Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1235: Chapter 1239: Jiang Wuya

Divinity Transformation is forbidden!

Who could establish such a rule?

And make the Divinity Transformation Venerables of later generations regard it as a heavenly ban, not daring to violate it?

Jiang Fan thought of the capricious woman who renamed "Lingzhu Island" to "Continent".

Could it be her?

Who exactly is this woman?

Her background is astonishing, right?

He felt slightly reassured, as this way, having been hunted by Venerate Xinnie, he at least had a retreat.

Of course, escaping back to the Continent right under Venerate Xinnie’s nose was not generally easy.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Fan felt genuinely grateful.

A conversation not only revealed many secrets of the world but also gained him a route of retreat.

Ji Qingxuan smiled gently: "You’re welcome, I too hope you can survive."

"You are the only person I can talk to now."

The two exchanged a look, feeling a sense of mutual sympathy.

Jiang Fan reluctantly asked, "When will you set off?"

Ji Qingxuan replied, "Initially, I wanted to return to the North Sea to say goodbye to my father."

"But since I have met you, please convey to them not to worry about me."

"I’m going to the Heavenly State now."

Heavenly State?

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up, saying, "Wait a moment."

He took out three Jade Paper Heavenly Books and three pieces of imprinted paper.

He transcribed all the contents onto them.

Then, he also took out some Soul Mushrooms.

Previously, he had consumed the mushrooms from the Sanqing Mountain Dao Leader’s Space Storage Device in one go.

The Soul Mushrooms he initially picked still remained in his possession.

He handed both to Ji Qingxuan.

"A gift for me?" Ji Qingxuan asked, puzzled.

Jiang Fan said, "My wife, Chen Silin, has gone to the Moon Palace in the Heavenly State."

"If you have the chance to visit the Moon Palace, please give these to her."

Chen Silin’s current situation is not good.

She harbors both her and the Moon Venerate’s souls within her, and they are bound to merge.

At that time, whichever soul power is stronger will dominate the body.

After returning to her Moon Palace, the Moon Venerate cultivates rapidly, faster than Chen Silin can match.

If he does not intervene, the final result would naturally be Chen Silin’s disappearance.

The contents of the six pieces of Soul Jade Paper, along with the Soul Mushrooms, can help her greatly.

Ji Qingxuan’s cheeks slightly reddened.

So it’s for his wife, she had been overthinking.

She accepted them with both hands, muttering, "Your women are really spread across the big states."

When gathering information about Jiang Fan, she inevitably learned about the women around him.

It’s a pity the Ancient Saint never gave him the title "Flower Grove Master" as his Dao title.

Jiang Fan awkwardly said, "In any case, it’s a burden for you."

Ji Qingxuan stored the items carefully and paid her respects solemnly:

"Then, Qingxuan takes her leave."

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed reluctance: "Until we meet again."

Ji Qingxuan nodded, lifted her umbrella, leaving an artistic silhouette that gradually disappeared from his sight.

Jiang Fan stared longingly, looking at the Misfortune Broken Bone in his hand, and stored it carefully.

"I hope we can meet again."

He felt a tumult in his heart and used Cloud Shadow to arrive at a peak shrouded in rolling Yin Qi.

This was the cultivation place of the Evil Crow Venerable.

A massive black furnace was burning red hot with flames beneath it.

Inside, there were continuous sounds of wailing.

Jiang Fan remembered that there had been movements in the furnace the last time he visited.

Now a month had passed, and there was still someone alive?

He quickly released a wave of Nascent Soul Power, extinguishing the flame beneath the furnace.

The wails inside the furnace gradually ceased.

He kicked the black furnace over, and with it, charred bodies tumbled out.

Surprisingly.

There was a person, only burned scarlet all over, with life force still vigorous.

"Such strong life force!" Jiang Fan was amazed.

He leaned in for a closer look, seeing a tall middle-aged man.

His eyebrows and hair had long been burned off, and his face was charred scarlet, unrecognizable.

Yet, Jiang Fan felt a sense of familiarity with his features.

"Have we met before?" Jiang Fan asked, puzzled.

The middle-aged man weakly opened his eyes, taking a glance at Jiang Fan.

With just that look, Jiang Fan felt a strong sense of justice surge within his chest, looking around at the surrounding Yin Qi with growing disdain.

Even the Yin Qi within himself was intensely repulsive.

"Yin Qi, a thing only cultivated by evil demons and heretics!"

Jiang Fan raised his hand, slapping fiercely at his Nascent Soul, attempting to cripple his own cultivation.

Thankfully, the scar on his Nascent Soul brought a sudden, cold pain.

He snapped back to his senses and stopped himself just in time.

"What on earth was I just...?"

Jiang Fan looked at the man before him in uncertainty and quickly retreated.

"Have I been infected with madness?"

"Madness that fills one’s heart with extreme righteousness?"

He looked towards the middle-aged man, inhaling sharply.

"Are you Senior Jiang Wuya?"

A Nine Aperture Nascent Soul following the path of righteousness, in all of Taicang State, there’s only one.

That is the first Sword Cultivator, Jiang Wuya!

No wonder his features seemed familiar!

In the past, Jiang Wuya had hunted Jiang Fan through the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road mercilessly.

And all because of the excessive murderous aura around him!

Never did he expect that upon meeting Jiang Wuya again, the latter would be tortured inside a Black Tripod by the Evil Crow Venerable, trying to refine him into a Yin Corpse!

"Yes, back then, Jiang Wuya was hunting Feng Yuan Sect, causing them not to be the first to reach the end of the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road."

"How could the Evil Crow Venerable not resent Jiang Wuya?"

"No wonder that after the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road, there was no more news of Jiang Wuya; it turns out he was captured by the Evil Crow Venerable."

While mumbling.

Jiang Wuya also recognized Jiang Fan, his gaze turning sharp: "I remember you!"

"Killers must pay with their lives; it is a fundamental law!"

"I wish to eradicate demons, that the righteous path may prosper forever!"

He struggled to stand, but being too weak, faltered and fell again.

But justice propelled him to rise once more.

He instinctively tried to draw the Sword Box from his back, yet it had long been taken by the Evil Crow Venerable.

However, he remained unyielding, moving arduously towards Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan did not flee.

Today’s situation was different from the past, making it difficult for Jiang Wuya to chase him like on the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road.

Moreover, at this moment, walking was already a struggle for him, let alone killing him?

Seeing Jiang Wuya’s obsessive face, Jiang Fan sighed softly:

"Senior Jiang Wuya, is the path you pursue truly correct?"

"Life’s affairs are not simply black and white, nor are people unequivocally good or evil."

"To declare me a demon, a monster, an evildoer just because I have killed, is it not unfair?"

Jiang Wuya had already entered a semi-conscious state.

He could awaken and enter Divinity at any moment.

Therefore, Jiang Fan’s words reached him.

Hearing them, Jiang Wuya’s gaze remained firm: "There is no need for sophistry!"

"I only acknowledge the iron laws of the mortal world; if the law deems you evil, then you are evil."

"I only need to execute justice, that is to punish evil!"

Jiang Fan replied calmly: "Is that so?"

"Should a murderous bandit die?"

Jiang Wuya continued towards Jiang Fan step by step, coldly replying: "Great treachery and evil warrant a thousand cuts!"

Jiang Fan nodded, "The bandit, before his death, suddenly does one good deed and saves a drowning child."

"Should he still die?"

Jiang Wuya paused for a moment, affirming, "Each matter is separate!"

"He should be rewarded for saving a life; for the heinous crimes committed, he should still be exterminated!"

Jiang Fan agreed, "I concur."

"Should a virtuous elder, having saved countless disaster victims, be killed?"

Jiang Wuya chuckled coldly, "Of course not! Saving a life is of great merit, let alone saving countless victims."

"He should be rewarded."

Jiang Fan’s eyes gleamed: "The elder, passing by the water’s edge, sees the bandit rescuing the child, mistakenly thinking the bandit intends harm."

"While the bandit is unprepared, he kills him with a blade."

"He has killed, and for killing, one must pay with their life, as dictated by the law."

"What would you do?"
