Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1234: Chapter 1238: Misfortune Broken Bone

Oh?

Jiang Fan’s eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a trace of shock in his eyes.

Ji Qingxuan watched Jiang Fan’s expression, showing a smile.

Talking with Jiang Fan is always so easy; he always grasps the key point of a problem.

"You noticed it too, right?"

"Every time the Ancient Giants descend, it’s a thousand years apart, not eight hundred years, nor one thousand two hundred years."

"Exactly a thousand years!"

"The traces of manipulation are too obvious!"

It was this point that shocked Jiang Fan!

The arrival of the Ancient Giants is a setup by a hidden hand!

What kind of person could have such capabilities to use the Heavenly Realm and Central Earth as chess pieces to set up such a grand scheme on the chessboard of eternal ages?

It’s too astonishing!

He asked somewhat absentmindedly, "Did you find out who the person behind it is?"

Ji Qingxuan shook her head, "I saw this content on a piece of turtle shell in the Great Yin Sect."

"The words on the turtle shell are limited, only recording this matter."

Jiang Fan couldn’t calm the waves in his heart for a long time, taking a deep breath, he said:

"Your discovery is no less than mine in the Heavenly Realm."

Hearing this, Ji Qingxuan’s eyes were full of smiles.

She very much enjoyed the thrill of exploring the unknown, often feeling lonely due to having no one to share with.

The first time she met Jiang Fan, she felt a sense of having found a kindred spirit.

Now, even more so.

"By the way, it was only once that the Ancient Giants descended out of the thousand-year sequence."

Ji Qingxuan continued to share, "That was the last time the Ancient Giants descended!"

"The gap between the last and the previous one was exactly two thousand years."

"I guess something happened during the great battle last time that caused the Ancient Giants’ descent to skip a thousand years."

"Central Earth thus got two thousand years of respite."

Jiang Fan agreed deeply.

The previous seven times, each was precisely spaced apart.

How could there be a deviation in the eighth?

It could only be because something major happened that affected the arrangements of the person behind the scenes.

But, three thousand years have already passed.

There’s no way to verify what happened back then.

He sighed deeply and laughed, "Listening to you for an hour is better than studying for ten years."

"Every time I talk to you, I gain something."

Ji Qingxuan laughed, "You praise me too much, I have gained a lot too."

Jiang Fan asked, "Is there anything else you want to know about the Great Yin Sect?"

"I’m the Sect Master now, I can fulfill any request you have."

Ji Qingxuan covered her mouth and lightly laughed, "Then I must thank Sect Master Jiang."

"However, I plan to leave the Great Yin Sect and head to the Outer State."

Oh?

Jiang Fan showed a surprised look in his eyes, "You’re leaving?"

Ji Qingxuan lightly nodded her snow-white chin and said:

"I’ve almost understood Taicang State, it’s time to visit other states."

Jiang Fan felt a little melancholic.

Although he hadn’t had many encounters with Ji Qingxuan, each one made him feel a sense of a kindred spirit.

He thought for a moment and took out a Top-grade Crystal Stone.

"A small gift for you."

To use a state-level teleportation array, a Top-grade Crystal Stone is essential.

Ji Qingxuan covered her red lips in surprise, "It’s too valuable, I can’t accept it!"

Known Top-grade Crystal Stones are in the hands of the sect masters of the Three Divine Sects and Seven Great Sects and don’t circulate externally at all.

She collected countless materials and found one in a remote ancient ruin.

Getting a second one seemed impossible.

It was unimaginable that Jiang Fan would casually give one to her.

Jiang Fan smiled and pushed it toward her, saying, "Since you’ve decided to go to the Outer State, you must have a Top-grade Crystal Stone with you."

"But what about coming back?"

"Take it; I don’t hope this is our last meeting."

Ji Qingxuan’s eyes sparkled with gratitude.

After pondering for a while, she accepted the Top-grade Crystal Stone and said, "Thank you."

"Then I’ll give you a gift too."

She took out a Jade Box, covered with densely packed seals.

Even so, there was still a faintly uncomfortable aura emanating from it.

Jiang Fan frowned, "What is this?"

The aura had a similar feel to the "Misfortune" cast by the Luck Giant King.

Ji Qingxuan said, "It’s a piece of broken bone from the first deadly land in Taicang, containing strong misfortune."

"When you encounter an unpredictable strong enemy, find a way to drive it into their body."

"Misfortune will kill him."

The first deadly land in Taicang?

Jiang Fan showed amazement, he had never even heard of that place, yet Ji Qingxuan knew it well.

And she even brought out a piece of broken bone from it.

Nonetheless, he refused.

"You’re going on a long journey, you’ll face many dangers, you should keep it for protection."

Ji Qingxuan shook her head, "I’m just a little woman, unlikely to attract too much danger?"

"Unlike you, who could be killed by Venerate Xinnie at any moment."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan’s pupils shook, "What do you mean by that?"

Ji Qingxuan said calmly, "I heard that before you left for the Heavenly Realm, Venerate Xinnie publicly questioned your possession of the Void Flow Thunder Force."

"Then, I investigated your cultivation in the ’Heavenly Thunder Six Parts’.

"And found that, with the same Cultivation Technique, you’re much stronger than the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple."

"It’s not hard to infer that you’re the one Venerate Xinnie is looking for."

Jiang Fan’s heart was greatly shaken!

Ji Qingxuan actually knew his secret long ago!

He wasn’t worried that Ji Qingxuan would betray him; if she wanted to, she would have already reported to Venerate Xinnie.

She wouldn’t calmly explain her own deductions.

He worried about one thing.

If Ji Qingxuan could figure it out, then if Venerate Xinnie doubted Jiang Fan just a little more, sending someone to investigate his past, they could make the same inference!

Ji Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of concern:

"I don’t know how you deceived Venerate Xinnie on that day."

"But deceiving him for a while is easy, continuing to fool him is hard."

"You should plan ahead."

"This Misfortune Broken Bone can also affect Venerate Xinnie, but embedding it into his body is no ordinary task."

A Venerate in their prime could crush Jiang Fan with a single thought.

Such an obvious piece of broken bone, how could it be easily driven into the opponent’s body?

"If it really doesn’t work, you should return to the continent."

Ji Qingxuan pondered for a while and said, "Venerate Xinnie absolutely dares not set foot on the continent."

Oh?

Jiang Fan showed surprise.

If he remembered correctly, the Six-Path Masters had also reminded him, if hunted by Venerate Xinnie, to either take refuge in the Outer State.

Or return to the continent.

He was puzzled, what could be on the continent that would make a Venerate fear it?

The last time the Six-Path Masters hesitated to speak, this time he’s asking clearly.

"Have you seen any rumors regarding the continent?"

Ji Qingxuan gently nodded, "It’s a very ancient rumor."

"That rumor has only four words."

"Divinity Transformation Forbidden."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan was taken aback.

He asked, "Who made that rule?"

Who could have the authority to forbid Divinity Transformation Venerables from entering the continent?

Ji Qingxuan said, "I don’t know."

"But indeed, no Venerable dares set foot on the continent."

"Venerate Xinnie presumably dares not enter either."
