Chapter 945 - Public Enemy at Mount Reincarnation

Her young age added to the rarity of her talent. No one could even imagine how powerful she could be in the future. Many elders murmured to each other in private, saying that she could very likely reach the Nascent Soul realm and become the master of the Reincarnation Sect.

Therefore, the entire sect kept a close eye on her every movement.

The sudden appearance of her brother immediately caught everyone’s attention.

No one knew where Chen Fan came from and Shenxi’s vague description of Xiao Mang’s background added more mystery to Chen Fan.

“Xiao Mang has a brother? I thought she was the last surviving Dragon blood’s descendant.”

“Those are just speculations. The last Dragon Kin on Planet Tianhuang died a hundred thousand years ago. Shenxi mentioned that she had a step brother who was in a deadly Extraterrestrial War.”

“So you think he is that Step Brother? He survived an Extraterrestrial Battle?” many people exclaimed.

Tianhuang was an ancient cultivation planet and therefore, its cultivators knew they were not alone in the vast universe.

The so-called Extraterrestrial Battle was either a battle fought in outer space or against alien worlds.

Regardless of what kind of battle it was, he had to be a Golden Core Cultivator to even survive the oppressive Dimensional Storm. In addition, an average Golden Core Cultivator was as good as cannon fodder in those battles. It would take a peak Golden Core Cultivator to stand his ground.

Therefore, the fact that Chen Fan had returned from such a battle alive meant that he possessed unthinkable power, on par with a top Longevity Roll Elite.

“Shenxi encountered Ancient Demons while looking for the Butian Medicine in the Two World Peak. I believe he was in that battle as well,” some people guessed.

Many disciples’ eyes lit up with excitement.

Chen Fan not only had a powerful sister, but also was a hero returning from an Extraterrestrial Battle. No one would pass up the opportunity of cozying up to him.

Someone also marveled at the prospect that Violet Moon Peak was going to have two Heavenly Lords, both descendants of the Ancient Dragon Kin.

However, someone quickly gave them a dose of reality.

“Humph! Her brother is not even a Golden Core Cultivator. His art is much similar to the Demon School instead of the Dragon Kin’s Art.”

“Really?”

The revelation shocked Mount Reincarnation.

“That’s right,” Lin Xiao chimed in.

He was a peak Golden Core Cultivator and could accurately register a person’s level of attainment. Lin Xiao believed that Chen Fan had no True Dragon Bloodline and was, in fact, an average mortal. His level of attainment was at the Connate Spirit, at most.

Everyone believed him because he was the heir of the Grand Elder.

Suddenly, Chen Fan’s image quickly deteriorated in their minds.

Everyone, including elites in Heavenly Sects, would butter him up if he had the True Dragon Bloodline, an aspiring Nascent Soul Cultivator.

However, if he was a mediocre Connate Cultivator, that would be a different story, even if he was Xiao Mang’s brother.

It was like being a member of the Heavenly Lord Family without inheriting any of the Heavenly Lord’s abilities.

Just like everyone else, Chen Fan would perish in less than a hundred years.

Meanwhile, a Golden Core Cultivator or a Nascent Soul Cultivator would live thousands of years. Therefore, the average mortal was nothing in their eyes.

Such was the brutal honesty of the Cultivation realm. Strength was the only measure of power.

“Hehe. He’s just a powerless Connate Cultivator. Even if he did escape the Extraterrestrial Battle, he must have done it with the help of Goddess Shenxi.”

Some Golden Core Cultivators burst out laughing.

Those elites would look down upon anyone who was below the Golden Core. Even those inferior-grade Golden Core Cultivators could be subject to their disdain.

They only considered mid-grade and superior-grade Golden Core Cultivators their peers.

“Sigh… I thought he had extraordinary talent and was Longevity Roll material. Little did I know that he was just an average joe.”

Some attractive cultivators shook their heads in disappointment.

In the cultivation realm, Just as goddesses were subjects of admiration, so too were powerful male cultivators. They were highly popular among a lot of female cultivators.

Many attractive female cultivators had even forsaken cultivation, putting all of their hopes in marrying someone with a powerful bloodline so that their children would rise to power in the future.

“Plus, Goddess Shenxi had said that he was Xiao Mang’s step brother. So it’s unlikely that he has the same bloodline,” someone said thoughtfully.

Suddenly, everyone was shocked by the implication of such a revelation.

The fact that they weren’t related meant that they could get married. It had made Chen Fan the sworn enemy of many male cultivators who wanted to court Xiao Mang.

Just as the female cultivators were after Longevity Roll Elties, so too the elite male heirs had set their eyes on Xiao Mang.

“We need to teach him a lesson.”

“Does he really think he’s worthy of the True Dragon Goddess’ hand? It would have to be at least someone like Li Huaixian or Jun Aochen.”

“Just so. I will suggest the elders to expel him from Mount Reincarnation.”

Suddenly, Chen Fan had become public enemy No. 1.

“What a shame. It would be so great if he really was Xiao Mang’s brother and was bearer of the True Dragon Bloodline. I’m sure the family elders would agree to the marriage even if the younger sister insisted to marry him as well.”

Zhu Ninmuo heaved a sigh of disappointment.

The difference between having and not having the bloodline was huge.

Such was the reality of the cultivation world.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan had settled in at the Violet Moon Peak with Xiao Mang’s assistance.

Violet Moon Peak, True Dragon Pavilion…

It was located right underneath the mountain peak. The pavilion had been created by Elder Tiangong for Xiao Mang. Thirty six hundred meter tall pillars supported its giant roof. Each pillar was carved with a coiling golden dragon.

In the True Dragon Pavilion, even the weakest servant had reached the late-stage Connate Spirit.

On the floor, a layer of golden mist swirled near the surface. It was unleashed by the True Dragon’s Heavenly Medicine.

“Looks like the Reincarnation Sect has treated you well.”

Chen Fan sensed that the Spirit Qi was ten times more intense than anywhere in the sect. It was apparent that the sect had cast a Spirit Gathering Array near the pavilion.

True Dragon’s Heavenly Medicine

Superior-grade Spirit Gathering Array

Not even a Heavenly Lord Family could afford to have both of them. It was indicative of Mount Reincarnation’s unmatched wealth and power.

“They spared no expense on Xiao Mang.”

Chen Fan nodded, realizing that it wouldn’t be easy for them to let go of Xiao Mang.

However, he was the North Mystic Celestial Lord and would not be deterred by a Nascent Soul Sect. If worse came to worst, Chen Fan just had to offer them some compensation. He had some treasures under his sleeve that would even be tantalizing to a Grand Cultivator. While he thought about this, he turned to look at Xiao Mang.

In the past three years, the teenage girl had grown up.

Her appearance had changed a lot ever since her True Dragon Bloodline had been awakened. Her hair turned blond while her features became better defined. She looked just like a Dragon Princess. No wonder the disciples of the Reincarnation Sect didn’t realize that she was actually Chinese. She had also reached the mid-stage of the Connate Spirit with a very strong foundation for the Core Formation.

“Brother…”

Xiao Mang battered her lashes as tears welled in her eyes.

The Chen Fan she met three years in the past was a mighty power that brought the Beihan Region to heel and defeated the Lord of five Barren Regions. Even among the Reincarnation Sects, only a very handful among the Longevity Roll elites could pull that off.

However, Chen Fan was just a shadow of his former glory at the moment.

Xiao Mang felt that his energy was even weaker than the Golden Core level.

When the two stood together, Xiao Mang’s energy was much stronger, carrying the supreme majesty of the True Dragon. Meanwhile, Chen Fan’s energy only appeared in fits and starts, waning with each appearance. He was weaker than a Connate Cultivator. It was apparent that he had sustained very heavy injuries in the battle against the Ancient Demons.

“Boohoo. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. You had to risk your life to save me. I’m so useless.”

Xiao Mang murmured. Her eyes were red from crying.

Chen Fan padded the girl’s head and said with a smile, “Silly girl.”

He had held back his Fiend Qi in order to attract less attention. Otherwise, the Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art in his body would transform the land into a demonic kingdom. It was an art of supreme power from the realm of fiends and demons.

However, Xiao Mang was unaware of any of that, so more tears poured out of her eyes.

Meanwhile, Yun Yier and the ther girls tried to hold back their laughter.

“Mind your behavior! Release our Goddess right now!”

A few female disciples rushed forward to separate the two and then dragged Xiao Mang behind them. They glared at Chen Fan as if he were a pervert.

Xiao Mang was taken aback by the interruption and realized how silly she had become. So she burst out laughing.

Seeing they were being watched, Chen Fan decided to ask Xiao Mang about Shenxi at another time.

Afterwards, Chen Fan settled in at the Violet Moon Peak, as he waited for Shenxi’s Tribulation.
