Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

Lin Daoya suddenly turned around and kowtowed frantically to Chen Fan: "Senior, your kindness and virtue will be forever unforgettable for the Heavenly Saint Sect! Senior, by returning our ancestral master's remains, you are like a second parent to our Heavenly Saint Sect!"

"No need."

Chen Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the three Crimson Flame Sect cultivators who were still trembling in the distance. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. "These trash are an eyesore."

The voice just fell.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With three muffled thuds, the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Crimson Flame Sect, along with thousands of other Crimson Flame Sect disciples on the periphery, instantly exploded into clouds of blood mist, their bodies and souls annihilated!

With the killing intent of someone at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, killing these ants wouldn't even require lifting a finger.

Lin Daoya and the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect gasped, their eyes filled with utmost awe as they looked at Chen Fan.

"Lead the way to the back mountain," Chen Fan instructed.

"Yes! Yes! Please, senior!"

……

The back mountain of Tiansheng Sect is a tranquil cemetery.

Chen Fan personally dug up a patch of soil with excellent feng shui, carefully placed Yuan Lingzi's remains into the coffin, buried it, and erected a tombstone.

After doing all this, Chen Fan patted the dirt off his hands, stood in front of the tombstone, and remained silent for a long time.

"Yuan Lingzi... the things you gave us helped us through our most difficult time. Now that your family is declining and your sect is in ruins, since we're here, we'll see this through."

Chen Fan turned around, looked at Lin Daoya who was standing respectfully to the side, raised his right hand, and pointed a finger at Lin Daoya's brow.

"Buzz!"

A stream of extremely pure immortal energy flowed directly into Lin Daoya's body!

Lin Daoya's serious injuries were instantly healed. Not only that, his cultivation, which had been stagnant at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm for many years, began to surge like a rocket!

Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm!

Late stage of Nascent Soul!

The Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation!

He even... faintly touched the threshold of the Void Refinement stage!

"Senior...Senior! This! This!" Lin Daoya was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently as he felt the vast power within his body.

Chen Fan withdrew his finger and said calmly, "I left a wisp of my divine consciousness within you. As long as it's not a Mahayana cultivator who makes a move, I guarantee you won't die. From now on, the Heavenly Saint Sect will call the shots in this territory of the Great Yu Empire."

Then, he raised his head, and a terrifying divine sense at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm instantly enveloped the entire star field where the Great Yu Empire was located!

A cold voice boomed in the minds of all the high-level cultivators:

"Dayu Empire, Tiansheng Sect."

"This place is safe with our family."

"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on them, we'll exterminate their entire family!"

After making the announcement, Chen Fan ignored Lin Daoya's grateful kneeling and bowed. With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of light, rushed into the starry sky, and disappeared.

Lin Daoya and his disciples remained, kneeling and worshipping the starry sky for a long time.

……

Interstellar travel, oblivious to the passage of time.

After leaving the Great Yu Empire, Chen Fan followed the star map and sped towards the core area of ​​the Cultivation Alliance.

The deeper Chen Fan went, the more intense the shock became.

He saw a truly advanced cultivation star!

Those planets were incredibly large, and some of them were even surrounded by star rings composed of pure, top-grade spirit stones!

He saw colossal cosmic beasts spanning several star regions, chained by powerful cultivators and used as laborers to pull massive starships.

He sensed countless powerful auras, with those at the Void Refinement stage as numerous as hairs on a cow, those at the Integration stage everywhere, and even the divine senses of those at the Mahayana stage occasionally intersecting in the starry sky.

Finally, after two months of flying through the void.

Before Chen Fan appeared a vast and indescribable landscape.

It was no longer a single planet, but a vast nebula stretching for trillions of miles!

Within this nebula lie nine colossal level-nine cultivation kingdoms! Each cultivation kingdom is like an ancient behemoth coiled at the center of the universe, radiating a suffocating sense of oppressive power.

"Nine level-nine cultivation kingdoms...each governing ten level-eight kingdoms, and so on..."

Chen Fan stood in the void, gazing at the nebula in the distance, his eyes reflecting the dazzling starlight.

At the highest point of this nebula, there was a faint aura that transcended the Tribulation Transcending stage and carried a trace of "immortal" intent flowing through it!

"A wandering immortal..." Chen Fan squinted and muttered to himself.

He suddenly remembered the Great Yu Cultivation Kingdom before he came here, and he remembered Tian Nanxing.

He immersed his divine sense into the star map, trying to find the location of Tiannan Star in the extremely complex star field division of the Cultivation Alliance.

I searched for a long time.

Finally, at the very edge of the star map, in a corner marked "Free-range area below level five", we found a spot of light that didn't even have a name.

Chen Fan looked at the tiny point of light, then looked up at the vast and boundless core of the Cultivation Alliance, filled with powerful figures.

He suddenly laughed, a laugh that was both self-deprecating and relieved.

"So, the arum lily is much smaller than we imagined..."

"However... with the Mirror of Reincarnation here, even if this place is a den of dragons and tigers, we still have to venture in!"

Chen Fan took a deep breath, his Daoist aura at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage extremely restrained.

Transforming into an inconspicuous streak of light, it sped towards the vast core area of ​​the Cultivation Alliance!

……

The core area of ​​the Cultivation Alliance is vast and boundless.

The starry sky here is completely different from that of the barren and remote Tiannan Star. What meets the eye is no longer the deep, cold, and lifeless silence, but rather colorful galaxies formed by the convergence of rich spiritual energy.

The Milky Way is like a series of giant, luminous ribbons that stretch across the universe, connecting massive, breathtakingly large high-level cultivation stars.

Chen Fan transformed into an inconspicuous streak of bluish-gray light, traversing this dazzling star field for several months.

Even with his terrifying speed at the peak of his tribulation, he was like a drop in the ocean in this star field called "Kunxu," and he deeply experienced what vastness truly meant.

Ahead, a colossal, deep blue planet appeared.

Surrounding this planet are three rings of asteroid belts composed of pure, top-grade spirit stones. From time to time, enormous cosmic beasts pull luxurious spaceships through the array passages between the asteroid belts.

"Kunxu Star Region, Tianbao Market."

The incomplete star map information obtained from the soul search appeared in Chen Fan's mind, and he recognized the planet in front of him.

This is one of the largest trading hubs on the edge of the Kunxu Starfield, a "market town star" entirely composed of chambers of commerce and array formations.

Without hesitation, Chen Fan's figure blurred, concealing the astonishing pressure of his peak Tribulation Transcending stage cultivation, suppressing his cultivation to around the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. Here, the Nascent Soul stage was neither arrogant nor like a lowly ant, easily manipulated.

As they passed through the thick atmosphere, the scene that came into view caused even Chen Fan's usually calm eyes to ripple slightly.

There were no streets, nor were there any conventional cities.

The entire Tianbao Market is comprised of numerous white jade islands suspended in mid-air. These islands are connected by transparent bridges of spiritual energy. Throughout the sky, cultivators riding high-level exotic beasts and colorful magical artifacts can be seen everywhere.

Nascent Soul cultivators here can only do errands and odd jobs. Deity Transformation cultivators are everywhere, and occasionally you can even sense the faint aura of Void Refinement or even Body Integration stage experts.

This is the core star region under the rule of a ninth-level cultivation kingdom!
