Chapter 1125: The Arrival of Cultivators from Other Planet Regions
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Chen Fan left Earth and entered the deity ground, the situation on the planet also started to drastically change. Although the North Qiong Sect hadn't officially opened its doors, the entire world had already placed all of their attention in Chu Zhou City of the Jiang Nan Province, especially on the small Yun Wu Mountain.
More and more of the remaining disciples of the North Qiong Sect gathered from all around the world...
Especially when the Realm of Kunxu was reopened and the Golden Core Cultivators of Kunxu and the members of the Chen family returned to the North Qiong Sect, the power of the North Qiong Sect was pushed to the top. They had more than a hundred Golden Core Cultivators! Not even the entire Earth had such large forces, let alone the fact that they also had the Sky Galaxy Array. The remaining members of the Dark Races had once tried to attack the North Qiong Sect when Chen Fan left, but they were immediately killed by a ray of blade aura.
Chen Fan had been away for two months.
The North Qiong Sect was opened during that period, with Chen Fan as the Sect Master; Lu Yanxue and A'Xiu were the administrators. The Golden Core Cultivators from the Realm of Kunxu became the outer sect elders of the North Qiong Sect. They opened their sect on Yun Wu Mountain to the public and started recruiting disciples from all over the world. Even though the sect wasn't officially formed, everyone could see their fierce tiger-like power. Many small sects, including the Seven Malice Sect and the King Kong Sect, even decided to join the North Qiong Sect.
"They're thriving. I'm afraid the North Qiong Sect has become the top sect in the world," Countless people exclaimed. Especially on the CIA underground forum, a lot of foreign cultivators, like those from Japan, Korea and Myanmar, were so jealous they were speechless. Not even Sacred Eye dared to say a word, since he was afraid that the elders of the North Qiong Sect would find and kill him. After the North Qiong Sect was established, their branches were built all around the five continents and the four oceans. Every region had their own division.
In Eastern Europe.
"Stop! What are you doing?" Dozens of disciples from the North Qiong Sect broke into the manor of a family that cultivated dark magic. The leader of that family, who was a Connate Cultivator in a black robe, was enraged.
Colin walked in and yelled, "Neil Houston, you followed the Kindred back then and killed a few thousand people just to get the dark cultivation arts from them. Half of the Kindred maids even came from the Houston family. We've already heard everything from the maids' mouths and we have irrefutable evidence. The Houston family has committed the most heinous crime. You betrayed mankind and must be exterminated!"
He was a handsome and tall fellow wearing a tight blue outfit. His power had apparently reached the peak Divine Sea Level; he was one of the most powerful cultivators among the remaining disciples of the North Qiong Sect.
"How dare you! The Houston family is a historical family that has existed for centuries. Where was the North Qiong Sect back then? Don't think you can be the adjudicator of Earth because Chen Beixuan has the upper hand right now," Neil Houston shouted. He used to be well-mannered, acting as politely as a noble, but his face was completely twisted right then. He waved his hand and the gilded black cane in his hand released a giant plume of black mist, turning into countless black bats. They flew towards the disciples of the North Qiong Sect as they squeaked. Each of them had the power of an Ethereal Enlightenment Beast.
"Whoever resists will die!"
Colin grunted.
Boom!
Then, a giant black hand smacked down from the sky, crushing countless bats to mist. Neil Houston was pressed down on the ground like a frog; he couldn't even move a finger.
"A... A Golden Core Cultivator?" Neil Houston's eyes popped out and his face turned pale.
"Thank you, elders." Colin went up quickly to restrain Neil Houston with an Anti-magic Ring, then bowed respectfully to a point in the air. A gentle "hm" sound was heard and a beam of black light immediately flashed away.
"Phew, they're gone." Colin took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Those were the outer sect elders from Kunxu. All of them were Golden Core Cultivators, much more powerful than the disciples of the North Qiong Sect, which scared Colin and others every time they worked with them. However, with Chen Fan there, those Golden Core Cultivators would not dare not to be presumptuous.
"Search the manor. Take all the members of the Houston family away. Don't miss any one of them." Colin issued that order with a hint of worry in his eyes. The North Qiong Sect was superior right then because of Chen Fan's name, but if he left them someday, what could they do?
But the people on Earth had no time to think about this.
Once the North Qiong Sect was opened, they immediately started expanding to the whole world. In just six months, the North Qiong Sect had already gained control of the cultivation worlds across almost half of the planet.
The North Qiong Sect had many cultivation arts Chen Fan had left behind and also arts passed down from the Realm of Kunxu to ancient Earth. Those were extremely attractive to all the other sects. At first, only the smaller sects gave in. In the end, even large sects like the Tai Chi Sect and the Ba Ji Sect also went over to the North Qiong Sect to take up the roles of outer sect elders.
The disciples of the North Qiong Sect were prominent figures in recent days. They were much more revered than those of the cultivation sacred grounds like the Taichu Temple and the Wuji Arena back then.
"Mom, I want to apply for the junior disciple admission exam for the North Qiong Sect." A little girl stared at the commercial of the North Qiong Sect on the television with her big eyes.
"That would be great! You'll be even more successful than the billionaires in the future if you can become a disciple," said her young mother as she smiled with her eyes.
Time flew.
Although Chen Fan wasn't there, the North Qiong Sect was constantly growing. A'Xiu and Lu Yanxue established the framework of the North Qiong Sect. There were member levels, including core elders, inner sect elders, outer sect elders, core disciples, inner sect disciples, outer sect disciples and apprentices. There were also Sect Masters, officers and guardians in different continents. The North Qiong Sect became stronger day by day. They stood on top of the Yun Wu Mountain like a huge monster and Chu Zhou City also became a cultivation sacred ground that caught the world's attention.
But one day—
A satellite captured the passing of a shooting star from the universe which landed on North America.
Then, rumors circulated, saying that it was a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord from Planet Tianlan. He traveled across the vast universe with an old bronze ship, and decided to take his disciples to Earth as part of their learning.
That Nascent Soul Cultivator called Anpo was quite friendly.
"Planet East used to be the most flourishing cultivation planet in the entire Abandoned Planet Region, second only to Planet Tianhuang. And now, it started thriving again. There are many Golden Core Cultivators and countless elites. That's why I brought my disciples here to have a glimpse of the power of their seniors and to learn."
The disciples of the North Qiong Sect became quite alert when Anpo was concerned.
Even though he didn't hail from a large sect in the Star Ocean, he was a cultivator from another planet after all, and nobody knew what he truly wanted from Earth. The Ancestral Patriarch of the Kindred and Heavenly Lord Fengxiang were also from other planets, but they threw their weight around on Earth. Some elders of the North Qiong Sect suggested killing Heavenly Lord Anpo with the Sky Galaxy Array.
And yet, all the other forces on Earth welcomed Heavenly Lord Anpo joyfully when they heard of his arrival.
They had been too miserable, feeling oppressed by the North Qiong Sect during the past six months. Even the five superpowers felt difficulty when breathing. The President of the United States had immediately gone to meet Heavenly Lord Anpo. Then, many consortiums, families and sects went to pay him a visit, one by one. A lot of the members from those consortiums had even become disciples of Heavenly Lord Anpo.
"This Heavenly Lord is only here with a peaceful agenda, to establish communication between Earth and Planet Tianlan. We can't just reject his kindness because of the Ancestral Patriarch of the Kindred. The planet accepted Heavenly Lord Chen, so why not Heavenly Lord Anpo?" someone said.
With the huge build-up by the foreign media—
Heavenly Lord Anpo seemed to have become a friendly alien overnight, one that went to Earth to help people. Anpo was also very kind; he didn't act superior like a Nascent Soul Cultivator would. He befriended the senior officials of North America and took in members of a lot of consortiums and families as his disciples. He even promoted that he was going to establish a sect on Earth, to teach people the cultivation arts of Planet Tianlan.
There were even rumors spreading around.
Heavenly Lord Anpo wasn't a normal early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, but a peak-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, a renowned master at the Grand Heavenly Lord level in the entire Abandoned Planet Region. All three of his best disciples were Nascent Soul Cultivators and the others were also peak-stage Golden Core Cultivators.
It all happened in a heartbeat.
The entire world was in an uproar.
Countless people traveled to North America and wanted to become disciples of Heavenly Lord Anpo. The country was soon flooded with people. Heavenly Lord Anpo seemed to have a halo on his head, seemingly surpassing Chen Fan. There was even a sect rising in North America, trying to compete with the North Qiong Sect.
A disciple of Heavenly Lord Anpo even said, "Chen Beixuan? Never heard of him. Even the Ancestral Patriarchs of the Kindred were at the bottom on their home planet. It's not a big deal to kill him, my three seniors can tear him apart. Besides, my Master is someone comparable to the top Ancestral Patriarch of the Kindred."
After hearing what he said, the world was stunned.
Heavenly Lord Anpo remained silent in regards to that topic, but his third disciple, Heavenly Lord Xing Hu said, "If Chen Beixuan is here, he should come and meet our Master. Master is a famous Heavenly Lord deep in the universe. He's cultivated for more than twenty thousand years. Chen Beixuan is only a Nascent Soul Cultivator. How can he be so rude?"
The second disciple, Heavenly Lord Xuanlong, also said, "That's right. Master is famous around the galaxy. Whenever he visits a planet, all their Nascent Soul Cultivators will come to welcome him. Being the only Nascent Soul Cultivator on Planet East, Chen Beixuan should have led his subordinates here to greet Master as a junior should."
Heavenly Lord Anpo was wearing a robe. He had white beard and white hair, with the extraordinary image of an immortal. He only caressed his beard and smiled without saying a word. However, his disciples were unhappy about Chen Fan and the North Qiong Sect.
Some foreign cultivators even said, "Heavenly Lord Anpo traveled a long way here. As the representative of Earth, Heavenly Lord Chen should come to welcome Heavenly Lord Anpo and his friends from Planet Tianlan. Otherwise, they will think that we're rude."
"That's right. Heavenly Lord Chen dominates the world and is the only Nascent Soul Cultivator. He's the only way out."
"North Qiong Sect, ask Heavenly Lord Chen to come out quickly!"
Many people discussed.
Even the netizens were excited.
Chen Fan had been missing for six months. Many of his foreign enemies had not dared to make a move at first. After all, although Chen Fan wasn't there, they wouldn't be able to deal with the hundred Golden Core Cultivators of Kunxu. Still, the arrival of Heavenly Lord Anpo and those from other planets had given them the best excuse.
In a blink.
The North Qiong Sect became the world's center of attention.
