Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator-Chapter 1150 - The Ceremony Began

On Earth.

As the day of the ceremony drew near, billions of people all over the world had become a sea of joy.

In order to let everyone watch the unprecedented Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony, television stations and media around the world—including Mango Live, Banana Live, BBC and CNN—came together. They used a few thousand cameras and tons of drones, satellites and transmission arrays to capture every corner of the entire Chu Zhou City from all angles, not leaving a spot unattended.

“Jiang Hua” of Mango Live was the host of that live broadcast.

He had become famous since he had hosted the live broadcasts of Chen Fan’s battles twice, and was thus appointed as the host by the North Qiong Sect, while another female host was Ningxin, Xu Rongfei’s roommate at Yan Jin Film Academy from back then.

The thirty-year-old Ningxin wasn’t as fetching and flashy as she used to be. She seemed more mature and calm at the moment. She was an actress of the national television station, but the seniors urgently transferred her over to host the live-broadcast because of her relationship with Chen Fan.

In the end, there were even two special guests, Master Ling Yun and Heavenly Lord Anpo.

“Master, Heavenly Lord Anpo, I can’t believe we have the pleasure of having you as the special guests of this live broadcast. We’re more than thrilled; I’m a fan of you both,” Ningxin was wearing a tailored black suit as she spoke to the camera with a beaming smile.

Master Ling Yun seemed a bit cautious.

He hailed from a large sect in the Star Ocean and had never seen such a strange technology from Earth. As he faced that small camera, Master Ling Yun was unable to understand why that ordinary machine that had no Spirit Qi at all could transmit sounds and images to billions of people, especially when his Immortal Will could scan an area with a few hundred mile radius.

In comparison, Heavenly Lord Anpo was relaxed and calm.

Heavenly Lord Anpo smiled and said, “Hosts, viewers, it is my honor to be the commentator of Divine Lord Chen’s ‘Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony.’”

“Heavenly Lord Anpo, can you explain to us what a ‘Divine Lord’ is?” Jiang Hua asked curiously.

Even after more than a year of promotion, many people on Earth were still confused about the Divine Lord title. They knew Chen Fan was powerful, beyond the scope of normal Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords, but they didn’t understand why a Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony made the Deities from Kunxu cry and countless cultivators from other planets yield. A few Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords had even killed themselves merely because a single order.

“I know that Divine Lord is the title for a Soul Formation Grand Cultivator, but I don’t understand why this Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony has to be so grand. Many cultivators from other planets traveled a thousand miles to attend this event. As far as I know, Divine Lord Chen and the North Qiong Sect in fact used to be the enemies of Heavenly Lord Anpo back then, right? Two of your disciples were killed in the hands of the North Qiong Sect,” Jiang Hua said with a piercing voice. Many people were sweating on his behalf.

That smiling, immortal-like old man with white hair and white beard facing him was a peak-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. If he became enraged, he had enough power to crush everyone in the entire television station to pieces.

“Haha, you may not understand the weight of the two words, ‘Divine Lord,’ in our minds.” Heavenly Lord Anpo wasn’t angered at all.

“Oh, please go on,” Jiang Hua said.

“As you know, Divine Lord is the title for a Soul Formation Grand Cultivator, but do you know what a ‘Soul Formation Cultivator’ is?” Heavenly Lord Anpo asked.

“Well…” Jiang Hua and Ningxin looked at each other.

The two of them were only ordinary hosts and not even Connate Cultivators. So, they knew nothing about a cultivation as high as the Soul Formation level. In fact, none of the people on Earth had an understanding about such a cultivation tier. Only a few Nascent Soul cultivators and the core members of the North Qiong Sect were familiar with it.

“In fact, I didn’t know at first. I felt like I was stuck when I reached the peak-stage Nascent Soul Level. I read many old books and went to Planet Tianhuang to look for records about Soul Formation Cultivators in the six imperishable sects. After that, I finally realized the secrets of the Soul Formation level,” Heavenly Lord Anpo caressed his beard and said, “The Soul Formation Level appears to be a level above the Nascent Soul realm. However, its difference with the Nascent Soul level is actually even larger than that between Nascent Soul cultivators and ordinary people.”

“Huh?”

Jiang Hua was shocked. The people on Earth sitting in front of televisions and computers were also shocked.

“The difference between Soul Formation cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators was even larger than Nascent Soul cultivators and ordinary people? How is that possible?”

“That’s true,” Heavenly Lord Anpo said with a tone of certainty, “Let alone other regions, in all of the few hundred planets in the Abandoned Planet Region, there have only been six Soul Formation Cultivators since a million years ago, which are the six Divine Lords of Planet Tianhuang. Together with several other Divine Lords, less than ten people have been bestowed with such a title. The last one, Divine Lord Tatian, also died a hundred thousand years ago.

“Even though there aren’t many Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Abandoned Planet Region, we still have around a thousand eight hundred. There may even be a few thousand in the last hundred thousand years. However, there isn’t even one Soul Formation Cultivator among the thousands of Nascent Soul Cultivators. This is how difficult it is to reach the Soul Formation Level.”

“That’s right.” Master Ling Yun said, “There hasn’t been one Soul Formation Grand Cultivator in the last dozens of years in all of the Wuluan Planet Region where the Xuanfeng Sect is located, although there are also imperishable sects. Seven centuries ago, there was once a Cultivation Grand Event in the Wuluan Planet Region. Over one thousand three hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators showed up.

“Think about this, there were one thousand three hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators, but none of them has become a Soul Formation Cultivator. This is how difficult it is to reach the Soul Formation Level.”

People all over the Earth were completely astonished after hearing what they had said.

There wasn’t even one Soul Formation Cultivator among a thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators. The difficulty of reaching that level was truly much higher than breaking through from the Divine Sea to the Connate level, or from the Connate to the Golden Core level.

“In fact, most sects that have Soul Formation Cultivators are from those ancient or imperishable sects. Half of the Soul Formation Grand Cultivators in the Little South Heavenly Realm used to be the Divine Princes or elders of those sects before reaching that level. Only a few of them were lucky enough to rise to the top of the Soul Formation Level with either talent or opportunities. Once cultivators reached the Soul Formation realm, their sects and families would also be different. They would eventually rule a planet region and become the natural dominators.

“For example, many of the planets yielded to the Grand Cultivators in the Nanli Planet Region where the Changshen Sect is located and the Silver Star Planet Region where the Wuji Sect resides. Even if some planets, sects or families tried to resist, they failed in the end,” Master Ling Yun said.

According to the two of them—

The birth of a Divine Lord represented the rise of a powerful sect.

After those large sects rose, they would certainly not tolerate anyone who was encroached on their power, and they had to dominate the entire planet region. Such being the case, the cultivators in their planet region could only obey them or be eliminated. There was no other choice.

The disciples of Heavenly Lord Anpo had been killed by the North Qiong Sect. They should be bitter foes at this point, unable to survive in the same world together. However, everything was completely different once Chen Fan became a Divine Lord.

“If someone dies after offending a Divine Lord or his sect, it becomes evident that said person deserved it. As there are skeletons paving the road to the rise of a Divine Lord, no sect or family would try to take revenge. They would only be even more fearful and respectful when dealing to the Divine Lord,” Heavenly Lord Anpo said firmly.

Master Ling Yun also nodded.

Divine Lords couldn’t be offended!

That was the first rule of the Abandoned Planet Region and the entire Little South Heavenly Realm. There were very few people who survived after violating that rule. There weren’t many of them, apart from Song Yufeng.

Heavenly Lord Anpo hesitated and said, “Besides, I heard that once someone rises to this position, he’ll be able to gather all the fortune in the entire planet region and become someone like the Child of Planets or the Child of Fortune. He’ll have an invisible yet powerful energy and would never lose in this region. That’s why the Divine Lord title is so precious.”

Even he was unable to figure it out.

What exactly the Qi of Planets and the Child of Fortune were.

If Chen Fan was there, he would understand that if a Soul Formation Cultivator cultivated in another planet region, he would leave his own Dao Patterns and Dharma Laws there, resonating with the Dharma Laws of the world in that place. Using Dharma Spells and Divine Powers there would bring twice the result with half the effort, which was like having a home advantage.

In fact, Nascent Soul Cultivators were also the same. They left many Nascent Soul marks in the regions of Planet Tianhuang. Unfortunately, the Nascent Soul Dharma Laws in the Abandoned Planet Region were incomplete, so they couldn’t strengthen their power by much. Master Ling Yun knew about it, but not a lot.

Everything about the Soul Formation level and fortune was usually known by the big secrets across the entire universe; ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators weren’t familiar with them.

“Look, the fog outside the sky palace of the North Qiong Sect has been lifted. The Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords have been invited to enter. The ceremony has officially started,” Jiang Hua yelled excitedly.

Dong!

Following the sound of a morning bell and the evening drum—

The fog that enveloped the mountains and pavilions floating on the top of Yun Wu Mountain were lifted, showing the towering peak and the stunning cultivation ground. A lot of disciples of the North Qiong Sect came down from the cloud stairs wearing robes, ushering the guests who came from afar inside. Those who were able to go up the stairs were at least Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords or the representatives of a planet.

The Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony had officially begun.

Meanwhile.

Outside the solar system.

Countless cultivators were spread out in space, wearing armors, holding weapons and radiating auras. They were arranged in eight formations, lined up in the void. Each of them had a vicious energy and was surrounded by True Essence. All of them seemed to be Golden Core cultivators and there were countless of them.

There was a group of more powerful Nascent Soul Cultivators at the forefront.

The few Divine Princes at the front either wore golden armors with fire burning around their bodies like the golden sun floating in the sky, or some with silver wings and Yin Yang eyes, while others had a Demon Sun that swallowed the sky behind them like a Fiend Dog eating the sun. Each of them were incredibly terrifying; none of them were weaker than Divine Prince Yi Qian. They were only more powerful than he was, surpassing the peak-stage of the Nascent Soul level.

They were wearing armors that had different kinds of light. They stood on the chariots, holding the reins. There were different monsters pulling the chariots. They were either one-hundred-foot winged dragons, fierce black tigers or giant green rhinos. All of them were Nascent Soul Beasts.

Qiao Zhen and Qiao Yu were standing on one of the chariots.

It was then that a knight in golden armor, standing at the front like the sun, slowly said, “Let’s go and trample all over the Earth!”

Boom!

The entire army started moving as he issued the order. Countless Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators boarded the battleships; they followed the Divine Princes riding chariots on their way down to Earth.
