Supreme Emptiness

Qian Lan Fairy said irritably, "Speak!"

"Could I really be so lacking in self-control?"

Jiang Fan said, "Alright, I found it back when I was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, at the bottom of a cliff."

Ah?

Acquired during the Foundation Establishment Realm?

And it was found!

The cliché story of discovering a peerless treasure after falling off a cliff actually happening to someone close is harder to bear than being killed!

Qian Lan Fairy clenched her fist and pounded against her chest to alleviate the discomfort.

"You lucky little thing!"

She gritted her teeth and said, "Hand it over!"

"I'll fill it up for you."

Jiang Fan handed the ring to her, and she immediately channeled the vigorous power of her second-stage Nascent Soul.

The pale ring visibly turned green quickly.

Soon, it transformed into a deep green.

Much greener than when it was first obtained.

At this moment, Qian Lan Fairy released her hand, her face slightly pale.

Looking as if she'd overexerted her Nascent Soul Power.

"Let me do it."

Yun Huo took over and continued to infuse power.

The deep green color eventually turned to dark green and then stopped.

But this wasn't the ring's limit; it's that Yun Huo's Nascent Soul Power was also exhausted.

Qian Lan Fairy, her lips pale, looked astonished and asked, "How much energy can this ring actually absorb?"

"Why do I feel like what we infused is less than one-tenth of its capacity?"

Jiang Fan was also quite surprised.

But on second thought, this item was considered a Lifebound Magical Treasure by a pair of late-stage Nascent Soul partners.

It's not something the power of two second-stage Nascent Souls could fill.

Nonetheless, having this much energy is already quite satisfying.

"Thank you, both seniors."

Qian Lan Fairy gave Jiang Fan a slight side-eye and took something from her bosom to toss at him:

"Thank me one less time for annoying me."

"Senior Brother, let's go."

Yun Huo cupped his hands to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master and said, "I look forward to the relocation of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to Taicang State!"

"Farewell."

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master watched them depart.

Jiang Fan, meanwhile, caught the item Qian Lan Fairy tossed over and looked at it in his hand.

It was a jade pendant engraved with her name.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master smiled slightly and said:

"With this jade pendant, when you reach Taicang State, you can go find her in the Fire Worship Sect."

"It seems my Senior Sister is quite fond of you."

"She doesn't usually like to bother with people's troubles."

Jiang Fan, realizing it was something beneficial, quickly put it away and laughed:

"It's not for nothing that I called out Pavilion Master's Wife."

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master paused and, with feigned annoyance, said, "Are you teasing me too?"

After a brief moment.

He asked, "Just now, you asked my Senior Brother and Senior Sister to stay to keep order."

"Have you encountered trouble?"

Jiang Fan thought for a moment.

He sincerely cupped his hands in a bow, with a hint of bitterness, and said, "I've asked two people already, but neither could help."

"Today, I'm left with no choice but to ask you, Pavilion Master."

It was the first time the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master saw Jiang Fan earnestly seeking help.

So he replied seriously, "Tell me."

"I will treat your matter as my own."

Jiang Fan spoke frankly, "Concubine Yunxia and Sea Charm Demon King are about to undergo tribulations, aiming for the Demon Emperor Realm."

"I would like to request the Pavilion Master to protect them."

Hmm?

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master pondered deeply.

He viewed Jiang Fan suspiciously, "Protecting the Demon Race? Allowing them to gain two more Demon Emperors?"

"Do I even need to explain the consequences?"

The Sky Demon Emperor is already ambitious and loves to wage war.

If they gain two more Demon Emperors, that would be unbearable?

They might launch an expedition south immediately.

"Give me a reason to protect them."

He furrowed his brow and said.

Jiang Fan was not someone who would make such an irrational request.

With no way to conceal it any longer, Jiang Fan, slightly embarrassed, said, "I don't fear the Pavilion Master laughing at me."

"Concubine Yunxia is my woman."

Uh!

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master's eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape!

When he met Ayushura King in the Underworld, he wasn't this shocked.

At that moment, Jiang Fan's simple statement left his mind thundering.

Concubine Yunxia, isn't she the most favored among the thirty-six concubines of the Demon Emperor?

Known as Immortal Beauty!

How... how did Jiang Fan manage to pluck that peach?

"You..." The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master staggered, deeply shocked.

"You really have guts!"

"Daring to mess with the Demon Emperor's woman and even succeeding!"

Jiang Fan awkwardly said, "The Demon Emperor brought it upon himself, failing to win Concubine Yunxia's heart."

"Later, he even forced Concubine Yunxia to kill me, plus..."

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master waved his hand to stop him: "No need to say more."

"I don't want to hear your process."

He took a deep breath, his eyes gradually lighting up.

"Initially, I was worried that after the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's relocation, the Sky Demon Emperor might covet the human clan's territory."

"Now, however, it's a once-and-for-all opportunity to eliminate a major threat."

"If one of the two can break through to the Demon Emperor, given the Sky Demon Emperor's actions over the years, I'm afraid the entire Demon Race would turn to the new Demon Emperor, and he would lose his dominion over the Demon Race."

That being said,

going or not, it was obvious.

This was an enormous opportunity; even if Jiang Fan didn't ask him, he would go.

"When is it?"

Jiang Fan calculated with his fingers and said, "In two days, it's time for the tribulation."

"On that day, it's also when the Demon Emperor forces a demon girl to marry him."

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master rubbed his hands together and laughed,

"Haha, previously, the Demon Emperor waged war and caused heavy casualties to my human clan."

"Courtesy calls for reciprocity!"

"On his wedding day, how can I not send a congratulatory gift?"

"Prepare well, in two days, let's sit in at the Demon Emperor Court!"

Jiang Fan felt relieved!

He alone was reluctant to face the Demon Emperor; it was very likely he wouldn't be able to protect the two women and would be deeply entangled himself.

Now with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master assisting, his confidence soared!

However,

he himself also needed to quickly enhance his strength.

By that time, there was bound to be a fierce battle.

After bidding the Pavilion Master goodbye.

Jiang Fan planned to find a place to go into seclusion for a day.

After this trip to the Underworld, his cultivation at the Ninth Layer of Core Formation was stabilized.

Next, he could aim for Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection.

And he had already prepared the resources needed!

Thousand-year-old Clam Meat.

He had always been reluctant to use it, feeling it was a waste to use during the early stage of Core Formation.

But between the Ninth Layer and Perfection, it was the hardest stage to cross.

Otherwise, the Nine-Sect and Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion wouldn't have so many at the Ninth Layer of Core Formation, but Perfection was few.

The clam meat was most suitable now!

Just as he was about to head to the cultivation hall.

He discovered Wu Manyue squatting in the square selling things.

Many disciples like her were there.

With the impending dissolution of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, many disciples were seeking new paths.

Selling their things to exchange for what they needed was only natural.

Jiang Fan walked up to Wu Manyue and found on her stall even some scraped-off wall dust.

This woman, how thoroughly had she scoured that secret space?

Even brought the wall dust.

"Everyone's selling things, and you're selling junk?"

Said Jiang Fan with a tone of irritation.

Wu Manyue looked up to find it was Jiang Fan, with a deep resentment, she said sardonically, "Yes!"

"What choice do I have?"

"Went on a mission with someone, used up all my treasures, but the merit all went to the other person."

"Without selling junk, I'd be living on the northwest wind."

Jiang Fan chuckled awkwardly; last time, everyone had suffered heavy losses.

But Jiang Fan got ten thousand merit as compensation, which made up for it.

"Cough, cough, sell me some treasures, I'll help your business."

"There are still three Dragon Heart Blood Lotus Seeds left, take them."

Wu Manyue's eyes lit up, and she instantly warmed up: "Oh, it's still Junior Brother Jiang who cares for me."

She immediately took out some worthless things and laid them in front of Jiang Fan.

"All top-level treasures, take your pick."

Jiang Fan's forehead veins bulged.

Exploiting acquaintances?

He casually glanced, and they were all junk, including a worm-eaten ragged painting.

How could she have the nerve to bring this out?

Who knew.

The Ghost Soul Crystal in his arms suddenly trembled in voice: "This woman is quite bold!"

"Dare to take out that painting?"

"It depicts the ruthless Ancient Saint who once suppressed the hell creatures invading Central Earth's Underworld."
