Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2021: Chapter 2065: Straight to the Stomach

Jiang Fan stood in place, lost in thought for a long time.

The Big Black Dog’s eyes darted around, saying, "Master, if you’re reluctant, just let her stay."

"In our dog world, there’s a saying: to capture the heart of a female dog, you need to capture her stomach!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan frowned.

"Do you dogs even care about cooking?"

The Big Black Dog rubbed its paws together, saying, "Straight to the stomach."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan still didn’t understand and was momentarily stunned, until he noticed the lewd expression on the Big Black Dog’s face, realizing at last.

In a fit of anger, he kicked the Big Black Dog flying, yelling:

"Damn dog!"

This Big Black Dog is completely incorrigible!

However, its cheeky comment managed to break the gloomy atmosphere.

Staring at the Spiritual Energy Lake beneath his feet, his figure flickered, appearing above the Medicine Garden.

Then, with a thought, the Purple Thunder and Green Frost swords flew out.

A youthful figure with handsome features and an aristocratic demeanor materialized from the Artifact Spirit of Purple Thunder.

It was the Holy Angel Artifact Spirit!

He turned around, saying, "I didn’t expect you could actually take down a corner of the Heavenly Realm."

"However, the two saints are still around, ultimately a hidden threat."

He looked up at the sky, his expression serious.

Jiang Fan’s expression also turned solemn.

The Giant Emperor and the Asura Emperor were destroyed, but the two Saint Realm beings were still intact!

"No matter, the current world has the Dao Slave as a deterrent; they don’t dare to appear, not even to leak a trace of presence."

Yet, the Holy Angel remained stern: "I’m not referring to that."

"Now that the Southern Heavenly Realm has gradually been taken over by the Human Clan, will they still protect the Southern Heavenly Realm, expelling invading Outer Heaven Sages?"

Jiang Fan’s expression remained calm.

This issue had already been considered before the expedition to the Heavenly Realm.

The Southern Heavenly Realm could be destroyed but not occupied.

The reason lay in those two Saint Realm beings!

Central Earth had wiped out their clansmen; how could they not harbor hatred?

If some foreign enemies invade the Southern Heavenly Realm and kill the Central Earth’s powerhouses stationed there, why would they stop them?

They would rather more foreign enemies invade the Southern Heavenly Realm, eliminating the people of Central Earth from there.

Therefore, Central Earth’s motto has always been to destroy the Southern Heavenly Realm, not to occupy it.

"Senior, there’s no need to worry. We’ve anticipated this all along. After sweeping the Southern Heavenly Realm, we’ll quickly scavenge all resources and then withdraw from Central Earth."

"The Southern Heavenly Realm, whoever wants it can have it."

The Holy Angel revealed a relieved smile: "That’s good, then I’ll take the Purple Thunder and Green Frost into the mountain to nurture them."

"If all goes well, both swords will become Quasi-Realm Artifacts, but it will take considerable time."

This was precisely Jiang Fan’s purpose for coming to the Purple and Cyan Immortal Mountain.

"Senior, feel free to proceed."

The Holy Angel immediately returned into the Purple Sword, taking Green Frost with him into the depths of the Purple and Cyan Immortal Mountain.

Jiang Fan wasn’t idle either.

Gazing at the Heaven Burial Saint Beast before him, his eyes grew cold:

"Vile creature! Since you refuse to obey, what use is there in keeping you?"

All along, the Heaven Burial Saint Beast not only refused to be his mount but also resisted being led around.

Moreover, as its injuries constantly healed, its resistance grew stronger and stronger.

Becoming a threat was almost inevitable!

While it could still be controlled with a dog chain, it was best to kill it with Tao Slave Filthy Blood, eradicating future troubles forever!

However.

Just then, a figure emanating powerful energy flew over.

It was none other than the Leng Yue Sage of the Moon Palace.

In her hand, she held a dignified and beautiful woman in palace attire, who was the Beixue Shura Empress.

Once tainted by the Karma Barrier, she had now somehow returned to normal.

Leng Yue Sage said, "There you are after all."

Jiang Fan asked, "Senior Leng Yue, is there something you need from me?"

Leng Yue Sage sighed slightly, saying, "Now that the Southern Heavenly Realm is pacified, and Central Earth is at peace, I want to visit the Source of Evil."

"I want to see what’s truly there."

"Why do old friends change their nature entirely when they go there."

Jiang Fan hesitated.

If he remembered correctly, Leng Yue Sage had once mentioned her lifespan was running short.

This journey to the Source of Evil might be a one-way trip.

"Senior, what about the Moon Palace if you leave?" Jiang Fan asked.

Leng Yue Sage smiled, saying, "I gave you a candidate token for the Moon Palace Master, do you remember it?"

Jiang Fan replied, "Of course, I remember."

That was when he first went to the Heavenly State, given to him quietly by Leng Yue Sage.

He searched within the Heavenly Thunder Stone and found the moon-shaped token.

However, Jiang Fan was somewhat surprised to find the token had changed.

Previously, it was a blue crescent shape; now it was like a full moon.

"Why has this token changed?" Jiang Fan asked, puzzled.

Leng Yue Sage revealed a relieved smile: "Because it has evolved into a Palace Master Token."

"Congratulations, new master of the Moon Palace, Starfire Venerable."

Ah?

Jiang Fan was taken aback and remembered.

At that time, Leng Yue Sage mentioned having given out a total of three candidate tokens.

When someone passes the test to become the palace master, the candidate token automatically becomes the palace master token!

Leng Yue Sage, before leaving, intended to hand the Moon Palace over to Jiang Fan.

He smiled bitterly: "Senior, I don’t even have time to manage the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and you’re trusting me with the Moon Palace?"

"Besides, weren’t there two other candidates? Why not give it to them!"

Leng Yue Sage sighed slightly: "The other two candidates, one is the Reincarnation Mountain Master, who has already had his Dao body shattered."

"The other is the Silver Moon Venerable; do you want him to be the Moon Palace’s master?"

So, it was them!

Neither was a suitable candidate.

The Reincarnation Mountain Master is a vessel remade after possession by the Reincarnation Sage from the Source of Evil.

The mind technique of the Silver Moon Venerable is even more worrisome.

Handing the Moon Palace to them would truly be worse than leaving it with Jiang Fan.

Leng Yue Sage said, "You don’t need to worry too much."

"You may not have the time to manage the Moon Palace, but Chen Silin and the Moon Venerate can run it in your stead."

Jiang Fan laughed helplessly; evidently, Leng Yue Sage had considered everything.

To refuse further would indeed put Leng Yue Sage in a difficult position.

"Alright, I’ll take over the Moon Palace, but please wait a bit before you leave."

Leng Yue Sage revealed an emancipated smile, saying, "Fine, I’ll leave after you take over as the Moon Palace Master."

At that moment, she pointed to the Beixue Shura Empress beside her: "She insisted on seeing you."

"You two chat, I’ll take my leave."

Her eyes flickered between the two with a strange look, muttering something as her body turned ethereal and faded away.

Jiang Fan looked at the Beixue Shura Empress, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, asking:

"Are your injuries better?"

The Beixue Shura Empress also looked at Jiang Fan with complex eyes, replying:

"Yes, the Asura Saint bestowed upon me a portion of Asura Holy Blood, healing my soul’s wounds."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

Did the Asura Saint intervene? Recently?

Was the Beixue Shura Emperor coming to see him on the Asura Saint’s instructions?

Jiang Fan immediately became fully alert, his gaze piercing: "What do you want from me?"

The Beixue Shura Empress slightly pursed her alluring red lips, her hands clasped together, having nowhere to settle.

Her gaze shifted aside, not daring to meet Jiang Fan’s eyes.

After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Can I ask you a favor?"
