Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1377: Chen Fan Arrives

Besides the Flesh Cultivation of his Nine Great True Selves, Su Han’s Martial Path Cultivation has also reached the Dragon Venerate Realm Mid Stage!

Just like his Flesh Cultivation, Su Han’s Martial Path Cultivation also benefits from the Nine Great True Selves, equating to nine people cultivating.

Calculating it this way, combining Flesh Cultivation and Martial Path Cultivation, it’s equivalent to eighteen people cultivating. The distributed eighty years amounts to just four and a half years.

For others to break through from Dragon Venerate Realm Early Stage to Mid Stage on the Dragon Martial Continent, four years, let alone four hundred years, might not be enough. Yet for Su Han, it took only a little over four years, and he still isn’t satisfied?

”It’s decent enough.”

Su Han murmured to himself, ”Fortunately, I had these Spirit Crystals and Blood Crystals, otherwise it would have been even slower.”

In this Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, during the eighty years, Su Han used over a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, leaving only around two hundred thousand.

As for Blood Crystals... he used over a billion.

However, Su Han didn’t mind the consumption of Blood Crystals, because there were just too many in his Storage Ring, enough to last a long time, at least enough to elevate his flesh to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But Spirit Crystals were different. Based on Su Han’s experience, if he wanted all the Nine Great True Selves to reach the Dragon Venerate Realm Late Stage, then these two hundred thousand Spirit Crystals would be barely enough.

Beyond that, for Dragon Venerate Realm Peak or transforming a mortal into a spirit to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm, there would be nothing left to use.

Su Han left all those Spirit Stones in the Phoenix Sect as with his current cultivation, Spirit Stones were almost useless, just something to fill a gap in his teeth.

”This is a real headache...”

Su Han sighed, patting his head, ”Even though possessing the Nine Great True Selves grants terrifying power, the resources needed are just as terrifying as I imagined...”

”How can I obtain more Spirit Crystals? Should I trade Spirit Arts like I did when I first reincarnated on the Dragon Martial Continent? Or use Pill Formulas, or Artifact Refining Records?”

”I could also fight Black Fist fights; with my current strength, I could handle underground fights, but arenas are out of the question, not to mention slaughter houses.”

”Alternatively, becoming a mercenary, taking on missions, can also fetch Spirit Crystals.”

”Or I could search for ores on some planets or hunt spirit beasts to exchange for Spirit Crystals, that’s also an option.”

The more Su Han thought about it, the more eager he became.

In this Lower-Class Star Region, there are numerous ways to acquire Spirit Crystals.

But no matter the method, strength is essential!

Moreover, having a stable background is necessary to conceal one’s identity.

Up until now, he hadn’t even joined the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, so he decided not to worry about these matters for now.

For now, he had to focus on cultivation and await the day of the assessment.

Only by becoming a formal disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion would he avoid serving as hard labor or a handyman for the Starry Alliance, or being a starry drifter.

Having a safe haven in this Lower-Class Star Region is the most crucial.

...

The days that followed were very mundane.

Raising Spirit Beasts, cultivating, raising Spirit Beasts, cultivating...

Time flowed swiftly in this routine.

Upon entering the Starry Sky, time became almost worthless.

Because besides native starry inhabitants, people like Su Han possessed a lifespan of at least tens of thousands of years, which increased rapidly with each breakthrough.

Only strength was genuinely precious.

Eight years passed quickly.

Su Han’s cultivation remained at the Dragon Venerate Realm Mid Stage, but both his Martial Path and Flesh Cultivation had reached the peak of the Dragon Venerate Realm Mid Stage.

He was just one step away from breaking through to the Dragon Venerate Realm Late Stage!

Chen Fan’s arrival prevented him from having the chance to break through for the time being.

...

”Fellow junior brothers and sisters, how have you been lately?”

A voice came first before the person arrived.

Chen Fan landed from the far-off void, smiling as his words fell.

Seeing him arrive, everyone’s heart tightened.

They had all been counting time, and after thirteen years, Chen Fan’s arrival signaled that the disciple assessment was about to begin!

Some rejoiced while others worried.

Because over these thirteen years, almost everyone got to understand each other’s cultivation and strength, and their previously burst-out confidence was completely suppressed at this moment.

The strong had nothing to worry about, but the weak sighed inwardly.

They felt that thirteen years really was too short; if they had a few hundred more years, maybe they could swiftly enhance their strength, making the assessment smoother then.

However, there are no ’ifs’ in this world.

When the time comes, Chen Fan arrives.

”It’s been alright.”

”Hahaha, the Spiritual Energy here is abundant, and along with Spirit Crystals, it’s much better than where we were before.”

”Senior brother Chen Fan, is the assessment... starting?”

At the last person’s question, the scene immediately went silent.

”Yes, it’s starting.”

Chen Fan nodded, ”Not everyone participating in the assessment is here. In other places, there are similar people like you, raising spiritual beasts or doing other things.”

”I am here to take you to the assessment; the location is at the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.”

”I believe after thirteen years, you should have prepared, and now is your time to shine.”

”There’s no need for pressure; do your best. Even if you can’t become a formal disciple, strive for the title of a Registered Disciple.”

”There’s one more thing I should tell you.”

”During each assessment, although the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master won’t appear, there will be high-level figures from the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, like Outer Sect Elder, Elder of Inner Sect, and even pinnacle elders, protectors, Guest Elders, and some Corps Commanders watching.”

”If your aptitude and strength are up to their standards, it’s very possible to be accepted as a Direct Disciple.”

”Of course, the odds may be small, but there’s always a chance.”

”If you become their Direct Disciple, you’ll truly rise high, becoming a phoenix among crows.”

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people instantly showed intense longing and anticipation.

If they could really become Direct Disciples, they would rank even higher than formal disciples, and they wouldn’t have to worry about cultivation resources in the future...

But is it really so easy to become a Direct Disciple?

Pipedream!
