Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1575: Chapter 1613: Master of the Jade Paper Heavenly Book

Jiang Fan was almost blown away!

He quickly closed the lid, and the laws finally stopped overflowing.

He was full of surprise: "This... is this a pot of law-infused wine?"

Pingtian Bodhisattva hurried over, feeling the lingering laws in the air.

He glanced at the law-infused wine gourd in Jiang Fan’s hand, quickly rolled the Buddha beads in his hand, and murmured rapidly: "Amitabha, sin, sin."

"For a monk, the four elements are empty, no greed, no jealousy, no envy."

The Misfortune God Stele also flew over, and Jiang Wuya’s surprised voice came: "Isn’t this senior too kind to his sworn brother?"

"Wine infused with laws has a unique effect for sages who are injured or seek to break through to the next realm."

"There aren’t many bottles like this in all of Central Earth!"

Jiang Fan was astonished.

He understood helping a sage breakthrough, as the laws in the wine could help sages refine their own power of laws and reach a higher level.

Unexpectedly, it could also help injured sages heal?

If he remembered correctly, the Compassionate Sage, who entered Sage through loopholes, stayed in Central Earth because of his injuries, right?

This pot of wine could not be given away for even a drop!

"I ask both of you to keep this a secret for me." Jiang Fan put away the pot of wine and said solemnly.

Pingtian Bodhisattva nodded: "Good."

Jiang Wuya added: "This wine should not be publicized, or it will bring endless trouble."

Jiang Fan nodded in satisfaction.

He looked up at the sky and said: "I forgive you this time."

"Eighty lashes remain, and I’ve noted them down for later!"

After saying this, he immediately used Spatial Teleportation to escape to avoid being struck by lightning again.

Not long after.

The three of them returned to the Fire Worship Sect.

Looking at the empty Fire Worship Sect, Jiang Fan inquired and learned they had already migrated to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

"Where is Yuwei Fairy?" Jiang Fan looked around and found no trace of Yuwei.

Jian Lanjiang said helplessly: "She has already left, nowhere to be found."

Next to him, Pingtian Bodhisattva silently clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Jiang Fan curiously asked: "Back then, did you leave monkhood for her because you fell for her, or was it your intention to enter the mundane world to temper your Buddhist heart?"

Pingtian Bodhisattva closed his eyes and did not answer.

Silence is also an answer.

Jiang Fan understood it was the latter.

He had once wondered why the Dharma Seal Vajra, devoted to the Buddhist Path, would fall in love at first sight with a woman.

It turned out the Dharma Seal Vajra knew that the ordinary path to prove the Bodhisattva would take too long, and he couldn’t succeed before the Ancient Giant descended.

So he took a peculiar path, entering the mundane world first, then cutting off desires.

He shook his head and said: "Whether your feelings were true or not."

"Since you were a couple, you owe her an explanation."

Pingtian Bodhisattva slowly opened his eyes, no longer avoiding, and said calmly:

"Tempering my Buddhist heart is true, and loving her deeply is also true."

"She feels the same."

Hmm?

What does that mean?

Could Yuwei, like the Dharma Seal Vajra, have stepped into the mundane with a purpose?

What is Yuwei’s true goal?

She is, after all, a remnant soul of an Asura Emperor, if she has plans, they won’t be small.

A slight worry rose in Jiang Fan’s heart.

However, he should focus on the present.

The Great Wine Sacrifice and Asura Emperor haven’t clashed yet, and this feels like the calm before the storm.

The more silent it is, the more terrifying the storm will be when it comes.

"By the way, where is True Word?" Jiang Fan looked around and only then realized True Word Venerable was missing.

Heart Demon Venerable, who was sitting near the Fire Spring, frowned and said:

"In the Fire Spring, he should have come out by now."

Since True Word Venerable entered, four two-hours have passed, almost half a day.

Under the Fire Spring, unless there’s something profound, it shouldn’t take this long.

"Fire Spring?" Jiang Fan was puzzled and learned the reason True Word Venerable was in the Fire Spring after inquiring.

After a moment of thought, he came to the Fire Spring.

With the Fire Origin surging within him, clusters of flames parted as if meeting their master.

It seemed having the Fire Origin protected him made it quite safe.

"I’ll go down to have a look. If I don’t come up in two hours, then think of a way to rescue me and True Word Venerable."

With that, he leapt into the Fire Spring.

As he went deeper, the temperature became more intense the closer he got to the bottom.

After thirty minutes, Jiang Fan was deep underground, unsure of the distance. The intense heat here made him feel a prickling pain on his skin, even with the Fire Origin.

He had a bad feeling.

True Word Venerable only had the Phoenix Feather Nine Flames Fan to go deep here, even with the Second Decline of Heavenly Human, it would be hard to bear.

At this moment.

The narrow and extremely deep shaft suddenly opened up.

A thousand-foot lava lake, washed out by magma, appeared before his eyes.

The rolling magma was extremely hot, and clusters of strange fire flickered in and out amid the magma.

Jiang Fan resisted the burning sensation, quickly scanning around, but did not find True Word Venerable.

The unease in his heart intensified.

Since True Word Venerable had not come out, she must still be in the shaft.

The only place that could hide her was one spot.

His gaze fell on the magma-filled ground, and after a moment of thought, he took out the Void Fishing Rod.

He mentally pictured True Word Venerable’s appearance and cast the rod.

Indeed, the fishhook went directly into the magma and soon hooked onto something.

Jiang Fan lifted the rod, trying to pull it out of the magma, but strangely, it wouldn’t budge.

True Word Venerable was trapped at the bottom of the magma!

His expression became concentrated, and he decisively took out the Mountain River Tripod.

The magma here was so intense that ordinary Space Storage Devices would be instantly destroyed, unable to contain it.

Only the Mountain River Tripod could attempt it.

To see if it could condense the liquid magma.

"Collect!" He slapped the Mountain River Tripod, urging it on.

Instantly.

The lava lake rolled, and streams of magma, like heavenly dragons absorbing water, surged into the Mountain River Tripod.

As the magma continued to increase, the Mountain River Tripod also expanded continuously.

Not long after.

The Mountain River Tripod grew as large as a mountain!

And the lava lake revealed its deep bottom.

Taking advantage of the Mountain River Tripod condensing magma, Jiang Fan quickly jumped to the bottom of the lake and immediately saw True Word Venerable!

She sat cross-legged on the dried-up lakebed, her clothes long since burned away, her skin reddened by heat.

"True Word!" Jiang Fan called out softly.

But True Word Venerable’s eyes were slightly closed, seemingly in some kind of meditation.

In her palm, she held a tattered jade book.

The book was embedded with a crimson orb, exuding dazzling brilliance.

Waves of terrifying heat emanated from it, scorching the surrounding stone walls and earth, gradually melting them into new magma.

Jiang Fan’s heart went cold: "This orb, could it be..."

"It’s the Giant Emperor’s Curse Eye, also known as the Curse Sun Wheel."

Suddenly, a cold voice appeared directly in Jiang Fan’s soul.

He was startled and looked around quickly.

But all around was empty, and he said sharply: "Who might you be?"

Could there really be something alive in this millennial Fire Spring?

"Take a guess."

Jiang Fan’s thoughts raced, and he blurted out almost without thinking:

"Junior, Jiang Fan of the Human Clan, has seen the master of the Jade Paper Heavenly Book!"
