Chapter 355: Field Trip - 355
The next morning, Zhou Fan, the children, and the animals played some board games. After having dinner and wishing the animals a goodnight, the group of 4 left the manor.
As they left, Zhou Fan once again put it in cryostasis.
"Was that where you were taking us for the trip?" Feng Liu asked as they flew through space on the giant sword.
"No, that was just a detour I made." Zhou Fan said.
"What was that place, and why was it just floating in space?" Lu Zhong asked.
"It's a place I found a long time ago, you don't need to worry about it too much." Zhou Fan said.
The children occasionally spoke for the next 5 hours, until they arrived at their destination, the Heaven galaxy.
Back when they were first unfrozen, Ying Xiong had put a formation on the two childrens backs that allowed them to stay within space unharmed.
Zhou Fan had done the same thing to Hei Ren. Just as the sword entered the Heaven galaxy, an old man appeared in front of them.
Zhou Fan put away the sword and he and the 3 children floated not far away from the old man.
"It's been a while. I didn't expect to come back so soon." Zhou Fan said.
"Welcome back, father. Much has changed." Heaven said.
"I brought these children here on a field trip. They'll go around and interact with the people of the Heaven galaxy, if you don't mind." Zhou Fan said.
"Of course not. Please, come in." Heaven said.
Zhou Fan and Heaven moved towards the heaven world, where Zhou Fan soon met an old acquaintance.
"Tian Fu greets Zhou Fan." Tian Fu said with a bow. He had entered the lesser dao creation realm, and was now at the 4th level.
"Wow. I didn't expect you to reach the lesser dao creation realm. Good job." Zhou Fan praised.
"Thank you. I am afraid I am the only person to do so from when I was younger." Tian Fu said.
"In that case, I guess all the planets were taken by the Heaven world?" Zhou Fan asked.
"It had seemed that way, but the addition of other races changed that. One named Pangu was truly terrifying, though we are both mostly retired now." Tian Fu said.
"I nearly forgot about Pangu. Where is he?" Zhou Fan asked.
"I'll take you to him." Tian Fu said as he led the group towards the Fiendcelestial world.
As they got closer to it, a person appeared in front of them.
"Tian Fu, Heaven. Good to see you." Pangu said. His body was only the size of a normal humans.
He then turned to Zhou Fan and the children.
"I'm afraid I don't know you, sir." Pangu said.
"I'm Zhou Fan." Zhou Fan said.
"Oh! I've heard about you from Tian Fu and heaven. It is an honor to meet you." Pangu said as he bowed.
"No need to bow. You seem to be doing well for yourself. The peak of the lesser dao creation realm is not easy to reach. It also seems that you'll be able to reach the inner world realm before dying of old age." Zhou Fan complimented.
"I do indeed hope to." Pangu said.
"Sorry to poach your residents, heaven, but would you like to leave the Heaven galaxy?" Zhou Fan asked Pangu.
Pangu fell deep into thought at Zhou Fan's words. He did not have many attachments as he had left the fiendcelestial race long ago, and there was no one who even remembered his name anymore.
"I suppose there is nothing left for me in this galaxy. I'll go with you if it is not an inconvenience." Pangu said.
"Good. I know just the place for you." Zhou Fan said.
"Since you've come from so far away, we should hold you a banquet." Heaven said from the side.
"I would like to meet all the lesser dao creation realm cultivators in your galaxy, so I won't reject that offer, though I need to take care of some business with you first." Zhou Fan said.
"What do y–" Heaven began to say before disappearing.
Pangu, Tian Fu, and the three children were left alone in space.
In an area far away, Zhou Fan appeared with Heaven.
"Your strength is barely sufficient anymore." Zhou Fan said.
He then raised Heaven's strength to the god realm.
Before Heaven could speak, they reappeared next to Pangu, Tian Fu, and the three children.
"Sorry about that, let's go to this banquet." Zhou Fan said.
Heaven did not waste any time and sent invitations with teleportation arrays to everyone.
By the time that they reached the banquet location, 7 lesser dao creation realm cultivators were waiting for them.
Heaven introduced them all.
"These 7, along with Tian Fu and Pangu, make the 9 lesser dao creation realm cultivators of the Heaven galaxy." Heaven said.
A lot of time had passed, so it was not surprising to see so many lesser dao creation realm cultivators. It even felt a bit low.
"There used to be 3 others, but a great battle broke out and they died." Heaven added.
Zhou Fan greeted everyone and spoke to them. Soon, the banquet had ended and Feng Liu was patting her full stomach. Lu Zhong was doing the same.
Even Hei Ren had eaten as much as he could due to the food's incredible quality. Even Zhou Fan had to admit that it was some of the best he had ever eaten.
Once they arrived at the Heaven world once again, only Heaven and Tian Fu were with the group of 4.
Tian Fu handed the children three jade slips that would allow them to go anywhere without any trouble, and Zhou Fan threw them in a random street, giving them the instructions to explore and have fun.
Naturally, they all had defensive measures to prevent any harm from befalling them.
Only after a week did the short field trip end. Zhou Fan stood on a giant sword at the edge of the Heaven galaxy, which now contained an extra person.
"It was nice to see you again. We'll meet again." Zhou Fan said.
Heaven said his goodbye's and silently watched as the giant sword faded away.
Chapter 356: Pangu vs Tong - 356
Pangu watched silently as the space around them moved at incredible speeds. He could not even begin to comprehend the speed that they were traveling at.
Zhou Fan was at the peak of the true god realm, and there was no place in a galaxy cluster that he could not reach in a day if he moved at his full speed.
As they flew on the giant sword, Feng Liu and Lu Zhong began to ask Pangu questions about his life.
He told stories of how he grew up, how his cultivation was reset, how he found a mysterious trial, how he reached the peak of the galaxy, and so on.
The children were enthralled by his story and silently listened until they were back at the cosmic sect.
Pangu looked at the cosmic sect with interest and a little bit of awe. The giant sword entered the inner portion of the sect and landed on the same platform as usual.
Ying Xiong and Tong were there waiting. When Pangu saw Ying Xiong and Tong, excitement filled his eyes.
"Let's fight." He said to both of them.
"You two can go ahead." Ying Xiong said as he gestured for Tong to go.
The two flew far away to the other side of the galaxy for their fight. Only then did the children step off of the sword and walk onto the platform.
"Teacher Ying Xiong, that was fun. Let us do it again sometime." Feng Liu said.
"Perhaps. That will depend on Zhou Fan." Ying Xiong said.
Feng Liu and Lu Zhong turned to Zhou Fan with excitement in their eyes, and Zhou Fan nodded a little bit.
"We will, but only after you all get stronger." Zhou Fan said.
There were not many places that he could take them. The Heaven galaxy was without a doubt one of the best.
The children began to talk a lot, but both Zhou Fan and Ying Xiong were paying attention to the battle on the other side of the galaxy that was taking place.
Tong was controlling the debris of multiple planets, but Pangu was chopping through every defense that Tong was putting up.
They seemed to be at a stalemate, until Tong used his divine physique and his power doubled.
When Pangu sensed his increased power, a horrendous amount of fiend Qi burst out of his body, and the battle was taken to an entirely different level.
After a few minutes, both Tong and Pangu were getting tired due to the high intensity of their battle.
They both began to prepare a final attack. Tong used all of the earth under his control and condensed it into a giant spear.
Pangu raised his axe high and coated it with nearly all of his Qi. His body then expanded until it was 20 times bigger than a planet.
"Skybreaker." He shouted as his axe fell. At the same time, the spear of earth attacked.
Pangu's skybreaker quickly broke through Tong's earth spear and sent him coughing up blood.
Ying Xiong shook his head and paid attention to the children again. Zhou Fan did the same. He was not surprised by Pangu's victory.
"Alright. You two have had enough fun. It's time to begin training again." Ying Xiong said as he took the children away.
They protested, but in the end were forced to begin training again.
Zhou Fan looked at Hei Ren.
"It's also time for you to train again." Zhou Fan said.
"It's about time. I've been waiting." Hei Ren said as he nodded.
Zhou Fan felt satisfied with his disciple and took him back to the mountain. Within the courtyard, Zhou Fan began to instruct him on cultivation.
Almost a year later, Hei Ren entered the peak of the foundation establishment realm. Pangu had come to visit once, but upon seeing Zhou Fan with his disciple, had left.
Half a year later, Hei Ren entered the core formation realm.
Then began another half a year of harsh training. Not a second passed by where Hei Ren had a break.
Despite being a core formation cultivator, he was in a near constant state of exhaustion.
However, the results proved that everything was worth it. Hei Ren was incredibly strong for a core formation realm cultivator.
2 years after bringing back Pangu, Zhou Fan's doors were smashed open and two children ran in, nearly crying.
"Uncle Zhou Fan, I thought we were going to stay there forever. Who in the world would make us cultivate for so long." Feng Liu said with tears.
"Please Uncle, punish Ying Xiong, this is unforgivable." Lu Zhong added.
"It's okay. You guys did not suffer alone, Hei Ren also went through training for two years straight." Zhou Fan said as he tried to calm them down.
"How is that the same, he got to be here on this nice mountain with Uncle Zhou Fan, we had to stay in a bland school room with a couple of old farts." Lu Zhong cried.
"I know. I know. Trust me, you won't regret it in the future." Zhou Fan said.
He truly did not understand why they were complaining. His greatest urge was to lock himself in a room and cultivate until he could not cultivate any more, but he could not.
He could only chalk it up to them being children.
"Why don't you guys spar?" Zhou Fan suggested.
It would be a 2v1 against Hei Ren.
Of course, the outcome was predetermined. Hei Ren beat both of them up with ease, although he did not actually harm them.
Zhou Fan had hoped that it would inspire them to cultivate harder, but the two pitiful children became even more upset.
Eventually, Zhou Fan had to promise to take them somewhere in order to calm them down.
He had never imagined such whiny cultivators. He looked pitifully at Ying Xiong before taking all 3 children away.
Over a week, they stayed in the Zhou Galaxy on one of the planets.
The children enjoyed themselves and were soon willing to return to the cosmic sect.
