The Rebirth of the Eternal Caliphate

Ch.4

This food that Chen Fan shared with the Jiang family was not pleasant with any imagination. The Jiang family strictly followed the traditional manners, which meant no babbling while eating.

However, Chen Fan did not mind silence. His mind had already turned to his past memories.

"It's been a long time since I've prepared food by Aunt Tang," she thought sadly.

Aunt Tang's marriage was not perfect, especially in later times when Jiang Haishan had gained an important position in government. Mired in various public events, he rarely went home, and so the couple slowly separated.

Chen Fan remembered that when he was poor and disadvantaged, he had to drive away Auntie Tang. To her, Aunt Tang's dish was the best meal ever.

"Dearly enough. Aunt is handsome and has amazing cooking skills; it's a shame that she is married to a husband whose only pursuit is strength," Chen Fan regretted in his mind.

While busy between the kitchen and the dining room, Aunt Tang managed to stop for a moment and spoke to Chen Fan, "Fan, this is your first time visiting Chu Zhou City, she said, I'll ask Ran-ran to take you to go downtown to buy toiletries and groceries. I'm doubtful you'll have everything you need in your rental home. "

“Thank you.” Chen Fan accepted the offer without consulting Jiang Churan.

Jiang Churan nodded with an annoyed face. He might agree to the task now, but once he got out of the house, he would immediately get rid of the boy.

The dinner ended after Chen Fan's farewell with Aunt Tang with a smile.

As soon as Chen Fan walked out of the house with Jiang Churan, the smile on the girl's face evaporated.

Without looking at Chen Fan, he said coldly, "I still have something to do, you can shop by yourself, right?"

He paused for a moment and then continued, "You know how to get a taxi in town, right?" His voice was filled with regret. He thought Chen Fan would play dumb and insisted on coming with him; but surprisingly, he noticed when the boy nodded and then said, "Of course I know."

He did not turn around until Chen Fan's image disappeared behind a row of willow trees. Guilt slowly crept into his heart, and he had a desire to catch up with the boy and help him. However, the thought of the huge difference in all aspects of their lives made him think better about his actions. They weren't meant to be together, the sooner he explained to her, the better for the two of them.

"Well, that's fast. Did you even go with him?" Aunt Tang asked her daughter curiously as soon as the latter walked into the house again.

Still grappling with guilt, Jiang Churan said softly, "He said that he could do it himself."

He then heard his father snort, "I won't let my daughter hang out with such a loser."

Jiang Haishan's career had reached its peak. In order to be promoted further, he will need strong support from those with significant political influence, such as deputy mayor Li.

Luckily for Jiang Haishan, the vice mayor's son was not only his daughter's classmate, but he also seemed to be very interested in Jiang Churan. The deputy minister even alluded to potential marriages on several occasions. Although it was an opportunity he could not miss, Jiang Haishan could not agree to the proposal so easily, especially when his daughter was very young. It would be a sign of desperation if he did.

Giving Chen Fan's famous achievement, Jiang Haishan, originally had high hopes for the boy. However, after meeting with Chen Fan, he admitted that the reality was far from what he expected. Li Yichen, the mayor's son was a much more suitable candidate for his daughter.

He jerked his head into the kitchen and grumbled, "Your daughter is young, don't just bring anyone into our house. He needs to focus on learning."

Aunt Tang frowned deeply and rushed out of the kitchen. "Excuse me? She is my daughter, and this is MY home. I can bring whoever I want here."

Seeing his parents doing it again, Jiang Churan raised her gaze and went straight to his room. It could have been a quiet and pleasant night, but the young man of the village had ruined everything.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan had already walked into the lake. He was not at all bothered by the unpleasant encounter with the father and son pair; they were nothing to him, and he had a much larger fish to fry.

As he walked along the path that hugged the shore of the lake, he felt the tides of energy around him very carefully.

Spirit Qi is not static. It flowed like water and always headed towards an area with a lower Qi potential. On very rare occasions, Qi would gather together, forming what the peasants called the Numinous Abode. Wherever there was the sea, there was bound to be a desert; some places were extremely lacking in Qi.

After following the path for several miles, Chen Fan finally stopped.

"Here we go. I guess I should dare to the depths of Yunwu Mountain if I want to find a better place." He looked around and found her in a patch of willow trees. Even though it was a hot summer night, she felt a cool breeze on her bare skin, and it was quite comfortable.

Chen Fan found a large willow tree barking, and sat down cross-legged, overlooking Yanhui Lake.

Located next to the thriving city space, Lake Yangui, "Lake the Birds That Swallow Back" is the largest lake in Chu Zhou City. Many residential houses, commercial buildings, and hotels were built around the Lake. Thanks to the large amount of water provided by the lake, Chu Zhou City, a city in the northern part of the province, also had a hint of southern charm.

Cultivation development was divided into eight stages: Qi Refinement, Spirit Connate, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Void Returning, Dao Reunion, and Tribulation. In each stage there are sub-levels. The first stage, for example, consisted of three sublevels: Foundation Foundation, Ethereal Enlightenment, and Divine Sea.

As the name suggests, the first sub-level is about building a strong foundation from which all other cultivation stages are developed. Once completed, cultivators would have incredible strength, speed, and agility. It was a transition period when cultivators reached beyond the limits of the human body. Cultivation must also have the ability to gather some level of mysterious power to use minor spells.

The next two sub-levels are usually combined together and are called the Eternal Enlightenment phase. Once a cultivator completed both levels, he could use stronger spells and arts. They could summon natural elements like the ground to turn them into golems that would fight to the death. In the eyes of ordinary humans, these cultivators were no different from Gods, although technically they were not Gods by the long chalk.

Once a cultivator had broken the first stage, he would enter a stage called connate, where one could ride in the back wind wherever he wanted and live over five hundred years. However, even with that magical power, they were still far from immortal.

"It's too early for me to think about Connate. I should start by focusing on Foundation Establishment for now."

"What kind of art should I use to rebuild my foundation?" Chen Fan asked himself.

“The reason why my cultivation failed during times of distress was not only a mental demon but also my weak foundation.” Chen Fan nodded as he pondered on his past cultivation.

"Disregarding all pretenses and excuses, my downfall was my inability to complete each stage perfectly. This time I need to learn my lesson and build each and every stage as strong as possible." His mind slipped during the most critical moment of his cultivation made Chen Fan sigh in regret.

Despite this, there were still many things that Chen Fan had to be grateful for. For one, he was miraculously given another chance to start all over again. Find the official novel in , faster updates, better experience , Please click www. .com to visit.

The Foundation Establishment Stage was the first stage of cultivation; it was arguably the most important as well. In order not to repeat his mistake, Chen Fan was determined to take his time and perfect this stage.

"I've collected all kinds of secret arts and magical spells in the past five hundred years. In my collection, the art of building his own foundation amounts to thirteen thousand three hundred six different parts. In the last iteration of my life, I have used the Foundation Establishment art of the True Martial sky sect. It was simple and easy; however, I needed something stronger to achieve perfection. "

He had formulated a plan and decided on the art in his mind ever since he was in Aunt Tang's car.

"I will use the Grand Dao Sect's Mortal Void Refinement Art!"

The Grand Dao Sect was one of the most outstanding sects in the field of cultivation. Although the sect had never been the father of a heroic grandmaster, they were revered for the unique art of Foundation Establishment.

Once mastered, the arts would help cultivators to utilize more power than those using other arts.

"Inclusivity is not only the key in mastering this art, but it is also important for me to cultivate with limited Qi resources. The Qi on earth dried up, and I needed to scrape away any useful resources I could find, including medicinal herbs, numinous treasures and even bad elements like hatred of Qi and death Qi. There would be no art more suitable than the Mortal Refinement Void Art given the circumstances. "

The so-called Malice Qi, Yin Qi or Death Qi was not much different from bread and butter cultivation: Spirit Qi. They are all extensions of the universe itself, a reflection of one or two countless sides.

That being said, far away spirit Qi was available on a planet, and it was easier to bend into whatever shape or form the cultivator wanted. Other forms of Qi require certain dharma arts to be utilized. Without the help of some very special arts, an ordinary cultivator would not be able to utilize all forms of Qi until they reached the Golden Core stage.

However, with the special ability of the Mortal Refinement Void art, Chen Fan should be able to utilize the Qi from all sources right from the start.

The word "void" in its name refers to the vast universe. The boundless space contained an unimaginable amount of Qi from various sources, all of which could be utilized using this unique art. whether it was the Qi within the star core or the Qi from the origin deep underground; art could handle everything.

The motto of the Grand Dao sect also reflected their all-encompassing spirit well, "I am nothing and everything."

"Honey. Despite their great ambition of uniting all forms of Qi into one, the task ended up proving too much for sect members with mediocre talent."

Chen Fan shook his head and sighed. No matter how ambitious the Grand Dao sect was, advanced cultivation required specialization instead of diversification. The True Martial sky sect was able to rise to the top rank of all the sects thanks to his dedication to only one or two arts.

Chen Fan calmed down and started the Mortal Refinement Void.

The art was not only useful in harnessing Qi but was also effective in straightening one's body. It was a good way to increase proficiency both internally and externally.

As he slowly progressed with his cultivation, his body seemed to be a black hole that sucked various Qi and energy into him. The air around Chen Fan was immediately devoid of life, so much so that even the breeze became restrained.

He was so engrossed in his cultivation that he almost forgot the passage of time. The moon was up and down, and before he knew it, it was a new day.

As the sun rose above the calm lake, Chen Fan suddenly opened his mouth as a white light flowed out from him. The light soared several tens of meters into the air, piercing through the morning air like a sharp blade going into the belly of a fish. The strange white light did not dissipate until it floated above Chen Fan for several minutes.
