Chapter 373: Complaints and Suggestions - 373
Three people flew towards Zhou Fan. One held a spear and seemed like a guard, while the other two seemed younger and looked like students.
"Halt. Who are you to enter the inner area of the cosmic sect?" The man who looked like a guard asked.
"Zhou Fan." Zhou Fan said.
The guard did not seem to recognize the name, but the two people behind him certainly did.
One put a hand on the guard's shoulder to stop him from speaking further, while the other bowed to Zhou Fan.
"Our apologies for not recognizing you, Sir origin god." The student said.
Zhou Fan looked at him with confusion.
"Origin god? Do you have the right person?" Zhou Fan asked.
"Of course. Zhou Fan, the origin god, the first cultivator. Now that I take a closer glance, it is obvious." The student said. "I'll go get the sect master."
Zhou Fan waited. He assumed that the origin god was a title given to him. He just did not know who would give it to him.
Soon, Ying Xiong arrived in front of Zhou Fan.
"The origin god, huh." Zhou Fan said.
"Lu Zhong and Feng Liu decided to give you that title. There is also a statue of you. Your disciple Hei Ren created it." Ying Xiong said.
"Whatever." Zhou Fan said as he began flying towards the center of the Cosmic Sect. "Let me see the statue."
Ying Xiong nodded and brought Zhou Fan towards a large building. It was a temple.
As he entered through two large doors, he saw a marble floor and white walls. There was gold everywhere, lining everything within the temple.
Far ahead was a statue of Zhou Fan made out of stone. He had to admit, it looked just like him.
Still, he was dumbfounded by the design of the temple itself. He did not even consider that Lu Zhong and Feng Liu would do such a thing. He did not know how to feel, so he decided to just ignore it.
"What is that plant wrapped around you?" Ying Xiong finally asked after staring at Leaf for an entire minute.
"His name is Leaf. You can consider him my disciple, though he seems to treat me like a father." Zhou Fan said.
Ying Xiong was confused, but like Zhou Fan had with the temple, he decided to ignore it.
"Call Hei Ren over." Zhou Fan said.
Ying Xiong nodded and sent a message to Hei Ren. In just a second, Hei Ren appeared in front of Zhou Fan and knelt.
"Hello master." Hei Ren said.
"It's good to see you again. This is your junior brother." Zhou Fan said as he pointed to one of Leaf's branches.
Hei Ren looked stunned and confused as Leaf waved at him.
"Um. Hi." Hei Ren said.
"Anyways." Zhou Fan clapped his hands. "I have a request."
"What do you need, master?" Hei Ren asked.
"Look at me closely." Zhou Fan said.
Hei Ren lifted his head and did so.
"Remake the statue, but add Leaf." Zhou Fan said seriously.
Once again, Hei Ren was stunned.
"Alright." He said as he left the temple.
"And make him colored!" Zhou Fan shouted.
His statue was made out of gray stone and did not have any color, so he made sure to tell Hei Ren that Leaf should have color.
Soon, Hei Ren returned and replaced the statue in the temple.
Zhou Fan looked the same, but there was a brown and green sapling wrapped around his body, just how Leaf was.
Zhou Fan nodded, the statue was much better than before.
"Alright, I did not come here to play around. Tell all of the sect's disciples, and even everyone in the outer area, to gather." Zhou Fan said before he disappeared.
He floated in space, waiting for everyone to gather. Soon, there were around 20,000 people in front of him, the entirety of the cosmic sect.
Few were disciples. Many were wearing some suits that allowed them to be in space without being in the void traversing realm. Some were descendants of disciples and some were family members descended from the group once brought with the shipment of disciples from long ago.
With the new system in place, families would no longer be brought, but the damage had already been done, causing many ordinary cultivators to live in the cosmic sect.
As Zhou Fan surveyed the people, it was clear that they all recognized him as the origin god.
There was probably more than just a single temple.
"Alright. I have a serious request for all of you." Zhou Fan said as a wooden box appeared in front of him. Painted on its side was the phrase, "Complaints and suggestions".
Zhou Fan waved his hand, and a large amount of paper appeared around everyone.
"If anyone has any complaints or suggestions, or even something that could be refined, about cultivation or the universal structure, please write it down and put it in this box." Zhou Fan said.
Everyone present was stunned, including Ying Xiong and the disciples of the sect.
"I will leave boxes around the cosmic sect. At any time that an idea occurs to you, please write it down and put it in a box. Thank You." Zhou Fan said as he disappeared, leaving a box floating in his place.
Zhou Fan did not believe that he alone could perfectly design cultivation and the universe. He was not that creative. It would be interesting to see what others thought about the matter.
He did not concern himself with what happened around the cosmic sect for the next year or so. He spent his time relaxing on his mountain and watching Leaf grow.
It seemed that, no matter how much time passed, Leaf never grew or increased its cultivation.
It would take a very long time for changes to occur within Leaf, especially due to his divine physique.
Finally, after around 5 years passed, Zhou Fan collected all the papers within the boxes. He piled them into a small mountain in his yard and began to read them.
Chapter 374: The Sage Realm - 374
Zhou Fan grabbed the first piece of paper and read it.
"I want my son to love me again."
Zhou Fan looked at the letter, stunned for a moment, before tossing it away.
"I want Daisy to fall in love with me."
Zhou Fan tossed the piece of paper away again.
"I want to find my lost necklace."
Zhou Fan threw the paper away.
'I may not have been clear enough.' He thought to himself. Still, he did not stop reading the papers, hoping to find a few good ones.
"I think it would be cool if cultivation was easier."
Zhou Fan was relieved to finally find an ok piece of paper, but he did not plan on putting it into effect.
After 10 more useless papers, Zhou Fan pulled out another one related to cultivation.
"I would like it if there were more people to kill. There seems to be no enemies anymore."
'Probably because you're living in the cosmic sect.' Zhou Fan thought before tossing the paper away.
Many more useless papers later, another one on the topic of cultivation was found.
"I wish there were ways to get talent without being born with it."
This one interested Zhou Fan. He felt that it had some merit. After all, there was essentially no way for someone without talent to reach a high cultivation realm. That was why the cosmic sect had all of the inner world cultivators in the universe. Talent was the basis for reaching such a realm.
Zhou Fan noted the last paper down and continued.
None of the remaining papers gave too many good ideas. Around 95% of them were unrelated to cultivation at all.
Zhou Fan waved his hand and collected the suggestions boxes. They would not be of much further use within the cosmic sect.
It was about time for him to continue cultivating. With Leaf around him, he said goodbye to the people within the cosmic sect.
Soon, he was far away from the Zhou supercluster, floating in the endless dark space.
He put Leaf in the sword's mini-world, but made sure that he could enter and leave any time he wanted.
Luckily, Leaf was still a plant. The passing of time did not affect him that much.
Zhou Fan crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.
500 billion years later, Qi pulsed out of his body in waves. Its power was enough to completely obliterate space, but for some reason, it did not.
Zhou Fan opened his eyes. He had entered "the sage realm". Besides the increase in everything that naturally came with a breakthrough, there was only one new thing.
He called it, one with the universe. Now, unless he had the intention of doing so, his attacks, no matter how strong, would not break space.
It was a very useful ability, and he was glad that it existed.
Along with the excitement of having such an ability, he was also excited by the possibilities that such an ability would add when used with arrays.
He immediately began to practice the 5 main arts to the 13th rank. Each took 20 billion years, for a total of 100 billion years.
The first thing that Zhou Fan did when he finished his seclusion was to check on Leaf. When he looked inside the mini-world, he saw Leaf happily swaying while breathing Qi. He was in the nascent soul realm.
Zhou Fan was astonished to see just how slow his growth was. It was actually terrifying. He would be less shocked if someone cultivated to the inner world realm in 1000 years than he was right now.
Zhou Fan shook his head and sobered up from his shock. He looked around, and the plants near Leaf were also swaying, following his movements. Most of them did not have intelligence, but it seemed that Leaf still managed to affect them.
Zhou Fan walked up to Leaf, who happily greeted him and wrapped around him.
Zhou Fan played with Leaf. He realized that Leaf cultivating slowly may not be a bad thing. It likely signified that Leaf's lifespan would be horrifyingly long. After all, he had lived for 600 billion years in the nascent soul realm.
That was as shocking to Zhou Fan as the fact that he was only in the nascent soul realm.
Zhou Fan left the mini-world with Leaf wrapped around him.
He planned on going to the cosmic sect, but he first wanted to expand his mortal dao. He felt that it could increase in size, and not just slightly.
From the large areas that his mortal dao covered, it began to expand. It expanded fast, and went far without any sign of slowing down.
Zhou Fan watched in amazement as the entire Zhou filament was covered. It was a level of growth he did not expect, not even for a second.
Covering all 5000 large areas in the filament was one thing, but all the space between them was incomprehensible.
It was not as if the large areas were next to each other, or even near each other. The difference between the space between the large areas and the large areas was more than a ratio of 1000 to 1.
While he was shocked, Zhou Fan did not stay shocked for too long. He did not even know what to do with so much space.
Soon, he and Leaf arrived at the cosmic sect. Just as he arrived, Ying Xiong met him. It seemed that he had been waiting for him.
"I am ready to make a breakthrough." Ying Xiong said.
"To the god realm?" Zhou Fan asked.
"Yes." Ying Xiong replied.
"I was waiting for you so that I could avoid any possible complications in my breakthrough. Now that you are here, I can finally start." Ying Xiong explained.
"Sure, I don't mind that, but let me do something first." Zhou Fan said as he turned to leave.
With the new abilities of 13th rank arrays, he needed to change something.
Firstly, he reverted all the space that he had ever strengthened to its natural state. Every cultivator at the space shattering realm and above felt the change, but it vanished quickly.
Zhou Fan had affected the entire Zhou supercluster with a 13th rank array that incorporated the special ability of the sage realm, "One with the universe", as well as the power of his mortal dao.
