Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1499: Chapter 1532: Mysterious Stone Cone

Venerable Lianjing gazed at Jiang Fan, her expression very serious:

"Life is long, but not all regrets can be remedied."

"The passing of family, the missed opportunities with loved ones, these cannot be supplemented."

"If you have even one of these, the Path of Perfection cannot be complete, and you cannot reach Divinity Transformation."

There was a slight smile in Jiang Fan’s eyes: "I know."

"I have walked this path so as to leave no regrets in life."

"I have been honest and sincere with the women around me, doing everything I can to keep them by my side, so none have been missed."

"As for family, I have never met my mother, so it’s not really a regret. My father suffered and faltered in life, and for him, passing away was actually a form of release."

"Therefore, the regrets left are very few, and there are opportunities to make up for them."

Venerable Lianjing finally nodded slightly and said, "It seems I was overthinking it."

"You have always acted only after careful consideration."

"However, I am still worried about you."

"In ordinary times, it would be fine. After you step into the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul, it would not be too late to slowly mend the regrets."

"But with the Ancient Giant looming and chaos in the world, you may not have the chance."

Jiang Fan fell silent.

This was also why he hesitated and did not use the Soul Awakening Divine Nails.

If he fell into the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul and could not awaken for a long time, facing the Ancient Giant would be perilous.

Venerable Lianjing said: "At present, the plan is to mend all your regrets before you step into the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul."

"In this way, once you step in, you will quickly awaken."

"Is there any regret you need my help with?"

There was a hint of guilt in her eyes.

If she had known earlier that Jiang Fan was going to walk the Path of Perfection, she would have stopped him no matter what.

But she was busy preparing merit for the Young Emperor and had not paid attention to Jiang Fan, nor had she guided him.

Feeling her apology, Jiang Fan felt a warmth in his heart and said:

"Godmother, there’s no need to blame yourself. I only have one regret left."

"This matter, I can resolve myself."

Venerable Lianjing’s eyes brightened: "That’s good!"

"Then go and mend it now, and I will take you back to Young Emperor Mountain."

"I will use the resources of Young Emperor Mountain to protect you on your path to Divinity Transformation."

This was the reason she came to Taicang State today.

Jiang Fan took out the Soul Awakening Divine Nails and said: "My sect and friends have each paved the way for me."

"Everything is ready, only the regrets remain to be fulfilled."

Venerable Lianjing looked gratified.

Jiang Fan was very popular in Taicang State; even these eight-hundred-year-old Soul Awakening Divine Nails could still be gathered for him in this era.

It was clear that great effort had been taken on Jiang Fan’s behalf.

"You always think of your godmother, leaving her no chance to help you." She gave a wry smile and said:

"What are your plans next?"

"There are only three days until the Ancient Giant descends."

Without hesitation, Jiang Fan said: "I want to visit the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple."

"To see whether I can gather enough Thunder Power."

Oh?

Venerable Lianjing recalled Jiang Fan’s slaughter in Heavenly Heritage City, wiping out half of the Dharma Image Realm Half-Giants.

That must have been due to some powerful secret technique used by Jiang Fan.

Could it be related to accumulating Thunder Power?

She immediately said, "I will accompany you on this trip."

"If there is none, I will return to Young Emperor Mountain to get a Thunder Mountain for you."

Jiang Fan was overjoyed.

In this way, he need not worry about running out of Thunder Power.

He rushed back to the dungeon, retrieved the Cannibal Flower Seeds that were still chewing on corpses, and then set off with Venerable Lianjing to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple.

Not long later.

The Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple.

In the depths of the mountain, a bolt of Thunder Light spanned the sky and earth, never dissipating.

In the Thunder Light, faint mysterious and strange characters flickered.

This was the celestial phenomenon created when Jiang Fan mastered the ’Heavenly Thunder Six Parts.’

The source of the Thunder Light.

A large, rough, cone-shaped stone buried in the ground, surrounded by densely packed nine-colored thunderbolts.

They seemed to be guarding the stone, not allowing anyone to approach.

Heart Demon Venerable was out of breath, his robe scorched all over, and even his eyebrows and beard were burnt.

His skin was also blistered with patches of red welts.

"As the top thunder cultivator in Taicang State, I was actually injured by a patch of thunderbolt like this."

Heart Demon Venerable wiped his face, seething with anger.

Waiting impatiently for Jiang Fan, he had repeatedly tried to approach the giant stone by force, hoping to unravel the secret of this legacy item passed down by the founder of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple.

He hoped to find a defensive magical treasure for the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple to resist the Ancient Giant.

But he was destined to be futile.

If the secret could be unraveled so easily, would the former Venerables of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple have done nothing?

Ultimately, it required someone who had mastered the ’Heavenly Thunder Six Parts’ to unravel the mystery.

Realizing this, he fumed: "Has that damn kid still not come?"

It’s shameful to say.

The ’Heavenly Thunder Six Parts’ of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple was ultimately mastered by an outsider.

Moreover, now he had to ask that person for help.

Not far away, the Qiong Tower Master smiled wryly and said: "There has been no news yet..."

At this moment, the Communication Jade Pendant in his arms sounded.

Upon receiving the information, he showed a look of joy and said: "He’s arrived!"

"I just received word that Jiang Fan has arrived at our Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple."

Heart Demon Venerable was also suddenly delighted, but then his gaze changed, and he huffed:

"Good boy, an outsider mastered our Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple’s secret cultivation technique?"

"You must give me an explanation."

The Qiong Tower Master understood that the Venerable was not truly going to make things difficult for Jiang Fan about the cultivation technique; otherwise, he would have gone personally to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion long ago.

He was planning to give Jiang Fan a small lesson.

In doing so, it would be much easier to have Jiang Fan cooperate to unravel the mystery of the Stone Cone.

He hesitated for a moment and said: "Venerable, there’s also a female companion beside Jiang Fan, and she has a Divine Ring on the back of her head."

"She seems to be a Divinity Transformation Venerable."

The disciple delivering the message did not dare to scrutinize Venerable Lianjing’s Divine Ring.

He could only provide vague information.

Heart Demon Venerable was slightly surprised but did not take it too seriously.

After all, this was the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, his domain!

Whoever came would have to abide by his rules!

So, with a wave of his sleeve, he performed Instantaneous Movement and left, saying: "Who cares who it is?"

"I’m asking Jiang Fan for an explanation; does she dare to stop me?"

The Qiong Tower Master thought as much.

With Heart Demon Venerable’s fiery temper, he wouldn’t give much face to those of the same rank.

Soon.

The two of them appeared in front of the Transmission Hall.

Upon landing, Heart Demon Venerable heard something that made his blood pressure spike.

"Vice Pavilion Master Jiang, you finally came!"

"I also want to do a business on credit with you. I’ve already prepared my precious female disciple as collateral; don’t worry, she’s very pretty!"

"Director Zhao, you have disgraced the integrity of our Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple! How can you offer your own female disciple as collateral? I’m different; I offer my wife as collateral!"

...

Heart Demon Venerable laughed angrily.

This group of guys!

Having learned that Song Lingyu’s disciple, Hua Wuying, stayed in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion as collateral for three months, not only did she not suffer, but she also received a great fortune.

Now, each of them wanted to use their female disciple as collateral.

Even more outrageous, some even used their wives as stakes!

Unbelievable!
