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.
