Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator

Mars was only a hundred million miles away from Earth.

Chen Fan only needed half a day to fly to Earth. As he got closer, he felt the powerful vitality and terrifying energy that was spread ten thousand miles around Earth, as if it had become a lively cultivation planet. The Spirit Qi on the planet was even denser than on Planet Tianhuang.

“Luckily, these Divine Arrays and Deity Arrays are only there for defense. Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators wouldn’t know they were here if they don’t attack.”

Chen Fan flew carefully.

Only when he reached this level could he feel the killing arrays surrounding the planet. Each of them could crush Grand Cultivators easily; not even the ancient Saints would have dared to enter the planet. Those Deity Arrays and Divine Arrays had probably been formed thousands of years in the past.

Chen Fan didn’t notice them because he wasn’t powerful enough back then, and it wasn’t the time for the arrays to appear, either.

“It doesn’t mean they didn’t exist even if I didn’t sense them before. I think Earth probably just allows Nascent Soul Cultivators to enter. Soul Formation Grand Cultivators will certainly be attacked by these arrays.” Chen Fan guessed.

He was familiar with most of those arrays, so after careful observation, he kind of knew what they were used for. Thinking of this, Chen Fan was relieved. He could even fight with Nascent Soul Cultivators, as long as there weren’t any Soul Formation Grand Cultivators.

“Swish.”

Chen Fan turned into a beam of golden light and sped closer to Earth. When he was about to pass through the atmosphere, he immediately felt layers of the power of laws pushing around his body, making the trace of golden light shrink from ten thousand feet long to just a hundred.

“What is going on?”

Chen Fan was shocked.

His body shook and he almost headed towards the Earth’s surface like a shooting star.

Chen Fan felt as if he were carrying a hundred mountains on his back. He used to go a thousand times faster than the speed of sound; he could only reach twice the speed of sound at the moment. The Essence Qi in a few thousand miles even froze like an iron plate. Chen Fan could only gather a bit of it within a few hundred feet slowly.

“I knew it. The Essence Qi and the laws on Earth were strengthened.”

Chen Fan confirmed it after testing a few times.

He wasn’t quite surprised about this. The laws on many cultivation planets were extremely tough, and after being strengthened by a Grand Cultivator or a Saint, not even Connate Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators could fly there. An attack made by a Golden Core Cultivator could have destroyed everything in dozens of miles, but it could barely crush a mountain on those planets. This wasn’t the most terrifying.

Some said that in some powerful worlds deep in the universe, Nascent Soul Cultivators were just like ordinary people and they had to walk everywhere. Only Grand Cultivators or Saints were able to fly. And in the Deity Realm, even Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals were like Qi Refinement Cultivators.

Ten thousand feet, nine thousand feet, eight thousand feet…

He fell like an iron weight, but he quickly stabilized his body. After all, the Essence Qi on earth wasn’t as strong as that on the large planets or the powerful realms out in the universe. Chen Fan sped above the sea with a trace of light, creating a long wave.

“Roar!”

A weird fish a hundred meters long jumped out of the sea and roared at Chen Fan. It tried to bite him with powerful energy all over its body, but he crushed it to pieces.

“This sea monster is as powerful as a Connate Cultivator. Back on Planet Tianhuang, its attack would have swept through dozens of miles across the ocean, creating raging waves.”

Chen Fan gauged how powerful the sea monster was and his heart sank.

In just a decade…

What had Earth become? In the past, the most powerful cultivators were at the Connate Level only, even if the Spirit Qi had been slightly restored. However, a sea creature’s body could compare to that of a Connate Cultivator at the moment, although it didn’t have much Dharma Power.

He pondered as he glanced around and used his Immortal Will to find out his location. He was in a tropical area, probably the Southern Hemisphere.

“Let’s just go back first.”

Even though Earth had changed a lot and even a fish had turned into a monster of the Connate Level, family and friends were more important. Chen Fan quickly flew to China. He cast a spell to hide himself since he didn’t want ordinary people to discover him.

Zhong Hai, China, 2026.

A decade was an extremely long time for the largest city in China. The changes he saw there were completely beyond Chen Fan’s imagination.

He looked at Zhong Hai from above and saw many buildings with a few hundred floors there. Zhong Hai Tower, which used to be the tallest in the city, was like a shorty among the other buildings.

Not only Zhong Hai.

Many other big cities Chen Fan was familiar with seemed to have had great changes. The population in those cities was only a couple of million people before, but then Chen Fan saw crowds of people there. Almost 80% of the population in China was gathered in those big cities, especially Zhong Hai. Chen Fan scanned the area with his Immortal Will. There were at least a hundred million people.

On the contrary, the wild areas outside the cities seemed to have been abandoned. Many forests, plains, plateaus and hills had become barren lands.

A lot of beasts—that were three to eight meters long and had abundant Spirit Qi—had appeared there. Apes gibbered and tigers roared. Chen Fan even saw a dragon a few hundred meters long flying in the sea, and a leopard that was ten meters tall, as large as an elephant and had green glitters in its eyes.

All those beasts were above the Connate Level.

“Earth has changed too much in just a decade.”

Chen Fan lamented.

Golden Core Cultivators used to be unstoppable on Earth. Even the God of Death in Egypt, Anubis, was just a Golden Core Cultivator. At that moment, any monster could be close to the Golden Core Level.

“How can humans on Earth resist so many powerful beasts? The beasts aren’t afraid of nuclear weapons anymore once they reach the Golden Core Level.” Chen Fan frowned.

Along the way.

Although there were many monsters in the wild, people in the cities were peaceful and calm. However, as the Spirit Qi in the environment surged, there were more humans who started cultivating.

Chen Fan saw people jumping a few meters onto the bus in the cities. In some parks or arenas, old people were wearing white cultivation outfits, practicing tai chi. They seemed to be relaxed and their power had at least the Connate Level.

But there were only a small number of such people.

There might only be one in a hundred people. Most of the others were still unable to cultivate. They were only a bit stronger and could live over a century.

“There’s no way the Connate Cultivators could resist the beasts out there. Besides, there are also Nascent Soul Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators from other planets, and the Divine Princes from the large sects in the Star Ocean.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

He passed by many cities and he could sense the energy hidden inside. There were a few Connate Cultivators and even a couple of Golden Core Cultivators.

And yet, not one Nascent Soul Cultivator came to view.

If there weren’t any Nascent Soul Cultivators in China or on Earth, “Chen Haifeng” of the Qiyun Sect could have already conquered the planet and exterminated the five superpowers by himself.

“Whatever, I should go to meet my parents and Xiao Qiong first,” Chen Fan thought as he flashed towards Jin City in the Jiang Nan Province. The North Qiong Sect and the Chen family were there.

“Swish.”

He was extremely fast. In eight minutes, he had arrived at Jin City, but he was stunned when he saw East Mountain. The coldness in his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the sky.

“Damn it. What happened to East Mountain?”

East Mountain used to be flourishing and flooded with people, but it was like a normal barren mountain at the moment. Looking closely, Chen Fan was able to see a couple of ruins. The thing was, the arrays Chen Fan had formed there were like iron buckets and they should have been able to operate for a thousand years.

Swish!

Chen Fan arrived at the North Qiong Pavilion.

The North Qiong Pavilion with its twelve floors had been shattered and only a few floors were left. The grass and trees surrounding it were dozens of meters tall, covering the entire building.

Chen Fan stood there with a cold look. He waved his hand and cut off all the grass covering the North Qiong Pavilion. He walked inside, searching every corner with his Immortal Will, but there was no trace of a single person. The place seemed to have been abandoned for many years.

“Where’s Xiao Qiong? Sister An? Mom? Dad? Grandpa?”

Chen Fan turned pale.

Not only Sister An and the others, he couldn’t even find the disciples of the North Qiong Sect. In the end, Chen Fan shot up into the sky and launched an attack on East Mountain.

“Boom!”

The entire East Mountain collapsed and the ground cracked. Countless rocks rolled down, burying the ruins of the North Qiong Sect and the North Qiong Pavilion.

“Mom, look at the Deity,” a little girl pointed at Chen Fan and yelled.

The tall, elegant young lady next to the girl immediately said, “Don’t be so rude.”

At that moment.

The people in Jin City were startled. They looked up and saw someone, in a golden aura like a Deity, destroy the mountain with an attack.

“How powerful!”

Countless people were frightened.

Those at a higher level looked especially serious.

The man who could still make such a destructive attack had to be a Golden Core Perfected Cultivator. People like him could make the entire Earth shake by just stomping a foot. Many people were anxious. Earth had already been in chaos, and then came another mysterious cultivator to Jin City, who would give all the heavy hitters in the city sleepless nights.

Some old people widened their eyes. They recognized the place where the golden man attacked. Wasn’t that East Mountain that used to be powerful?

At the same time, a lot of people were in awe of Chen Fan’s power and some even took out their phones to record the scene. Unfortunately, Chen Fan had disappeared right after the attack, but this incident still circulated on the Internet, causing a great furor.

Only the little girl lowered her head and said, “Why do I feel like he’s sad? Do Deities get sad?”

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was rushing towards Chu Zhou City anxiously.
