Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator

Chapter 920 Taking Beihuang By StormThe Beihuang Heavenly Region, City of Fallen Stars…

This newly built city was much smaller than its ancient counterparts. It only had a few hundred square kilometers, the same size as the Royal city of the Beihan Region. However, the scene inside the city screamed extraordinariness.

The City of Fallen Stars had been planned based on the constellations in the night sky. Each building corresponded to one shiny star, and each district a constellation. Its streets had been paved with stones that were covered by energy infused Astral Symbols.

Energy flowed through its streets and alleyways, creating a soft whir in the City of Fallen Stars. It sounded like countless monks reciting a sutra.

Above the city, the starry sky beamed rays of silvery light down at the city, basking the people inside with its serenity. The city was situated at such a unique place that it was under the star's brilliance all day long.

The city residents could harness the Astral power thousands of miles away to improve their cultivation. They could also unlock the secrets hidden in the alignment of the stars and gain access to Astral Arts.

The energy present was higher in quality compared to other places, making it one of the most sacred grounds.

"They have drawn energy from the stars and locked it down in this city. Whoever built this city must be very powerful," a visitor from another region exclaimed.

"It's the Heavenly Lord Astral Sea from the Astral Wang Family. No one else could have done it," his companion marveled.

All the visitors were awe-stricken by the might of the Heavenly Lord.

At the center of the City of Fallen Stars was a shining palace and at the center of the place was a soaring pavilion.

Right at the entrance of the pavilion was a plaque that said: "Stargazing Pavilion."

This was the heart of the City of Fallen Stars. The Astral force beamed down from the firmament and converged there, forming a silver-colored Heavenly Pilar. The base of the light column was wider than the Pavilion and it flooded the Pavilion with its silvery brilliance. The Astral Force reached the highest concentration at this location. The energy was so condensed that the air felt heavy. One day of cultivation under the silvery light represented a month's work cultivating outside. This was the Wang family's most sacred ground.

Leaders of the mighty Wang Family had gathered together inside the Stargazing Pavilion.

They had a visitor that day.

An elder sitting at the center of the Stargazing Pavilion said with laughter, "My friend Changshen brings honor to our little hovel."

The elder was wearing a black robe with shiny specks. His peppery hair and wizened face couldn't hide the powerful energy coursing inside of him. When he let out a peal of laughter, the entire Star Gazing Pavilion shook as if there were an earthquake.

If Wu Wendin were there, he would have been surprised. Because the elder was the family lord of the Wang family, the only grandchild of Heavenly Lord Astral Sea.

His name was Wang Tianchen.

Thanks to the Wang Family Lord, the Wang family was a heavy weight in the Beihuang Region, if not the only heavyweight. The guest would have to command unprecedented prestige to be received by the Wang family Lord personally.

Meanwhile, the person sitting across Wang Tianchen was a handsome teenager. His black hair was cinched with a jade scholar crown. His pale face brought out the life and color in his lips. Overall, he looked just like a young dashing scholar.

However, the elders in the Wang family all regarded him with deference.

He was Luo Changshen, the Longevity Roll elite from the Changshen Heavenly Region.

"Uncle Wang and elders, I am touring the Beihuang Region to visit my friends. Meanwhile, I also wish to pay a visit to the newly risen Elixir Monarch Chen. I have heard so many things about him, and want to know him in person," Luo Changshen said lightly.

Unlike the elders, Luo Changshen sat right next to Wang Tianchen, despite the mighty astral power around him. He was able to hold his ground and was unaffected by the overwhelming energy.

His ability unnerved many elders.

Wang Tianchen was more than two thousand years old and commanded a world-shattering power. He could kill a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator with a puff of Astral True Essence. To be able to sit right next to the old man spoke loudly of Luo Changshen's strength.

"You're in luck. You should be able to meet him in a short while," a white-haird elder said.

"Hm?"

Luo Changshen was taken aback by the response.

The Grand Elder of the Wang Family, Wang Tianyi, said with a smile, "He has attended the Linjiang Deity Gathering, along with Lichen, Gufen and the girl from the Long family. The Tianxuan Institute was where the last Elixir Monarch came from, so I would expect some conflict between them."

"Indeed. Elixir Monarch is a prestigious title that is equal to the title of Heavenly Lord. Even we have to show some respect to the Elixir Monarch. An alchemist from the barren region would never have what it takes to become one. Giving him the title was pitting him, he should quietly stay in his alchemy lab for the rest of his life. Instead, he carried it around as if he truly had earned it. Does he really think he can be the Elixir Monarch?"

Wang Tianchen smirked.

Chen Fan had made a lot of enemies of late and had become a thorn in the Wang family's side. The Wang family became increasingly less tolerant of him.

"Well then. I will remain here and wait for the good news."

Even as Luo Changshen rose to thank his host, a silvery star light beamed down at the Stargazing Pavilion and into the hand of Wang Tianchen.

"This is the Astral Letter art. I bet it's a message from the Linjiang Deity Gathering. Changshen, you will learn what has become of Chen Beixuan right away. I say he must have been grilled by the families and his title was revoked," the Grand Elder said confidently.

However, he was cut short by Wang Tianchen's furious slamming on the table. He stood up in a fit of anger and hummed. "How dare you, Chen Beixuan!"

"What's going on?"

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

Wang Tianchen then read out the letter word for word.

"After much deliberation, we had decided to revoke Chen Beixuan's title… Chen Beixuan then attacked us, killing Hu Xiao, Feng Yuqiu and three others… His wood element divine powers were much stronger than we had expected. I joined Long Hua but was still unable to bring him into justice. I have failed."

A deadly silence fell over the Stargazing Pavilion

The Grand Elder Wang Tianyi turned into a frozen statue. Shock and disbelief were written all over his face. Many elders jumped out of their seats incredulously. Even Luo Changshen narrowed his eyes and was distrubed by the news.

The news not only reached the Wang family, but also all the thirteen states in the Beihuang Region before it started to spread to other Heavenly Regions and Beihuang States.

Many were startled.

It sounded implausible.

The gathering of the Three Great Young Talents including Heavenly Jade Sword Prince could be a piece of overwhelming news any given day. However, Chen Fan's victory over the Great Young Talents and his killing of six young elites quickly became the much more shocking news.

It stunned everyone in the Beihuang Region.

"Is it real? Why does it sound like fabricated news?"

"The Wang family also sent the Astral Letter back home, saying the exact same thing. Lord Wang is furious."

"Unbelievable! Who would have thought that Chen Beixuan could not only create a Heavenly Pill, but he also was a powerful warrior. He will surely appear on the Longevity Roll now after defeating so many powerful foes."

"I bet he would be in the top twenty if not the top ten."

People discussed the news with each other.

Since Chen Fan had never displayed his strength before the gathering, most people thought he was just an average Golden Core Cultivator.

Hu Xiao and Feng Yuqiu were both mighty forces among the young people in the Beihuang Region. They both had superior-grade Golden Cores and should be no less powerful than a State Lord.

Therefore, it was surreal to find that Chen Fan was able to kill them with such ease.

"Another true power since Heavenly Lord Astral Sea is going to rise. I have no doubt that he'll become a Heavenly Alchemist in the future," a senior cultivator said with tears in his eyes.

Meanwhile, many people waited for the Heavenly Lord Families' response gloatingly.

"Hu Xiao is dead. I wonder what the Hu family will do."

Rumor said that Lord Hu had smashed an entire mountain in a fit of anger after he received the news.

Meanwhile, the Guild Master put on a dark face and walked into the inner chamber of the Alchemist Tower in silence. He would enter seclusion cultivation for a while.

The other family lords were as furious as Lord Wang.

"This is Impossible!"

"He killed the heir of the Feng Family. He will pay for this."

"We shall wage a holy war against him. Ready our legions and fetch me my Heavenly Treasure. I need to teach Chen Beixuan a lesson: Never, ever mess with a Heavenly Lord Family."

Many people in the Hu family and the Feng family screamed for a holy war to avenge Hu Xiao and the others who had died.

However, the elders of the family wore a troubled look and were silent.

Not only Chen Fan was as powerful as any family lord, but they also knew practically nothing about him. Nor did they know any details about his divine power.

"Unknown Divine Art. "

"His level of attainment is… unknown."

"Don't forget that powerful Fiend Qi, and the unknown Quasi-Heavenly Treasure."

It was apparent that there was more than what the eye met when it came to Chen Fan. Before they properly gauged his power, not even a Heavenly Lord Family would make a move on him.

Therefore, the situation quieted down although the tension was still palpable.

News about Chen Fan's victory continued to spread across Tianhuang. Soon, the entire planet would hear Chen Fan's name.
