Chapter 70: Chaos Crystal - 70
Yet another 10 years quickly passed. In that time, Zhou Fan broke into the 5th level of void traversing. His speed could now be compared to light.
The beasts had broken into the 9th level of core formation while Din Ren broke into the 5th level.
When Zhou Fan left his room, he first tested his new speed. As he sped up, the surrounding space began to warp and in a second, he traveled around the world 3 times.
When Zhou Fan stopped, he couldn't help but feel astonished. As he was moving at the speed of light, everything seemed to stop existing.
At first, the only thing he could see was light itself moving alongside him. As soon as he focused his eyes, however, he was able to once again see the scenery.
With his current level, he didn't follow the laws of physics. Even though a normal human and even other cultivators below his realm would need light to see, he had transcended that.
Since he was scared he might destroy the world, Zhou Fan didn't test his strength.
With a sigh, Zhou Fan looked at the stars. It was clear that he would need to leave the world at some point. Not only was it too weak, but Zhou Fan was actually a danger to it.
Perhaps the next time he breaks through, he will release a bit of energy. Although miniscule, that bit of energy could cause mass destruction.
In fact, the only thing stopping Zhou Fan from leaving was his speed. Although he could move at the speed of light, that wasn't even close to fast enough to go to another solar system.
He had considered moving to another planet in his solar system, but earth was the only one. All that remained was an asteroid belt circling the sun.
After some brief consideration, Zhou Fan decided to leave for the asteroid belt as soon as he said his goodbyes. After that, he would move into the vast universe. There was a high chance that once he left, everyone would be dead once he came back.
Even if they kept cultivating, there was a limit to their ability, or rather, Zhou Fans. With his current strength, he could only create a Qi producing array that would allow them to get to soul formation. After that, their cultivation speed would be horrifyingly slow. Perhaps a single small realm would take a hundred thousand years. By then they would already be dead.
With a single step, Zhou Fan disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared next to the beasts. Although they weren't gathered before, Zhou Fan gathered them all up in that single step.
He also brought along Din Ren and the other talents. Each of them had become successful in the last 20+ years.
Besides Din Ren, the other talents had managed to break into core formation not long ago.
"I will be leaving soon." Zhou Fan said.
Before they could react, he continued.
"It will be a long time before we see each other again. In fact, we may never see each other again." He said.
He paused after he said that, giving them time to react.
"What?!" Din Ren blurted out. Zhou Fan's words were too sudden and unbelievable.
The other talents couldn't believe it either. To think that he could deliver them such saddening news with such an impassive look on his face.
The beasts, on the other hand, had sad looks on their faces. They knew that Zhou Fan wouldn't lie.
Looking at the beast's faces, Zhou Fan almost clenched his fist. In the end, he simply let a sigh out.
Even with all his experience, he couldn't help but feel sad seeing the looks on their faces.
"I'll be right back." Zhou Fan suddenly said. He then disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The students and the beasts looked where he once stood with dumbfounded expressions.
'What is going on?' They all thought in unison.
------------------
8 minutes later, Zhou Fan stood in front of the sun.
'This should be far enough.' He thought. As he was feeling helpless about the beast's sadness, an idea came to his mind.
The main reason that Zhou Fan knew they were going to die was because they couldn't split Qi.
Only those with Chaos Qi could do it. Since there was no one with Chaos Qi besides him, there was no way for them to grow further than soul formation.
Unless Zhou Fan's power was still there.
What if he managed to take a part of his powers and let them use it to split Qi in the future. In that case, they could simply make better arrays and use his power to activate it.
Therefore, Zhou Fan went out to the sun in order to try to take part of his power and crystalize it, which would let it be put in a Qi splitting formation.
Since he anticipated fluctuations in his power, he had moved out here. Otherwise, he may accidentally destroy the planet.
Zhou Fan put his hand in a grabbing motion in the air. His hands were shaped as if he was grabbing an invisible spirit stone. Suddenly, Qi began to pour from the void. Since he didn't bother to split it, it came out in its pure form. Chaos Qi.
With all his power, Zhou Fan controlled Chaos Qi to take the shape of a crystal. After 10 or so minutes, the Chaos Qi had formed a basic outline. Even so, the storm of Chaos Qi was still raging on.
If he had moved too close to the sun, it may have very well been injured by the endless Chaos Qi.
Suddenly, Zhou Fan removed one of his hands from the crystal and shoved his fingers into his heart.
He coughed blood out, but kept reaching his fingers in. He amalgamated some of his cultivation and blood essence within him to form a bead on his fingertips. As soon as the bead was successfully formed, Zhou Fan hurriedly shoved it into the Chaos crystal.
BOOM!
An explosion that could even be heard in space sounded out, sending a godly power to the surroundings.
Just as soon as it came, it went, absorbed into the crystal in Zhou Fan's hands.
Chapter 71: Leaving - 71
Zhou Fan looked at the crystal. It was completely gray and extremely beautiful.
As for Zhou Fan, he was currently pale and seemingly injured. With a closer look, it could be seen that his cultivation went down! His previous state of void traversing 5 had turned into void traversing 4!
Zhou Fan didn't care about the slight decrease in cultivation. He had expected that much before he started. In fact, he had expected it to be a little worse.
Zhou Fan disappeared from his spot and reappeared back at the academy. Due to the decrease in cultivation, the journey took him 30 minutes instead of the previous eight.
Even so, Zhou Fan was too excited to care about the little things. Without stopping, he gathered the beasts and the talented students.
Zhou Fan told them to make the best Qi producing array possible. Although confused, they didn't hesitate long before they got to work.
Since arrays were the most popular category of study, everyone in the room knew at least a little. Chen Zi had even become the greatest master of arrays in the academy besides Zhou Fan himself.
With him leading the charge, an incredible Qi producing array was created in an hour.
However, it couldn't produce Qi. Although they had made the structure, they lacked the ability to split Chaos Qi. Just as they were about to ask why Zhou Fan had them do this, Zhou Fan placed the crystal in the middle of the array.
With the addition of the crystal, Chaos Qi started to pour into the array. It took a path through the array and eventually went into the Chaos crystal.
When it came out the other side, it was no longer Chaos Qi, but more absorbable Qi's. Although the array wasn't strong enough to support every type of Qi or produce an amount similar to Zhou Fans, it marked a starting point for other cultivators.
Not to mention, they would naturally be able to make stronger Qi producing arrays as they studied deeper and grew in cultivation.
As for the Chaos crystal, it didn't seem to be used up at all. After all, Zhou Fan even sacrificed his cultivation to create it.
Instead of a Spirit Stone, it acted like an artifact. As long as there were spirit stones to power it, it would work until it decayed.
Speaking of spirit stones, Zhou Fan also taught them how to make them. It was a quick and easy process for someone at their level.
With that, all that was left to do was say goodbye. Although they may not die now, it would still be a long time before Zhou Fan ever sees them again. He didn't plan to come back within a hundred thousand years if he didn't need to.
After hugging the beasts, Zhou Fan silently disappeared from the academy. It would be a long time before anyone outside of those 10 found out he left.
--------------------
After an hour-long journey, Zhou Fan made it to the meteor belt. He found a fairly big meteor and sat on top of it. This would be where he cultivated until he gained enough speed to leave the solar system without traveling for a thousand years.
The view from the meteor was nice. The scene of the huge sun next to the earth that was tiny in proportion was beautiful.
After staring at it for a while, Zhou Fan closed his eyes and began to cultivate. It took 5 years to regain his previous cultivation level of void traversing 5.
It took another 7 years to break into the 6th level, and 9 more to break into the 7th.
Even with the constant increase in strength, Zhou Fan was no more confident in his speed.
It took 10 more years to break into the 8th level. By now, Zhou Fan was more than a hundred times faster than light.
It took 23 more years to break into the 10th level of void traversing.
Although excited for another realm, Zhou Fan knew it would take a long time. He took one more look at the sun and earth before he went back into seclusion.
-------------------------
60 years passed in what seemed like a blink of an eye to Zhou Fan.
Suddenly, Zhou Fan's eyes shot open as an immense power poured out of him. His full strength was uncontrollably released as space itself started to shake.
After a minute, space stopped shaking. Instead, it started to crack! Zhou Fan's power was destroying space!
Within seconds, the meteor below him was grounded to dust. In a minute, half of the meteor belt was gone. Gravity itself was broken as the meteors started to hurl away from their previous path. Just before the entire meteor belt was destroyed, Zhou Fan was able to reign in his power.
The cracking space and shaking solar system stopped breaking in an instant. With a sigh of relief, Zhou Fan thought back to how he almost didn't leave earth.
If he had chosen to stay, his breakthrough just now would have destroyed the world. His power was that strong!
Instead of thinking for too long, Zhou Fan checked his breakthrough. His power had increased a hundred times compared to his power in the 10th level of void traversing.
Even so, he wasn't sure that he was fast enough.
Standing up, Zhou Fan decided to test it. In an instant, he disappeared from where he stood and appeared on top of the sun. To his surprise, he could now travel to any place in the solar system in less than a second.
Suddenly, an idea came to Zhou Fan's mind. Remembering how he had cracked space with his breakthrough, he wanted to try to do it himself.
Getting in a punching stance, Zhou Fan powered up his punch before punching out with all his power upwards.
Space cracked instantly as a sort of suction force started to suck Zhou Fan in. Unfortunately for it, he was able to resist it with ease.
The same couldn't be said for the sun, however. Zhou Fan quickly waved his hand and used Space Qi to meld the crack in space.
'Wait!' Zhou Fan thought. 'Did I just use space Qi?'
