Chapter 80: Anna - 80
Zhou Fan spent the next few years observing the world's growth. Without a doubt, he spent the most time looking at the celestials. Since they were born with adult bodies, they didn't take long to start reproducing.
It was only a year after their creation that they had a child. It was the first natural born celestial in the Zhou World.
The baby was a girl that they had named Anna. Zhou Fan developed a great interest in her as soon as she was born. That was because he could feel immense talent from her.
Although he was itching to test her talent, he still chose not to interfere with the celestial race.
Either way, it would only take five years before she started cultivating. In the last year, the two celestials had long started cultivating. Unfortunately, their talent wasn't that good.
He estimated that they had king rank meridians. While it would be great back on earth, Zhou Fan was disappointed as they were born from his mind.
Anna however, shouldn't be a disappointment. He even estimated that her talent was greater than the beasts.
Since he had had free time, Zhou Fan had created more rankings for meridians. Beyond emperor rank meridians, there were now god, supreme god, and immortal rank meridians.
He estimated that the beasts were at immortal or supreme god rank while Anna should be even higher than that.
5 years passed by very quickly as Zhou Fan watched Anna grow up. It was this day that she would start to cultivate. Her parents called her from her room and told her to sit down.
They then spent the next hour explaining cultivation and even giving her the book that they had long memorized.
Anna was stunned at first, but she quickly started to accept cultivation as a natural part of life. After all, she had spent her entire life watching her parents do incredible things.
Before she even started to cultivate, her parents taught her how to fly. Since celestials were born with the body of a core formation cultivator, they would be able to fly as soon as they turned five.
As expected, Anna learned it in an instant.
In the next few years, she started to cultivate. Her pace was much faster than her parents and it only took her a year to break into core formation.
Her parents, who were at the nascent soul realm, felt immense shock at Anna's progression.
At her rate, it wouldn't be long before they were surpassed by their daughter. And indeed, after another year anna had surpassed them and reached the fifth level of nascent soul.
In another year, her parents had another child. He had nowhere near as much talent as Anna, but he was still quite lucky since he was born with spirit level meridians.
Anna didn't spend much time with her brother. In that year, she had broken into the 5th level of soul formation and was starting to get bored with her current life.
All that existed to her was the garden and her family. She had never seen or even heard of an animal or any other existence beside herself.
Therefore, after another 5 years, she decided to set off on a journey. If she had taken such a journey on earth, she would have reached every corner in mere seconds with her new and improved 7th level soul formation cultivation, but in the Zhou World, it would take her many years to even go around.
After all, the planet was much bigger than Zhou Fan's old solar system by many times.
One thing that made Anna angry was that her cultivation was slowing down immensely. In 5 years, she had only broken through two more levels.
Unknown to her, the only reason she had broken through so fast was because of Zhou Fan. He wanted her to be able to survive in the Zhou World as quick as possible.
Otherwise, the celestial race would be wiped out by the ever expanding existence of supreme beasts and the new Spirit beasts.
Spirit beasts were animals that had successfully embarked on the path of cultivation. As for supreme beasts, there were now more than 20 of them.
The first four still reigned supreme, but they may not for much longer.
Although Anna's strength was incredible, it wouldn't take long for the supreme beasts to catch up.
With all the enhancements Zhou Fan added on to the Zhou World, every realm before void traversing was tens of thousands of times easier to break through than when he was cultivating.
Of course, a minimum level of talent was still needed before one could break through all those realms.
If Zhou Fan had been born on the current Zhou World, he would have already broken through to void traversing or even higher.
Still, he was glad that he had to work from the bottom. it made everything seem much sweeter.
As Anna left for her journey, Zhou Fan stopped paying too much attention to her. It was once again time to focus on himself. Although creating a world had been fun, he was ready to keep cultivating.
Everything else was only a side mission. Before he went into seclusion, Zhou Fan manipulated the celestials to be able to temporarily inbreed without defects. After all, they had to inbreed for a while.
Otherwise, they would never grow beyond the second generation.
Zhou Fan didn't feel like thinking about it too much as he quickly solved the problem. He then flew up to the sky.
However, he paused in mid air. Although letting them grow on their own was good, he should make them a goal to stride towards.
Otherwise, the only thing to cultivate for would be to rule the world and kill others. That wouldn't be good for the Zhou World in the long run.
Therefore, Zhou Fan quickly constructed a giant floating palace over the center of the world. He made floating steps up towards its entrance.
Reaching the palace would be the goal of every race in the world from now on. The steps applied more pressure every step one took.
In order to reach the top, they would have to have strength equivalent to a fifth stage space shattering cultivator.
That wouldn't be happening any time soon.
Chapter 81: Celestial Lands - 81
After laying out a future path for the residents of the Zhou World, Zhou Fan went into the palace he had created and got ready to cultivate.
The inside of the palace didn't have much at first, but Zhou Fan put a few pieces of furniture around and then some mystical looking things in case anybody ever made it up the stairs.
He would also have to make some prizes so that their journey wasn't fruitless, but he would do that later.
Zhou Fan sat in the middle of the back of the palace and started to cultivate. Along with himself, he could also feel his mortal Dao growing in power.
As he cultivated, Zhou Fan realized that his cultivation speed had become terribly slow. It was as if he was taking a step every minute and his destination was the other side of the world.
Although his breakthrough speed had slowed down every realm, it had never had such an exaggerated decrease. Without a doubt, the lesser Dao creation realm was the hardest realm he had encountered.
Despite the slow speed, Zhou Fan had no idea how to increase his pace. Therefore, he simply sucked it up and kept cultivating.
Ten thousand years passed by.
Zhou Fan, who was sitting in the floating palace, stood up for the first time in ten thousand years.
For the first time in a long time, Zhou Fan frowned. His cultivation speed couldn't even be called slow anymore. It was as if it was frozen.
It took him ten thousand years to break into the second level of the Lesser Dao Creation realm. Ten thousand years for a single increase.
That was an astronomical amount of time. He couldn't even estimate the changes that had happened in that time.
Zhou Fan briskly walked to the exit of the palace. He soon arrived and sneakily exited without opening the doors or making any noticeable movements.
The sight he saw as he left was something he had never expected to see. The once empty area was now filled with structures and celestials.
It seemed that they had built a city directly under the floating palace. At the start of the stairs, there was a palace blocking the way. He couldn't be sure, but it was likely that one would need the permission of whoever owned that palace to attempt to climb the stairs.
As for why people didn't try to fly up and enter the building that way, Zhou Fan had set up a defense formation that would heavily injure anyone who tried. They had likely learned their lesson very quickly.
Zhou Fan took a glance at the city below and was able to tell how many people were there. In total, there were ten thousand people. Within that population, there were 100 core formation cultivators and five nascent soul cultivators.
The strongest of them was at the fifth level of nascent soul. Such an amount wasn't strange at all. Although the celestials were born with bodies at core formation, they still had to start cultivating at Qi gathering. Not to mention, their talents on average were just barely above humans. If one in a thousand humans had the talent to reach core formation, then one in five hundred celestials would have the talent to do the same.
That difference wasn't only because they were born from Zhou Fan, but also because of the density of Qi in the world. As time passed, talent would increase proportionate to the amount of Qi.
When Zhou Fan broke through, the size and Qi density of the Zhou World started to slowly increase. It would keep increasing until it reached the limit of his current realm.
That was another reason why Zhou Fan left seclusion so early. He decided to let the world grow before he broke through again.
After looking around, Zhou Fan sneakily descended to the entrance of the city. Above the entrance, there was a plaque that read 'Floating Palace City.'
It was a basic name, but it fit the city perfectly. After changing his appearance to that of a celestial male, Zhou Fan walked in without any obstruction.
He walked around the city that was eerily similar to a human city. There were markets lining the sides and buildings with architecture barely different from humans. There were kids playing around and fresh food being sold.
One thing he didn't see was crime. It was likely that the celestial race had gotten rid of most of it. The only criminals would be powerful cultivators.
After walking around for a bit, Zhou Fan stopped at a stall. It was selling freshly cooked buns. Zhou Fan's hand sneakily traveled through space and took a couple of coins from the city bank.
"That will be 4 copper." The owner said. Zhou Fan nodded and took them out. The material that coins were made out of was almost exactly like humans, but the engraving was different.
Each of the coins were marked with an oddly familiar face. While eating the bun he bought, Zhou Fan stared at the coin. After a couple of minutes, it clicked.
The face on the coin belonged to Anna! Or at least her descendant. Although it was much more grown up, there was no doubt it was her or someone related to her.
Curious, Zhou Fan stood up and walked towards a random passerby.
"Who is this girl?" He asked him while pointing towards the coin.
"Are you an idiot?" The man asked with a genuinely confused look on his face. "That is the emperor of the celestial lands. Were you born in a forest?"
Zhou Fan chuckled and asked him another question. "Is her name Anna?"
"Of course!" The man answered. "Legend says that she was one of the first celestials ever born."
Zhou Fan thanked the man and walked away after giving him a silver coin for his trouble. The man was confused at first, but then thankful for Zhou Fan's kindness.
Zhou Fan started to walk towards the palace under the floating palace. He decided to meet the leader of the city and ask him some questions about the current world.
