<h4>Chapter 984: News from Earth</h4>


    “You can’t shout at us like that even if we’re wrong,” Xu Na said.


    Zhao Juexian also looked serious. Even though he wasn’t as powerful as Lord Dragon, they were both Chen Fan’s servants. Everyone would have been pissed if someone humiliated them like that.


    “A bunch of narrow-minded people. You’ve never seen how vast the universe is and you said that Tianhuang is the most powerful? How can I not say ‘bulls**t’ to you? If what you said is right, what am I? What’s Divine Prince Luo?” Lord Dragon grunted.


    “You...”


    Even Zhao Juexian was stunned.


    Lord Dragon was apparently much more powerful than Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang of the Reincarnation Sect. It had only lived thirty thousand years, but everyone was frightened of it, not to mention that it was the Lord of the “Devil God Sect.”


    “Fine, let me open your eyes.


    The scruffy old cultivator took out a cigarette. He blew out a plume of smoke and said slowly, “Nobody knows how vast the Star Ocean is. What we do know is that it’s boundless and is formed by manys, regions and the most powerful gxies.


    “There’s a region formed by countlesss at the center of the universe. It’s called the ‘Central Gxy’ and it’s the real core region of the Realm of Cultivation. The most powerful races, the top talents and the strongest sects all gather there.


    “There are Sages that are born to be able to fight with Soul Formation Cultivators, elites that can kill Nascent Soul Cultivators at the Golden Core Level, beautiful Divine Princesses that attracted the ancient Saints and Overlords who can destroys with an attack.”


    Compared to the Central Gxy, all the others and regions are nothing, no matter if we’re talking about sects, cultivators and sacred grounds,” the scruffy old cultivator said with a hint of admiration in his eyes.


    “Really? Howrge is the Central Gxy?”


    Xiao Mang was interested after hearing what he said.


    A gxy formed with countlesss. How beautiful!


    “Haha, nobody knows. Not even the Nascent Soul Cultivators are able to reach the end after flying for a hundred thousand years. I’m afraid it’s billions of milesrge. You people on Tianhuang should just forget about it.”


    The scruffy old cultivator snickered and shook his head as he smoked again.


    “Hm, Tianhuang is also powerful!” Xu Na said.


    “Haha, Tianhuang? It’s just a small barren in a deste area. Which region out there has less than a thousands?”


    The scruffy old cultivator cracked up. Heughed and shook his head at the same time.


    Tianhuang is way smaller than any found in other regions in the universe, let alone those found in the Central Gxy. Besides, do you know how powerful Luo Changshen’s sect is?”


    Everyone was confused.


    Xiao Mang thought that Luo Changshen was almost as powerful as Chen Fan. A sect that could nurture a cultivator with the power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator had to be simr to Mount Emperor. So, would it be another imperishable sect?


    “The ‘Changshen Sect’ where Luo Changshen came from is an imperishable sect. Do you know what it means to be an imperishable sect?”


    The scruffy old cultivator continued without waiting for the others to reply and he put up three fingers.


    “This means that the sect hasn’t only got one Soul Formation Cultivator, but generations of Soul Formation Cultivators. Once the sect loses all of their Soul Formation Cultivators, they’ll be removed from the list of imperishable sects.”


    “And the Changshen Sect is the one thriving in this generation. They have three Soul Formation Cultivators!”


    “Three?”


    Sthh!


    Even Zhao Juexian was startled.


    Everyone gasped.


    Mount Emperor only had Heavenly Lord Tatian, who appeared a hundred thousand years in the past, and they had been ruling Tianhuang for so many years. The other sects like the Medicine God Sect even remained superior after a few hundred thousand years because they used to have Soul Formation Cultivators.


    As for the Changshen Sect, they had generations of Soul Formation Cultivators and there were three in this generation. So, how powerful were they? One of their Soul Formation Cultivators had the power to single handedly destroy Tianhuang and the cultivations in the area.


    “The Changshen Sect indeed has many talented cultivators this generation,” the scruffy old cultivator shook his head and continued, “Up until now, the Changshen Sect has conquered three hundred and thirty seven cultivations and the entire Nanli Region. Every one of thoses are asrge as Tianhuang, but they had over a thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators. However, this isn’t regarded as a top sect, at least not much stronger than the Devil God Sect.”


    “Isn’t that a top sect already?”


    Xiao Mang’s eyes popped out.


    The others were also astonished.


    There might not be even three hundred and thirty sevens with life around Tianhuang, while the Changshen Sect ruled a few hundreds and a region. They also had three Grand Cultivators and countless Nascent Soul Cultivators. Wasn’t that a top sect?


    “Hm, the Changshen Sect is only superior in a corner of the universe. They’re just a small sectpared to the top sects deep in the Star Ocean and the ancient sacred grounds with the ancient Saints.”


    The scruffy old cultivator grunted, “Let alone those real sects that have conquered the Central Gxy and are standing on the top of the universe.”


    Then.


    The arrogant Lord Dragon also looked in awe.


    As if it were disrespectful to mention them. He slowly said seriously,


    “Those are the sects that have truly had Sages before! How could an Immortal Sect have no Sages? What are we before these sects that have a history of at least a hundred million years? We’re just a bunch of losers.”


    Lord Dragon shook his head and heaved a sigh.


    And yet Xiao Mang and the others didn’t have many thoughts about it, they acted as if they were reading a Heavenly Book. Only Chen Fan seemed to be thinking about something, but he became normal again the next second.


    “All right, don’t talk about these things. Just focus on this deity ground!”


    Lord Dragon smoked the cigarette and changed the topic. “Do you know why the Nascent Soul Cultivators on Tianhuang aren’t as powerful as those on others?”


    Chen Fan turned around when he heard this question.


    Xiao Mang pondered for a while and answered, “Brother said the cultivation arts on Tianhuang are iplete.”


    “Yes, thews of Tianhuang are missing a part, which is why your Nascent Soul and Soul Formation Cultivators aren’t as powerful as they should be,” Lord Dragon nodded and said, “In fact, not only Tianhuang, all thes with life in the ‘Abandoned Region’ have this problem.”


    “Why is that?” Chen Fan frowned and spoke for the first time.


    He was indeed confused. When he found that thews of Heavenly Lord Tatian were iplete, he had already felt something was wrong. Thinking carefully, thews on Earth were also the same, but there weren’t any Nascent Soul and Soul Formation Cultivators, so it wasn’t so obvious.


    But when Chen Fan returned to Earth in his previous life, he had never encountered this problem!


    “I don’t know. Some said the ancient Saints from Star Ocean formed a supreme array here and took away part of the arts.


    “Some said this used to be the battlefield of the ancient Fiend Gods and Sages died here, so thews were left iplete. Others said this is a corner of the human world and thews of the human world reject ours. There are many versions of this, but no one knows what exactly is wrong with this region. Even Nascent Soul Cultivators from the others are restrained. So, we call it the ‘Abandoned Region,’ referring to the ce abandoned by the Gods!”


    The scruffy old cultivator shook his head.


    The ce the Gods abandoned!


    Xiao Mang and the others were immediately stunned and even Chen Fan was shocked.


    Nobody would feel good when they heard that their homnd was an abandoned ce.


    “Of course, even though power is restrained here and many Grand Cultivators can’t even use their Dharma Treasures, this indeed has many graves of Sages and Gods. It’s full of opportunities like a deity ground. That’s why the sects around the Abandoned Region started to settle down after we found this ce a few hundred thousand years ago.


    “An Ancestral Patriarch of our sect once built the Fey King Hall on this, while Luo Changshen’s Changshen Sect built the Changshen Heavenly Region. As for other sects or races, they all had their own branches. Some are not even on this, like the Dark Wolves, the Dark Blood Race, the Mermen and the Light Race.”


    The scruffy old cultivator added, “I heard that the best opportunity is not on Tianhuang, but on a called  East.’ Unfortunately, the Fey King Hall made the wrong decision and we can’t go there anymore.”


    “What did you say?”


    Chen Fan grabbed the cor of Lord Dragon and said with fire in his eyes, “Did you say East?”


    “That’s right. Those descendants of the truly powerful sects and races have gone to East for great opportunities. Only a few old cultivators like me stayed on Tianhuang,” Lord Dragon quickly said.


    Chen Fan asked Lord Dragon a few more things and realized he didn’t know much. The others noticed something was off and Xiao Mang was worried. Chen Fan only shook his head, telling them he was fine.


    But Chen Fan had a lot going in his mind.


    He still remembered the Artifact Spirit of the Yuntian Pce told him that Earth used to be called...


    East?”
