Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1335: Chapter 1348: True Word Domain Shattered

True Word Venerable’s expression was calm, he said indifferently:

"It’s about decay, right?"

"I didn’t expect the Heavenly Human Decline to come so quickly."

Chen Jing was anxious: "When did your domain break?"

"Was it the question I asked earlier that made you lie?"

"No, you don’t need to lie to me. I’m not worthy of your lies."

"Was it Venerate Xinnie? Did you lie to him?"

"But he just casually asked you one question!"

Chen Jing was extremely anxious.

Once the Heavenly Human Decline Tribulation arrives, it will rapidly decay like Evil Crow Venerable.

A maximum of a year, if there’s no breakthrough, one will die under the Heavenly Human Decline.

The master finally agreed to sever ties with Jiang Fan, yet now he’s about to fall!

Why is this?

The master simply answered Venerate Xinnie, didn’t see the direction of the ashes.

What’s there to lie about?

Wait!

Chen Jing suddenly understood!

The master saw the direction of the ashes!!!

The Bodhisattva’s Buddhist sound hadn’t made the master with the True Word Domain lose focus.

She witnessed the entire direction of the ashes.

But why would she conceal it?

Even if the master didn’t want the person cultivating Void Flow Thunder Force to die, there’s no need to lie.

It was just telling the direction, Venerate Xinnie would still struggle to find the person.

Unless that person was right within sight.

The master had to lie for him!

Back then, there were only four people present.

Venerate Xinnie, True Word Venerable, Chen Jing himself.

And...

Jiang Fan!

It was Jiang Fan!

He’s the one who cultivated Void Flow Thunder Force, the person Venerate Xinnie had been searching for over half a year!

And the master lied without hesitation for him!

Using her own life to exchange for Jiang Fan’s chance to survive!!!

The master always said he was more important than Jiang Fan.

Would she exchange her life if he was to die?

It’s hard to say.

But she has already done so for Jiang Fan!

"The master lied to me!!!" Chen Jing shouted fiercely in his heart.

"In her heart, Jiang Fan is the more important one!"

True Word Venerable turned her head to him: "What do you want to say?"

Chen Jing suppressed his anger.

Pretending to be ignorant, he showed worry:

"Master, what should we do now? If you can’t withstand the Heavenly Human Decline Tribulation, won’t it be..."

True Word Venerable shook her head, calmly said:

"It doesn’t matter anymore."

"You just focus on cultivating. Hopefully, before the Ancient Giants arrive, you can successfully step into Divinity Transformation."

She and Chen Jing arrived at White Horse Temple, intending to use the Transmission Array here to return directly to Washing Moon Lake.

"Venerable, the Bodhisattva requests your presence."

As they reached the temple entrance, Master Puguang approached with his hands clasped together.

True Word Venerable slightly turned her gaze: "Does the Bodhisattva know something?"

She gently nodded:

"Chen Jing, wait for me in the temple, don’t leave."

"I’ll be back soon."

True Word Venerable followed Master Puguang to the White Horse Temple’s backyard.

Chen Jing’s gaze flickered, as he watched True Word Venerable’s figure disappear, he quietly left White Horse Temple.

In his heart, he coldly thought: "Master, don’t blame me."

"You forced me!"

Market.

Venerate Xinnie was disheartened, his face full of gloom as he stared at the sky.

"This is Cause and Effect."

"Having killed too much, causing heaven’s wrath and people’s suffering, the Bodhisattva interfered at the most crucial moment, cutting off my path."

"Every drink and every meal, it’s all destiny."

Jiang Fan shook his head inwardly.

The Bodhisattva might not have acted just to sabotage Venerate Xinnie.

Very likely, he was protecting Jiang Fan.

As the Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva, all sounds in the world are hard to escape his ears.

Jiang Fan had once plotted against Wang Chongxiao, and had just conversed with True Word Venerable.

Surely, the Bodhisattva heard it all, long knowing Jiang Fan was a Void Flow Thunder Force practitioner.

That’s why he interfered.

The goal was to hope Jiang Fan survives, for his salvation.

However.

Venerate Xinnie killed so many people searching for him, he deserves to die.

Jiang Fan had no sympathy in his heart.

He tentatively asked: "Master, what’s your plan next?"

Venerate Xinnie rasped: "Wait for death."

"In five days, the Young Emperor will project here to kill me."

"By then, it will be a dead end."

Jiang Fan secretly sighed in relief.

This is the best outcome, with Venerate Xinnie’s death, he would be free.

He can practice the Void Flow Five Forces unrestricted and without fear.

"Do you have any troubles?"

Venerate Xinnie looked at Jiang Fan and said: "I’ll use my remaining time to help you once more."

Jiang Fan took out Venerate Xinnie’s Storage Ring, returned it to him:

"Disciple doesn’t have any troubles, just following the steps to connect with the Asura Clan."

"Master, you should rather find a way to save yourself."

Venerate Xinnie hesitated for a moment, accepted the Storage Ring, and said:

"Escape?"

"Who in the world can escape the Young Emperor’s reach?"

"When he wants to kill someone, hiding at the ends of the earth is useless."

Jiang Fan’s heart was chilled: "Is the Young Emperor really that formidable?"

Venerate Xinnie’s eyes showed reverence: "Heavenly Person Five Declines Realm, already has half-body merit."

"Considered a Half-step Great Sage."

Hiss!

Jiang Fan’s scalp slightly tingled, it sounded even more terrifying than Xingyuan Venerable.

He tentatively asked again:

"Master, was it the Young Emperor ordered you to hunt down Void Flow Thunder Force practitioners?"

"Why does he care so much about Void Flow Thunder Force?"

Jiang Fan couldn’t understand.

He merely practiced Void Flow Thunder Force a little, how could he threaten the Young Emperor?

Even cultivating it to Perfection wouldn’t possibly harm a Half-step Great Sage, would it?

Venerate Xinnie knowing his end was near, didn’t hide it, and slowly said:

"Once you reach the Heavenly Human Five Declines, all actions revolve around one thing."

Jiang Fan knew what it was.

Merit!

Venerate Xinnie said: "That’s merit!"

"And back then, the Five Elements Divine Monarch was also a Great Venerate who reached the Heavenly Human Five Declines and fought in the ancient giant skirmishes a thousand years ago."

"He possesses unfathomably vast merit."

"However, his merit is unique, integrated into the small world he created with ’Void Flow Five Forces’."

"Once his merit is released, it would disperse to those practicing ’Void Flow Five Forces’ across the Nine States."

"The Young Emperor cultivates Void Flow Thunder Force, he could gain two percent of the merit, but if others also practice Void Flow Thunder Force, they would share some."

"Even, if their Void Flow Thunder Force is stronger than the Young Emperor’s, they would dominate more merit."

Jiang Fan nearly spat out old blood.

So the legacy of the Five Elements Divine Monarch hides merit allocation?

Even as a tiny Core Formation, unbeknownst to him, he got swept into a merit scramble among the Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerates.

To survive till now, it’s truly remarkable.

"So that’s why the Young Emperor hunts this person."

Jiang Fan sighed.

Venerate Xinnie said hatefully: "Though I didn’t personally kill this little brat, the Young Emperor will come to end him."

"I’ll wait underground to see if he really has three heads and six arms!"

Just as they conversed.

A figure swiftly approached.

He fell in front of Venerate Xinnie, bowed slightly, and said lightly:

"Junior Chen Jing, has something important to report to senior."
