Supreme Emptiness

Xu Zhengyan said excitedly, "Jiang Fan! Give it your all!"

After going through so much, he had come to fully trust Jiang Fan.

He couldn't feel at ease leaving his daughter with anyone else.

Only in entrusting her to Jiang Fan did he feel completely reassured.

So if Jiang Fan could join the Green Cloud Sect, that would be the best.

Xu Youran was also so nervous that she gripped the hem of her skirt, even more anxious than when she had her own Spirit Root tested.

Jiang Fan took a deep breath.

He knew that the moment to decide his fate had come. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

If he couldn't enter the Green Cloud Sect, it would be very difficult for him to have a great future in this life.

Moreover, he wouldn't be able to move forward together with Xu Youran.

Therefore, he held back nothing and publicly unleashed the immense spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

Li Qingfeng sensed it with an expressionless face.

In his heart, he already had a draft of how to phrase it to dispel Jiang Fan's notion of entering the Green Cloud Sect.

At the same time, he wanted to make it less upsetting for Xu Youran so that she would willingly follow him back to the Green Cloud Sect.

Suddenly!

A surge of spiritual power from the Foundation Establishment Realm made his heart jump.

Sensing the source of the spiritual power, he couldn't help but stand up in surprise, "Foundation Establishment Third Layer?"

A person without a Spirit Root could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Third Layer?

He couldn't help but suspect that the disc might be broken and had detected the wrong aptitude.

Such a young Foundation Establishment Third Layer would be considered a prodigy even in the Green Cloud Sect!

He took out a new disc and eagerly said, "Please retest your Spirit Root."

Jiang Fan nodded and also expectedly tested again.

But the result was still "No Spirit Root".

Li Qingfeng stared at those three words in a daze for a long while, unable to understand.

How did Jiang Fan break through to such a high realm?

Could it be one of those legendary extremely powerful demonic pills or methods that deplete potential?

After much thought, that seemed to be the only possibility.

Such a life-sacrificing crooked path had very serious drawbacks.

He immediately dismissed any notion of accepting Jiang Fan.

But Xu Youran pleaded, "Master, Jiang Fan's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. If he can't go to the Green Cloud Sect, then I won't go either."

Li Qingfeng felt helpless.

After much deliberation, he proposed a compromise, "How about this? I'll give Jiang Fan another chance."

"Before leaving, I'll have my disciple Zhong Qizhen assess his strength."

"If he can withstand ten moves from Zhong Qizhen, then I will acknowledge his ability to enter the Green Cloud Sect. What do you think?"

Xu Youran couldn't help but turn pale.

Zhong Qizhen was a longtime disciple under Li Qingfeng.

His cultivation had reached the Fourth Layer of the Foundation Establishment.

The cultivation techniques he practiced were far superior to those at Lonely Boat City of the Yellow Level Medium rank.

Jiang Fan's realm was one level lower, and his cultivation techniques were several levels behind.

Even enduring three moves would be extremely difficult, let alone ten moves.

Li Qingfeng was clearly not willing to let Jiang Fan enter the Green Cloud Sect.

Jiang Fan, however, was delighted.

No matter how difficult it was, at least it was a rare opportunity.

He quickly wrote, "I accept the challenge."

Li Qingfeng nodded with a smile, "Good! If you can't pass, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

"Also, I hope you'll advise Xu Youran not to delay her lifelong cultivation due to a moment of sentiment."

Jiang Fan nodded in agreement, writing, "Agreed!"

After Li Qingfeng left with a smile, searching for Nine-grade Spiritual Root.

Xu Youran was anxious and kept pacing, "Fan, how could you agree?"

"Zhong Qizhen's cultivation is so deep. How can you withstand his ten moves easily?"

Jiang Fan thought about the High Palm Technique "Wandering Dragon Palm" he hadn't yet had time to cultivate, confidence flashed in his eyes.

"Give me three days, and I will have confidence to battle him."

What he said was a battle.

Not just enduring ten moves.

How could Xu Youran believe it?

She sighed, "Then try to build a good relationship with Zhong Qizhen. Hopefully, he will go easier on you during the assessment."

Jiang Fan agreed on the surface.

As soon as he went out, he prepared to go to the Dragon-Rising Path.

The best way to quickly cultivate a technique is through actual combat.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached the gate, he saw Zhong Qizhen, still bearing the marks of a slap on his face, looking irate.

"Why did you hide Xu Youran's matters? Making me get slapped by our master?"

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Jiang Fan looked puzzled.

He wrote, "Who held their nose in the air and wanted to drive me and my wife out without saying a word?"

"No one forced you to do that, right?"

"Got slapped, but instead of reflecting on yourself, you blame others? No wonder your master calls you stupid."

Zhong Qizhen clenched his fists in anger, shouting, "Outrageous, how dare you speak to me like that?"

Jiang Fan was fearless, "Want to fight me? Who's afraid of whom!"

Zhong Qizhen really wanted to pin him down and beat him up.

But, having just angered his master, he didn't dare to make a scene outside the Xu Family's gate.

He glared at Jiang Fan with hatred, "After my matchmaking, and I deal with my tasks, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Jiang Fan looked thoughtful.

Matchmaking?

Chen Silin recently also had to go for matchmaking. Chen Yuqiu even asked him to keep an eye on it.

So many people are matchmaking recently?

Not thinking too much, he turned and headed straight for the Dragon-Rising Path.

To avoid trouble.

He wore the mask of the No.1 Shadow Guard and rushed in, going all the way up.

When he reached the Ninth Floor.

Suddenly, he heard strange low cries near his ear.

"Jiang Fan, I'll kill you!"

"I'll carve you into pieces!"

"I'll cut you to death!"

Frightened, he quickly retreated from the Illusion Realm.

Staring closely.

He saw Xu Yining standing on the Ninth Floor with a tear-stricken face, slaughtering Chen Zhengdao's projection in the Illusion Realm.

But she kept muttering Jiang Fan's name.

"She must be insane," Jiang Fan thought, covering his forehead with black lines.

Chen Zhengdao's projection was not something easily broken.

Soon, she was defeated and thrown out.

Her eyes were red as she prepared to rush back in to continue the battle, but then she noticed someone standing beside her.

Turning her head, she saw the mask with the character "One" engraved on it.

She immediately showed a look of surprise.

Then she realized what she had just been muttering and blushed, "Did you hear everything?"

Jiang Fan's mouth twitched; he wasn't deaf.

"I won't interfere with your matters," he said casually.

Xu Yining hurriedly explained, "There's nothing between him and me, don't misunderstand."

She was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.

Being able to meet the No.1 Shadow Guard again was beyond her expectations.

But meeting in such a way was truly embarrassing.

Looking at her tear-stricken face, Jiang Fan thought deeply, "Do you want to cultivate a movement technique?"

Since obtaining that jade bead, he had explored its cultivation technique, as well as the astonishing discoveries under the statue.

He felt somewhat guilty.

These were all actually left by that master for Xu Yining.

Yet, he had taken them all.

Why not teach her a movement technique to make up for it.

Xu Yining's face turned red in an instant, "You teach me a movement technique? Really?"

Jiang Fan didn't say much. He grabbed her hand and closed his eyes.

Xu Yining's heart instantly sped up, her face turning rosy, and her red lips pressed tightly in embarrassment.

She also closed her eyes.

Both of them entered the Illusion Realm where Chen Zhengdao was.

Jiang Fan said, "I want to teach you the 'Solitary Wild Goose Shadow', it's quite challenging, you should watch and learn carefully."

He taught her hand in hand.

Xu Yining had good comprehension, and after half a day, she showed progress.

"You finish this part. I'll come back tomorrow to continue teaching you."

After saying this, he went to the Twelfth Floor to challenge.

The projections here were even stronger, of the same Foundation Establishment Third Layer, they completely overpowered Jiang Fan.

After barely over a hundred moves, he was defeated.

Of course, this was due to Jiang Fan intentionally not using the Purple Sword or his movement technique.

He only used the Wandering Dragon Palm, constantly honing his palm technique.

By dusk.

He walked back with a tired body.

Passing by the Treasure Pavilion, he saw a sign recruiting apprentice Soul Masters, and remembered an important promise he had forgotten.

He immediately went to the Chen Family.

Of course, he didn't forget to change his clothes.

Soon, at the Chen Family's backyard.

Chen Silin respectfully said, "Senior, all the apprentices we recruited that meet the criteria are here."

Jiang Fan looked at each of them one by one.

When his eyes fell on an elder with a neat and tidy appearance and a kind face, he paused slightly.

He felt that this old man looked somewhat familiar.

"What's your name?" Jiang Fan asked.

Qin Wenyuan showed a respectful look and smiled, "Reporting to the lord, my name is Huang Wenyuan."
