Chapter 1148  : Getting Out

The Earth.

It was already 2028 and it had been almost six months since the arrival of the Wuji Sect’s third Divine Prince, Yi Qian. The Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony was about to begin. At this moment, humans on Earth had finally realized how crowded the universe they lived in was.

Planet Tianlan, Planet Zheyuan, Heavenly Jupiter, Planet Yangu, Planet Dark Mist...

Other than the home planets of the alien races, cultivators of dozens of other cultivation planets in the Abandoned Planet Region arrived. Each planet was represented by at least one Nascent Soul Cultivator together with his Golden Core disciples. The entire Chu Zhou City had already been filled with people. A’Xiu and Lu Yanxue immediately arranged those cultivators from other planets to stay in Tian He City and Qin Shui City.

Even so, the city was still flooded with people.

That was the first Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony of the Abandoned Planet Region in the last hundred thousand years. Cultivators of all the planets were very curious about it. All of them moved quickly once the Path of Heaven was opened.

When the people in Chu Zhou City walked on the streets, they would sometimes see beautiful three-foot women wearing red feathers while riding giant firebirds; those were cultivators from Planet Huosang. There were also aliens with dark skin, green eyes and a hoarse voice—they weren’t humans, but cultivators of the Sylvan Race from Heavenly Jupiter. There were also Mermen Overlords who had dark blue skin and were enveloped in a large water bubble.

And there were the members of the Gold Clan, the Dark Wolves and the Kindred, plus the cultivators of Heavenly Jupiter, Planet Zheyuan and Planet Tianlan.

After the Ancestral Patriarch of the Zhang family and the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Kindred had died, Chen Fan didn’t go after the rest of them to kill them all. He still allowed them to attend the ceremony on Earth, but they had to obey the rules of the North Qiong Sect. Whoever dared to bully humans would be killed! In fact, those Dark Races had no intention of resisting anymore. Chen Fan had become superior. Even his clone was strong enough to kill Divine Prince Yi Qian. How could they resist?

Right then, all the alien races on Earth were trembling under Chen Fan’s power. As time passed, the Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony inched closer and Earth also turned into a sea of joy.

In Chu Zhou City.

A villa outside the suburbs.

After bidding farewell to a few friends, Jiang Feifei went to that villa. She was very stubborn. She didn’t want to live on Yun Wu Mountain anymore when she learned Chen Fan’s identity; she was unwilling to accept the kindness the North Qiong Sect was offering. In the end, Auntie Tang could only find her a villa by the Yan Gui Lake.

It was a remote area off the beaten track; the house had its own entrance and courtyard.

Jiang Feifei walked to the entrance and took a deep breath with a serious look. She pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man in a black shirt standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He didn’t turn around after hearing the sound of the door.

He said, “You’re back. Have you said goodbye to your friends?”

“I’ve already followed your orders and said goodbye to them one by one. I told them I’m going traveling for three years.” Jiang Feifei bowed respectfully with a hint of hesitation in her beautiful eyes. “Master, shouldn’t I tell my auntie? She treated me the best. Even though we’ve had some misunderstandings before, she still tries to convince me to cultivate in the North Qiong Sect, over and over. I really don’t want to watch her die.”

“Your auntie is too deeply involved in the matters of the North Qiong Sect. She’s not going to survive this. She would die anyway, even if we told her beforehand.” The man in black shirt shook his head.

Jiang Feifei knew her mysterious Master had powerful Divine Powers and unpredictable tactics.

She had risen from the early-stage Ethereal Enlightenment level to the peak-stage Connate level in just a year, ever since she became a disciple. It was indeed impressive. Besides, her Master has been living in Chu Zhou City for more than six months, but Chen Fan’s clone on Yun Wu Mountain had never discovered the man in black shirt while being so close to him.

This meant that her Master’s Divine Powers were at least as powerful as Chen Fan’s.

Jiang Feifei hesitated and finally mustered the courage to say, “Although I don’t like Chen Beixuan, I know that he’s extremely powerful. Even the Wuji Sect’s third Divine Prince was no match for him! He may be able to survive if we tell him in advance so he can prepare for it.”

The middle-aged man in black shirt immediately grunted with a cold look.

“Hm!”

The villa’s courtyard immediately turned from a warm, sunny springtime world to a sub-zero place. Even the Essence Qi in the air froze and a ten-foot Spirit Tree in the middle of the courtyard had instantly withered, turning into black branches. Jiang Feifei was frightened by the terrifying energy and she even knelt on the ground as she trembled.

What was more surprising was that the area around the courtyard still had nice weather. People walked past and seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening inside. Chen Fan—who was at the top of the Yun Wu Mountain cultivating with his eyes closed—also had no idea about that scene down the mountain.

“Mas... Master, please don’t be mad.”

That was the first time for Jiang Feifei to truly see the power of the man in a black shirt. She felt as if he were a fiend that stood tall in the world. His eyes were full of dignity; he could easily crush her with a breath, without even using his pinky finger. A peak-stage Connate Cultivator wasn’t even an ant in front of that man.

“Who exactly is my Master? I feel like he’s even more powerful than Chen Beixuan!” Jiang Feifei was surprised.

“Get up.”

The man in black shirt repressed his anger.

When Jiang Feifei got up with her shaking body, he said with hands behind his back, “You’re just an ordinary girl on this planet. You have no idea how terrifying those imperishable sects in the Star Ocean are. Yi Qian? Haha. Although he’s a Divine Prince, he isn’t even one of the top ten, or twenty, or thirty in the Wuji Sect.”

“Huh?” Jiang Feifei was startled.

The man in black shook his head and snickered. “How terrifying is an imperishable sect that stands on top of the universe and rules a planet region? They have a Divine Prince generation every few thousand years. The Wuji Sect has five generations of Divine Princes alive and Yi Qian is only one of them, not to mention those old monsters who haven’t formed a divine-grade Golden Core, but are peerless talents that have been cultivating for an extremely long time and can even touch the Soul Formation Level. Rumor has it that there’s a Grand Elder on the Wuji Sect’s home planet who has been alive for fifty thousand years. He’s only half a step away from becoming a Soul Formation Cultivator. He’ll rise to the top of the Soul Formation level once he steps the other foot in.”

“Each imperishable sect deep in the Star Ocean has at least ten thousand Nascent Soul and Golden Core Cultivators. Earth is just a normal planet. No matter how powerful Chen Beixuan is, can he deal with so many opponents alone?”

Then, the man turned around. “If I tell you that more than a hundred thousand Golden Core Cultivators, a few hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators and more than dozens of Grand Elders and Divine Princes of each sect are gathering outside the solar system, waiting to crush Earth to pieces once the Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony starts... would you still be confident that Chen Beixuan can stop them?”

“Well?” Jiang Feifei was speechless.

Even though she hated Chen Fan, she still hoped that he could get through this from the bottom of her heart. After all, if Chen Fan lost, the entire Jiang family, Auntie Tang and Jiang Churan would be unable to escape.

However, Jiang Feifei realized that if the man in black shirt was right, even if all the cultivators on Earth joined forces, they would be unable to resist an attack from that powerful army, not to mention Chen Fan alone.

“Master, can’t you help Earth a bit?” Jiang Feifei tried to convince her Master.

She didn’t know the detailed background of her Master, but she knew that his name was Song Yufeng. He was born on a normal planet in the Nanli Planet Region and his family had died in the war when the Changshen Sect conquested Nanli. Then, Song Yufeng broke into the Changshen Sect with a sword to single handedly take revenge for his family, defeating the Lords of the thirteen mountains of the Changshen Sect. In the end, a Divine Lord of the Changshen Sect stepped forward to fight with him and injured him severely. He was known as the “Lone Ranger” deep in the Star Ocean.

Even though Song Yufeng had been injured, he had survived a battle against a Divine Lord. That was already enough to make him famous in the Star Ocean; he was then listed as one of the most powerful cultivators below the Soul Formation level.

“It’s not that I don’t want to, but there’s nothing I can do,” Song Yufeng looked up and said indifferently, “Although Chen Beixuan is quite talented, he’s too arrogant. It isn’t a big deal that he managed to kill the elders and disciples of the Qiyun Sect, the Wine God Sect and the Jinding Sect, but he shouldn’t have offended the imperishable sects. He even killed nine Divine Princes at once, provoking almost half of the imperishable sects in the entire Little South Heavenly Realm.

“How could he kill the Divine Princes? Those are the cultivators that may become Divine Lords of a sect and are part of their valuable assets. If he kills the Divine Princes, he has to pay the price of being attacked by the large sects.

“Fortunately, the arrays of the Abandoned Planet Region stop the Divine Lords from entering. Otherwise, the Soul Formation Grand Cultivators would have already destroyed half the planet with a slap, including crushing him and the North Qiong Sect to pieces.”

“Besides, this is Planet East, the place where the Deities trapped a fiend and where the Grand Opportunity is located. Chen Beixuan wants to have the earth-shattering opportunity to himself, but the entire Star Ocean won’t let him.” Song Yufeng thought in his mind.

He certainly wouldn’t say that to Jiang Feifei. He only waved his hand.

“Be prepared. We’ll be leaving Earth seven days later, when the Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony starts.”

“Yes!”

Jiang Feifei could only lower her head and bow in the end.

She knew she would be a totally different person after leaving this time. She would become the disciple of Song Yufeng, a famous Overlord in the Star Ocean. Chen Fan and the entire North Qiong Sect would die and the billions of people on Earth would probably not be able to smile again.

Jiang Feifei was unable to bear seeing that. She had been born a kind person, but how could a woman like her stop the army from the Star Ocean with her power?

“Chen Fan, I wish you were more humble and meek. The power of the large sects in the Star Ocean isn’t something the Earth can resist!” Jiang Feifei sighed in her mind.

Right then.

Not only Jiang Feifei, many others on Earth would also be taken to the Star Ocean.

Those rogue cultivators from the Star Ocean didn’t know Earth was a Deity Nurturing Ground, but they knew that the talent shown by the earthlings was astonishing, given the fact that they were able to cultivate at such a high speed. So, they arrived earlier to take some children away, before the large sects arrived. Once the imperishable sects got there, they wouldn’t have the chance to interfere and get anything from Earth anymore.

One day, two days, three days...

The seventh day.

When the sun rose in the east, the first beam of sunlight shone on the North Qiong Pavilion’s roof and the Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony officially started. Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes in the Origin Divine Palace. It was time for him to get out!
