Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: Heaven Bless All Living Beings

Dong!

All the monks present felt as if their hearts were being struck by drums.

The formation of the Three Gods and One Bodhisattva was the most powerful combination in Taicang State.

Defeated?

What exactly did they encounter?

Unless it was thousands of ancient giants, they wouldn’t have been injured.

Master Puguang worriedly asked, "Is the Bodhisattva injured?"

"I’m fine," the Bodhisattva replied, slightly weak.

Master Puguang slightly eased his heart and asked, "How are the other three Venerables?"

The Bodhisattva was silent for a moment and said:

"The Evil Crow Venerable is uninjured, but he lost the Divinity Transformation Yin Corpse."

The high monks were shocked.

The Evil Crow Venerable had hidden a Yin Corpse of the Divinity Transformation Realm?

If not for this great calamity, he probably wouldn’t have used it.

"The Heart Demon Venerable’s injuries have worsened, his combat ability severely diminished, unable to fight for three months."

Everyone’s hearts sank once more.

Compared to other states, the already fragile Taicang State’s strength dropped another notch.

However, the real reason for their changed expressions was the situation with the True Word Venerable.

"The True Word Venerable’s Divine Ring is damaged, life and death unknown."

What?

The great defeat mentioned by the Bodhisattva was actually so severe?

One lightly injured, one lost Divine Weapon, one severely injured, and one’s life and death unknown?

In three months, when the ancient giants descend, what can they rely on to block them?

Master Puguang unconsciously quickened the speed of rotating the Buddha Beads in his hand, saying:

"Bodhisattva, why did the True Word Venerable end up like this?"

The Bodhisattva’s voice was sorrowful: "Her threat was too great, attracting the Five-star Giant King to personally take action against her."

The entire audience fell into dead silence.

No wonder the Bodhisattva and others returned greatly defeated.

They actually encountered the Giant King, and a Five-star existence at that!

The Giant King is equivalent to the Venerables and Bodhisattvas of Taicang State.

Five-star is equivalent to entering the realm of the Heavenly Person Five Declines Great Venerate!

The four of them, except for the Evil Crow Venerable who has entered the First Decline.

The other three haven’t even initiated the decline.

How could they be a match for a Five-star Giant King?

"We were able to return because the True Word Venerable detonated the Phoenix Feather Nine Flames Fan, blocking the Five-star Giant King."

"But she herself, her life and death is unknown."

The Bodhisattva said slowly.

The monks were all silent, the news brought back by the Bodhisattva was so shocking that it drove them to despair.

The Dharma Seal Vajra softly asked, "Bodhisattva, in three months, what are we to do?"

The great hall remained silent for a long time.

Then a long sigh was heard:

"May Heaven protect all living beings!"

The Dharma Seal Vajra’s gaze shook slightly.

It meant that even the Bodhisattva found it impossible to turn the tide.

All beings, fend for themselves.

Two days later.

At the tail of the Qingli Mountain Range.

On an inconspicuous mountain, several palaces that had been built for several years stood on the mountain peak.

The Slave Heart Demon Emperor looked at the blank gate tower and said, "Pavilion Master, why not inscribe the three characters ’Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’?"

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master stood with his hands behind his back, smiling: "Leave it for Jiang Fan."

"He desires to fulfill the legacy of his ancestors; the name of the New Tianji Pavilion should be inscribed by him."

Yue Mingzhu also came over, gazing around, her eyes flickering with a layer of obscure seven-colored light.

She said in slight surprise: "The Pavilion Master really chose the location well."

"Although this place is the end of the mountain range, with sparse Spiritual Energy."

"It hides spiritual objects of fortune, and if I’m not mistaken, there should be a crystal mine underground."

Her Emperor’s Gaze Technique had been cultivated to a certain extent, enough to discern the flow of worldly fortune.

She could instantly perceive the extraordinariness of this place.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master smiled and said: "Sect Master Yu didn’t mind that this place was Qingli Mountain, I am grateful."

Fairy Yun Shang gracefully approached in flowing white garments, saying: "Qingli Mountain is the best choice, there’s nothing inappropriate."

"Though Taicang State is vast, the famous mountains and rivers, spiritual veins, and blessed lands have long been occupied."

"The Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple may be the protector of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but how can it allow others to rest beside it? It’s also not suitable to build around the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple."

"Only Qingli Mountain, full of loose cultivators, is the unerring choice for foreign forces to establish roots."

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master nodded in agreement: "Fairy Yun Shang speaks the truth."

The first step for the New Tianji Pavilion is survival.

The second step is development.

Their foundation is too thin, allowing no margin for error.

They must proceed cautiously, gradually growing stronger.

Liu Qingxian came over full of expectation, saying: "Everything is ready, just waiting for Jiang Fan to return."

At this moment.

A crowd of martial artists, all wearing different attire, arrived, their ages varied.

They were primarily at the Eighth and Ninth Layers of Core Formation.

The numbers were considerable, totaling over a hundred.

They were almost all the powerful loose cultivators of Qingli Mountain.

With such an assembly, even the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master dared not be neglectful, showing a hint of caution, he asked: "What is your intention?"

Leading them was a left-path Nascent Soul emitting a Nascent Soul Aura.

He seemed to be a loose cultivator who had previously tried to transcend tribulation but failed.

His sharp gaze swept over the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, Fairy Yun Shang, and the Slave Heart Demon Queen, his pupils slightly shrank.

He smiled and said: "I am Wang Yuandao, paying respects to the three esteemed seniors."

"We heard that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is being established here, and came to congratulate you."

Simply to congratulate?

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master nodded slightly: "The day of founding the sect is yet to come, but still, thank you."

Wang Yuandao cupped his hands and said: "Moreover, I represent the loose cultivators of Qingli Mountain, with an impertinent request."

"That is, we hope the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion could accept us, allowing us to become members of the pavilion."

Hmm?

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master frowned.

Even though he anticipated their purposeful arrival.

He had not expected them to be so direct.

Fairy Yun Shang transmitted a message: "Pavilion Master, you cannot accept them."

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master lightly nodded, transmitting a message: "Understood."

"We are outsiders, they are local loose cultivators."

"If they swarm into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, it would be like cuckoos occupying a nest, and many things would no longer be under our control."

"Moreover, they would rapidly deplete the resources brought by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

The last point was the purpose of their group approach.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master politely refused, saying: "Everyone, the founding and recruitment day is in three days."

"By then, if you wish to join the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, through our selection process, those who qualify can be admitted."

"For now, please return first."

Wang Yuandao smiled, took out a Jade Scroll, and said:

"Three esteemed seniors, newly arrived, may not know the rules of Qingli Mountain."

"Anyone establishing a sect in Qingli Mountain must prioritize the local loose cultivators."

"This is a Jade Letter from Sanqing Mountain, please have a look."

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master’s expression slightly tensed.

Sanqing Mountain?

Qingli Mountain is on the border of the Sanqing Mountain, and not under Sanqing Mountain’s jurisdiction.

How can they dictate Qingli Mountain?

Soon, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master understood.

Sanqing Mountain had a deep reason for such an arrangement.

A scattered Qingli Mountain poses no threat to Sanqing Mountain.

But a unified one would.

Therefore, they didn’t want a sect appearing in Qingli Mountain.

Thus, they endorsed the local loose cultivators to make it difficult for those coming here to establish a sect.

This was also the reason why Qingli Mountain never had a sect.

Fairy Yun Shang and the Slave Heart Demon Queen also frowned slightly.

They vaguely sensed the underlying issues.

Accepting them would bankrupt the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Not accepting would give Sanqing Mountain an excuse to intervene.

At that time, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had yet to begin development but would already face one of the seven great sects, Sanqing Mountain.

This matter is really difficult to handle!

Wang Yuandao asked confidently, "Are you planning to defy Sanqing Mountain’s orders?"

Bang!

Just at that moment!

A Thunderbolt struck hard in front of Wang Yuandao.

The powerful aftermath of the Thunderbolt knocked down Wang Yuandao and the aggressive loose cultivators behind him.

And within the Thunderbolt, Jiang Fan’s figure emerged.

He grabbed the Jade Letter from Sanqing Mountain, easily crushed it with his hand, saying:

"Sanqing Mountain has no authority over my Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!"
