Yan Jin.
That old city with three thousand years of history had a population of five million people and was the center of China and the Earth. Countless media, corporations, celebrities and money circulated there. There were many buildings that were thousands of meters tall. The top families and the most powerful cultivators in China were gathered in this city, let alone the cultivation sacred grounds.
This day—
Qin Dongmu walked out of the Qin family garden wearing a silk robe and tailor-made shoes. He was fiddling with a pair of shiny jade spheres with his hand. They were apparently Dharma Artifacts of high quality that constantly released Spirit Qi to nourish the body. Besides, there were eight other Dharma Treasures on his body which had the Spirit Artifact level.
“Morning, Old Lord Qin.”
“Hope you’re doing well.”
“I heard that my Lady is about to break through to the Connate Level. I must join you for celebration when the time comes.”
People congratulated Qin Dongmu as he walked, but he only nodded with a smile and left the wealthy district.
“Qin Dongmu is so lucky. Chen Beixuan refused to marry his daughter, Qin Yaner, when Chen Beixuan dominated the world. But once he left, Qin Yaner immediately became a disciple of the Wuji Arena and the Qin family also became one of the eight large families in Yan Jin.”
“You’re right. Among the other families that were comparable to the Qin family back then, only the Xiao family is still surviving. The Wang family and the Li family have already disappeared. The Wangs were actually related to Chen Beixuan’s grandfather.”
“We should gain the favor of those sacred grounds instead. Chen Beixuan isn’t reliable. Who knows when he’ll disappear again?”
“Not just disappear. I heard that the elders of the sacred grounds have said that they’re going to eliminate him.”
Many people whispered after Qin Dongmu left.
That was a top district in Yan Jin, a wealthy place which was located in the suburban area. There was abundant Spirit Qi, so it was great for cultivation. People who lived there kept eyes all over the country.
The disciples of the Taichu Temple had recently said that they would allow Chen Fan to be a member of the cultivation sacred grounds. That news had already circulated among the upper class of Yan Jin.
Many people were guessing what Chen Fan would do.
“I don’t think that’s possible. Chen Beixuan is the top cultivator in the world. He even exterminated the eight alien races.”
“He’s just taking advantage of their situation. Haven’t you heard that the top Overlords of the eight Dark Races are all in the ‘deity ground’? Besides, the cultivation sacred grounds are much more powerful than the Dark Races.”
“If Chen Beixuan is wise enough, he should join one of the sacred grounds and form alliances. The North Qiong Sect would also become a sacred ground after a dozen years or so.”
But Qin Dongmu didn’t think so.
“Hm, kid, you refused to marry Yaner back then, and now, she’s already become a disciple of the Wuji Arena. She’s even going to marry one of their Majesties. Once she has a son, the Qin family will have support even from outside of the planet. We may even be able to move to the Star Ocean and establish a new cultivation family! And you, just stay here and wait for the sacred grounds to finish you!”
Qin Dongmu sneered.
Apart from the Qin family, the top families in Yan Jin—including the Xiao family, the Lei family, the Meng family and the Long family—had established all kinds of relations with the cultivation sacred grounds. Many of their daughters had been married off to some young cultivators of those sects.
Those young men weren’t normal disciples, but respected descendants of the large sects in the Star Ocean.
They might have already had more than one wife there, but those families in Yan Jin weren’t worried about such details. It would be a great opportunity for them if their daughters could marry those young men. They might not like ordinary women, but those like Qin Yaner and Jiang Churan were gorgeous, elegant and had cultivation talents.
“It’s time for Yaner to think about how she can please ‘Yinlan.’ I heard that he’s a descendant of the Wuji Sect,” Qin Dongmu thought. He had no idea Chen Fan had killed Yinlan, the young man with silver wings.
When Qin Dongmu left—
A thunderous voice was suddenly heard. Everyone looked up and saw someone floating in the sky like the sun.
“Chen Beixuan?”
Qin Dongmu was startled.
“Chen Beixuan from the North Qiong Sect has come! All the cultivators from other planets, come on out…!”
Even though Chen Fan wasn’t loud, his voice resounded in a few hundred miles radius, even making Yan Jin shake.
All the members of the large families, sects, consortiums, media and celebrities looked up and witnessed it.
At that moment.
Yan Jin had been stirred.
“Oh God. Who’s that?”
“Didn’t you hear that? Chen Beixuan from the North Qiong Sect, Heavenly Lord Chen is here in Yan Jin, and he’s challenging the cultivation sacred grounds.”
“Wow, that’s some earth-shattering news. Looks like the world will be in chaos again. How long has Chen Beixuan been quiet? He’s going after those cultivation sacred grounds so soon?”
Countless people were shocked.
News about Chen Fan’s appearance in Yan Jin was swiftly spread around China and the world through the Internet, live-broadcast platforms and televisions.
The planet was astonished again.
Billions of people immediately focused their attention on Yan Jin.
Chen Fan had just defeated the Dark Races. He was going after the cultivators from other planets so soon?
Many people’s hearts sank. The Dark Races were kind of predictable, but those from the Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena, the Sun Palace and the Xuankong Sect were not. Nobody knew how much power they actually had.
Members of the upper class of Yan Jin understood that those cultivators were from other planets and had a much higher level, as well as a much more powerful background. They were truly the dominators of the Earth.
“Chen Beixuan is doomed. I heard that there’s more than one Nascent Soul Cultivator in those cultivation sacred grounds, and they even have Divine Princes with divine-grade Golden Cores. Chen Beixuan only killed the Ancestral Patriarch of the Kindred with the help of a sword array. He may be no match for those real monsters,” someone on the CIA underground forum said anxiously.
But most of the others were actually quite confident with Chen Fan. After all, he had eliminated the eight alien races alone.
At that moment—
Everyone in the world was looking in that direction.
“Brother, wait for me.”
Chen Xiao looked at Chen Fan and gave a wry smile. He immediately tore his suit apart, jumped off the Beiding Pavilion with his True Essence and went after Chen Fan.
Still inside the Beiding Pavilion, many disciples of the large families in Yan Jin were watching that scene with stunned expressions.
“Yinlan, Jinyao and the others are dead… Yuan Xiao was also caught by Chen Beixuan. What should we do?” a Connate Cultivator yelled as his hands trembled.
That sexy woman in a light green dress even collapsed on the ground.
Chen Fan flashed across the sky and held Yuan Xiao as he looked at Mount Yan.
His eyes with golden glitters saw through layers of arrays; he could also see many cultivators surging from the tall buildings on the peak of Mount Yan.
“You’re digging your own grave. You have no idea who you’re provoking. The large sects can crush you to pieces with a mere finger.”
Yuan Xiao’s ribs were fractured and his chest was dented. His face had turned pale, but he still continued to speak.
“Oh? Really?” Chen Fan said indifferently.
Yuan Xiao laughed and said with a mocking tone, “Haha, the ‘Wuji Sect’ is behind Wuji Arena, the ‘Taichu Divine Realm’ is behind Taichu Temple and the ‘Niekong Sect’ is behind the Xuankong Sect. As for the man with golden eyes you killed, he was a descendant of the ‘Apollo Palace.’ That’s a famous imperishable sect in the Star Ocean. They have a Soul Formation Grand Cultivator and thousands of Nascent Soul Cultivators.
“Do you know what a Soul Formation Cultivator is? That’s someone who can kill a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a drop of blood and can even slash the moon down from the sky.”
Yuan Xiao kept his arrogant stance.
“So, what should I do?” Chen Fan still sounded calm.
“Put me down and surrender to the elders of the Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena and the Sun Palace. I can convince them to spare you. Although you did something really wrong, ignorance can be forgiven. Besides, with my help, the elders would probably let you go,” Yuan Xiao said.
As he spoke, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
“Oh, really? Are you sure the elders wouldn’t kill me once I put you down? After all, I killed Yinlan, Jinyao and a few others.” Chen Fan turned around and stared at Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao froze with fear and shame on his face.
He still wanted to try to convince Chen Fan, but Chen Fan had looked away and continued, “Besides, ‘Apollo Palace,’ the ‘Wuji Sect’ and the ‘Niekong Sect’ are only powerful in the Little South Heavenly Realm. They can’t even be compared to a normal sect in the Central Galaxy.”
“You know about the Little South Heavenly Realm and the Central Galaxy?”
Yuan Xiao’s eyes popped out.
Those were things only disciples from the Star Ocean knew. People in the Abandoned Planet Region would have never heard a word about them.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the arrays opened and countless beams of light were shot from the ground. Many Connate Connate Overlords appeared, lining up in the sky and creating four formations. After that, the elders and deacons wearing armors, silver robes or golden robes stepped out. Each of them was much more powerful than the cultivators of the Dark Races.
Finally—
Eight young men—who were all peak-stage Golden Core Cultivators and were much stronger than normal Half Heavenly Lords—showed up. Their leader was a man with purple eyes and blonde hair. The others were extremely respectful when they saw him.
The blonde man with purple eyes stared at Chen Fan and shouted, “Was it you who humiliated us?”
His thunderous voice resounded all over Yan Jin.
