Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: All Laws Dispelled

Beast hide?

Jiang Fan then looked at his palm.

Just now, when he discovered that the Soul Refining Venerable was about to activate a secret treasure, in his urgency, he used the Void Fishing Rod to reel it back.

As for what it was, he still didn’t know.

Hearing it was the Sage’s engraving, he couldn’t help but be surprised:

"Senior Demon Monarch, why are the words inscribed by the Sage so powerful?"

Just now, the Soul Refining Venerable was clearly almost dying under the Ten Directions Cage, without any strength to resist.

When the stone tablet with the words "Do not kill" appeared, it directly shattered the Ten Directions Cage.

What was the reason behind this, Jiang Fan didn’t understand.

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord said solemnly, "The inscription is nothing remarkable."

"What’s terrifying is the Sage’s power that is imbued in it."

"His power made these three words become a rule."

"How can a domain defy a rule?"

Rule?

Jiang Fan looked surprised.

He curiously glanced at the beast hide in his hand, where there should also be words inscribed by the Sage.

He dared not touch these words containing rules carelessly.

Better let the Ice and Fire Demon Monarch take a look first.

Swoosh!

He tossed the beast hide over, and the Ice and Fire Demon Lord didn’t take it directly.

Instead, he raised his hand and cast a beam of ice and fire light to envelop the beast hide.

A line of words then emerged from the beast hide.

"All methods retreat."

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord showed a trace of envy on his face:

"Indeed, it’s the Sage’s engraving again."

"These four words have already become a rule, meaning even the attacks from someone in the midst of the Heavenly Human Five Declines realm aimed at you can be negated by these four words."

"The prerequisite is that you have the opportunity to use it."

"Don’t let it be snatched away like with the Soul Refining Venerable."

He fondly caressed it for a moment, but ultimately returned it to Jiang Fan.

"Kid, hide it well, don’t let other Venerates know."

"The Sage’s engraving is something that you encounter by chance, not something you can seek after. Back in the day, I wanted a Venerate to engrave words for me to help me breakthrough to the Virtuous Realm, but it was impossible to get."

"If people know you have a set of the Sage’s engravings, you won’t be able to keep it."

He truly desired this inscription in his heart.

It would be a lie to say he didn’t covet it.

However, firstly, Jiang Fan had treated him well, and secondly, given his currently damaged body, how long he could live was uncertain; forcibly taking the item might not give him the chance to use it.

Jiang Fan put it away, smiling joyfully, and stored it solemnly.

In that case, with the beast hide present, could he neutralize an attack from the Five-star Giant King?

He must carefully utilize this beast hide.

"I’m leaving."

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord quickly pursued in the direction the Soul Refining Venerable had fled.

Seeing the crisis completely resolved, Gu Xin’er slipped over, extending a small hand for credit:

"Thanks to my brilliant intelligence, timely reaction, harmonious cooperation, and unparalleled wisdom, I deciphered your plan and cooperated with you on the surprise attack."

"You should reward me, right?"

Jiang Fan chuckled; it was indeed thanks to Gu Xin’er just now.

Otherwise, it might not have been easy to injure the Soul Refining Venerable.

"Come with me!"

He went to an unoccupied grand hall and drew out the Purple Sword to slash through the air repeatedly.

He dug two pools into the hall floor.

Then poured the Nine-colored Spiritual Liquid into the two pools.

"What is this?"

Gu Xin’er’s eyes sparkled brightly.

She could sense the extraordinariness of the spiritual liquid, which seemed to have unusual benefits for cultivation and the physique.

Jiang Fan remained composed and said, "A gift from nature."

"It can enhance cultivation and beautify the complexion."

"I will ask the Pavilion Master to establish a wall and a barrier around the two spirit ponds to separate them."

"The left side for men, the right side for women."

"This Spirit Pond will be a reward only for those who have made meritorious contributions to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

"And you, Gu Xin’er, will be the first to use the Spirit Pond!"

Gu Xin’er was extremely satisfied upon hearing that she could beautify her complexion and that she was the first one.

"Wahaha, I’ll first test it for the senior and junior sisters of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

Saying this, she went to unbutton her clothes, ready to take a dip.

Jiang Fan stood there for a moment, then said, "Aren’t you worried about me?"

Gu Xin’er instinctively said, "You’ve already touched..."

She then realized that she was referring to her time posing as Vice Building Owner Gu.

Frightened, she quickly corrected herself, "Oh oh, I mean, aren’t you leaving?"

"Do you want to touch me?"

Jiang Fan almost burst out laughing.

She was still trying to cover her identity.

But her conspicuous curves had already betrayed her.

However, looking at her significant change, he couldn’t help but worry.

"Isn’t it reckless to act like this?"

As he turned, he saw Bai Xin standing at the grand hall entrance, observing the two spirit ponds.

"Bai Qianhu, you can try it too."

Bai Xin shook her head, "Another day."

"Since you’ve returned safely, I’ll head back."

She took out a Sky Ascending Pill from her space storage device and handed it to Jiang Fan.

"What’s this for?" Jiang Fan asked, puzzled.

Bai Xin replied, "Basic reward for reconnaissance tasks."

"Everyone who returns alive gets one."

Jiang Fan slapped his forehead, remembering that there were task rewards for going to the Heavenly Realm for reconnaissance.

First place was a top-grade spirit sword.

With three swords combined, the "Dayan Sword Array" could be deployed.

Invincible in the Nascent Soul Realm!

His eyes lit up eagerly: "Does the first place count as mine?"

Bai Xin, of course, understood what Jiang Fan cared about.

"Naturally."

"However, Taicang State doesn’t have a ready top-grade spirit sword for you."

The Great Wine Sacrifice invited a friend from the Divine Weapon State to personally forge it for you."

"It’s expected to take a month."

A month?

Jiang Fan frowned; the red-faced elder from the Fire Worship Sect helped the True Word Venerable forge the top-grade spiritual artifact Phoenix Feather Nine Flames Fan, and it only took five days.

And now it takes a month to forge a top-grade spiritual artifact?

Maybe the person invited by the Great Wine Sacrifice didn’t have as much skill as the red-faced elder.

Nevertheless, he understood.

Swords are always popular among spiritual artifacts, with top-grade ones always in demand by venerates.

You can’t expect the Great Wine Sacrifice to just have unclaimed spirit swords lying around."

He was finally relieved about the sword.

It would take a month to be ready, though.

Jiang Fan frowned at the thought; the red-faced elder from the Fire Worship Sect, assisting the True Word Venerable in forging a top-grade spiritual artifact Phoenix Feather Nine Flames Fan, managed it so much faster.

Nevertheless, he understood.

Such swords are always in demand, and top-grade ones are always wielded by Venerates.

They are not something that the Great Wine Sacrifice can grant freely, unless they have an unclaimed spirit sword.

The members of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion also approached after confirming the area was safe.

The battle between Venerates was not something they could meddle in.

Jiang Fan, calculating the time, realized there was less than half a day left until the opening of the Heavenly Mountain Battlefield.

Only those in the Nascent Soul could qualify for the battle.

So Jiang Fan pulled out the ten Sky Ascending Pills he had refined.

Including the one Bai Xin just gave him.

"Since the Qintian Bureau has opened the battlefield for the entire Taicang for better overall capabilities in the battle,"

"And you, Gu Xin’er, will be the first to use the Spirit Pond!"

Gu Xin’er was extremely satisfied upon hearing that she could use the Spirit Pond first, especially for beauty enhancement.

"Wahaha, let me try it out first for the senior sisters at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

As she spoke, she began unbuttoning her clothes, ready to dip in for a soak.

Jiang Fan paused and said, "Aren’t you conscious of me being here?"

Gu Xin’er said instinctively, "You’ve already touched..."

Then she realized she was in the capacity of Vice Building Owner Gu at that time.

Frightened, she quickly changed her words, "Oh oh, I mean, aren’t you leaving yet?"

"Or do you intend to touch me?"

Jiang Fan almost laughed out loud.

But she’s still trying to disguise her identity.

He glanced at the transformation in her chest with a hint of apprehension.

However, he glanced at her transformation with a hint of worry.
