However, there and then, all of them had focused their attention on the couple in front of them.
Even Lin Xiaoâthe heir of Reincarnation Sectâs Grand Elder and one of the most influential figures in the worldâwas looking at them attentively.
âWhat the heck.â
âWhat have I just seen?â
âDid the True Dragon Goddess throw herself into the arms of a nobody?â
âWhy?â many people screamed in their minds.
Although Xiao Mang had only arrived at the Reincarnation Sect three years back, she had impressed everyone with her incredible talent. She was only at the early-stage of Ethereal Enlightenment when she first arrived, but then reached the late-stage Ethereal Enlightenment in less than a month.
It took her less than three months to reach the Divine Sea and less than three years to reach the Connate Spirit Level.
Those were unthinkable feats that not even top Longevity Roll elites could pull off. Most Longevity Roll elites were in their thirties when they reached the Connate Level. However, Xiao Mang was only sixteen, twice as young as Li Huaixian and Jun Aochen when they were at the same stage. She also became the youngest Connate Cultivator in the Reincarnation Sect, establishing a record which had not been attained in a hundred thousand years.
When Xiao Mang reached the Connate Spirit realm, a dragon apparition was manifested in the sky, guarding her closely.
Rumor had it that the phenomenon had even startled the Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarch. He tested Xiao Mangâs power and reckoned that she had a rare bloodline that was unknown to him.
He was convinced that Xiao Mang was the only person on Planet Tianhuang who has this bloodline.
Her bloodline was more mysterious than Shenxiâs Reincarnation Bloodline, and was much more powerful than that of any Heavenly Sect.
From then on, Xiao Mang had become the apple of the elderâs eye. Countless elders fought with each other to become her master.
The other disciples were stunned.
They watched as the previously imperious and overbearing elders argued with each other for a little girl, calling each other names. Some even resorted to violence, leveling a few mountains near the sect.
In the endâ
The Ancestral Patriarch had to appoint Yuelon, Violet Moon Peakâs Elder, to be Xiao Mangâs master in order to put a stop to it.
From then on, Xiao Mang had become a household name in all the Heavenly Regions.
Later, she was granted the âTrue Dragon Goddessâ title and was considered Shenxiâs successor. Shenxi and Xiao Mangâs fame also garnered much respect for the Reincarnation Sect in front of other Heavenly Sects.
She was deemed as a Longevity Roll elite to be.
However, why was she hugging an ordinary young man?
âItâs been just a few years, you have become so pretty.â
Chen Fan ignored the glares around him and ran his fingers through her hair. The little girl had grown up to be a drop dead gorgeous woman.
Xiao Mangâs appearance had changed a great deal ever since she awakened her True Dragon Bloodline. Her hair turned blond and her eyes gained a golden luster. From time to time, Chen Fan noticed a flickering majesty, befitting of a true dragon.
However, she acted like a little kitten while she was in Chen Fanâs arms. Even the golden dragon that flew around Xiao Man seemed content and happy.
Xiao Fan looked up at Chen Fan and said, âBrother, I missed you so much.â
âMe too.â
Chen Fan smiled back.
Their last farewell was rushed during a time of life and death.
A hundred thousand Demon Armies were hot on their heels. Chen Fan opened up a dimension portal and helped Shenxi leave with Xiao Mang before the Ancient Demon Prince caught up to them.
If the Ancient Demon Prince challenged Chen Fan right at the moment, he would be able to kill him with a slap.
âBrother, donât leave me ever again,â Xiao Mang buried her head in Chen Fanâs chest and murmured.
âAll right.â
Chen Fan nodded.
Chen Fan had gone to the Reincarnation Sect to do two things: to thank Shenxi for taking care of Xiao Mang and take her back to her own people. Xiao Mang was a Goddess of the Chinese people, so Chen Fan couldnât let her stay in the Reincarnation Sect for too long.
Plus, Chen Fan wasnât very impressed by her teacher at the Reincarnation Sect. She was not even a Nascent Soul Cultivator, what could she teach Chen Beixuanâs sister? Xiao Mang bore the True Dragon Bloodline, therefore, her future was at the primordial Sacred Ground.
Even as the two chatted together, a group of Violet Moon Peakâs disciples appeared.
Xiao Mang was Elder Yuelonâs most precious asset. She had ordered other disciples to keep an eye on her 24/7, making sure she was safe and sound.
âBrother, come on in. I want you to meet my friends. â
The female disciples of the Violet Moon Peak wore troubled looks as Xiao Mang dragged Chen Fan into the gate.
Boom!
The crowd boiled over after Chen Fan left.
âOh my god! What did I just see?â
âHe really is the True Dragon Goddessâ brother?â
âThatâs impossible! I heard from one of Shenxiâs confidants that Xiao Mangâs brother died.â
The disciples heatedly discussed the recent encounter.
It was going to be a shocking piece of news for Mount Reincarnation. Many people had concluded that Chen Fan didnât die during the battle against the demons and had returned.
However, they couldnât figure out how a Connate Level cultivator could survive such a deadly onslaught.
âSister⦠That guy really is Xiao Mangâs brother.â
Zhu Ninxue gaped in disbelief.
Zhu Ninmuo was quiet, but she couldnât hide the shock and surprise on her face.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoâs smile froze on his face. He squeezed and broke the railing on the side of the mountain trail as he tried to hold back his anger.
Chen Fan didnât mind any of that.
He let Xiao Mang lead him to the Violet Moon Peak.
Space opened up as soon as they went through the threshold. Chen Fan registered that they had left Planet Tianhuang and entered another world as soon as they went through the entrance.
Chen Fan looked to the distance and saw a sprawling mountain range with towering peaks.
Each mountain peak was home to a different branch of the sect. In the mountain valleys, Spirit Qi had condensed into Spirit Mist, hiding many Spirit Beasts within its veil. The concentration of Spirit Qi was at least ten times more than that of planet Tianhuang. The mountain trail was flanked by precious and rare fauna. This region was protected by many powerful spells carved into the mountains.
Chen Fan counted the peaks; there were thirty six of them.
Each mountain housed powerful presences; some were even stronger than Feng Ziqiu and were only half step away from reaching the Nascent Soul realm.
As Chen Fan ventured further into the region, he noticed a couple presences that represented a threat to him.
âNascent Soul Cultivators?â
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and scanned the mountains near him, as he tried to rein in the agitated spirits of the Kun Peng and the Xuan Wu.
He was still vulnerable against Nascent Soul Cultivators even after he had completed the first transformation of the Deity Wheel, more so a year before when he was at the Two Worlds Peak.
However, Chen Fan had already perfected four True Forms: the Xuan Wu, the Azure Thearch, the Kun Peng and the Thunder Loch. They provided Chen Fan with the equivalent of four Golden Cores. Therefore, a Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldnât be much of a threat to him.
âBrother, this is the Elixir Peak. The grandpa there is nice to me and he gives me elixirs every day.
âThat one is Divine Weapon Peak. The grandpa there is nice to me as well. He lets me play with all kinds of treasures.
âThatâs the Beast Peakâ¦â
Holding Chen Fanâs hand, Xiao Mang showed Chen Fan the place where she had been living for the last three years.
She was taken to a place that was thousands of miles away from her hometown when she was only thirteen.
Since she had finally seen Chen Fan, she really wanted to show him everything.
âI see..â
Chen Fan nodded with a fatherly smile.
Zhao Juexian and the three girls also looked at Xiao Mang with a warm smile. Who wouldnât like such an adorable munchkin.
Xiao Mangâs face bloomed like a flower; however, she also noticed that there was practically no change in Chen Fanâs level of attainment.
She realized that Chen Fan must have gone through a lot in the past three years.
âEven if he lost all of his power, he is still my brother. I will protect him from now on.â
As she thought this, Xiao Man squeezed Chen Fanâs arm tighter.
âHm.â
The sight didnât sit well with the other disciples of Violet Moon Peak.
They had never heard about Xiao Mang having any relatives. Elder Yuelon had also reminded them to stop any male disciples from getting close to Xiao Mang. Therefore, they were concerned about the intimacy between Xiao Mang and her brother.
Meanwhile, Hua Nonyin was overtaken by a pang of distress.
She was a senior disciple of the Violet Moon Peak and a peak Golden Core Cultivator. She knew many things that the others didnât.
Things such as Xiao Mangâs background and the matterâs sensitivity.
âI have to inform the Master.â
Hua Nonyin shot Chen Fan a glance and heaved a sigh.
Chen Fanâs arrival was quickly spread from Zhu Ninxueâs mouth to all the thirty-six mountain peaks.
The news shocked Mount Reincarnation.
