Chen Fan traveled to Planet Tianhuang through the Path of Heaven, but he could spare the trouble when he returned. He was still a Golden Core Cultivator back then. Although he could survive in space, it would take a century for him to fly from one planet to the other.
When his power reached the Nascent Soul Level, he was already able to travel a short distance across the universe.
Even though he could only go to the planets within a planet region, it was a pretty impressive feat. In the Star Ocean, only Nascent Soul Cultivators were allowed to leave their planets. Many of them traveled across regions and encountered countless dangers along the journey. Some even died in the hands of beasts, black holes or radiations, but those who survived would surpass ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators.
âSwish.â
Chen Fan turned into a golden light ray and broke through twenty-seven layers of the Four True Righteousness Wind, entering space. He looked back at Planet Tianhuang and saw how vast it was.
Heavenly Regions covered the planet and each of them was a hundred times larger than Earth. The closer to Mount Emperor, the denser the Spirit Qi.
Some powerful energy enveloped the entire planet and the Spirit Veins were all over the planet, just like human veins. Chen Fan could see that they eventually met in the Ancient Demons Loch.
âThatâs where the Deity ground is.â
Chen Fan looked serious.
He knew 90% of the Spirit Qi on Planet Tianhuang had been taken by the True Martial Sky-severing Array, forming a giant lake full of World Thousand Spirit Water. Even after Chen Fan took ten bottles of the Spirit Water, he was still unable to see the bottom of the lake.
âThe laws and cultivation on this planet are incomplete, as expected.â
Chen Fan opened his Dharma Eyes and the Nine Orifices Divine Infant appeared.
There were some invisible Divine Chains of different colors twining around Planet Tianhuang, but part of them seemed to have been cut off. Each chain was billions of miles long and there were no ends.
Chen Fan knew.
It was the True Martial Sky-severing Array!
Only an invincible Deity Array like this one could be used to steal the laws of a planet.
âForming the True Martial Sky-severing Array on a planet is nothing for the True Martial Celestial Sect, but the entire Abandoned Planet Region? Hundreds of planets here had one True Martial Sky-severing Array. Who would do that? Why did the sect spend so much energy here? Arenât they afraid of being swallowed by the Laws of Heaven?â
Chen Fan looked serious.
He pondered for a while and decided not to go via the Path of Heaven. Instead, he turned into a ray of golden light and flew towards the planet with life closest to Planet Tianhuang.
In the universe, a planet might seem close.
But in fact, it could be billions of kilometers away. Even a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord needed eight to dozens of years to travel from one planet to the other.
Chen Fan was definitely faster than that.
âSwish!â
He turned into a Kun Peng dozens of feet large, enveloped in a black aura. He traversed ten thousand miles every time he flapped his wings. The universe was the hunting ground for a Kun Peng and its speed was among the top five across worlds.
âWhoosh, whoosh!â
Chen Fan kept flying across the universe.
Even though there was no Spirit Qi at all, the Kun Peng absorbed energy from the planets, the sun and the stars using the âGreat Chaos Art.â The cold power entered his body and was then refined by the Deity Wheel, transforming into Spirit Qi, like a non-stop engine that supplied energy to Chen Fan.
About ten days later.
âBoom!â
A dimensional energy wave appeared outside of a shiny planet and a Kun Peng with wings jumped out. It lowered its head and looked at the planet. The planet was only one-tenth the size of Planet Tianhuang, but it was still a hundred times larger than Earth. Some powerful energy howled on the planet, just as dragons would. Looking closely, 70% of the land was covered with trees. It was definitely a paradise for Wood Elemental Cultivators.
âThis is Heavenly Jupiter?â
The Kun Peng seemed a bit confused.
âMaster, thatâs my homeland, Heavenly Jupiter. I lived here for forty thousand years, before being caught and taken to Mount Emperor.â A rough voice sounded behind the Kun Peng.
The Kun Peng swayed its body and turned into Chen Fan.
Chen Fan grabbed a tall man out of the shadow behind him. The man was muscular and strong. His eyes were full of green glitters, like a monster.
âMu Xiao, tell me about Heavenly Jupiter,â Chen Fan said.
This man was one of the six monsters he had found in Mount Emperorâs prison. They were all above the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Level and were extremely fierce. Not even the people of Mount Emperor knew how to deal with them and could only lock them up in the âPrison World.â Chen Fan was worried that nobody could suppress them when he left, so he created a âSix Sacred Fiend Worldâ with the âSix Sacred Ancestor Fiend Artâ to imprison those monsters and bring them along.
âMaster, Heavenly Jupiter is the planet closest to Planet Tianhuang. There are three sects with Nascent Soul Cultivators on it. They have ruled the planet for almost a few hundred thousand years. They are the âThunder Pole Instituteâ, the âSpirit Husbandry Sectâ and the âAncient Monster Sacred Sect,'â Mu Xiao said.
It seemed to be simple-minded.
But it was actually a monster transformed from a Spirit Tree that had lived dozens of thousands of years. Its body was extremely hard and strong. Not even Heavenly Treasures were able to harm it. Its Dharma Power was even ten times more powerful than that of cultivators of the same level. Although it was only at the mid-stage Nascent Soul Level, it could run wild around the universe. Some said it had exterminated a few sects and it liked to eat people. In the end, the Divine Master of Mount Emperor took it down himself.
âThe Thunder Pole Institute is known for their Thunder Arts. This sect is the enemy of Wood Elemental Monsters. We fight whenever we encounter one another.
âThe Spirit Husbandry Sect practices Wood Elemental Arts and controls spirits. Their cultivators like to use Wood Spirits to kill and theyâre a large human sect. The last one is the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect formed by the Monsters on Heavenly Jupiter. Apart from me, there are five other Monsters that are basically Wood Elemental Monsters,â Mu Xiao explained. When it talked about the Thunder Pole Institute, a glint of hatred flashed through its eyes.
Wood Elemental Monsters like it were afraid of Fire Elemental and Thunder Elemental Cultivators the most. Even if those cultivators were weaker than them, they might still suffer. So, Chen Fan had burned Mu Xiao with the Red Sparrow Divine Flame to make it kneel and beg.
âIs there a forbidden land with some kind of opportunities or treasures?â Chen Fan asked.
Mu Xiao pondered for a while, then hit its head.
âThereâs indeed a âSpirit Well.â Itâs the sacred ground of the Monsters and is located at the heart of the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect. Itâs difficult for Wood Elemental Monsters to cultivate. I heard that there werenât so many Nascent Soul Monsters on Heavenly Jupiter, but after the Spirit Well appeared, there were suddenly a lot.â
âThatâs it. Letâs go.â
It had to be something special if it was able to nurture so many Nascent Soul Monsters. Chen Fan put Mu Xiao into the dark shadow behind him, then turned into a ray of golden light and flashed down onto the planet.
âSwish!â
Chen Fan was extremely fast. He passed through the layer of Four True Righteousness Wind with a few dimensional jumps. Once he entered Heavenly Jupiter, he felt the powerful Wood Element Spirit Qi inside. There was a sea of trees within ten thousand miles. All of them were giant, old towering trees that were thousands of years old.
They were extremely old and hard. Not even the Spirit Artifacts of Connate Cultivators were able to chop them down.
Chen Fan paused for a second, then followed the direction given by Mu Xiao and rushed to the headquarters of the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect. He only wanted to see if Heavenly Jupiter had the same situation as Planet Tianhuang and if there was any opportunity, so he didnât want anyone to know. He started to slow down.
As Chen Fan got closer to the âSpirit Well.â
He turned into an azure robed young man with fair skin. He was holding a wood elemental flying sword, giving the appearance of a mere Connate Cultivator.
According to Mu Xiaoâ
Even though the Spirit Well was a sacred ground of the Monsters, the other two sects didnât want the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect to dominate the planet alone. After a few battles, the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect gave in and decided to share the planet with the other sects. Humans could also go there and look for opportunities.
As Chen Fan got closer to the Spirit Well, beams of light sped above his head. Those were human cultivators controlling Wood Elemental Spirit Treasures or lightning, or Wood Elemental Monsters that flew across with a green breeze.
Those cultivators had at least the Golden Core Level.
And their Golden Cores were all above the fifth or the seventh grade, which surprised Chen Fan a bit. Were the Golden Core Cultivators on Heavenly Jupiter more powerful than those on Planet Tianhuang?
There were some Connate Cultivators with a Wood Elemental Spirit Sword like Chen Fan. They usually flew low, right above the trees, so they wouldnât be knocked over by the Golden Core Perfected Cultivators.
âIâm almost there.â Chen Fan calculated.
When he was a few hundred miles away from the âSpirit Wellââ
Chen Fan suddenly saw a wave of Dharma Power nearby. Someone was fighting. Looking closely, a man and a woman were being attacked by a group of Tree Monsters. The man was only halfway to the Golden Core Level and he apparently couldnât withstand that many Connate Tree Monsters.
Those two cultivators couldnât resist anymore and they suddenly saw Chen Fan. The man instantly yelled with a hint of joy in his eyes.
âMy friend, please help us!â
As he spoke.
The Wood Elemental Tree Monsters immediately turned around. They saw Chen Fan and their eyes were full of viciousness.
