Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2071: Chapter 2115: Bingxin Approaches

After pondering briefly, just as the yellow-robed beautiful woman was about to give chase, she suddenly sensed something and looked toward Central Earth.

Her body instantly turned ethereal, becoming transparent Sword Qi, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Under her dazzling gaze, the barrier of the Central Earth World was opened, and an old woman in coarse sackcloth from head to toe walked out.

Her hair was a dirty mix of black and gray, her head a tangled mess, her skin full of wrinkles, and her mouth filled with big yellow teeth.

She exuded the foul stench of someone who hadn’t bathed for days.

She gazed in the direction of Jiang Fan, let out a hoarse laugh, and said, "Damn Jiang Fan, every cause must have its effect, and your retribution is me!"

"I’m here to get you!"

Immediately, she opened her mouth and spat out an ancient bronze boat Magic Artifact, then jumped onto it and took out a Daqian Divine Coin, embedding it into a groove.

At once, the bronze boat erupted with a terrifying humming, turning into a green rainbow and shooting off at incredible speed in pursuit.

The yellow-robed beautiful woman revealed herself, her delicate brows slightly furrowing:

"This old crone has quite the background; even the Daqian Divine Kingdom’s old Void Heavenly Boat is in her possession."

"Does she have a grudge with the Champion Marquis?"

As she pondered, a wave of foul body odor was carried over by the Void’s Space Power.

The yellow-robed beautiful woman’s expression changed drastically; she quickly flicked her sleeve, sweeping away the various scents, and said with disgust:

"Damn old hag, how many days have you gone without a bath?"

After dispersing the smell, she used her power to repeatedly cleanse her body several times, driving away the lingering stench.

Only then did she look unhappily in Jiang Fan’s direction, tap her toes, and glide away gracefully.

At the same time.

Central Earth, Returning Ruins State, Star Mountain.

The Mount Qunxing Master, her head full of silver hair, stood in the Immortal Mountain Palace, facing the Shan Feng in silent contemplation.

The gentle wind lifted her long hair and rustled the letter in her hand.

On it were the elegant words written by Xu Yining.

"Master, I greet you through this letter as if we were meeting in person."

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life back then, and thank you for the care and guidance you gave me. Yining remembers it deeply."

"In my life, I have had two Masters. One is my sincere Li Qingfeng Master, and the other is you."

"In the most difficult moments of my emotional life, Li Qingfeng Master taught me to let go, while you granted me fulfillment."

"Unfortunately, this Disciple is useless; I can neither let go in my heart nor muster the courage to face Jiang Fan."

"But this Disciple has already found her own path. I want to go to a broader world and see what lies at the end of that road."

"Whether I succeed or not, this Disciple will probably never return."

"The kindness of Master, I can only repay in the next life."

"Forgive my departure without farewell. In the years when I am not by your side, may Master remain forever young, safe, and well."

"And may Master soon find a life partner, so you will not be alone."

"This is my formal farewell."

"Yining, kowtows and signs."

The Mount Qunxing Master remained silent.

Looking at the boundless Cloud Sea, a trace of bitterness curled at the corner of her lips, and she sighed softly:

"You all... will regret it."

Taicang State, South Sea.

On an island hanging alone over the deep sea, countless flowers were blooming in radiant profusion.

Spring peach blossoms, summer green lotuses, autumn golden chrysanthemums, winter snow plums.

The flowers that should bloom in separate seasons throughout the year on earth were all blooming at the same time, competing in fragrance and splendor.

Their intoxicating fragrance and brilliance made the island vibrant with life.

Only on both sides of the long stone steps leading to the peak of the island, a pot after pot of tightly closed epiphyllum buds seemed completely out of place.

In front of one epiphyllum, a tall, slender old woman in a teal long dress, with a head full of silver hair, was squatting.

Her shriveled, slender fingers were holding a Small Jade Bottle, pouring Spiritual Liquid brimming with the aura of life into the pot.

But the epiphyllum still remained unmoved.

It stubbornly refused to bloom.

She sighed softly, her voice gentle yet aged.

"All the other flowers have bloomed; why is it that only you refuse to open?"

"Are you... waiting for someone?"

Two and a half days later.

On the Big Black Dog’s back, Jiang Fan’s entire body was crimson, like an Iron Man freshly taken out of a blazing furnace.

He radiated terrifying heat, with great plumes of white vapor hissing as they evaporated.

The Big Black Dog turned its head to look and clicked its tongue repeatedly.

"This guy is a bastard, but he’s really cruel to himself."

"Using the Power of Laws to forcibly Temper his Physique—he’s literally asking for abuse!"

The Big Black Dog had witnessed Jiang Fan’s cultivation the whole way. This so-called Body Tempering was using the Power of Laws to destroy the flesh inch by inch, then letting a brand-new body regenerate.

Then destroy it again, then let it be reborn again.

Repeating this over and over, until not even a trace of the Power of Laws could destroy his body anymore.

The Big Black Dog’s bones ached just from watching.

Even if you put the most fragrant poop in the world in front of it, it would never cultivate such a terrifying Cultivation Technique.

"Still, this Cultivation Technique is really something."

"After just over two days of tempering, his Physique has already reached the level of the Heavenly Human Five Declines."

"If he keeps training like this, won’t he break through the Divine Tribulation of Divinity Transformation and Sage, and attain the Physique of a Sage?"

As it was pondering, Jiang Fan’s body gradually cooled down.

His eyes suddenly snapped open, his gaze almost material, making the Void ahead of him tremble slightly.

He clenched his fists, and an incomparably powerful Physical Power surged through his flesh and blood.

"So the Heavenly Human Five Declines is already this strong?" Jiang Fan’s eyes were filled with delight.

Though the Body Refinement process had been Hell-level torture, the benefits were absolutely real!

The only drawback was that his Physique was still too weak, so the tempering speed was too slow.

The first time he used Laws to refine his body, it took him three days.

Now, even with the foundation of a Heavenly Person Four Declines Physique, one round of tempering still took two and a half days.

And he still needed to use the Void Feather Robe to hurry on his way and go looking for the Great Wine Sacrifice.

He had no time to spend more days on Body Refinement.

Patting the Big Black Dog’s head, Jiang Fan said, "Stop. From here on, you handle the directions, I’ll handle the speed."

The Big Black Dog quickly stopped; it couldn’t wait for Jiang Fan to get there sooner.

Jiang Fan took out the Void Feather Robe and put it on, and just as he was about to activate it, the Moon Realm Fragment in his arms rang for the first time in a long while.

"Huh? Who’s sending a message?"

Jiang Fan took out the Moon Realm Fragment and found that a long-absent member had appeared.

"Flowers in bloom: Everyone, I’m here to keep my promise and come ’sponsor’ our Take a Good Name."

Immediately, two lines of messages popped up.

"Death Diary: Why give him a freebie?"

"Never Ruin the Mood: No way, you’re really a rich lady? Could you consider me? I can lick."

Black lines appeared across Jiang Fan’s forehead.

That Flowers in bloom actually still remembered his real self offline!

He’d just made a joke back then about wanting to be ’kept,’ and she actually came?

Good thing he had already left Central Earth, otherwise this would be seriously awkward.

He casually replied in the Moon Realm.

"Take a Good Name: You’re welcome to come—if you can find me."

"Flowers in bloom: You said it!"

Jiang Fan had just read this message when a roaring suddenly exploded beside him.

A green rainbow slashed through the dark Void, stirring up ten thousand fathoms of chaotic Void turbulence that surged toward them.

The Big Black Dog braced all four limbs firmly, barely managing not to be swept away.

Jiang Fan and the Big Black Dog looked up.

In front of them, an ancient bronze boat was blocking their path.

On the bronze boat stood an old crone leaning on a cane, grinning widely at Jiang Fan.
