Chapter 1039: Everyone’s Contempt
The man with a beard was a Golden Core Cultivator who was enveloped in bolts of azure lightning. When he was angry, his power was terrifying. Lightning struck and dozens of the surrounding trees were blown to pieces. Many more azure thunderbolts surrounded the man.
Chen Fan felt as if there were a mountain above him. All the plants in dozens of feet around him seemed to have been smashed by an invisible hand, and the terrifying energy even became concrete, making the air freeze.
“Hm?”
Chen Fan frowned with discontent in his eyes.
The man might be powerful for Fu Qiang and the girl in a red gown, but he was just a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator to Chen Fan. His energy was like a breeze and couldn’t even move Chen Fan’s clothes. Chen Fan didn’t want anything to do with him at first. After all, he had killed thousands of Golden Core Cultivators on Planet Tianhuang, but the man was apparently determined to go against him.
“Buzz!”
The flying sword behind Chen Fan let out some blurry azure light which surrounded him. Some Sword Qi surged out and formed an invisible shield a few feet around him, blocking all the oppressive energy.
“Interesting.”
The man with a beard was shocked.
He knew how fierce and terrifying his gaze was. Many disciples in the sect would tremble when he stared at them. Was this weak Connate Cultivator unaffected by it? When the man was about to put more pressure on Chen Fan, Fu Qiang quickly said, “Officer Ding, stop. He saved our lives before. He’s definitely not the murderer.”
Under the pressure from Fu Qiang, the girl in a red gown also gave her explanation.
“Hm?”
The man with the beard was Officer Ding. He didn’t care about Fu Qiang as he was just a disciple of an outer sect elder, although things would be different if his Master, Perfected Cultivator Pofa, was present. However, the girl in a red gown was supported by a superior Ancestral Patriarch of the Spirit Husbandry Sect.
“I’m glad you’re okay.”
Officer Ding smiled.
He glanced over the dozens of dead bodies of the Tree Monsters on the ground and saw that they had been killed by a flying sword that went right through their hearts. He was a bit shocked. Officer Ding knew Fu Qiang and the girl didn’t practice Sword Arts.
“We were trapped by these Tree Monsters and we had used up all our talismans. We also let out the rescue fireworks and could only wait for someone to save us. If this man didn’t come and kill those Tree Monsters, we may not have survived until you came,” Fu Qiang explained.
“He knows such a powerful Sword Art?”
Officer Ding sized Chen Fan up and couldn’t believe it.
Fu Qiang was just a Core Formation Cultivator, so he would certainly think Chen Fan was worth recruiting. And yet, Officer Ding was already a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator and was only half a step away from becoming a peak-stage Golden Core Grand Perfected Cultivator. Once they reached such a level, Golden Cores below the fifth grade were nothing to him. Even if Chen Fan’s Sword Arts were comparable to Sword Art Perfected Cultivators, those were just Sword Arts after all.
Officer Ding could blow up everything in a ten mile range with a Thunder Art if he wanted; it wasn’t a big deal no matter how strong Chen Fan’s Sword Arts were.
That was why Officer Ding only nodded at Chen Fan indifferently, but was very concerned about the girl.
“Brother Fu, Sister Zhang, are you two all right?”
Then—
A few rays of light came from afar.
Those were the disciples of the Spirit Husbandry Sect. It was indeed one of the three large sects on Heavenly Jupiter. The Connate Cultivators among the disciples had powerful Dharma Power and a great foundation, which surpassed normal Connate Cultivators. As for the Golden Core Cultivators, their Golden Cores were basically above the fifth grade. The young man in white outfit who was leading the rescue group seemed to have a superior-grade Golden Core.
“Senior.”
Seeing that young man, even Fu Qiang and Officer Ding bowed immediately.
“Hm.”
The young man in white outfit was enveloped in layers of runes. He gave a quick glance at all the people present and only nodded gently when he saw Sister Zhang.
“If you’re okay, go to the Spirit Well quickly. Elder Sun is waiting for us,” said the young man.
“Brother Chen, this is our Senior, Qi Feng, who’s known as the ‘Perfected Cultivator of Spirit Runes.’ He’s good at using runes and secret arts. I’m sure you’ve heard about him,” Fu Qiang said with a smile after asking Chen Fan for his name, “The Spirit Well is about to open. Why don’t you come with us? It only opens to cultivators of the three large sects. If we go together, I’ll get a place for you as well.”
“No need.”
Chen Fan was about to shake his head.
The girl in a red gown said impatiently, “Brother Fu, let’s get going. The Spirit Well will be closed soon. We’ll miss the chance of enlightenment.” She glared at Chen Fan impatiently as she spoke.
Fu Qiang insisted, but Chen Fan shook his head, clearly uninterested.
“Hm, if he doesn’t come, it’s his loss. Only a limited number of cultivators can go into the Spirit Well each year and it’s guarded by the cultivators of the Ancient Monster Sacred Sect; other cultivators are forbidden entry. He’ll just waste his time if he goes there.”
The girl in a red gown grunted.
“Sister Zhang.”
Fu Qiang then nodded at Chen Fan and followed the others. Not once did the young man in a white outfit look at Chen Fan, nor the rest of the cultivators from the Spirit Husbandry Sect.
They were completely different people.
Those were the superior disciples of the Spirit Husbandry Sect, while Chen Fan was only a rogue cultivator at the Connate Level. Their destiny had been determined since the beginning.
“You’d better make a detour if you don’t want to go to the Spirit Well. Only cultivators of the three large sects can enter that place. Those Wood Monsters guarding the Spirit Well are vicious and they show no mercy to other cultivators. If you visit the Spirit Husbandry Sect someday, look for me. I’ll come and welcome you myself,” Fu Qiang said sincerely.
However, Chen Fan responded coldly, which angered the girl in a red gown. The other cultivators of the Spirit Husbandry Sect, including Qi Feng, were also upset.
“Let’s go,” Qi Feng said.
Fu Qiang could only leave in the end.
Swish!
When those of the Spirit Husbandry Sect turned into beams of light and disappeared in the sky, Chen Fan flew towards the Spirit Well with the azure flying sword.
The incident was just an unimportant matter in his journey. What he was concerned about the most was whether Heavenly Jupiter had the True Martial Sky-severing Array like Planet Tianhuang.
For this—
Chen Fan would have to delay his trip back to Earth and stay there for a bit.
“Whoosh!”
He flashed through a few hundred miles in an instant. Soon, he saw a giant green moon floating in the sky. As he got closer, he found that the green moon was actually the crater of a massive volcano. Rays of green light were shooting out of it like green pillars.
The group arrived at the Spirit Well!
“Stop! The Spirit Well is the Monster’s sacred ground. Only cultivators of the three large sects may enter.”
A Wood Monster came in a beam of green light and looked over with an unfriendly face. Its skin was like dead old bark and it looked like a Tree Monster that had a failed transformation, but it carried a powerful Wood Elemental Dharma Power and Golden Core energy. There was a green aura around it, producing buzzing sounds in a hundred feet radius.
“We’re disciples from the three sects.”
Some rogue cultivators wanted to trick the Wood Monsters, but were immediately knocked away.
Some people even hid themselves in light and tried to flash into the Spirit Well from above, but the arrays protecting the area discovered them. They were immediately exposed and a few Wood Monsters showed up, tearing them into pieces in the end.
So.
Many cultivators were stopped outside of the Spirit Well. Most of them were rogue cultivators. The Wood Monsters only allowed the disciples from the three large sects to pass through.
“Ah, the best resources on Heavenly Jupiter are in the hands of the three sects. When can we the rogue cultivators get our chances?” a cultivator complained.
Chen Fan stood in the air and looked into the “Spirit Well” with his Dharma Eyes. The outside of the Spirit Well was like the crater of a volcano, but it was incredibly vast inside. As he looked deeper, the Wood Element Spirit Qi became denser, which could almost grow Wood Spirits.
“The Spirit Qi here is as dense as that in the Deity ground of the Ancient Demons Loch. There must be something special.”
Chen Fan’s eyes glittered.
His Immortal Will was extremely powerful. It instantly passed through the arrays outside the Spirit Well—bypassing a couple of monsters hidden inside—and went deep into the bottom.
“Hm, there’s an array?”
Chen Fan frowned.
His Immortal Will felt the interference of an invisible array, but it was impossible for a normal array of the Nascent Soul Level or even a Divine Array to block it. That array on the other hand was like an iron wall that couldn’t be passed through.
“The opportunity of Heavenly Jupiter must be there.”
Chen Fan was certain.
His Immortal Will was extremely powerful after being strengthened by the Nine Orifices Divine Infant and nothing on Planet Tianhuang or even in the Abandoned Planet Region could block it, but the array had actually done so, meaning that it didn’t belong to this planet region and it might not even be the work of some large sect in the Star Ocean. It must have something to do with the Deity ground or the so-called “opportunity.”
“Swish.”
While Chen Fan was about to cast a spell to pass through the monsters and enter the Spirit Well, a shocked voice was heard. “My friend?”
He turned around.
Fu Qiang was standing in the light. The girl in a red gown, Officer Ding and Qi Feng were also there. They were surprised to see Chen Fan, and they were looking at him with a hint of disdain.
“Hm? Didn’t he refuse to come with us? Why is he here now? Does he really think he can sneak inside with his Connate Level?” Sister Zhang said with a mocking tone.
