Chapter 990: True Martial… Chen Beixuan?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Chen Fan was about thirty years old in his previous life, Master Cangqin of the True Martial Celestial Sect had taken him and Fang Qiong away from Earth. After that, he became the youngest Celestial Lord and was known as someone who had the greatest hope of becoming a Sage.

Chen Fan even had greater achievements than Master Cangqin back then.

He had never thought Master Cangqin would lie to him, as it wasn’t necessary. He was only a nameless cultivator and there weren’t even many cultivators on Earth.

But when he saw the True Martial Sky-severing Array on Planet Tianhuang, he was skeptical about that.

That was the “True Martial Sky-severing Array!”

Only Grand Cultivators of the True Martial Celestial Sect like Chen Fan knew the power of this array and how difficult it was to form it. As one of the rarest arrays in the universe, even Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals would find it hard to form it. Even though taking the Laws of Heaven could help in growing a “Dao Fruit,” it wasn’t beneficial to the Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals.

“Who formed this? Would it really be Master?”

Chen Fan frowned.

Although the Dao Fruit was precious, it was only useful for Soul Formation and Void Returning Cultivators. It didn’t have much effect on Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals. So, the Dao Reunion Cultivators of the True Martial Celestial Sect wouldn’t have done this.

“Besides, why on Planet Tianhuang? This is a barren planet in a remote area of the universe and it’s so similar to Earth. So, did they cause the strange things that happened on Earth as well?”

Chen Fan became more serious.

In fact, he didn’t really care about the strange things that happened on Planet Tianhuang or Earth.

When he returned to Earth after a century, people there were still surviving. As for Planet Tianhuang, the Laws of Heaven were being intercepted, so the local cultivators couldn’t reach the Soul Formation Level easily. And yet, this was a matter for people on Planet Tianhuang to solve. What did this have to do with him?

But this array formed by the True Martial Celestial Sect made Chen Fan wonder if Master Cangqin had taken him away from Earth on purpose.

Or maybe everything that happened in his past life or even after his rebirth had been planned by Master Cangqin.

“Impossible!”

Thinking of this, Chen Fan shook his head.

He could rewind the time in a space dozens of meters wide and Master Cangqin could barely rewind the time of a continent. However, rewinding five centuries of time in the entire universe, including thousands of worlds and dimensions—

That was something incredible.

Even Deities in Heaven or the ancient Fiend Gods weren’t this powerful, let alone Master Cangqin.

And Dao Ancestor Daluo, who created worlds, probably couldn’t do this either.

Chen Fan had been reborn five centuries in the past, and the entire universe, including the time in the Realm of Deities, had also been rewinded five centuries. Chen Fan couldn’t imagine doing so even when he was at his peak.

“If me being reborn isn’t my Master’s plan, why did he form this Sky-severing Array? Why was everything the same when I returned to Earth a century later? And why did he take me and Xiao Qiong away?”

There seemed to be layers of mist in front of Chen Fan.

He couldn’t see the truth behind the mist. Many things that Master Cangqin did didn’t seem as casual as Chen Fan thought anymore, but actually done for a purpose.

“Whatever. I’ve already become an outsider after being reborn. I’ll kill whoever uses me as a pawn again, even if it comes to Immortal Sages!”

Chen Fan clenched his fists and his eyes glittered.

Then.

The Dao Fruit started spinning in the sky.

“Boom!”

It was like a fruit that was about to ripen, letting out noises that resounded across the sky. Even the sisters of the Xu family knew they could become Grand Cultivators one day after eating this fruit!

“Buzz, buzz.”

Many beasts by the lake that were covered with golden glitters stared at the Dao Fruit in the sky greedily.

“I don’t care if the True Martial Celestial Sect did this, the ‘Dao Fruit’ is real. Even if I can’t become a perfect Soul Formation Cultivator, I can be a fake Grand Cultivator and rule a planet region.”

Lord Dragon said with a shaking voice. He looked at the sky and couldn’t suppress his greed anymore.

“This belongs to Master. Even if you take it, you won’t be able to use it,” Zhao Juexian said.

He thought that Lord Dragon still hadn’t figured out the situation. Chen Fan was the only one who truly had power at the moment. Even if Lord Dragon snatched the Dao Fruit, he would have to give it to Chen Fan in the end.

“Haha.”

Lord Dragon chuckled and didn’t say anything.

But he was thinking how he could get through everyone and take the Dao Fruit. Once he became a Grand Cultivator, he would no longer be afraid of Chen Fan.

“Boom!”

Suddenly.

A beast turned into a beam of light and flashed towards the Dao Fruit.

Looking closely, that beast was a snake with wings and was eighty feet long. It was enveloped in Cloud Qi, which looked similar to the legendary “Teng Snake.”

Once the Teng Snake moved—

The other beasts couldn’t control themselves either.

Swish, swish, swish!

Eight other beasts also turned into rays of light to take the Dao Fruit.

Chen Fan remained still.

Not only him, a lot of old beasts also froze like statues. No matter how much they wanted the Dao Fruit, they didn’t dare to get closer to the lake.

“Heavenly Lord, aren’t you going to take it?”

Lord Dragon almost went for it as well, but he stopped when he saw Chen Fan looking at him.

“This belongs to the True Martial Celestial Sect. Cultivators who aren’t disciples of the sect can never touch it.” Chen Fan shook his head. “Of course, if you want to get it, I won’t stop you.”

“Really?”

Lord Dragon doubted.

He thought that Chen Fan would kill him once he flew in the air.

Then.

When the eight beasts got closer to the Dao Fruit, there weren’t any barriers or traps anymore. In the end, Luo Changshen was finally unable to help it.

“Boom!”

A beam of light shot out of Luo Changshen.

He then turned into a light ray and flashed past the eight powerful beasts, arriving next to the Dao Fruit.

“This guy still has the secret treasure his Ancestral Patriarch gave him and he doesn’t need his Dharma Power to initiate it?”

The others were stunned when they saw this. Hadn’t Luo Changshen become a mortal? Why did he have powers again? Only Lord Dragon hit his own chest and screamed.

“Haha, Chen Beixuan, I’ve been waiting for this moment. I’ll settle the scores with you when I become a Grand Cultivator!”

Luo Changshen burst into laughter.

There was a Divine Talisman in his body with the power of a Soul Formation Cultivator of his sect. This Divine Talisman didn’t require any Dharma Power and it had been given to him by his Sect Master, so it was extremely precious.

Even at the most critical moment, Luo Changshen had refrained from using it.

And then, he used it for the Dao Fruit.

“Really?” Chen Fan said calmly as if he didn’t care at all.

“Brother.”

Even Xiao Mang was anxious.

If Luo Changshen really became a Grand Cultivator, they would be the ones who would suffer.

Out of everyone’s expectation, A bolt of azure lightning struck when Luo Changshen touched the Dao Fruit.

“Boom!”

The azure lightning looked indifferent, but it was extremely powerful. The Nascent Soul Beasts, including the Teng Snake, were immediately burnt to ashes.

Although Luo Changshen had the protection of the Divine Talisman…

He couldn’t withstand the lightning strike. The Divine Talisman instantly exploded and he collapsed on the ground, spurting out blood. His ribs were fractured and his clothes were torn.

“Why… Why?”

Even though Luo Changshen was dying, he still widened his eyes and was still unable to accept it.

“Not everyone can touch the arrays of the True Martial Celestial Sect.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

Although the Dao Fruit didn’t seem to be under any protection—

It was actually surrounded by layers of arrays. Those arrays were dangerous, deemed among the top arrays in the universe. Not even a Saint may be able to take the Dao Fruit.

“Boom!”

Countless array layers appeared and spinned in the sky like a golden ball, enveloping the Dao Fruit. The Sky-severing Array finally showed its original form and let out its power after being touched.

Then, an old man’s voice sounded in everyone’s minds.

“Only disciples of the True Martial Celestial Sect can get the Dao Fruit.”

That voice seemed to be from someone who had lived in the ancient times.

An old cultivator then showed up in front of everyone.

They couldn’t imagine how powerful he was. He was surrounded by planets as he sat on the galaxy. The sun and the moon moved around him and his eyes were even larger than the sun. He looked expressionless.

“Boom.”

Lord Dragon was pushed down to the ground and his true form was exposed. He said as he trembled, “Greetings… Perfected Immortal. We… We weren’t trying to disturb you. Please… Please forgive us. Please forgive us!”

He knelt and bowed.

“Argh!”

Xiao Mang, Goddess Qing Luo and many beasts had already fallen on the ground and started trembling. The voice was too terrifying. That was only a projection from the ancient times, but it made people feel out of breath. Even the deity ground started letting out some screeches, seemingly overwhelmed.

“What a shame! The fruit is right before me.”

Luo Changshen knelt on the ground with blood coming out of his eyes. He had waited half a day for that.

“Why am I not a disciple of the True Martial Celestial Sect. Why only for the disciples of the True Martial Celestial Sect? I hate this!”

Luo Changshen had never hated his background so much like he did then. Why did it have to be the Changshen Sect only?

“Hm, what is he doing?”

Luo Changshen was shocked.

He saw Chen Fan walking towards the lake without being frightened by the old man’s voice. “Does he want to die? That’s the array of a Perfected Immortal! Even our Sect Master would have been killed if he forced his way in.”

Luo Changshen snickered.

But what happened next was completely beyond his imagination.

The golden aura around Chen Fan became brighter as he walked.

In the end.

Chen Fan turned into a golden sun.

The golden aura carried a fearless and indestructible energy, which was a bit like that coming from the old cultivator.

No!

Their energies were basically the same, just different in intensity.

Was that possible?

Luo Changshen’s eyes popped out.

Not only him.

Lord Dragon, Goddess Qing Luo, Zhao Juexian, the sisters of the Xu family and many beasts at the lake had their eyes open as wide as possible. An unbelievable idea appeared in their minds.

“He…”

“Clomp, clomp.”

Chen Fan walked up to the sky in a golden aura like God.

The arrays that protected the Dao Fruit were split and a golden path appeared. He walked to the Dao Fruit along the path and picked it safely.

At this moment.

Everyone was dumbfounded; even Xiao Mang was unable to believe it.

“He’s… from… the True Martial Celestial Sect?”
