Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2019: Chapter 2063: Ye Banxia

"The purple female giant?" Silver Moon Venerable recalled for a moment before suddenly remembering.

"Isn’t she the Princess Zi Jiang captured by Jiang Fan back then?"

"She is the daughter of the Central Emperor; bringing her back would be quite an accomplishment, wouldn’t it?"

Seeing Princess Zi Jiang struggle to open the Void Rift, half her body already out, he decisively gathered moonlight in his palm.

With a wave of his hand, the moonlight transformed into a long chain, wrapping around the waist of Princess Zi Jiang.

"Come back to me!" Silver Moon Venerable’s cultivation was countless times higher than that of Princess Zi Jiang.

He easily pulled her back.

Princess Zi Jiang stumbled and fell to the ground, staring at the Great Venerate in front of her, whose cultivation had reached the Heavenly Human Five Declines, her vertical pupils shook furiously.

To be discovered by a Human Clan member of the Five Declines at the very last moment of escape.

She was unlucky, but also somewhat fortunate.

Unlucky, because she encountered an opponent far stronger than herself; fortunate, because the other party was of the Heavenly Human Five Declines.

She took out a bag filled entirely with Qi fortune.

For those who couldn’t enter Sagehood through Merit, this was their final path to ascension.

"Let me go, and this bag of Qi fortune is yours!"

Qi fortune?

Silver Moon Venerable was stunned, then his gaze changed dramatically.

Entering Sagehood through Qi fortune cannot be furthered.

Unless one walks the old path of the Ten Sins of Central Earth, absorbing the hatred of all beings, which is a road of no return.

However, the path of Merit was no longer an option for him.

Central Earth already suppressed the Hell Realm and destroyed the Southern Heavenly Realm; such a world-shaking battle would not occur again.

He would never be able to accumulate enough Merit to enter Sagehood in his lifetime.

Entering Sagehood through Qi fortune was his only route.

But, why couldn’t he have both the Qi fortune and the capture of Princess Zi Jiang?

"Hmph!" Princess Zi Jiang saw through his thoughts with a glance, snorting lightly: "Put away your petty plans!"

She clutched the bag tightly; with just a bit of force, she could crush the bag and release the Qi fortune.

Silver Moon Venerable’s face alternated between bright and dark; this female giant was quite difficult!

After a brief deliberation, he said, "Put down the bag, and you may leave!"

With a wave of his hand, the moonlight chain was withdrawn.

Princess Zi Jiang then extended a long tongue, wrapped it around the bag, and left it in the Southern Heavenly Realm, while she retreated into the Void.

Silver Moon Venerable flickered his gaze several times, wanting to take action, but feared the bag would be crushed by the long tongue, ultimately allowing Princess Zi Jiang to leave the Southern Heavenly Realm.

Outside, Princess Zi Jiang loosened her tongue and released the bag.

Silver Moon Venerable excitedly grabbed it into his palm, probing inside, it was indeed full of Qi fortune.

Sufficient for him to step into the Wise Man Realm!

"Hahaha, I finally have the opportunity to become a Sage!"

"Jiang Fan, I’ve entered Sagehood first!"

"If the Moon Venerate also enters Sagehood, the two of us will fulfill our promise to become Dao companions, and you can only watch!"

Thinking of the graceful figure of the Moon Venerate, as beautiful as the Fairy Chang’e, he was visibly excited.

Finally, he glanced at the rift, chuckling: "This female giant is quite honest."

Originally thought she would break the agreement and take the Qi fortune away, unexpectedly, she left it behind.

After pocketing the Qi fortune, he looked around to ensure no one was watching and then immediately flashed away.

To deal with Ancient Giants and even let them go, if Central Earth found out, he would not escape the charge of being a traitor.

In the Void.

Princess Zi Jiang shook her head slightly.

"Thankfully, it’s just a fool."

"If Jiang Fan met me, he would deceive me to get the Qi fortune first, and then use tricks to capture me back, gaining both ends."

Thinking of this, she swiped her finger across the Original Star on her forehead, a stream of Time Origin emerged, projecting into the air.

It recorded the scene of the transaction between Silver Moon Venerable and her.

Then she took out a piece of black bone, engraving the projection within it, and flicked it towards the distant Central Earth.

Her eyes were cold: "Is my Qi fortune so easily obtained? Just wait to be annihilated in both body and spirit by Central Earth!"

She waved her sleeves, a massive amount of Time Origin surged out, enveloping her as she headed deeper into the Void.

Not long after.

Jiang Fan rode the Big Black Dog, dragging a fierce beast, arriving at this place.

The Big Black Dog sniffed with its nose, saying: "The scent vanishes nearby."

"Looks like the master was a step too late; the opponent has already fled into the Void."

Jiang Fan wasn’t overly surprised.

The Princess Zi Jiang had been out of trouble for quite some time; with her cleverness and means, escaping was highly likely.

"Master, should I go out and chase her?" the Big Black Dog’s eyes rolled around.

Jiang Fan glanced at it, this damn dog was scheming again.

After a brief consideration, Jiang Fan said: "Forget it."

"Firstly, catching up is uncertain; secondly, she most likely will not return to Central Earth."

"As long as Central Earth is fine, and she only troubles me, it doesn’t matter!"

With him going to the Hundred Realms of All Heavens to redeem the Peace Monument’s lease, the sages of Central Earth would see an explosive increase.

As long as Princess Zi Jiang wasn’t foolish, she wouldn’t target Central Earth again.

The Big Black Dog secretly felt disappointed; it still wanted to test whether the effect of the Hell Soul Bell on it would weaken after running far away.

Unfortunately, Jiang Fan was on guard, not giving it the chance.

Just as it was muttering, a robe filled with karma barriers was extended in front of its nose.

This was the robe of the Ghost Sun Inferior Sage, slain jointly by Jiang Fan and Dongfang Canyue.

This person had left behind a trace of remnant soul; who knew whether the other sages had rooted it out yet.

Now, the Big Black Dog could search for it.

"Where is he?"

The Big Black Dog sniffed, surprised, "Is it him?"

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow, asking: "You’ve seen it?"

The Big Black Dog chuckled, "It’s hiding in the lake of Liquid Spiritual Energy in the World Embryo. I found it at the time but couldn’t be bothered with a small remnant soul."

World Embryo? Liquid Spiritual Energy Lake?

Isn’t it referring to the Purple and Cyan Immortal Mountain?

But, why call it a World Embryo?

No matter, let’s go and kill it first!

Purple and Cyan Immortal Mountain.

On the vast and misty liquid lake.

A splendid jade-carved phoenix chair floated on the lake surface, Ye Banxia in a black dress, legs crossed elegantly, reclined lazily.

She held a black Jade Ruyi in her hand.

Her expression was extremely languid.

She gazed at the lake below, her voice calm and undisturbed: "How long are you going to hide?"

Whoosh—

A thumb-sized remnant soul, wrapped in karma barriers, shot out.

Its appearance was sinister, who else could it be but Ghost Sun Inferior Sage?

Due to being long entangled in karma barriers, its soul displayed a faint black hue, gradually diverging from normalcy.

"A little Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul dares provoke this old man?"

Ghost Sun Inferior Sage fiercely transformed into a remnant soul shadow, shooting towards Ye Banxia, but just before reaching her brow.

A small tree’s seal appeared on Ye Banxia’s brow.

Ghost Sun Inferior Sage hurriedly halted, revealing a look of shock: "Soul Ancient Tree?"

"You’re from... there!!"

His face was filled with terror, turning to flee, but a root extended from the small tree’s seal, entwining Ghost Sun Inferior Sage’s remnant soul.

Then it was drawn into the small tree seal.

Vaguely, Ghost Sun Inferior Sage’s scream abruptly stopped could be heard.

This small tree seal seemed to nourish itself, slightly brightening in turn.

Ye Banxia lazily toyed with the Jade Ruyi in her hand, saying:

"More souls would be nice, but it seems I have no further chances."

She raised her eyes, gazing into the distance.

The small tree seal on her forehead also disappeared alongside.
