around and didn’t miss any places that Fang Qiong and the others would possibly be.
Chen Fan even tried to look for the former disciples of the North Qiong Sect and the Chen family.
And yet, the North Qiong Sect had disappeared after a decade. Even their headquarters on East Mountain and the North Qiong Pavilion had been destroyed. How could he find any disciples? Even if he could, they wouldn’t know a thing. They only knew the senior members of the North Qiong Sect had disappeared together six years before. The North Qiong Sect and North Qiong Corp then suffered a huge blow afterwards.
So, when the North Qiong Sect was gone, those disciples also lost their backbone and left one after another, while senior members like A’Xiu, Yukishiro Sa and Yu Wenjin had been missing for many years.
Chen Fan didn’t hide his true self on the street most of the time, but nobody recognized him: Chen Beixuan, who had been so famous on Earth back then. Some people might feel that he looked familiar sometimes, but they weren’t sure.
After a decade—
Everything was taken away by time. Earth had new heros, new Overlords and new leaders at the moment. Chen Fan was like an old has-been. Nobody in the world knew him anymore.
In the end—
Chen Fan returned to Chu Zhou City.
The night had fallen. Chen Fan stood on the top of the mountain with the Soul Tablet in his hand. He looked at the stars in the sky. He stayed there for a long time as his eyes glittered.
There was a Dharma Spell that could trace blood and Divine Soul. Even if that person was billions of light years away, he would still be able to find him. However, this Divine Power was too frightening, as it involved karma. Not even top Grand Cultivators would dare to use it, or they might die right away. It was one of the forbidden arts in the Star Ocean. At the same time, he could definitely find whoever he wanted, as long as he paid the right price.
Even Chen Fan wasn’t sure if he should use this Divine Art. Karma was the most terrifying energy in the world. Celestial Lords might not be afraid of it, but they still needed to be careful.
Finally, Chen Fan made a decision with determination in his eyes.
“Crack!”
Chen Fan used his left hand as a knife with golden glitters at the fingertips and slashed his right hand.
Poof!
There was a wound that was an inch long on his right hand and a drop of azure blood oozed out. The surrounding Spirit Qi surged and plants grew quickly, as if stimulated by something. The drop of blood was then dripped onto the Soul Tablet.
“Blood draws towards blood. Divine Soul, please lead the way!” Chen Fan said with a serious look. His powerful Dharma Power surged into the Soul Tablet in front of his chest.
“Buzz!”
After absorbing the blood, the Soul Tablet floated in the air and let out rays of azure light. It spinned continuously and it instantly took Chen Fan’s Immortal Will through worlds and planet regions. In the end, Chen Fan saw a faint image of a woman in a white outfit, who was enveloped in mist.
“Xiao Qiong?”
When Chen Fan widened his eyes and tried to look more carefully, the image of the woman in front of him disappeared. He came back to reality.
“Again!” Chen Fan yelled as fire burned in his eyes.
He slashed his hand again, harder than before. A large amount of blood dripped onto the Soul Tablet as he continued to recite the spell. The Soul Tablet was initiated and it lit up, taking Chen Fan’s Divine Soul through space. He saw that woman once again.
“Closer, closer!”
Chen Fan widened his eyes.
The face of the woman in white outfit gradually became clearer.
“That’s Xiao Qiong. That’s definitely Xiao Qiong. I’ll recognize her no matter how far she is.” Chen Fan’s eyes shone brighter.
“Open!”
In order to see clearly, he poured more blood on the tablet, as if he didn’t want to live.
Such a Divine Power could originally be used to find families and loved ones only. Every time normal cultivators used it, they had to be extremely careful. Otherwise, their Divine Soul might be crushed by the energy. After all, karma was the most mysterious energy in the world. Besides, the Divine Power required a lot of blood and Essence Qi.
And yet, this was the only way he could find his family.
“Boom!”
Then, the Soul Tablet started shaking violently and it sent out some azure light. The image around the woman in a white outfit was also shown.
Chen Fan opened his eyes wider and saw the woman standing on a mountain. That mountain was tall, as if the sun, moon and stars were floating around it.
The woman looked serious, as if listening to her teacher. There were a few young men next to her, who seemed to be telling her something. Each of them had powerful energy that was way stronger than that of Luo Changshen and Lin He, but the woman ignored them and was still focused.
Then, the woman in white outfit seemed to have sensed something and she turned to Chen Fan’s direction. When she turned her head, Chen Fan was startled.
“Xiao Qiong!”
The profile of that woman was almost identical to Fang Qiong. She was a bit more ethereal, but how could Chen Fan be wrong?
Crack!
When Chen Fan recognized her, the entire image was shattered, turning into countless dots of light. The crystal clear Soul Tablet made with jade stone also let out a sound and fell on the ground. Its light was dimmed; Chen Fan would be unable to use it again in a while.
But Chen Fan didn’t care about it.
Even though he had just one look, he knew it was Fang Qiong and he found out where she was. He was familiar with that place. In the five centuries of his previous life, he had spent four centuries there.
The Northern Region of the Central Galaxy.
The True Martial Celestial Sect!
“I’m glad you’re okay.”
Chen Fan looked at the sky.
He was truly billions of light years away from that girl, one on this side and one on the other! Even with his power, it would take him more than ten thousand years to get there.
But there was only joy in Chen Fan’s mind.
Xiao Qiong was safe. It seemed that Master Cangqin had taken her away six years before, back to the True Martial Celestial Sect. Since she was fine, then his parents, Xu Rongfei, Sister An and Chen Huaian should also be okay. After all, they had disappeared at the same time. Even if they weren’t at the True Martial Celestial Sect, the Soul Tablet showed that they were alive, so they were probably somewhere in the universe.
Chen Fan lay on the ground and said with a wry smile, “Mom, Dad, Fei Fei, grandpa, why didn’t you wait for me? I came all the way from Planet Tianhuang to see you, but now you’re nowhere to be found. This makes me so sad.”
He spurted out blood as he spoke. In the end, his clothes were covered with light azure blood, but he didn’t notice that.
A Grand Divine Power like this was a terrifying Dharma Spell. Chen Fan could easily use it within the range of a planet or galaxy, but could he not pay a price after looking at the True Martial Celestial Sect across billions of light years with the Golden Core Level?
However, Chen Fan didn’t care about it at all and he looked calm. This was what he had expected. The injuries were just temporary, so it wasn’t a big deal. He said as he looked at Star Ocean, “Mom, Dad, Xiao Qiong, grandpa, wait for me. I’ll travel across this endless universe and come to you one day!”
Even though his energy was weak right then, his eyes were glittering, just like God’s!
