May 7th, 2031 AD, North Qiong Calendar, 3rd year.
It had been three years since Chen Fan defeated the coalition army of thousands of sects and killed a Soul Formation cultivator with one hand. Earth was developing and changing every single day during that three year period.

Swish!

Many flying ships sailed across the sky. They were a dozen feet long, with many different kinds of shapes, including begonia leaf shapes, tiger and leopard shapes, giant beast shapes and fusiform shapes. They were driven by different energies, most of them with both magnetic force and Dharma Power. Two different powers, combining technology and Deity Arts had been integrated in a wonderful way.
In regards to the world—
Spirit Qi became denser by the day. Up until then, the density had reached a level on par with Planet Tianhuang or even higher. Many old men who weren’t suitable for cultivation also started practicing Physical Conditioning Arts at the moment; they performed different forms and tactics in the parks, arenas and suburbs, creating fierce sounds and extremely powerful fist energy. More talents appeared on Earth in that period. A large number of cultivators, including the younger ones like Chen Jiuyang, Gao Baisheng and Huo Zhengtang had reached the Golden Core level.
Ye Nantian, Azure Dragon and Jiang Churan were even about to enter the Nascent Soul level.
However, the most powerful one was undoubtedly A’Xiu.
During Chen Fan’s three-year seclusion, A’Xiu managed the entire Earth and the North Qiong Sect on his behalf. This girl looked a lot different than she used to, whose power surged tremendously, became firmer after going through life and death experiences. She was the one who had forcefully issued the orders that many others weren’t willing to enforce, like setting up branches of the North Qiong Sect on every planet in order to expand the sect to every place in the entire Abandoned Planet Region.
Many cultivators in the Abandoned Planet Region—including Zhang Qihao, Heavenly Lord Anpo and Master Ling Yun—were against it, but A’Xiu didn’t show them any mercy and immediately killed them. Everyone finally settled down after she killed eight resisting Nascent Soul cultivators. A’Xiu showed her unstoppable energy and the power of the Five Element Divine Meridians during that battle, astonishing the world. Not even normal peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were a match for her.
After three years of integration—
The entire Earth and the Abandoned Planet Region became more flourishing.
A large amount of resources were produced on South Gate Planet next to planet Earth every day. The materials of countless planets were being delivered to Earth from every corner of the Abandoned Planet Region and were then transferred to other planets via Earth. Many cultivators, including tons of Nascent Soul cultivators, had gathered on Earth, as if they had returned to the ancient times when Overlords were found everywhere.
A man and a woman were walking on the street in Zhong Hai. The man said,
This place is pretty flourishing. Although the cultivators aren’t as powerful as those on the home planets of the Divine Sects, they’re comparable to the cultivators on the resident planets of the normal sects.

Both of them looked ordinary and their energy was only at the Connate Level. Connate Cultivators used to be like Heavenly Beings in the past; their strength alone would shake the planet by merely stomping their feet in a city. There currently were many Nascent Soul cultivators and tons of Golden Core cultivators on Earth. Connate Cultivators were nothing anymore.

This is the place where the Deities trapped a fiend. Once it starts to revive, it’ll certainly become quite flourishing. However, their high-end combat power is still much weaker than that of the other planet regions. I guess there are only a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators on the whole planet.
The girl in a white-fitted casual outfit was wearing sunglasses and her long hair fluttered in the wind, looking like an aloof beauty.
A hundred Nascent Soul cultivators were certainly a lot when compared to normal sects or planets, but that sounded weak when compared to the imperishable sects and the large planet regions.

Although there are a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators here, most of them came from different places of the Abandoned Planet Region. Only a few of them truly belong to Earth.
The man, Dong Zihao, smiled in disdain.
Just a few Nascent Soul cultivators on a planet. If it wasn’t for the ‘Divine Lord of the North Qiong Sect,’ Chen Beixuan, this so-called Planet East would be inferior to even any normal planet with life in our ‘Golden Bird Planet Region.’

In the Golden Bird Planet Region where Apollo Palace was located—
There were tons of Nascent Soul cultivators and many Grand Cultivators. Each star was as large as a planet and was a hundred times bigger than Earth, comparable to Planet Tianhuang; those were the real cultivation sacred grounds. Dong Zihao and his sister were the core disciples of Apollo Palace; they had already entered the Nascent Soul level a long time before.

However, both of them became serious at the same time when they talked about Chen Fan.
The senior members of the Divine Sects were still figuring out what exactly happened at the end of the battle outside Earth three years in the past. Many cultivators in the Little South Heavenly Realm were wondering what made those Soul Formation Grand Cultivators hesitate and remain unwilling to retaliate. Two Princes of Apollo Palace had died. Given the Emperor’s temper, he wouldn’t simply let it go.
But in fact—
The Grand Cultivators of the Taichu Divine Realm, the Wuji Sect, the Niekong Sect and the imperishable sects… All had their hands tied. None of them had made a move to visit the Abandoned Planet Region and create trouble for Chen Fan. However, at the same time, the Divine Sects also sent out their low-level disciples to sneak into the Abandoned Planet Region like ants, mainly on Earth in the North Qiong Sect. They wanted to know what the North Qiong Sect and Chen Fan were capable of.
Dong Zihao frowned and said,
Sister, we’ve been on Earth for several years. We both know that this planet is flourishing, developing, lively and full of potential. There may be an imperishable sect here after ten thousand years pass. And yet, there isn’t anyone at all who can threaten the Ancestral Masters and Divine Lords at this point.


That’s right.
The aloof girl nodded.

A’Xiu is the most powerful among the senior members of the North Qiong Sect, but she’s also just a peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Heavenly Lord Yuan is already eighty and his energy has declined. He’s at most a Half Soul Formation cultivator. As for the others, they’re just a group of juniors; they haven’t even reached the Nascent Soul level. So, how could the Ancestral Masters be scared of them? Unless…
Dong Zihao wanted to say something but stopped.

You mean Chen Beixuan, the Divine Lord of the North Qiong Sect who has been hiding from the world and hasn’t shown up for three years?
The cold girl turned around.

Although the information those rogue cultivators brought back is too ridiculous. A Deity, billions of miles tall and as large as a planet, appeared and killed Divine Lord Tatian with one palm? You and I know that not even Soul Formation Grand Cultivators are that powerful. Still, if there’s someone on this planet who could make the Ancestral Masters and Divine Lords fearful, it would probably be him,
Dong Zihao said with a deep voice.
The two of them became silent after that exchange.
The Divine Lord of the North Qiong Sect, Chen Fan, who was also called
Beixuan,
was an Overlord who had risen in the Abandoned Planet Region in recent years.
When he first appeared, nobody in the planet regions and the large sects in the entire Little South Heavenly Realm would look him in the eye. Only the Demon Sun Sect and the Changshen Sect—whose Divine Princes had been killed—paid attention to him. However, no one in the vast Little South Heavenly Realm had heard about his name anymore after the battle of the thousand sects ended.
A peerless elite under fifty, who had defeated the coalition army of the seven Divine Sects, slayed the Half Grand Cultivators, killed the Prince of Apollo Palace and crushed a Soul Formation cultivator with one hand… Those rumors were becoming stranger and stranger. In the end, some even said that he was a Deity in Heaven reincarnated to oversee the human world.
Excluding the most unrealistic ones, many people agreed that Chen Fan might be a reincarnated Grand Cultivator.

He’s the reincarnation of a Grand Cultivator, but from the Abandoned Planet Region. No wonder he could rise, defeating Prince Qin Jian and His Highness,
the girl said with a trace of admiration in her eyes.
The King of Falling Stars, Qin Jian, Prince Qin Ye…
Regardless of the fact that those were the elites and peerless Overlords of the entire Little South Heavenly Realm, they were much weaker than an reincarnated Grand Cultivator after all. No Grand Cultivators could be offended; that applied also to those who had reincarnated.

We’re here mainly to figure out what exactly happened during the battle of Earth three years ago. How did Divine Lord Tatian die? What level is Chen Beixuan currently at? It’s important for the planning of the Grand Cultivators and the Ancestral Masters. We can’t let anything go wrong. We won’t even be able to make up for our sin if we provide incorrect information, causing the Ancestral Masters to make the wrong judgement and putting them in danger,
Dong Zihao said seriously.
The cold girl in a white dress lowered her head and replied seriously,
Yes!

Not only that pair of brother and sister, there were many other spies from the Divine Sects on Earth. The Changshen Sect, the Taichu Divine Realm, the Fey God Sect, the Devil God Sect… Each of them had sent out countless disciples to sneak into Earth and look for Chen Fan’s secrets.
In the past battle three years back—
How did Divine Lord Tatian die? Who was the Overlord that showed up in the end? Who covered the solar system with a Grand Divine Power and stopped the Grand Cultivators from prying? All of those were hidden deeply in the mist.
Although the two of them had been on Earth for several years and had looked through all the videos and information of that battle back then, they still weren’t sure about it.
There were in fact not many people who had actually witnessed this battle; only those Nascent Soul Overlords did. The normal people, Golden Core cultivators and Connate cultivators stayed on Earth or outside of the region, so they had been unable to see the truth of the last fight clearly.
Those Nascent Soul Cultivators were certainly quiet about it; they would not bring up the subject easily. They themselves didn’t want to believe the information that came from their mouths.
In fact—
After several years of comprehensive analysis of various information sources—
The Grand Cultivators of the sects were already certain that there had indeed been a supreme being on Earth back then. That supreme being had been the one who had killed Divine Lord Tatian and attacked them from ten thousand miles away, but they weren’t sure who exactly that supreme being was.
Some wondered if it was Chen Fan. After all, he was the reincarnation of a Grand Cultivator and he might have awakened the Divine Powers from his previous life, but the other Grand Cultivators immediately disagreed. No matter how powerful a reincarnated Grand Cultivator was, only less than one-tenth of the past life’s energy could be preserved after reincarnating. The one who had launched those attacks outside planet Earth was definitely a being above the Divine Lords; it might even be someone like an ancient Divine King or a Saint. If it really were Chen Fan, how powerful had he been in his previous life? Dao Reunion level or above?
The Ancestral Patriarch of the Demon Sun Sect said with a mocking tone,
If it was truly that kid, shouldn’t we kneel to welcome him and bow to ask for his forgiveness right away? If not, such a being can certainly smash us with one hand.

Many Grand Cultivators wondered if it was the Deities that trapped the fiend in the past or whether they had triggered the prohibition spells or traps left by the Deities on Earth. That guess sounded more reasonable. After all, a lot of Grand Cultivators had once probed and confirmed that there were many arrays around Earth and not even Grand Cultivators could enter.
But, a fact was unquestionable—
Those Supreme Overlords would never make a move on Earth easily before confirming Chen Fan’s level.

Even so, Chen Beixuan can’t hide for much longer. The Emperor of Apollo Palace got out a few days ago. He seemed to have gathered the Sect Masters to talk about the situation on Earth. Rumor has it that even a heavy hitter from a sacred ground deep in the Star Ocean came to the Little South Heavenly Realm, and he appears to be very interested in Earth. Looks like Chen Beixuan won’t be able to hide the truth for a long time.
Dong Zihao snickered.

Really?

The aloof girl was shocked; there was a look of disbelief in her beautiful eyes.

Right, Tatian was a Pseudo-Soul Formation Cultivator, but he had the level of a ‘Soul Formation Cultivator’ in this planet region after all. However, he died in the hands of a young man who’s not even fifty. Even some heavy hitters deep in space are curious about the news. That heavy hitter happened to pass by the Little South Heavenly Realm, so he decided to stay for a while. I guess the Grand Cultivators will soon do something on Earth,
Dong Zihao said smugly.
The aloof girl lowered her head.
The news about someone from a sacred ground had deepy startled her. Even though she had already entered the Nascent Soul level and was a senior member of Apollo Palace, her mind was unsettled after hearing about it. That was one of the superior sacred grounds. The Little South Heavenly Realm or Apollo Palace were just small ponds hidden in the edges of the universe when compared to it. How would there be any True Dragons?

Chen Beixuan will be in trouble if he doesn’t become a real Soul Formation cultivator,
Dong Zihao said.
But both of them knew—
Reaching the Soul Formation Level was even more difficult than going to Heaven.
Even if Chen Fan was invincible among his peers—having defeated Prince Qin Ye and being a reincarnated Grand Cultivator—he was too young after all. He wasn’t even fifty. In order to become a real Soul Formation Cultivator, he would need at least a couple of centuries. The Golden Bird Emperor and the others would never allow him to do so during this time. If Chen Fan really became a Soul Formation cultivator, he would be able to stand tall in the Abandoned Planet Region and be regarded as unbeatable. Even the Golden Bird Emperor would be unable to reach him. Only those ancient Saints from the sacred grounds could threaten Chen Fan by then.
In the meantime.
In an old temple deep in the deity ground on Earth, a giant fiend that was dozens of thousands of feet tall let out a fierce roar. It fell on the ground and turned into countless plumes of black smoke, billowing in all directions.
A young man in a black outfit was silently standing at the entrance of the temple with a sword. He was expressionless as he slowly looked up.


The ninety-eighth Origin Divine Palace!



Only one left.
