Whoosh!
After resting on the ground for a long time, Chen Fan finally sat up slowly. He was a bit relieved to have found out something about Fang Qiong, but he was still worried. After all, his parents, Fei Fei, Sister An and his grandpa were still missing. Did Master Cangqin take them away or were they lost somewhere on Earth? Chen Fan had to search for the truth.
Unfortunately, he was greatly injured, so he couldn’t use the Grand Divine Power that involved karma anymore.
However, the Soul Tablet was still shining, meaning his loved ones were alright. Chen Fan was a bit relieved.
“I must heal quickly and start looking for them. If they aren’t on Earth, Master has probably taken them with him, too. However, it’s normal for him to take Xiao Qiong. She traveled with me across the universe in my previous life after all, but why did he also take Sister An, grandpa and my parents?” Chen Fan wondered.
He sat with his legs crossed and started checking his wounds.
At this moment, his golden body was full of tiny wounds. It was supposed to be a body that not even Heavenly Treasures could injure, but it was like a fragile porcelain right then. The Dharma Power and Essence Qi had almost been used up, as if only a shallow puddle remained of a pond. Besides, many Divine Chains appeared in the sky, piercing into his mind and locking up his Nine Orifices Divine Infant.
Chen Fan tried to use his Dharma Power and he felt that the power of laws in the world was putting pressure on him, suppressing his energy.
When he made an attack with his finger, the energy only traveled a few feet. He had Dharma Power of the peak-stage Golden Core Level, but he could only summon the strength of the Qi Refinement State.
“Hm, what a Karma Divine Power.”
Chen Fan sneered.
Karma was one of the most mysterious energies in the world. Even the indestructible golden body of the Buddha could be burned by such an energy.
“My body’s torn, my Golden Core shakes, I’m almost out of energy, my Divine Soul is being locked and there’s the power of laws around me. If normal Golden Core Cultivators or Nascent Soul Cultivators were here, all of their powers would have been taken away. They would need to pay a huge price to cultivate back to their original level again.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
This was the might of a Karma Divine Power.
And yet, Chen Fan wasn’t the least bit afraid. He had expected this to happen when he performed the forbidden Divine Power. Celestial Lords were the only ones that could get rid of karma.
In the meantime, although his clothes were covered in blood and his energy was dropping, his body was still straight and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
“I should take this opportunity to be completely reborn again.”
Chen Fan’s black hair fluttered in the wind, creating some whooshing sounds. He was in a black outfit and had black eyes, like a demon.
Chen Fan had reached the peak stage of the Golden Core Level and he couldn’t go further anymore.
He had completed the Deity Wheel, formed a unique deity-grade Golden Core and had nine different Divine Powers in him. His Dharma Power could compare to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator and might even be more powerful than that of an early-stage or mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
His Azure Thearch Longevity Body had reached the Great Perfection Level and was as powerful as a Nascent Soul Body. Besides, Chen Fan had practiced five Sky Art Paintings at the same time, which greatly strengthened his body. With five more layers of energy, his body was rare even among Nascent Soul Cultivators and could be regarded as immortal.
As for his Divine Soul, after three years of refinement, the Nine Orifices Divine Infant had almost merged with Chen Fan’s Immortal Will. His Immortal Will was extremely tough and could cover an area a few thousand miles wide at once. His Thousand Divine Weapon Art could even kill Nascent Soul Cultivators easily!
Chen Fan’s Dharma Power, body and Divine Soul had all reached the peak stage of the Golden Core Level. His foundation was extremely strong and he was even comparable to the top Sacred Princes in the Central Galaxy.
However, it was really difficult to combine those three energies.
If a Golden Core Cultivator wanted to enter the Nascent Soul Level, he had to merge his Divine Soul, Dharma Power and body into one, then turn into an infant that contained all his body’s energy. This infant could travel across the universe even without the body.
Until then.
An Immortal Cultivator could truly go beyond his body and be called a “Deity.” Being able to break through the limits of body and lifespan, he could at least live twenty thousand years or longer.
The Soul Formation and Void Returning Level were only bonuses to the Nascent Soul Level.
The Nascent Soul Level was truly the start of Immortal Cultivation. The Qi Refinement, Connate and Golden Core Level were just foundation states.
“My three kinds of energy have reached the highest level, but it’s too hard to merge them. I was planning to come back to Earth to fight with the Divine Princes from the Star Ocean or even Soul Formation Grand Cultivators, so I can try to do so. And yet, it’s too dangerous. Even if I have my trump cards, I’m still not sure if it would work or not.
“Even though I lost a lot of energy and my level dropped after using this Karma Divine Power, it’s actually a good thing for me. I can take the opportunity to combine my energy and build the strongest foundation for the Nascent Soul Level,” Chen Fan thought.
He started cultivating with his injured body.
Even with the power of laws suppressing his energy, the cultivation arts he practiced were too terrifying. Each of them was among the most powerful in the universe. As he breathed, the Essence Qi in the world was gathered towards Chen Fan. Earth had abundant Spirit Qi right then, so it was a great place for him to cultivate.
“Whoosh!”
The cracks on Chen Fan’s body quickly healed at a visible speed and his power was also restored slowly and stably.
Foundation Establishment, Ethereal Enlightenment, Divine Sea…
In just an hour, Chen Fan had reached the peak stage of the Divine Sea Level. In the end, he opened his mouth and shouted.
“Open!”
Boom!
The entire world shook slightly. There seemed to be an earthquake in a hundred mile radius surrounding Yunwu Mountain. Nine holes even appeared on Chen Fan’s head.
The nine holes were connected to nine different worlds. Different kinds of energy were oozing out of them as if they were craters of volcanoes.
Black Water, Yi Wood, Lightning… The energy poured onto Chen Fan’s body like waterfalls.
The Nine Transformation Deity Wheel spinned in his mind, absorbing the powerful energy from the nine worlds. The cracks that covered it were then gradually repaired.
Chen Fan’s energy broke through to the Connate Level and continued surging towards the Golden Core Level.
Meanwhile.
If Chen Fan hadn’t suppressed his power—
The weather in a few hundred miles would have changed. People would think a Golden Core Cultivator was going through a Tribulation. However, Chen Fan contained everything within three feet away from himself.
